Chapter 661: Still obtaining rewards
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
To Sheyan, slaying Guarba now would be as easy as flipping his hand. Of course, Guarba’s sorry state was attributed to the combined might of Thiago, Hecaosi, Mbenga and the Gundazan. Strictly speaking, one still had to factor in that ancient Coiled Serpent tribe chieftain who installed such an ingeniously marvelous mechanism.
All these had utterly no relations to Sheyan whatsoever. As a result, by slaying Guarba now, his rewards would definitely be the lowest rung.
Despite that, Guarba was no ordinary person. He was an existence two realms above Sheyan! Even the lowest class of rewards would bring unspeakable ecstasy.
However, Sheyan was determined to forgo this reward. He wanted to fulfill Mbenga’s final desire – the dying wish of that smiley fool who sacrificed his whole life fighting for!!!!
To personally slay Guarba.
If Sheyan didn’t guess wrong, the soulforce of the secondary persona, that represented Mbenga, had already been swallowed by the main persona, the Gundazan.
As such, by doing this, it would equate to helping the Gundazan to kill off Guarba. This situation would be just like a storyline character killing off another storyline character, he would not obtain a single benefit.
Only, Sheyan was committed to doing this, because his blood was after all, warm!! Since he could not revive a comrade he shared life and death with, he could at least fulfill his comrades' final and greatest aspiration!!!
Benefits are eternal. Still, the guilt in one’s heart would never be appeased.
Sheyan immediately grabbed Guarba’s rotting left arm and blatantly hoisted him up. Then, he dragged him towards the coiled serpent statue on this bonfire plaza.
Only his thighs were left from his dissolving legs. As Guarba was dragged by Sheyan, a flooding trail of chartreuse colored fluids followed behind; emitting an assailing stench. It was like an ice cream that was left melting under the noonday sunshine of summer.
When he arrived before Mbenga, or perhaps, the Gundazan, Sheyan discovered he merely holding on to his final breath. His eyes were blank and devoid of life like a puppet, resembling that of a vegetable. Evidently, the main persona had also suffered grievous damages and all his courage to live on had been decimated.
Sheyan sighed as he observed him. "After this unlucky fella was tricked that he wasn’t the genuine inheritor of the Bayin bloodline but merely a bastard, such emotional turmoil is sufficient to crumble one’s mind. Being able to endure that is already rather remarkable…"
"Yet a cruel reality followed and utterly crumbled his fighting spirit....realizing that the ultimate secret only inherited by the Gundazan was a farce. Possibly, the old Gundazan also wasn’t aware the mechanism had such a delayed result, a lengthy process comparable to watching a short clip on dial-up access internet!! Clearly activating the ultimate Coiled Serpent statue mechanism, yet Guarba remained healthy and robust before inflicting mortal injuries to himself!"
It wasn’t hard to imagine the doting fatherly look the old Gundazan had while revealing such a monumental secret to him. A secret that solidified as the most precious treasure in his heart, one that fuelled his courage and motivation to carry on living.
However, when all was said and done, this heartfelt treasure unveiled a deceitful ‘mockery’ played by the Coiled Serpent. The emotional blow upon experiencing that would surely suffice to plunge one into ludicrousy.
What more, Guarba’s crimson blood eye similarly dealt spirit type damage that devastated his soul as well? Under such immense injuries, the spiritual, mental and physical collapse of the Gundazan was bound to happen.
Reflecting on all these, Sheyan could only express a little sympathy. Nevertheless, he held no sentiments for the Gundazan.
Sighing, he straightforwardly picked up a pike and slot it into the hand of this dying body. With a slight exertion, the pike thrust deep into the rotten festering left eye of Guarba; penetrating all the way into his brain!
The afternoon sun dimmed at this precise instance, as dark clouds churned by the horizon; as though a tempestuous storm was brewing around the corner.
Guarba’s lips split and curled into a faint smile after receiving that fatal strike. His cells disintegrated and dissolved away. The agony of such crumbling torment was truly unexplainably unbearable. Thus, to him, death wasn’t a torture but an escape; choosing to perish without a struggle.
Sheyan then received a list of notifications.
