Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 294 The final gift
"Die, Rosalind!" The hero's roar echoed throughout the entire Dreamland.

And so, Rean saw the stars.

The hall of heroes was destroyed the moment that man drew his sword.

The moment that sword appeared in the world.
"Oh my god, it's blown up."

Rean, who was observing from the sidelines, was a little confused.

The moment Lex gripped the sword, he even saw a star explode.

At this moment, Rean realized that his outrageous performance in Radiant City was merely the limit of his own machine, not the limit of the "Continental Warrior".

The "spatial explosion" he unleashed with his sword was as if dimensions were being shattered.

Each strike reminded Rean of mythology and the universe, but he never saw his opponent.

There's no way around it, the lighting effects are too terrifying; the entire world seems to consist only of stars constantly exploding.

Rean guessed that he wasn't the one who was "excluded," but rather that he would have been gone in an instant, or at least completely blinded.

The battlefield became unpredictable in an instant. If this was truly the level of top-tier combat power, it was truly terrifying.

Rean couldn't see Rosalind, but the woman's cries, groans, and screams never stopped.

The only response she received was the man's silent slashing.

She seemed to be in a lot of pain, yet she remained there.
"A curse. I curse you."

"Faithless man"

I love you, I really love you.

"It hurts. It feels good. It hurts."

Is this something Rean can hear?
Rean glanced back and saw Hela, who was also "excluded," with a cold expression.

Meanwhile, Dania kept rubbing her eyes, clearly her eyes had been damaged by the flash.

The light pollution didn't last long, as the woman's screams and curses grew quieter.

"It's too late for me to love you, you idiot."

Finally, as the sound echoed back and forth, Rosalind disappeared.

The light pollution disappeared, and when everything calmed down, only that man remained standing in the void.

He appeared and disappeared in a flash, giving the impression that he was about to vanish.

But is it really meaningful to seriously injure or even kill Rosalind here? Rean was a little confused.

“It’s meaningful; she must take good care of her injury for at least six months.”

Lex's calm words conveyed a sense of helplessness and sorrow, yet also a painful realization—a determination to kill his "wife" should the chance come.

This time, he didn't hold back; he truly intended to keep Rosalind here for good.

"You can get hurt in a dream?" Rean was shocked; he had already died here several times.

"Heh, it can not only injure, but also kill. What do you think the 'Lord of Dreams' of the Owl represents?" This authority of the Owl is naturally not harmless. In ancient times, many powerful people thought they were really dead in their dreams and never woke up again.

Seeing that Rean seemed a little skeptical, Lex casually picked out an example he was familiar with.

"There are actually quite a few beings like that in this world. Aren't those succubi who can transform in dreams and drain you dry? Believe me, succubi are good, but they're very harmful to your health. Don't overindulge. Uh, sorry." Lex was being cheeky, but his two daughters glared at him, leaving him with a helpless wry smile. He apologized and shut his mouth.

Lex quickly composed himself, but half of his body had already vanished into the morning light.

Clearly, his further interference in the mortal realm hastened his departure.

"She shouldn't be able to cause you any trouble for the next six months. That's probably the only thing I can do right now. Babies, don't look at me like that, don't be sad for me, I'm long dead." Lex's face was serious at first, but then he laughed happily.

At least in the end, he hoped that he would leave with a smile in his daughters' memories.

"Although your expressions make me a little happy, I am now just a virtual personality of a reincarnated soul, and I am long gone."

Seeing that the two girls didn't seem to understand, he added a sentence.

"That guy is the real one. The me now is like an avatar he created, incorporating his past memories."

Okay, that's a simple explanation: it just caused Rean a lot of trouble.

"Hela, come here," he called his eldest daughter to his side and whispered something to her. Hela's expression became increasingly complicated.

After Hela, it was Dania's turn. Her father repeatedly instructed his daughters, but he didn't want "outsiders" to know.

He seemed to have countless things to say.

At this point, he was clearly at his limit.

"Three things, you help me once, I'll help you once."

Lex felt a pang of regret. He had genuinely intended to end Rosalind's life at this point, but he ultimately failed. So, his failure turned two things into three. He had helped severely injure Rosalind, buying the children at least six months, which could be considered one of his accomplishments.

Rean can't do anything about Rosalind now, but that might not be the case in six months.

The rogue hero smiled merrily.

No matter how much resentment and trouble I have, it's all meaningless now.

As he himself said, he was already dead and reincarnated. It was a great blessing to be able to see his daughters grow up after his death.

What happens next and what the future holds, let the living and their descendants take their place. Let the dead quietly step aside.

"By the way, watch out for the 'doors,' they're not trustworthy at all."

Finally, before completely disappearing, he took the opportunity to leak some important information.

In the end, the legendary hero's spirit transformed into countless "flowers," scattering across this void.

And Rean received the hint he had been waiting for.

The inheritance of the Heroic Spirit has been completed. Currently, the synchronization rate of the Heroic Spirit Lex Thorne is 87.6%, and the satisfaction rate is 89.9%.

This number is ridiculously high, several times that of Sull. Obviously, this is because Lex doesn't act like a hero at all; he's cheating out of personal favoritism.

He also understood that as long as he showed kindness to Rean, Rean would naturally treat his daughter well.

Protect them—Lex Thorne.

These final words left Rean speechless.

Due to the strong demands of the heroic spirits, the selection of the 'successor' will be postponed by Rean.

"I don't think it's a good thing for the dead to interfere in the mortal realm, and I don't care who inherits my power. I only care whether they will be harmed as a result—Lex Thorne."

[The virtual personality of the hero has dissipated, the data has been returned, and the hero possession has ended.]

[The hero Lex expressed his satisfaction with your efforts in caring for your daughter and awarded you the highest possible reward.]

[Settlement begins.]

【Heart and Soul. Single-Minded Devotion (Gold/Diamond): My heart is one, my will endures forever, I am the strongest!】

First and foremost, of course, is this most important mental and spiritual ability.

[Diamond-tier special enhancement, the Warrior's Sixth Sense: You possess a powerful innate intuition, allowing you to instinctively perceive the truthfulness of your opponents' words and the goodwill or malice others harbor towards you.]

Lex kept his promise and gave Rean what he was supposed to receive ahead of schedule.

However, as Rean looked at the characteristics of this diamond-tier soul ability, he felt increasingly uneasy.

"That guy. That coward."

Rean sighed, but ultimately held back his words.

Is it really true that Lex, who has this ability, is completely unaware of Rosalind's problem? Perhaps he simply doesn't want to know.

Perhaps he simply believed that being sincere with that woman would make her change her mind.

Perhaps he thought that as long as he was patient, his opponent wouldn't kill him outright.

"You were such a coward, you deserved to die such a miserable death."

Undoubtedly, Lex provided Rean with a perfect negative example, and perhaps he regretted it countless times.

If he had been braver and more proactive back then, and had known those secrets beforehand, he could have fought his way out with his sword and left the kingdom with the woman; perhaps everything would have been different.

But in the end, he did nothing and let fate take him to the brink of despair.

No matter how strong a person is, if they lack awareness, they are nothing more than puppets that drift with the tide.

Until the moment of his death, he was nothing more than a toy of fate. As a thousand-faced dragon with a talent to defy fate, he was truly shameful.

Rean silently touched the Hero's Sword, secretly making up his mind.

"We absolutely cannot become the next Lex Lucas."

Even though the "Heroic Spirit Lex" finally drew his sword and struck his beloved, it was already too late.
“It seems even Rosalind thinks it’s too late. Sigh, what’s going on? This family’s affairs are just too messy.” Rean’s expression was strange as he thought of another “mother.”

If Rosalind can come in, why can't the other mother? Perhaps Lex's decision was to "avoid meeting her."

"It's too messy."

Fortunately, at least for now, this matter has come to an end, and we shouldn't have to worry about it for the time being.

[Obtained Heroic Spirit Card x1. Due to the powerful interference of Heroic Spirit Rex, this Heroic Spirit Card type has been locked.]

And he did indeed keep his promise to Rean.
