Chapter 419: Fifty-eight, your body is mine now.
Bai Wei held the bone in his hand and gently rubbed it.
The bone turned to powder at a visible speed, then spilled out through the gaps in his fingers and completely dissipated into the white snow.
But Bai Wei felt that the power of the bone had been reclaid, just like a long-lost wanderer suddenly returning ho, at first teeming with boundless vitality, but soon quieting down, becoming one with him.
“Soul Return,” was completed.
“You… you really are Visas,” a deep voice rang out, tinged with a hint of excitent, “I’ve never… I’ve never seen anyone who could destroy that bone, not even leaving a trace. Not just , but those Clergy of the Church, using Divine Arts, also… can’t, couldn’t do it.”
The speech was sowhat incoherent.
Bai Wei turned his head to look.
The speaker was, of course, Cesar, who had nothing left but his head, but was not yet completely dead.
The Forbidden Curses inscribed on him were still in effect.
However, without the enhancent of this bone, he was only minutes away from total death.
But he obviously didn’t want to give up just yet, still desperately twisting his head, as if trying to get closer to Bai Wei.
“Visas, Lord Visas!” he tried to shout loudly, but the voice that ca out was like the wheeze of a broken accordion, “I’ve always admired you, always have. I know all about your deeds, I look up to you, really.”
“There’s no point in saying those aningless words anymore,” Bai Wei calmly interjected, “No one can save you now, including … The power of this bone has already been reclaid by , and I can’t distribute it again.”
Bai Wei’s words made Cesar’s expression stiffen; he still couldn’t believe it, and spoke like he was desperately clinging to a last straw, “No, no, no, how could you have no way? How could there be sothing you can’t do in this world?! Please rest assured, if you are willing to save , then I will definitely…”
Cesar’s voice got quieter and quieter.
Because he realized that no matter what he said, Bai Wei was just quietly looking at him.
This made him realize that it truly was impossible.
He was really going to die.
Bai Wei watched as Cesar’s body, which had been still for a while, suddenly shuddered violently.
It was like a desperate sobbing, as if trying to suppress rage, as well as despair.
“Why, why… must you kill ?” Cesar said, “I can’t accept it, I can’t accept it!”
“That wretched girl, that wretched girl! She’s just the sa as , she is just the sa as ! Why would you choose her over !”
His body shook more and more violently, like a puppet that starts to go haywire after one of its strings snaps.
“I’ve done better than her! I’m stronger than her! I’ve planned for this for ten years, a full ten years… and she knows nothing!”
“But why, why do you help her to kill ?! Even when I had already yielded, you still wouldn’t spare , why?!”
“Just because I took my brother’s music score? If it were my brother, he could never achieve what I did!”
“He would be killed by even crueler people, and his music score would be taken by those from the upper echelons! No one could save him, no one!”
“If so, what’s wrong with taking his music score?!”
“What’s wrong with that?!”
“Hasn’t that woman ever killed anyone?! Hasn’t she done such things?! I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!”
Cesar howled hysterically at Bai Wei.
But Bai Wei’s expression remained largely unchanged, clearly not surprised by Cesar’s reaction at the mont.
He walked over to Cesar’s head, slowly crouched down, and once again looked him in the eyes at close range.
“Although there are many things that could be used to answer you, there is no need,” Bai Wei spoke languidly, “I just want to know, if your brother hadn’t been killed by you, but by those upper echelons you hate, and you happened to have a chance for to avenge him, and the cost was… your everything.”
“Would you make that request to ?”
“Assuming your brother couldn’t be brought back to life, and you would also die after using my power.”
Bai Wei gazed at Cesar.
“Would you seek a deal with ?”
“Tell , the truth.”
Cesar opened his mouth; he wanted to say he would.
But those words, like a fishbone stuck in his throat, simply wouldn’t co out.
Bai Wei smiled: “See, we were never going to be possible partners from the start, because you would never risk your life for anyone, not even for your brother, or even yourself.”
With that, Bai Wei slowly stood up and stretched.
“If you see as a rchant, of course I still prefer this child,” he shrugged, “After all, there’s no better deal than risking everything for a stranger who can’t be saved, is there?”
After saying this, Bai Wei turned and walked away.
Cesar stared at Bai Wei’s retreating figure.
When he was about to disappear from sight, Cesar yelled, “No, I won’t accept it! I won’t accept it!”
His body burst out with its last bit of strength, rushing forward to grab at his own head.
It was just that his notes had already been taken by Bai Wei, and what remained were only those scattered pieces—his music score.
