NOVEL WEB Chapter 15: Beheading (7)_2
Evilia was completely terrified, hastily paid respect, and then quickly left.
Looking coldly at the panicked and distant Evilia, Bruto said to Richie softly, "Alright, leave the rest to us. We will give you a satisfactory answer. No one involved will be able to escape."
After speaking, Bruto silently paid respect and took to the air, crossing the balcony and flying out of the room.
Next was Simon, followed by the other Liches. One by one, the Liches paid respect and left.
In the blink of an eye, Gray's room was once again left with only Richie, Delia, and Sarina.
...
Countless Liches floated in the air, densely packed, like an ocean of Undead Army swiftly becoming agitated.
Zombies beat their own chests, Bone Dragons roared towards the sky, Skeleton Soldiers raised their weapons high.
A Lich without the protection of the Undead Army was fragile. A Lich with the protection of the Undead Army was a nightmare. Countless Liches, even more so.
The powerful Liches had started chanting incantations one after another, beginning to cast magic on their Undead Army.
The clouds in the sky condensed into a vortex, lightning flashed back and forth, illuminating the grotesque faces of the undead.
The power of death was gathering, fear was spreading wildly.
"It's over... They're really about to make a move..."
The Golden Dragons were already in despair.
"Quick——! Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!" The elder Golden Dragons roared with eyes wide open.
Countless Golden Dragons flapped their wings, taking off from their nests.
A brutal war was already on the brink.
...
In another dimension, it was still quiet within the Holy Light, silent without any sound.
...
In the abyss, the demons had already started cheering.
"Their allies are fighting among themselves! It's simply unimaginable!"
"After the fight, will they still have the strength to continue expanding? Let's guess how many Liches will get sent back to their soul phylacteries in this battle!"
"Hahaha, the Black Dragon Clan really did an unexpectedly great job. This tactic is incredibly evil! At first, I was worried that with the Lich King dead, the White Bone Holy Light Court wouldn't split. Now it seems my worry was unnecessary."
"Maybe they didn't expect it to evolve this way either? But now, it doesn't matter! Even if it didn't evolve this way, do you expect that group of Liches to elect a new Lich King?"
...
Numerous Bone Dragons flapped their wings, flying towards the sky. The Liches stood on their backs and looked down upon the earth.
In the stunned eyes of the Golden Dragon Clan, the Skeleton Army, holding heavy shields and spears, was already covering the Skeleton Archers as they gradually advanced.
The gigantic Assembled Beasts roared wildly, the sound echoing throughout the valley.
"Revenge——!" The Liches' shouts resounded through the heavens and earth.
Countless Golden Dragons roared back.
...
*Standing in Gray's room, Richie still stared blankly at his father's relics.*
*Time passed, second by second.*
"I have a child. I might be the first Lich in this world to have offspring. As soon as I had a child and became a father, my sense of mission grew stronger. Before, I only needed to think about what kind of person I wanted to become. But now, I also have to think about what kind of person I want my child to become."
*Staring at his father's relics, Gray's words gradually emerged in Richie's mind.*
"I want him to be brave, resolute, and upright. I want his life to be spotless and majestic, able to withstand the scrutiny of his own heart. I hope fear, cowardice, and compromise stay far away from him. Therefore, I must first become such a person. Because only by doing so can I be his role model. Failure isn't scary; what's scary is our cowardice in the face of difficulties. If we desire something, we should step forward to pursue it. Even if we fail, someone will pick up our banner and carry on."
*Richie stood silently, his father's outline slowly took shape in his eyes.*
"There won't be a day when you need to go to war. Before that, I will resolve everything."
"You will have your own glory. Glory is not just about vanquishing enemies. Even vanquishing enemies is only the beginning. War is not our goal, it's just a means we use when we have no other choice. After the war, we need to rebuild, there's still a lot to do. Let everyone be kind and upright, let the Holy Light shine in every corner of the world, that's our true goal."
"I'm sorry, I can't be there to watch you grow up. From the time you were born until now, I haven't spent much time with you. I am not a competent father. But I love you. I think, at the very least, I should be a good example for you."
"Take good care of your mother. Don't have hatred, hatred can't bring back anything. Don't let the darkness erode your heart, your soul, regardless of any reason. Promise me, okay?"
