At the same time, the moment Cole's soul fire was completely extinguished.
"…………"
In the other direction of the bloody battlefield, Ning Feng slowly opened his eyes with his eyes closed while riding on the back of a galloping Pegasus.
Although his eyes sparkle with dazzling golden light at first glance, if you look closely face to face, you will find that there seems to be a layer of dirty scarlet color underneath them.
Angel? Demon?
Both?
...Or, neither?
Perhaps even Ning Feng himself doesn't know what the real answer is.
But he didn't care either.
Whether this power comes from angels or from the abyss, it actually doesn't matter.
As long as it can bring him strength and give him enough ability to protect the future he wants to protect.
It doesn't matter.
The cold eyes gradually became more human, and they were no longer so aloof.
The Pegasus summoned from his crotch did not slow down, but he silently looked back in Shirin's direction, and finally sighed slightly.
well……
His sigh disappeared in the biting wind, floating in the place where countless souls have been buried for thousands of years.
"Returning home..."
A word that countless people yearn for, dream about, but never get.
Although Ning Feng asked Xilin to take Andrew and the others back to the base early, he was not completely relieved.
He kept an extra mind.
In order to prevent Shirin from noticing, Ning Feng hid a soul fragment belonging to Cole in Cole's body to observe and understand the situation over there.
There is a trace of his true spirit in it, which can show his true power when necessary.
However, even he did not expect that his backhand would actually come in handy when he saw such a scene.
The dying warrior uses his life to lead the young warrior out of confusion.
Let my death point the way for you.
A story that is a little sad, but not hopeless at its core.
How to decide who is right and who is wrong?
"well……"
Just closing his eyes again, Ning Feng chanted in a low voice like a babble:
"May your soul finally find its destination in your dream."
May you be able to see the person you expect in your dream.
"I will see you off with victory."
Most definitely.
【Then have you found your destination?】
I thought of the charming voice in my heart, asking softly like a whisper in my ear.
Ning Feng was somewhat used to the devil's questions at this time and was not surprised at all. He had no intention of opening his eyes at all.
My destination?
"I've found it a long time ago. I've found it from the beginning."
In fact, I had the answer to my destination a long time ago.
Many images flashed through his closed eyes.
Those beautiful, bright smiles blooming under the bright sunshine...
【hehe.】
There was a slight smile without sarcasm, and the crisp sound of wind chimes, like some familiar ones, echoed in Ning Feng's heart.
【Now that you have a place to go, why do you still move towards danger?】
"Reason? Is there any need to say it?"
Slowly opening his eyes, Ning Feng squinted and looked at the chaos and darkness ahead, and spoke firmly.
He said:
"Of course it's so that everything will not be disturbed by other people."
"I will not let anyone destroy my destination, not even gods."
I will personally remove all obstacles.
With his legs slightly clamped, the Pegasus' speed increased again after a long hiss, and he tightened his grip on the compass in his hand.
The gold and star marks in the eyes merged again, and seemed to be changing to the third color.
【What result do you desire?】
"Their plot will not succeed."
The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he looked into the distance and whispered;
"Praise to humanity."
…
…
The soldier died returning home.
But he was finally able to rest in peace, which may also be a blessing for Cole.
But for those who survive, it will take time to digest such a shock.
Use time to understand, experience, and think.
Looking at Cole who lowered his head and seemed to be sleeping peacefully, Eberron fell silent.
"…………"
She didn't know what she was thinking in her heart at the moment, and she didn't know how to express the emotion in her heart at the moment.
Faced with such changes, she could not digest the impact of all this for a while.
The ideas I once believed in were rejected by others, and everything I did was just to impress myself.
Should she despair over this?
Although all his efforts were denied, Eberron was not angry or collapsed.
Although Cole rejected Eberron's naive idea, she did get her strength from Cole.
And at the end, this stranger who used his own experience to encourage Eberron and give her strength suddenly revealed his identity.
Aunt Vivian, you must know this man, right?
But now, how can I tell you what is happening in front of me?
He was dead and fell on the way home.
call……
After sniffing and letting out a long breath, Eberron put away the inexplicable sourness in his heart and turned to look at Andrew, who was also silent:
"He passed away."
Cole is dead. Although Eberron is naive, she is not a noble girl who has never seen dead people. She is not familiar with the world.
Although it was difficult to accept, she did not deny Cole's death.
It’s time to let it go, and we can’t continue to be immersed in the sad atmosphere.
"Um."
With a silent sigh, Andrew gritted his teeth slightly and nodded slowly.
"He has died."
Even though there weren't any other enemies at the moment, and even though Cole didn't spend the end of his life fighting, his death brought strength to others.
And this place has always been a battlefield, so he died.
After saying that, Andrew was about to turn around and leave to briefly deal with Cole's funeral affairs.
I can't take him with me on the way home, but I can't let his body be exposed in the wilderness.
"…………"
Squinting at Andrew's heavy but somewhat too calm expression, Eberron suddenly asked a question she would never ask before:
"Did you already know that this would be the result?"
clatter.
Andrew, who turned around with Cole on his back, stopped for a moment before leaving.
"You really do know."
"……Yes."
Since when did you expect such an ending, but you didn't stop it.
"Why didn't you stop him?"
Why just let him die like this?
"...That's what he wanted."
After just saying this, Andrew had no more explanation.
After Cole escaped the first blow, everything was a foregone conclusion.
Being able to dodge like that means that Cole immediately took the forbidden drug hidden in his teeth to stimulate his potential.
From then on, Cole's time was just a countdown, and even stopping him would only be unable to prolong his death.
Andrew can explain in detail, but it is completely meaningless to the current situation and will not let Cole wake up.
He turned his head and showed a polite smile to Eberron. He did not answer, but said:
"We can't stay any longer, it's time to set off."
"you……"
It's okay to just let her misunderstand it like this.
Even if you hate me, that doesn't matter.
Just when the atmosphere between the two was about to reach freezing point...
