Chapter 327: Raging Blade
In the sixteenth year, your injuries recovered and you began to move towards the heavens.
But at this time, the high-ranking officials of the GBL Church and the Empire's hunting troops found you. Looking at Ophelia wearing the uniform of the Inquisitor, you were silent for a moment and chose to escape.
Ophelia pursued you relentlessly because she felt that it was she who brought you into the GBL cult, which led to the tragedy.
However, as she was chasing you, Alice appeared beside her.
Then inexplicably, Ophelia began to slow down her pace in chasing you, and you got a chance to catch your breath.
In the same month, Held appeared next to you again. After examining your body, she handed you a purple ball.
"Your body is becoming more stable, but this is not enough. You need more strength. These are the powers of Hellux. Please absorb them."
She looks at you, with an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes.
You took the purple ball from her hand without hesitation and swallowed it.
Held was about to leave, but you suddenly spoke up.
"Is Kahn still the person you chose in the end?"
You know, Held's plan is to sacrifice all the apostles to achieve the way of Genesis, because once die, they can bring new changes to the demon world.
At that time, as long as she and Kahn can take control of everything, Terra will be able to return to its original state.
"Don't you know everything?"
"People who know everything will also be flustered and worried. Can you at least have a drink with me? After all, although you are my savior, I still have to help you."
Are you calm? You just feel speechless that Held didn't choose you as the last person to survive, but you also know that without Held giving you strength, you would have died long ago. The collapse of your body is irreversible, because from the excessive use of strength, when you protected Kelly from Seghart, your life was already under the scythe of the god of death at any time.
Every second of life is actually a miracle. Without your innate vitality to control your body and restrain your raging blood, you would have died long ago.
But even so, given your body and condition, it wouldn't be surprising if you died in the next second.
It was not until Held showed up and gave you the power of an apostle that you were freed from the danger of sudden death at any time.
But this time Held was silent. She looked at you, and you took out the jewelry you bought for her and waved it in front of her.
"This time it's the Principality style."
Held was silent for a moment.
"I prefer the dark elf style because..."
You could tell she wanted to say something but held it back, you were curious but Held had no intention of saying anything more.
She went to drink with you, and after drinking for a while, you looked at her body and teased her unintentionally.
"If I could be with a virtuous and determined beauty like you, I would be willing to die, right? That's strange, have you never had any suitors?"
Held looked at you for a while, then turned his head away in silence.
"Yes, but they are all dead."
"When did it happen?"
"It happened a long, long time ago."
A very strange thing happened. After Held took out a bottle of wine, you fell drunk. When you woke up, you found a hooded woman playing the piano next to you, which made you feel very noisy.
When you looked over, you recognized her at first sight by her smooth and white thighs.
"Alice?"
"It's me. I have to marvel that someone like you was thrown out because you had no money to pay for the drinks. I'll take these jewels as payment on your behalf."
Alice waved the jewelry of the Principality of Belmar in her hand at you, then stood up and walked forward.
"Come on, I need your help with something."
You touched your body to check if you were not flirted with by the other party, but you found that the dark elf jewelry on you also disappeared. You didn't care, but chased after him.
You and Alice went to the Empire, and she acted as a guarantor to help you get the Empire's wanted list removed, and helped you kill the superior of the Imperial official who had killed your parents.
Then, she took you away and started heading towards the heaven .
During this period, countless people also flocked to the Heaven Realm, because the Heaven Realm was a new continent and was in great need of people's help. For adventurers, this undoubtedly represented a way to make money.
You looked for Kelly once before you left, and her crying in the middle of the night almost caused people to call the police.
The next day, when she knew you were going to heaven, she paused for a moment, followed by a long silence.
"You're not coming back?"
She said so.
"That should be possible, right?"
"So you can't come back?"
“…”
You can't make any guarantees, because you know very well that your deal with Held will end when you kill the last non-Kahn apostle.
There is a high probability that she will do something to you, and from the very beginning, you have no right to choose anything.
Accepting Held's power would make you her puppet.
If you don't accept Held's power, you will die soon.
They are all dead ends, you just chose the one that is most free and allows you to enjoy the beautiful things in the world. And face your inevitable demise with an optimistic and proactive attitude.
"People will die eventually."
You patted Kelly's head and left.
On the day you left, you saw Kelly coming to see you off. You waved at her and smiled, but accidentally hit the head of a man who was also leaving.
The man took one look at you and thought you were rude at first, but at the second glance, he felt you were a very kind person.
So he smiled and held out his hand to you.
"Hello, my name is Krent."
That's what he said.
You threw him off the airship in two seconds, and Minette, who was standing silently behind you, had no idea what was wrong with you.
That night, you spent the night in Minette's room, and early in the morning, you were dizzy by Alice's piano playing.
You expressed your displeasure with her.
But Alice just looked at you with disdain.
You arrived in the heaven and immediately disappeared. Because the relationship between GBL and the heaven was very good, you could only wait for Alice to come back and cook for you every day.
You couldn't help but start swearing and cooking for Alice.
Because Alice's cooking is terrible.
"A world-renowned bard is such a bad cook?!"
"I am a scholar, a magician, and a bard, but I am not a cook!"
"Yes, yes, so let me do it from now on, you kitchen idiot."
You patted Alice's thigh. She didn't say anything, but just walked away in silence, looking angry.
