Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 908 - 254: Divine Artifact Overlord Sword, Ultimate Despair

Gradually, the young man began to look forward to the appearance of this beam of light.

The accompanying days, Li's sly smile when teaching him to distinguish edible mushrooms, the warmth of leaning on his shoulder while dozing off during night watch, the tacit understanding when fighting back to back... These fragments of warmth, like sparks of a fire, slowly melted the ice-bound heart of the young man.

One morning, when Li hummed a song to weave a wreath, the young man found himself unexpectedly smiling.

This discovery flustered the young man, yet he was irresistibly drawn to this unfamiliar feeling.

The young man began to have expectations.

Expectations for the sunrise tomorrow, for the next habitat, for every moment spent with Li.

Overlord Sword silently observed all of this, always waiting for an opportunity.

As a Divine Artifact that controls the host's emotions, it clearly understood what true despair was.

Watching the growing friendship between the young man and Li, a sinister plan gradually formed in its heart.

It knew well that for the young man, who lived in darkness for so long, prolonged suffering had numbed him.

What could truly crush him was having regained hope, only to see it shatter and fall back into darkness.

One night, Overlord Sword found its chance and began to act.

It released its unique alluring power, drawing in a squad of the Alien Race.

Unprepared, the young man and Li were surrounded by the Alien Race squad, leading to a life-and-death battle.

In the battle, Li assisted on the side, the two cooperating seamlessly.

Facing desperation, hope for survival burned within them, firm in the belief that united, they could break through.

During the struggle, the young man, empowered by the strength bestowed upon him, charged fearlessly like a formidable beast, repeatedly hindering the Alien Race's offensive.

Li, too, with his agile skills, ingeniously assisted the young man, making their teamwork flawless.

But ultimately, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Facing the ferocious assault of the Alien Race and seeing Li's wounds multiply, intense anger surged within the young man.

Overlord Sword secretly exerted its power at this moment, subtly interfering with the young man's mind.

As the battle went on, the young man's emotions began to lose control.

His eyes gradually turned blood red, and his rationality was eroding under Overlord Sword's influence.

At this moment, the young man became like the Demon who slaughtered the village that night, with only an endless desire for killing remaining in his heart.

When the young man massacred the Alien Race, Li, noticing the young man's abnormality, became anxious and recklessly rushed to his side, attempting to awaken him from his fall.

But even Li's loud shouts couldn't reach the young man's ears.

In a frenzy, the young man, under Overlord Sword's control, suddenly turned and thrust the sharp blade straight at Li.

Overlord Sword recalls the scene vividly; time seemed to freeze, Li's eyes filled with disbelief and shock, unable to react or dodge.

The blade pierced through Li's chest effortlessly; blood gushed forth, splattering on the young man's face.

At that moment, Overlord Sword released its control over the young man's emotions.

When the young man regained his sanity and saw the tragic sight, he immediately fell into despair.

He trembled, kneeling on the ground, embracing Li's gradually cold body, his lips quivering, unable to utter a single sound.

In Overlord Sword's readings, fragments of past interactions with Li, those warm and beautiful scenes, surged in the young man's mind like a relentless tide.

He wanted to scream, to cry, but his throat felt strangled, only able to utter a hoarse whimper.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from the young man's eyes, blurring his vision.

Overlord Sword knew that the young man's world had completely collapsed at this moment.

The young man finally bowed his head, pressing his face against Li's, feeling Li's dissipating warmth.

At this moment, the despair in the young man's heart was like an endless black hole, having completely consumed him.

Having personally killed the only cherished person in this world, this sin would forever shadow him, making every moment of his remaining life tormented by the pain of despair, with no day of relief.

The cruelest thing wasn't never having warmth but genuinely touching the light, only to push oneself back into the Abyss.

Listening to the young man's cries of despair in the pouring rain, Overlord Sword enjoyed the feast of extreme negative emotions to its fullest.

That meal was so delightful.

After that, the host was broken.

The thoroughly numb young man became like a zombie, several suicidal attempts blocked by it, Overlord Sword lost its patience.

Realizing this host had lost his use.

And through the young man's suffering, Overlord Sword had grown significantly, eventually leaving mercilessly when the young man faced another danger during his continued wanderings.

Letting the young man fall in the blood pool, to be devoured by Monsters.

Originally, it planned to find a new host after leaving the young man, starting a new journey of torment.

Unexpectedly, flying over the Frost Winter Snow Region, it discovered an intense battle ongoing below.

One side's soldiers seemed somewhat similar to the Black Tide, yet they were clearly not Evil Spirit Soldiers of the Black Tide, unspeakably peculiar.

As it flew over the battlefield, a purple-skinned creature suddenly flew up from below.

The life wave of the opponent was extremely strong; such a powerful creature was not suitable as a host, realizing captured would mean becoming a tool, it desperately fled for its life.

The purple-skinned creature seemed uninterested in it, only glancing at it before striking out in space and returning.

But that seemingly casual strike made it lucky to escape death, breaking something in its hurry.

Looking back now, it still feels unsettled.

Now it is severely wounded, urgently needing Rule Energy and Qi Blood Energy to recover its injuries.

Its consciousness swept toward the weak creature approaching, the fangs within Overlord Sword poised to strike.

"It's you, next host, hope we can have a pleasant journey!"
