Chapter 273 Salman's Letter
Since Hogg's death in battle, Sett has officially taken over the leadership of the Disaster Clan and become the new king of the Disaster Clan.
Afterwards, Set also followed Hogg's previous method. While doing his best to improve his strength, he absorbed the free chaotic power in the world, integrated the disaster clan, and began to deal with the attacks that appeared from time to time.
If it were just some people affected by the power of chaos, it would be fine. The Disaster Clan can handle it with their strength.
But this world has gods, such as Death, Nature, and the Sun. Even though they are gods, they cannot resist the erosion of Chaos and eventually become monsters without reason, only madness and destructive desire.
When the world fell into madness, the only conscious members of the Disaster Clan became the target of everyone's concentrated attacks.
After the gods were killed, the disaster clan could no longer hold on.
Noy, Hart, Austin, Kanzaros, and even Set's lover Dottie died in that battle.
Not only that, Harvey's right arm was swallowed by the monster transformed by the Dragon God, and Set's eyes were blinded by the sharp blade condensed by the power of death of the goddess of death.
Just when the Disaster Clan was about to be destroyed, Soros took the initiative to dig out his own eyes and gave them to Set.
With the enhanced analysis provided by the Verdant Eyes, Set can absorb more power of chaos without falling into madness.
Regardless of the cost, Set successfully eliminated all the enemies.
Although they won, the Disaster Clan suffered heavy losses, with almost 70% of their warriors dying in this war.
I thought that after such a tragic victory, there would be a long period of peace, but that was not the case.
After the monsters assimilated by the power of chaos died, they reintegrated into chaos, making the power of chaos in the world even stronger.
At the same time, the corpses were completely transformed into monsters, the same kind that Ronnie encountered at the beginning.
In desperation, Set had to let everyone stay in the shield to prevent them from being assimilated by chaos, and he also used the vines of the sacred tree to create a mask that could temporarily resist the erosion of chaos.
Afterwards, let the masked soldiers take turns guarding the outside of the shield.
Although Seth did everything he could, facing the inevitable fate of destruction, these efforts seemed so insignificant.
After all, after this world was born, a countdown appeared in the minds of all living beings, and that was the countdown to destruction.
As soon as the time comes, a terrifying existence that condenses all the chaotic forces of the world and is completely irresistible will be born and completely devour the world.
This is also the reason why places outside the Disaster Clan fell so quickly.
After all, when faced with a fate that is doomed to destruction, few people can keep their original intentions. Most of them release their inner desires, become puppets driven by desires, and are eventually completely assimilated by chaos.
Before, Neo went to explore the place where the so-called world-destroying monster was born.
After listening to Soros's story, Ronnie was silent for a long time.
Although he knew that they were not the people he was familiar with, their memories, appearance, and even their souls were exactly the same as those Ronnie was familiar with.
Recalling the faces and voices of those familiar people, Ronnie's inner sadness and pain could no longer be described in words.
"Ronnie..."
Soros, sensing Ronnie's sadness, didn't say much. He reached out and gently stroked his face to comfort him.
After a moment's silence, Ronnie spoke in a hoarse voice.
"As for Salman, he is a lich. As long as his phylactery is not destroyed, he will not die."
"Salman."
Soros looked at the sacred tree outside the window with a complicated expression.
"The maintenance of the sacred tree requires consumption. Without the support of the world, Salman can only use his own soul to maintain it. I'm afraid he can't hold on any longer now."
Although Soros' words were light, they still hit Ronnie's heart like a hammer.
"I want to see him."
"Ah."
Soros responded softly, then pointed the way for Ronnie and told him where Galle was.
"And Gala, she is also burning her soul to protect all of us in order to maintain the shield. I have always known that she likes you, so go and see her as well."
After saying that, Soros closed his eyes. He was extremely weak now. Being able to talk to Ronnie for such a long time was already his limit. Now he fell into a deep sleep.
Ronnie took a deep breath, gently put Soros on the bed, covered him with a blanket, kissed him on the forehead, and left.
Come to the sacred tree and find Salman.
Although he looks like a skeleton without flesh and blood, his bones were once smooth and white, more like porcelain than bones.
But now, his entire body has merged into the sacred tree. Several vines have penetrated into his chest, surrounding an extremely weak soul and absorbing it.
At the same time, the white bones have now turned gray, as if they have been weathered for countless years, giving people a feeling that they will break at the touch.
"Salman..."
Ronnie called softly, thinking that Salman would rush over to hug his thighs as nervously as before, and then rub his skull head against him.
Ronnie had already decided that he would not slap him away this time, but after calling him for a long time, Salman did not respond.
Anxiously, Ronnie went forward to investigate.
The two balls of purple soul fire that were supposed to be dancing in Salman's eye sockets have now become extremely thin, as if they would be extinguished by the wind.
"Salman..."
Ronnie called Salman's name again, but the ending remained the same. Suddenly, Ronnie noticed out of the corner of his eye that Salman was holding a letter tightly in his bony hand.
After taking it, Ronnie began to check it out.
[My Lord, although I know that I am not the Salman you know, my sincerity towards you is evident to all, and my admiration for you is like the endless torrent of rivers... An idiom dictionary is omitted here.]
[But even if I am fake, I firmly believe that you will come back. ]
Looking at Salman's familiar handwriting and these rather indecent words, Ronnie's mouth corners involuntarily rose.
However, not long after, the upturned corners of his mouth sank.
[My Lord, the world is becoming increasingly dilapidated. Before the countdown to destruction, almost everyone has fallen into madness and will soon be assimilated.]
[My Lord, more and more enemies appeared and attacked the Disaster Clan, but fortunately we won in the end.]
[I didn't expect that the gods would also be assimilated and turned into monsters, but at the last moment, His Highness Set exploded and killed all the enemies. I have to say that His Highness Set is becoming more and more like you, both handsome and majestic. Now I can no longer call Set His Highness, but His Majesty.]
[Although I have forgotten many things, I still remember the slap my Lord gave me on the face, the feeling of the dragon scales touching my bones, hehehe... Okay, I admit that I am a pervert, I really want to experience it again...]
[My Lord, when will you come back... I may @ (crossed out) ￥%&￥..., please come back soon. ]
In order to continuously maintain the sacred tree, Salman's soul was constantly consumed, resulting in his memory and thinking constantly disappearing. In the end, his handwriting had become crooked, and it was almost impossible to tell what he had written, and there were many places where he had made corrections.
But throughout the letter, Ronnie only saw Salman's longing for him. Even in this letter, it seemed as if he didn't want to make him worry. He only talked about good things and didn't mention any bad things.
Ronnie also knew that the last things that were crossed out were written by Salman when he was last conscious. After writing the last sentence, his consciousness completely dissipated.
