Chapter 997: The Curse.
Fortunately, it wasn’t Heavenly Eye who replied. Sword Maestro explained to them, "Before Black Chains left in defeat, he cursed the dragon. He used the death of his five avatars as materials to curse the dragon to death."From the look of things, it is working. Instead of rewarding him for saving it, the will of the world is doing its best to kill him.
Hearing this, Tepid Scholar scoffed and said, "His curse is more than working. Not only will the dragon die, but I will also get back my Forging Pathway. What more can anyone ask for before they can count something as a success?"
Heavenly Eye, shaking her head, said, "This is just like Black Chains to pull off a comeback. It seems in this war with the dragon, he will have the last laugh."
The more Martial Will heard, the more he understood what was going on. But the angrier he also became.
He didn’t seem to like them praising Black Chains. So after a while, he had to interrupt them.
"First of all," Martial Will began. "Using curses and killing an enemy with another person’s hands is lame. It is a coward’s way to fight."
"Secondly, even if he won in the end, it would be at what cost? He would have lost five pathways just to kill one Rank 9 Dao Initiate. What kind of victory is that? Is it a boring and pitiful victory if you ask me?"
Sword Maestro interjected, saying, "No one asked you."
Heavenly Eye added, "You also lost to this Rank 9 Dao Initiate, so maybe you’re pitiful too."
Martial Will ignored them and continued, "Thirdly, the dragon won’t lose. So he would have made all of that sacrifice and schemed for nothing."
When Tepid Scholar heard this, he chuckled in amusement and said, "And why do you think the dragon won’t lose? Even he thinks he will lose. His mind reeks of his fear and anxiety right now."
Martial Will, with certainty and stubbornness, replied, "It is just a feeling. I don’t believe that someone who could defeat me could be defeated so easily."
"How is this an easy defeat?"Tepid Scholar asked in amusement.
Just in case Martial Will didn’t understand, he explained, saying, "Five avatars died to mobilize the power of the whole Blessed Heaven World. I even had to lend my power to the will of the world. How is this an easy defeat?"
When Martial Will heard this, his will began to waver. In a voice full of hesitation and uncertainty, he said, "Maybe you have a point. Maybe the dragon will be..."
Just as he said that, the dragon exploded.
The dragon shattered, and so did everything around it. The rules that bound the dragon were also destroyed, so the dragon was now safe. But it was too late. After all, the dragon was now dead.
Seeing this, Martial Will nodded in satisfaction and said, "That’s a good way to go out. To go out with a bang is how brave men fight."
Then he said to Tepid Scholar, "I hate to admit it, but it seems you were right."
