Requiem Of A Failed Hero

Chapter 244 The Sound Of Goodbye



Wham!

Cor-Ellion appeared in the vast purplish space where the other three angels were waiting for him.

“What took you so long?” The angel using staff asked.

“I met interesting people” Cor-Ellion replied with a sly grin.

“Seeing how you even managed to sustain a wound with your indomitable body, they must have been really strong.” The angel said looking at his hand.

At that moment, Cor-Ellion’s eyes trembled, it was up until that moment he felt the pain that seethed out of his wrist, he lifted his hand and there was a wound on his wrist, with gold liquid pouring out of it.

His eyes widened further as he recollected the last moment where he used his bare hand to destroy Jarvis’s attack. He must have sustained this injury at that time.

Realizing that he had fully underestimated the death knight, his shocked state crumpled to a frown.

“Where is it?” The angel with staff asked. 𝒆𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙑.π™šπ™©

“Where is what?” Cor-Ellion replied with a frustrated tone.

“The crystal? The red crystal.” The angel repeated, frowning his face.

“Ha, I forgot. I don’t think it was with him anyways.” He said nonchalantly and disappeared.

“I told you it was not a good idea living it to him.” The angel with staff said frowning.

“If we couldn’t retrieve the crystal, does that mean we are going back?” Loel asked with anticipation.

“No Loel, we are not going back” The staff angel replied looking down at Therut, a planet whose outer space was already beginning to dissolve and crumble.

“The crystal will die with everyone on this planet. We can just report that it was destroyed in the process.” He said and darted away.

Loel frowned as he looked down at the crumbling planet.

“Let’s go.” The other angel said.

Loel closed his eyes cleaning away the tears that poured out and flew away. The angel followed suit.

Some entities are not susceptible to the effect of space-time manipulation, whether it was controlled or as a result of natural flow.

Items powerful enough to easily resist conceptual laws, such as the crystal of creation. When the asura stabbed Raith the last time before putting him in a time loop and locking him away in subspace, the stab was to his belly, and with a hand as strong as that of Cor-Ellion, he broke the red crystal Raith had put in his body while he stabbed his hand into Raith’s belly.

Stabbing both his hand and the broken crystal and its shard into Raith’s hand.

Now, every loop that Raith went through did not affect the crystal, which means that two things were conscious of his loop, Raith’s mind and the crystal of creation.

Each time the loop returned to the beginning, it was not the beginning of the loop for the crystal, instead the crystal contrary got stabbed deeper and deeper into his body. Perhaps it was one of the reasons why the pain was unreasonably unbearable for Raith.

Over and over again by the crushing hand of the stab, the crystal continued to break into Raith’s bloodstream and dissolved by the toxicity of it.

Until this moment.

“We were not able to save master…” Crimson’s voice shuddered as he looked around.

The sky was darkening and was peeling off, falling on the ground and causing a cataclysmic explosion.

The humans who have been hiding silently up until now were forced to run out of the means of running for their life.

Rudgen was carrying Curtis who had passed out since and was running but stopped as he passed the death soldiers whose spirits were broken and they didn’t look like they were ready to live.

“I am sorry to be saying this but isn’t what your master would want now is for you to live despite this situation? I don’t know much about him or the reason as to why Curtis Dellagado is so obsessed with him that he would throw himself in harm’s way. But he fought to protect all of us, didn’t he? So that we might live. Shouldn’t that be what we should be doing right now?”

“These motherfucker? Who do you think–

Jarvis stopped Antares, holding him on his shoulder.

“The human is right.”

Even Antares wouldn’t deny that Jarvis’s thick voice was intimidating.

“So? You want to leave here…”

“No, at least we can save the humans. That is what my liege would do if he was here right now.” Jarvis stated.

“Jarvis is right, it is the reasonable thing to do. This world seems to be collapsing, no matter where the humans run to, they are bound for destruction. But if we bring them to Necropolis, they will be safe there and we can also regroup with the other humans and save them too.”

“And what about our king.”

“I know he will fight through this and come out stronger, right Kortopi?” Jarvis said looking at Kortopi who responded with a vibrant nod.

Antares frowned, narrowing his compound eyes at the humans. He sighed and let go of his creased expression.

“Fine… bring them in.” He said opening a massive black wormhole just like a gate.

“Humans, come here, your world is collapsing, you will not be safe no matter where you go but here,” Crimson said to them.

Rudgen gulped.

“Sir Rudgen?” The shivering boy behind him mumbled his name.

“Let’s trust them, besides, we don’t really have a choice now.” Rudgen looked up, ‘he is correct, our world is collapsing.’

He looked at Crimson and bowed his head.

“Thank you, then we’ll be in your care.”
