Chapter 403: Indulgence and Virtue!
Chapter 403: Indulgence and Virtue!
The next moment.
When night had completely fallen over this valley, the stars that had such a faint presence in the night sky suddenly became bright.
The stars began to twinkle quietly.
The twinkling stars descended their radiance, illuminating this silent valley nestled among the mountains.
Time here seemed to blur...
All was silent.
That tall figure silently floated in the night sky, looking down at the stiff figure frozen in place below.
At this moment, the raven standing on the tall figure’s shoulder also turned its little head, gently pressing against Loren’s neck...
"Mr. Cafer, it seems your luck isn’t very good..."
Loren, quietly suspended in the night sky, let out a teasing remark with an unreadable tone, his voice mocking.Davi Cafer, frozen unnaturally in place, heard Loren’s words, and the heavy breaths escaping his mouth and nose grew louder...
He tried several times to speak, but his lips only trembled faintly.
It was as if some invisible, unknown force had silently imprisoned him in place, stripping him of control over his body...
Seeing this, the figure in the night sky, acting as if he knew nothing, asked another question:
"It seems you want to say something, Mr. Cafer?"
The words fell, but still no one answered.
The valley remained utterly silent.
Only then did Loren, as if remembering something, nod his head in sudden realization.
"Oh! Sorry, I forgot." There was an indescribably mischievous quality to his tone.
"You... can't talk right now..."
Davi Cafer, frozen in place, let out an even louder breath, and even the skin on his neck had quietly turned bright red!
Seeing Davi Cafer’s intense reaction, Loren, floating in the night sky, shook his head with a faint smile and comforted the stiff, speechless figure on the ground with great magnanimity, saying:
"It's okay, just say it in your next life..."
A snapping sound echoed through the silent valley.
"Snap!"
As the sound of the snap faded, Davi Cafer’s body, which had remained frozen stiff, finally moved.
With a terrified expression, he raised his right hand!!
Slowly reaching toward his own chest!
The heavy breaths from his mouth and nose grew even louder again...
A dull thud quietly echoed around them.
Davi Cafer’s heart was pulled out by his own right hand.
Thanks to the vitality of a demigod martial artist’s body, this bright red heart, after leaving his chest, still beat quite powerfully in his palm...
"Urgh..." A terrified, hoarse sound escaped Davi Cafer’s throat.
Such a visually striking scene allowed him to regain a "tiny bit" of control over his body.
Seeing this, Loren smiled from the night sky and raised his left index finger to his lips.
"Shh!"
"I like quiet, Mr. Cafer."
The words fell, and Davi Cafer’s struggling, hoarse voice vanished.
He again raised his left hand with a look of terror!!
Reaching toward his own head!
Another faint dull thud sounded...
Blood-tinged white liquid splattered onto the ground, mixed with some bone fragments and golden hair.
A headless, muscular body stood tall on the valley floor, a large hole torn through its chest...
And in the right hand of the headless body, a beating heart was held.
Drenched in blood...
"Is the vitality of a demigod martial artist really this strong?"
Loren, from the night sky, tilted his head and asked a question.
"Master, you're starting to sound more and more like a psycho..." The raven’s voice rang out from Loren’s shoulder.
Clearly, some bird couldn't stomach watching anymore.
"Alright."
Loren shrugged lightly, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers again.
"Also, thanks for the compliment. I really like that evaluation."
Raven: "..."
Damn master, when are you ever going to realize that's NOT a compliment?!?!
On the ground.
That headless body made another move.
A massive amount of blood energy erupted from all parts of Davi Cafer’s body, quickly engulfing him...
A "sizzling" sound came from the blood mist.
To spare the raven's sensibilities, Loren considerately used Davi Cafer’s own blood energy to block its view.
10 seconds later.
The blood mist enveloping the headless body dissipated.
On the ground, only some formless, mangled limbs remained.
Seeing that the other’s life aura had completely vanished.
Loren nodded in satisfaction, then skillfully pulled out his black-and-gold revolver and fired a shot at the ground.
"Bang!"
An energy bullet at maximum power ignited those broken limbs.
With Loren’s advancement complete, the power of that black-and-gold revolver had finally leveled up.
Enough to ignite the body of a dead demigod martial artist...
Soon.
The flames on the ground gradually faded, leaving only some warm ashes.
Then, Loren quickly activated his sixth ability—Crossroads of Fate!
Forcibly dragging the soul phantom that was standing dazed on the ground into the Illusion Space!
A martial artist’s strength didn’t lie in spiritual power, but in that terrifying body honed to the extreme.
Deprived of the protection of his demigod-level body, Davi Cafer’s soul appeared frail and weak...
Two seconds later.
Now it was clean!
After personally witnessing the other’s soul collapse, Loren nodded in satisfaction and put away his black-and-gold revolver.
Then, he took out a Federation coin and lightly tossed it into the air.
"Is he dead? If he’s dead, let the coin be heads."
The coin landed. Heads!
Dead!
Seeing this answer, Loren tilted his head in thought, then tossed the coin again.
"Does he have some means of resurrection or the like? If so, let the coin be heads!"
The coin landed again. Tails!
He had no means of resurrection or the like!
Seeing this, Loren finally put the coin away with complete relief and let out a tired yawn:
"Mr. Cafer, I hope you get a decent overtime pay for working late tonight..."
A voice filled with resentment echoed through the silent valley.
Actually, I just wanted to go check out the Beastkin Star Domain’s casino tonight...
These presumptuous bastards from the Security Bureau who always love messing up people’s plans!
One day I’m gonna blow you all up!!!
At that moment.
A somewhat ill-timed voice came from Loren’s shoulder.
"Oh~ my dear master, I must remind you, that's called a 'death benefit.'"
"Also, master, have you considered joining a cult of an extraplanar evil god in the future?"
"Because, at this point, your statements are no longer sounding like a human~"
Seeing that the battle was completely over, the raven returned to its normal state.
"Critting" its master was a persistent effort...
Loren: "..."
One second ago, he was in a pretty good mood, but now he was suddenly not so happy...
"Stupid bird... when I’m happy..."
"You could maintain a certain level of silence. Thank you."
"Not criticizing others' pleasures is a commendable virtue."
A brief silence followed.
"Damn master, that's called indulgence!"
"No, Raven, that’s called virtue!"
"It IS indulgence!"
"Stupid bird, it’s virtue! I’m the master!"
...
And so, the one man and one raven, bickering like this, leisurely flew up toward the valley...
It was worth noting.
This time, Loren used his own immense spiritual power to lift himself and fly.
Finally, he didn’t have to be flown around by the raven.
And as he flew out of the valley’s perimeter, Loren, for some reason, looked back at the valley and softly said:
"Good night, Mr. Cafer."
