Finally … he should be dead, right?
Jian Tong looked at Sauron, who had fallen to the wall and was completely covered by the debris. He was confused.
No one knew better than him how many attacks this young man had suffered during this period of time. He had been bitten by his Engraved Insects, injured by his magic, smashed by falling rocks, and pierced by iron spears. Logically speaking, an ordinary person would have died at least eight to ten times over. Even a first-class magician would not have survived.
But!
This guy had persevered time and time again. He had stood up from where he had fallen. He was obviously just a human, but he had the body of a monster. He was simply … simply immortal!
But now, he could not even feel his breath. He should be dead, right?
He could not possibly stand up again!
Ten seconds … twenty seconds … thirty seconds …
Jian Tong waited for a full thirty seconds, but Sauron did not stand up again. He was finally sure that the other party was dead.
"Hmph, how dare a nameless pawn waste so much of my time …" Jiantong snorted coldly as he turned around with the support of his walking stick. The seedbed that he had traded with Yuanban had been stolen. He would not let this matter rest. He had to get it back!
"If …"
Hmm?!
He had only taken two steps when Jian Tong's expression suddenly changed. He slowly turned his head like a puppet. He looked as if he had seen something unbelievable. His sunken eyes widened in an instant.
"This is impossible!"
"If I am just a nobody, then …" His eyes were like those of a wild beast. Even though his vision was covered by the red blood, it did not drown out his ferocious desire to devour people. The hand that was holding the sword did not waver. The moment he stood up, a powerful slash came pouncing at him like a ferocious tiger, instantly slicing Jian Tong's body open.
"Ah —"
With a face full of blood, Sauron turned around and pointed the tip of his sword at Jian Tong's dirty inkstone, which had almost been cut in half at the waist. He looked down at Jian Tong condescendingly. "So, who are you, the one I cut down?"
"Impossible, you could not have survived …"
Jian Tong struggled to crawl on the ground. The pain on his body was insignificant. What really shocked him was that the man in front of him had survived.
Incomprehensible, completely incomprehensible!
What kind of physique did this man have that allowed him to endure such heavy injuries and not die? He was clearly on the verge of death, yet he was still able to unleash such a powerful slash. This guy … whether it was his willpower or his physical body, they had far surpassed that of a human. He was simply a monster!
"Why are you still alive?" Sauron looked at him indifferently, and then revealed a wild smile. "Indeed, if I were an ordinary person, I would have died a long time ago. But I have decided that I will surpass the man named Eagle Eye and become the world's number one swordsman. I want my name to resound throughout the heavens and reach her side until she can also hear it … Before that, I will not die no matter what!"
"Is this your obsession? I see … "
As if he had understood something, Jian Tong struggled to stand up with the help of his walking stick. He stared at Sauron, and at the same time, his skinny face revealed a heart-palpitating smile. "Haha, not bad, not bad. This obsession is indeed worthy of praise. I have to admit that I have underestimated you, treating you as an ordinary person."
"Although you don't have the talent for magic, your amazing physical soul is one in a million. Even if you search the entire world, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a second human as strong as you. Very good, very good … The talent for magic can be improved, but the physical body is hard to find. I have decided, I will let you replace Xiao Ying and become my new seedbed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless Engraved Insects flew out from the darkness and surrounded Sauron under Jian Tong's control.
"You really are an old man. You say that I am difficult to deal with, but you yourself are a monster!" Sauron bit the hilt of his sword and immediately got into an attacking stance. Although he was already in such a state, there was no hesitation or fear in his eyes when facing such a monster. Instead … he was extremely excited.
When he accepted Tang Hao's request in the chat room, he initially had an indifferent attitude. But now, he was extremely glad that he had made the decision at that time. In such a strange world, facing an unfamiliar power, he was looking forward to seeing what his sword could do.
As long as he could survive this battle, he believed that he would definitely become stronger.
No!
He would definitely survive!
Because that was what they had agreed on. Even if he were to walk on the Path of Asura, he would carry out his own beliefs and surpass them to reach the peak of the world.
"Three Blade Style … Profound — Three Thousand Worlds!"
Boom!
The powerful slash set off a violent whirlwind, and countless Engraved Insects were shattered in an instant.
…
Somewhere in the Belem Castle of Ainz.
A blanket was spread on the ground, and on it was a purple clay teapot and two exquisite teacups. The teapot was still steaming.
"Is only black tea okay?"
"Of course, no problem."
Patchouli filled the teacups, picked up one, and Okita picked up the other. The two of them raised their teacups and looked at each other. There was no need for words from their tacit understanding.
"Friend!"
"Friend!"
The two of them drank the tea in one gulp and then hugged each other tightly. Perhaps because of the intense movement, their lungs suffered a lot of impact, and they coughed again.
They looked at each other and suddenly burst into tears.
"When I was still alive, I was tortured by lung disease and eventually died of it. I thought that I would no longer have to bear this pain when I became a Hero Spirit. I never expected that my weak image would become the deepest impression of the people of later generations. So much so that I was cursed by innocent monsters, and even the Holy Grail couldn't cure me … This setting is so stupid, sigh!"
Okita sighed, and her eyes were full of bitterness. If she had not gone through the torture of this illness, she would definitely laugh at her. But she believed that the person in front of her would definitely not laugh at her.
"I'm the same. I'm already a mature magician, and I can use all kinds of magic with ease. I've taken all kinds of medicine, but I still can't cure this asthma. It's just like my identity as a witch. This is a curse!"
Patchouli showed a sympathetic look, and her desolate expression made people feel pity for her.
As they spoke, the two of them cried at the same time.
"Friend!"
"Friend!"
Then, they hugged each other tightly again.
After a long time, the two separated.
"Come, let's not talk about this sad topic. It's rare to meet a friend who is in the same boat. Let's have a good drink today."
"Okay, let's not stop until we're drunk. Cheers to our friendship!"
"Cheers!"
"… Wait, this doesn't seem to be wine. It's tea."
"Using tea instead of wine shows the true meaning of friendship."
"That makes sense. Let's continue drinking."
"Okay!"
The two of them drank one cup after another, oblivious to the outside world.
As the saying goes, there is true love in the world. If you want to know what will happen next, listen to the next chapter.
