The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1108 The Princess And The Lord IV

Emperor Lei Yu looked up at the sky with a bitter gaze, then he felt someone standing beside him.

Emperor "Zian" Lei Yu looked at the familiar boy next to him.

"The end is coming..." Zian said.

"Yes.." he lowered his head and then turn his eyes to Zian " I'm sorry, Zian…for everything" guilt and pain gathered in his eyes and filled them.

"There is nothing to be sorry about" Zian gives a casual reply "We are both victims of an unfortunate situation as we were both sacrificed by our own parents for the greater good of our world. It's sad that all they care about is power yet they never taught us about love or how to love, there were many times I blamed our parents, but… what about him, Zhao Li Xin?"

Emperor Lei Yu fell silent and a faint smile graced his somber face, "You're right, he too was never taught to love but he's somehow doing everything right."

"I wonder why I can't trust Thea like Zhao Li Xin trusts Lory, why can't I prioritize Thea's happiness over mine...why can't I let her go if that's what's best for her, why am I so persistent. I schemed, lied, and manipulated her vulnerability, still in the end… I lost her" Zian lowered his head then his face contorted as he wept bitterly.

Emperor Lei Yu squeezed his shoulder, "We both made a big mistake on the part of our loved ones, but we foolishly realized it only when the damage was done, I was too caught up in my grief I throw away everything, I even left you alone to face your cruel fate by yourself... I'm sorry Zian, I should never leave you alone in eternity when I already promised I will be with you after I fulfill my duty, but..."

A soft smile broke on Zian's face then he looked at Emperor Lei Yu "I told you there was nothing to forgive, after I met Thea I understood why you did what you did, only now I understand your pain and sorrow, and now I also don't want to live any longer, this eternity is killing me, brother."

"I know, Zian, I don't want to be tormented by this feeling of guilt any longer, that's why we help them, right? I'm sure they will release us from this torturing destiny, and when that time comes, I will accompany you wherever you go, even to hell. even though we will continue to be together, this sin we will bear it together." her eyes brimmed with unshakable determination.

Zian looked at his brother warmly, even if Thea wasn't with him at least his older brother would accompany him and if he was given another chance to meet Thea this time he wouldn't push his will against her anymore, instead he would be like Zhao Li Xin, he would just stay by her side without asking more, they would just talk and laugh enjoying their time together.

"Thank you brother but there is still one last thing I need to do," said Zian.

"I know" Emperor Lei Yu nodded knowingly then his grin grew wider "Let's go together after you're done!"

Elsewhere, in the sky three great powers clashed until it looked like a flickering flash of light when viewed from below.

"You think you can get rid of me!" Lazarus roared like a shockwave that was about to destroy them but Lory managed to raise Lucient's shield to protect them later on Zhao Li Xin lunged toward Lazarus while aiming his sword but Lazarus spun around avoiding Zhao Li Xin's attack while releasing his black miasma that turned into hundreds of iron spikes that strikes over him, luckily because of Lory light's Lazarus power decreased quite a lot so Zhao Li Xin could easily break the iron thorns with his sword.

"You think you can get rid of me? NEVER!" Lazarus roared like a powerful shockwave that was about to crush them but Lory managed to raise Lucient's shield to protect them then Zhao Li Xin lunged at Lazarus while aiming his sword at the Demon but Lazarus spun around to avoid Zhao Li Xin's attack while releasing his black miasma that turned into hundreds of iron spikes that rain over him luckily because of Lory's light Lazarus power has diminished quite a lot, therefore, Zhao Li Xin could easily break the iron spikes with one swing of his sword however it was only a trick.

All of a sudden Lazarus's tail blade launched a sneak attack behind Zhao Li Xin.

"Li Xin, behind you!" Lory shouted then quickly lunged towards him.

Startled by Lory's scream, Zhao Li Xin reflexively shifted her body still Lazarus' blade tail managed to cut his upper arm causing blood to spurt from Zhao Li Xin's arm.

Lory turned her staff into a long sword and then strike on Lazarus' tail.

Sparks emerge as the two weapons clashed violently.

"Get away from him!" anger flared across her face.

Lazarus's eyes glint maliciously and he sneered "Stop me if you can"

Zhao Li Xin didn't let his injuries stop him, once again he directed the crimson lightning to the sky soon after the red lightning came like a huge network fork that surrounded them with flickering bright red lights.

One by one the lightning struck Lazarus causing his body to convulse from the excruciating pain and Lazarus let out blaring groans that filled the air.

Lory flew towards Zhao Li Xin to check his wound immediately her brows furrowed as she realizes that the wound on Zhao Li Xin's arm was worse than it looked, Lory was just about to heal Zhao Li Xin's wound but Zhao Li Xin suddenly grabbed her wrist while shaking his head.

"Don't waste your power" said Zhao Li Xin, then he turned his gaze to Lazarus "We don't have much time, and we have exhausted most of our power luckily so was he, therefore....let's give our best strike for one last time"

Lory's lips slightly open, her eyes bulged in surprise then again she realize Zhao Li Xin is right, neither they nor the world can last much longer, the impact of their fight had severely harmed this world, and it was possible that most parts of the Hwang Wu continent had been destroyed and how this will affect the other continents Lory didn't dare to think about it.

There is no other way, they must finish this fight!

"Okay...one more strike" Lory agree.

"Don't be afraid" Zhao Li Xin holds her hand tightly.

Lory shook her head and smiled "With you and Girsha by my side, I have nothing to fear"

[Let's end this together!] Girsha's voice is etched with resolution.

The white wings on Lory's back spread magnificently later on a thunderstorm come amongst the dark grey cloud and the wind-blown rapidly causing the air to rotate horizontally into a whirlwind a moment later the rain start to pour down and the water sucked into the whirlwind, little by little the wind and water merge and turn into a giant whirlpool. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Zhao Li Xin took his sword with both hands and then raised it right in front of his face while closing his eyes, he begin to summon his last power then suddenly from a thin air the fire emerged then turn into a giant fiery creature that Lory once fought before but this time the creature was under Zhao Li Xin's control.

The giant creature raised its hand and red lightning bolt appeared in his grasp with a quick movement the creature threw the lightning bolt at Lazarus.

Lazarus tried to shield himself with a black mana barrier, but the tornado made by Lory and Girsha swept away the barrier into nothingness causing the lightning bolt successfully hit Lazarus' face so hard that the horn on his forehead shattered.

from the broken tip of the horn, black smoke released into the air and then slowly formed a woman's silhouette, but slowly the woman's face became clearer and lory immediately recognized who the woman was.

"Lao Min Na?!" Lory gasped in shock.

Lao Ming Na looked at Lory meaningfully then she pointed a few meters away from Lazarus' head while giving Lory a reassuring nod.

"So that's where it is!" Lory face lit up then she turn grateful and smiled at Lao Min Na.

A faint, transient wistful smile lightened Lao Min Na's brooding face then her lips moved forming the word 'Sorry'

Lory was dumbfounded for a second not because Lao Min Na apologized but because this is the first time Lory saw her genuine smile, though it was too late however, it was fine, and she will forever carve that smile in her memory for the rest of her life.

A warm smile spread across Lory's face, she moved her lips to form a sentence 'I'll set you free'

Lao Min Na's eyes widened for a long moment before she cover her face and cried.

Even though regret always comes late but be believed it will never be in vain.

Lory turns her staff into a sword then flew towards Zhao Li Xin, then she whispered in his ear "Lazarus's heart is right there" Lory pointed where Lao Min Na pointed.

Zhao Li Xin was happily surprised as he looked at Lory who smirked mischievously, saying: "What are we waiting for!?"

Zhao Li Xin grinned wide, his eyes shining dangerously, Zhao Li Xin stretch his hand as he order the fire creature to grab Lazarus' tail and then set the fire in an instant the fire burned from his tail until almost half of his body but still Lazarus refused to give up.

"I will not be defeated! I WILL NOT!" he forced the black miasma to increase which then slowly extinguishes the flames from his body.

[Girsha, I think we should help the giant torch over there.] Lory pointed at the fire creature.

Girsha snorted then throw a mockery, [I know that thing isn't as strong as it looks!]

Lory laughed at the old bird who still held an old grudge, it seems that whether you are a beast or human, in the end, they will behave the same way when they get older, they will become too sensitive.

A strong wind blew and then fanned the fire which was almost extinguished as the flames grew bigger and quickly burned Lazarus' body.

Lazarus was shocked, but he was too late to put out the fire, so he could only surrender as the fire devoured his body, causing him to writhe in pain at that moment he could also smell the burning flesh coming from his body which added to his uncontrollable fear.

Taking advantage of this opportunity Lory and Zhao Li Xin accelerated their speed while aiming their swords at Lazarus' heart.

"I will not lose! NEVER!" Lazarus is still fighting his inevitable fate.

Lazarus opened its jaws wide in preparation to devour Lory and Zhao Li Xin.

But then Zian landed on the head of the giant snake, in a cool and calm manner he knelt down on one knee and placed his hands on Lazarus's head with a firm voice he coldly said: "This is our end, Lazarus"

A moment later Zian's figure was absorbed by Lazarus once again they became one but that meant Zian had control over Lazarus as a result of all the black mana originating from his body slowly withering away until it completely dissipated without a trace indicating more souls were released.

At that time Lao Min Na cupped her hand around the small light orb then a relieved smile spread across her face as if a heavy burden has left her. Lao Min Na holds the small light orbs in front of her chest before slowly disappearing.

Lazarus could feel he was losing all his strength suddenly he felt scared for the first time, Lazarus frantically begged and shouted "Stop it Zian, if I die so will you! Do you want to die like this? stop it Zian, ZIANNNN!"

Losing all of his strength, he could no longer block Lory and Zhao Li Xin's attacks, he could only let their swords powerlessly pierce through Lazarus' heart unhindered. The light power of the trinity staff was like poison that rotted him from within while the crimson lightning pierce his heart thoroughly without giving the Demon a chance for Lazarus to survive in any way, needless to say, this is the end of Lazarus.

"LUCIENNTT!" Lazarus let out a long howl as a dazzling beam of light lit up the sky like a rising sun then there was a long bang followed by a gust of wind that swept across the area before long the darkness dissipated to reveal a clear blue sky and sunlight illuminating the plains with warm golden light.
