Chapter 69: Death Knight: Peaceful Death is a Gift

~7 min read 1,219 words

Late at night, the street had been blocked, and the yellow isolation tape pulled around proved that something extraordinary had happened here in the morning.

Just in this darkness, a figure slowly walked towards the center of the isolated area. When the moon poked out from behind the clouds, the moonlight illuminated his face. It was Ethan, who had trekked who knew how far and walked who knew how long.

It was hard to imagine how someone who had no memory of human social life and even no human habits could have mixed his way here from the distant Middle East.

Ethan stood at the position where Diping died, and the wailing of souls echoed in his ears.

Ethan had been searching for the traces of Iron Man in New York, but recently Tony had been busy with various scientific research tasks, let alone coming out to act chivalrously, he hadn't even left the door, so he naturally hadn't encountered him.

Originally, Ethan would have continued to wander like this until he saw Tony, but today, the wailing souls here and the defiled death attracted him over.

As Ethan, who had struggled out of death, with the help of the rich death power in his body, automatically advanced to become a part of the death rules, becoming a Death Knight...

The duty of a Death Knight was to pursue those guys who used impermissible despicable means to forcibly extend their lives, and then send them to death. However, Ethan really couldn't exercise this duty because he didn't have this stance.

Because ordinary Death Knights were served by the dead, while Ethan belonged to an accidental job. Strictly speaking, he himself had escaped death by some method, but this method of escaping death was too dependent on luck and too high-end, so the relevant world rules couldn't react to this.

The duty was not easy to execute, but maintaining the purity of death was still a criterion that Ethan's body practiced.

Looking up at the bright moon, Ethan slowly squatted down, pressing his right hand on the ground. Rich, peaceful, and gentle darkness spread from his palm, covering the entire blocked area.

Diping's shattered soul was extracted bit by bit from under the ground. When it appeared in the air, because of the severe spiritual pollution and body transformation during his lifetime, Diping's soul was still wailing constantly.

Without the intervention of external forces, he would continue to wail like this until the soul collapsed between heaven and earth, or was completely swallowed by pollution.

"Death is a natural gift, yet someone has defiled this gift." Ethan's messy hair fluttered in the air with his words. His palm was pressed against Diping's soul, and the power of death surged from his palm, repairing the gaps in the soul.

Because it was too broken, after the repair, Diping's soul was still much smaller and dimmer than a normal adult's soul.

Ethan put his hands together, chanting some difficult-to-understand sentences. These sentences hooked into the power in the dark, peeling off the pollution stained on Diping's soul bit by bit.

A few minutes later, Diping's soul stood blankly on the spot. It no longer needed to wail.

Suddenly, Diping felt a pull of power. This power seemed to be leading him to a certain kingdom of death, but this pull was not mandatory under the influence of Ethan's death domain.

Diping looked blankly at Ethan. His sins and those pollutions were entangled and left his soul, plus the already missing soul, he couldn't be counted as a complete spiritual body now.

"I want to find the guy who defiled death, and then purify his sins. The way of purification is to send him to die," Ethan said calmly, his words slightly terrifying. That guy whose appearance he didn't even know had already surpassed Iron Man to become his first target of hatred.

Ethan reached out to Diping, and the nearby death domain fluctuated, forming a contract, and Ethan and Diping stood at the two ends of the contract, "Are you willing to help me find him?"

The unforgettable hatred drove Diping to make a decision quickly. Ethan's contract didn't hide anything, and Diping's poor thinking could also understand the meaning. After the contract was signed, Diping's identity would completely dissipate, and he would be more thorough than normal death.

Resurrection spells, Greater Wish spells, and other spells, as well as items like Resurrection Medals, Resurrection Crosses, and the Book of the Sun, would all become completely ineffective against Diping because they couldn't capture the target.

His remaining thinking and memories would also slowly calm down and settle under the immersion of death rules until they appeared one last time at the moment Ethan actively purified him.

Diping didn't give Ethan an answer. He just placed his hand above Ethan's hand, and then just floated in the air, looking at Ethan.

"Then, the contract is established!" Ethan announced to Diping.

The entire contract drove the entire death domain to rotate. The power of the contract was divided into two parts and entered into the spiritual bodies of Ethan and Diping. Subsequently, rich darkness poured down from above like ink, soaking Diping and transforming his spiritual body.

A few seconds later, a brand-new spiritual body appeared in front of Ethan. He had a gray-black appearance like a stone statue, making people look at him and feel foolish.

*Ding~*

A black light exploded in Diping's body. The power of the contract was completely manifested and divided into two items that fell into Diping's hands, which were a death knell carved from a skull and a ferocious bone-crushing hammer.

Now, according to the endowment of death rules, Diping had a new nickname: Ghost Killer.

Diping blankly raised the skull death knell in his hand. The death knell swayed in front of his eyes. Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling drove Diping's left hand, and the bone-crushing hammer knocked directly on the death knell.

*Clang~~~*

The crisp sound traveled very, very far. In this sound, Diping and Ethan entered a state of unobservability together, just like ghosts floating on the side of the world. Most energy couldn't touch them, and of course, they couldn't touch others in this state.

Currently, the only thing that could shuttle freely between the two sides was the sound of the death knell. This was also Diping's landmark, so he wouldn't get lost on the side of the world.

"Who's there?!" A shout exploded in the dark night. The security personnel guarding the blocked site finally discovered that someone had entered this area unknowingly.

Diping looked up at the security personnel. That person had nothing to do with him, and he had no intention of paying attention.

In addition, that pull of the kingdom of death was still in effect. Diping didn't like this feeling of being pulled.

*Clang~ Clang~ Clang~*

Diping knocked on the skull death knell rhythmically with the bone-crushing hammer. In this sound, the security personnel were astonished to find that there was nothing in front of them, and the death knell in their ears also became difficult to hear clearly because Diping was getting further and further away from this side of the world.

"There's a ghost!!!"

The security personnel dropped their flashlights and ran away. ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
