"Spenak!"
Frius' voice came from the rolling fog. In the pitch-black fog, the Black Emperor angrily slashed out with his sword. The Lightless Longsword tore through the thick fog. Even though they surged forward after being separated, it did not prevent Frius from slashing out hundreds of black flames with his sword. They were like fireworks blooming in rows as they pierced through the air. The flowing fire streaked through the thick fog, and wherever the flames passed, the thick fog was completely erased. However, they quickly filled the gap again. The flowing fire collided and exploded from time to time as it flew, but Frius could no longer feel them. In the black fog of the Demon King, his perception had never been chaotic before.
This was the terror of the power of chaos. Even a Sovereign would be affected by it.
"Spenak, get the hell out here. You bastard, you only know how to hide in the darkness every time. You refuse to fight fair and square every time. Just how long are you going to hide?!" Frius roared and slashed out a few more times. The sword pierced through the air, but unfortunately, the thick fog could never be dispersed. In the blink of an eye, the part that was torn apart by the sword Qi was filled up again.
However, this time, Frius' roar finally had a response. Spenak's deep voice sounded from behind him, "I can't understand, Frius, why do you hate me so much?"
"Of course you won't understand." Frius suddenly turned around and slashed with his sword, but when the blade of the sword slashed across, there was only a feeling of emptiness.
The Demon King's voice was near and far.
"I'm not going to understand either. Whatever you think, I don't have any intention of defeating you. As long as I can drag you here, that's enough."
"That's why I hate you the most. Why won't you come out and fight me, Spenak? You old fellow will always be like this!"
Spenak's faint laughter rang out from the fog.
Frius knew it was futile, but he still slashed in the direction of the laughter and said, "I come from a village called Ridell. You probably haven't heard of it."
"I've never heard of it."
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have walked out of that village. Because there are people there who are worthy of me staying … "Frius said in a deep voice," That was a long time ago. At that time, I was just a wandering mercenary … "
A long time ago, there was only one empire on Agares. The newly established Specter Kingdom was in a period of rapid expansion. The army and mercenaries went on expeditions everywhere, expanding the empire's territory for Spenak. At that time, Frius, who was only a mercenary, was seriously injured in a war and ended up in a small village. At that time, Agares was full of small villages like this, and only the Kingdom of Shadow had very few cities.
He fainted near the village, and when he woke up, he saw a pretty face.
That was the first time he met her, Dolly Minilla.
However, their first meeting wasn't pleasant. When he opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar face, Frius's first reaction was to grab his sword. Of course, he didn't find anything. Not to mention the sword, even his armor, clothes, shoes, and gloves were all taken off. Then he instinctively reached out and grabbed the woman's neck. The woman was still holding a needle and thread in her hand. She said calmly, "Are you going to strangle me to death, or do you want me to sew up your last wound?"
Upon hearing this, Frius noticed that his body was covered in stitched wounds.
"Did you do this?"
He asked.
The woman continued to sew up his wounds. "There should be no one in this village who can deal with your injuries other than me. I really shouldn't have saved you. I know you're a mercenary. You people go to war everywhere, and you leave behind only sad memories and wounds that can never be filled. "
"Then why did you save me?" Frius asked again. He thought she probably wanted something from him.
The woman looked at him and said, "Because you're still alive. When I got you back and treated your wounds, I realized you were a mercenary."
"Then you can throw me back."
"I can't do it. I can't just watch you die. So get your hands off me and let me finish this goddamn job, then get the hell out of here. "
Frius smiled. What an interesting woman, he thought.
After that, the woman skillfully sewed up his last wound. After treating these wounds, she bandaged Frius's entire body, using herbs she had made herself. Three days later, Frius was able to get out of bed, so his sword and armor were pushed out of the house by the woman.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Frius knocked on the door. "Hey, you haven't told me your name yet."
"Forget it. I don't want you to remember me."
Frius whispered, "But I've already remembered you."
He left, but a few days later, he returned to the village and the woman's house. He knocked on the door, and the woman opened it. Seeing that it was him, she immediately closed the door. Frius continued knocking. "I'm dying. You have to save me."
Seeing the bone-deep wound on Frius's back, the woman frowned. "Did you do it on purpose?"
"God, who would deliberately let themselves suffer such an injury?"
It took her the entire afternoon to treat the wound. Frius rested in the small house for five days. On the sixth day, he was kicked out by the woman again. Just as he was about to leave, the woman said from inside the house, "My name is Dolly."
Frius smiled. "Why did you tell me your name?"
"When I went shopping the day before yesterday, I heard that a group of bandits had come for our village, but they were all killed by a man. That man was you, right? "
Frius grinned. "There's no need to thank me. I saw it on the way. You're a good doctor. It would be a pity if you died at the hands of bandits. "
"I only told you my name, but I didn't say I wanted to thank you. Where did the bandits come from? You guys fought everywhere, causing many homeless people to lose their homes. That's why there are bandits. Leave quickly and don't come back again. "
"Okay."
Frius left. This time, he participated in a town assault. It was more than a month after the battle ended. When he returned to the village covered in wounds again, the village was holding a wedding. When Frius arrived at Dolly's house, he was told that Dolly was going to marry a man in town. Frius's mind went blank. When he came back to his senses, he found himself at the wedding venue.
The newlyweds were about to exchange wreaths, which was a tradition in Agares. After the exchange of wreaths, the wedding was considered complete. Just as they were about to exchange wreaths, a sword flashed and nailed the two wreaths to the wall.
Dolly and the man turned around and saw Frius, who said through gritted teeth, "You can't marry him!"
Dolly frowned. "Why?"
"Because you're mine!" Frius shouted as he rushed forward and picked up Dolly. Ignoring her punches and kicks, he snatched her away.
They left the village, and in an uninhabited valley, Frius put her down. Strangely, Dolly didn't resist. Instead, she laughed. Frius was confused. "Aren't you going to beat and scold me?"
"No need, that was just for show." Dolly snorted and said, "How can you be so domineering as to snatch me away from the wedding?"
"I don't know. I was hot-headed, and I …" Frius wanted to say something, but Dolly walked up and sealed his mouth with her lips.
Everything that happened next made sense.
As the two of them lay in the cave in each other's arms, Frius asked her, "Don't you hate me?"
"You're wrong again." Dolly laughed. "I just drove you away. I didn't say I didn't like you."
"If you like me, why did you drive me away?" Frius looked at her.
She said seriously, "Because I want to live a peaceful life and fall in love with a mercenary. God knows what I'll find. So after you left, I immediately agreed to his proposal. I think if I'm already married before you come back, then I can give up on myself. "
Frius hugged her and said, "Fortunately, I'm back."
Dolly shook her head. "Maybe it's better if you don't come back."
"Nonsense!"
The two of them laughed.
On the third day, Dolly returned to the village to pack up, and then they left. They came to a village called Ridell, which was far from the battlefield, and Frius was no longer a mercenary. He put down his sword and picked up an axe and saw instead. They lived there for three years. The past three years had been a sweet dream for Frius. Unfortunately, he would wake up from the dream one day.
That day, Frius went to the mountains to cut down trees as usual. Dolly would have delivered lunch at noon. But when it was time, the woman still hadn't come. Somewhat worried, Frius packed up his tools and left early. When he pushed a cart of wood out of the forest and arrived at the high slope behind the village, Frius was stunned. The entire village was burning, but no one was crying. There was only the crackling sound of the flames burning the wood. Frius rushed down the slope and ran into the village. There were corpses everywhere, and he was shocked. By the time he got home, the wooden house he had built by himself was burning fiercely. Frius crashed into the flames and saw her in the kitchen.
She was on the ground, a sword in her chest, and a lunch box in her hand.
A moment later, a man howled like a wounded wolf from the wooden house.
Dolly was dead, and Frius had buried her with his own hands. When he left the village, he tightly gripped a flag. It was the war flag of the Kingdom of Specter, and it had been planted in the village square.
Frius became a mercenary again, then joined the army of the Kingdom of Specter, then became a general, and finally a Great General.
When he became an Imperial Great General, he finally reached the final stage of his revenge.
"But you didn't give me a chance. Even after I became an Imperial Great General, I still had very few chances to see you. Just like you are now, you always hide yourself in the shadows. Sometimes, I don't even know if you're really there behind the black fog in the hall of shadows! "
Frius roared, "So I knew that just being a Great General wasn't enough to force you out of that black fog. So I left you, I became the Autarch, I founded Dobia. And all of this was to fight you! "
