Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 848 Never Ending

Kronos Island, the trembling earth shrouded by thunderclouds.

The eyes of the Thunder Dragon, with thunder wrapped all over its body, revealed visible cruelty, a kind of human hatred.

Ying was slightly startled when he noticed this and turned to look at Saphir: "Is this dragon intelligent?"

"Of course, can it be called a dragon without wisdom?" Saphir said as a matter of course.

After hearing this, Ying frowned slightly. It was not that dragons could not be intelligent, but this matter was a bit sensitive.

As a new creature, if it has no wisdom, it is no different from a beast. Under the grand proposition of survival, it has almost no competitiveness.

But if it has intelligence, then we need to consider the attitude of the dragon clan. It would not be good if a highly intelligent dragon was being used as an experimental material and slaughtered here by other dragons.

Ying knew very well that both Apep and Navilette were paying attention to Saphir.

"You need to be careful. This thing cannot be exposed, or it will bring disaster." Ying kindly reminded.

After hearing this, Saphir was willing to look away from the surveillance screen and turned to look at Ying, who was looking serious. "Before you came, Naberis was here. Do you think she wouldn't be aware of this little guy's existence?"

It was a bit incongruous to call the Thunder Dragon a little guy considering the size of Saphir, but Ying didn't dwell on it because she was a little confused by Naberis's attitude.

The ruling party of life agreed with Safir’s approach…

Did the Four Shadows still hate the Dragon Clan? Was that true? But…it was true that the Dragon Clan and Heavenly Principle had a grudge against each other, but Heavenly Principle ultimately prevailed. Was it really necessary for the victor to resent the loser?

Saphir understood Ying's strange look, smiled, and said, "A highly intelligent soul is not that easy to cultivate. In such a short time, even I can only cultivate a body. It is almost impossible for it to give birth to itself."

"You mean..." A guess came to Ying's mind.

Saphir raised his index finger and placed it on his lips: "Shh! This is my little secret, how can I reveal it casually?"

But even if she didn't say it, Ying already understood that if it wasn't a soul that was born by itself, then it was forced in.

People like this usually have a grudge against Safir, which is why she treats them like this and makes them endure the endless pain of being hunted.

"So... what did that guy do? Such a huge vengeance." Ying was a little curious. How big a vengeance must it be to be retaliated like this? Not only was he dying, but he also had to keep dying, keep suffering, and never reach the true state of death.

Safir pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then smiled brightly: "How could there be any hatred? I'm just venting my anger on behalf of those he killed."

Boethius destroyed Lemuria, and even though it was later proved that someone else would have done it even without him, the destruction of Lemuria was inevitable.

But who made Boethius do these things?

No matter how much Saphir looked down on Remus, Remus was the king who founded Lemuria. From this point of view, he was on par with Saphir, Zhongli and others.

Therefore, the king cannot be humiliated, and the betrayer must fall into hell and endure endless pain.

After briefly recounting his experiences in the Old Sea, Saphir asked, "Do you think what I did was excessive?"

"Well...if one day in the future, Inazuma is destroyed because of something similar, I might feel annoyed. But if the scale of time is infinitely extended, no matter how eternal the kingdom is, it will only be a moment, and this feeling of annoyance will fade a lot." Ying felt a little complicated.

After thinking for a long time, she said, "If it were me, I wouldn't encourage those who come after me to seek revenge for this country that has long since turned into a graveyard and its corrupt king, but I also wouldn't think there's anything wrong with doing so."

"Really? I don't encourage it, but I won't stop it either. That's why I do this." Saphir spread his hands. "It's a lie to say I'm avenging Remus, but I can't stand this bug jumping around in front of me and even spouting nonsense. I'm a petty person."

"You know it but you still show it. I really don't know whether to say you are frank or sinister." Ying found it a little funny. This guy Saphir always did some anthropomorphic things. He even called himself a god and didn't feel ashamed of picking on an ordinary person.

But... forget it, this is the real her. If one day Saphir becomes indifferent to everything, truly lets go of everything in the world, and doesn't care at all, Ying will be worried instead, because an existence without constraints and ties is uncontrollable and unpredictable, and anything can happen.

Ying didn't want Safir to become like that, it would make her feel unfamiliar, and she didn't want to lose such a good friend.

During the battle, the Thunder Dragon realized that its tail was broken and began to get scared, because it had been like this before. Whether it was a Frog or a Flame Tail Dragon, a break somewhere in its body meant that the fire of life was gradually extinguished.

During this time, it has felt the terrifying self-healing ability of the dragon's body. Under normal circumstances, even if it is injured, it can heal itself quickly. However, a broken body means that the self-healing ability has completely failed. Why does the self-healing ability fail?

Because vitality has been exhausted, in other words, life is about to come to an end.

It was scared. It didn't want to die, and it didn't want to die again and again.

Boethius thought that it was a mistake for Saphir to stuff him into the body of the Thunder Dragon this time.

He could feel the exploding power and seemingly inexhaustible vitality within his body; he even felt that he was invincible.

But... he was obviously overthinking it. From the moment he fell into Saphir's hands, his future was doomed to be dark. In other words, he had no future at all. It would be better for him to die.

The last person who received a similar treatment was Gabriel's former friend Samel. His soul was also imprisoned, and he was still by Jade's side. From time to time, Jade would take him to Xier to cooperate with some alchemical experiments.

Jade showed no mercy to the murderer of her mother.

The only difference between Boethius and Samel is that Samel suffers pain at the soul level and has no power to resist, while Boethius suffers more physical pain and although it seems that he can resist, it is actually meaningless.

Just a lamb to be slaughtered.

The Thunder Dragon spread its wings and staggered into flight, beginning to look for a way to escape.

It flew forward along the road that led away from the trembling earth, hoping that there would be an exit ahead that would allow it to leave this damn place.

However, it was destined to be disappointed, because Kronos Island had an indestructible sister, and it also had an illusion function. No matter how it flew, it was destined to land on Kronos Island in the end.

When Fushe and his group saw it flying, they immediately followed it and approached the direction it was fleeing.

Chasing after the Huang Leilong, Fushe frowned, "Have you ever encountered a situation where your prey escaped before?"

"It's normal to move when hunting. Brother Fushe doesn't need to feel pressured." At this time, Aragaki Ichido had completely regarded Fushe as a brother because of his strength, and his attitude was very cordial.

Xiao Gong also explained: "We often encounter this kind of thing when we hunt dragons. It may be due to their habits. They will fall into a deep sleep when they escape to a place they think is safe, so there is no need to worry."

Fushe nodded slightly when he heard this. He thought this hunting would end in failure.

In fact, this sleep is also a restriction set by Saphir. After leaving the battle, the dragon species will feel irresistible sleepiness due to their self-healing instinct.

In essence, this is indeed a way for dragons to repair themselves, but considering the current situation, it would be an unwise move to cut off their lifeline.

Boethius had no way to resist this, as the instinct of sleepiness could not be overcome by willpower.

What happened next was obvious. The Thunder Dragon, which had fled in panic, fell into a deep sleep and was found. Then the vigorous hunting began again.

The Huang Lei Long, which had just fallen into a deep sleep and was forced to wake up, naturally could not offer any effective resistance and was beaten to death.

Fushe cut off the opponent's head with the last blow, declaring that this hunting was a great victory.

Saphir watched indifferently as everything was settled, silently making hand gestures. The soul belonging to Boethius was once again absorbed by Phobos in the black volcano, waiting for the next release.

Phobos, which he once took pride in and used to toy with all living beings, eventually became a shackle that imprisoned him.

On the other side, Ying and his group met a group of paper frogs rehearsing in a fairy tale world.

As they approached, one of the more grumpy paper frogs, named Firecracker, was grumbling to another faded paper frog, "Xiquan! You're playing the wrong beat again! If you keep this up, even if the Ink Tavern opens, our band won't be able to open!"

"Uh... I'm so sorry..." Xiquan apologized with great remorse.

A few people passing by knew that it was time for the enthusiastic little friend to come on stage.

Nilu was the first to go over. After all, this forest was her home, and as the fairy in the prophecy, she had to take responsibility.

Walking up to the paper frogs, Nilu started to talk: "Um... I hope I didn't disturb your practice."

Paimon then recognized the faded paper frog: "Isn't this the paper frog we met on the road just now?"

"Eh? It's Lady Fairy and Lord Brave Man! Oh! For the sake of lotus leaves and dewdrops, Xiquan, you have to sing a few good songs!" Baozha tried to cheer Xiquan up in this way.

But unfortunately, fading has nothing to do with personal wishes. Some psychological suggestions and help will not be effective unless there is external help.

"But...I..." Xiquan probably realized this problem, so he didn't have much confidence and just muttered with his head down.

Krevy looked at it deeply, then turned to the firecrackers: "No need to be so formal. Are you rehearsing a performance?"

"Yes, as you can see, our choir specializes in singing for the guests at the Ink Tavern." Firecracker enthusiastically introduced himself and his companions. "Although we were unemployed for a while after the tavern closed, we heard yesterday that the Forest Fairy and the Brave Man were coming, so we excitedly gathered together again, hoping that we could finally sing again."

Hearing this, Nilu couldn't help but laugh: "I understand how you feel. During the Grand Bazaar, everyone in the Zubair Troupe was also busy like this."

The dancer Nilu is most familiar with this kind of resident singing job. After all, singing and dancing are inseparable, and there are resident singers in the Grand Bazaar.

"Grand Bazaar? Are there people singing on lotus leaves there too?" Firecracker was obviously very interested.

Nilu chuckled and nodded. "Yes, and it's a very large lotus leaf. You are the conductor of this orchestra, right? I always feel that your temperament is somewhat similar to Mr. Zubair's."

If the stage of the Grand Bazaar is considered a lotus leaf, then it is not wrong for them to say that they are singing and dancing on the lotus leaf.

As for the resemblance between Zubair and this paper frog…

All I can say is that this girl made a lot of mistakes during rehearsal, so Baozhao's tone when scolding Xiquan made her look so friendly. After all... the tone of scolding is always the same.

"Oh, then he must be as ambitious as I am, and live up to the expectations of the audience on every lotus leaf. But now..." Firecracker tried to make up for his attitude, and then hinted at the current situation.

Xiquan was dejected, knowing full well that all this was due to his own fault.

"Mr. Xiquan, is there anything we can help you with?" What the paper frogs could perceive, Nilu could naturally perceive as well, not to mention that they already knew what fading meant to these origami creatures.

Being questioned by the forest fairy, Xiquan was very nervous and didn't want to trouble Nilu and her group: "Oh no, this is all... my own problem...

During the time when the pub was closed, I seemed to have suddenly forgotten how to sing. I couldn’t keep up with everyone’s rhythm and was often out of tune…”

Firecracker was also very puzzled by this. He said unwillingly, "You are obviously the ace of our band and the one who sings the best."

"I know, I know, but... Alas..." Xiquan was very conflicted and helpless. It didn't want to become like this, but it had no choice.

It was as if he was cursed and he was completely unable to struggle.

Paimon and Ying exchanged a glance: "This is probably due to the fading."

Ying nodded. It was obvious that this was the case. Fading was equivalent to wear and tear. Amnesia was still a mild condition. In severe cases, people might even lose their minds and go crazy.

Nilu sighed softly, but quickly recovered and said softly, "Mr. Xiquan, please don't be sad. I've forgotten important dance steps before, and at times like these, my companions from the Grand Bazaar are always there to encourage me.

Everyone smiled, patiently told me it was okay, played the melody over and over again, and helped me find my memories... Now, let us help you too."

"That's right! Isn't it just singing? Ying has a strong sense of rhythm, we can help you keep the beat." Paimeng suggested immediately.

Upon hearing this, Firecracker also thought this was a good idea: "Hey, I think it's a good idea. You just focus on singing the lyrics, and let the Fairy Lady and the others take care of the rhythm!"

"Is this... really possible? I'm sorry to trouble you all..." Xiquan felt very embarrassed, but there seemed to be no better way than this now.

Nilu nodded, indicating that it was okay. "Don't worry, Mr. Xiquan. I'm looking forward to having your beautiful singing accompaniment when the Twilight Tavern opens."

"Okay! Thank you. Then I'll try it now!" Seeing this, Xiquan was no longer shy. It was the one who most wanted the performance to be successful.

So, the group started another round of rehearsals.
