"Con, drink up! Enjoy this wine while you give heed to my tale from the past."
Henrik poured another glass for Austin and the fire source beast, respectively, before pouring one for himself.
With a look of sorrow, he raised his glass and downed every last drop of it. Afterward, he continued narrating his story.
"In those days, | was a talented scholar in the county, and Beth, who was inherently beautiful, looked as lovely as a blossoming
flower. Our story was a tale of intellect and beauty.
Nonetheless, all this changed on that fateful day.
A man claiming himself to be a powerful cultivator chanced upon Beth and was instantly smitten by her charm and pretty face. For
that reason, he took out a considerable amount of money and went straight to meet her family. Right there and then, he sought
consent if he could ask Beth's hand for marriage.
After seeing the pile of cash, her parents were enticed to concur with the proposal. In the end, they reached an agreement for her
to marry that man.
However, both Beth and | had shared a strong connection, so she vehemently refused to marry him, even if her life depended on it.
Needless to say, | also tracked down the cultivator, but when | finally confronted him, he beatblack and blue to such an extent
that | almost died.
On the night of their marriage ceremony, Beth could no longer carry the heavy burden in her heart. She decided to end her life by
hanging herself in the middle of the bedroom.
It infuriated the man, and to his intense anger, he massacred every single member of her family!
The moment this news reached me, | was in a state of shock. | couldn't bring myself to eat or drink for three consecutive days.
Wrath and resentment filled my heart! | was so devastated | didn't know what to do.
At this point, from nowhere, the cultivator decided to show up before my eyes and demandedif | had any intention to retaliate
and kill him.
He also added that with my strength alone, | wouldn't stand a chance in avenging Beth's death, so he wanted to givea free
rein. According to his explanation, if | entertained an adequate amount of dark thoughts in my heart, a demon would possess my
body. Once | had slain enough innocent civilians, he might then allowto finish him. Afterward, he would return Beth's remains
to me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| don't know what coverthat | listened and entertained his suggestion. That night, | decided to start my revenge plot in
honor of Beth. With the help of this man, | succeeded in becoming a demon.
| slaughtered all living creatures located within a hundred miles from my location, including that man.
After gratifyingly taking that man's life and taking vengeance for Beth's behalf, | glanced around and found a lot of corpses
scattered all over the ground with a feeling of regret. But my heart was already full of evil intent and severe affliction by then. |
was in a half-demon, half-human state.
Since then, after taking Beth's corpse with me, | had vowed to stay distant from the mortal world.
Until one day, | accidentally ended up in this space full of divine fire. With no other better option for a place to stay, | was
determined to make this place my home.
This is the story of my life."
After Henrik finished his accounts of the past, he poured another glass and swigged the wine in big gulps. He was ostensibly
engrossed in his past miseries, unable to unshackle his mind from the old days’ affliction single-handedly.
'A half-demon, half-human state?*
Even after hearing out Henrik's retelling, both Austin and the fire source beast still had many unanswered questions deep within
them.
The story they just heard was probably not entirely true, and it wasn't easy to distinguish which parts were actual or not.
Henrik's identity was a bit too obscure, so how could Austin and the fire source beast possibly believe him by merely listening to
his words?
"The fire source beast race originally reputed this place as their turf. Upon your arrival in this world, what did you see?
Who in their right minds would aggressively intrude on my native land?
Could it be the ghost race?
What exactly is your association with the ghost race?"
grilled the fire source beast in succession.
"Do you want to meet Beth?"
Henrik rejoined, ignoring the barrage of questions being hurled his way.
‘Beth?’
Baffled, Austin, and the fire source beast didn't know how to react.
Before they could make a statement, Henrik was already waving his hand.
Boom!
Almost instantly, a unique crystal coffin cinto view beside him.
A noble and pretty young woman with a sharply defined face was lying inside the transparent casket.
The girl was indeed attractive with a closer look, her face like a blooming white rose, fresh and pure.
"Look here, Beth! | want to introduce you to my friends. After waiting for so many years, | have finally had visitors."
With an enchanted gaze, Henrik spoke while staring at the girl in the crystal coffin. His voice was very gentle and full of
tenderness.
Meanwhile, inside the coffin, the girl's eyes were closed, and there was no response. Although she looked lifelike, her body showed
no signs of life. It was indeed a corpse.
A shocking trace of red ligature marks was noticeable on the girl's neck. It seemed to indicate that she hanged herself using a
rope.
Apparently, this girl committed suicide by hanging herself!
"What are we supposed to do next?"
Austin and the fire source beast addressed each other in private through their spiritual senses.
"Henrik is full of mystery. We can't decipher his every word and deed, including his strength. It's hard to make sense of him at all.
Let's avoid doing any provocations that could irk him for now.
Before anything else, let's first break into this mountain's Yin World and kill all the ghost race first,"
the fire source beast suggested after a moment's consideration.
The ghost race was most likely responsible for the invasion of the fire source beast race's territory, so it was understandable if the
beast wanted to slaughter all of them at once.
"All right. Lead the way."
Austin assented with a nod.
Subsequently, Austin and the fire source beast got up to their feet, stepped out of the pavilion, and steered their direction toward
the mountain's Yin World.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHenrik only heaved a deep sigh but didn't try to hold them back from their mission.
This mountain consisted of two peaks. One was an entity, while the other was an illusion.
The entity component was called the Yang World, and the illusory portion was referred to as the Yin World.
With Austin and the fire source beast's combined spiritual sense and strength, they could precisely locate the Yin World's entrance
with ease.
"It appears like you're planning to take measures concerning the ghost race.
Before you go, allowto remind you that you can't kill them all. They are indestructible.
They are not the sas those living creatures with flesh and blood. Instead, they are a collection of all kinds of evil thoughts
existing all over.
As long as these creatures have prevailing evil thoughts, the ghost race will never be wiped out,"
Henrik yelled out from behind.
"These ghosts are my race's mortal enemies. | don't care how challenging it may be to kill them, but | will put an end to their
oppression and existence!"
scoffed the fire source beast.
Before long, they discovered the Yin World's entrance and successfully crossed its threshold.
Right after stepping into the world, an eerie ghost aura rushed toward them at once. It gave off a spine-tingling sensation that their
hairs were standing on end.
Both Austin and the fire source beast possessed the god of chaos' fighting power, but even their spiritual souls felt disturbed! One
could only asshow terrifying the aura was!
"Kill Kill! Kilt"
With their appearance, the entire world was in a state of disorder. Every single member of the ghost race becunruly and
