Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 547: Will

It's hot.

That was because there were flames burning beneath his feet. The flames that flew up were reflected in Allen's eyes. After he regained some consciousness, Allen's eyes were filled with raging flames. Flames rose and twisted in space, forming all sorts of wondrous patterns. A thick sensation came from his feet. He lowered his head and saw that a thick piece of blood was slowly flowing through his feet. It winded into the distance, forming a bloody path.

The path of blood and flames formed the path of burning blood.

At this moment, the flames gradually lowered, allowing Alan to see the end of the bloody path, the Throne that had been dubbed Destruction. The curtain of fire, which was leaning against the seat, was constantly spraying into the air, connecting with the darkness of the sky. The curtain of fire was like a pillar, and the pillar of fire that connected the heavens and the earth became the most obvious dao symbol in this world.

As the pillars of fire rushed into the sky, one could see circles of fire clouds looming in the sky. However, the sky above Allen's head was still pitch black and deep. It looked like an abyss that was bottomless and empty. That kind of desolation and emptiness gave Alan a different feeling. The almost eternal black universe seemed to be able to hold everything, including the entire universe?

This time, he seemed to have spent more time on the path of burning blood than last time, so Alan could observe that a face would occasionally appear in the slowly flowing blood. When a face appeared on the bloodline, Alan would always hear some unknown roars. He had a feeling that those faces were the victims of the bloodline. If so, is the blood path constructed from the victim's blood?

He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

If that was the case, how long had this bloody path existed, and how many victims' blood were in it? If he hadn't killed Seagris in the end, would he have become a part of the bloodline as well?

At this moment, an indescribable feeling surfaced in his heart. Alan looked back and saw that there were still five carved patterns floating in the bloody path behind him. A few figures could be vaguely seen beneath the five seals. They had men and women, but they could only see a rough outline, and could not see their appearances clearly.

Allen knew that the bloodline was strengthening the connection between the candidates and eventually allowing them to meet and kill each other. When the bloody path opened, the threads of fate had already connected them together.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Suddenly, a young girl's voice sounded from behind him. Alan turned his head. She first saw a pair of blue pupils, then Lily's childish face. By the time he regained his senses, the path of burning blood had long since disappeared. He could clearly see that he was in a room, which looked like a bedroom. Lily sat cross-legged on the bed and saw Ellen roll her eyes. She cheered and jumped out of the bed and said, "Great, you're finally awake! Give me two thousand cream cakes!"

"What?" Alan couldn't react for a moment.

It wasn't until Alan found out what the so-called two thousand cream cakes were that he was at a loss as to whether to laugh or cry, "This isn't a problem, but how do you take it away? I don't think I can keep it in the sea."

"That's true." '"Maybe I'll eat everything before I leave," Lily thought seriously.

Ellen shook her head. Lily was still a child, completely different from when she was dealing with Seagris. At this moment, Ellen remembered to ask, "Why is His Highness Lily here?"

"I almost forgot if you didn't tell me!" Lily suddenly jumped back into bed and grabbed Ellen. "Tell me, who are you! Why are you able to create the undying?" She said.

"Immortal? What is that?"

"That's … Eh?" Lily suddenly realized that there was a faint black patch on Ellen's chest. It was the residual shadow energy. She raised her small fist and said, "Don't move. Let me punch you. This punch is free!"

Before Alan could refuse, His Highness's fist had already smashed into his chest. Alan immediately felt the Origin Energy in his body tremble, and began to move in a regular pattern that would never appear in the ordinary world. The Origin Energy was imitating the way the ocean vortex moved, but the rotation of the Origin Energy was going in the direction of the clock, resulting in a natural repulsive force. He gathered the remaining shadow energy in his body and expelled it.

"Wow!" Allen spat out a mouthful of blood under the bed. Large patches of black plaques in his blood were expelled from his body. After expelling the remaining energy, Alan felt his entire body relax. It was true that Lily's efficiency was extremely high, but this method was too tyrannical. However, Alan was deeply impressed by the power of the whirlpool that was ten percent complete and incapable of resisting. He also had some understanding of the way Lily used her Origin Energy.

"Relax. You're lucky that those dirty things didn't get into your heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to help you. The other one would be miserable. In my opinion, he would only be alive for another month or two at most."

"Another one?" "Who is it?" Alan wiped the blood from his mouth.

"How would I know? I brought them back from the woods with you anyway."

Alan immediately jumped up, "Ouban? You mean Earl Ouban?"

He immediately jumped out of bed and felt as if his entire body was about to fall apart. The linen pants that he had just changed into immediately turned red, but all the wounds on his body split open and blood oozed out.

"Idiot, your injuries haven't healed yet!" Lily said with a gloating expression, "I only have one Bluesea Heavenly Heart with me. I've already let you use it before. There's nothing unnecessary now. If you don't recover from this injury for ten and a half days, you won't be able to recover."

Alan smiled bitterly, but he couldn't sit still. Thus, he carefully moved as lightly as possible and walked out of the room. '"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet, you rude bastard!" Lily's voice came from behind.

As soon as they arrived at the corridor, they happened to bump into Oru. The baron, who had already decided to join Allen's team, was surprised and delighted when he saw this. "Lord Allen, it's great that you're awake. But now, you should stay in bed for a few more days. At least let the wounds heal before getting out of bed and walking."

"Sir Oru, how is Earl Orban?" Alan asked anxiously as he was anxious to know about Ou Ban's situation.

Oru's face darkened and he shook his head, "Very bad. Earl Oban is seriously injured. The doctors in my territory are at a loss. Miss Jorah is going to bring the Earl back to Ark Harbor to be treated."

"Take me to see him."

Opening the door to Ou Ban's room, Alan encountered a strong smell of medicine, as well as a smell of blood. Ou Ban was lying on the bed, as if he was sleeping with his eyes closed. Ruola sat beside him on the edge of the bed. Several maids were washing the Count's body, and the bandages were covered with shocking bloodstains. The bloodstains were dark red, and there were black spots of varying sizes on them.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ruo La looked up. Seeing that it was Ellen, she hurriedly leaned in Ou Ban's ear and said, "Big brother, Ellen is here."

Ou Ban opened his eyes. His face was yellow and his eyes were sunken. "Help me up," he whispered, without the usual expression in his eyes.

He helped Ou Ban up and padded him with a few soft pillows. Oban waved his hand and said, "You all go down. I have something to talk to Sir Allen."

Ruo La looked at Ou Ban, who closed his eyes, obviously insisting. She could only gesture for the maid to take the change away and leave the room with Oru. Alan sat down on the chair beside the bed and smiled bitterly, "I've implicated you this time, count."

Ou Ban opened his eyes again. "What does that mutant have to do with you?"

"He's my brother." Alan looked at the man on the bed who was so angry that he knew that Ou Ban's life force was leaving him without checking. Just like Lily said, Ou Ban is not going to live long. At a time like this, Ellen didn't want to hide anything from him.

However, upon hearing Alan's answer, Ou Ban still looked at Alan in surprise, "But you …"

"That's right, I'm a human like you. That's complicated. In short, Seguris is here for me, but he implicated the count." Alan said in a low voice, "I have a responsibility for this."

Ou Ban's eyes suddenly lit up. His eyes shone with a majestic divine light. "Then Sir Allen, how are you going to shoulder this responsibility?"

Ellen smiled bitterly. "To be honest, I don't know. If the count needs my help, I'll do my best to help you."

'"Actually, it's not all your fault. No one knew that such a thing would happen. Besides, if it weren't for Alan, Daniel alone wouldn't have killed me. You saved me and implicated me, so let's call it even. However, I really have something to ask of you," Ou Ban said with a smile.

"Tell me."

Ou Ban looked out of the window, his eyes revealing an infinite longing for life. "I know my condition. If Ruo La wants to take me back to Ark Harbor, it will only take a while. Sir Alan, I will make a will when I return to let my eldest son, Gills, inherit my title and wealth. I hope you can be a witness at that time," he said.

Alan nodded. Ou Ban was afraid that after his death, Giles would lose his wings and his position of power would be spied on by others. If Ellen, a powerful knight, was a witness, some people would suspect Orban's will, which was akin to questioning Ellen's prestige. It could also be considered as making some necessary arrangements for his son's escort.

'Gills is not like me. He has no ambitions. He is a child and has a lot to learn. I hope Sir Allen will take care of him for me. I will make it clear in my will that Gills will only defend his original territory and inheritance and not expand unnecessarily. As for the rest, I think Sir Allen will manage well.' Ou Ban smiled.

Alan sighed to himself. Orban's arrangement was not so much a will for Gills as an expression of his feelings. The count clearly meant that Gills would only inherit his former territory. As for everything in Daniel's territory, it was entirely up to Alan. This was done only for the sake of Ann Allen's heart, but also to protect her son. Otherwise, if Orban died, Gills would have to accept Allen's territory, which would only incur Allen's blow.

At that time, not to mention Daniel's territory, even Ouban's inheritance would fall into Alan's pocket.
