Bang.

Kang De pulled the trigger.

The bullet went straight for Lost’s head.

Battle aura flashed. The fallen Lost moved a few meters to the left in the air and dodged the shot.

Then, his body rose up.

He did not get up or stand up, but his body was upright.

The knight shook his head.

His eyes were empty and his expression froze, but the violent aura behind his heart slowly spread out.

He lost everything almost overnight. His hometown was destroyed, his family was razed, the corpses of his relatives were blown to pieces, and his sister died because of his selfishness.

What about the Eldest Prince’s favor, what about his bright future, what about the life of an upper-class person? All of this had already been devoured by the flames of hatred and despair. These were not important anymore, not important…

Kang De fired again. The knight rolled to the ground, ignoring his posture, but it was efficient.

He dodged this attack.

Then, he slowly stood up and looked at Kang De with empty eyes.

Kang De was first stunned, then he shook his head and smiled.

This level of police firearms and escort firearms was no longer enough to deal the main damage to a powerful knight like Lost. They could only be used to attack, suppress, restrain, and kill.

As expected.

This was a world with supernatural powers. He did not think that he could run wild in this world with the non-military firearms and a small number of bullets he had borrowed from the police station and the currency truck.

It was better to say that he had long expected this.

The reason why he directly used the fuel truck to raze the Glory Sand Castle was also because of this. He had previously used the little beggar’s explosion to test the strength of Samuel’s battle aura and came to the conclusion that the risk of facing him head-on was higher and he could not be defeated. Moreover, there was still that Mage Richard. He could only use this method to wipe them out.

As for Lost, he had a foolproof plan to stuff the bomb into Hannah’s stomach. With his mental state at that time, he would definitely not be able to dodge. This move and the subsequent underground explosion were enough to directly injure him and then calmly finish him off.

However, Kang De hesitated after all.

Just like that extremely dark night in the alley of Glory Sand Town, Kang De raised his nail gun as he watched the little beggar gradually walk towards the entrance of the street.

The knight pressed his arm and said no, or he would not be able to turn back.

When the sharp tip of the knife was about to pierce Hannah’s lower abdomen, he vaguely felt that someone was pressing his arm and telling him that he could not, or he would not be able to turn back.

Kang De knew that not doing it might be a bad idea.

Just like how he would be betrayed in the blink of an eye if he did not kill the little beggar, he would be surrounded by his pursuers in the blink of an eye. In a fierce battle, the knight forcefully boosted his battle aura and suffered an extremely serious piercing injury. Moreover, he lost his life because of this. This became the last straw that broke the camel’s back, directly causing Kang De to fall into madness.

Just like now, if he did not do this, Lost’s vigilance and selfishness made him throw Hannah without hesitation and dodge the core area of the explosion without being fatally injured. This meant a fierce battle would occur.

Kang De knew.

However, he only thought of the look in Cleveland’s eyes that night.

Hey, it’s the second time.

Your kindness and soft-heartedness have ruined things again.

I won’t listen to you next time.

Facing the malicious-looking Lost, Kang De smiled and put the shotgun back on his back.

Then, he pulled out the axe and sword.

A powerful enemy had sharp intuition and powerful reaction speed. His current gun could no longer satisfy his combat needs. He needed to enchant and strengthen it in all aspects, or… obtain something stronger.

However, that was later.

Now, he had to fight bravely.

Lost stared at Kang De and roared like a malicious ghost.

“You killed my father.”

Kang De nodded. “It’s me.”

“You killed my brother.”

“It’s me.”

“You destroyed my home.”

“It’s me.”

“You killed so many people.”

“It’s me.”

Kang De replied calmly. The questioner on the other side was filled with hatred and sorrow.

Compared to that night, the situation had completely reversed.

However, these two people were no longer him at that time.

Lost hissed, “You… demon…”

Kang De smiled and said, “I’m not a demon. Remember that you gave me the nickname of a clown. Don’t get it wrong.”

Lost gritted his teeth and said, “Demon, you cruel, vicious demon…”

“In that case, you’re very wrong.”

Kang De still smiled. He said softly, “Look, I only turned the living into the dead. As for you, you turned the living into clowns. Tell me, who is the real demon?”

Lost said in a hoarse voice, “Lynch was only a child…”

Kang De said calmly, “So what? If I’ve obtained any insight from this matter, it’s that all living beings are equal. Everyone decides their own actions and has to bear the corresponding responsibility. Be it a man or a woman, an old man or a child, a noble or a beggar.”

Lost complained miserably, “You killed so many people…”

“The dead Goethe people are also humans. When you wave your butcher knives, you should have thought of today. If you don’t have the awareness to be killed, why did you kill?”

Kang De’s eyes were bright and his tone was calm. He did not waver. He said indifferently, “Moreover, did many people die? This is only so-so. There are not as many people as in a building in our district.”

Lost did not know what the district was.

He did not want to know.

The knight had already turned into a headless ghost that was collapsing crazily.

His battle aura circulated even more violently.

Then, he let out a wild, miserable, and terrifying roar.

His noble golden battle aura had already slowly turned blood-red.

Through his answer to Kang De, he accumulated anger, hatred, and madness.

Kang De was doing the same thing.

With every question he answered, the madness and anger in his heart increased. He thought of the sailors who calmly died, the captain who fought to the death, and the raging flames of the Penguin that left Bedolla behind to cover the retreat.

Cleveland’s last tears.

The person in front of him had an undeniable responsibility for Cleveland’s death.

It was also his last enemy.

He drank the medicine.

Strength, agility, and intelligence.

His bodily functions increased greatly.

His mental strength and thinking speed increased greatly.

The flames that spread out again because of the explosion and impact gathered towards Kang De.

Element Extraction.

The flying flames transformed into pure fire elements that surged into Kang De’s body. Then, they gushed out of his hand and outlined into runes under the guidance of his mental strength, spreading the divine edge of flames on the battle axe.

In his right hand was the Crimson Blood Flame Edge, and in his left was the Raging Fire Battle Axe.

Silver-white battle aura rose.

This was Cleveland’s battle aura.

—I’ll use it to kill you as if Cleveland is the one killing you.

This was his last revenge.

Kang De and Lost’s gazes met.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

“Kill—”

Almost at the same time, the two of them raised their weapons. Battle aura flashed as they quickly rushed towards each other.

One of them was in a sorry state.

One of them was calm and cold.

These were two lunatics who had lost everything.

On the dilapidated land, there was the final battle.

The swords collided, and the battle auras rumbled. The flying flames collided crazily with the horizontal and vertical sharpness.

“Ahhhh, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!”

Lost slashed crazily, perishing together. He only howled, screamed, and did not cry, because he could not cry. There were no tears, only blood, and only an extremely sticky blood feud.

“Kill, kill, kill! Kill!”

Kang De slashed with his sword and axe and roared, “Trash! I killed your father, I killed your brother, I killed your sister, and I killed your entire family. So what? So what? Why aren’t you crying? If you’re not crying, laugh! Why are you shouting so loudly?! Why are you unhappy?!”

Sabers and swords flashed, and flames roared. The two of them fought desperately, roaring and crazy.

They had already fought countless times.

Until the chance to win arrived.

In the next exchange of blows, the fire axe finally reached the limit of the flame enchantment and disintegrated into fragments that filled the sky. Without a weapon, Kang De grabbed the shotgun and fired.

Lost did not dodge. He used his combat aura to resist the close-range attack of the rubber bullet and took the opportunity to attack. The sword light was like a rainbow, and his combat aura erupted, knocking away Kang De’s other short sword.

The Crimson Blood Flame Edge flew into the sky.

Kang De no longer had any cold weapons.

Lost let out a sharp roar. The sword went straight in and stabbed at Kang De’s heart.

Kang De let go of the shotgun.

With his bare hands, his battle aura erupted. He pressed his palms together and caught the white blade with his bare hands.

He only needed to block it for a second.

He grabbed Lost’s sword with both hands.

His mental strength, which had been strengthened by the intelligence potion, suddenly spread.

His ability was activated.

Its name was Extraction.

Lost’s blade suddenly disintegrated, turning into many elements.

Kang De absorbed the sharpness.

It strengthened at the tip of his nail and he grabbed.

Blood appeared.

Kang De looked at the approaching Lost and smiled indifferently, “I’ve caught you.”

He let go of the shotgun with his left hand and reached out to scoop it up. The Crimson Blood Flame Edge that had been lifted into the air fell and was grabbed by him. Then, he tried his best to stab.

The short sword pierced through Lost’s chest.

Lost’s battle aura erupted. His muscles tensed and he clamped the short sword tightly, allowing the flames on the sword to burn his flesh and internal organs.

This crazy lunatic also revealed a cold smile, “I’ve caught you.”

His other hand pulled out a small sword from the secret compartment of his armor.

It was called the Death Entanglement and the Silent Kiss of the Night.

It was a cursed treasure bestowed by the Eldest Prince to deal with Sword Saint Snowfall who had come from the War God City. It could impose an indestructible curse on living beings, causing their hearts to slowly stop beating. It was impossible to resolve and dodge. Even someone as powerful as the Sword Saint could only die once she was struck.

Now, the so-called duty and wealth were no longer important.

What was important was revenge.

Lost smiled sinisterly and said, “Die!”

The curse was activated.
