Chapter 241 One
The snake lady couldn’t understand as happening, but even a she could do facing this reat deotten for a long tihtened around her so oppressively that she couldn’t do anything but si froain What was once earth rose to the sky and gathered to foretting struck by Chi-Woo’s fist, her body was ripped into tiny pieces and fell like an endless rain The only thing that suggested she had once been in the rooround This wasn’t the end, but only the beginning
The giant , stretched his arms With only one move, the debris that had already cruround cracked, and every ti relentlessly and rocked the whole city along with it Swept into the afterreat deness as if they had been struck by a nuclear bomb
Unable to advance further because of the scattering debris in the air, Shersha barely aze wavered as she looked up at the sky This was the future she had wanted to prevent at all costs, but the heavenly king she had seen before was even ed to split continents with one punch and flip the sea as easily as an adult twisting a siant’s movements were still limited to this city meant he had yet to truly awaken all his powers
Thus, it wasn’t over yet Although it was still a bit too late, there existed a chance to turn things around While the world was on the verge of breaking, the future could still be changed Shersha needed to act as quickly as possible She propelled herself with a strong kick and soared into the air as dark fog wrapped around her body She had to approach the heavenly king even at the risk of her life
Chi-Woo didn’t feel empty or dazed What he felt was i levels, it was as if his whole body was e and destruction He didn’t feel fully awake in his mind andelse And in his completely white vision, Chi-Woo noticed a trickle of blackish s shadow
—No…
A voice flowed into his e…
As soon as Chi-Woo noticed it, he was already raising his fist
—The future…?
Chi-Woo stopped, and his fist halted right before it , he found his blurred vision gradually cos became clear, and he finally saw Shersha inside the shadow For some reason, his mind awakened the moment he heard the word ‘future’ It felt as if he had barely mire and wake up
The two looked at each other Chi-Woo groaned, his face contorted The coan to siain
—Endure it…
Shersha said
—You have to repress the urge…
Chi-Woo closed his eyes
—Come back…it’s not too late yet…
Would he surrender his body to his instincts again, or would he resist?
—Trust me…
Shersha desperately pleaded Chi-Woo’s eyes burst open, and he hhhhhhh!” Words leaked out of his seee, the more control he recovered over his body, Chi-Woo felt the senses that had been lost coiant which had been big enough to bend the sky returned to the size of an adult ain There were still soaerous If Chi-Woo had continued to ra in this city, and he would’ve never been able to coh it wasn’t as bad as the first future, only half of the city re in his vicinity had been annihilated—except one being
“You…came back…” Shersha said “Thank…you…”
Her condition seemed dire She couldn’t even stand properly; sheabove “In the end…it caed to utter as she stared at Chi-Woo With this, everything was out of her hands, and now she could only trust Chi-Woo to do the rest It was a truly funny thing She was collaborating with the ene her ene else that could be done Further she told him to do until now; it was her turn to fulfill her side of the promise
“Listen well…” There was no need for her to hesitate Shersha breathed deeply and said, “The future…of this citywon’t change…”
…What?
“Whatever you do…so…” Shersha’s face squinched “So as soon as you return…tell the legend…”
Chi-Woo frowned He knehat she end’
“The floon’t blooue e…” Chi-Woo wanted to ask what in the world she was talking about, but couldn’t
“Soon…the dragon will…!” Blood spurted out of Shersha’s asped out, “Be killed…”
Soon, blood began to come out of her eyes, nose, ears, and anywhere that had holes “But…the dragon must not die…at that time…” Shersha vomited the blood that filled her mouth once more and said, “Must hurry…the two of you…before you lose…” Her whole body trembled, and her eyes widened to an abnormal extent
“Instead—!” Shersha tried to continue somehow, but all of a sudden, her head exploded Brain fluids and skin colored with purplish light scattered in all directions It was as she had said: she would meet her death when she broke the two conditions tied to her prophetic powers
Chi-Woo stared in shock at Shersha’s headless corpse For some reason, his brother’s appearance overlapped with hers It was then he heard a voice
“In the end, that’s the path she chose”
Chi-Woo felt a presence behind hiht red hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall: Astarte The two met eyes, and Astarte raised both arms to show that she meant no hare”
It was then Chi-Woo recalled Shersha telling hi for the worst-case scenario This great deement
“Of course, I will also die like Shersha if I give you this e” Astarte winked “The saan to apply to me the moment she informed me It really is a bothersome skill Don’t you think?”
Chi-Woo didn’t answer Perhaps it was a side-effect of the explosion, but he couldn’t find it in hily unconcerned
“Honestly…I’m not unsure” She looked at Shersha’s body for soht choice”
“…”
“Or whether Shersha really had to die…” Astarte looked slightly bitter, but her voice soon beca—Shersha wanted the best for the Deht to : if she was really working for the Demon Empire, shouldn’t she have taken the die froreat demon did that
“Well, I don’t like the current Demon E “I feel like everything has become weird since we invaded this city I don’t know if it’s a sense of hollowness or anxiety…but it’s completely different from the time we first came to dominate the Middle World” Astarte stomped forward across the debris and crouched down next to Shersha
“Ha, what a…” Astarte carefully caressed Shersha’s corpse and smiled The commotion around them drew close It was probably those who came to check up on what had happened
“Then…can I request so from you before I die?” Astarte turned back to Chi-Woo She looked even more at peace as she asked, “Could you…spare us just once?”
