Unfathomable Doomsday

Chapter 218

"Your bodybreathes a very dangerous aura, almost like a monster." Lodhran looked up and down at Lucius with his heterochromatic pupils.

"I, who can kill those monsters, am also monsters in a sense," Lucius answered his question calmly.

Lucius once thought that there were those humans who dare to face demons. They tried to fight the demons on the same ground, but the inexplicable aura of fear emanating from the demons was affecting its opponents. Under such extreme fear, most people would go insane!

There were tens of thousands of deserter that moved here, of which only three hundred knights survived. Among these three hundred knights, most of them suffered a mental breakdown caused by that aura of fear.

At the last battle, on the third day of their journey, Lucius mobilized thousands of demons, the final siege, those knights who survived the onslaught. They cried while charging through the battlefield. They no longer had any feeling of fear. They've become numb. Their survival was on the line.

As long as people can survive the battle against the demons and still be able to think straight, human beings were almost no different from monsters in terms of emotions.

"Fighting those demons is indeed terrifying." Lodhran put away the hostility to Lucius and looked at Lorna's back. "Honestly, at that time, I was also worried that my child would collapse because he could not bear the negative aura emanating from the demons, but now it seems that he has overcome his fear."

"It seems that you are not worried about the life or death of your heir."

"Death? If one does not even dare to swing a sword in front of that group of demons, it is the same as death. He is my only son. And the most important person to me, Deputy Chief Lucius, no matter what, I still thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"If your son was really that important, then the person who should've gone and pick him up from whatever city he was from should be you, not me," Lucius said teasingly.

"I have my reason, that Is I must protect this city," Lodhran replied seriously to Lucius. "But in order to repay your deed, I will agree to whatever you ask."

What if I ask you to destroy the city and kill all of its inhabitants?'

He would definitely not agree to it.'

Lodhran looked unorthodox. But he was a very sensible man! If he had to choose between his heir and the lives of the entire city, he would choose the city, upholding the title of the Lord of the Obsidian City to the end.

"I haven't thought about it yet if the city lord arranges a good place for me to stay. I think it will be enough."

At this stage, Lucius did not want to have too much contact with Lodhran. However, although his disguise was flawless, it was inevitable that he might be exposed in front of Lodhran, who might be a level seven being.

"Of course.

Lodhran swiftly agreed to Luqiu's request. He threw a key to Lucius. He said that any room in the city master's residence could be given to Lucius as a place to stay. After Lucius thanked him, Lodhran left first because he had to go and think about how to arrange that group of the deserter.

Lucius looked around the city; finally, he caught on Lorna's scent, followed the route he left, and followed Lorna.

If I want to extract more information about Lodhran, it is more reliable to ask his heir.'

After a few paths of left and right turns, Lucius found himself on top of a clearing, planted with green grass on which stood several tombstones, while Lorna was standing in front of a tombstone, for which he had sent a bouquet of flowers.

Without making a sound, Lucius walked up to his side and glanced at the name on the tombstone, a woman who died about five years ago

"She is my mother."

"Died? Because of illness?"

"No. Killed by a magical beast," Lorna said very calmly, as for what he was thinking inside himself, probably only he knew. He continued, "When this city was first established, it often attracted a large number of magical beasts to attack, for reasons that still cannot be identified, the magical beasts that inhabit the depths of the forest are a hundred times more powerful than humans, the war was really tragic, my mother was killed in the middle of that war."

Lorna recalled the situation and suddenly clenched his fists.

"At that time, my father could save my mother, but but he watched my mother being eaten by the magical beasts in order to close the city gates and block the channel of the invasion he could have saved her "

"But if we don't block those invading beasts, more people will be eaten by the beasts, won't they?"

It's really rational and a little creepy.

"But she is my mother, that man's wife!"

Lucius didn't know since when, But tears were flowing from Lorna's eyes.

"He only married my mother in his life! Even now, he has not married anyone else! Mother is definitely higher in his heart than anyone else. Why"

And then Lucius loudly retorted.

"He's a hero." Lucius pointed his finger at Lorna, who was crying. "Didn't you do the same act as your father? To protect the majority and give up the minority, that's justice. That is your choice."

"Butbut "

"To fight like a man, isn't that what you decided to do?"

Lucius tapped him on the shoulder. His cries finally stopped. Three nights ago, Lorna grew and was not the innocent little child as he was before.

"Understood, Lord Lucius." Lorna gratefully glanced at him. He silently carved in his heart. If the first person he holds a respect for is his father, then the second is Lucius. He saw him as a teacher and also a friend.

Finally, Lucius watched Lorna leave.

If the perspective shifted, this guy would probably be the protagonist of this world. Because no matter what happened to him, or his character, no matter how you look at it, he has the quality to become the protagonistleading human's counterattack against demons and the like.

But it's such a shame

The righteous side of this script was not destined to win.

"Hero?"

Lucius raised his head and looked at the most conspicuous building in the city, most likely where they store the energy wall generator.

"This kind of boring thing ends here Xerath, how long until the dark dimension is completely integrated with this world?"

"Up to three hours, Master. Then the sun will not appear in the world, the darkness of the dark dimension will spread throughout the corners, everything withered frost will freeze everything."
