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.
