152 Burial Site (2/2)
”Why did he do that?” Wang Yu inquired.
”Because the Martial Artist saw the desolate state of hell. It was then that he realised that the Demon Lord had done what he did with the best interests of his subjects at heart. Even though demons and humans existed in the same realm, the humans were enjoying prosperous and flourishing lives while the demons were suffering to even survive...
Wang Yu nodded as he heard Dwayne's explanation before finally speaking: ”What you're saying is reasonable, but that doesn't change the fact that you guys are fundamentally evil!”
”Is there really such a thing as something inherently good or evil in this world?”
”But you guys encroached on the lands of others, this itself is an act of evil no matter how you look at it!”
”Is it now? The previous Martial Artist said the same thing as well...” Dwayne indifferently replied: ”At the end of the previous war, he did not pursue us to the point of extermination. Rather, he granted us this plot of land and hoped that we would be able to exist here peacefully... we truly are indebted to him!”
”How complicated...” Wang Yu's mind was spinning. Wasn't the Martial Artist one of the seven heroes? Why exactly did he help the faction of darkness?
”It's not complicated at all. The Martial Artist often said that chaotic times bred heroes. But who was the true hero? Who was on the side of 'justice'?”
”So you're saying, throwing away the notion of race and trying to establish a sanctuary for all races was the true 'justice'?” Wang Yu asked.
”That's right! You really are quite intelligent, you will definitely obtain his approval! That Demon Lord ended up becoming the Martial Artist's best friend, the Abyssal Bones you seek in the Burial Site are precisely his bones. But be warned, the Demon Lord's spirit is eternal, even though he doesn't have a physical body anymore, his powers are by no means weak! Be careful Martial Artist!”
”Many thanks Lord Apostle!” Wang Yu cupped his fists and respectfully bowed to express his gratitude.
”No need to thank me, you should thank yourself for being so righteous! If your answer had been unsatisfactory, I would have had to exterminate you for the sake of the faction of darkness!”
”Exterminate me? What do you mean?”
”In the words of your kind, I would have beaten you back to level 0... I really can't risk allowing such a dangerous opponent continue existing.”
”Oh...” Wang Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. This system really was brutal, even testing him under such circumstances... no wonder people said that the forces of darkness were the best at acting.
”But you did great! I wish you all the best!” Apostle Dwayne chuckled as he waved his hand, sending Wang Yu with a ray of darkness.
Shortly after, Wang Yu received a system notification.
At the same time, a black vortex appeared before him...
As Wang Yu hesitantly stuck an arm into the vortex, a strong force suddenly pulled his entire being in.
