Chapter 281: Ashes Of Redemption

With one kick, the enemy flew towards the wall and stabbed into the steel rod in the pillar.

Seeing the large number of enemies, Ryan felt a bad feeling. He started to think that he might be cornered and his life threatened. Indeed, his opponents were not just anyone, but where was Golge? There was no way she'd just prepared a smelly trap like this to kill him.

At this time, Ryan heard the ticking sound of the clock from all directions, it gave goosebumps on his neck. He knew the sound of the burning rope very well.

It turned out that every single person who charged towards him all had time bombs on their bodies. They had prepared themselves to die, and they wanted to take Ryan with them to hell!

Without hesitation, Ryan immediately killed them while opening an escape route. However, this sea of ​​people seemed endless.

BANG!

The person he just kicked suddenly exploded and he shattered into a lump of flesh. The resulting explosion was enough to make the metal scattered. The iron shot towards Ryan and Golge's subordinates.

Some iron shot out quickly and headed right at Ryan. However, he moved to the side to avoid this sudden attack. He couldn't block it because it went too fast.

Unlike Ryan, some of his opponents couldn't escape and had to die before they could blow up themselves. At the same time, Ryan continued to dodge his enemy's suicide attack. 

BANG !! BANG !!!

Some people started to blow themselves up before they got closer to Ryan. These few explosions fortunately didn't knock down the supporting pillars of this building, so as long as Ryan dodged and kept them away from them, he would be safe.

After no one else was standing apart from him, Ryan had successfully completed stage 1 of this game.

Ryan then walked towards the second floor where the floor was already hollow. The atmosphere returned to being silent. The remains of the suicide bomb were scattered on the floor, what a terrifying sight. 

Ryan ignored them then walked back upstairs.

This building had 20 floors, pretty high for non-skyscrapers. When Ryan walked up the stairs, his cellphone suddenly sounded.

"You do deserve the name Nergal," Golge's cold voice could be heard clearly. "But don't think our game will just end here, this game is far from over,"

Ryan didn't reply at all, he quickly hung up on her. He was already determined to hunt down Golge wherever she was, there was no need for him to listen to her irritating voice.

On the top floor, Golge stared at the cellphone as her call was cut off. The look in her eyes contained profound hatred.

"It seems like my lord is still angry..." Golge laughed and turned to face Irina as the woman was tied to a chair.

At this time, Irina was tied from the waist, legs, chest and hands. The chair she was tied to was an electric chair that's usually used for a death penalty, so it was impossible for her to free herself.

After she awakened for a long time, Irina stared at the laughing shadow in front of her. That woman's face was truly terrifying as it was covered with wounds. 

The person who kidnapped her was completely insane, she planted bombs on her subordinates and was not afraid that they would destroy the foundation of this building. And she did all that just to kill Ryan!

"I wonder, why is he willing to waste his life to save you? Is that what is called love?" Golge smiled mockingly. When she saw Irina's face, her heart became happy. The more her opponent suffered, the happier her heart would be.

Irina tried to escape but she realized she couldn't move at all.

"It's useless even if you try to escape," In her hand, a knife suddenly appeared. "Look at me."

Irina then raised her head and saw Golge's evil smile. "As soon as Nergal reaches this floor, I will slit your throat with this knife and you will die right in front of him!"

Irina's heart clenched, she did not know what was really going on. All she knew was that she was used as bait to get Ryan to come to this building.

"Shouldn't you have killed Nergal first?" Irina asked.

Golge glared at Irina then she turned around and looked at the sky. The cold night breeze hit her face and the cloth around her neck. But suddenly, the cloth flew away and revealed her flesh-less neck!

On that day, while drowning in the sea, Golge had to free herself from the grip of death with great difficulty. She had no other way to escape Ryan's grasp on the ship and chose the most risky option by pretending to be bitten by a shark. However, none of that was acting and Golge had to pay a heavy price. She was really bitten by several sharks and lost some of her flesh, and her internal organs were badly injured.

Fortunately, when her life was about to drift away, she managed to arrive at Crimea and drink the blood of a ginseng doll. It slowly made her heal. 

"No, I wanted to drive him crazy first. I wanted to see he could only hug the corpse of the woman he loved in his arms. I want to see him suffer!" Golge's tone slowly became high and filled with hatred.

Irina knew that Ryan had arrived at this building. She had to buy time so that Ryan could come to this place. "Doesn't killing me only make him more angry? Killing me costs you an ace,"

Golge turned and looked at Irina with a smile. "You're really smart, but do you think I only have one ace? You really are naive,"

Of course, Golge had many cards in her hands. Her investigation of Ryan in recent days made her understand how the man's life was in this Avalerion city. Of course, women like Valerie, Megan and Mia were just as precious as Irina.

After he killed Irina, she would mark Valerie as her next target. She would finish them one by one and let Ryan feel the pain of losing the women he loved!

Thinking of how angry, miserable, and helpless Ryan would be, Golge couldn't stop laughing. Her laugh echoed throughout the room, utterly loud.

Irina had no idea what cards Golge had, she just thought that Golge might be targeting Ryan's family.

After some silence, Irina asked, "Is that Nergal… The man named Ryan that I know?"

Golge's face became serious, she felt that this incident would be interesting. "Do you really want to know?"

Irina nodded. From the start, she understood that Ryan was not an ordinary person, especially since she had treated his fully scarred body once. Even though she didn't ask him about his past, Irina still felt curious. At least, she wanted to know who Ryan's real identity was.

Even though Ryan was just selling chicken noodles the first time they met, Irina knew that it was all just fake. But still, she had absolutely no idea who really Ryan was.

After thinking about it carefully, she thought back to the time when Ryan saved her from the Krugers. Now that she remembered it, that incident left a lot of question marks behind. No ordinary person had the ability to oppose that aristocratic family.

"Well if that's what you want, I'll tell you who Nergal the God of War is," Golge started walking towards Irina and stopped right in front of her. 

"This legend originated with Nergal who built his empire in the underworld in Japan, where he became the king of the underworld. They said that if Nergal went on a rampage, a thousand corpses would not be able to satisfy his bloodlust. That's the real Nergal, the God of War."

Irina was surprised when she heard that, she instantly fell silent.

"As far as I know, Nergal traveled the world as a merchant and is looking for opponents to hone his skills. But after going on an adventure, he realized something. Making money is not what he likes, and he prefers to see the blood splattered on his face when he kills his opponent. After that, he continued on his way, leaving hundreds of thousands corpses in his tracks. He then built his empire in Japan and gathered his army there,"

"He got the name Nergal the God of War after killing a thousand people overnight!"

"He once destroyed a military base for the American army with only swords and arrows." 

"You can't count exactly how much lives are lost to his swords."

Golge walked behind Irina and hugged her from behind. "Did you not know that you sleep next to the God of Death every day? Have you never smelled the blood sticking to his body? Or have you never heard the victim's tragic scream while sleeping beside him?"
