Chapter 29
"Too many people have been sacrificed for us." Isabella said painfully: "I saw Priest Bukittel die in front of me with my own eyes. That being will never let me go"
"I think you're mistaken!" Chris laughed. "I'm not that idiot, Bukittel!"
"You!" Isabella looked at Chris in shock.
"Bukittel wanted to take you away because of his own beliefs. He wanted to lend a hand to anyone who was worth saving, but now it seems that you have given up on yourself. You are not worth Bukittel saving at all."
"But I'm just a mercenary who accepted a mission. Bringing you away is my mission. I don't care about your wishes. Whether you're willing or not, I'll bring you away."
"After all, Bukittel paid with his life as the reward for this mission!" Chris turned around and walked outside. His tone was exceptionally serious. "That's why I have to complete this mission no matter what. That's the only way I can live up to that idiot's reward!"
As Isabella watched Chris slowly leave, her tears couldn't help but flow down her cheeks. Her life was full of misfortune, even though she was born into a noble family, she was still caught up in a coup and her family was dragged into it, so she could only run for her life to the Cauchy settlement at the border.
She was lucky to meet a lover who could support her for life, but he was cruelly killed when she was pregnant. She struggled to give birth to her daughter and raised her, but she was shrouded in the shadow of a demon.
If it weren't for Isabella's strong character, if it weren't for the fact that she still had her daughter to take care of, if it weren't for Jacques telling her to live well, this woman would have gone crazy.
"Mom, don't cry. Everything will pass." Nala hugged her mother and comforted her.
In the distance, two black-robed Crowmen were staring coldly at Isabella and her daughter from the window.
"I thought Isabella was scared out of her wits, but it seems like she's thinking of running away again," one of the black-robed men said slowly, "Should I say that he's the legendary ranger Chris?"
"Then it seems that I can fight with this Great Legend." Another person chuckled, looking very expectant.
"If you want to go, then go, Nozades. After all, he's your idol. It was because of his deeds that you chose to travel, wasn't it?" The black-robed man walked towards Isabella and said, "Leave Isabella to me. They are the people that Master told us to watch over. Apart from the Ranger, there are other people who have designs on them."
"Understood, Lord Yadley." Nozades nodded seriously: "Although Chris is my idol, with Sir Negri's blessing, I will definitely be able to defeat him. After all, the greatest form of respect for an idol is to defeat them with your own hands!"
Comoros prayed again. He didn't care about Chris who had left or the Crowmen who were about to attack. Looking at the black holy statue surrounded by crows, Comoros could only pray again and again to numb himself.
Although his body still belonged to him, he knew very well that he didn't have much time left.
The sound of footsteps came closer. Comoros's body froze for a moment, then relaxed. He stood up and looked at the handsome young man in front of him. The young man's appearance was similar to his own, and his bloodline seemed to have cleared Comoros's mind a bit.
"I didn't think it would be you" Comoros seemed to have completely let go of himself, his face was filled with an evil smile: "Is this … that Sir's bad taste?"
"I just happened to have some free time" Noah calmly replied. Even though he knew the relationship between him and the man in front of him, even though he knew what was going to happen next, he didn't show any emotion.
Comoros's heart was cold. In the end, he was still the same cowardly brat, even now, he didn't dare to call that Sir's name. He suddenly felt like he had returned to a time 10 years ago.
He was holding a bow in his hand, facing the crows trapped in the net. Uncle Dax was lying on the ground with black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, madly shouting at him to kill the crows. He mustered his courage and prepared to shoot.
But the next moment, the fishing net was torn apart. The man, no, the demon walked out from the crow's nest, evil and ominous. Just seeing this person's figure caused Comoros's courage to run out.
"What exactly do you want from me!!" Comoros shouted in a frenzy: "I can't even resist in my dreams, I can't even try to think about it!?"
"Foolish man, didn't you already offer your forehead to me? Then why are you still afraid of me? " Wang Yuan had a wanton smile on his face, standing among the corpses, he exuded a twisted sense of beauty that gave Wang Yuan an indescribable charm.
It was also this charm that made so many people submit to him, be it the Cauchy people, the Kent people, the mercenaries, the merchants, even the adventurers, or even the priests with faith, none of them could escape the fate of being controlled by this existence.
The more that was the case, the more Comoros felt pain and madness. Because it was him who brought this demon out of the wilderness and spread it to the Cauchy people. It was also him who caused Comoros to be completely isolated, turned into a lone leader, and even turned into an experimental subject that could be slaughtered by anyone.
"You are too foolish, Comoros" Wang Yuan walked step by step closer to Comoros: "If you're in so much pain and frustration, then let go of the things that don't matter, whether it's your morals or your emotions, choose to completely submit to me. That way, everything that's troubling you will become meaningless"
Wang Yuan stood in front of Comoros and reached his hand out: "Tell me your choice, Comoros. The merciful me has removed all other choices for you, so no matter what you choose, you will not feel pain"
"Ahahahaha!" Looking at Wang Yuan's outstretched hand, Comoros laughed maniacally. Just as Wang Yuan said, he had been forced into a dead end.
As he walked forward, the illusion left him. The one in front of him was no longer Wang Yuan, but Noah, his younger brother Noah.
"Little brother, if you can, please apologize to father for me!" Comoros hugged Noah and said his final words. At this moment, he was no longer afraid.
As the sharp blade pierced through his heart, Noah expressionlessly pushed Comoros's body away. Following God's teachings, he collected the golden blood that flowed out from Comoros's heart, then turned to the Crowmen outside: "Wanted criminal Chris Modo, crime: Killed former leader Comoros"
