Chapter 391: Chapter 270: The Last Chance_3

"One can only say it’s truly worthy of being an absolutely forbidden characteristic."

Mephit has actually gathered three of the most taboo characteristics, which is indeed commendable.

No wonder the people with the Taboo Armament are so wary of him.

Rod said half-jokingly, "I’m starting to wonder if you really are the Son of Destruction."

Mephit spoke calmly, "The Soul Masters say that if the prophecy is true, the most dangerous characteristic capable of destroying the Royal City is the Dark Soul. Once a soul completes its darkening, it may establish a connection with the great terror in the nether and thus trigger an unknown disaster."

"Next is mind control, if I were to control certain key individuals, it could deal a devastating blow to the Royal City."

"Lastly, there’s Cold Ice, which is the only characteristic I can use. Although Cold Ice can extinguish fire, a strong flame is not so easily snuffed out, let alone the Holy Fire that burns countless Firewood."

Rod nodded.

This judgement was correct, and if he was to help Mephit break free from the shackles of destiny, he should start from this perspective.

The two chatted as they walked and quickly toured Star Town.

This town, brimming with prosperity and life, rendered Mephit slightly dazed. Not long ago, this place was nothing but desolate and silent, home to monsters and lifeless things shrouded in Black Fog.

Yet, what she saw now was a town both steeped in historical sediment and bursting with vibrant vitality, like tender new shoots blossoming from ancient, withered branches.

The bustling crowds, the numerous busy figures, the faces shining like gemstones under the light of the fire, made Mephit momentarily forget her own identity as if she had returned to her childhood.

Back then, she lived carefree, harboring beautiful expectations for the future.

But reality brutally shattered her dreams.

After countless futile struggles, Mephit’s heart grew still, and the flames that had surged within her cooled.

She knew that she was finished, beyond salvation.

The man beside her had once ignited a spark in her, allowing her to see an illusion of hope.

But when the flowering season passed, the harsh reality remained. He was different from everyone else, but he was also the same as everyone else.

It’s just that others approached her with unspoken motives.

And he approached her with noble intentions.

I might as well be dead.

Mephit thought.

I am but an outsider in this world, never deserving of love, nor will I ever know joy or happiness.

Yes.

She sighed softly.

Death is my only destiny.

After death, there will be no more troubles. They will no longer suffer. Everyone will find peace.

But before that, I need to help this person in front of me fulfill his dream.

After all, he is the only one who has treated her as an equal and a kind companion.

Mephit followed behind Rod,

the bright firelight of Star Town illuminating her, the crowded masses brushing past, the lively noise enveloping her, making her feel an unprecedented loneliness and yet a profound tranquility.

She suddenly smiled.

Thank you for accompanying me on this final journey.

With a light click, the silver bracelet in her hand was crushed.

I will do everything in my power to help you.

Twelve thousand yards to the west of Star Town.

The three individuals who had paid a huge price finally managed to lure the dangerous horde of Aries Demons from the Ancient Abyss.

This was the most difficult group of monsters to deal with, known as the nightmare of humanity.

Without the right characteristics, even High Rank Combatants would struggle to contend with them.

The three had paid a significant price to draw them out.

And what’s worse, the Royal City seemed to have noticed something amiss. Various abnormal signs made them realize that someone had crossed a line in trying to deliberately cause Star Town’s downfall by intentionally causing the expedition to fail.

This was an act of betrayal.

The Royal City had started to vet its personnel. Even with the protection of people like Manolo Bana and Talinus, they couldn’t stay here for too long.

So, this was their last chance.

Looking at the monster horde that stretched for dozens of miles, Levill couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

"This time, we must succeed, right?"
