Chapter 349: Creating a New Abyss? Or a Purgatory? (Page 2/8)

One by one, horrified expressions appeared on their faces.

As more soldiers from the Royal Court of Ten Thousand Serpents arrived, their numbers swelled. Eventually, they launched their assault on the city.

Although they avoided using Third-Rank power after the initial lightning strike to protect the prosperous city, the city still fell within a day. The remaining forces ultimately surrendered.

The red-haired Byron disembarked from his ship and stepped onto the shore.

He entered the city like a conqueror, his presence declaring the return of the cityʼs former rulers.

The fires at Serc Harbor and on the river had not yet been extinguished, and many buildings within the city continued to smolder, emitting thick smoke.

Various divine techniques, artifacts, and supernatural powers had brought destruction and death.

Fire proved to be the simplest and most effective means of all.

Among the divine techniques of the snake people, the ability to control fire and earth was the most prevalent. Artifacts designed to manipulate fire were especially favored and widely used.

Byron entered the administrative hall as people were being dragged out one by one.

Some defiant individuals, facing death, hurled their final curses at him.

”Byron the Burner!”

”You will face retribution!”

Byron walked past them as if he had not heard.

However, as he climbed the steps to the administrative hall, he stopped and turned to look back.

His eyes lingered on the city, which was being consumed by raging flames and thick black smoke.

The deputy legion commander spoke to him.

”Commander Byron, you should stop looking.”

”We need to rest and then continue our advance.”

”The Dark Moon General wants us to capture as many cities as possible, as quickly as possible. We must put maximum pressure on the traitors in the southern five territories.”

Byron knew the deputy was concerned he might recall the great fire that had once consumed Fort Pence.

”Years ago, they started this war, seized this city, and destroyed my home.”

”If not for the Dark Moon General, they could have taken the Dark Moon Province during the famine, even occupying our sea outlets and the Great Serpent Road.”

”These past years, one comrade after another has drunk my blood, willing to become a monster to win this war.”

Byron raised his arm, showing the deputy the fire patterns that covered it.

”Do you see this?”

”Every mark here represents a living person.”

”Every mark is a deeply etched hatred.”

”Itʼs a hatred that cannot be erased, not in death, not even by becoming a monster.”

Byron lowered his arm.

”Do you still think Iʼm that little carpenter from Fort Pence?”

”Those who died in the war, those who perished in the famine, those who lost their lives in the disaster.”

”Everyone seeks a result. Everyone yearns for an answer.”

”Whatever the cost. Whatever I must do.”

Byron stared at the deputy commander and finally spoke.

”If evil goes unpunished, and if all of this just passes... then where is justice?”

”And if this world has no justice...”

Byron suddenly fell silent.

He did not continue, did not speak the words buried deep in his heart.

The deputy commander looked at Byron, who still wore that deathlike expression, but in his eyes, the deputy saw raging flames burning.

It was a fire that could fill the entire world, threatening to consume everything.

He suddenly said, ”Hatred... will it truly vanish once it finds a result and an answer?”

Deep in his heart, he suddenly found Byron frightening.

He had joined this war to serve his country. He was one of the earliest followers of the Dark Moon General and had inherited the ideals of the Dark Moon.

However, the Byron standing before him was different, driven by revenge as his sole purpose for participating in this war.

He was a man driven by vengeance, a man who had lost everything.

As he had said, he needed a result and an answer.

But what if that result, that answer, was not what he wished for?

The deputy commander joined Byron in looking at the burning harbor and river.

He felt that hatred was like these flames and this war. Once ignited, it would continue to spread endlessly.

Perhaps it would only end when cities lay in ruins, and races and kingdoms were no more.

Byron did not answer the deputy commanderʼs question. He had noticed many people gathered in the street not far from the administrative hall.

”What is that over there?”

A voice from nearby responded, ”Legion Commander, it appears to be a temple!”

Byron suddenly descended the stairs and walked toward the temple.
