"Father......" Hearing this word, Allen's heart tightened, and he was instantly stunned.

Alan couldn't believe his ears...... The man standing across from Arn, who was holding Arn's neck with both hands and trying to kill him, turned out to be his father......

"You ......" the man's voice trembled, but it revealed a trace of firmness: "Maybe your birth ...... It was a mistake!"

With that, the hands suddenly slammed into force, snuffing out Arn's last hope of survival......

I saw that Arn's hand suddenly let go of the other party's hand, and then hung down weakly, and his head was tilted to the side.

He's dead......

The picture is all cut off at this point. Alan only felt as if he had been slapped heavily on his head, and he felt dizzy for a while, and his vision began to blur. By the time he saw the scene again, he had already returned to the real world.

Somehow, he just felt heavy in his chest, like a boulder pressing down, and he was a little out of breath. Immediately afterward, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees.

He could never have imagined that one day he would witness a father kill his own son......

But that's not all, what also shocked Alan was that just one second after the screen was cut, after the hands were released, he saw a pair of familiar eyes......

Although it was only for a short moment, it still felt extremely familiar to Allen.

"Who is it?" Allen's head sank, and he couldn't remember for a moment.

His mind was in a mess, and his surprise and confusion made him almost unable to think. Regardless of whose familiar eyes were, the last thing he saw was already incomprehensible...... Everything he had seen before was supposed to be Arne Burresto's memory, but if that was the case, there would be an unexplainable question - since Burrestu was dead, who was the person he was talking to now?

"Is it a trap?" Alan created a stream of water, drenching himself from head to toe, trying to sober himself up.

"Perhaps these so-called memories were fake from the start...... Is it a well-laid trap?" he tried to analyze calmly.

But when he thought back to what had happened recently, his intuition was strong, and he was told that it was all real.

The objective and rational analysis clashed violently with his own intuition, and this extremely contradictory feeling made Alan a little uncomfortable and a little inexplicably panicked.

The magic that bound Ivan didn't know when it had been unraveled, and he was walking towards Eren step by step.

"He's really...... Your father?" though he knew that it was extremely stupid to try to get the right information from the enemy, Alan couldn't help but open his mouth.

"That's right...... My biological father. Ivan looked calm, but it was a slightly numbing calm.

"But...... You ......" Alan didn't know how to express the doubt in his heart for a while, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Did he really kill you?"

Ivan stopped when he heard this, and stood a few meters away from Allen.

"Why......" Seeing that Ivan didn't speak, Alan asked again, "Why did he do this?"

"Don't you know everything that happened in this school fifteen years ago?" Ivan opened his mouth after a moment of silence, but did not answer Alan's previous question.

"He decided I was wrong...... He said I shouldn't have done that...... It's all my ...... to blame," Ivan muttered, his face hard to hide his loss, "he even ...... denied my existence......"

Some of Allen's initial guesses were confirmed, but at this point he didn't care about them at all......

"Huh...... Have you ever experienced this despair?" Ivan said after a pause, "this despair of being abandoned by his own father...... The taste of not being understood, being abandoned and denied by the only loved ones......"

Hearing this, Allen's heart couldn't help but feel a pang of pain...... This sentence was like a knife, piercing him fiercely into his heart......

How could he not have experienced it...... Although it is not exactly the same, this similar mood has been tasted every day since he was sensible......

He hadn't seen his parents since he opened his eyes, and he hadn't received any greetings from them in fifteen years. It was as if they had just left him at Connor's house and walked away, completely oblivious to having such a child as him. Although Mr. and Mrs. Connor treated him as their own, he could clearly tell that it was a completely different feeling.

There are always things in this world that are unique and irreplaceable, and no matter how much other things give, they can't fill this gap.

Although he tried to comfort himself as much as he could, and maybe they had something unspeakable, it was impossible to say that there was no trace of resentment, especially with this feeling of abandonment......

Thinking of this, Alan suddenly felt that something was quietly spreading in his heart, and something that was only vaguely noticed before suddenly burned wildly, as if it was originally just a little fire, and suddenly turned into a raging fire.

"Huh...... This resentment in your heart......" Ivan suddenly laughed, "Sure enough, you have a similar experience......"

"It can't go on like this...... He's deliberately guiding me!" Alan suddenly understood why Ivan was so generous in allowing himself to peek into his memory.

He quickly got up from the ground, took a few deep breaths to calm his mind as much as he could, and then whispered the incantation.

The electric light gathered, brighter than the previous ones, and even a little harsh. With a flick of his wand, the lightning bolts "clawed" like a hand, but unlike the five fingers, the lightning bolts were densely packed into dozens of paths, leaving no room for the target to escape.

"Crack...... Smack......"

Although the power is not as powerful as the previous fire element magic, due to the fast casting speed of this magic, Ivan should not have time to use the starlight flash to dodge, and the most priority choice should be to use "dark" for defense. And once he used "Dark", some of these lightning bolts should hit without any problems, because after so much time, those evil thoughts should have been purified again.

But to Allen's surprise, these dense dozens of lightning bolts were all absorbed by the layer of "dark shield" without exception......

"How can this be......" Alan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Huh...... It seems that your constitution is only like that......" Ivan's voice came faintly from within, "Even if you can produce light, where there is light, there will be shadows...... There will always be corners where the light can't shine......"

Alan couldn't help but panic...... It feels like you've fallen into a trap......

He tried to use the Wind Blade again, but all those sharp blades disappeared into the "darkness", and there was no follow-up.

"Don't struggle anymore...... Ivan's opening a gap in this "darkness" to reveal his eerie eyes, "Your heart is no longer as bright as it used to be...... Get ready to be consumed by darkness......"
