Chapter 652 - LIBRA GEM
Chapter 652 – LIBRA GEM
LUO YAN grinned widely when he saw the two. Earlier, before he decided to use the [Shadow Cage], he had contacted Eclipse through telepathy.
When Eclipse still couldn't transform to his humanoid form, their only way of communication was through that. So, whenever they did grind for experience together, he had always tried to test the distance on which their telepathy worked. And he discovered by many trials and errors that the limit of their telepathic range was about five kilometers.
But when Eclipse was finally able to transform into a humanoid form, their telepathic communication also evolved in a way. The distance they could communicate varied depending on the size of the map they were on. Because as long as they were on the same map, they could communicate telepathically. So, it wasn't a problem connecting to the other.
He told Eclipse to go to where he was and to take Dusk along with him. Because of their master-pet contract, Eclipse could easily track his location. With the Dark Saint's attention on him and Shen Ji Yun, the other didn't even notice that the huge dragon hovering over the island disappeared.
And thus, ending up in this situation.
"Mashter, we're not late, right?" Eclipse asked.
"No, you're just in time," he said.
The Dark Saint tilted his head, completely uncaring of his current situation. He didn't even seem panicked that all his movement was technically sealed as if he could get out of this with just a simple flick of his fingers.
"Is this the cavalry?" The Dark Saint then glanced back at Dusk who was still clenching his neck using his arm. "Why do you look familiar?"
Dusk gritted his teeth, angered by the other's obvious disregard. He simply directly grabbed the other's neck, his claws digging into the skin. "Shut your mouth."
"Oh, I remember now. You're that dragon. Are you here to save your father?"
Shit. – Luo Yan cursed inwardly when he heard the Dark Saint's question. Doubt obviously appeared on Dusk's face. He made great effort not to mention Beelzebub's name around Dusk. And yet this bastard was about to make all that effort go to waste.
"Eclipse, he already has that item," he said before the Dark Saint could say anything more detrimental. Then, he added telepathically, [The item is inside the sash of his robe. Kill him and avenge your parents.]
It was the parting 'gift' he gave the Dark Saint earlier before he used [Shadow Walk].
An almost crazy smile appeared on the little boy's face. [Yes, Mashter.]
A dagger made of shadow appeared in Eclipse's hand. Without wasting any time, he slashed it down on the sash. A small gem that almost looked transparent fell out of the sash. At the center of the gem, a justice scale was embedded. Like some kind of mark sculpted there.
If one was not looking carefully, they would have definitely missed the gem. Mainly because of its color and size. But since was Eclipse was already expecting it, he managed to immediately snatched it.
"Uncle, hold him a bit more tightly," he said.
Dusk did so. He seemed like he had already calmed down from what the Dark Saint had said earlier about his father.
The bastard, as usual, still looked uncaring. There was even a hint of anticipation in his eyes. As if he couldn't wait to see just what kind of tricks they would pull off next.
Luo Yan almost wanted to ask, 'really, just how bored are you?'. The other probably hadn't experience any stimulation from the past thousand years that he's acting like this? Well, anyway, that didn't matter. Because soon, this farce would be over and the Dark Saint would no longer have that expression.
Eclipse raised his hand that was holding the gem and ruthlessly shoved it to the Dark Saint's chest. In particular, to the area where his heart was. Black blood gushed out from the wound. But the Dark Saint still only had that curious expression. That was until Eclipse injected his Mana into the gem.
The Dark Saint's expression suddenly changed. Finally, a crack appeared on it. "You- what are you doing?"
It was Luo Yan who answered him.
"He's injecting Mana on the gem that is now buried in your heart. By now you should know that the gem I'm talking about was no ordinary gem. It's called the Libra gem. Once it's inserted in the heart of someone, it could judge that person's sin. If you didn't commit any, then, you have nothing to worry about. But if you do, then, you will be punished. The level of punishment will all depend on how much you have sinned. With the many lives that you took, do you want to guess just how severe its punishment would be?"
He said that last one with a smile, as if reveling at the other's upcoming demise.
What he didn't mention was that this gem needed the Mana of someone who had the right to judge the target's sins. And who had more right here to do that than Eclipse? His parents were killed. His fellow tribesmen were sacrificed. The village he should have grown up in was destroyed. He was basically robbed of, well, everything. So, it's just right for him to be the one doing this.
The Dark Saint's face completely changed after hearing what Luo Yan said. His expression completely turned vicious. As if he couldn't wait to kill them all. Black Mana came out from his severe limbs and attacked Eclipse.
Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun both moved at the same time and prevented the black Mana from reaching the little boy. The more they parried against it, the paler the Dark Saint became.
"This is for all the lives that you took. For the mother and father that you took away from me. And for all the evil that you have done," Eclipse said, staring straight at the Dark Saint's eyes.
Then he took out his hand from the other's chest and jumped back. Seeing that, all three of them – he, Shen Ji Yun, and Dusk – all did the same.
And in the next moment, they all heard the miserable cry of the Dark Saint.
