BXBX NOVEL Chapter 306.1 - From Now Onwards, You Are Him
And this menacingly powerful force lunging straight towards her, was seeking to take her life, without the slightest hesitation.
Probably, right from the very beginning, her father had groomed her and shown her so much favour only because she was the most outstanding one among all his daughters, and would become the most useful one to him.
Blood ties and kinship.....
Sigh..... What is that?
That meant the absolute least to the gods race. Before self interest, anything and everything can be sacrificed.
And she had still been anticipating.....
She did not dodge, neither did she want to dodge. Just let it all end.
The corners of her lips curved up into a faint smile, and she closed her eyes as if she was waiting for the sweet release of death.
In that instant, two voices suddenly sounded in her ears. One filled with panic and terror, carrying pain and disbelief in its tone, while the other voice was still as cold and heartless as before. But for some unknown reason, she could somehow detect a faint sliver of concern in the second voice.
A lethal and powerful finishing strike from the highest and most supreme entity in the gods race. Even if one was fortunate enough to survive, they would not be able to live for very much longer. Moreover, it was a strike that had come like a bolt out of the blue, which caught everyone completely off guard.
The expected pain and agony did not come, but the tumultuous noises she had heard in her ears suddenly fell deathly silent, and the air grew so heavy and oppressive it was getting rather hard to breathe.
What has..... Happened?
She slowly opened her eyes, and she saw that there seemed to be a shadowy figure filling her sight, and it was impossible for her to see clearly for an instant.
She struggled to force her eyes wide open in order to see, and discovered the very person who had always remained by her side all this time, despite the fact that he knew that she was merely making use of him, shielding her as he stood right in front of her, his thin and lean figure seeming exceptionally tall and towering right at that moment.
That handsome countenance of his was smiling at her like always, but there was some sort of a warm liquid, droplets that dripped onto her face. One of the droplets fell right at the corner of her eye, and she lifted a hand to wipe it away, coming to discover that her fingers were stained bright red.
The look on her face was blank as she lifted her head up in a daze, as she saw a large gaping hole in the man’s chest, precise and exact, right where his heart had been.
Her lips quivered in utter helplessness, and something seemed to well up from inside her eyes, blurring her vision.
He’s merely just an ordinary human, but he had used his own body of flesh and blood to shield her, even though it would not have any effect.
