Rocot: Reborn

Raynor felt as if his blood had frozen in an instant. Arya's life, and... joining Blood Shadow? These two options were like two huge rocks, hitting his heart hard, making him almost unable to breathe.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Arya who was held hostage by the blood shadow. The girl's face was slightly distorted because of the pain, but she still bit her lips stubbornly and refused to make a groan. Her clear blue eyes were filled with worry and fear at this moment, but there was no trace of blame.

"Reno... don't..." Arya uttered a few words with great effort, her voice so weak that it was almost inaudible. She understood Reno's struggle at the moment, and even more so the responsibility he shouldered. If he betrayed his principles and the whole world in order to save her, it would be more painful than letting her die.

"Shut up!" Bloodshadow shouted impatiently, and used the dagger again. Tiny beads of blood immediately oozed out of Arya's neck.

"You promised him, Renault! Leave me alone!" Arya suddenly raised her voice, her tone full of determination, "Even if I die, I will curse you in hell!"

Renault's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the severe pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe. He knew that Arya was forcing him to make a choice in this way, but could he really watch her die?

He closed his eyes, and Bloodshadow's words and Arya's determined look kept echoing in his mind. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of pain and struggle.

"Okay..." He squeezed out a word from between his teeth with all his strength, "I promise you..."

Hearing Raynor's answer, Bloodshadow smiled triumphantly. He let go of Arya, letting her collapse on the ground helplessly, then walked up to Raynor, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a hint of appreciation: "Very good, you made a wise choice. Believe me, you won't regret it."

Renault did not speak, but lowered his head silently. The shadow covered his expression at the moment, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"Very good, now let's start a new chapter!" Blood Shadow laughed and turned to walk towards a peculiarly shaped aircraft in the distance.

Renault followed Bloodshadow silently. Every step he took felt like he was walking on the tip of a knife. The severe pain continued to torment his body and mind.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and attacked Blood Shadow's back with lightning speed!

Bloodshadow obviously did not expect a sneak attack and was caught off guard, and was hit by the black shadow and fell heavily to the ground.

"Who is it?!" Bloodshadow roared angrily and struggled to get up.

"Your old friend." A deep voice came from the shadows, the tone full of sarcasm and disdain.

Raynor and Arya looked over and saw a tall man covered in a black cloak slowly walking out of the shadows. He wore a silver mask on his face, revealing only a pair of deep, star-like eyes that flashed with a cold light.

"It's you?!" Xueying saw the face of the person coming and exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief, "Didn't you already..."

"Dead?" The man sneered and interrupted Blood Shadow's words, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"You are still alive? This is impossible!" Xueying's tone was full of horror and disbelief, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Nothing is impossible." The man said coldly, "Do you think you can get rid of me so easily?"

"Who are you?" Renault, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked, his tone full of vigilance and confusion.

The man turned to look at Renault, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a cold smile: "You can call me..."

"The King of the Night."

"Who are you?" Renault, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked, his tone full of vigilance and confusion.

The man turned to look at Renault, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a cold smile: "You can call me..."

"The King of Darkness." The man pronounced the title word by word. His voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry an invisible pressure that shocked everyone present.

Hearing this name, Xueying's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had heard some horrible legend, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

"Impossible... This is impossible!" Xueying cried out in shock, "Aren't you dead? The Shadow Empire that you built with your own hands has been reduced to ashes. How could you still be alive!"

The Dark Night King sneered, his tone full of disdain and ridicule: "How can you ants guess my existence?"

He slowly took off the mask, revealing a face with sharp edges and corners. It was a face full of aggression, with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips tightly pursed, as if he was born with the majesty of a superior. However, there was a scar on his face that ran from the corner of his left eye to his cheek, which destroyed his original handsomeness and made him look more ferocious and terrifying.

The moment they saw this face, Raynor and Arya were stunned. They had never seen such an oppressive person. Especially Raynor, he felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and he could hardly breathe.

"You... who are you?" Renault asked with difficulty, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

The Dark Night King did not answer Renault's question. He just looked at him coldly, then turned his gaze to Blood Shadow, and said in an icy tone: "Blood Shadow, when you betrayed me, did you ever think that this day would come?"

Hearing the question from the Dark Night King, Blood Shadow's body trembled even more violently. He suppressed the fear in his heart and said fiercely, "Lokode, don't be so proud! Although you were the Dark Night King back then, you are nothing now! This world is no longer your era!"

"Really?" Rocot sneered, "Do you think you can kill me with your kind of shit?"

Before he finished speaking, Rocot's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Xueying was startled, and before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that a black dagger had pierced his heart, and blood was slowly flowing down the blade.

"You..." Xueying raised his head with difficulty and looked at Rokod standing in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief, "How could you be... so strong..."

"A dead man doesn't need to know so much." Rocot said coldly, then pulled out his dagger and let Bloodshadow's body fall to the ground.

After doing all this, Rocot turned around and his eyes fell on Renault and Arya.

"Are you going to betray me too?" Rocot's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the Netherworld.
