The other side.
Bubbles floated past his eyes. Aslit squinted his eyes. Everything in front of him was dark. The coldness of the sea water covered the pain brought by the black magic.
".I failed again?"
The blood-red moonlight shone through the sea and into Aslit's pupils, bringing her back to consciousness. She tightly gripped the knife in her hand.
"… it's not finished yet."
Struggling to swim upwards, Aslit dragged his body and stepped onto the surface of the sea. The sea water dripped onto the shaking sea surface, creating ripples.
Trying to collect the surrounding magic power and confirm that the disturbed magic power was restored, Aslite was about to grow new wings and pounce on Bai Jin who was already analyzing the barrier, when a middle-aged man stood resolutely in front of her.
"Aslit."
The middle-aged man called her name, but unlike the previous times, this time there was no regret or lamentation, only the determination to end it all.
Aslit held the long knife tightly, black electricity running through the blade, and glared at the father who had raised her.
"At this point, do you still want to preach and persuade me to go back?"
Kula Dolan shook his head, "That's no longer necessary.
Aslit, I once thought that if I could help you before you fell into the real abyss, I would be willing to do it even if it cost me my life.
It’s the same now. As long as I can pull you out of the abyss you’ve fallen into, I’m willing to do it even if it costs me my life.
but
I understand now.
I was still a step late. It's not that you fell into the abyss, but that you chose the abyss. You chose to believe that you could complete the transformation by diving into the abyss. You have completely indulged in it.
For you, escaping from the abyss has become an extremely painful thing."
In the past, Kula Dolan would often hear about how a certain family had an unfilial son.
When hearing how the parents of that unfilial son let it go, Kura Dolane would often lament what failures those people were as parents.
Now that he had put himself in their shoes, Kula Dolane could somewhat understand the feelings of those parents.
But he would never say something like "Because she is my daughter, there is nothing I can do."
Since Aslit chose the abyss, and since it was my fault that she chose the abyss, I should at least end everything with my own hands before she makes a bigger mistake.
The waves hit the coast of the nearby island, and amid the rustling sound, Kula Dolan drew his long sword again.
“Aslit.
You may not want to hear my apology, but I'm sorry.
I failed to raise you to be an outstanding person, failed to detect your abnormality in time, and failed to pull you before you fell into the abyss.
And what I have to do next, I'm sorry.
As a father, I am totally unqualified.
But I don’t want to see you go on like this, I don’t want to see you working for people who don’t care about your life or death, I don’t want to see you hurt your siblings, your family, and your compatriots.
So, we have to make a conclusion.”
A dark ghost emerged from behind Kula Dolan and sank into his body.
Aslit supported her body with her sword. A dark ghost also emerged from behind her and sank into her back. She was unmoved by what Kula Dolan said:
"If you want to come and kill me, just say you want to come and kill me. Stop talking nonsense and flattering yourself. It only makes me feel sick!"
"Your heart has been deceived," Kula Dolan slowly spread out his arms, "It's no use saying more. As for the rest, let's talk with swords! This is also the way we used to talk the most."
"That's just what I want. You ruined my good thing last time, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."
Although Bai Jin in the air was the primary target, in the current situation, Aslite knew that if he didn't kick this stinky old man to the ground completely at this moment, this old man would definitely try to obstruct him in every possible way.
Aslit adopted the same stance as Kura Dolan.
The battle was about to break out. The two men started running towards each other almost at the same time. Their figures disappeared at the same time. The next moment, the crisp sound of long swords colliding echoed above the sea, creating layers of waves.
The figures of Aslit and Kura Dolain appeared in the center of the waves at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, Aslite collided with Kula Dolain several times.
Duanfengliu is a fast and accurate swordsmanship style. Duels between fellow disciples are a competition to see who is faster, more accurate and stronger.
Even the duel between Kula Dolain and Aslit did not violate this.
This was a life-and-death duel. Both men were on edge, with swords flashing and metal clashing sounds ringing in the air.
In this kind of confrontation, whoever reveals a flaw first will be the first to lose.
The white hibiscus in the sky is trying its best to analyze the composition of the Eternal Night Barrier.
It was too difficult to completely remove the barrier, so Bai Jin planned to first drill a big hole in the barrier to let in some sunlight to solve the urgent problem, and then gradually expand the hole to let in more sunlight.
Therefore, while Bai Jin was analyzing the magic circle, he was also calculating the angle that would allow the castle where the Blood Earl was located to be filled with sunlight to the greatest extent possible.
Aslite was restrained by Kula Dolan, and the [Blood Earl] had not appeared yet. Yang Yu and his team had probably delayed the [Blood Earl], but they must not let their guard down. Bai Jin still devoted some of his attention in the midst of his busy schedule and remained alert to the surroundings.
After about two or three minutes, Bai Jin completed a preliminary analysis of the Blood Count's Eternal Night Barrier.
However, it is difficult to tamper with the Eternal Night Barrier without attracting the attention of the [Blood Count].
If there is a little surprise.
Just as Bai Jin was thinking this, there was a loud bang, and the out-of-control warship crashed into the barrier. The shaky warship fell apart in an instant, and the magic engine was hit violently, causing a series of explosions. The entire warship turned into a sea of fire, burning fiercely on the sea.
Luo Luosi and his crew had already boarded the ship's lifeboat and watched the warship explode from a distance.
Taking away the straw, Luo Luosi sat on his shell with a few cracks and muttered to himself:
"This kid will probably have to pay a lot of money afterwards. A warship of this quality costs an astronomical amount of money.
None of my business.
These are decisions made out of necessity.
If I have to say, I do have a little bit of responsibility.
Please don't be so petty, considering how hard I work.
You will definitely be able to come back, right?"
Looking at the castle in the distance, Luo Luosi sat cross-legged in the shell. It would take too much time to go over to provide support, and there's a chance that it would make things worse. If He Meng sent a slime to fly over, it would be enough to help most of the time. Now he just sat on the lifeboat and prayed silently that everything would go well for Yang Yu and the others.
Regardless of whether Luo Luosi did it intentionally or not, the timing when the warship smashed into the barrier was just right. When the barrier vibrated, Bai Jin quietly injected his magic power into the magic barrier and began to lift the eternal night barrier of the [Blood Earl].
