Chapter 197: A Full Moon (6)
The beautiful trajectory of the sword illuminated the dark alley. In that golden waterfall of light, was a cluster of twinkling stars, as if the Milky Way had been torn off in its entirety and pasted there.
For some reason, that twinkling felt like something close to the life force, soul, or essence of the Golden Reaper. Maybe that was why the Golden Reaper, who was covered in a gentle flame all over his body, faded more and more as time passed.
The fading Golden Reaper did not hop around splendidly using the terrain and walls of the alley like before. It simply swung its sword, which was much larger than its own body, silently and repeatedly.
The group of murderers was overwhelmed with joy, but it was extremely concerning for the student. At first glance, its two legs stood straight, looking all fine, but upon closer inspection, they were definitely not.
The Golden Reaper’s feet, still firmly rooted to the ground, were shaking slightly as if they had lost their strength. It was clear that it was going to collapse at any moment, but it clenched its teeth and held on.
It wasn’t that he chose not to do the 3D maneuvers anymore, more so it couldn’t because it didn’t have enough energy left. So the Golden Reaper did not bother eliminating enemies with minimal sword strikes, and instead, enlarged its sword to eliminate enemies without needing to move.
The brilliant and overwhelming trajectory was enough to intimidate the murderers. But the price of such brilliant sword strikes was steadily accumulating. Its body slowly became transparent with each swing, pieces and fragments falling off and scattering.
“Just run away. Even if you help me like this, there’s no hope for me anyway.”
The student repeated, feeling a little sad about the Golden Reaper’s pointless devotion. It was all useless after all. But the Golden Reaper only responded to him with a happy smile, as if it was happy just by swinging its sword for him.
The student who saw that smile could no longer open his mouth. It was because he felt the emotions of the Golden Reaper.
Considering that he was cured of the strange problem he suffered from because of this series of events and accidents, he made a short wish for the Golden Reaper in his heart.
May this kind Golden Reaper survive.
He prayed that the Golden Reaper would not waste its life on meaningless things.
May this wish reach God and come true.
