Chapter 116: Dragon Soul Blast – Losing emotions
Long Mo Ya narrowed his eyes and silently stared at Ye Tian Xie for a while. Then he looked away as if he remembered something and forlornly said, ”Of course I know of this skill because every person with dragon's blood will have it. Every dragon can use the Dragon Soul Blast.”
”Igniting the Dragon Soul and destroying everything……What this ill.u.s.trates is the final light at the end of a dragon's life. Because, this is an exclusive desperation technique for our dragon race. A forbidden skill that cannot be used unless one is in a life or death situation!”
”……” Although he had already guessed this, hearing Long Mo Ya's explanation, he was still surprised. A desperation technique would have a terrifying might, but it usually came with a brutal penalty. How terrifyingly strong was the Dragon Soul Blast? How bad was the penalty? Was it losing levels? Was it reduced stats? Or was it something else?
”If one uses the Dragon Soul Blast, what would happen?” Ye Tian Xie asked.
If you use the Dragon Soul Blast, you can defeat enemies ten times as strong as you and even a hundred of these enemies by yourself. You will be able to destroy whatever you wish to destroy. It's also for this reason that there are few people who are willing to offend the dragon race. Throughout the history of dragons, there have been people that have used this before. Every time the Dragon Soul Blast was used, it caused a catastrophic amount of damage. The scene was so terrifying that if one doesn't personally witness it, it would be hard to imagine. But the consequences of using the Dragon Soul Blast is as terrifying as its results……Every dragon can only use the Dragon Soul Blast once in their lifetime because it detonates all their strength, life force, willpower, faith, and soul to send out a strike of desperation. After being used, the dragon's body will be like an empty oil lamp. In all these years, our dragon race's records have recorded thirteen instances of the Dragon Soul Blast being used. There were six of them that were instantly scattered after burning their Dragon Souls, disappearing without a trace. Five of them were unconscious as empty sh.e.l.ls and ran out of life force after just a few days……As for the two lucky remaining dragons, they survived, but they did not have a trace of dragon's power left. They couldn't even stand up by themselves afterward……painfully living the rest of their lives in that feeble condition.”
Ye Tian Xie: ”!?”
”Then what about me……I am an otherworlder human and cannot truly die in this world. If I use the Dragon Soul Blast, what would be the results?”
Long Mo Ya stared at him and slowly said, ”Perhaps you won't die……But you will definitely be like those lucky dragons that lived…….All your stats will fall to one and you'll never be able to recover or gain new powers again.”
Ye Tian Xie: (⊙o⊙)!!
[TL Note: I could have replace this with text, but look at that face]
G.o.d……Is this true…….If it is, then who was the one that designed such a messed up skill……With these consequences, even if it is broken, who would be silly enough to use it…….What was more hateful was the fact that the effects and consequences weren't even given. If he had accidentally used it, then he would really have something to cry about!
It had to be known that «Destiny» did not have a restart option. One could not create a new account after deleting their old account.
”Forget about this desperation technique. You are an otherworlder human, so you won't face a truly desperate situation and will never have the opportunity to use this skill. There's also something I need to tell you……If one doesn't die after using the Dragon Soul Blast, there is still another terrifying side effect.”
”What is it?”
”Losing……Emotions!” Long Mo Ya's eyes turned distant as he slowly said these two words.
”Losing emotions?” Ye Tian Xie was stunned. What kind of side effect was this?
”After using the Dragon Soul Blast, the user will forget all the most important emotions in their lives. They will forget all the events and people that are attached to these emotions. From that ancient records of the dragon race, the two dragons that survived both confirmed this point.” Seeing Ye Tian Xie's surprised face, Long Mo Ya sighed and said, ”Do you feel like this side effect doesn't seem all that frightening? Ah……Losing one's emotions. Once you have something that you cherish in your heart, you will understand how this is a punishment crueler than death.”
”I already know.” Different from what Long Mo Ya expected, Ye Tian Xie did not show an expression of confusion or disdain. His eyes were filled with traces of pain, loneliness, and love. He had experienced true love before and had also lost it……But even if it made him feel pain, he would never allow himself for forget about it, or about her……Because, once he forgot about her, every day, every minute, every second, he would be a completely empty person.
