Chapter 670: Chapter 275: When he entered the alley, he had 8 legs, but when he came out, he had 10 legs.
"Teacher, Veronica, I’m back,"
Wayne approached with a skull as a head, shyly scratching his bald scalp, looking as if he had successfully completed his mission.
Having no flesh to make a cute face, his fierce skeletal face didn’t seem the least bit punchable.
Veronica blinked, staring straight at the Death Knight before her and said, "You fool..."
"Right, this is Twilight Deadlock. That guy was the Dark Goddess’s Envoy, and I’ve already killed him."
"Killed him?"
"But that was a Divine Envoy..."
Hefei and Veronica simultaneously expressed their concern, feeling that Wayne should not have been so reckless. There were better ways to handle things than killing a Divine Envoy, which was tantamount to cutting off all paths of retreat.
"I know you weren’t hurt, but he had shown a killing intent. You are the most important people to me, and I won’t allow anyone to harm you, not even a goddess!" Wayne said, his eyes shining.
While speaking, he dismissed the Death Knight’s armor and nodded at Yuliya.
Let the people outside withdraw; it’s getting late, everyone should go back and rest well, so they’re ready to work hard for him tomorrow.
Yuliya snorted, nuzzled Wayne’s shoulder with her head, and stepped through the portal to leave.
The sweet nothings Wayne spoke caused Veronica’s heart to bloom with joy. She cast aside her complex thoughts in an instant, wishing to embrace her fiancé tightly and listen to his clear explanations.
Being lied to would be fine; any excuse would do, so long as it was halfway plausible.
Being haughty and overthinking things often made her slower than others. By the time she wanted to embrace him, Wayne was already in Hefei’s arms.
Wayne:)`₃눈)
"Good boy, I knew you were the best,"
Hefei, deeply moved, shared Veronica’s sentiments. She didn’t care about being a Death Knight or not; all that mattered was Wayne was her son. Any explanation would suffice.
If there wasn’t one, she’d help fill in the blanks.
Wayne struggled for a bit but finally managed to extract himself and placed Twilight Deadlock in front of Austin: "Before I killed him, I got everything out of him. That guy really was the Dark Goddess’s Envoy. He’s not the chosen one of darkness; you are, Austin Lando, you’re the Dark Knight personally selected by the Dark Goddess!"
"A crisis has arisen on the Icebound Continent. The power of the three knights is not enough to guard the South Pole. He was sent by the Goddess to awaken you."
The crisis of the Icebound Continent!
Austin’s brows furrowed. He was about to ask Wayne to help him up when he suddenly sensed something was off.
Hefei and Veronica stood to Wayne’s left and right, looking high and mighty, their eyes seemingly regarding him as a piece of societal trash, expecting him to explain his identity as the Dark Knight.
Why are you two standing on his side? Wake up, he’s deceived you! Sure, I’m the Dark Knight, but he’s also the Death Knight!
When the Divine Envoy appeared and took Twilight Deadlock, Austin more or less understood his identity as the chosen one.
The sword might have been taken away, but the darkness and pain within him were constant. The Envoy wanted him to experience even greater despair and pain, to feel the pain, accept the pain, then understand the pain, thus awakening as the true Dark Knight.
He was on the verge of unbearable pain. Although he never voiced it, he was deeply grateful for Wayne’s timely arrival.
So, when Wayne pushed him to the forefront to face the full brunt of the fire, although Austin was extremely dissatisfied and protested, he still chose to take the full onslaught.
In the end, it was he who had put his wife and daughter in jeopardy.
"Teacher, Veronica, this isn’t the place to talk."
Wayne looked concerned for the two, suggesting solemnly, "Give me some face, let’s go home first, and listen to his excuses there."
"Yeah, I also want to hear how he’s going to wriggle out of it,"
Hefei nodded, walked past Austin to reach Megan, lifting her hand to touch the black dragon scales that had changed color, her eyes flashing with compassion: "Megan, if it hurts, don’t endure it."
The White Dragon had now turned into a Black Dragon, her body remolded by the invasion of darkness, stronger than before. Whether it was her tough scales, her streamlined body, or the ferocious horns on her head, everything looked more majestic and oppressive.
Dragonblood evolution, phase two: darkness.
Megan felt the surging power within her, lowered her head with a soft grunt, and averted her gaze from Hefei’s caring eyes, unable to look back.
The Divine Envoy wasn’t wrong about Megan’s protective love for Austin; the feelings were real.
This love was even stronger at first, but when Megan expressed her feelings, Austin unequivocally rejected her. She reassessed her emotions afterward and ended up with a protective stance.
The year Hefei ran away from home, worried about her bedroom being filled by a newcomer, she had Megan watch over Austin to prevent him from fooling around and granted Megan certain liberties to use violence to resolve disputes in extreme situations.
Like annihilating a nuisance with a dragon’s breath.
Austin had been very decent, truly decent. He neither took in any newcomers nor yielded to the advances of Megan, who closely resembled Hefei.
In contrast, Megan, who was held in high regard by Hefei, was suspected of self-sacrifice and nearly committed an act that would betray Hefei’s trust.
The Black Dragon lowered her head, apologizing profusely, like a child who had done something wrong.
Hefei reached out to pet her and accidentally slipped, inadvertently kicking Austin to the ground.
Damnit, look at the mess you’ve made of this home!
Compared to that, her son was exemplary.
Meanwhile, Wayne approached Juno and Celeste, recognizing both individuals. The former was the Princess’s Knight, and the latter was the Magic Department’s Legendary Mage.
And, according to Mona, when Juno called the Butler, she specifically stated her name and emphasized it several times.
