Chapter 1226 - Why (1) (2/2)

The Princess of Beauty raised her small, delicate hands, extending her index and middle finger, one laid atop the other as though she was laying a Go stone in the air.

Her aura changed completely. The once shy and reserved beauty became as sharp as a sword, her spiritual robes fluttering within Dyon's inner mind.

'If we want to give him a chance to crawl out from under this and reforge his dao heart, we do not need to build the entire road, we simply need to show him to the entrance.'

Esmeralda's eyes shined. The title of Princess of Beauty was definitely not hollow. She had been so blinded by her concern that she couldn't separate herself from the situation to think of the best solution, but the Princess of Beauty had.

At that moment, a single word overtook Dyon's psyche: Why?

The word had no further explanation, it had no deeper or profound meaning, it simply repeated. Again and again, in an eerie rhythmic fashion that caught Dyon's attention despite his state of mind.

Why?... Why?...

Dyon looked at the knife that was still in his c.h.e.s.t and the blood the flowed from it. ”Why?...” He muttered.

He didn't know why this was reverberating in his mind. He knew why he wanted to kill himself. It was because nothing mattered. All of his effort, all of his hopes, his dreams, his aspirations, they were all empty. So, what was the point in living? There was none.

So, why did this word keep coming up? He knew his answer. He did. He really did.

”Do I?...” Dyon muttered. His eyes scanned the surroundings.

The beasts had long since smelt the blood coming from Dyon, but when they saw him, they didn't dare to approach. There was something dangerous about this young man… So dangerous that they didn't dare to attack him even while he had a knife in his c.h.e.s.t.

”Why are we all here if nothing matters?...” Dyon muttered. ”…I… I need to… need to find out…”

Dyon slowly pulled the knife from his c.h.e.s.t, watching the blood drip without expression.

White flames surged, closing the wound in an instant as though it had never existed to begin with. And then… Dyon disappeared from where he stood.
