Chapter 485: Battling the Dragon Bone White Ghost Lizard!
“Wait, what do you mean!”
Hearing the angry remnant soul’s words, Victor suddenly felt a chill on his back.
“Tell me clearly, what kind of personality is in the Rose Sword?”
“Hehe, it seems that it didn’t tell you the truth. Back then, in order to complete his rebirth, kindness and longingness were left in the main body. Therefore, what you control can’t be any kindness at all!”
“… Is that the truth?”
Victor subconsciously swallowed his saliva and questioned kindness.
“He’s lying. He’s trying to sow discord between the two of us. Why don’t you think about it? If I was deception, would you still be alive?”
“I’m lying? Hehe, deception, you’re really boasting shamelessly. If you didn’t lie to him, why didn’t you tell him that you’ve already swallowed up honesty from the start?”
“He might not be able to tell, but could it be that I, who share the same origin as you, can’t tell?
“You said that you would take the lead, but I’m telling you, it’s impossible! Unless you return the lead to honesty, otherwise, I wouldn’t mind losing a wisp of my main body’s remnant soul. At most, I can just rebuild it.”
With that said, no matter how stupid Victor was, he could still tell that something was wrong.
From the very beginning, kind… No, it was deception. From Victor’s point of view, the true form of the mountain spirit should be honesty, and deception was just a ploy to gain Victor’s trust.
Not only that, there was another point that Victor was concerned about.
In the beginning, the mountain spirit addressed Victor as master, but now, it no longer addressed him as master. Victor thought that the relationship between the two had become closer, but now it seemed that deception had regained control.
“What he said is true, right?”
“Hehe, since I have been exposed, I won’t pretend anymore. Indeed, I am deception. Before I met you, I have already fused with honesty, but so what? At the very least, all this while, I’ve never harmed you, right?”
A sneer came from within the Rose Sword, and it continued, “To put it bluntly, the reason why I hid my ident.i.ty, you should be clearer than me. Because I am the deceptive personality, no matter what I do, I will be suspected.”
“If you tell me the truth, I might not reject you.”
Victor could not help but sigh when he heard this.
Deception was right. If Victor had known its ident.i.ty from the start, it probably would not have had so much trust in it.
“Now that things have come to this, what do you plan to do? Destroy me? Hand over control to honesty? Hehe, let me tell you, sometimes honesty is the scariest character!
“You have to know that the main body has inherited the teachings of the Supreme Heartless Sect. Sometimes, honesty also means heartless!”
Hearing this, Victor hesitated.
Yes, he was afraid.
He was afraid that one day, for the sake of the big picture, it would really possess him.
Thinking of this, Victor fell silent.
He stood between deception and anger with his head lowered, not saying a word.
After a long time, Victor raised his head and revealed a smile.
“What if I’m willing to give you a chance?”
After deliberating for a long time, Victor still believed that deception was the most suitable remnant soul to lead. Anger was too impulsive, and it might have conflicts with Victor. As for honesty, he might as well forget about it.
However, toward Victor’s answer, deception seemed a little surprised.
When even the other soul remnants of the same origin were unwilling to give it a chance, it was Victor who gave it this chance.
“You… Are you sure? I’m deception. Most of my words can’t be trusted!”
“I’m sure. Why? Are you so eager for me to suppress you? Or do you really want to disappoint me?
Victor chuckled, he continued, “In short, you haven’t disappointed me during this period of time, and you haven’t lied to me. Besides, compared to anger and honesty, it’s easier to get along with you. However, if you do something that I can’t forgive, I will still suppress you.”
With that, Victor’s wrist shook slightly, forming a sword flower. He faced the Dragonbone White Ghost Lizard’s human form and sneered, “Alright, we have reached a consensus. What about you?”
“You want me to acknowledge deception as the leader? I’m telling you, it’s impossible!”
“Then I’ll beat you until you acknowledge it!”
“First strike! Heart Knock!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword intent in Victor’s body gushed out like an incomparably sharp spear, stabbing straight at the Dragonbone White Ghost Lizard!
This strike contained almost 20% of Victor’s experience. Combined with the tempering of his sword intent, this strike could shatter mountains and rivers!
“Nurturing sword intent? Haha, you really continue to surprise me. Unfortunately, if it wasn’t for the fact that some karma was involved, you would’ve been an excellent target to possess.”
Looking at the airwave that was charging toward it, the Dragon Bone White Ghost Lizard merely sneered. Its aura surged, and boundless soul power condensed into a barrier that collided with the sharp sword qi!
Instantly, the aftershock of the collision caused the entire valley to tremble. Within a radius of ten kilometers, mountains, giant trees, demonic beasts, and everything else were razed to the ground!
“Not bad, it’s actually beyond my imagination. Since that’s the case, it’s time for me to be a little more serious.”
The Dragon Bone White Ghost Lizard let out a cold laugh and pointed out with a finger. Its soul power was like a flood of ferocious beasts as it condensed into an invisible shackle that extended toward Victor!
“Retreat quickly! Don’t be trapped by that shackle! Otherwise, even I won’t be able to rescue you!”
“Retreat? Hehe, how can it be that simple? Unless the Karmic Chain is forcefully broken, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will definitely lock you up!”
“Karmic Chain? Hehe, it’s a pretty good move. I’ll take It!”
Don’t forget, Victor’s trump card was never his physical body, blood qi, or sword intent!
“It’s just a Karmic Chain. I can do it too!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Victor also pointed his finger. The Karmic Chain immediately extended and locked onto the Dragon Bone White Ghost Lizard!
“That’s impossible!”
Seeing this scene, the Dragon Bone White Ghost Lizard frowned and sucked in a breath of cold air!
One had to know that this Karmic Chain had been pa.s.sed down since ancient times. It could be said that no one in the five plains could use it except for it!
However, it saw with its own eyes as Victor used the Karmic Chain, and it was even more powerful!
“How many secrets do you actually have?”
The Dragon Bone White Ghost Lizard’s eyes flickered. It took a step forward and condensed an avatar behind it!
“Are you crazy! You actually condensed the avatar of your true form! You should know that doing this will attract their attention! Once exposed, all our efforts to erase our traces will be in vain!”
“Now that things have come to this, do I have any other choices?!”
