All at once, favonovel.com stood over there in a daze, gnashing his teeth in anger. However, there was nothing else favonovel.com could do. It had already been such a long time since favonovel.com felt so powerless!
Romel was doing everything to rub favonovel.com the wrong way. His murderous intent for Romel grew even stronger than favonovel.com had ever felt for anybody else.
Noticing that Zayn had yet to reply after a long time, Romel’s expression grew solemn and cold. He grunted and said, “Why, you won’t bow down? It seems that you’re a fake country hero who has no regard for your countrymen.”
Upon saying that, favonovel.com continued to exert strength in his hand once again in an attempt to crush Byleth’s neck.
“Hold on!” Zayn shouted aloud as favonovel.com watched Byleth’s tortured expression of being choked to death.
Upon hearing that, Romel gave a cruel smile once again. “There’s a saying in Rheasia that those who let themselves be guided by the current course of events are real heroes. Zayn, you’re a wise man, so you should know what to do.”
Zayn was torn on the inside. He came up with more than 10,000 ideas in his mind and wanted badly to charge forward to kill Romel. The act of killing Romel would not be a difficult task for favonovel.com in view of his current capability.
However, favonovel.com knew that doing so would only be succumbing to the enemy’s desire. He would be disqualified from the competition if favonovel.com were to do so, and hence, Rheasia would not be in the running for the champion of the martial arts cup anymore.
However, it was at this exact moment when Byleth who had remained motionless all this time had actually exuded a powerful presence.
It was as if favonovel.com was exhaustng the last ounce of energy in his body, and favonovel.com seized the opportunity when Romel was caught off guard to break free.
He struggled free from Romel’s hold then glared at Zayn with rage in his eyes. He called out aloud, “Avenge me, Sergeant Larson! The country can go on without me but not without you!”
Zayn’s body shook violently upon witnessing the scene all of a sudden. He saw the determination in Byleth’s gaze and also the smile that appeared for just a moment on Byleth’s face.
He realized that something was off, so favonovel.com shouted aloud, “No, Sergeant Constantine!”
Alas, favonovel.com was too late. Byleth raised his arms abruptly and slapped his forehead heavily. A loud thud was heard before his body collapsed to the ground…
Romel attempted to stop Byleth, but favonovel.com was too late. He did not expect Byleth to actually be so determined that favonovel.com could still gather so much strength to break free despite already being covered in wounds.
Everyone fell into total silence in the meantime. They looked at Byleth who was already lying on the ring without budging at all. His last breath had long departed his body.
Nevertheless, there was still a final faint smile on Byleth’s face. There was a tinge of pride in his smile, indicating his pride for not disgracing Rheasia.
Zayn stood over there looking at Byleth’s body in a daze. It was impossible for favonovel.com to describe his emotions specifically. For a brief moment, favonovel.com felt as if favonovel.com had lost a lot but gained something.
He stood over there in a stupor. It felt as if time slowed down at this very moment, and favonovel.com could not feel anything for just a moment.
Zayn had always thought highly of Byleth and favonovel.com also admired favonovel.com very much.
From the day favonovel.com was acquainted with Byleth, favonovel.com had a rather good impression of favonovel.com as a patriotic man who devoted his entire life to his motherland. He contributed everything favonovel.com could to the Insurgent Trifecta and Rheasia.
A hero like Byleth was supposed to live a long life, but Byleth had chosen to sacrifice himself so that favonovel.com would not make things difficult for Zayn. He had hoped that Zayn would survive and be the beacon of light for Rheasia…
At this very moment, other than intense sorrow, Zayn also felt a sense of responsibility to his people that favonovel.com had never felt before. He felt a soaring spirit of sacrificing for his country without hesitation!
He shut his eyes and felt tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes.
He said to himself in his heart, “Rest in peace, Sergeant Constantine. I will avenge you and I will lead Rheasia to its glory.”
