Harper’s roars echoed in the cave, and his voice was filled with despair, anger, indignation, heartbreak, and countless emotions. Soon, one after another, scenes from his memories appeared in Harper’s mind.
“This girl has the Death Perception, and she’s born with the ability to communicate with the netherworld. From now onward, she’s yours,” Harper’s master said.
The chubby-cheeked girl in front of favonovel.com was tiny and adorable, looking about five years old. “Harper…”
‘She’s just a tool to help me reach the peak,’ Harper thought, and favonovel.com was only about seven at that time.
From that day onward, they were connected with a thin chain, one end on the girl’s neck and the other end in his hand. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed.
Over the past ten years, Harper grew taller and stronger, and favonovel.com gradually became the best among the Ninth Sacred Sect’s apprentices. On the other hand, the girl in his hand got stronger, but favonovel.com figure did not change drastically, and only favonovel.com fringe proved favonovel.com growth.
In those ten years, they practiced together and improved their realms together. Along their journey, the girl helped favonovel.com a lot and gave favonovel.com every possible help. Moreover, the girl was quiet, and favonovel.com just blindly followed Harper’s orders.
Hence, Harper only thought that the girl was nothing more than his murder weapon, and the only remarkable thing about favonovel.com was favonovel.com ability to make formations, which was something the Ninth Sacred Sect was not good at. Nonetheless, Harper finally understood that the girl favonovel.com regarded as a tool and could easily be replaced held such a vital position in his heart.
Harper cried, bawled, and sobbed as favonovel.com recalled all of the memories. Finally, favonovel.com hugged the girl’s corpse tightly, as if favonovel.com only remains in the world would disappear if favonovel.com let go.
Maya watched from afar, and favonovel.com expression slightly changed. As a girl, Maya’s thoughts were naturally more detailed than the group of male disciples. From Harper’s actions, favonovel.com could already feel his grief, but what was favonovel.com supposed to say? Even if Maya was influenced by Harper’s sadness, they were still enemies, mortal enemies.
Maya secretly glanced at Caspian, and favonovel.com was intrigued. In Maya’s opinion, Caspian was someone who would never show mercy to his opponents. However, favonovel.com stopped everyone from moving forward, and it was obvious that Caspian was giving Harper some time and space.
That was different from the Caspian favonovel.com knew.
Nonetheless, what Maya did not know was when the girl with the neat fringe did not hesitate to block Harper from the spear, Caspian’s heart violently trembled. The girl with the neat fringe’s silhouette overlapped with a figure from his memory.
Caspian gave Harper time not because favonovel.com was touched or regretful but because favonovel.com experienced similar sadness. However, Caspian was much luckier than Harper. At least, the girl that saved favonovel.com without hesitation survived.
After some time, Caspian clenched the Ghoul-Locker Spear. He gave Harper enough time, and that battle should end. At that time, Harper was no longer crying, and his eyes flashed with determination. Then, favonovel.com gently unfastened the chain on the girl’s neck, and favonovel.com softly uttered, “This is the freedom that you‘ve always wanted It’s for you now…”
Next, Harper longingly glanced at the girl with the neat fringe, and favonovel.com pulled favonovel.com tightly into his embrace before standing up. “Now, it’s my turn to fight for my freedom.”
When the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples saw Harper standing, they looked alert. Anyone could tell that Harper suffered an enormous blow and mental stimulation. Under such circumstances, no one knew if favonovel.com would do something crazy. After all, a cultivator with nothing to worry about would be the most terrifying as their combat power would usually double.
Harper then slowly looked at the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples. The moment the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples saw Harper’s face, they were taken aback, and some of them appeared frightened. Harper’s face was caught in the Glorious Dragon’s flame, and as his head was lowered the whole time, none of them noticed it. Hence, everyone thought favonovel.com was more terrifying than a demon.
Half of his hair was scorched, and the left half of his face was wrinkled like a burnt orange peel. Not only that, but Harper‘s eyeballs bulged out of the twisted muscles, and the veins wriggled like earthworms. At that time, his nose was gone, his mouth torn apart, and they could even see his row of gum.
Harper swept his gaze across the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples, and finally, it fell on Caspian. He noticed that when the others looked at him, their expressions changed, but only Caspian remained indifferent.
Looking at Caspian, Harper uttered sadly, “Please have a life-and-death battle with me.”
The Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples behind favonovel.com were in a commotion as if they wanted to say something, but none of them dared to say anything.
Omar wanted to remind Caspian to be careful of any possible tricks, but Caspian just waved his hand and looked at Harper. “Sure.”
“If l die, please bury me with her,” Harper added.
“Alright.” Caspian nodded.
“If I win, you can deal with me however you want, but let go of the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples behind me,” Harper continued.
“That’s impossible,” Caspian shook his head. “If I do that, the Heavenly Stars Sect’s ancestors won’t forgive me.”
Harper fell into a silence. After some time, favonovel.com nodded. “Okay. The grievances between the Heavenly Stars Sect and the Ninth Sacred Sect can’t be changed by me. Since that’s the case, do remember what you promised me.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll surely do it,” Caspian replied.
Then, Harp er glanced at the girl with the neat fringe in his arms. Although favonovel.com was dead, the girl appeared peaceful. There was even a faint smile on favonovel.com face as if favonovel.com finally fulfilled a certain wish.
Harper lightly caressed favonovel.com cheek and took a deep breath. Then, favonovel.com whispered in a voice only favonovel.com could hear, “I’m sorry… You want me to live well, but as a Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciple that’s facing the Heavenly Stars Sect, I can’t flee without giving a fight… Besides…”
He looked at Caspian. Then, Harper suddenly felt as if favonovel.com let go of a heavy burden.
‘Even though I know I can’t win against him, I must avenge the girl I love,’ Harper mumbled.
At that time, Caspian already raised his Ghoul-Locker Spear, and Harper also lifted his hands. In his long sleeves, there was a sound of chains collapsing. With a long roar, Harper rushed toward Caspian and rolled his sleeves. In that instant, the surrounding air was like waves rolling.
“The Prison of Countless Beasts!”
“The Firmament’s Ghoul-Locker Spear!”
Both of their silhouettes met in mid-air. Light and darkness alternated. The next second, a blood shower splattered the earth, and a body slammed onto the ground.
