Chapter 629: I will give you this honor (III)

“Cai’er, for how long are you staying in Holy City?”

“Why are you asking this?”

“I… I just want to know for how many more days I can keep sending you off.”[a]

“I’m just a blind girl. Is sending me off really such an important thing?”

“I… I don’t know!”

“I’m not a burden for you?”

“How could you be a burden for me?”

“Cai’er, actually I am really very ugly. Seeing that I am so ugly, how could I think of you like a burden?”

“Very ugly?”

“Yes, very ugly."

“Then are you willing to keep holding my hand forever?”

“I am willing.”

“Let me help you.”

“Let me go.”

“This is our home.”

“Cai’er, I promise that I will make a warm home for you. Our home!”[b]

“Yeah.”

“Idiot, what are you waiting for before giving me some clothes to wear?”

“Yeah.”

“No peeking!”[c]

“Yeah.”

She just remembered everything, the whole time they spent together, every part of the process. And all the memories, be it before or after her amnesia, instantly merged as one.

Tears were flowing from Cai’er’s eyes; seeing Haochen’s heart destroyed, she felt as if it was her own heart that was destroyed. Her tears were mildly red colored, and gradually turned bright red.

Long Haochen’s body swayed lightly, falling slowly to the ground. That strong will in his eyes didn’t disappear from beginning to end; the instant he issued that challenge to the Demon God Emperor, he had cut the Soul Sharing Chains’ link, and as his body toppled over, his eyes were looking at Cai’er’s direction and slowly closing.

From Cai’er’s point of view, his look was just as gentle. Even while closing his eyes, he seemed to be expressing his everything to Cai’er. There was a thin grief, but mostly encouragement, as if telling Cai’er to survive, and live courageously.

Long Haochen had just died, closing his eyes contentedly. With the promise made by the Demon God Emperor, his comrades would be able to leave alive from there, and this was already enough in his eyes. Trapped in such desperate straits, he was already satisfied that the others would leave alive from there.

In the instant he collapsed, he came to read far too many things in Cai’er’s eyes.

He saw all kinds of things from the past, saw that coldness and warmth belonging to Cai’er alone. She finally recovered her memories! Long Haochen felt extremely unwilling; even at the instant of his death, he was still unwilling to see Cai’er in such a painful and unwilling state. So he shut his eyes, and revealed a thin smile on his face.

Bam. Long Haochen’s body fell heavily to the ground. Mysteriously, that penetrated area on his chest didn’t leak out any blood. His whole body sank heavily in darkness, and everything instantly became distant. He only felt as if flying far in the midst of darkness, feeling very cozy, as if all his worries and duties had broken away at once.

He just felt very light, heading to a direction with only endless relaxation...

All the looks on the faces of the Demon Hunters from Bright Glimmer of Hope became dull. They were gazing at Long Haochen’s direction, unable to even let out tears. It seemed as if time had stopped perpetually on that instant. They wanted to shout, cry bitterly, yell, but were unable to let out the slightest sound.

That captain who had led them unhindered over the continent through countless experiences of life or death, Long Haochen, the Saint Knight Head from the Knight Temple, god’s chosen one, Scion of Light, had left them forever.

Long Haochen’s corpse was lying unmoving, still showing a smiling face. But it was as if he had taken away all spirit from every member of Bright Glimmer of Hope. Every single one of them had turned close to zombies on that instant.

The Demon God Emperor’s Fengxiu’s look was also lifeless, calmly looking at Long Haochen lying on the floor. From the finger he had just used, drop after drop of blood flowed and dropped to the ground.

Just as it seems, he was wounded. Although he hadn’t used any of his own abilities or equipment, the Demon God Emperor reaching a spiritual energy of one million and unequalled in the continent got his finger wounded by Long Haochen’s last sword strike.

The looks of the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God also froze, but deep in their hearts, they let out deep breaths of relief. This person, Austin Griffin’s blood contractor, finally died.

The demons’ threat, that heavenly wrath they feared beyond compare, was finally gone.

In a world of black and red.

An immense figure was crawling in a cave, his six heads all looking upwards. The surroundings were a mess in this firm cave, and he had countless bruises all over his body.

His six heads were still looking up high, but all the eyes on all his heads leaked purple blood.

His aura was fading bit by bit, while the amethyst colored scales on him also gradually lost their luster.

……

In the midst of unwilling howls reverberating inside a cave, his six heads which up to now were held high dropped unwillingly.

All the pressure was obliterated completely in an instant. The Demon Hunters from Bright Glimmer of Hope fell to the ground one after another, but still dazedly remained on the ground, all their looks still gathered on this youth lying on the ground, still smiling but without an ounce of life left.

Abruptly freeing herself, Cai’er forced herself to stand on the ground. Her face was already empty of tears. At that moment, memories of the times that he took the enemies’ attack for her one time after another echoed inside her.

…

Her body was shaking violently in unwillingness, and her aura grew further and further in intensity in the midst of her shaking.

Taking one staggering step forward after another, Cai’er advanced toward him, until she tumbled onto him.

Her hand was lifted lightly, falling on that handsome face and touching it.

He’s dead, my Haochen is dead...

“How could you part from me like that...” Cai’er murmured lightly, “Idiot, I just remembered… I just remembered everything about us! You are my idiot, how could you die and leave me alive? Didn’t you say that you would protect me for a lifetime as my Guardian Knight? How could you just die like that?”

Ding. In a light buzz, Long Haochen’s chest swayed, and a golden object came to view on the left side of the Golden Foundation Armor.

That was a small golden skull, the Eternal Melody which was embedded long ago on his chest and that Long Haochen had never been able to struggle free from.

Now that he was dead, the Eternal Melody finally parted from him, separating from his body. As the key to the Tower of Eternity, it had no obligation to guard a dead person, so it chose to leave.

Cai’er grabbed that golden skull almost instantly; her body couldn’t refrain from shaking, but that instant, she suddenly became stiff for a short period of time, before she threw herself on Long Haochen in loud sobs.

“Get lost, all of you just get lost!” The Demon God Emperor standing in silence suddenly broke out in the kind of state of hysteria he had just before entering, bellowing these words frantically.

The gate of the Star Demon Pagoda opened abruptly, and a gale blew suddenly and engulfed every of the Demon Hunters as well as Long Haochen’s corpse, expelling them outside of the Star Demon Pagoda.

“Spread my order that no demon is allowed to stop them from leaving from Modu Core City. No one is to chase after him, or his whole clan will be wiped out.”

The Demon God Emperor’s cold voice broke out suddenly, and his terrifyingly formidable mental force abruptly spread to the whole Modu Core City in a burst. The terrifying might that was unleashed that instant made all the demons in Modu Core City crawl in fear, not daring to budge.

Right, their almighty emperor was furious, and almost every one of the Demon God Emperor’s bursts of fury would be the trigger of a calamity.

In a fierce wave of his hand, the Star Demon Pagoda closed its gate, and at that very moment, the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu had to take large gasps to breathe.

Looking upwards, his chest undulated violently. These terrifying magic fluctuations made the Moon Demon God Agares and Star Demon God Vassago alert, and they shivered slightly.

A Demon God Emperor in an unstable mood was an absolutely terrifying thing. Even killing the two of them would not be an impossible thing for him.

Fengxiu’s fists were clenched, and in the end a dark golden tear drop rolled from the outer side of his eye.

Opening his eyes abruptly, he looked toward the Moon Demon God Emperor Agares, “Aren’t you baffled that I have just let these humans off?”

Agares kept quiet out of fear and didn’t dare utter a word.

“Let me tell you, it is because this young man I have just killed has my blood flowing in his body, and was originally the second successor I had arranged. From the time of his birth, I didn’t do anything for him, and until that day I found out about him, I have not even once meddled with him. But he unfortunately concluded a blood contract with Austin Griffin, so I had to personally kill someone in whom my blood is flowing. Do you understand? All I could do for him was to let him die with the least regrets possible.”

Agares raised his head abruptly and had an expression full of unbelief. Never did he imagine that this so called Scion of Light and humans’ future hope Long Haochen actually had the Demon God Emperor’s blood flowing inside him. That was the Devil Dragon Clan’s royal blood!

Vassago didn’t mutter a word from beginning to end. As the one who utilized the Great Prophecy Technique, he was the only one aside from the Demon God Emperor to be aware of that relationship between Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor.
