God of Vengeance

Chapter 23 Lark's Grief and Persistence

Just when Cang Ji couldn't help but wanted to rush out of the barrier, Lin Jingyan firmly held him back, preventing him from going any further.

"Lin Jingyan, let go!" Cang Ji struggled to get rid of Lin Jingyan's restraint, but at this moment Lin Jingyan's hand was holding his hand tightly like steel, and he couldn't break free for a while.

"Cang Cang, calm down, now is not the time to rush out." While speaking, Lin Jingyan also stopped the move that Mo wanted to rush out, "Dark elf kid, don't move, the matter has not been clarified yet, rushing out now is to scare the snake away .”

Cang Ji froze immediately after hearing Lin Jingyan's words, and after taking several deep breaths, the redness in his eyes slowly receded and he calmed down.

"You're right, I was too impulsive." Cang Ji took two steps back with a pale face, clenched his hands into fists, and there was an obvious wry smile on his usually expressionless face, "I didn't expect Lark to be so impulsive." I will live, but it will be more painful than living!"

"But it won't happen in the future, will it?" Lin Jingyan took advantage of the situation and hugged Cang Ji from behind, comforting him softly.

"That's right, I won't make Lak suffer anymore..." Cang Ji had no mood to break free at this time, and let Lin Jingyan hold him like this, but there was a flash of determination on his face.

At this moment, there was movement in the cave——

Lark noticed Nicholas' arrival, raised his head with some effort, and looked at Nicholas's position absently.Its eyes have long been invisible, and its sense of smell has been completely destroyed, so it can only rely on intuition to judge its identity.

"Grandpa Nicholas, woo...I hurt so much, really hurt..." Lak cried in an extremely hoarse and piercing voice, but he couldn't do anything other than that as he was dying.

"Luck, good boy, I'll infuse you with holy power right now, so you should feel better." Nicholas saw Lak's current state, a flash of heartache flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't do anything else, he could only comfort him softly.

"Grandpa Nicholas, I really can't hold on anymore... The master will never come back, right? So... kill me!" Lark's voice was full of pain and despair, it really couldn't hold on anymore .Its current body was already riddled with holes, and Nicholas's holy power was just a drop in the bucket for it. At best, it could only slow down the rate of its body's decay, but it couldn't stop it from dying, and instead increased a lot of pain.

No, it had already died long ago, but for some reason the soul did not dissipate but was bound in this body, otherwise the body would not have gradually collapsed and rotted.It still remembers that one day three years ago, it suddenly felt severe pain all over its body, and then lost consciousness. When it regained consciousness again, it found itself completely powerless. What was even more frightening was that it could not feel the breath of its master at all, not even the slightest bit. arrive.

After that, some people wearing white robes would come to infuse it with holy power every day. At that time, it didn't know why those people infused it with holy power, but now it knows very clearly, because the holy power can maintain its body Not broken.It couldn't feel its master's breath, so it anxiously wanted to escape here to find its master, but it couldn't move, and couldn't leave that house at all.

That day, a person who looked exactly like its master appeared in front of it. Although it looked exactly the same, it knew that the person in front of it was not the master, and even that person had an aura that he hated.So when that person offered to sign a contract with it, it refused without hesitation. Even if the owner took the initiative to terminate the contract with it, it would never sign a contract with another person.The holy dragon is notoriously single-minded among the dragon clan, as long as it is recognized, it will never change.

The man's face twisted immediately after being rejected by it, and told it that the master would never come back.It already had a premonition in its heart, so although it suffered some blows, it was not as big as imagined.So it simply ignored the person who looked exactly like its owner, and that person was finally driven away by it.

In the following two or three days, no man in white came to infuse it with holy power, but it found that without the input of holy power, its whole body began to ache, making it miserable.Then the man who looked exactly like the master reappeared and let him sign a contract with him again.Although it was so painful, it still rejected the other party's request again. It still remembered the expression of that person at that time, which was distorted beyond human shape, but it didn't dare to do anything to it, and left cursing.

It originally thought that no one would come to infuse it with holy power, but it didn't expect that it would resume its original life the next day.

Until Nicholas appeared in front of him——

Of course it knew Nicholas, he was the master's mentor and someone he could trust, so when Nicholas offered to save it from leaving, it didn't refuse.It hates the person who is exactly the same as its master, and also hates those who give it holy power. Although it will be very painful if it doesn't lose the holy power, it wants to go out to find the master.

Then it was brought here by Nicholas. It didn't have the strength to find its owner, so it could only ask Nicholas.However, as time passed, looking at the hesitant flashes in Nicholas' eyes, it actually knew that its master would never come back.No, maybe it should have known from the moment it lost all contact with its owner that the owner would not be coming back.

Nicholas also obviously found that it already knew the truth, so he didn't mention that matter for a long time, and just poured holy power into it every half a month.It's just that these holy powers are just a drop in the bucket, and they are irreparably declining day by day.

But now, it has reached the limit of its endurance.

"Grandpa Nicholas, kill me!"

"No, no." Nicholas took two steps back in pain, covering his face with his hands to cover his expression, "I'm sorry Lark, even if I'm selfish, but you are the last imprint he left on this world, I don't want to see Seeing that the remaining imprint disappears. Perhaps, I should have left you in the temple back then, so that you would not suffer as much as now."

"Grandpa Nicholas, I don't regret leaving with you back then, really." After a pause, Lark closed his eyes wearily, "I'm dying, so let me go with the master."

"Lack..." Nicholas seemed hesitant to speak, a little at a loss.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind Nicholas——

"Nicholas Juggernaut, can you tell me what happened to Lark?"

Nicholas turned his head abruptly, and saw the dark elf in black walking out of the shadows with a dagger in his hand, and questioned him coldly.

"Mo, why did you appear here?" Nicholas stared at Mo vigilantly, his fingers curled slightly, ready to strike at any time.He was very careful when he came, he didn't realize that someone was following him, and then he opened the passage here, and Mo's appearance was completely beyond his expectation.

The existence of Lark cannot be known to anyone, especially the people in the temple. Once it is leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable. He will not be the only one involved, and even the friends who helped him will not be able to escape... Although the dark elves are now standing on the opposite side of the temple, But the stakes were high, and he had to be careful.

"Why can't I appear here?" Mo asked directly and threw the question back to Nicholas. He came to Nicholas under the instruction of Cang Ji, in order to find out what happened.

Although Cang Ji can almost use this to judge some things from the conversation between Lak and Nicholas just now, he has no intention of revealing his identity until he is completely sure of the mentor's position.Therefore, the burden of figuring things out fell on Mo.

"Mo, you shouldn't be here." Nicholas sighed, "Get out of here now, I can pretend nothing happened."

"If the Juggernaut Nicholas doesn't make things clear about Lark, I won't leave. Lark is his contract beast. I can't ignore the dirty things in your temple." Mo's eyes flashed coldly. The dagger pointed at Nicholas, completely unafraid of Nicholas' identity as a sword master.

"...I have nothing to do with the temple now." Nicholas was silent for a while, and then broke out an extremely shocking news.

"The majestic Sword Saint Temple is willing to let people go?" Mo let out a cold snort, obviously not believing Nicholas' words.

"After going through that incident, since you can completely betray the temple, how can I continue to have no barriers with the temple? I was actually there the day you knew the truth, but I was not as impulsive as you. The temple noticed it, So I don't want to leave this hidden danger behind me, and no one will stop me if I want to go." Because the other party is also an insider, Nicholas didn't hide it.

"I have always believed in him. After the temple persecuted him, Nicholas the Sword Master thought that I could still live in peace with the temple? What's more, the temple planned to deal with me after that, let me know The truth is simply a trap." Mo said a little stiffly, obviously recalling those dark days, "But Nicholas Juggernaut doesn't seem to have explained what happened to Luke, you know that he has... Alive? Although it seems that living is also very painful."

"Luck it, it was rescued by the temple. Of course, the temple has no good intentions in saving it." Nicholas laughed at himself. He didn't expect that the temple he had always believed in would turn out like this. The holy and upright temple was so dark and unscrupulous in that matter. After that incident, he was really disappointed with the temple. Before he knew it, the temple was no longer the temple it used to be.

"Then how did Lak become what it is now? I'm afraid it won't last long in its current state." Seeing Lak's terrifying appearance now, Mo couldn't help frowning.

"Because I don't have enough holy power." Nicholas shook his head with a wry smile. "At that time, I only wanted to rescue Luke, but I didn't expect that my holy power alone could not support the maintenance of Luke's body functions. When Luke was in the temple, , Every day, six holy magisters input holy power into it, even if I am a sword master, I can't maintain such input of holy power. In a sense, Lark is indeed no longer alive."

After hearing what Nicholas said, Mo didn't continue to ask questions. He knew that these conversations with Nicholas should be enough for Ji to make a judgment, and all he had to do now was wait.

At this time, Cang Ji was standing in the barrier with a complicated expression, wondering whether he should go out to meet with Nicholas mentor.

"Lin Jingyan, do you believe what your mentor said?" Although he had already made his own judgment in his heart, today's incident had dealt him such a blow that he couldn't make up his mind at all for a while, so he just I can ask Lin Jingyan for help.In the end, what he was asking for was just a reason to let him see his mentor again with peace of mind.

"Cang Cang, actually, you know he's not lying, don't you?" Lin Jingyan gave Cang Ji a reassurance, and he didn't expect this old sword master to be able to do this.He is well aware of the importance of faith to a person, and this old man can actually do such a move that is tantamount to betraying the temple for the sake of Cangsang. In this regard, it is enough for him to admire.

"Then do you think I should go out to meet the mentor?" Although he received Lin Jingyu's reassurance, Cang Ji was still hesitant about whether to meet Nicholas' mentor.

"Cang Cang, I can't help you if you see him or not. It depends on whether you want to see him or not." Lin Jingyan patted Cang Ji on the shoulder, signaling him to think about it.

"I don't know..." Cang Ji lowered his head and said softly, "To be honest, after going through such a betrayal, even if I knew that my mentor didn't betray me, and even made a move that was like betraying the temple for me, but I There is still no way to fully trust in the bottom of my heart.”

"Cang Cang, this is the deepest scar in your heart. I can't help you. Because in your heart, you can't give me complete trust, can you?" Lin Jingyan smiled bitterly at this moment, he actually knew this all along It is very clear, and he has never given up on wanting Cang Cang to trust him completely, but he has never succeeded.

"...I still have no way to face Mentor Nicholas right now." After a while of silence, Cang Ji finally made his own decision.Because he didn't know what expression to use to face the mentor, and what would the mentor think when he saw him resurrected from the dead.

He doesn't want to take risks.

After making a decision, he used voice transmission to tell Mo to find an excuse to leave.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred——

Lak, who was lying motionless on the ground listening to the conversation between Nicholas and Mo, suddenly trembled violently, and then began to struggle painfully.

"It hurts...it hurts!" Lak growled in pain while struggling, with a painful expression on his face.And its body suddenly began to decay at an accelerated rate visible to the naked eye, and its entire body began to collapse.

Lark, finally reached the limit, and his life has come to the end.
