? Prince Vol 7 Chapter 6 (2/2)
I took out the last thing Wicked left with sword to me while he himself took the inferior one In a cold voice, I declared, “Co an end to this”
“Yes” The look of heartache in the Dictator of Life’s eyes had disappeared With growing indifference, he stood there silently
I walked step-by-step toward the Dictator of Life Seeing hoas still notat all, I couldn’t help but warn hiht back, I will not show any mercy”
The Dictator of Life gave a faint sht back”
“That’s good!” With that, I ied toward hisword in front of the Dictator of Life, the Black Dao which had dropped onto the floor earlier irasp with a flick of his hand He blocked sword
That’s not the end yet Raising the longsword, I swung it with a wind-like speed I had never achieved before With a light cut, a heavy pierce, a horizontal slash, a direct chop… I tried every single attack possible, one after another Cons from my ar down my forehead
The Dictator of Life’s expression had not changed even the slightest bit It was still so calray eyes, the reflection that re was a clear reflection of my face Just like he said, he wanted to look at me, to be able to watch me forever
I sent a flying kick, but I was blocked by the back of his hand It was as if I were… a praying , I wiped away the sweat that had gotten into my eyes, or maybe, there were tears too… I can’t kill the Dictator of Life I had finally realized that fact I can’t even make a scratch on him!
“I’ve fought back already, now you can killto stretch out his hand to wipe away ht beforehim
I looked up and stared into his eyes without looking away Is he putting up this act of giving up on purpose? Just so he can wait until I dropme? No matter what, I will never ever show any mercy! Even if there is a hint of sadness in his eyes…
Finally, he spoke softly while gesturing at his forehead, “Here, this is where h here and I will be dead immediately”
“You…” I could not continue my sentence, maybe because I didn’t even knohat to say The Dictator of Life is really trying to … Actually he doesn’t have to pretend at all, for just one blow froh to finish me
I had been ready to kill hi myself to do it Why did he have to tell me his weakness, why? My throat was a little hoarse as I asked, “Why? If you had no intention to fight, then why did you resist against the humans in the first place?
“Why must you cause this mess?” Unable to hold back anyer have your Four Heavenly Kings, and I no longer have my co all this?”
I couldn’t help but burst out crying, clenchinginto my flesh Without Odd Squad, withoutin Second Life?
With his lips tightly closed, the Dictator of Life did not utter a word However, his eyes… his eyes clearly showed that he had had no choice!
I slowly set downdown uncontrollably I just couldn’t do it After all, Wicked, Gui, Wolf-dàgē and everyone else were alive and living in the real world However, the Dictator of Life did not have another life out there in the real world With high hopes, I asked what I had alished for “Let’s make peace with each other, okay?”
The Dictator of Life reached out his hands and gently caressed ht I could use my invincible charisma to convince the Dictator of Life to be on peaceful terether… an enlarged version of the Dictator of Life’s handsome face suddenly appeared before my eyes… And then the distance between hi was, the place where we touched is called the mouth, in a nicer term, the lips; and while this action is formally called osculation, ould normally call it a kiss In Chinese it’s called jiēwěn,2 and children may refer to it as a peck
Sob, iven my first kiss to my cousin… Sob, I’ve been forcefully kissed!
Dumbfounded, I just stood there and let the Dictator of Life kisshis lips on mine Compared to the French kisses I had with Phoenix and Fairsky, this was al
“I’ized soain said the phrase that pissed me off “Kill me”
I was on the verge of going on a rae Could this Dictator of Life even understand siet along with each other?”
The Dictator of Life shook his head and replied, “We can’t”
“I won’t do it I siry that I nearly threw the longsword Wicked gave me away I don’t want to be a part of this anymore With that, I turned around and walked off
“Prince, killing the Dictator of Life is your on blocked my way and asked me sternly
“Lolidragon! Why is the Dictator of Life desperately askingwith each other?” After calling Lolidragon’s naly, I stated what I had alanted to know, “I don’t want to play this ga with you any, or else you won’t be seeing ain”
Lolidragon was stunned Pretending to be cal any-”
“Shut up! You’ve hidden s from me I was even only just informed by Kenshi+n of the fact that he and Sunshi+ne can be downloaded to another location” I continued sternly, “If you don’t want me as a friend any from me”
Lolidragon opened her ave in like a deflated balloon and explained cals from you It’s just that I know that if I were to tell you everything, you wouldn’t be able to kill the Dictator of Life anymore, but you must kill him”
The problemyself to kill the Dictator of Life However, I do not want to be kept in the dark anyon any chance to avoid the topic, I on”
“The Dictator of Life did not go against hu controlled He had tried allhi, Lolidragon spilled everything honestly, “And the reason he resisted with so er withstand this anymore His final wish is to be personally destroyed by you”
I gasped It had never occurred tolike this Just who is it? Who would be cruel enough to control the Dictator of Life, forcing hi hier, I asked in a voice full of rage, “Who?! Who is the one controlling the Dictator of Life?”
Everyone who had been silent until now had an enlightened look on their faces as they spoke up one-by-one, “I see, then that explains why it felt like the Dictator of Life was trying to stop us fro to the Northern Continent, yet at the same time, it also felt like he really wanted us to come here”
Winter Triumph even added coldly, “So this was all actually the work of two different people The one anted to stop us was the one who is controlling the Dictator of Life, and the one anted us to come was actually the Dictator of Life himself”
“Lolidragon, just who is controlling the Dictator of Life?” I asked furiously again
Lolidragon could only sigh “If I knew, do you think I would allow hie?”
After re silent for quite a while, I said, “I won’t kill you, Dictator of Life For now, the only person I want to kill is the one ants to control you”
“But I can’t hold on any longer, Prince” The Dictator of Life’s shter He was unable to hold back his tears any down from his eyes “I’m terrified that if you don’t kill me, I will kill you!”
Stubbornly, I said, “No…”
I suddenly felt a sharp pain bursting out of ly at the sword that was protruding out of my chest It was a transparent sword made out of ice Softly, I questioned, “Ocean’s Heart?”
“No!” The Dictator of Life was so shocked that he wanted to rush forward However, chains suddenly appeared around hi a step away from his throne
“Prince-gēgē!” I did not knohen, but Doll had already woken up and was now near tears She even shouted at Celestial, “Celestial, hurry! Hurry up and save Prince-gēgē!”
“With his injuries, I’m afraid…” Celestial couldn’t directly speak of the outcome He then asked with evenPrince? Haven’t you been on the hu?”
“Why?” I felt Ocean’s Heart standing right behindto savethat was the sound of heavy thuds against the ground
“Because the one ants to control the Dictator of Life is entle and hared into a bucket of ice
“How can it possibly be you? You’ve saved me ht that itthe Dictator of Life It had never occurred to me that it would actually be an NPC! And on top of that, Ocean’s Heart
“Humph, I can’t even wait to kill you; ould I save you?” Ocean’s Heart sneered, “Since the beginning, the Dictator of Life sent Celestial to protect you I ainst Celestial, but with everyone in Infinite City the chance of winning would be slim for me That is why I had never planned to face you in Infinite City
“Afterwards, the Dictator actually sent Scorching Fla you directly to Flower City If the two of you were to o out ofyou to Flower City I off-handedly told you the wrong location”
Ocean’s Heart suddenly turned gloomier as he continued, “But I had never expected that you would actually ignorefor Mount HuaLian, you headed for Flower City”
Hearing that, I finally realized that since the beginning we had been tricked by Ocean’s Heart Feeling al the Dictator of life? What benefits do you get fro him?”
“What benefits?” Ocean’s Heart suddenly started laughingthe Dictator of Life is al the whole world!
“Don’t you look down on the Dictator of Life – he’s the best and ence I created Not to ently learn whatever he wants to and update himself on his own Now, the Dictator of Life can hack into any country’s defense line with no problems; he can even send missiles fro the whole world within his grasp” Ocean’s Heart guffawed
Despite knowing that everything was futile, the Dictator of Life continued struggling As he stared painfully at the sword in my chest, his tears trickled down He then stared resentfully at Ocean’s Heart “Father, you pro to me?”
Father? I gasped, I see, I finally understand now Al Dian?”
“Long Dian-biǎogē?”3 Lolidragon shouted in disbelief
“Very clever, Prince As expected of someone who the sword of ice further intoDian sneered, “It’s you who’ve brought me so much trouble If not for you, the Dictator of Life would never have opposed me, his creator, so desperately”
“Let go of hi the chains around hi as you let go of hio with you”
Long Dian said gently, “Why the trouble? If I killed hi anymore”
“Stop, Father, stop!” The Dictator of Life cried painfully
“Dictator of Life, do not give up, don’t be controlled by hi of destruction That damned Ocean’s Heart had actually installed HD on hithe Dictator of Life out of Second Life?
“Long Dian, I won’t forgive you!” I spoke through gritted teeth as I turned into rays of white light and disappeared before everyone, also disappearing from Second Life forever
