Chapter 526: Chapter 371: Recovering from Ambush (Two-in-One)
Terence, settled in Gem State, naturally would not allow Lafa to take any action and was likely to use his real body to personally strike at Lafa…
Bales planned to take this opportunity to ambush Terence!
Initially, Terence arrogantly took away the relic that belonged to his lover Youlan, grandiosely claiming it as the property of the Sun Church. That’s when the hatred was seeded. But Bales was well aware that it wasn’t just Terence personally… but the entire Sun Church, even the Sun Royal Family, all acted in this manner!
From the top down, they were all arrogant and overbearing to an extreme.
Bales could understand, but could not accept.
He wanted justice both for Youlan and for himself.
Even if it meant becoming an enemy of the entire Empire, or even dying, he didn’t care at all.
But just as he was mere hundreds of meters from entering the city, the surroundings suddenly changed, covered by a layer of dark blue blurred vision.
Bales’s expression remained calm.
He knew he had most likely been discovered, that a trap had been set here in advance.
“Shelter’s Executioner Squad?”
Bales took off his bowler hat and looked ahead.
Seven figures stood silently, seemingly having waited for a long time, led by a familiar face, Captain Talelang, who had escaped with his life during that raid!
At this moment, Talelang’s face was contorted and ferocious, his eyes blood-red, baring a smile.
he said through gritted teeth.
“I’ve finally waited for you! I’ve waited too long for this day! My team members, my mentors, and my lover will be avenged with your blood!”
Bales remained indifferent throughout.
He just felt that this scene seemed familiar.
Like when he ambushed the Executioner Squad outside of Amber City in the Spirit World, but now the positions were reversed… much like how he and Terence became mortal enemies over Youlan, Talelang also sought revenge on him for the permanent departure of his lover.
It seemed like everything had come full circle.
Cycling with changes, endlessly in the cycle.
Bales knew that Talelang must have made thorough preparations this time, otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have deceived Bales’s high-level perception… but he didn’t care, for the other was still not a Saint but merely a Sequence Five Transcendent.
Together with the six people around Talelang, all being Mid Sequence, they posed no threat to him at all.
“I give you one chance, leave now, and I won’t strike,”
Bales said indifferently.
Right now, his full hatred was directed solely at Terence; these weaklings in front of him, whom he could crush easily, he didn’t care about at all.
“Bales, from the day Hilna was completely destroyed by you, I swore to take revenge on you… Even if you have ascended to a high position, I will die, but I will take a piece of your flesh!”
Talelang slightly bowed, his eyes staring intensely at Bales like a ferocious wolf.
The faces of the six men and women beside him were solemn, yet they also seemed resigned.
“Captain… You once saved our lives; today we will give our lives back to you! Give the order, even if it’s against a Saint, we are not afraid!”
Talelang’s expression softened slightly, glancing at the people around him.
Then, he cried loudly, first transforming into a gargoyle with dark gray skin, flapping his wings and rushing towards Bales. The other six people each used their Sequence abilities and followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Bales just shook his head and said:
This portion of the Spirit World instantly became so dark that one couldn’t see their hands in front of them.
Within a range of several kilometers, all plunged into darkness.
When the darkness dissipated,
Talelang had already fallen to the ground, amidst a pool of blood.
He struggled to move his eyes, looking up at the sky.
The bodies of the other six members hovered eerily in midair, like hanging bodies suspended in vacuum, with all their souls completely extinguished.
Talelang then turned his gaze to a nearby man in a black coat, who had not moved an inch from start to finish, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
“Saint… Haha Hahaha!!”
He suddenly started laughing loudly with tears.
“I told you, even if I die, I will take a piece of your flesh, Bales!”
Talelang coughed up blood ceaselessly, his eyes fixed on Bales, his face exhibiting a mix of madness, paranoia, and triumph.
On the brink of death, he suddenly recalled the words his superior had advised him before he set out.
“Talelang, are you sure you want to apply to use this ‘A-level Mysterious Object’? It has been a long time since anyone has been willing to use it because the cost is too great… You really don’t need to be so obsessed with Bales, now during a full-scale war, you…”
“Judge, I am certain I want to invoke the ‘Resentment of the Dark Eldest Son’… Even if I am martyred, Bales will suffer the punishment he deserves!”
The sigh echoed in Talelang’s memories.
And he, catching a glimpse of the gloomy look on Bales’s face, contentedly closed his eyes.
At the same moment, an extremely profound black line emerged from Talelang’s body and connected to Bales.
“For the price of life, endow the murderer with a Mythical-level Curse…”
Bales looked down at the black line connected to his left chest, murmured,
“A very familiar aura, this is the descendant of that being from the Dark World… no wonder it holds such power.”
His eyes suddenly narrowed.
A severe headache followed, catching him off guard.
