Chapter 338 Always

Seeing the light in the dragon's eyes fade away, the grin on Oswald's face widened.

Finally! When I transfuse this beast's blood, I'll be able to advance to the Mana Vortex Rank! Then there's also the dragon heart...

Thinking of all those things he could accomplish, the man's breathing grew ragged. Suddenly, Hemingway called out to him from behind.

"What's gotten you so excited?"

Oswald returned to his stoic demeanor as he turned around to glance at his long-time friend.

"Nothing," he replied.

"Don't forget," Hemingway said with an amiable smile. "Half of that belongs to me."

Oswald deeply stared at this man for a few moments, before nodding. "Of course."

The next moment, he cast his gaze over at Edward and Lisa, who were shocked by this sudden turn of events, and sneered. "Don't be so surprised. You'll be following the dragon soon."

"Let me take care of those insects." Hemingway slowly walked toward the couple, his eyes flashing with immense killing intent.

Edward suddenly snapped out of his daze, his body trembling in fear. He tried to move, but found that he couldn't. He had already expended all his mana reserves and his stamina in the earlier battle.

He was but a fish on a chopping board.

Realizing, that his death was a foregone conclusion, tears started to endlessly stream down his eyes. He turned his head toward Lisa and muttered with great unwillingness, "Lisa, I... I don't think—"

But Lisa interrupted him with a forced smile, "You don't have to say a thing. I already know."

The moment she saw Valerian die at the hands of Oswald, she knew that her fate was already sealed.

Moreover, it seemed to her that Adam had also been rendered completely incapacitated after whatever it was that he tried to pull just now.

She weakly reached out with her trembling hand. "Eddie, in my bleak life... you were the best thing that ever happened to me."

"No... no... no..." Edward sobbed and reached out to grab Lisa's hand. "Don't say such things. There's still hope... We can still..."

He paused for a moment before patting Morden's shoulder and assuring him, "Trust me, brother. Now go. Exact your revenge on the person that killed your son."

Oswald suddenly recalled something and turned his head in a certain direction. There, a shadowy figure was hiding and secretly watching everything unfold.

I should hold my end of the deal, he thought. The orc has been quite useful tonight.

The next moment, he loudly called out, "Gorgo, I know you're alive!"

Gorgo, who was hiding behind a dilapidated building, suddenly flinched in horror. But the words that Oswald said next, caused him to be elated.

"I'm giving you this opportunity. Kill the boy and avenge your tribesmen."

The orc's body trembled in excitement as he glanced at Adam with a bloodthirsty look. The next moment, he brandished his twin daggers and bolted toward the immobilized youth.

Morden attacked from the front, and Gorgo from behind.

Both of them had been wanting to kill Adam for what he did to their dear ones. Today, they would finally be able to exact their revenge.

Even though the two were only moments away from killing him, Adam remained motionless.

Seeing this, the two of them grew even more confident. They raised their weapons, and the following moment, they ferociously thrust them straight through Adam.

"HAHAHA!" Morden laughed maniacally as he twisted his sword that had pierced the youth's heart.

On the other side, Gorgo had an evil grin on his face as he expended his mana into the youth's body through his daggers, effectively destroying the latter's organs.

Seeing that the two had finally gotten rid of Adam, Oswald's shoulders involuntarily loosened.

He then cast a glance at the dragon's corpse that lay before him and couldn't help but think of the bright future that lay ahead of him.

But the next moment, he frowned.

He squinted his eyes and saw that a small crack had appeared in the space before him. Before he could react further, another crack appeared beside the first one.

Oswald had a bad premonition and he muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible.

"What's happening?"
