Chapter 514 - 442: A Hero in Life, A Great Man in Death (Added Double Update)_2
Hero Baird, at this moment, raged like a wounded lion.
Kars was once again stunned, for in Baird at this moment, he seemed to see the hero of the past who had gambled with the divine.
Baird vowed to leave the Netherworld, to find the one he loved, and for this, he was willing to pay any price.
Kars shared Baird’s thoughts, unsettled by them, and he advised Baird to enjoy the prosperity of the Great Plain, but his words were merely futile and ineffective counsel.
As Baird gradually regained his old consciousness, he issued an ultimatum to Kars,
"Kars, forgive me for abandoning our past friendship.
I must ask you, do you intend to stop me from leaving the Netherworld?
Regardless of what you say, I still intend to leave this place. I have devoted my life to my love; she has become the meaning of my entire life. Apart from her, nothing else can make me feel happiness.
I now yearn to return to the Mortal World, not because I pine for past glories—which indeed once brought me joy—but because they have all become ephemeral and insubstantial.
Whatever you plan to do, Kars, I beg of you not to stop me."
The poetic words of Baird deeply shook Kars, and as his friend, Kars ultimately gave up on stopping Baird and, under Baird’s persuasion, decided to lend a hand.
