Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

143: The Road to RevengeOn the morning of the second day, sunlight streamed through the window and fell upon Erlichandi’s face. He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun.

Last night, he had kept watch over the corpses of The Five of Koteski, staying awake the entire night.

It wasn’t until the early hours of the morning that he finally drifted into a fitful sleep, utterly exhausted.

When Erlichandi was awakened by the sunlight, he found it somewhat blinding and couldn’t help but squint.

His gaze fell upon the bodies of The Five of Koteski, and a wave of sorrow washed over his heart.

He quickly rose to his feet, deciding to make five coffins for them.

Erlichandi used his magic to summon the Materials. Before long, five exquisite coffins materialized instantly before him.

He carefully lifted each corpse, gently placing them into the coffins as if they were fragile treasures.

Then, using his magic, he made the coffins float behind him and slowly began walking towards the villagers’ cemetery.

The villagers and his parents were all buried together, so they wouldn’t feel lonely.

Erlichandi walked step by step, his heart heavy.

However, when he reached the cemetery, the sight before him left him stunned.

All the graves had been dug up, with soil and turf scattered everywhere. Chaotic footprints covered the entire burial ground.

What pained him even more was that the burial items inside, including clothing and other belongings, had vanished without a trace.

Erlichandi’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the scene.

His chest heaved, and the intense emotional turmoil caused the dark magic within him to surge like turbulent waves.

The five coffins floating behind him were also affected, first rising sharply before plummeting rapidly.

Unable to contain his inner rage, Erlichandi roared at the sky, ”Ah--- Who! Who did this!”

This roar echoed through the morning air, as if the entire world could hear his grief and indignation.

Erlichandi’s eyes were bloodshot, and his throat had grown hoarse from the excessive shouting.

His body trembled, as if driven by an uncontrollable force. His voice echoed through the empty village, filled with endless pain and despair.

The deaths of his parents and the villagers had torn his heart apart. That pain and sense of helplessness nearly drove him to collapse.

He couldn’t accept this reality, nor could he bear the thought of them not resting in peace even after death.

Erlichandi clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. Blood trickled down his fingers, but he remained completely unaware.

Using his magic, he swiftly restored the graves of the villagers and his parents. Every movement was heavy yet resolute.

Then, he buried The Five of Koteski in the center of the villagers’ graves, as if this would offer them the best protection.

After completing all this, Erlichandi slowly knelt down. His knees struck the hard ground with heavy thuds.

He lowered his head, pressing his forehead against the earth. Tears gushed out like a breached flood.

He murmured to himself, ”I’m sorry, everyone. I’m sorry, Mom and Dad! I’m so useless. Time and again, I’ve let you get hurt. Now The Five of Koteski have joined you... It’s all my fault. Wait for me. Wait until I find the mastermind behind this, until I avenge you. Then I’ll come to join you all! To atone for my sins!”

Erlichandi’s voice trembled in the wind, filled with deep self-blame and regret.

He knew that no apology could ever make up for the harm he had caused his family and the villagers, but he still hoped this gesture could express the guilt in his heart.

Erlichandi silently kept everyone company in the cemetery as time flowed by like water.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. When he decided to leave, his heart was filled with nostalgia for this land and remembrance for those who had passed.

Before departing, Erlichandi cast a magical barrier to protect this cemetery.

He stood in the center of the burial ground, slowly raising his hands as he chanted ancient and mysterious incantations.

As he chanted, a faint blue light emanated from his hands, gradually enveloping the entire cemetery.

This magical barrier could not only ward off external destruction but also bring peace to the Souls within the cemetery.

Erlichandi meticulously wove each rune, ensuring the barrier’s stability and durability.

When the magical barrier was complete, the entire cemetery was surrounded by a soft blue glow, as if placed in a dreamlike world. Erlichandi gazed at this protected land, silently praying that it would never be disturbed again.

On the day Erlichandi left, the Central Capital and the entire magical continent welcomed a mysterious dark assassin.

This assassin moved like a ghost in the night, silently traversing the city’s streets and alleys, instilling fear in people’s hearts.

People began calling this assassin the ”Night Avenger,” as he always operated at night, and his targets seemed to be those who had committed crimes yet evaded justice—even some prominent families were included!

Every time he appeared, he brought bloody slaughter, plunging the entire city into panic.

The prominent families and mages launched a pursuit for this Night Avenger, but his movements were as elusive as a specter.

He seemed to possess an exceptionally high mastery of magic, easily evading all forms of tracking and traps.

And behind this series of events, could Erlichandi have some connection to this Night Avenger?

This mystery hung like a dark cloud over the Central Capital, causing unease and confusion.

Xiao Yang: Didn’t he want revenge? Why is he killing indiscriminately?

Zhang Fei: You call that indiscriminate? Don’t be ridiculous, okay?

Xia Yu: He can’t find the mastermind behind it all. By making a big show like this and building his reputation, maybe one day the mastermind will come looking for him!

Arthur Wang: So that’s how a fearsome reputation is born?

Cao Cao: Is this demonic? I feel he’s quite rational!

Huyan Jue Luo Xiu: It’s probably how things are categorized in their world. Besides, his willpower and self-control are very strong!

Ding Xiaoyu: Family bonds are the greatest ties. He has people he cares about. Until his great revenge is achieved, he’ll retain a shred of rationality!

Heartbreak Man: Wow! As expected of Ding Xiaoyu, you still see things clearly!

Wang Dadong: Come on, that’s his own past life, okay?

Huyan Jue Luo Xiu: Dadong, I think your family and friends understand you better than you understand yourself, don’t they?

Wang Dadong: Not at all, I know myself very well!

Arthur Wang: Heh---

Wang Dadong: Hey, Narcissist, what’s with that tone?

Arthur Wang: Figure it out yourself---
