Chapter 33 (2/2)
The current Lord Negary might not be able to, however…
Nozades showed one last smile.
But surely one day, Lord Negary will break through the limit of humans, no, he will break through even higher limits than that and truly become the perfect existence!!
The others surely think the same. Lord Negary, he isn’t just the leader that we follow, he is also the ideal to which we all strive to and the greatness to which we dedicate our everything!
“That’s why, Lord Negary, whether it’s my soul, whether it’s my emotions, whether it’s my uniqueness, if they are useful to you, please take it all, you will surely step onto the highest throne, and we volunteer to become the steps under your feet!!” Nozades expended the rest of his strength that couldn’t change anything, and let death overcome his body.
Nozades’ life rhythm gradually disappeared. A will can accomplish many things, but it is not omnipotent, at least, no matter how strong a human’s will was, it was impossible for them to change objective rules.
But his will greatly shocked Chris, causing him to feel puzzled. Puzzled about Nozades, and puzzled about Negary.
“You must be very confused” a voice called out, a Crowmen who wore a black robe jumped down from the top of a building, landing not too far away from Chris: “If he didn’t do what he did. Nozades who was defeated by you would’ve had his belief waver, he would have lost the right to even become a step on ‘his’ stair. That would truly be unforgivable for a Crowmen, and I would have done the same”
“A step… Are you also here to block my path?” Chris took a deep breath, fully prepared for another battle. From the other party’s figure under the robe, he could tell that this Crowmen was a woman. Women had different weaknesses compared to men, and this information was crucial in a battle.
“You could say so. But before that, I have something else I must do” the Crowmen pulled down her hood to reveal a plain female face. She raised her right hand, to show a small bottle with a writhing black liquid substance inside, offering it to Chris.
“I, Tesa of the Crowmen, on behalf of Lord Negary, hereby extend an offer to Mister Chris” the Crowmen spoke solemnly: “Would Mister Chris be willing to become a part of the Crowmen?”
“You shouldn’t refuse right away, Mister Chris” Tesa grinned: “You understand the state of your body better than anyone else. If you become a Crowmen and receive Lord Negary’s blessing, ‘he’ can heal the hidden wounds on your body. If not, Mister Chris would probably not live for too many more years”
“I think you don’t need to say anything else. Just like how you bunch have your beliefs, I have things I won’t give up on” Chris refused Tesa’s invitation without hesitation.
Of course, he knew the current state of his body. An adventurer’s life was even worse than one initially expected, even though he achieved and gained many things during his travels, they also left countless marks on his body.
If he didn’t have [Respiratory Art] to help him heal, the long years of adventuring would’ve already ruined his body. He was indeed the legendary adventurer, but even the legendary adventurer was only human, and humans die.
Chris already had the conviction to give up his life at any time since long ago, just like the man back then.
