Chapter 594: 11.120 First Green Star - Punishment World: 'Purgatory' (17)

Hei Mo spoke, "Let's forget about the problems of the future with no exact time when it will come. I wanted to know more about what happened to you both after I left Vearth."

Ye Xiajie and Hei Anjing looked at each other and sighed as they smiled helplessly. Obviously, this old man changed the topic on purpose to remove any hindrances that would affect their Trials of Revival. Though they weren't experts in having such a conversation with the man they thought was their enemy, they still entertained the elders and told them about their past. It was Hei Anjing who was talking most of the time and Ye Xiajie was sitting beside them as he listened to the rare conversation between Grandfather and Grandson.

While the three were having a good time having a family tea party in the Empyrean Domain, those guys in the Punishment world are now being targeted by demiG.o.ds and false G.o.ds from the audience seat of the colosseum.

After witnessing the death of the Fallen G.o.d Lucien, these DemiG.o.ds and False G.o.ds finally treated Han Ya and his team as a threat. Not only are they unkillable c.o.c.kroaches, but they also have two whose capabilities aren't readable. To them Chu Mo and Lan She are still hiding their strength. Just the fact that they could create such a defensive array that could block those with demiG.o.d cultivation strength and above showed some extent of their hidden strength.

Seraphim Xu saw one of his race's Archangels being surrounded by mortals and using all kinds of props and scrolls on him just to remove the seals in his memories. Seeing this he couldn't help but be mad, who is Archangel Ming, it was the most loyal servant he took from the abyssal city before. He is not willing to get his toy taken from him.

"These mortals are too much. How dare you toyed on my angels!!" said Seraphim Xu.

He spread his white wings behind his back as he raised a gold scepter which seems to be able to control the sun itself. Holy elements were gathered in his area with him at the center. For the first time in h.e.l.l, the sun was no longer red but resumed its original yellow bright glow illuminating the whole colosseum.

With Seraphim Xu as the catalyst, the sun glows brightly. The lower-leveled demons and fallen perished and turned to ashes on the spot with the strong aura of light in the area. Some were blinded as they openly watched the sun descend.

Seeing his skin with few burns, the tingling feeling of the skin turning to ashes made Vampire Duke Sylvie scream in fear.

"AHH... AHH~ No... I don't want to disappear. I don't want to die... Save me~" said Sylvie as he wanted to use his arms to block the sunlight from touching his face. He felt the fear of disappearing to nothingness for the first time as he watches his skin burns to ashes.

Even Vampire Duke Sylvie was affected by the sunlight and almost got burned by it.

Zane hugged him and hid Sylvie in his embrace. Using his back to block the sun for his lover, one could see how much his back was burned and blood seeped from his wounds.

"D-Don't cry, silly~. I'm here. I promise to protect you when we exchange blood for our marriage. I will not allow you to die as long as I am alive." whispered Zane to Sylvie.

Thankfully, Zane appeared before him and hugged him tightly within his embrace but he knew that as the Progenitor of Vampires, his sole weakness is also the sun.

Zane's soothing voice entered Sylvie's ears. He had a feeling that this warmth that engulfed him from all sides had been something supporting him all this time but for some reason, he forgot about it. After the Fallen G.o.d had died, he was supposed to hate this man who was hugging him. But his body isn't willing to push him away.

Flashes of memories burst from within his head. He wasn't sure if it was because the one who sealed his memories had died or because he recalled it on his own. He no longer cares when Sylvie finally remembers the importance of this man hugging him with his life. He knew... he left him for too long. It was his fault, he shouldn't have separated from him in that game. Who would expect not only that he was betrayed by the player he tried to save, but they also killed him, making him fall into this punishment world where the demon race took interest in him as a pureblood vampire's bride.

On the brink of death, he finally remembered who Zane is, Sylvie's tears strolling uncontrollably on his face. He even forgot the pain of burns on his body and face. His longing for this man's warmth and embrace had been long marked within his soul. He is the Vampire's Bride. The lover of the Pureblood Vampire in Abyssal World. Zane's eternal love.

Sylvie calls with mist covering his eyes, he reaches out his hand and wraps it at the waist of the man doing his all to protect him. He ignored the pain of burns on his arm and kept hugging his beloved. As a blood race member, his control over blood is only second to Zane, so he controlled the blood element to continuously heal his lover's back as he turned blind to his own pain.

Sylvie said, "My dear, I can remember my past now. I will no longer get separated from you. Whether it was in death or life. I will be with you, Zane."

Finally hearing the intimate way his lover calls him in the past, Zane knew his lover, Sylvie remembered their past. Just this fact alone may make him blissful at this moment that he almost forgot the pain in his back.

Zane hugs and kisses Sylvie. Ever since he had lost Sylvie, Zane had been living a life like h.e.l.l. He wandered in all Game zones in the Abyssal City, and entered all games just to look for Sylvie but still, no one found any traces of him. Suddenly, one day an unknown message without a sender came to his place.

That letter says everything about the Punishment world and that all players who died inside the game in the Abyssal City would fall in that place. That is considered h.e.l.l in this world, failures were all thrown in that place to be converted into an Abyssal Monster.

It was also written that there is some kind of special event in the last trial where one could contact the land which players considered as the upper realm or heavens in this world. Empyrean Domain, this is a sanctuary where only DemiG.o.ds and above live.

Zane's original intention for entering the punishment world is to ask those demiG.o.ds and false G.o.ds for a favor. He wanted them to help him find his missing lover, Sylvie and in exchange, he is willing to serve them as his G.o.d. But who would have thought he would meet his childhood friend, Han Ya in the second trial.

Seeing a friend from where he originally belonged and also knowing about the existence of his lover, Sylvie, truly completed Zane's day. At that moment, he had finally seen a trace of his past. He knew that even if he forgot Sylvie accidentally there would be Han Ya helping him to remember. Just these thoughts alone made his long-time anxiety fade slowly with time. Plus, his friend was not alone this time. He finally met his fated one. One who had moved his heart and would love forever like how he had loved Sylvie.

Zane was prepared to die if Sylvie wasn't found even in the Punishment World. He was already thankful that he met Han Ya, his only friend in his whole life, and knew he wouldn't be lonely even if he pa.s.sed away. Because An Yuan would stay with him instead.

But fate is merciful, he allows him to meet Sylvie, his most beloved person in the end. His happiness is now fulfilled.

Zane was smiling as he looked lovingly at his lover, "Sweetie... I... I am... extremely grateful to... see you in the end... Really! So thankful."

He slowly closed his eyes, making Sylvie panic in shock. With his hands covered with his lover's blood and Zane suddenly fainting, Sylvie thought that his lover was dying. When Zane held him he hugged him like he was his life despite the astonishment imprinted on his face. He was about to cry out in pain and sadness when suddenly the sunlight was blocked by Lan She who was observing him and Zane with a calm face.

Sylvie knew this man was Zane's teammate and an extremely powerful player at that.

"P-Please... Save him... I'm willing to do anything!!!" said Sylvie.

Lan She spoke, "He is okay. Do you not see his back all healed already? He and the whole team were blessed with immortality for a day. There is no way he would die. But sunlight is his greatest weakness, his physique wouldn't let him die if the sun gave him a heat stroke. Go down and join the others. I and A'Mo are enough for cleaning up the trash."

Sylvie felt stifled for a moment but understood what Lan She's words meant. He stopped panicking and observed the man who lost consciousness within his embrace. He could see Zane's eyes close with his lips curled up in a smile but hear him snoring near his ears. His heartbeat is also normal and the supposed to be huge and fatal burn on his back was now closed up completely and even felt the skin over it soft and glossy.

Then he recalled what happened to that mermaid king, Qi Yun, just now. Everyone had seen him get his heart dug out by the Archangel but revive after a few moments before waking up completely unwounded. It seems this immortality is a blessing given to this group of players.

Snores~

Lan She spoke once again, "You've calmed down? Stay with the rest below." Only when he saw Sylvie's mood turn normal that he gestured to Chu Mo to begin.

Chu Mo summoned the spear he got from his lover before and used it as a javelin to attack Seraphim Xu. Seraphim Xu when seeing this scene just arrogantly raised an eyebrow. It was as if he is seeing a cold joke that couldn't even make him smile as the contents are all nonsense

He doesn't believe that a mere spear coming over to attack him would be able to his sacred body.

Seraphim Xu snorted and said, "What kind of gesture do you think that is? Do you think it would be able to harm this False G.o.d, me? Hah!?"

Chu Mo gave out a cold smirk as looked at the proud white bird before him.

He said, "Why don't I try? Shall we? Hehe~," said Chu Mo.

Covering the spear with his own qi as a G.o.d, Chu Mo lightly flicked his wrist to throw the spear toward Seraphim Xu. The javelin throw was done with less strength and only speed was added to it. That's how Seraphim Xu and the other DemiG.o.ds and False G.o.ds see the spear attack Chu Mo had done.

The Archangels wanted to show their loyalties to the Seraphim and stood before him intending to block just a weak attack for a mortal. They all stood at the trajectory where the spear would fly towards.

The Archangels spoke,

"The Seraphim don't need to move for such a lame attack!"

"I am alone enough!"

"Seraphim, let us block it for you. Such a weak attack is just a waste of your time."

Seraphim Xu had quietly agreed to the words of his subordinates. These are the Archangels that he had created himself. These are his toys. It is only right for them to show their loyalty in such a way.

"Hmph! You can do as you wish," said Seraphim Xu as he chose to turn a blind eye to such a weak attack.

The Archangels that served him were all delighted by the decision of their lord. They could show their loyalty towards their strongest leader and protect him with undying will and happiness. This is what they are meant to do with their lives. At least these are the feelings and memories that were inputted in their heads by this Seraphim himself.

But what happened next was something Seraphim Xu had regretted in his whole life.
