Chapter 2131: Burn to ashes

~8 min read 1,531 words

The furnace fire burned fiercely, and no one spoke again. Mr. J no longer smiled falsely. He didn't know the stories of Dawn, Gus, and Laurent, but what he saw were three old people who were willing to face death to complete their beliefs.

Black powder leaked from the bottom of the furnace, with a total amount of no more than 10 grams. This was the "iron" in the Ancient God's body, or rather, the extraordinary substance formed after their bodies, energy, and souls were burned.

"Laurent, it's your turn."

Gus opened the front air plate of the furnace. Just as Laurent, who was lying on the ground, got up, Gus's hand rested on his shoulder, saying: "Leave me an arm, that's enough."

"Know, it."

As soon as Laurent finished speaking, a big mouth full of sharp teeth split open on his tentacles, and he bit down a few times, biting off Gus's two legs and left arm. From beginning to end, Gus didn't make a sound.

Gus said before that he would never lie into the furnace again. The fact was indeed so. He didn't lie in personally, but let Laurent swallow and absorb his two legs and one arm, and enter the furnace.

"This time, I don't owe you anything."

Gus crawled to the furnace with one arm and closed the furnace with a "bang." He laughed a bit crazily, but more of it was relief and relaxation.

The fire in the furnace burned, and Laurent didn't make a sound, bearing the fire burning very calmly.

"Doll, come here."

Gus leaned against the furnace. Hearing this, the Sorrowful Woman, who had been standing quietly by the door, stepped forward.

The Sorrowful Woman, who had never left the Sleepy House, actually took the initiative to come to the Old God Church. According to Su Xiao's guess, this should have been arranged by Laurent.

"Go, take the pure silver from the secret room inside."

"Understood, Lord Gus."

The Sorrowful Woman's voice was still as gentle as that. She had clearly been to the Old God Church and easily opened the door of the secret room inside the church, taking out a metal bottle from it.

From beginning to end, Su Xiao didn't speak, just as a spectator, or rather, this was the last wish of the three Gus. He was an outsider, so it was not suitable to intervene at this time.

"Bai Ye, you can also fight with a sword. When Archid forged the Crescent Moon Light, he mixed a trace of holy silver in it. It is more suitable for quenching high-purity holy silver."

"Bring it here."

Just as Su Xiao raised his hand, the Sorrowful Woman handed the Crescent Moon Light to Su Xiao, but she was clearly a bit reluctant. Her hand slowed down by 0.5 seconds before letting go of the Crescent Moon Light.

The long sword unsheathed. The Crescent Moon Light was about 1.2 meters long, the blade was thin, the sword body was about three fingers wide, and the blade became narrower as it went up.

Clang, clang, clang!

Several slash marks appeared. The Crescent Moon Light was biased toward speed and cutting.

"Can be used, no problem for opening the way, there will be flaws when dealing with strong enemies."

Su Xiao threw the Crescent Moon Light, and Gus caught it.

"That's good."

Gus stuck the Crescent Moon Light on the ground and began to direct the Sorrowful Woman to prepare the holy silver.

The Sorrowful Woman didn't prepare the holy silver immediately, but came to Su Xiao, knelt on one knee, and helped Su Xiao clear the darkness on his body surface for the last time.

Soon, the Sorrowful Woman returned to the furnace. She took off the holy silver headpiece on her head and placed it gently in the stone groove under the furnace. The fire rose, and the headpiece dissolved.

"Bai Ye~ Bai Ye~"

Xia's voice came from behind Su Xiao, the voice was very low.

"Um?"

"What are these people doing? It looks so tragic."

Xia's voice was lower.

"Brain supplement yourself."

"How to brain supplement this~"

Xia's voice was higher. Gus, who only had one arm left, cast his gaze.

"Just three extremely stupid people trying to resist the whole world, nothing big. What you see now are three defeated dogs, that's all."

Gus leaned against the furnace. He hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. Dawn and Laurent, who were burned to ashes, had been relieved. Perhaps their deeds wouldn't spread, but they just did what they wanted to do, that's all.

The Crescent Moon Light slowly returned to its sheath. Gus stared at the long sword in his hand. The last time he saw this sword was when Nia was about to leave.

"Let it drink blood to its heart's content. After holding it, you won't be eroded by darkness."

The sheathed Crescent Moon Light was thrown out. With a "pop," Su Xiao held the Crescent Moon Light.

【You have held Crescent Moon Light (this weapon is in the burning of the moon soul, this effect will last 17 hours. When the moon soul is extinguished, this weapon will be permanently damaged).】

Su Xiao stood up from the steps and gave a heart to the Sorrowful Woman. This was the reward.

Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the Old God Church. Seeing this, Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha followed immediately, and Xia was at the very back.

After Caesar's thief-like eyes looked around, he also followed immediately.

The Sorrowful Woman and Gus stood by the furnace. The furnace fire had a tendency to go out, perhaps never to be ignited again.

With a "boom," Mr. J closed the stone door of the Old God Church from the outside, and it became quiet inside. A moment later.

"Doll, you are free, I should also leave."

Gus pulled out the battle axe on the furnace. From beginning to end, he was just assisting Laurent and Dawn, and now, Laurent and Dawn were sleeping forever here.

"It was interesting when Dawn taught Nia, um, this is not bad."

Gus relied on one arm and a battle axe to come to the stone door, easily opened the stone door and left, and then the stone door was tightly closed.

This was Gus. As long as it was something he recognized, no matter how difficult it was, he would continue. This was the most resilient, most promise-keeping, and most far-sighted Gus.

Is Gus afraid of death? Does he dare not lie into the furnace? Of course not. He was going to cultivate new hope. In that case, even if Su Xiao and others failed, the people in this world wouldn't be completely desperate.

For these three, death was actually a kind of relief. Continuing to live and letting new "seeds" sprout was a more difficult choice. Gus chose to do so, firstly because he was an Immortal Wizard and had his own pride, and secondly, he had two old friends, Dawn and Laurent.

Because of this, Dawn's last words before death were: "It turns out the most fearless one is you, Gus."

Inside the Old God Church, ten minutes later, the furnace fire went out. The Sorrowful Woman pressed the mechanism on the furnace, and the furnace sank into the ground, only exposing Nia's statue above.

The Sorrowful Woman came to the sculpture, holding a heart in front of her chest. Her head leaned against the statue, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Lord Nia, please allow the doll to accompany you."

The luster in the Sorrowful Woman's eyes faded, and she slowly closed her eyes. A sense of satisfaction that had never appeared before appeared in her heart. The doll had a "heart" from beginning to end, and didn't need a crystal heart at all.

"That's how it is, clear now."

Baha squatted on Amu's shoulder. Just now, it told Xia about Nia, Dawn, Gus, Laurent, and the Sorrowful Woman.

"So heavy, the most pitiful one is Nia."

"Nothing is heavy, everyone has things they want to complete. They all went straight forward, never confused."

Baha suddenly turned into a life mentor, but with its personality, it probably fed poisonous chicken soup.

"Um! Makes so much sense."

Xia was clearly fooled by Baha.

"That passage just now, sounds familiar."

Mr. J touched his chin thoughtfully.

"That's a movie line."

Su Xiao inserted the Crescent Moon Light into his waist while speaking.

"No wonder it sounds familiar, that movie seems to be... forgot the specifics, but it's definitely a bad movie."

"Ha?"

Xia was stunned, and the heavy mood vanished instantly.

"Um, makes so much sense," Baha learned Xia's tone just now, and then made an unconscionable laugh.

"Too much."

Xia smiled, and then thought of the big enemy in Aisenla. She learned from Baha that the other party was an old schemer.

Thinking of this, Xia's brain hurt. In fact, she didn't need to worry at all. Before, only Su Xiao was alone, and he forced Sfink to a dead end. And now, another Mr. J who was proficient in layout had come. ===== CHAPTER 2132 =====
