Chapter 537: Lin Yao, The Lost Harmony’s dan tian.
Darkness engulfed his thoughts, making them sluggish as icy winds blew on his trembling spectral frame.
’It knows I have the cleaver! I’m dead! Everyone will die, too! Is this the end of our path after fifteen years of hardships? After Earth defied fate and the few survivors reincarnated in a foreign world?’
The question haunted him, painfully prickling his soul as Julius’ smiling face and rightful posture appeared amidst his darkening thoughts. Then, Nova suddenly joined him, her cat’s paws touching her cheerful and warm smile. Arun followed, his arms crossed over his chest in a posture oozing arrogance. Yet his eyes spoke of loyalty and friendship.
His paralysed fists trembled as a desperate scream pierced through his mind.
’I-I vowed to protect them. Take the cleaver and kill me, but don’t let harm befall them!’
However, good intentions weren’t enough. Wishing for happiness and safety wasn’t enough either.
He had known it ever since he woke up in Alina’s house.
’Power! That’s what I need most right now. We might survive if I sacrifice my ambition!’
Gritting his teeth and using the last bit of mental strength before falling unconscious, he closed his eyes to enter his soul sea. A warm embrace enveloped him, yet he didn’t feel the familiar sensation of displacement. Instead, he heard horrifying cracks reverberate around him. Mana roared in his ears, engulfing him before he could reopen his eyes or understand what was happening.
Breath ragged and chest heaving painfully in horror, they snapped open the next second as he already pictured himself standing on the creature’s hand and facing its colossal form.
Pain assaulted his head next as he huffed and collapsed, the verdant plain’s healthy grass caressing his back. A gentle breeze ruffled the golden mist wafting from his form, the scent of nature a soothing balm to his batter mind. The distant sound of calm water registered next, and the long shadow cast by the silver fruit tree registered in his eyes.
