Chapter 61.1 - Protagonist: I will kill my former self. (2/2)

The others couldn’t tell which beastkin warrior screamed those words in fright. A Dragon Knight can turn the tide in a battle. Especially in a siege, the Dragon Knight is absolutely invincible A glimmer of despair spread through the beastkin ranks while the human soldier’s morale rose exponentially.

“The son of god!”

The human war god was fighting with the beastkin god. They were deadlocked. When he saw that Eric had summoned the golden dragon, the human war god smiled in satisfaction. However, he didn’t have enough time to taunt his enemy because a black dragon suddenly appeared and ruthlessly attacked the golden dragon.

The cheers of the human soldiers stopped short and the beastkin stared at the battle above them. The human god of war saw that on the black dragon’s back was a golden-haired, blue-eyed human. The god was puzzled and angrily asked the Dragon Knight: “What are you doing?!”

When the Dragon Knight ignored his question, the god of war wanted to teach the ungrateful human a lesson, but he was blocked by the beastkin god.

“Our fight isn’t over yet.”

The war god scoffed: “Even without the Dragon Knight, I can still kill all of these barbarians!”

Sal looked at the black dragon and remembered that he had never thanked Nina for bringing back these friends. The beastkin warrior took a deep breath and roared: “Kill!”

“Kill!!!”

The war cries were shocking. Xiu ignored the two armies below him. He put Du Ze in a safe place; it is now time for him to pursue a personal grudge. Xiu watched Eric riding the golden dragon. From the first time he met this person, he wanted to kill him.

Du Ze and Ariel stayed together. Old John was guarding both of them. Occasionally, Old John knocked out a troublesome human or beastkin. Du Ze watched from below as Xiu confronted Eric. The two are Dragon Knights and they look very similar – blond and handsome. They were like mirror images, surprisingly alike in appearance except for a few subtle differences.

The two men were fated enemies.

Eric looked at the strange Dragon Knight. Even though he could not conceal his hostility, he still tried to communicate with the Black Dragon Knight.

“Why are you helping the beastkin?”

Xiu did not answer Eric’s question. Instead, he asked him the same thing: “Why are you attacking the beastkin?”

“My god instructed me to.” Eric said: “These beastkin have caused a lot of damage to the Moon Empire – have you forgotten the Battle of Fort Steel? The people of the city were slaughtered by the beastkin. So I will expel2 them even without my god’s instructions.”

“Expulsion?” Xiu glanced below him, his smile elusive. “Are you sure this isn’t a massacre?”

Eric was silent. He looked at the beastkin’s besieged women and children and pain flashed through his expression. The son of god took a deep breath and spoke as though he had decided something important: “If they vow to never step into the human’s territory, I will ask the gods to let the beastkin live.”

“Oh …”

Xiu’s soft voice echoed through the night. He really hates this man who is like his past self, stupid and hypocritical – an eyesore.

But Du Ze likes it. He knows that Du Ze has been hoping that he would turn back to his former self, but he will never be able to go back, nor would he want to be a fool who was too considerate of others.

It’s good to live only for yourself, to strive with all your might to possess whatever you want, and the things that make you unhappy should all be destroyed.

“You needn’t bother.” The dragon spear appeared in Xiu hands. “I’ll kill you.”

Xiu aimed the dragon spear at the distant figure of Eric.

He will kill his former self and erase his past.
