Chapter 1104: Chapter 779: Neighbor Old Wang Ares?

Under normal circumstances, Roger was no match for Devour, but with the boost from Multiple Burst, his power skyrocketed in an instant.

So, seeing the result in front of him, Roger was quite shocked.

The phantom behind Devour collapsed and disappeared, he knelt weakly on the ground, although he tried hard to get up, he was too seriously injured, and the side effects of the collapsing ring were gradually manifesting.

"Who... who are you, really?"

"Someone with such power cannot possibly be a nobody."

"As you said, I come from a low-energy world."

Roger raised his hand to sheathe his weapon.

The power of the rules began to backfire, and Devour’s body became riddled with holes, faint cracks appeared on his face, and even though he desperately tried to suppress them, they grew deeper.

Crack. Crack.

A light sound came from behind, and the stone house Del had previously sealed shattered with a roar. The fighting outside had long since awakened Kenneth, so the moment the seal was broken, he rushed out.

"Mr. Devour."

Kenneth looked at Roger in astonishment.

"Ignite me with your flame."

"In a world where the strong are respected, you have won."

A hint of desire flashed in Devour’s eyes, striving for another way to die.

Black flames coiled around, and Roger seemed to sense something.

"You said Ares sent you to kill me, but how did he know my name?" Roger asked.

"It was Patrick who informed him, and then everything else happened," Devour answered casually. "Kill me, I won’t tell you more."

"Is it because of those emotions buried deep within you?"

"You know?"

Roger shook his head, "I don’t know what happened, I can only feel the emotions you hide. You are filled with fear and hatred towards that man, such complex feelings."

Seeing the expression on Devour’s face, he understood something instantly.

"You hate him but have no choice but to obey him."

Roger showed a strange expression. Thinking of what happened to Kenneth and Patrick, his mind raced and he couldn’t help but speak up.

"Are you perhaps Ares’s illegitimate son?"

Ares seemed to always play the role of the neighbor’s elder Wang, and if Devour was truly his son...

Tsk tsk...

Pfft!

As soon as Roger finished speaking, Devour spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky, his eyes widened, unable to understand Roger at all.

"You may kill me, but you cannot insult my mother!"

"I come from the North, king of the Ice Dragon clan!"

At this time, Kenneth, who was standing also looked embarrassed. He quickly stepped forward and recounted some of Devour’s experiences briefly.

"So that’s how it is," Roger came to a sudden realization.

"It seems the massacre back then has another hidden truth?" he immediately asked.

By this time, Devour’s body was on the verge of collapse, when suddenly the land beneath his feet rose, pulling his lower body into the ground.

The power of the earth surged into Devour’s wounds, relieving them.

"Since you’re not his son and filled with hatred for him, then perhaps there’s room for negotiation between us."

Devour was powerful, likely having helped Ares with many matters, and a lot of vital information could be obtained from him.

"What happened back then... haha."

The Ring of Rules collapsed, and even with Roger’s help controlling the injuries, Devour was extremely weak at this point.

"The outside world has always rumored that I killed all the royal family members of the Ice Dragon clan and then became king, but in reality, the one who did these things wasn’t me, it was Ares."

"The council hall was piled with the corpses of ice dragons, father, brother, almost all the male members were killed, he would ask each time he killed one."

"Submit or die."

When it was my turn, there weren’t many male members left alive.

"And then you surrendered?" Kenneth couldn’t help but ask.

Devour looked frank.

"Of course."

"Did you forget the dignity and honor of being a dragon?" Kenneth questioned.

"Ha, what is that?"

"Can it keep me alive? Can it keep my mother and sisters alive?" Devour sneered and then gazed at Kenneth.

"I’ve done many things for Ares, so I’m aware of your identity, you know? In my most desperate moments, I longed most to see Lord Emil."

His face was mournful, "Unfortunately, there’s no miracle in this world, as long as they can survive, I’ll do anything."

Roger was silent.

He finally understood where Devour’s self-destructive madness stemmed from.

So many years had passed, his strength had grown, but under Ares’s manipulation, he had long been in despair.

On one hand, he had a strong will to survive, because only by living could his sisters and mother live.

On the other hand, he yearned for death.

Because only death could truly free him.

After my death, let the flood come.

Life and death.

Devour kept jumping between the two extreme emotions.

For him, death might be a relief, but living required enduring more pain.

"Alright, I’ve satisfied your curiosity, now you can go ahead."

Death came, yet Devour appeared calm.

"I said you don’t have to die, as long as you are willing to cooperate." Roger stated word by word.

"If I help you, Ares won’t let them go. I admit he’s a cruel tyrant, but at the cost of my death, perhaps he might treat them better..."

"That’s just self-deception." Roger interrupted Devour’s words.

"Since death is inevitable, don’t you want to do something to the one who tormented you, slaughtered your clan before you die?"
