Within the Great Labyrinth, the terrain near the Labyrinth Hall had completely changed. The houses on both sides of the street had collapsed due to the shockwave. Soldiers from both sides were struggling in the dust, and the flat street had turned into a sandy flat.
The power of Luo Ya and Vader's all-out attack was far beyond anyone's imagination. A huge cloud of dust rushed into the sky like a flying dragon. It took a long time for the dust to settle.
There was only one person left standing at the center of the explosion. It was the figure of a black-haired youth. Luo Ya endured the burden on his body and walked forward. He saw Vader lying on the ground.
Vader had been defeated in this direct clash of power. He was too injured. Gulan Daer was worried about Luo Ya's situation, so the attack he released was actually just to cancel out Vader's attack. However, that was enough. Vader, who had lost most of his magic essence, would self-destruct.
"You, you're clearly using the power of a pagan religion. Why did you stop me?"
The golden-haired prince was lying on the ground covered in blood. He could no longer stand up. When he overdrew his life to advance to Source-Rank 2, he was destined to not be able to fight hard. Luo Ya's appearance did not defeat him. Strictly speaking, he had defeated himself.
Luo Ya, who knew this, did not assume the posture of a victor. He dragged his tired body and walked to Vader. There was no contempt in his eyes when he looked at Vader. Instead, there was respect. He thought for a long time and said slowly, "There are many reasons.
"There are many reasons. For example, I feel that in this era, starting a war and unifying the world is far less practical than expanding the range of human activities. But the biggest reason … If you were given a chance to protect the people close to you by picking up a sword, would you let it go?"
As Luo Ya spoke, he raised his head and looked at a golden figure who was rushing over. It was Nuo Aier who had withstood the shockwave with a protective curse item. The golden-haired girl heard Luo Ya's words and stopped in her tracks. She met Vader's gaze.
"Heh, so that's how it is … It seems that we are the same kind of people."
Spirit, will, and righteousness were indeed the most important things to unite a person's heart. However, on a personal level, friendship, love, and family were often the things that could stimulate a person's potential the most. From another point of view, these were even the foundation of the former.
"… Unfortunately, when someone close to me was in danger, I couldn't pick up that knife. By the time I could, she was already gone."
As Luo Ya listened to Vader's lamentation, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart. He looked at the prince who had devoted his life to erasing the tragedy of the past, the vanguard of the revolution, and the tyrant who had implicated many innocent people and caused their deaths. He felt that Vader was really complicated, and it was difficult to judge his merits and demerits.
However, there was one thing that Luo Ya was certain of.
"Although you didn't succeed, I still think you're a king."
"Oh? Are you clearly against me? "
"I acknowledge your talent and spirit, but oppose your ideas and ambitions."
"Tsk, so that's how it is. You're really a rebellious minister … Little girl, you're probably going to have a hard time in the future."
Vader smiled as he looked at Nuo Aier who had walked to Luo Ya's side to support him. The girl didn't know how to respond to his profound words. The prince looked at the two of them and suddenly felt the burning anger in his heart that had been burning ever since Mary's death slowly dissipating.
These two children, maybe they can do better than me? If this boy's strength is added together with Heathcliff's …
As Vader thought about this, a relieved expression slowly appeared on his face. Then, under the gazes of the two people, he closed his eyes.
[Witness goal achieved. Remaining time in countdown: 4 hours and 22 minutes]
[Evaluation: Perfect (2/2)]
"Luo Ya, what's wrong?"
When he saw the word "Perfect" in the system, Luo Ya finally lost all his strength. His body swayed and was about to fall, but Nuo Aier, who had discovered him in time, pulled him back.
"No, nothing … Okay, something's wrong. I can't stand anymore."
Luo Ya, who had no strength left, hung onto Nuo Aier's body. He laid on the girl's shoulder and almost couldn't feel his body anymore.
The side effects of the Gulan Daer's strength were too strong. Luo Ya's consciousness had begun to blur. He even suspected that he would close his eyes and kick his legs like Vader.
Smelling the unique fragrance of an angel, Luo Ya forced himself to look at the system and saw a new message.
[Countdown to return: 4 minutes and 42 seconds]
Seeing the new countdown, Luo Ya breathed a sigh of relief. After three days of hardships, Luo Ya and Nuo Aier could finally leave this place safely. When he received the news, he felt tears welling up in his eyes.
Before coming to this godforsaken place, Luo Ya could be said to have lived a sheltered life. At most, he would punch children. In all fairness, this experience was really too difficult for him. However, in order to protect Nuo Aier and awaken his bloodline, he forced himself to endure through one obstacle after another.
More than four minutes was probably not enough time to say goodbye to Ponte and the others. However, there was a ban on talking here, so he probably couldn't say goodbye.
