Chapter 348: FINNEAS CURSE - DONE! (2/2)
”Yes,” Rhys replied while carefully walking behind Finnea, a weird smile appearing on his face.
”It's a shame that Alicia wasn't able to see this. I wonder where that girl went. But really, I can't believe that the Tower would actually stole—”
Finnea wasn't able to finish what she was saying because she suddenly fainted. It was obviously the work of Rhys. The elf quickly caught the unconscious Finnea. He picked her up and then put her under the floating red crystal.
After that, he started to write complicated glyphs on the floor. Those glyphs surrounded Finnea into a one big symbol. Then he stood up and punctured his forefinger. A drop of blood fell on the symbol. The moment it did, the symbol glowed red. It created some kind of barrier around Finnea.

Rhys started to mutter some kind of spell. The light on the red crystal suddenly became concentrated and it fell on the unconscious Finnea. It directly shot to her chest, specifically on the area where her heart was. And weirs symbols started to appear on her skin.
The moment Rhys saw that, he started laughing. ”Finally, finally! Just a bit more and you'll be mine!”
”What are you doing?!” suddenly shouted by an intruder.
Rhys looked back and saw the familiar face of his friend. ”Lars, you're here. Did you come to witness the success of my lifelong dream?”
Lars stared at the crazy smile on Rhys' face and then he turned his gaze to the unconscious moon elf lying on top of a magic symbol. The light on the red crystal was continuously pouring on her chest.
He gritted his teeth. ”So, this is what you need the Heart of Edia for? To change the feelings of this moon elf and make her love you?”
”Yes. She should have been mine, you see? If she hadn't met that pesky moon elf, we would have been together by now. She would have borne my son! Not some other man's. Yes, that's right. It should have been me!” Rhys shouted, his eyes filled with that crazy glint. Then his expression became tranquil. ”But no matter, after this, she would only have eyes for me. I'm the only one she would love. And she would forget that moon elf and their bastard son.” He chuckled. ”Maybe I would even ask her to kill them. I'm sure she would be more than glad to do so.”
Lars did not respond to that. Instead, he walked towards the red barrier. Then he raised his head and looked at Rhys.
”Rhys, do you know? I'm in love with you.”

As soon as he said that, he flung his arm and Rhys was suddenly thrown into the distance. Chains appeared and attached his whole body on the ground.
”That why I wouldn't let you have this woman.”
”You- what are you going to do?”
Lars smiled, one might call it gentle, but underneath, it was full of sadness. He didn't reply to Rhys and turned back towards the barrier. He then slashed both his wrists, blood flowed down uncontrollably. Then he began to utter a spell. His blood mingled with the glyphs on the symbol.
”No… no… stop! Lars stop!”
The barrier then broke. Lars walked towards the unconscious moon elf. He knelt down and began to cast another spell before pulling a small knife and stabbing it to his own heart. The light coming from the red crystal finally stopped pouring.
Finnea groaned in pain. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a priest with a knife on his chest. ”You—”
She wasn't able to finish what she was saying because her body was suddenly racked in indescribable pain.
Lars coughed up blood. ”I- I'm sorry… y-you're going to die soon. T-the least I could d-do is to br-bring you to the people you l-love.”

With his hand trembling, he put his forefinger on Finnea's forehead. Then the moon elf vanished.
”Finnea!!!” cried Rhys from a distance.
Lars slowly turned to Rhys' direction, the action made him coughed up blood more. ”Y-you see, she didn't appear beside you. That moon elf, she doesn't have y-you in h-her heart at all.”
”Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” Rhys shouted, looking at Lars with murder in his eyes.
Seeing that, Lars could only laugh deprecatingly. ”Goodbye, Rhys. I love you.”
He closed his eyes, a single tear flowed down his cheek. And then he fell back, completely lifeless.
Rhys stared at this scene. And then an animalistic roar full of anguish escaped his mouth.

After that scene, a notification bell sounded and the Gamekeeper appeared in front of Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun.
