Infinite Death Legend

However, the rapid breathing that followed interrupted Esdeath's sentimentality. She subconsciously turned her head and saw a familiar figure appearing in front of her. It was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe. The man wears a black turban with the hollow cross engraved on his forehead like Esdeath. Every villager of the Baluts tribe wears this symbolic turban.

"Father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?"

As soon as she saw this man, Esdeath immediately shouted with joy.

But then, she also noticed something was wrong. She knew her father's dress very well. He usually wore a suit made of the skin of dangerous species. The leather armor was made, and then a white ribbon was tied on it. However, now the abdomen that should have been covered with white ribbon now has an inexplicable and irregular red pattern.

Tick!

The red liquid flows from The belly was dripping continuously, and on the blue-white ground under his feet, there was an extra color - the red of blood. The red blood was constantly sprinkled on the floor like rain. The middle-aged man staggered in his steps. After seeing Esdeath, he gradually slowed down, and finally stopped next to the crystal coffin, and then the tired and pale face showed a smile.

"Esdeath, you are indeed my daughter. I knew you would still be alive.…………"

At this time, the middle-aged man directly called Esdeath by her full name. Esdeath naturally noticed this. His father usually called her"Xiao Ai", but now he directly called her"Xiao Ai". As if he thought of his full name, Esdeath's face showed an expression of fear and uneasiness. thump!

The sound of the middle-aged man's originally very light body falling seemed extremely heavy in Esdeath's ears. Esdeath rushed towards the middle-aged man who fell to the ground and quickly stretched out his hands to catch the collision. She touched the head of the middle-aged man on the ground, then supported his body and turned around slowly. She knew that her father might not even be able to stand up now.

"Cough cough cough cough…………"

Seeing her beloved father constantly spitting out dark red liquid from his mouth, Esdeath suddenly panicked. She didn't care that her arm was stained with his father's blood. She looked at the dying man helplessly. As a person, she doesn't know what she should do now. Today is obviously her birthday? Why does this happen! ?

"Father…………What's going on? Who is the enemy? why do you do this to us——"

"Although the enemy is wearing the military uniforms of the northern foreigners, I absolutely do not believe that there are such terrifying monsters among those barbarians.…………Cough cough cough cough…………There must be some hidden secret in it! But one thing is for sure…………We, the Baluts, must have been targeted by someone. Some people regard us as a thorn in their flesh."

"Father, I——"

"Esdeath!!!!!!!"

Esdeath seemed to want to say something, but the middle-aged man roared at her like an angry lion. Esdeath was stunned for a moment. My father has never been like this. She yelled at her loudly, but Esdeath would not blame her father for this, because she felt that her father might leave her forever like her mother.

"I've always wanted to ask you a question…………I have taught you strictly since you were a child…………Cough cough cough cough…………The natural law of the jungle will deprive you of everything except your life, turning you into a warrior who can only fight continuously for survival. Have you ever regretted it? Have you ever hated me?…………Cough cough cough cough——！"

Once again, he coughed up a large amount of dark red liquid. Looking at Esdeath's silent face, the middle-aged man had a wry smile on his face and said,"It seems that now even your human body The last touch of emotion was also wiped out by me…………I was almost dead, but you didn't even shed a tear. This can be considered my retribution.——"

"But that's fine, Esdeath…………No matter who the enemy is, it doesn't matter. We don't need you to avenge us. We lost because our relationship is too weak.…………There's nothing we can do about it if we're all killed.…………You must live well…………Esdeath…………you do not need to worry…………As long as you work hard to live, you'll be fine…………"

Finally, the middle-aged man's words that seemed like a reflection of light stopped. The moment before he passed away, he turned his head and glanced at the crystal coffin next to him, looking at the beautiful woman lying quietly in the crystal coffin. His pale face The face showed a happy smile

『I've kept you waiting for so long, I'm here to accompany you——』

The middle-aged man's right hand that previously held Esdeath's shoulder slowly and feebly slipped from her body to the floor. Esdeath silently placed her father's body on the ground next to the crystal coffin. Then he gently placed his hands on his abdomen, just like how he always slept at night, and the patriarch of the Baruts tribe fell into a long sleep at this moment!

Esdeath just stared blankly at her father's face, which was pale but peaceful and happy. Today was her birthday. Generally speaking, she should stay in her room to receive her father's blessings. , but now——

"Was your father killed because he wasn't strong enough?"

Suddenly, Esdeath showed a fierce look on his face. He used his left hand to pull out the short blade from his waist, stabbed the knife into his right hand, and then pulled it out violently, and bright red blood flowed from it. The wound burst out and spread all over Esdeath's face.

"Father, I promise…………I will definitely survive, and I will never let anyone kill me!"

I must become the strongest!!!

I swear this——
