GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2369: Stand And Watch.

The bloody heart consumed their spiritual energy and created a wide domain with the effect of life drain. Everyone in this domain had their life energy drained, even if they were legends.

As the domain spread, the excited avatar of the angel of killing shivered and became agitated. He became so agitated that his existence shifted from its jovial mode to his fight-or-flight mode.

All of this was because he was able to identify the effect of the domain. It was easy for him to identify the domain because it was very familiar to him. This familiarity made him think the source of the domain was another avatar like him.

The Life Drain divine ability is the rank 8 divine ability of killers. It is the only life-saving divine ability that they possess, as they can use it to heal themselves when they incur injuries in a fight.

Apart from being able to replenish their lost life energy, the Life Drain divine ability is also the precursor to using the Blood Sacrifice divine ability, which is their rank 9 divine ability.

As an angel of death, he knew how to combine the two abilities very well. An angel of killing can drain the life energy of their enemies and use that stolen life energy to create devastating attacks using Blood Sacrifice.

So if the source of the domain was an avatar like him, he would have a lot to worry about. Fortunately, the domain didn’t come from an avatar.

When the avatar of the god of killing confirmed that the source of the domain was from the undying godclad, he relaxed. Then he began to smile again.

He said, “This little guy is full of so many surprises. So he had the flesh of the god of killing with him all along. Why didn’t I sense it?”

He shook his head and stopped thinking about the flesh of the god of killing. Instead, he refocused on the situation of the city.

There was actually a lot going on in the city that warranted this attention. With the domain taking effect, more and more people began to die in the city. The legendary noble also became overwhelmed.

On one side was Legion, an undying godclad, and on the other side was the god of killing. Meanwhile, the city was still getting destroyed, and people were dying everywhere.

The legendary noble couldn’t handle all of these on his own. So the other two legends decided to help. They even decided to involve the demigod in hopes that the fight will settle down.

They asked the demigod to come out and put pressure on all their enemies. She decided to listen to them because it was either that or the city would be destroyed and she would lose her support.

So she came up from the underground chamber to confront everyone. Meanwhile, now that the barrier had come down, the legendary noble could now attack Legion and his slaves.

Legion wasn’t going to sit still and let himself and his slaves be attacked without doing anything. They decided to leave the barrier to fight the legendary noble.

As soon as they came out of the barrier, they liberated their divine form. Their form shifted from that of a white-skinned human into a diamond humanoid rhino. This took the legendary noble by surprise and made him hesitate.

When legends fight, they save their divine forms until they become desperate. No one starts fighting with their divine forms unless they are willing to kill their enemy at all costs.

Now that Legion had liberated their divine form, he could either accept defeat and run away or also liberate his divine form and fight to the death. He didn’t want to fight to the death, which was why he hesitated.

Legion didn’t pressure him after they saw him hesitate. They too didn’t want to fight anymore. They just wanted to kill one million people and escape as soon as possible.

So they said to the legend, “Back off. I just want to kill one million people. I will leave when I am done.”

The legendary noble wanted to ask why Legion wanted to kill one million people. But before he asked the question, he already got the answer. After all, it was one of the reasons why nobles didn’t like killers.

Many killers have approached Reinfield to kill people. They either ask for permission or try to be sneaky about it. Both times, the aim of the killers is to kill 1 million people. So he is very familiar with that number and the motive behind it.

After getting his answer and understanding the motivation of the undying legend, the legendary noble became angrier. He couldn’t believe his ears at all.

He was so angry that he asked again to be sure, “So you used our energy spring to advance one pathway, and now you want to use the people in our city to advance another pathway, and you expect me to just watch?”

Legion replied with confidence, “Yes. I expect you to stand by and watch. The alternative is to fight me to the death.”

“Even if you are willing to do that, remember that there is still the angel of killing watching by the side. So even if you defeat me, you will only weaken your chances of surviving the angel.”

The legendary noble shut up after hearing that. He was very angry, and he wanted to fight, but he wasn’t angry enough to risk his life.

It is simply impossible for him to easily defeat Legion without sacrificing something now that they have liberated their divine form. The sacrifice in question here is risking his mental health to liberate his divine form.

As an experienced legend, he knows that every liberation of the divine form might be his very last. He knows that the line between sanity and insanity in the divine beast form is a thin line that is easy to cross. This is especially the case when the legend liberates in a state of anger and extreme emotional imbalance.
