Novel Full Chapter 487 To Damnation And Beyond
“Why?” General Carran asked as he looked at the Ammarian General who had been mortally wounded by his attack.
General Revon spat a mouthful of blood as he lay on the ground, dying. Instead of throwing his spear towards the Yelan General, he threw it towards Lux in an attempt to end the latter’s life once and for all.
This move shocked General Carran and made him wonder why the Ammarian General did such a thing.
“Why?” General Revon asked back hoarsely. “Do you really not know the answer, or are you just pretending to be ignorant?”
The Yelan General narrowed his eyes as he looked down at the dying General on the ground.
“Tell me,” General Carran insisted. “I want to hear it from your own lips.”
Although he was hurting, General Revon managed to chuckle at the absurdity of the situation. Even he didn’t think that at the last second, he would choose to target the Half-Elf instead of the Yelan General who fought against him.
However, he was sure that if he could turn back time and given the same choices, he would repeat what he had done today.
General Revon chuckled as blood dripped from the corner of his lips.
“I… have heard how formidable you are… and wanted to know if the stories were true,” General Revon said with ragged breaths. “You are… indeed strong, but… not strong enough to tip the outcome in favor… of the Yelan Kingdom.”
General Revon then coughed a few times before shifting his gaze in the direction where the Half-Elf was.
“It is not you… or me who will decide the outcome of this war…” General Revon closed his fists. As he tried to prop himself up. “The greatest… threat on this battlefield… is him.”
He forced himself to stand because, as a General, he wanted to die standing on his two feet, instead of lying on the ground and waiting for death to take him.
General Carran didn’t do anything and simply allowed the enemy general to do as he pleased. He had recognized the Ammarian General as a fearsome foe, so the least he could do was allow him to die in a way fitting of his rank.
“If he only chose my side… the one who would be dying would have been you,” General Revon stated as he fixed his fading vision on the Half-Elf, who was desperately pouring bottles of healing potions on the body of the young lady, who risked her life to save him.
“You should… know what… Necromancers… are capable of doing,” General Revon coughed once more as his body slowly but surely neared its limit. “After all… you also lost to one… right?”
General Carran didn’t refute the Ammarian General’s words. There was one time when he had accidentally come across a vagabond Necromancer, who was performing an unholy ritual on the border of the Yelan Kingdom.
The Necromancer was also a Ranker, and although he was a realm weaker than the Yelan General, that disparity was overcome by the hordes of Undead that obeyed his command.
General Carran had lost many of his trusted and loyal subordinates in that battle, and since then, he hated Necromancers with a vengeance.
If not for the fact that Lux had helped them out in the Marshland Campaign, he would have definitely ended the Half-Elf’s life because of the grudge he’d held for the past few years.
“You… should be… careful, Carran,” General Revon said as he faced the Yelan General. “Necromancers are… willful beings. You might be… his ally now… but who knows what will… happen tomorrow. It will be… best if you dispose of… him now… while you still ca–kreuk!”
The Ammarian General wasn’t able to finish his words because a dagger had pierced through his neck, surprising even General Carran, who was only several meters away from General Revon.
“You talk too much,” Sid stated. “Just go to hell where you belong.”
The Dhamphir then twisted his knife, creating a gaping hole on General Revon’s neck.
A moment later, the Dwarf Assassin casually pushed the general’s body, making it fall on the ground, before making a slashing motion to his side, removing the blood that stained his dagger.
“Y-You!” General Carran shouted in both surprise and anger. “Why?! He’s already dying!”
Sid shifted his gaze from the fallen General beside his feet to the Yelan General who was looking at him with bloodshot eyes.
“If he’s still dying, then it means that he is not dead yet,” Sid replied with a shrug. “My Master wants him dead, and I also want him dead. Because of this, he needs to die. Simple as that. Also, before you spout more rubbish, let me just say that you were only able to kill him because we had already worn him down.
“You heard what he said earlier. The one whom he thinks is the greatest threat to their Army in this war is not you, but my Master. So, if you want to win, don’t make my Master your enemy. Even if he cannot kill you, he can certainly kill a lot of people.”
Sid then shifted his gaze on his Master, who was still desperately pouring bottles of Health Potion over Cai’s body.
“My master is too kind to be a Necromancer,” Sid added. “If he wasn’t, my sisters might be suffering right now and only the Gods know what might have happened to them. Fortunately, he isn’t a bad person and allowed me to reunite with them. That is why…”
Sid then fearlessly pointed his dagger to General Carran, and looked at him with a steady gaze.
“Even if you are stronger than me, the moment you harm my Master will be the day that this blade will end your life,” Sid declared.
The Dhamphir then flapped the wings behind his back and flew towards the sky. Although the battle had now ended, there was still the possibility that Ammarian Reinforcements would come to see what had happened on this side of the battlefield.
Sid would gladly risk his life to eliminate anyone who would dare to harm his Master, as well as make his little sisters cry.
He didn’t care how strong they were, or how high their position was.
Assassins didn’t care for such trivialities.
As long as that person must die, he would make sure that they died, not caring what methods he used to make it happen.
For him, his second life was precious, but his little sisters’ happiness was more precious.
To that end, Sid would ensure that Lux remained alive, even if it meant that he, himself, would go to Damnation and Beyond.
