Chapter 40 (1/2)

The Uncle and the Pitch Black Tracker (part 4)

Zhuang Zi said that life, when between heaven and earth, needs a foundation. It’s hard for it to remain detached.

Maybe life begins by undergoing worries and hards.h.i.+ps. No matter if they are big or small, unavoidably, people must be able bear many things. And as they sweat profusely, they will toil hard.

I am Zhai He: Zhai He who opened a weapon shop.

No matter who is blocking my way, I will not give in.

Like just now, I decided on my own to cross over ghost of the hero, Leon, and chose to move forward.

And so, my vision had become clearer.

“Tsk, who are you really? Leon, or someone else? You’re really so unreasonable. Inspection Official, kill that demon! Isn’t that your duty?”

Right now, I couldn’t control my body to respond. My brain and body’s connection had been severed.

When my body received the attack, my pain center did not react.

For that same reason, when my brain wants to operate my body, my body doesn’t respond in the slightest.

Thus, I was only a bystander. I probably couldn’t even be said to be an audience member, because I could not move my gaze to Carolina.

But I felt what Carolina was doing.

She raised up her pure white and silver sword, filled with the might of the G.o.d of Holy Light,

Later, I will kill her.

This body that could not be controlled, will kill her before her sword falls.

Because the only reason I drew my sword was Little Elan.

This was the first time I had felt such a deep despair that I was unable to see the bottom. This wasn’t a despair because I saw the difference in strength when I met that man in battle, but a despair that was because I really wasn’t able to do anything. I couldn’t protect anything, because this destruction came about from my own hands.

That man stopped. He struck a pose and wore a sneer on his face.

That extremely crus.h.i.+ng pressure lessened slightly, and my eyeb.a.l.l.s could turn slightly.

That man wanted me to watch the scene where Carolina killed Little Elan, where Little Elan was killed by a companion.

What I was worried about was that I would kill Carolina.

Carolina fiercely bit her bottom lip. The rims of her eyes were red.

But she still raised the sword.

“Carolina…….jiejie…….”

Losing all of her will to escape, Little Elan powerlessly looked at Carolina, softly calling out her name.

My body had already become taut. When Carolina swung her sword, everything would become irreversible.

I watched Carolina attentively as she raised her sword, but she had returned to the icy cold persona from the first time we met.

“Demons, I cannot forgive you.”

The silver sword trembled slightly, but Carolina’s dark green eyes were full with resolve.
