Chapter 988: Chapter 358: I Have a Speedrun Guide for the Dungeon_3

It was supposed to be like this, but now it’s not possible.

After a series of clashing and clanging sounds, Austin emerged from the Dark Area with bloodshot eyes, carrying Twilight Deadlock, and marched towards Wayne with murderous intent.

At this moment, Wayne had disconnected from the Outer World and taken over the account, turning into the familiar form of a Death Knight.

Wayne + Moonlight Knight, Austin half-mad.

Wayne + Death Knight, Austin could no longer tolerate it.

William grasped the Dawn Admonition, shielding his delicate-skinned boyfriend behind him, and shouted, "Austin, calm down, you’ve already killed the murderer who killed Aunt Slyphy. The Wayne behind me is innocent; they are not the same person."

"I know, but he deceived me!"

Austin raised his sword towards Wayne, his voice fierce, "When we first met, you called yourself the Moonlight Knight, and said you weren’t a Death Knight in the Outer World. And now?"

"Austin, I’ve retrieved the teacher’s body, and now Megan is looking after it."

"..."

Austin paused slightly with his sword raised, the scarlet in his eyes dimming somewhat. He shook his head, "If it weren’t for you, the Wayne of this world wouldn’t have become a Death Knight."

"It was I who deceived him, I made up lies to make his death more painful."

What does that mean, to kill someone and crush their spirit?

"How do I know you’re not lying to me now?" Austin persisted.

"With your intelligence, do you think I could deceive you?"

"..."

The effect was mediocre. If it were the Lando Family’s Divine Blood, Slyphy and Veronica would have simply nodded in agreement, proudly declaring they couldn’t be deceived.

But Austin was different, unless he was willing to turn a blind eye, it was hard for Wayne to deceive him.

Consistent inside and out, this time was no exception.

Seeing that Austin wanted an explanation, Wayne sighed and waved, planting Shadowmare into the ground, "I’m scared of you, William. Hand me the Dawn Admonition, I’ll cover it up for this Old Login and show what true talent is!"

William nodded repeatedly, exited the Sun Knight form, and waved, sending the Dawn Admonition into the Void.

Wayne immediately followed and pulled out the Dawn Admonition, transforming into a Sun Knight in the astonished gaze of Austin, radiating immense light all around him.

"Wayne is awesome!"

"Not at all, William, you’re also very strong."

"..."

Austin, struck by their conversation as if struck by lightning, went blank. First a Moonlight Knight, then a Death Knight, and now even a Sun Knight could transform; what exactly was the Wayne of the Inverted World?

"Do you understand now why the Dark Goddess was willing to share a bed with me?"

Wayne raised an eyebrow, placing Dawn Admonition, White Night Purity Words, and Shadowmare on the ground in front of him, pointing to Twilight Deadlock in Austin’s hand, "I’m chosen by all five gods. In the Outer World, father and son alternately acted as the Dark Knight, providing alibis for each other. Had I not actively reported, the teacher would still be concealed from you."

Austin’s brow furrowed, and he flung Twilight Deadlock towards Wayne, who caught it with one hand. Black light flowed over his entire body as he completed his transformation into a Dark Knight.

Very proficient, obviously not his first time.

Austin didn’t speak, nor did he think about reclaiming Twilight Deadlock, and strode towards where Megan was.

He intended to bring Slyphy’s remains back to Lando Manor and bury them personally in the small grove.

Wayne, frowning, followed behind. Austin’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with the joy of vengeance and the contentment of retrieving his wife’s remains, but devoid of any outward vision.

This man had already resigned himself to death; the moment Slyphy’s remains were buried would also mark the time he lay in the ground himself.

Wayne, with a complex mind, followed Austin, not understanding the devotion; he still thought the notion of dying for love was just an ancient tale.

The still-desirable queen, and the butler, who looked almost like a copy of Slyphy, had he been Austin, would have embraced them long ago, with another beneath him.

Austin’s ruthlessness was something Wayne couldn’t learn; he was too kind, didn’t know how to refuse, willing to bear the shame of being a scoundrel all his life as long as they were happy.

For he lacked the talent and knew he would never learn Austin’s ruthlessness in this lifetime; thus, Wayne held great respect for him, willing to watch him die for love.

But then...

What about Megan?

With Austin’s departure, Megan was likely to follow soon.

What a troubling situation!

Wayne wanted to persuade but didn’t know how to begin; he took a few steps and noticed the Undead Warhorse standing alone, looking lost and abandoned.

"Euryale, come here. I’m Wayne."

——

Lando Manor, small grove.

At this time, dawn had broken, and sunlight poured through the high-altitude mirror, casting second-hand warmth into the Inverted World.

Austin had buried Slyphy’s remains last night, standing silent in front of the gravestone.

Behind him stood Megan, with Wayne, William, Philomena, Anastasia, and Sophia, who had come to attend the funeral.

And the Undead Warhorse Euryale, tied outside the small grove.

Like the Godchosen Artifact, Euryale too was different inside and out, dull and wooden, lacking vitality and spirit, merely following orders, never communicating telepathically with Wayne.

Except for Sophia, who waited eagerly for the funeral to end so she could rush back to the palace to refine Divine Blood to empower herself, the others were somewhat moved by the scene.

After a while, Austin gestured, drawing out Twilight Deadlock.

Megan stepped forward, her hand on the sword blade, "Sir, the lady would certainly wish for you to live well."

Austin didn’t speak and pushed away the bothersome Megan. Then, a hand pressed on his shoulder from behind, its grip so strong that it forced Austin to frown continuously.
