Chapter 665: Chapter 273: Austin, What Have You Protected (Thanks to the Alliance Reward from ’Neng Tian Shi’)_4

His golden short hair was tousled into a bird’s nest, and his collar was torn halfway off; he looked extremely disheveled.

Celeste suddenly woke up. Today was different from the past; he was no longer just a Legendary Mage from the Magic Department. Controlling the Dark Knight no longer mattered to him. If he really wanted to benefit from the situation, he should sell this important information to the Papal State.

"Knight Juno, what should we do?"

"Stick to the original plan."

The mentor and apprentice exchanged glances. It didn’t matter who Austin was; it wouldn’t affect the original purpose of their plan.

Boom!

The enormous figure of the White Dragon flapped down its wings, its spread wings encircling and protecting a family of three underneath, its ferocious eyes fixated on Allen as it growled lowly, ready to unleash its Blazing Dragon Breath.

The battle between Megan and Celeste had come to a pause, and she believed that he had come with good intentions.

Allen, speechless, looked at Celeste, who had sided with Austin, "My friend, is this how you treat me and our friendship?"

"Allen, one has to grow in life. We have a long road ahead of us. I’m just making a choice. You should understand this kind of helplessness," Celeste said earnestly, his face showing his consideration for his good friend. "Give up. You’ve already lost. Continuing the fight will only lead to your death here."

"Oh, and how do you plan to deal with me?" Allen asked with interest.

"I’m asking you to stay at my manor in the suburbs for a while." Celeste didn’t want to kill Allen, nor did he want to let him leave and spread rumors that Austin was the Dark Knight.

After some time, once he had sold the information for a high price, he would let Allen return to Lundan. After that, they could still be good friends.

"Haha, cough cough———"

Allen laughed heartily, barely catching his breath and coughing continuously, almost sending himself off, "I understand your helplessness and your next helplessness. I understand it all, rest assured, I’m not angry at all."

He laughed and waved his hand, his fingers spread, and a streak of black light dispersed.

Behind Allen, a black rift silently opened, and the female Divine Envoy in a black robe stepped out.

Another master!

The ability to ignore the Spatial Barrier and enter and exit freely surprised them all, especially Celeste, who was annoyed at his rashness; he shouldn’t have been so quick to take sides.

He grabbed Juno’s sleeve and led her a few steps away from the Randao family.

A Legendary Mage, eh? Whoever wins, I’ll help them. No shame in that.

Juno frowned deeply, recalling how important first impressions were. Celeste’s actions made it difficult for her to maintain a friendship with Wayne, but she didn’t say anything. When in doubt, watch and wait. She couldn’t find fault with Celeste’s approach.

"Hahahaha———"

Seeing the knowledgeable Celeste, Allen nodded in approval and loudly said, "Austin, the Goddess’ Envoy is right here. Hand over the Twilight Deadlock. I am the true God-chosen."

Austin snorted coldly, stabilizing himself with Veronica’s support, clenching the Twilight Deadlock, and trying to endure even greater pain.

At that moment, the Twilight Deadlock slipped uncontrollably out of his hand.

The Blacklight Armor dispersed, and the dark energy enveloping Austin retracted, lurking deep within his heart.

Intense pain and exhaustion hit him, and he hurriedly took an Ancient Silver Coin out of his pocket, looking incredulously at the Divine Envoy holding the Twilight Deadlock.

Allen, you were indeed deceived; he is the Dark God-chosen.

Allen was still laughing heartily; his plan had gone smoothly. He had drained all of Austin’s power, allowing the Goddess’ Envoy to snatch the Twilight Deadlock back from the thief.

Next, the rightful owner would take possession, and it was his turn to become the true God-chosen.

"Envoy, don’t keep the Goddess waiting," Allen said, extending his hand, covetously eyeing the Twilight Deadlock—it was the future he had chosen.

"You’re right," the Envoy said indifferently, shifting the sword and suddenly plunging the Twilight Deadlock into Allen’s chest.

Hisss!

The sword’s point penetrated through chest to back, and blood sprayed out, causing a shocked Allen to stand frozen on the spot. He slowly lowered his gaze to the Divine Artifact penetrating his chest, not understanding what had happened.

Could this be the way a God-chosen inherits the role?

Allen understood what had happened but couldn’t accept it. The life force was mercilessly devoured by the darkness, and his vision quickly turned to gray.

He grabbed the sword’s blade with one hand and reached for the Envoy with the other, holding on tightly to her collar.

"Why...?"

"You’re too stupid to be God-chosen, fit only to be a stepping stone."

The Envoy waved his hand, drew out the Twilight Deadlock, and cleaved Ailen’s body into two from top to bottom. Darkness surged under his feet, drawing all of the opponent’s power into his own body.

"Austin Lando, you made a deal with the Goddess, promising to find the true God-chosen Knight. During this time, you would bear a curse and gain the power of the Dark Knight."

The Envoy, sword in hand, walked toward Austin: "You’ve betrayed your promise, wasting the precious time of the Goddess. Now, I am the God-chosen, by the Goddess’s decree, to take back Twilight Deadlock and let you depart this life in despair and agony."

"Roar roarr roarr!"

Blazing Dragon Breath spewed forth, a raging column of fire descended, engulfing the figure of the Envoy with his drawn sword.

The black mist spread, the Envoy raising Twilight Deadlock; the moment all flames touched the blade, they were engulfed by the darkness that consumed everything.

"Do you understand now, Austin? This is how Twilight Deadlock is used." The Envoy held the Divine Artifact high, and a black light shot up into the sky.

The next second, a black pillar of light descended from above, black lightning piercing through the back of the White Dragon, emerging from its belly, and pinning it firmly to the ground.

The White Dragon howled in lament, the darkness spreading from the wound, slowly tinting it black.

"Austin, she seems to care about you quite a bit, holding a protective love for you..."

The Envoy sneered menacingly: "Loyalty and love, emotions that cannot betray. She is so much better than you. From now on, she’ll be the mount of the Dark Knight."

"Megan!"

Hefei’s eyes widened in fury, but Austin suddenly grabbed her shoulder, turning around coldly, his eyes filled with rage.

Austin, ignoring her anger, sighed: "If we hadn’t been so stubborn back then, I wouldn’t have become the Dark Knight, and you wouldn’t have run away from home. This family wouldn’t have so many regrets..."

"It was an honor to know you. Take good care of Veronica. Don’t let Wayne bully her."

These words, as if a last testament, made Hefei’s brows twitch, her cold gaze fixed on the jerk who didn’t want to be responsible, immediately shielding behind her.

Dealing with the Dark Knight’s business could wait; in this family, she had always been the one calling the shots, and today would be no exception.

Austin was in extreme pain, watching the steps of the Envoy approaching with the sword, already envisioning what was to come.

He growled repeatedly, stretching out his hand towards Twilight Deadlock, awakening the dormant force of darkness, attempting to take back Twilight Deadlock.

The effect was mediocre; Twilight Deadlock remained unmoved.

"Useless, you don’t understand pain at all..."

The Envoy’s indifferent sneer traveled across the faces of Hefei and Veronica, eventually settling on Veronica: "Your love for your daughter is far less than for your wife, so let’s start with her. The greatest pain should be saved for last, shouldn’t it?"

"No!"

Austin howled in pain, struggling to move forward, every part of him aching as he watched the Envoy toss Twilight Deadlock, the oncoming darkness heading straight for Veronica.

In an instant, Hefei stood in front of her daughter.

Ding!!!

A gray beam of light came from the alley, passing by the helpless Knight Juno and, before Twilight Deadlock could pierce through Hefei, struck it down.

Two Knight’s Swords crossed and landed on the ground, one wrapped in darkness, the other exuding a deathly chill.

"Shadowmare..."

Hefei stared at the Knight’s Sword that appeared suddenly, her heart racing uncontrollably. Beside her, Veronica caught a familiar scent and blankly looked towards the mouth of the alley.

Crack!

Pieces of the Spatial Barrier fell away like shards of a mirror, Wayne stepping into the alley with a dark expression, extending his hand towards Shadowmare.

Zing———

The gray light settled into his palm, the resonating sound of the blade echoing, exceptionally loud and clear in the silent alley.

"Austin, what have you been protecting..."

"You’ve disappointed me so much!"

It would be distressing to end a 10,000-word Chapter abruptly, fearing you couldn’t bear it, so I didn’t end it there but chose another spot.
