The Last Primal

846 Chapter 846 - Determination and sacrifice

"Nobody thought that Holy Fire Island would have produced a paragon as such. Yet, it's a pity that he has to die beneath the Ancient One's Palace."

"He died a worthwhile death trading the lives of seven other paragons and a couple of Guardian Elders."

The martial artists watching that blood-stained and swaying figure from afar had complicated expressions as they discussed in hushed whispers with looks of pity.

That lone figure looked pitiable and tragic.

The martial artists knew that Holy Fire Island's successor was about to die and no one could save him!

Aiden was indeed in a disastrous situation.

His left chest was punctured with blood gushing out, his collarbone was smashed and broken while his abdomen had a frightening wound that was so bad his intestines would have spilled out if he wasn't clutching it with his hands.

Aiden could feel his vitality draining from him!

Fresh blood was still flowing.

His injuries were not showing any signs of healing or recovery.

This meant that his injuries had already exceeded the limits of his regeneration capabilities!

The two remaining elders, who both looked like monks had yet to make their moves.

Even if they were to stand by the sidelines and watch idly, before long, he would still run out of blood and die all the same.

Aiden's head was giddy and his vision blurred as if a familiar curvaceous figure flashed before him.

"Ma.. -a-ster…" Instinctively, he called out softly.

There was no response. The figure in front turned slightly and raised her brows, glancing at him with endless worry and pity.

A faint fragrance wafted over and Aiden was momentarily invigorated as he struggled to open his eyes and look over.

After a moment of daze, he opened his mouth but failed to say anything. His head slumped down with evident disappointment.

It was not the master he inwardly longed to see. The mother figure that  brought him up together with his little sister and Granny.

It was Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva.

He had lost too much blood and his vision was blurry. Coupled with the fact that he had been yearning about her at this moment, Aiden mistook Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva's pink-colored dress as a blood-red color.

She… has already left long ago and won't be coming back.

I still couldn't catch up to her in the end. There's no more chance left.

"Hah…"

Aiden sighed deeply and his body swayed. His eyelids were heavy and gradually, his consciousness was gone as he fell into the endless abyss.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears, jolting Aiden's mind and pulling him back from the abyss of death!

"Seniors, please let him off."

It was Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva's voice and she was right in front of him.

"Holy Maiden, get lost!"

One of the elderly monk-like Guardian Elder walked over slowly and hollered with a terrifying aura.

"Even if you guys don't attack, he won't be able to survive. What's so bad about leaving him with a complete corpse?"

Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva did not leave and her voice sounded once more. "You righteous sects advocate kindness, so why are you so bent on killing him?"

"Young miss, this is not about good or bad. The only way to ensure that nothing goes wrong is to kill him personally."

The elderly monk Guardian Elder was unmoved and he said with a shimmering gaze. "Holy Maiden, if you don't get lost, I'll kill you together with him!"

A moment later, Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva's voice sounded once more. Although it was calm and firm, it was shocking!

"Forgive my inability to comply."

Those words revealed a determination.

It was an unwavering conviction to not back off despite knowing that it would result in death!

Aiden's expression changed.

She was facing a Guardian Elder.

This was a Guardian Elder, a Martial Grandmaster who was completely enraged and could kill her with a single move!

Aiden did not expect that given the circumstances, Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva would stand forth and defend him with reckless abandon unyieldingly.

"What a foolish woman…"

His lips shifted and his voice was as soft and inaudible as a mosquito.

"Very well then…"

The elderly monk Guardian Elder nodded expressionlessly as killing intent surged in his eyes. "Since you wish to die, I'll fulfill your wishes!"

*BOOM!*

He channeled his inner Martial Grandmaster realm strength and burst forth with his full power. It was an instant attack with a massive rise in aura!

"Formless Finger!"

Reaching out with his finger, he tapped in Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva's direction.

Instantly, heaven and earth shook!

How was that a finger?

It was clearly a heavenly-piercing pillar that streaked through the void with unbridled might, charging over as though it wanted to crush Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva into smithereens!

Aiden clenched his teeth and wanted to block the move for Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva.

However, he was too severely injured and he had no strength left to budge.

Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva blinked her eyes and a ripple appeared in her beautiful eyes, sending forth a bewitching beam that entered the eyes of Formless Monastery's Guardian Elder.

Removing her veil, Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva revealed a flawless face and smiled charmingly.

It was a charm that could topple the world!

Even the martial artists who were watching from afar were stunned and drooled with agape mouths, let alone the old monk Guardian Elder who was right before her.

She did not merely use the [Bewitching Eye].

That was the limit of the Pure Maiden Sect Holy Maiden's powers!

"Hmm?"

Although the elderly monk Guardian Elder was a Martial Grandmaster, he had not trained the secret skills of his sect and was unable to counter the Pure Maiden Sect's ultimate technique perfectly. His heart wavered for a moment and the power of Formless Finger weakened.

"Go!"

At the same time, Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva sent forth a ribbon that shone with a bright spirit light, colliding against the incoming Formless Finger.

*BANG!*

There was a deafening sound.

Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva's expression changed starkly as her petite figure shuddered, stumbling in retreat repeatedly.

With every single step back, she would spit out a mouthful of blood that was extremely striking!

Not everyone could endure the full-powered attack of Guardian Elders like Aiden.

If not for the fact that the elderly monk Guardian Elder was distracted and the power of Formless Finger was diminished, Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva would have been torn apart and died!

Even so, by the time she staggered backwards to Aiden's side, she was already severely injured and on the brink of death.

A series of sinister tears appeared behind the elderly monk Guardian Elder.

"Humph!"

With a grim expression, he sneered. "I'll give you guys a large gift before my death so that you two lovebirds can go down to the Abyss together!"

Before his sentence was finished, a stream of fire burst forth from the elderly monk Guardian Elder's finger and arrived before the two of them.

His flames were fiery red and there was even a shade of gold mixed within, letting off a terrifying aura.

It was True Draconic Fire!

True Draconic Fires were extremely rare and not something one could just simply learn and train in. It required a certain talent, and an aptitude to even have the slightest chance of it!

Only true Martial Grandmasters, who possessed a certain inborn talent could have the slightest chance of learning True Draconic Fire that could incinerate all Martial Knight realm martial artists and even burn pure-blooded ferocious beasts at Martial Knight realm to ashes in a mere instant!

Aiden's eyes twitched furiously.

He was a Weapon Refinement Master as well and had mastery over flames; naturally, he knew how powerful true fires were.

Unlike these fake little reptilians and lesser creatures, he had a true draconic bloodline circling in his body. Whilst he could not breathe fire like he would wanted to, he believed it was just a matter of time.

Previously, none of the Guardian Elders produced true fires because they were not martial artists with fire spirit roots.

Heaving a deep breath of air, Aiden used all his might to push away Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva who was in front of him while bellowing deeply. "Get away!"

*SWOOSH!*

The flames landed on Aiden and surged, burning his entire body!

In the blink of an eye, he was a man engulfed in flames.

"Arr… arr… arr!"

Aiden hunched over with his eyes tightly shut. He was in immeasurable pain as his throat let out a hoarse cry.

The true fire burned furiously and his body convulsed. Even his flesh sizzled with crackling sounds as his flesh was burnt black in a terrifying sight.

In the fire, Aiden's face was faintly visible and he was in such deep pain that his features were contorted to an unrecognizable degree.

Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva's heart ached when she saw the state he was in and her eyes misted.
