Chapter 1224 - Heart (2) (2/2)

Head Arie's eyes watered. 'There's only one will that could cut down my grandson like this… I really was right about his flame's third characteristic… His talent crippled him…'

The truth of the matter that death wasn't difficult to accept. It was saddening and heartbreaking, but it was something we all faced. At the end of the day, many found their own way to justify the lives they led so that they could one day face their ends… Whether that be leaving behind a memorable legacy or turning to religion or simply enjoying your time to the fullest.

In the end, there was something about death that was controlled… orderly… something that gave it meaning and consistency. There was a method, a reason… a certain logic to it that was easy to accept. This was why even a child could know that one day, they would no longer exist, yet they could still smile and happily play around with their friends. It was why a bed ridden elder could still muster their last bits of energy to bid their families fair well.

However, some things were without order… Some things were so completely without meaning that they were completely unacceptable.

Dyon had comprehended an evil he had no business comprehending… A malevolent wickedness marred with disgusting intentions… Without any rhyme or reason… A will that wanted to see the destruction of all things not because it had a purpose or a greater goal, but simply because it didn't want anything in this world to exist.

Dyon clenched his head, his teeth chattering to the tune of illusory cold while his fingers became stained with blood.

His eyes filled with tears. Even he didn't know why they were shed… Something inside of him just wouldn't let them stop.

Dyon's whimpers were overwhelmed by his quick and short breaths. ”It shouldn't exist… I shouldn't exist…”

At that moment, the stream of transparent tears that coated Dyon's cheeks turned red… then black…

A young man who once stood with his back straight, willing to face down any danger was shedding tears of blood for a tragedy he had no idea about… It wasn't for his parents, it wasn't for his wives, it wasn't even for his friends…

In the next instant, an audible cracking sound reverberated through the second tier.

”No!” Head Arie shouted, completely beside herself.

There was no mistaking it… Dyon's dao heart had shattered completely.
