Soul of Negary
chapter-101

As they clashed, Negary's Dragon of Eternal Sin body gradually collapsed, quite a bit of the body started to transform into a mud-like substance.

This substance attached to Negary's body, constantly trying to assimilate him.

This mud represented the power of the Black Abyss that Nala left on his body, they were and had been constantly corroding Negary, trying to pull him into the Black Abyss.

At the same time, Negary unleashed another scorching hot dragon's breath to burn the headless girl. Although she would not be harmed under the influence of the Black Abyss, it could still consume the power of destiny that created all this.

The headless girl wielded the Dragonscale sword, constantly exuding the power of the Black Abyss from her body, pushing back Negary's dragon's breath in order to approach Eldridge.

Negary's dragon tail swung forward again, the tail-end tentacles extended to wrap around the headless girl's body, his three fleshy wings also continued to flap nonstop, trying to prevent Nala from moving forward.

Eldridge's life was currently sustained entirely by the blob of flesh that detached from Negary's body, so he could easily be killed by receiving a single attack from the headless girl's sword.

The headless girl raised her long sword, gathering the power of the Black Abyss into it. Negary was trapped by the mud created from the power of the Black Abyss, so his restraints on Nala were becoming weaker and weaker.

〖 Nala, are you still treading the right path? 〗 Negary abruptly questioned.

Nala, who was about to unleash the attack to kill Eldridge, suddenly paused. Negary took that chance to pull Nala back several steps with all his power.

After a long stalemate, Eldridge finally managed to connect to his believers. As Eldridge's head began to float away from the blob of flesh, the world around them appeared more and more fake until the chosen future destiny shattered, revealing the true world in front of Negary.

The warm flame hadn't been extinguished, and Nala was still standing by the flames, lowering the Dragonscale sword that had almost cleaved through half her neck.

Eldridge's floating head slowly closed his eyes. Negary half-squinted his eyes as he could feel that Eldridge's True Spirit had left his body, but instead of directly disappearing into reincarnation, it had returned to the Royas Kingdom through the Last God's power.

Perhaps in the near future, the Royas Kingdom might actually have a real Guardian God, but of course, that had nothing to do with Negary.

"Hack, hack, hack… in the end, I still lost in the hands of Lord Negary" Granny Seal'e had collapsed on the ground, her old body falling on death's door. Obviously, the backlash from having her destiny broken was great.

"Although I had great confidence in my destiny, as soon as I think of the enemy being lord Negary, the thought of 'I might be defeated by Lord Negary' would always manifest in my mind" Granny Seal'e chuckled: "And sure enough"

"There is just one thing I do not understand. Where did I slip up that you purposely hid Eldridge just to deal with me?" Granny Seal'e asked with a bitter smile.

〖 You never slipped up at all. I had simply never trusted anyone, that is all 〗Negary still maintained his Dragon of Eternal Sin form, as a large amount of Black Abyss mud was still clinging on to his body. In order to win this battle, the majority of his soul was inside this body, if he dispelled the Dragon of Eternal Sin form right now, his normal dragon body would find it difficult to resist the assimilation of the Black Abyss mud.

"So that's how it is? That is truly Lord Negary's style" Granny Seal'e said with a smile before her eyes widened and her life signs thoroughly stopped.

〖 I'm still not strong enough 〗

Despite winning the battle, Negary was still extremely dissatisfied with his own strength. There were too many uncontrollable factors.

Since the factors that determined his own life and death were still held in the hands of others, Negary found it unacceptable. For example, if Eldridge had not been able to establish a connection to his believers outside of the destiny in time, Negary wouldn't have survived either.

In the end, the reason was still because of Negary's lack of strength. If he was strong enough, he would have been able to directly break Seal'e's destiny, or perhaps notice Seal'e's scheme ahead of time and prevent all this trouble in the first place.

"If you hadn't exposed it yourself this time, I wouldn't have realized that a part of you was lurking inside me" Nala who was standing by the first flame suddenly spoke up: "How terrifying, Negary"

In the false future, if Negary was simply questioning whether Nala was still treading the right path, he would have most likely already been dead. There was no [Protagonist Aura] in this world, and simple words did not have the power to change anything.

Negary's words were indeed very charismatic, but each time, he would always combine it with psychology, mental power, or powers like [Dragon's Pressure] in order to achieve the desired effect.

In that false future, although Nala had become the Decapitated, a part of Nala's essence still remained because it was false. Negary had used the second personality hidden inside Nala to stimulate and awaken her, thus stalling for a bit of time.

〖 Do you want to kill me now? 〗 Negary casually asked: 〖 After all, your father died because of me, your mentor Chris was also killed by me, and your followers who came with you this time also died at my hands 〗

"No, I can still feel that it would be extremely hard to kill you right now. This would waste a lot of time" Nala denied this, her eyes were fully focused on Negary and asked: "I just want to ask you one question. Why does one without a True Spirit, an embodiment of error like you, exist?"

〖 Why does the fact that I have no True Spirit mean that I can't exist? 〗Negary asked in return: 〖 Perhaps when I was still named Wang Yuan, I would have also pondered the meaning of my existence and the reason why I existed 〗

〖 Everyone has something in their heart that they want, but cannot pursue 〗

〖 Because those things, to them, are wrong 〗Negary pointed at Nala and said, 〖 You are also the same 〗

〖 You have indeed treaded the right path from the very beginning, and your heart never wavered, but you are not truly without other pursuits. It was because of this that the Negary in your heart had grown to such a degree that you couldn't even discover him 〗

〖 Wang Yuan was a terrible human being. He was lazy, arrogant, cowardly, easily satisfied, and did things without thinking. His greatest, or perhaps, only strength was that he had the courage to change, and thus I existed in his heart 〗

〖 Every waking moment, I think about how to become stronger, to seize every opportunity, to become an existence that can overcome my limitations, surpass my own limits, and dominate over everything. I am the ideal within Wang Yuan 〗

〖 My existence itself was the meaning for Wang Yuan's existence and pursuit. At the same time, most people have more or less the same pursuits as Wang Yuan in their hearts 〗Negary continued: 〖 I do not need a meaning to exist, instead, 'Negary' is the meaning of existence that others need 〗

〖 And so, Negary exists in everyone's hearts 〗
