Chapter 1041 There Are No If’s In This World [Part 2]
lightsΝοvel.cοm ?
The members of Twilight Rain, who saw their Guildmaster being tortured by the Half-Elf, felt their hearts shudder due to helplessness.
Suddenly, one of the High-Rankers of Twilight Rain dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
He then bowed in Lux's direction, as if begging him to spare his life.
A few seconds later, more Dwarves from the Dark Organization dropped their weapons and knelt in Lux's direction.
A domino effect then took place, and all the members of Twilight Rain knelt one by one.
They already knew that fighting against Lux was hopeless, so they decided to surrender.
The members of Twilight Rain hoped that Lux would show them mercy and simply capture them all.
"Why are they bowing to him?" Cethus clicked his tongue. "Didn't I say that they should kneel and beg for my mercy?"
"Hmph! Why should they kneel to you?" Cai asked in disdain. "You're just a Cethus! Do you think you are on the same level as Lux? Keep dreaming!"
The Dragon Born looked at the Boar and felt betrayed.
Just now, the two of them were on the same side.
But now, Cai had shamelessly jumped to Lux's bandwagon and even disdained the Dragon Born for his earlier attempt to make the members of Twilight Rain his slaves.
Lux ignored the members of Twilight Rain and simply focused his attention on the Four Saints in front of him.
"Avernus, Sion, you know what to do," Lux said.
The Dracolich chuckled before flying toward the direction of the Vice Guildmaster, thinking about how he should beat him up until he was half dead.
Sion, on the other hand, was less forgiving and directly hacked off an arm of one of the Saints of Twilight Rain, who was rooted in place.
A blood-curdling wail spread in the surroundings as the Saint's arm fell to the ground.
The fourth Saint, who had broken out of his daze, flew toward one of the passageways in an attempt to escape.
He understood that the battle was already lost, and there was simply no way for them to make a comeback with the current situation.
The only thing on the Saint's mind was to preserve his life and hide from the Half-Elf, whose gaze was boring holes through his back.
Originally, the Saint thought that Lux wouldn't care whether he escaped or not because no one moved to block him to prevent him from reaching his destination.
It was at this moment that he heard the whistling of the wind, which forced him to dodge to his right side.
A second later, a black arrow flew harmlessly past his shoulder, making the Saint's eye shrink due to how close it was.
However, before he could even thank his lucky stars, another arrow pierced through his back.
The Saint looked at the head of the arrow that was sticking out of his chest in disbelief.
Soon, his skin started to turn black as Maeve's corruption arrow worked its magic.
Anyone hit by her arrows would find themselves being corrupted by the Element of Destruction from inside their bodies until they turned to ashes.
Maeve's Bow and Arrow were Divine Weapons, similar to the Spear of Longinus.
Because of this, very few individuals would be able to survive a direct hit from her.
Unfortunately, the Saint under Twilight Rain wasn't one of those people.
Half a minute later, the Saint's left started turning into ash, and not long later, the corruption spread to the rest of his body.
"Noooooooooooo!" the Saint shouted. "Have mercy! Please forgive me! I am willing to do anything! Just save meeeeeeeeee!"
As if waiting for that moment, a Black Coffin appeared in front of the Dwarven Saint.
The lid of the coffin opened, revealing a bottomless darkness that was darker than black.
Rows of text appeared in front of the Saint, which made him feel that hope was not lost.
—————————
< If you want to be saved, jump right in. >
< If you do, I'll even restore your arms as a freebie. >
—————————
Blackfire's words were like the temptation of a devil, who was offering an olive branch of salvation.
The Saint didn't hesitate and dove head-first inside the coffin. He knew that he could either take the chance offered to him or turn into ashes, leaving nothing behind.
A childish laughter reverberated in the surroundings as Blackfire shifted its attention to the remaining three Saints from Twilight Rain.
He knew that his Master had no intention of letting the Masterminds of the Organization get a second chance at life, so it approached the Saints like the Harbinger of Death, making their faces turn pale.
Avernus stabbed one of the Saints in the chest with his black sword, draining their life force.
When he felt like the Dwarf was only a few seconds away from death, the Dracolich casually tossed the Saint inside Blackfire as if he was just throwing out the trash.
Sion dealt with the third Saint and also tossed the latter towards the Black Coffin that had wittily devoured him in Agartha.
The Juggernaut had to admit that after Blackfire converted him into one of Lux's subordinates, the things that he couldn't do back in Agartha were now becoming a reality.
Lux gazed at the pitiful Guildmaster of Twilight Rain, who was trapped in place.
This was the person who had given the order to have him and Aina assassinated back then.
A person who held absolute power and could kill him just by snapping his fingers.
Now, their roles had been reversed.
He was now the one who held Magnar's life in his hand.
A life that would easily disappear with a snap of his fingers.
"Any last words?" Lux asked as he looked at the Saint, who was glaring at him in anger.
"I should have killed you when you were still an Apostle," Magnar said through gritted teeth. "If I only knew that you would be my downfall, I would have personally killed you myself!"
Lux looked at Magnar in the eye before the corner of his lips rose into a smirk.
"Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world," Lux stated before snapping his fingers.
Avernus, who had already positioned himself behind Magnar, thrust his blade into the Dwarf's back.
The Dracolich then pulled his sword out, letting the once powerful man who terrorized the entirety of the Kingdom of Gweliven bleed to death.
"I will see you… in hell," Magnar said as blood dripped out of his lips.
Lux sighed before shaking his head.
"Why are all of you reserving a place for me in hell?" Lux asked. "Do I look like someone who is about to kick the bucket?"
"Um, maybe you're too hot for them to handle," Cai commented as she walked beside Lux. "I remember Iris saying that you almost melted her from the inside out after the two of you had se—mmmph!"
The Half-Elf covered the Boar's snout and prevented her from continuing what she was about to say.
Lux knew that his fiance's IQ would drastically decrease whenever she was in her Boar form, but there were things that she shouldn't say even if she were stupid, especially in front of his friends and acquaintances.
'I'll deal with you later, Cai,' Lux said to the boar through telepathy. 'I'll make sure to melt you from the inside out.'
'… I didn't know you were into bestiality,' Cai replied in a surprised tone. 'I mean, I love you with all of my heart, so if you want it, I am up for it as well.'
Lux almost choked on his saliva after hearing the Boar's reply. Because of this, he decided to punish her after he was done with this place.
"Avernus, Sion, Cleo, and Maeve, assist Sir Nevreal in dealing with the prisoners," Lux ordered. "Scarlet, Sean, both of you assist them as well."
""Yes, Master.""
The two Assassins finally made their voices heard, surprising their colleagues in Twilight Rain.
Soon, the Army of the Kingdom of Gweliven rounded up all the survivors and tied their High-Rankers up with magical chains.
As for the Low Rankers? They didn't dare to make a move to escape.
In front of three Calamity-Ranked Monsters and five Saints, their chances of escaping were zero.
After making sure that everything was finally dealt with, Lux grabbed the talkative Boar and teleported back to his Guild Headquarters.
Cai then returned to her human form and was about to apologize to Lux. However, the Half-Elf didn't give her the chance.
Soon, the High Priestess of the Rowan Tribe found herself melting from the inside out as Lux punished her until she passed out with a satisfied smile on her face.
