Chapter 1312 Nothing



At that moment, Mia and Bella rushed into the room panting. One held a new stack of warm towels while the other lugged around a bucket of water.

They had all decided that the birth should be done in a basin of water, but Kaeda insisted that water be swapped out every few minutes. This was because they were relying on spiritual plants from the Demon Sages Mystical World to improve its healing abilities.

The basin wasn't normal either. Ri had passed on the visor made of a portion of the Holy Arc, making this likely the most expensive tub in the martial world. After a few days forging, Clara was able to fuse the visor's properties in with various grandmaster minerals capable of holding life essence. Still, despite all this, the process was still very painful.

Kaeda quickly used her comprehension of water will to empty the basin of its bloodied liquids before using the water Mia brought over to refill it. They all sighed a collective breath of relief as Delia's screams died down to whimpers once more.

Bella handed the warm towels to Kaeda before ducking out with her twin sister. They had no place there, it was just that they wanted to make themselves feel useful.

Unfortunately, Dyon had been so wrapped up in Amphorae's reappearance that he not only forgot about Baldric and Hela, but he also forgot about his promise to show Mia and Bella the world. They could feel their condition getting worse by the day and it was already difficult to just stand, but they didn't breathe a word of complaint. They had lived a good life for the last few years, there was no need to dampen the cheery atmosphere with their problems.

The two sisters smiled knowing smiles at one another when they saw the sweat-matted Eli leaning against the wall of the hallway. They could tell that every time he heard Delia's scream, it was as though he was in pain himself.

"It'll be okay, big brother Eli. Big Sister Delia is very strong." Mia smiled lightly, patting Eli's shoulder.

Eli snapped out of his own world, looking at the two sisters with pity. "I swear I'll find a medicine to cure you two!"

He didn't know why, but he felt very protective of these two girls, he almost took them as his own adoptive daughters.

In truth, their plight was similar to his own. What Eli wanted to do the most in this world was cultivate so that he could protect his wife, child and friends, yet he was cursed to never do so.

As for these two young girls, weren't they similar? Some unknown force had cursed them and now they likely had less than five years to live. In fact, Eli felt like he was selfish in comparing himself to them. At least he would be able to live by the side of those he loved, but these two would never be allowed such a life. He could tell by how they tried to keep distant from everyone that they too understood this. It wasn't that they were jealous of them… But their hearts were so pure that they didn't want others to mourn their deaths…

The eyes of the two sisters watered at these words, they wanted to speak but they found it difficult. Eli had never promised them this before because he truly didn't believe he could find a solution. But, now that he had, the two sisters believed that he would try his absolute beast. In the martial world, who could possibly be a better choice than a young man who seemed capable of creating any spiritual plant?

"Big brother we…" Bella started. But, before she could finish, Soul Planet shook as the wail of a newly born baby boy shook its very foundations.

Eli stood up abruptly, his eyes shining bright as he stretched to his over seven-foot-tall height. His child, he was born! He rushed forward, grabbing the delicate hands of Bella and Mia and he hurried down the hallway. But, never in his life did he expect that he would not get to see his child.

In that moment, two nonchalant young men suddenly appeared from nowhere. It didn't seem like their speed was so fast that their eyes couldn't keep up, nor did it seem that they walked through space. In fact, Mia and Bella couldn't sense an ounce of cultivation or pressure from these two young men.

"See?" The black robed young man spoke. "Didn't I tell you that all we had to do was wait? Eventually, our newly born brother would have a child whose auspicious signs at birth would point us directly here."

"Don't talk me down with your lazy nonsense. If it wasn't for you, we could have gotten him ten, even twenty or thirty years ago. If you don't shut up, I'll make sure to report everything from the last forty years to the Unblemished One." A red robed young man answered back, slapping the young man who spoke first in the back of then head.

The black robed young man silenced himself immediately, looking toward Eli with an amiable smile instead.

"Brother, you've suffered here. We've come to take you away." The red robed young man smiled, ignoring Mia and Bella.

"Who are you two?!" The twin sisters took defensive position, protecting Eli to their back. Looking at each other in tacit understanding, they immediately sent two palms forward.

Who would have known that the two young men wouldn't even bother to react?

Instead, both their heads burst into a shower of blood, the rain of brain matter, flesh and crimson splattering along the walls, ceilings and floors.

However, before the two sisters could feel horror at their first kills, the blood surged back upward, reforming their heads as though nothing had happened. Everything went back to normal as though they had never attacked in the first place...

In fact, the two continued to ignore the two sisters.
