Chapter 20: The Slaughter Begins! (Ask for a recommendation ticket!) Ask for a review! )
The inheritance ceremony of the Arcana family begins tomorrow!
This ceremony is the grandest and most meaningful event for the whole family!
The whole family has been preparing for this grand event for a full year.
The teenagers, who had been honored to be elected as candidates for succession, fell asleep in the silence of the night with a long-lasting excitement that could not be calmed down.
However, the killing machine is hidden in the silent night. A figure, like a ghost, quietly sneaked into the sleeping boy's room, and stabbed the magic sword in his hand at the sleeping boy without hesitation.
The sharp magic sword pierces the heart of the sleeping boy with incredible precision!
The sleeping boy fell into eternal sleep without any pain, and did not have to face the tragic fate he was about to face!
One, two, three......
The ghostly figure ran through the Arcana family's home, and one by one the candidates were killed.
In the end, only Luna remained.
The cold Cain, like a shadow, wandered silently in the family.
However, the Ghost Slayer's footsteps suddenly became extremely heavy.
Younger sister...... Am I really going to kill my sister? Kain's heart, hard as steel, wavered for the first time.
Kain had killed all of his targets, and now he returned to the beginning of his killing journey: home.
At home sleeps his most beloved sister, the sister who always looks up to him with adoring eyes, the kind-hearted sister, and the blue eyes are the purest crystals in the world!
However, he still has to kill her with his own hands after all!
Cain's steps were heavy.
He stepped up the stairs on the second floor. As children, the two of them used to play in each other's bedrooms, and since they learned about the scandal covered up by their family, they have never been to Luna's room again, and in fact, they have never smiled at Luna again.
The wound and loss in Luna's eyes pierced his heart like a sharp blade.
Countless times, he wanted to give up resisting this ugly curse because of Luna's eyes, but reason eventually prevailed over emotion.
I'm a fighter!
I'm a good fighter!
I want to put an end to the evil of my family! I want to eradicate all the evil in the world!
Cain placed his hand on Luna's door, hesitated. Finally, he gritted his teeth and gently pushed the door open: the lights were on, and Luna hadn't slept yet!
At this moment, she is carefully wiping the things in her hands, her movements are gentle and gentle, and she has a gentle smile on her face.
The sound of the door opening was almost inaudible, but Luna was keenly aware of it, after all, Luna was the best warrior in the Arcana family besides Cain!
"Who's where!" Luna alertly pulls out the Radiant Moon Sword she carries with her!
The blue light illuminated the figure in the shadows, and as soon as Luna saw the person who came, she immediately put down the Huiyue Sword, stood up in surprise, and exclaimed softly, "Brother?!" What are you doing here? You ......"
Luna caught a glimpse of the magic sword Cain held in his hand, and the bloody stain on Kain's chest that was stained red with the blood of countless people, and cried out with joy, but abruptly stopped.
Cain took a breath, gritted his teeth, and forced himself to say in the coldest voice, "Raise your Huiyue Sword!" ”
"Why?" Luna's eyes are so pure, like a lake deep in the forest that is untouched on an autumn day.
"Because, I'm going to kill you!"
Luna smiled slightly, and said with relief, "My life was saved by my brother, you can take it at any time." I will never draw my sword against you. ”
“…… Our parents, Grandma Abby, Aunt March, Brother Ned...... All these people you know, I killed them! Cain said coldly.
In order to avoid the reincarnation of tragedy, simply cut off all possibilities!
Luna covers her mouth in surprise! Looking at Cain in horror, after a while, she asked faintly, "Why?" ”
Cain, who had been carrying the family secret for two years, finally couldn't hold back anymore at this moment to his beloved sister, and roared half-with a roar: "Because of the power of miracles! ”
"Then you only need to win tomorrow to get it, so why kill them today? You know, no one can beat you, and the power of miracles is clearly in your pocket! Why do you want to kill irrelevant people?! Luna asked in a calm tone.
Brother Cain wasn't the kind of tyrannical person, and he certainly had a reason for doing so. Luna was convinced.
"Because we are simply sacrifices of miraculous powers! The so-called supreme succession ritual is nothing more than all the heirs killing each other, and then the winner will absorb the fragments of miracle power in the bodies of all the dead and rule the will of the last person! ”
"At that time, we will be in pain and fall into the abyss from which we will never recover!"
"The elders of our family are fully aware of this matter, which is why they are secretive!"
"The power of miracles is too strong, it will greatly deplete people's spiritual power, and when the person who bears the power of miracles dies, the power of miracles will again enter the juvenile body of the new generation of the Arcana family in the form of fragments, this is the so-called candidate!"
"All this is a huge and ugly conspiracy!" Cain's hoarse roar!
This secret has been pressed on him for too long, too heavy, and at this moment he finally broke out! He covered his face with trembling hands and bent down! The smell of blood on his hands is strong, but this blood does not come from the enemy, but from his own people! The smell of sin made Kain almost vomit.
Luna listened quietly, then stood up and walked over to Kain, gently holding Kain's slightly stiff body in her arms.
"Brother! Thank you for your hard work! You are carrying such a heavy mission! Kill me! I'm willing to die by your sword," Luna whispered, gently stroking Cain's back.
"Raise your Radiant Moon Sword!" Kain gritted his teeth and pushed away the tenderness in his arms! Yes! In this life, there will never be such a tender moment again!
"Brother, I will never use my sword against you." Luna said softly but firmly.
Cain looked at Luna, the pliable and stubborn sister, and after a while, he put down his sword.
"Brother?" Luna, who closes her eyes and prepares to receive her death in peace, opens her eyes because she did not wait for the expected death.
There was no one in front of him.
Brother Cain didn't know when he had quietly disappeared.
Luna is the only one left.
Quietly looking at the hidden door, there was still the smell of Cain's brother in the room.
Standing for a long time, Luna sat back on her bed and picked up what she had carefully wiped before Cain came in.
It's a belt, a belt specially made for rare mines from the Arctic Cold.
This was originally intended to be given to Cain's brother as a celebratory gift after the Inheritance Ceremony was completed.
After wiping it clean, Luna ties the belt around her waist.
You can't let Brother Cain bear this curse alone, you have to hide in the sky, and I will find you!
Picking up the Radiant Moon Sword, Luna left the home where she had lived for sixteen years without looking back.
Without Cain's brother's home, it is not a home.
Wherever Cain's brother is, home is there.
