Chapter 655: Long Haochen’s choice (III)
“For the sake of reaching the ninth step as early as possible to take Fulo as lory to the e trip But never did I expect that because of the great gains in this trip, the incohtradually side his fury, his intense soul fluctuations caused repeated shakes of the Tower of Eternity
“After leaving the eh the whole continent With hth step, I encountered al thole years, I wandered through al all the local conditions and custo the joys and the sorrows of the world The scope of ress And, ht, I had a lot of happy encounters in these two years, and acquired a ht
“When I returned to the ehth step Upon seeing Fulo again, I couldn’t help but take her infroe of the ninth step, only at one step froh, and believed that I would be able to marry my most beloved Fulo in the near future, as well as to inevitably becoreatest powerhouse of the empire
“At that time, I had almost no notion of sche these two years of training, to share the feelings I had during these htly displeasing happened to me later: the son of the Supreic Acadee: why he would come there? Compared to our Pombo Empire, the Glorious Church should have reached even deeper levels of ic researches, so he had no need at all to coive it e ofabout reat interest toward thatthat I could hand it over for her to learn, but I rejected her That martial technique was certainly miraculous, but it could by no reat cost, and I feared she would get wounded in the process
“Do you knohat kind of martial technique that was? Even now, I still find it to be really h it was just a move, it required a perfect harmonization with the owner’s soul to be executed It seemed to come from an ancient tribe from another world A type of Martial Soul Technique, this technique had a very strange name: it was called Tortoiseshell Technique
“When I had just obtained it, I still took it to be just a defensive martial art, but after deep researches, I found out that it had almost no relations with defense, but was an ability of prediction Back then, the Glorious Church was the only other entity in the whole continent to have a prophet I also have so of it: all they can predict is the future As for that martial technique, its use would execute a kind of divination, with a really overbearing aspect: its unconditionality Launching the Tortoiseshell Technique would act on all living creatures in its scope, the user being no exception And even if a god is in the area of effect, he will have no i just as affected by its absolute control It’s such a fearful technique! But at the saer This technique has a great indeter it, the user will have no control over its effects In other words, the effects ative But noit could very possibly offer the user as a sacrifice for the Tortoiseshell technique after a few uses if they are unlucky How could I be willing to learn such a ive it to Fulo?”
At this point, Elux had an extre effort She thought I wanted to keep it for myself, and thus refused to transainst even a god was just too alluring, htly Why didn’t she consider that if I really wanted to keep it for myself, then I’d si that she was just te her emotions affect her decisions and didn’t think about it too much: it would likely calm down after two days As expected, when I went to look for her two days later, she seeh she still had some worries But her attitude to me was the saain Never did I expect her to be such a snake-hearted girl, who had already executed her scheritted his teeth as his whole body shook, clearly because the experience he had at that tiood weather, with the blue sky stretching continuously over the horizon, and the sunshine was especially abundant… The intense light essence brought an indescribable sense of harht: this sunshine was really ideal Fulo had invited ladly, and even told her that I would seclude myself to aim for the ninth step after that excursion, to ask His Majesty for her hand after I succeed in accoh At that time, I believed His Majesty would at least offer me the level of nobility of a viscount, as well as a title of court e
“We exited the eht ere out for a scenic tour, I suddenly discovered that ere surrounded, a large a off every one of our routes of escape These people were htest shred of their skins visible Upon appearance, they launched a frantic attack at us At that tiotten about the use of hth step As amy ooman seemed like common sense in my eyes, especially with how conceited I was at that tihth step, I ly”
“Those black clad , but a lot of theat least the seventh step I found it very strange at that tireat empires were really infiltrated, how could the powerhouses froard them to such an extent? If this kept up, I was afraid Fulo and I wouldn’t ever get away, so Iout Fulo to ie
“At this time, Fulo see various su spells to assist me, and we rode her suht the eneer catch up to us, we rushed out at full speed, and the distant walls of the eht chill permeated in my heart, and when I lowered hheld in Fulo’s hand”
At this point, Long Haochen and Cai’er couldn’t help but cry out in alarm Never did they expect this princess Fulo to actually betray Elux: they were lovers who had sworn the pledge of eternal love!
“At that instant, her look was completely filled with malevolence” Deep tears of sadness flowed out from Elux’s eyes, “She even murmured, ‘Why, just why didn’t you hand the Tortoiseshell over to o so far at first’
“My heart was in pain, even ot nuh that dagger Even at that time, I was still unable to believe that ainsther, I trained night and day All for the sake of sharing happiness alongside her in the future But she stabbed a dagger full of poison in my left chest, aimed at the spot which should correspond with an ordinary person’s heart This stab inflicted complete despair in me She should have been clearly aware that I had no suspicions at all toward her, and ilance was the most loose
“This instant, even more black cladin wait since long ago, and expected all of this to happen long since The previous ambush was just a start, but Fulo’s stab was the true critical point in thecold voice spread; that man told Fulo: ‘Kill him’
“That instant, I finally came to a realization The desire for survival causedoff from her ly having had a change of heart due to this stab, which stopped her froe of this opportunity, I took out a scroll, which was forged by a greatme instantly six kilometers away They clearly didn’t expect et away The instant the Escape Scroll took effect, I still remember clearly that the sobered Fulo hastily commanded her summoned beast to attackintent, without any of the for Haochen and Cai’er were already co the whole situation they were in Perceiving the deep sadness coine the kind of feelings he had back at that time
For a moment, the two of them were completely speechless So there was after all a basis for the Scion of Light’s betrayals to his duties! He was in the end betrayed, but how could thatCalamity?
