Original God's Dark Priest

The heavy breathing could not cover up the pain that felt like the lungs were burning with fire.

When Gabriel rushed back as fast as he could in his life, he saw a scene that almost froze his blood.

On the high stone platform, the newly born, still very young baby Jade was thrown onto the scorching sand. She was burned by the scorching sun and scorched by the sand. She cried until her voice was hoarse and she almost lost her breath.

On the other side, Youfei, with tears on her face, was forced to the edge of the stone platform by Samel with a dagger at her neck. If she took one more step back, she would slip and fall. Falling from this height, with Youfei's physical condition, there would be no hope of survival.

"Samel! What are you doing!" Gabriel felt as if his soul was frozen, and waves of chills rushed to his forehead. Even in the scorching desert, he felt a chill in his heart.

Sameer attacked his wife and children, but he was unable to protect them.

Poor Jade had already suffered from heatstroke. You know, a child of that age could die from heatstroke at any time!

But Gabriel had no time to think about this problem because Youfei was still in danger.

Noticing Gabriel's return, Sameer sneered: "Gabriel, you're back? You ask me what I'm doing? Isn't it obvious?"

"Let go of Youfei!" Gabriel stretched out his hand to stop him.

But Sameer directly put the dagger on Yufei's neck. The sharp dagger cut her skin, and blood slowly flowed out: "Don't get excited, Gabriel, otherwise... my hand holding the knife may not be steady."

"Okay... okay, I won't move, and you don't have to hurt Youfei." Gabriel was restrained by these words and didn't dare to move at all.

"Gabriel..." Yufei was held by Samel, and could only try her best to glance at Gabriel below, "Don't worry about me, take Jade away..."

Before she could finish her words, Sameer grabbed her hair, breaking several strands of her long golden hair. She screamed in severe pain.

Sameer sneered, "Shut up! It's not time for you to talk now."

As he said this, he looked at Gabriel who was staring at him warily, and then kicked Jade who had almost stopped crying at his feet: "Come on, choose one, you want the big one..." He increased the strength of the hand that was pulling Yufei's hair, and Yufei screamed.

"Or this little one?" He kicked Jade again. The poor child was almost unable to make any sound, but after being kicked by him, she tried to cry out again.

Faced with such a situation, Gabriel fell into deep despair. He had to make a decision as soon as possible. Neither Yufei nor Jade could hold on for long.

However, Samel had no intention of letting him make a decision from the beginning, because a group of members of the Gilded Brigade had slowly approached and surrounded the isolated and helpless Gabriel. These were Thutmose's men.

It was Sameer who called over to ambush Gabriel.

"I don't want to kill you, Gabriel." Samel looked at the confused Gabriel and softened his tone. "You know, we have always been brothers, but you were deceived by this woman who walked out of the rainforest!"

As he said that, he pushed Youfei forward fiercely, and the dagger in his hand slashed across her neck...

Blood splattered.

You Fei didn't care about the pain of her hair being torn off, and fell on the yellow sand in a miserable state, covering the wound on her neck tightly with both hands. However, her artery was cut, and there was no hope of survival.

"Yufei!!!" Gabriel was in pain and despair. He wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Thutmose's members and could not break through at all.

Youfei barely opened her eyes and looked at Gabriel with a hint of attachment. The wound on her neck continued to spurt blood and she was about to lose her life.

In the last few seconds of her life, Youfei slowly opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she almost didn't have the strength to exhale, and the words she wanted to say became a whisper-like mumbling.

Gabriel watched his wife being killed in the yellow sand. He watched the light of wisdom and agility in her eyes gradually fade and finally become lifeless. His heart was dead.

At this moment, Gabriel suddenly wanted to die here and leave with Youfei.

But the faint crying sound awakened him from his confusion.

Yes, the child is still waiting for him to save him. Even if Yufei dies, Jade cannot die!

Gabriel's breathing became more and more rapid. He looked at the people around him with a fierce look in his eyes: "Samel...sooner or later, I will...kill you!"

"Yufei is already dead... Next, all we have to do is take this child... Jade, right? What a pity, you shouldn't have come into this world." Samel raised the dagger in his hand and was about to kill Jade.

The next moment, Gabriel suddenly exploded, and brilliant lightning burst out, instantly defeating the defense line formed by Thutmose members. In this attack, he overdrew almost all of his potential, and the lightning that burst out seemed to be able to connect heaven and earth.

In a rage, Gabriel waved the weapon in his hand and kept repelling those who tried to stop him. The lightning flashing from his weapon was like a punishment from heaven, and anyone who touched it would die. There was no mercy at all.

In less than a second, Gabriel appeared in front of Sameer.

"What..." There was no time to be surprised. Samel swung his dagger to meet the long staff that was smashed down by Gabriel. The ice and thunder kept colliding, interweaving to create a scene like hell.

Gabriel was like a madman, having almost lost his mind. He kept swinging his long staff to attack, wanting to kill Samel here.

Samel was surprised to find that even though the weapon he was using was lighter, it could not keep up with Gabriel's extremely fast attack speed when he was furious.

He was caught off guard by Gabriel's violent attack and was soon hit on the right arm by a stick, sending him flying.

Sameer's right arm broke directly in the air. The severe pain of the fracture made him groan. When he fell to the ground, his right arm suffered the impact again and he completely lost the ability to move.

"Gabriel! You bastard!" Samel struggled to get up, his broken right arm hanging limply at his side.

He knew that he had to retreat, otherwise he would not be a match for Gabriel.

The remaining members of Thutmose also thought so. Samel's ambush on Gabriel this time was actually on his own initiative, so he did not bring many people, which also gave Gabriel a chance to fight back.

After realizing this, Samel and his group immediately ran away without further ado, leaving only a few charred corpses and Yufei, who had lost her life but still had her eyes open.

Gabriel didn't care about Samel and the others. He slowly picked up Jade, who had stopped crying, and reached out to touch Jade's forehead. He found that her body temperature was abnormally high. He realized that she had heatstroke and had to be treated as soon as possible.

Fortunately, this is an oasis with a pool of water below. With the water, Jade's body temperature can be barely maintained. After he buries Youfei, he can also take Jade to the rain forest for medical treatment.

Yufei was eventually buried in this oasis. It was not because Gabriel did not want to find a better burial place for him, but because he really had no conditions to find one. Jade's situation could not be ignored. He had to suppress the pain in his heart and take Jade away from here quickly.

After filling the last handful of soil, this strong man finally shed tears of sadness. Until this moment, the fact of Youfei's death became real in his heart. He realized that his wife, Jade's mother, would never come back.

From now on, when Jade asks him about his mother, he will be speechless.

After burying Youfei, he knelt in front of the erected tombstone and cried until he lost his voice. Jade, who was standing beside him, was fed water by him and a gauze soaked in clean water was applied to her forehead. Her breathing gradually stabilized and she was no longer in danger of life for the time being.

At this moment, Gabriel deeply realized that he only had Jade.

You Fei's last words before her death kept looping in his mind, repeating word for word. Although he didn't hear them, the meaning of the words came clearly into his mind.

"Gabriel, don't cry. Take Jade and go." After saying this, Gabriel's eyes turned red. This was the nth time he had recalled such painful memories over the years.

Time has not been able to make him forget the past. He remembers every detail and every word clearly. Because of this, his hatred for Sameer deepens year by year.

He dare not forget, and he will not forget. He will keep recalling what happened that day that year. He keeps chewing on the unforgettable pain just to remind himself to never forget that fresh hatred.

Tirzad was stunned, he didn't expect that Gabriel's past could be so painful, and that such a thing could happen.

Jade had already burst into tears. As expected, both her mother and her father loved her. She could have had a happy family and grew up happily like other children.

She…could have.

Everything is because of Sameer!

The hatred in Jade's heart continued to grow, and this hatred seemed to attract the elemental energy around her, and streams of fiery red elemental power began to gather towards Jade.

Saphir was acutely aware of this, and she narrowed her eyes: "Is this... a sign of the coming of the Eye of God? It's happening now..."

She didn't think this was a good thing. Jade's mentality changed because of hatred. Alecino and Diluk were in similar situations.

Both of them obtained the divine eye of fire attribute. It’s not that the fire attribute is bad, but they both have one thing in common, that is... their personalities have become a bit gloomy.

Saphir didn't want Jade to become like this. But she didn't stop it, just watched calmly as the fire elemental energy continued to gather in Jade's chest.

She had the ability to stop it. For example, the time with Scaramucci, she just said "get out" and destroyed the Eye of God that had already appeared.

"No, I can't do this!" Jade suddenly waved her arms like crazy, breaking up the gathered fire elemental force. The Eye of God that was about to take shape actually slowly dissipated under her resistance.

It was the first time that Saphir had seen such a thing and he was greatly surprised.

After doing all this, Jade was still confused. She opened her eyes wide and suddenly hugged Saphir's arm: "Sister, do you still consider me a friend?"

"Why do you say that suddenly?" Saphir frowned, not understanding why Jade suddenly acted like this.

Jade pulled off the red silk on her face, staring at Saphir with her golden eyes, tears still brimming in the corners of her eyes: "Samel, let me kill that guy, okay?"

"Heh... do you think I'm some kind of murderer? I've already told you that I keep Samel so that you can take revenge yourself." Saphir wiped the tears from the corners of Jade's eyes helplessly, his tone full of doting.

Jade blinked, then let go of Saphir and nodded heavily: "Okay! I must put an end to this beast with my own hands!"

Looking at the energetic Jade, Saphir smiled.

Yes, the full-of-energy Jade is the real Jade. If she is blinded by hatred and becomes silent and gloomy, is she still Jade?

Indeed, if possible, she would rather her friends have a more sunny and cheerful mental outlook.

That's it, it's good.

"I think I have explained what happened in detail. Lord Dark Shepherd, do you have anything else you want to ask?" Gabriel had come back to his senses by now, and his mood had calmed down.

Saphir nodded: "Well... not bad. At least, you didn't watch your wife being killed and remain indifferent. I recognize you."

She didn't ask Gabriel to do what Zhongli did, chasing his enemies to the ends of the earth and tearing them into pieces. As long as he had the heart to do so, as long as he had not forgotten the past hatred and had fought back hard, she would be satisfied.

Her subordinates may be weak in combat power, disrespectful or even rebel against the Tiangang, but they must never be heartless or bully the weak and fear the strong. This is her consistent principle.

Gabriel is a traitorous sand, but his betrayal is not selling out his master for personal gain nor is he fickle, so Saphir accepts him.

She knew very well what kind of organization Thutmose was. As a member of the organization, Gabriel resolutely chose to leave after recognizing the facts and paid such a heavy price. This just shows that he has a scale in his heart.

There are not many people who can understand the truth, know when to advance and retreat, and know good and evil. Gabriel did all of these, and he also raised an outstanding daughter like Jade. His ability is undoubtedly top-notch.

At this time, Tirzad finally recovered from the shock, and he looked at Gabriel with no hostility. Anyone who heard such a story would sympathize with Gabriel, and Tirzad was no exception: "Now that it comes to this, Gabriel's purpose of coming here, I guess, is not for the reward?"

"Well, I came here for the secret of the Red King." Gabriel stated his purpose frankly.

Others were not surprised by this. After all, Youfei was studying this during her lifetime. In order to fulfill his late wife's last wish, Gabriel would never give up any opportunity.

This is also the reason why he decided to come here even though he knew he would encounter Sameer.

In his heart, Yufei's last wish is more important than his own life.

Although after Safir's reminder, Gabriel realized how reckless his decision was, but now it is different. With Safir's god-level combat power, dealing with Samel would be a dimensionality reduction attack.

Sameer? Thutmose? What a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp? One slap and they'll all die.

A hint of relief flashed through Gabriel's heart. He had to admit that it was a good decision for him to come to the desert this time.

"But even my mother has been researching for several years without any results. Can Tirzad do it?" Jade was pessimistic.

This made Tirzad's defense immediately break down: "What? How can I not do it? The next step for us is to find out the gaps and fill them! Listen carefully, Jade, I already have an idea of ​​how to write this paper."

Looking at the noisy Tirzad and Jade, Gabriel smiled for the first time in his life, stood aside and watched quietly without interrupting.

He and Yufei were originally like a bird and a fish, but Achmar's secret made their fates intertwined.

Reality can be absurd, rational, desperate or beautiful. Everything is arranged by fate.

It is just as the saying goes: thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all blessings from God.
