Chapter 309: Chapter 67 Birth of the Grim Reaper_4
Ah Dai tightly held the lifeless body of Ah Bing, completely stupefied. He sat in silence, without movement. His heart was bleeding with grief that had reached its peak. His mind was blank, he did not want to believe that Ah Bing, who was still alive the previous afternoon, had become a corpse.
Yan Shi and the fairy stood behind Ah Dai. They knew that nothing could dispel the grief in Ah Dai’s heart at this moment. All they could do was quietly accompany him, feeling his silent sorrow.
Finally, Ah Dai carefully placed Ah Bing’s body on the ground. In a low voice, he murmured, "Ah Bing, you were never unclean, in my heart, your soul was always pure. Rest in peace now, I promise to fulfill your wishes. I will carry you with me forever, allowing you to watch over me, okay? I believe, it will make you happy. Come, let me cleanse all your torments first, and return your body to its purity. Fire elements that pervade the heavens and the earth! Grant me your warm power, converge into a sphere, appear in my hand." A deep blue flame appeared in Ah Dai’s hand, "Ah Bing, I want to capture your perfection forever. Now, I release my flames." With one hand, he gently lifted Ah Bing’s body from the ground, and with the other, he released the flame. In an instant, Ah Bing’s body, floating in the air, was swallowed by the deep blue flame. Before the high temperature, her body gradually turned into ashes. Ah Dai established an energy shield around Ah Bing’s body with his True Qi, preventing the ashes from being scattered. As the flames consumed Ah Bing’s body, what was left inside the energy shield was a pile of white ashes. Ah Dai folded his hands together, motivating his internal True Qi, merging the ashes. Under immense pressure, the ash gradually fused and shrank in size. Eventually, it formed a small pile as big as a fist. Ah Dai closed his eyes, his right hand ceaselessly forming and shaping the pile of ashes, yellow lights were flashing, and the ash gradually transformed into Ah Bing’s likeness. Despite having no previous experience with carving, Ah Dai put all his emotions into the sculpture. Ah Dai opened his eyes and reached out to the floating sculpture. Ah Dai held the sculpture with a frozen smile, his eyes fixated on Ah Bing’s likeness, he was unexpectedly mesmerized.
Yan Shi’s clothes were already damp with his tears. He approached Ah Dai and put his hand on Ah Dai’s shoulder, "Ah Dai, try to hold back your sorrow. Miss Ah Bing has passed away."
Ah Dai silently shook his head, "No, she didn’t die. She will live forever in my heart. I will carry her with me across the continent, letting her see the beautiful sights it has to offer." As he said this, he treasured the likeness of Ah Bing and held it closer to his chest. Turning around, his face was expressionless, he said to Yan Shi, "Big brother, let’s meditate to recover. Elf Sister, thank you for helping me hold onto Ah Bing’s life before." After speaking, he took a seat and began to meditate.
Yan Shi and the others exchanged glances. If Ah Dai had cried in sorrow, they wouldn’t find it strange. But Ah Dai’s calmness filled them with a premonition of a brewing storm, as if something terrifying was about to happen. All three of them were exhausted, and without further ado, sat down and started to meditate as well.
One day later, Ah Dai was the first to wake up. His internal injuries were completely healed, his abilities fully recovered, his whole body was filled with Pure Qi. As the sun was setting, the afterglow of the sunset dyed the ground red. Ah Dai stood silently, taking out Ah Bing’s likeness from his chest and whispering, "Ah Bing, I’ll fulfill your wishes of these eight years on your behalf. If I had not been so weak, the cat lady would not have had the opportunity to hurt you. I swear in front of you; from today on, I will no longer let any villain go easily. I will send them all to Hell, not allowing their souls to ever ascend. I will become the nightmare of these evildoers, becoming the Grim Reaper, ushering away their evil souls." Ah Bing’s death had entirely changed Ah Dai. Although his kindness was still there, his murderous intentions had reached an extreme. His body emitted a chilling aura; his long hand unconsciously reached for the Sword of Hades on his chest.
The chilling aura startled Yan Shi from his meditation. Opening his eyes and seeing Ah Dai, he shuddered. Ah Dai’s red magic robes were tattered but he stood there, exuding an imposing aura that deeply astonished him. His cold expression was enough to send chills down one’s spine. Yan Shi suddenly felt that the Ah Dai standing in front of him was no longer the same good-natured and weak Ah Dai. Standing up, Yan Shi walked over to Ah Dai, "Brother, what’s going on?"
Ah Dai asked flatly, "Big brother, are your wounds healed?"
Yan Shi replied, "I’m fine now, my ability is just not completely recovered."
Ah Dai squinted at the setting sun gradually disappearing, "Big brother, there’s something I must do. Please don’t stop me, okay?"
Yan Shi was stunned, "What do you want to do?"
Ah Dai’s face showed a hint of coldness, "I want to go back to Dark City and fulfill Ah Bing’s wish."
Yan Shi felt a chill in his heart, speaking gravely, "You want to go back to Dark City? Do you know what that means?"
