Chapter 438 Make a choice

438 Make a choice

"Sorry..." Arine shook her head and said: "I'm just telling the truth. In fact, what Lathel said is very reasonable; each of us is imperfect."

"That is also the reason we always aim for beauty, towards perfection."

"If we were already perfect, like you say, then this world wouldn't have any development because everyone would be satisfied with what they have."

Ikarys: "..."

He felt imaginary tears flow from his eyes. He was really just angry and said a little to let his anger dissipate a bit, and in the end, Arine taught him a lesson.

Eye of Puzzle also said at this time: "Yes, Lathel's answer is not correct, but..."

"Incorrect?!" Hearing that, Ikarys was immediately happy: "So you will use lightning to punish him?"

"Are you stupid?" Eye of Puzzle scolded: "But I am satisfied with his answer, that's why... he wins."

Ikarys: "..."

Two lines of tears flowed down his face, making him look extremely pitiful.

The Eye of Puzzle saw this and said softly: "Okay, you look as pitiful as a dog that someone else threw into a landfill; I don't have the heart to punish you."

Ikarys: "..."

'Oy! Are you pitying me or scolding me? I have a feeling that you're scolding me...' Ikarys screamed inside, however, he didn't dare say it out loud.

Anyway, the Eye of Puzzle didn't punish him with lightning, which was what made him feel extremely lucky. He was afraid that if he continued talking, he would be afraid...

The Eye of Puzzle looked towards Lathel, smiled, and said: "Hahahaha...your answer makes me very satisfied; this is a reward for you."

From within the Eye of Puzzle's giant eye, a small glass ball the size of a tennis ball appeared and flew towards Lathel.

"Take it; it will make the energy inside your body a little stronger. Although it's not much, at least your energy will become pure, purifying many impurities."

Hearing that, Lathel quickly took the ball into his hand. Right now, he could feel that his body was extremely comfortable. The energy pool inside his body seemed to be purified, becoming stronger and cleaner.

Ikarys was so angry when he saw this scene that he wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood. He worked hard to get here, but in the end, everything did not belong to him but belonged to that trash.

He was angry, jealous, and desperate. He had only one goal in his heart... to kill Lathel.

Even though Lathel did not want to kill him or make enemies with him, he did not accept someone like Lathel continuing to live.

Besides, Lathel also caused him to act out of anger, making him put on a shameful front in front of the Holy Maiden.

Ikarys clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent, as he looked at Lathel.

Lathel did not care about Ikarys at this time; he was feeling the power flowing through his body.

"Good!" Eye of Puzzle spoke up: "Last question..."

"Wait!" Ikarys spoke up, at this moment, his face was extremely serious: "Eye of Puzzle, I don't understand why you favour Lathel."

"I feel that you are too unfair. You guard here mainly to find a suitable person with enough ability to strengthen the Demon Lord's seal."

"In the end, why is the person you chose that trash? Do you know who I am? I am..."

The Eye of Puzzle looked at Ikarys again and said softly: "You too; I can see through your thoughts."

"You don't want to save this girl either, right? She is just a pawn you want to get."

"Incorrect!" Ikarys shouted.

The Eye of Puzzle sighed: "You don't need to refute; before my eyes, all your thoughts cannot be hidden."

"I can see your thoughts, see the future and the past; do you think you can fool me?"

"No! Ikarys, you are the Holy Son of the Lumiere Church, you only desire the beauty of the Holy Maiden."

"You want her for her beauty, and you want to use her to manipulate the church. To you, she is nothing more than an object, after you get bored... you will throw her away."

Ikarys gritted his teeth because what Eye of Puzzle said was so right, he couldn't refute it. Besides... Arine always favours that trash Lathel, making him uncomfortable.

"Even if she is still alive, she may not be grateful to you. On the contrary... after hearing what I just said, I'm afraid she will be even more wary of you." Eye of Puzzle said.

"Ah! That is, if you are still alive; however, if you die, then everything is over."

"She will continue to live a life filled with sunshine and cool breezes, and you will be submerged in lava because of her."

Ikarys gritted his teeth, his hands clenched so tightly that they turned white: 'The Eye of Puzzle is right. Even if I save her, I'm not sure she will be grateful to me.'

'On the contrary... she didn't look at me from beginning to end but only favoured that trash Lathel.'

'I have a system; I'm the main man in this world; I can't die because of a woman. I have a bright future; I need to live...'

"What about you, Lathel!" The Eye of Puzzle looked at Lathel.

Lathel shrugged, refusing to answer.

"If it's too difficult to answer..." Eye of Puzzle suddenly continued: "Then I'll give you another method. I will count to three; I will let these two girls fall into the lava."

"If you stand still, then you have access to the Demon Lord's seal. If you rush in and save either of these girls, you will die in their place."

Lathel frowned, looking towards Dorothy.

Dorothy looked into his eyes, smiled, and shook her head, signalling him not to worry.

Arine looked worriedly at Lathel, smiled, and said: "There is no need to save me; I have a way to escape from this place."

"One!" The eye of Puzzle spoke up.

Lathel knew they were just reassuring him; of course, he also didn't want to die because of the two girls he just knew today.

"Two!"

Ikarys had made a decision. He looked towards Arine and Dorothy with cold and determined eyes.

"Father!"

Arine and Dorothy were immediately thrown into the lava. Ikarys still stood still, his eyes carrying a strange feeling of satisfaction.

"Damn it!" Lathel suddenly shouted, then rushed towards the crack.
