Chapter 61

"Then, Jason, where do you plan to go?" Smick Lancher asked in a low voice.

In front of him, Jason Todd was wearing a long robe, and he was silent.

Hearing Smick's words, Jason reached his hand out. Smick's slash, strictly speaking, saved his life, but it also pushed him into a certain abyss.

Jason's hand was already covered in livor mortis, he could feel that his body was slowly dying and rotting away.

His breathing had stopped, his heart was no longer beating, but he was still alive.

"This place is no longer safe, Negri's subordinates are searching for us everywhere, we've completely failed this time" Smick's expression was a bit blank. Although he lost out of the blue, a loss was a loss.

"How about you come back with me? You want revenge, and with your current state, I'm sure the Kingdom of Royas will have a solution" Smick continued.

"No need, I've always been a person who only exists for revenge, I'm not dissatisfied with my current state" Jason finally spoke up. He stood up, his body trembling a bit: "I want to go to a certain place, to obtain the power for my revenge"

This time, he was completely suppressed by the enemy, and in the battle against Negary, he wasn't able to be of any use at all. Jason deeply recognized his own weakness, and he needed to become even stronger.

A few years ago, he gave up on that chance because the success rate of that thing wasn't high enough, failure meant death. For the sake of revenge, he chose to give it up. And now, he wanted to pursue that thing again, also for the sake of revenge.

"Please arrange a House-beast for me, I want to get to a certain place before my body completely rots away" Jason solemnly said.

"No problem" Smick replied. Smick said. He also felt a little guilty about Jason's current state. Looking at the machete in his hand, his eyes inadvertently flashed with a golden light.

On the other side, Luen Donner had also found Rivers who had just recovered a bit and told him the tragic news. Myerson had betrayed them, Cardinal Augustin and the others were all dead, they were the only reinforcements left from the Church of Divine Grace.

"Find Isabella and her daughter, we need to return to Interkam as soon as possible. Negri, this Evil Spirit must be restrained!" Luen looked sad. This experience would probably affect him for the rest of his life. "Where is Grosk?"

「 I'm not sure, I was already here when I woke up 」 Rivers replied in a heavy voice.

"Please come with me, Negri's subordinates are currently using the excuse of searching for fugitives to clean up various factions. If we don't leave now, we really won't be able to" Grosk hurried over: "Isabella and her daughter are at my place"

Grosk brought the two of them to his secret hideout. A carriage had already been prepared there, and Isabella and her daughter were already on it. After ordering the guards to escort them away from Reya, Grosk chose to stay behind alone, saying that he had something to take care of.

Watching the carriage leave, Grosk sighed. On one side, Yadley, whose face was covered in scales, stepped forward with an ugly smile on his face: "Very well, Grosk, you made the right choice"

"Leave the tentacle in your heart there. Don't worry, it won't take your life, as long as you keep your mouth shut" Yadley said, watching the carriage that had already disappeared from sight, a hint of thought flashed through his eyes.

Originally, Lord Negri had Nala in his grasp, but this time, he voluntarily allowed the people of the Church of Divine Grace to take Nala away. It seemed like the Church of Divine Grace would never have a day of peace again. Yadley smiled, unbeknownst to himself, a golden gleam flashed through his eyes.

Sitting on the carriage, Nala's eyes also flashed with a golden gleam.

Everything seemed to have been decided, Negri had completely won this battle. However, after this battle, the number of people who saw Negri gradually decreased, as the forces of Reystromia were completely wiped out by the Ghostmen.

A large number of forces were either subdued or defeated, Reya, which was slowly slipping away from their control, once again returned to the Cauchy people's hands. More accurately, it returned to Negri's hands.

Smick successfully returned to the Kingdom of Royas. This time, the operation against Reya had failed, so he was punished. Inside the Lancher family, there were also people who objected to the proposal for him to become the next Patriarch.

Smick was sitting in his study with the scimitar hanging on his waist. He sighed. To preserve his position as the future Patriarch, his father had arranged a marriage for him. His future would most likely be as a knight of the Lancher family, not as a military man like Smick.

What worried him even more was his body that had already surpassed the limits of humanity. As he glanced at the scimitar hanging on his waist, he naturally understood why. Although the evil will hadn't appeared even once, he still had an ominous feeling about it.

On the other side, Jason was completely wrapped in a cloak that gave off a foul stench. His movements had become extremely slow as he approached a canyon. This was the headquarters of Sacred Valley.

The so-called Sacred Valley was a group of mysterious Assassins. For the sake of a certain ideal, they trained their killing techniques and searched the world for something, and Jason was once a member of this organization.

"Why did you return?" a voice resounded from inside the canyon.

Jason took off his cloak, revealing his body that had rotted beyond recognition and answered with a hoarse voice: "For the sake of revenge, I had no other choice"

"May life watch over me!"

…

"The political situation has changed, it's best if no one knows of your existence" Due to the side effects of the Grace of Sacrifice, Rivers could no longer fight, so he retired from his position as a Knight of Divine Grace.

He brought a set of male clothing to Nala and spoke with a serious expression: "You're still young, you can disguise yourself as a boy for now, I'll teach you how to fight. Although your constitution isn't suitable for the Grace of God, with Chris's [Respiratory Art], you'll definitely become a powerful warrior"

"Understood, mister Rivers, I'll train well" Nala nodded.

"Also, in a few days, I'll need to make a trip to Tarroy" Rivers sighed and said. Tarroy was a small country on the other side of Interkam.

"Hm?" Nala looked at Rivers doubtfully.

Rivers was carrying a suitcase filled with various items, including medals, bones of certain beasts, all of which were souvenirs. Rivers explained: "These are mister Chris's belongings, Tarroy is mister Chris's hometown, he also has a son who's about the same age as you, I need to give these things to him"
