Kind-hearted Grim Reaper
Chapter 49 - 14: Hades is Gone_1
An icy sensation continued to permeate into Ah Dai’s body from the leather bag, the experiences of Owen’s life deeply shocked his heart, and he subconsciously decided that no matter what, he must take revenge for his uncle. "Uncle, can I practice the last four moves of the Hades Nine Decisions?"
Owen solemnly replied, "No, absolutely not. The evil aura contained in the last four moves is too strong. If this evil energy enters your body, you will be controlled by the sword, losing your mind and becoming its puppet, a demonic murderer. Hence, you absolutely can’t attempt to use the moves beyond your level of understanding. Ah Dai, have my eyes turned gray?"
Ah Dai was startled and looked at Owen’s eyes. Sure enough, his eyes were completely replaced by a gray color, which looked extraordinarily eerie.
Owen sighed, "This is the backlash of using the Hades Sword Technique beyond one’s level. Fortunately, I am about to die, so I cannot become a demonic murderer. But you must be careful, you must not casually use the advanced moves. Although I can execute the fourth move of the Hades Sword Technique, my skills aren’t strong enough to consecutively use Nether Flash, Continuous Nether Flash, Nether Slash, and Nether Shadow, so the evil aura has completely assimilated my meridians. If it were not for severe training in the ninth stage of life, I would have already lost my mind. Child, there is nothing absolute in the world. If used well, it is good. If used evilly, it is evil. You need to understand this principle." Just as he finished speaking, a surge of blue light suddenly appeared on Owen’s face, his expression changed, and he belched out a mouthful of blood containing both red and blue.
Ah Dai was anxious and hurriedly accelerated the input of the remaining true Qi into Owen’s body. Owen’s body trembled and he seemed to be fighting against the deadly poison of the Undying Holy Water. After a while, his heaving chest gradually calmed down, but his eyes had dimmed a lot. With a weak voice, he said, "Ah Dai, tie the Sword of Hades to your chest, quickly."
Ah Dai was startled. How could his kind-hearted self help Owen’s final wish? He tore off his outer garment and slanted the leather bag on his body with his right hand, tighting the strap. The hilt of the Hades Sword was just against his chest, and the icy energy entered his body. Ah Dai felt refreshed; his life energy, as if driven, quickly circulated. The energy that was originally about to run out became stronger. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
With Ah Dai’s support, Owen barely suppressed his urge to vomit more blood. He knew that the deadly poison within his body was nearly unstoppable and that death was coming closer and closer. "Ah Dai, you... you must promise uncle, you must never abandon the Sword of Hades. Learn the first technique as soon as possible, only then can you continue to survive in this cunning society. As for the last four moves in the Hades Nine Decisions, if your life energy and holiness can reach beyond the ninth stage of life then you can try, but be cautious not to be backfired by the evil aura. Don’t provoke the Assassin’s Guild easily, their power is enormous. Your kindness will not allow you to fight them head-on. And remember, when you helped me manufacture the silver ball to suppress the Undying Holy Water, you must keep it. Although it cannot cure the Undying Holy Water, if you contract any other serious poison, you can use the same method to gather the poison, forcing it out of your body. What a pity. If my skills had reached the ninth stage of life, perhaps I could have collected all of the scattered poisons of Undying Holy Water onto the silver ball. After I die, burn my body along with the house with the flame spell you’ve been practicing, so that the poison in my body won’t harm others. Born here, and die here, I’m returning to my roots. Good child, don’t cry, uncle doesn’t like to see you cry. You are a man and you have to be stronger. I can’t take care of you anymore after this, so you must take care of yourself alright?" After saying this, Owen couldn’t stop vomiting a mouthful of blood again. His face was covered with a dense blue aura. Overconsumption of Qi, the invasion of deadly poison, and the backlash of evil aura, even a Sky God, might not be able to save his life. Upon vomiting blood, Owen’s spirit seemed to improve a bit, a hint of blush appeared on his blue face.
Ah Dai’s tears had already soaked his lapel. He felt very clearly that his uncle, who had lived with him for five years, was dying bit by bit. All he could do was keep nodding his head, agreeing to Owen’s last request.
After coughing up another mouthful of fresh blood, Owen reached out his now-blue hand and gently stroked Ah Dai’s hair. The final flicker of life seemed to perk up his spirit. Smiling, he whispered, "Child, do you know?"
