Chapter 6: The Lost Soul

On that day, the sky was filled with crimson lead clouds, as if they were about to weigh on people's nerves. The ancient Lost Forest has lost its former haze, and is exceptionally clear as far as the eye can see. It would be a great gift if the Lost Forest was relieved of its former defenses because of this, but I know very well that the reason why the Lost Forest is called the Lost Forest is not because of its fog, but because of its own mist-like abilities.

Before the Red Dragon's invasion, Belice transferred the main force of the Rain and Mist Elves, and most of the elves guarding the village were old or young, and in order to be able to control me, they pretended to protect me but actually put me under house arrest. But it was all expected by me, and I had already planned it well.

When the red dragon attacked, the air was filled with the smell of fire, which made the elves very impatient. I'm glad that there was such a windfall, which made my escape plan more likely to succeed. Using the materials I obtained from Eve, I made a powerful * in advance, and then I tricked the elves who guarded me in and brought them all down.

After escaping from the elven village, I followed the map I had surveyed and walked towards the lava crater. Most of the volcanoes in this world are connected to Hell, especially this super volcano, so once I get there, I have a high chance of returning to the underworld.

It's just that...... As I approached the lava volcano, in addition to seeing the huge body of the red dragon, more than that, the defeated elves were scattered like dust, and their leader Belise was covered in blood, trembling, and seriously injured.

Why didn't Bellis use "Dragon Spirit Split"? Did I overestimate her sacrifice to her daughter, or did she choose someone else? Before I could think about it any more, a thunderclap sounded in the distant sky. I saw a young elf girl holding a magical crystal ball, intently chanting the incantation of "Dragon Spirit Split".

It's really damn it, it's a thousand calculations, but it ignores one of the most obvious problems, that is, the rain mist elves are simply a race that can't hold up the wall with mud. All logical deductions are based on habit and experience, and it can be said that logic itself is experience. In my past, I have seen thousands of races, but whether they are wise and brave, selfish and cowardly, they will have a conditioned reflex when facing a racial crisis, that is, they will resist desperately until they realize that they can't resist. But the race of rain and mist elves can remain unchanged for millions of years, and the invasion of the red dragon by such a race has long been numb, how to make them effectively organize to resist? Anyway, it is the princess who is sacrificed, and it is not their child, why go up to fight against an opponent who cannot be challenged. No one will sincerely work hard for this mother and daughter, and Belice can only find a way to make Eve, who is already the most talented, chant incantations in a timely manner, and then sacrifice her life to buy time for Belis.

Now, it's too late!

As the chanting of the incantation ended, the red dragon's body was full of cracks, shooting out a brilliant red light, and the dragon soul was also wailing in grief. But Eve's body was also disappearing piece by piece, and the blazing soul fire devoured her soul bit by bit. Suddenly, she smiled back at my place, her lips slightly open as if she were saying something.

Jiang Zhiyong is incomprehensible. If there is an afterlife, can I still listen to you tell the story?

The dust from the burning of my soul was also scattered in the air, and I gently caught the falling brass bell with both hands, as if Eve's laughter still echoed in my ears.

Am I missing something? Yes, I am missing the most important person in my life. I thought that I had fallen into a demon, and I had long since stopped believing in the human world, until this moment, the beautiful picture of Eve and me with me kept flashing in my mind, and I realized that it was not that there was no true love in the world, but that I had not cherished it.

A mouthful of soul blood spurted out, and the wounds that had been healed were once again scattered over the soul at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, which was the backlash of the soul contract between me and Eve. It is often said that those who count people will always count it, but now I have counted myself into it, and I will eventually suffer the consequences.

With Eve's brass bell and extremely heavy wounds, I moved towards the lava crater step by step, and soon the huge sinkhole appeared in front of me, because of the trance, the crater at this time was like the blood basin of the demon trying to open up, and it was about to swallow me one by one.

A refreshing feeling spread throughout my body, and the heart-rending feeling almost disappeared, and while the mental power gradually concentrated, I could feel the crack in my soul repairing quickly, and then I saw the blood-stained Belliss supporting my arm, if I guessed correctly, the coolness should be the "miracle medicine".

"Why did you want her to chant that broken incantation, didn't you know she was going to die for it?" I growled, knowingly reproaching Belis.

"I can't help it, I know she probably won't be able to take it, but if she doesn't, she won't even have a chance of surviving. Tears welled up in the corners of Belis's eyes, and it was clear that she had taken it all as her fault.

What can I say about her? She was not wrong at all, it was me who was wrong from beginning to end, it was me who lived in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and it was my calculation that led to this end, and it was all retribution! I let go of Belis's hand and was about to jump into the crater.

"Phil. Belice grabbed me, looked at the bell in my hand, and sobbed, "Eve said she wanted to go to the outside world with you, can you always take her with you? ”

"You don't need your soul. I gently flicked her palm away and jumped into the lava.

Some people say that life is like stepping on a tightrope, with animal nature on one side and divinity on the other. So people like me, who are unloved, who live in a sinful world all day long, and who constantly kill innocent people in order to survive, are probably just beasts. But just like the night chasing the light, the deeper my roots go into the dark underground, the more I yearn for the beauty under the sun.

It's not easy to find someone who loves you in the vast sea of people, and Eve is the only one who loves me unconditionally, so I can't accept her death, no matter what the price is, I will definitely let her come back, even if I can only meet each other and say a word of greeting.
