Chapter 769: Eight-headed Haoyue (II)
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
However, the Knight of Judgement of the Dead did not do that. With a flash, he blocked in front of the Lich King and raised his dark purple sword. He produced a blur of lights and blocked Haoyue’s attack.
Heavy clangs constantly erupted in the air. The Knight of Judgement of the Dead was actually beaten into a retreat by Haoyue’s new dark golden head.
Roar! The seven other heads all produced a furious roar. In the next moment, a bright purple light haze expanded from Haoyue’s body.
Although the people of the Bright Glimmer of Hope did not take part in this battle, they were all powerhouses, so they could sense what Haoyue was about to do in the distance.
Lin Xin could not help but say, “I- is that an eight element Essence of Disorder? Have any of you ever heard about magic that mixes elements?”
Although Sima Xian’s eyes had widened in shock as well, he continued to add sarcastically, “It’s strange only became you rarely see it. Haven’t you seen it now. It’s far too powerful.”
Yes, it really was far too powerful.
It was an eight element Essence of Disorder and it was used instantly. When the bright purple light slammed into the Knight of Judgement of the Dead and the Lich King, spiritual energy surged out of both of their bodies. In particular, the Knight of Judgement of the Dead who stood at the front had all of his darkness which represented the darkness element dragined. The huge sword in his hand lost its lustre as well.
At this moment, the blades of light from Haoyue’s dark golden head quickly fused into a huge blade, striking down towards the Knight of Judgement of the Dead brazenly. At the same time, a thick, purple haze spewed out from his seven other heads, such that the knight could not even escape anymore.
It was also at this moment that the Lich King who had broken free from being covered in golden colour suddenly appeared in front of the Knight of Judgement of the Dead. She spread her arms and seemed like she wanted to use her body to block the terrifying attack.
A cold light flashed through Haoyue’s dark head. Block it? What a joke. Once that blade fell, both undead kings would be dead.
In this critical moment, a translucent white light suddenly appeared. Clang!
A sharp vibration rang out, so intense that the Bright Glimmer of Hope in the distance could not help but clutch their ears. The Knight of Judgement of the Death and the Lich King retreated together.
Haoyue was surprised. He looked at the figure he had knocked away and did not pursue him.
Wasn’t it Long Haochen who had blocked the Knight of Judgement of the Dead and the Lich King?
Roar, grrr. Haoyue’s eight heads growled in confusion.
Only by actually receiving Haoyue attacks could Long Haochen understand just how terrifying it had now become. Long Haochen’s arms that clutched the Sword of Eternity both became numb upon taking on the strike. And, a terrifying will of destruction circumvented the Sword of Eternity and left a white mark on the Armour of Eternity. Although the white mark quickly vanished, Long Haochen could still sense the frenzy brought on by the aura of destruction.
“Haoyue, enough.” Long Haochen said seriously, “I promised them that if they don’t disturb your evolution anymore, we’ll spare them. They can’t threaten you anymore, so just let them go.”
The Knight of Judgement of the Dead and the Lich King had basically just escaped death. They stared at the man in the Armour of Eternity blankly. Their feelings were extremely mixed. He really did carry out his promise. He had stopped Austin Griffin from killing them.
Haoyue continued to growl, clearly unwilling to spare these two undead kings.
Long Haochen snorted angrily, “If you really want to do it, then kill me first.” He valued his promises dearly. Moreover, he felt a slight unease from the terrifying aura of destruction from Haoyue.
Haoyue’s eight heads blinked their eyes at the same time and the growling stopped. It flapped its wings and approached Long Haochen closely. Its eight heads extended over together.
“Be careful,” the Lich King could not help but call out.
Long Haochen remained where he was. Haoyue’s dark golden head glared at the Lich King, before nudging Long Haochen’s body gently with its seven other kids. From how it seemed, it was no different from a pet fawning over its master.
The Knight of Judgement of the Dead and the Lich King were completely stunned. In their minds, Austin Griffin was a terrifying existence! How, how was it possible for it to be so close to a human? And, it had clearly expressed subservience. In other words, it had agreed to the human and decided to stop hunting them down?
Sensing Haoyue’s closeness with a hint of indignation, Long Haochen’s expression eased up. He gently touched the two new heads and said, “I understand your indignation, but the only way for grievances to be settled is through reconciliation. Moreover, they can’t threaten you anymore. If I’ve guessed correctly, you must have caused them great pain in your past life, or they wouldn’t treat you like this. If you keep looking for revenge, when will this matter be put to rest? Just let them go.”
Haoyue nodded gently and stopped persisting. Ever since it had followed Long Haochen, this was the first time Long Haochen had gotten mad at him. It made it feel afraid, so it obviously would not persist with what it wanted.
Long Haochen looked at the Knight of Judgement of the Dead and the Lich King. He said indifferently, “You can go. If you had interfered when Haoyue was evolving, this would have never happened.”
“Thank you for forgiving us, great human king,” the Lich King and Knight of Judgement of the Dead bowed towards Long Haochen at the same time.
Long Haochen sighed gently, “You’ve heard what I just said earlier as well. If you can let go of your grievances, then please do.”
The two undead kings fell silent. A few seconds later, the Knight of Judgement of the Dead said seriously, “If you went through what we went through in the past, you’ll understand why we can’t let go of it. Thank you for forgiving us. Before we leave, I must warn you that although the blood pact has changed Austin Griffin very much, its innate character won’t change. Once it awakens all of its powers, it might not be able to control itself.”
With that, the Knight of Judgement of the Dead bowed towards Long Haochen once more, before leaving as two streaks of light with the Lich King.
Once it fully awakens its powers? Long Haochen looked at Haoyue in secret surprise. He was speechless. Had Haoyue still not yet reach his complete form, despite becoming so powerful?
It was also at this moment that a green light flashed near Long Haochen’s chest. His heart skipped a beat.
“Hmm? This is… Ye Xiaolei’s contract? Has something happened to Ye Xiaolei?”
Surprised, Long Haochen immediately patted Haoyue’s head and said, “Haoyue, you’ve just evolved, so stabilise your cultivation first. I’ll be right back.”
As he said that, he quickly patted his chest and green light immediately appeared from there, blanketing his body in the blink of an eye. With a flash,he vanished. He did not even explain anything to his companions. He only said three words to Cai’er right before he left, “Ye Xiaolei.”
The Knight of Judgement of the Dead held the Lich King’s withered hand and slowly flew through the air.
“Why did you block in front of me earlier?” The Knight of Judgement of the Dead suddenly asked seriously.
The Lich King’s sharp voice became gentle in that moment, “We’ve lived for too long. I have no regret in dying with you, and you could have left before, did you know? When I blocked in front of you, I had stopped fearing Austin Griffin. When you didn’t abandon me and faced against it with me, I knew that you still remember me, right? For all this time, you haven’t taken care of me because of my superior strength, but because you’ve never forgotten me, just like how I’ve never forgotten you. You always refused to admit it. This time, there’s nowhere for you to hide. Augustin, do you still want to keep fooling me?”
The soulfire in the Knight of Judgement of the Dead’s eyes leapt up gently, “Ina, why must you bring this up? We’re both undead already. All we have left are our inextinguishable soulfire. My body’s become so ugly, and I…”
“Enough, don’t say anything more.” Ina said fiercely, “Why don’t we deserve love just because we’re undead? Why are you telling me this? That’s just your disgusting ego haunting you. You were once a prince, but you’ve become an undead now, so you can’t face yourself. Or are you saying that our love is only restricted to the flesh, where you won’t admit it if there isn’t the joining of flesh?”
“No, of course not.” The Knight of Judgement of the Dead’s pitch increased, “Ina, it was me who failed to protect you back then! It was me who failed to guard your side during the most important times, allowing you to be killed right before me and become undead. I don’t have the right to tell you that someone as ugly as me was once your lover. After I became undead, I was physically and mentally exhausted. All of my hopes were destroyed in that moment. It was just to protect you that I decided to survive, which was why I worked hard to become even stronger. How could I not love you? In my heart, no matter what you become, you are always my beloved Ina.
Listening to the Knight of Judgement of the Dead Augustin’s unhesitated confession, the Lich King Ina’s soulfire softened, “I love you too, my Augustin. It’s already been more than six thousand years. After that day of disaster, we all became undead. But, after these six thousand years, only one name still exists in my heart, and that’s you, Augustin. Even though we’re both undead, even though we have no future, I don’t want to part with you ever again, even if there is only this world of black and red, my dear Augustin.”
As she said that, the Lich King gently leaned into the Knight of Judgement of the Dead’s arms. They had no sense of touch, but in that moment, their soulfire seemed to mingle together, and the soulfire leapt even more gently.
