Lord Ice Moon POV
-----
I wonder if we could be really the allies you wanted us to be.
Perhaps I misunderstood you, Drake.
You're way younger than and act quite arrogantly. But I guess such arrogance is justified by seeing how strong you truly are.
My foolish Elders had offended you and they had it coming for them too, so I don't mind them being beaten by you.
To be honest, I hate more than half of them.
What baffled the most is how this man has done so much from seemingly a humble background than … and while being of the sa rank and perhaps younger…
How? I was so concentrated on growing stronger I disregarded everything else.
Perhaps… I should have tried to make bonds with people so more.
To make allies. Good friends, I could trust. And to love a woman and have children.
To build my own family, my own dynasty.
This world is harsh and cold, the strong survive and rule.
But I was strong, stronger than anyone…
Yet… I never made myself a family.
I was supposed to have already reached one of my desires of growing strong enough to not be suppressed by most of the wild world outside, but I guess I lost my purpose in life along the way.
And later, I ended becoming the lapdog of an insane psychopath with the power to annihilate if he wanted.
This insane psychopath was that nasty bastard of an effeminate faggot… an elf nad Lord Greenwood.
I hate him more than anything in my life because I now… know that he killed my family. I now know that, based on the evidence.
In my room there's a piece of scrap tal, it had so letters on it.
After I retrieved so of the ones he left behind from the village he recently burned down by sending spies there, I made the assumptions and.
Indeed, it is the sa.
He said he used his robots for this.
So it made sense now more than ever before, he had burned my village.
Why? Why did he do this?
I won't ever know. I couldn't ask him; he would probably kill .
But most likely… there was soone there that he wanted. A Unique Skill holder, maybe. A reincarnated person.
He took away all of these Unique Skill users from back then, all of these talented youth whose souls had co from seemingly another world… what a strange concept.
He took them all away from and used them for his malicious purposes…
I regret not having said anything.
But if I did, I and my whole sect could have been burned to the ground.
Now… I am alone once more, and he left forever for so reason.
When will I et this bastard again?
I don't know, but whenever I do, I hope I can be strong enough to kill him.
Heh, in the end, strength is still my priority.
I look at my hands, filled with scars.
I have been fighting my entire life…
I wonder what Drake would think about my entire story.
…
Why am I even thinking about this man now?
I suppose I had begun to admire him without realizing it.
I don't know why, he's of a rank lower than .
I should be treating him as my junior, but he looks like a man worth following.
I talk as if I had little ti left, but perhaps I can change things for the better. Perhaps I can still get a woman I could love and make children…
Perhaps I could be a bit like Drake, and we can beco friends too.
Why must we be so hostile? Why must we abide by these stupid rules of a cultivation world such as this one?
I had been thinking with the desire for strength all this ti, but by cooperating, things can beco better than by fighting.
I want to share a bit of that happiness you have, Drake.
Can I have so?
You seem to have enjoyed life more than .
I can see life flashing through those eyes of yours.
And I… am old, filled with scars, strong, but hollow.
What am I been doing this whole ti? I sotis wonder about this.
I am so ashad of having co to this conclusion so late in my life. It feels like I have been wasting my life. I had so many opportunities, yet I never cared.
My family's death left heartbroken, and with the undying desire of growing stronger without stopping. Anything else didn't matter.
And even after becoming Rank 4, I was still a weakling compared to others. But it felt so long and arduous.
I had reached so far yet it felt so painful.
All of this ti wasted only to be a little bit stronger in a world filled with monsters?
All my life was sacrificed into this one little thing. And I am not even that strong either.
I could have made a family before, before wasting so much ti like this.
Perhaps he was able to cultivate faster because he had a partner to love with him.
Soone to accompany you, to pat your back.
And the only thing I've been doing was wasting my life away in the most aningless things possible, what a life this has been.
Now that my power feels to have little aning before the overwhelming strength that I cannot even resist of others, it makes think that I should have wasted my life away in other ways and manners.
Drake, it appears that you've really changed this old man, this husk of a man.
Despite being Rank 4…
I…
CRASH!
My deep thoughts were suddenly interrupted as the windows to the left side are broken by several figures coated in shadows!
Are these from another sect?!
I quickly take out my mana aura and conjure a strong spell to fight, but they're incredibly fast!
BOOM!
I feel a strong fist hit my chest, as I am out of the air in an instant, and thrown into the ground, I suddenly beco immobilized by a sharp red needle that pierced my neck…!
"Who… who are you?!"
