The Ultimate Evolution - Chapter 663

Chapter 663

However, Sheyan’s nudges were futile . Mbenga’s lifeless eyes remained dull and his body limp . One could describe his condition as akin to gossamer, or a flickering candle in the wind, extinguishable at any second .

"Ahhhhh!" Sheyan couldn’t resist himself from slapping Mbenga’s face, as 5 clear fingerprints formed . Blood trickled slowly out Mbenga’s nose as Sheyan roared furiously .

"You can’t die yet! Not until you see this for yourself!"

Unbeknownst why, while he was roared furiously, his nose turned sour and turbulent emotions flooded his chest . At this moment, he subconsciously recalled that stormy night, when he was pursued to the brink of desperation right before he entered the nightmare realm .

Without the fate of encountering the nightmare realm, he would be just like Mbenga; carrying a deep-seated unwillingness as he departed from the world . . .

Sheyan forcefully propped up Mbenga’s nose and drowned the ‘Endless Spirited Vodka’ down his throat . Though his mouth overflowed with vodka, Sheyan could clearly notice Mbenga’s Adam’s apple throbbing slightly . That indicated Mbenga had at least drank down a mouth of ‘Endless Spirited Vodka’, and perhaps, a tiny portion of his HP would be swiftly restored!

Gradually, Mbenga’s lifeless pupils contracted, followed by a slight twitch of his finger . Finally, he observed Sheyan with clarity and cast his trademark silly smirk

"You… . . . you’ve obtained the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ ?"

Sheyan’s eyes heated up . Even with his current condition, Mbenga was still concerned about him acquiring the ‘Stairway of the Sun’! Sheyan sighed sentimentally and earnestly answered .

"You did it, Mbenga, you did it . You personally killed Guarba and avenged your clansmen! Look!"

Listening to his words, Mbenga became momentarily dumbstruck . Sheyan then dragged him over and supported his shoulder up, allowing him to personally witness the corpse of the dead Guarba .

"Yes, you did, it! You ended him with a single stab!"

Dang clank! A gently metallic ringing resounded, as Mbenga subconsciously dropped his pike to the ground .

All of a sudden, a lightning jolted through the sky . The floodgates of torrential rain finally poured down . Mbenga panted heavily as he lifted his face towards the sky . His closed eyes brimmed with water droplets; who could tell, whether it was rainwater or tears… .

"Kuria . . . "

His thick lips mouthed out a syllable . Scenes of the past rapidly flashed through his mind .

A blessed family . An adorable child . A woman he secretly fell for . Mindless massacre, cruel tortures to the death as his hair stood in anger . A hundred heads rupturing in unison, a despairingly sorrowful sight to unleash a soul-shattering curse . The anguish of his soul being ripped asunder . . . one by one, till the concluding finale of today .

"Thank you!"

Two words that bore the meanings of joy, anger, and sorrow in life . Mbenga struggled free from Sheyan’s embrace and staggered forward . Eventually, he gently leaned against the Coiled Serpent Statue . Though his chest undulated violently, his face displayed peace and serenity; a sentiment of being relieved from an immense burden .

"I’m finally freed . My friend, thank you for fulfilling my lifelong wish . It is time for me to reunite with my family . Therefore, my heart’s, no, the greatest secret of Port Qom and the Coiled Serpent tribe shall belong to you . My only recompense to you . . . "

A minute later, beneath the giant Coiled Serpent statue, Mbenga/Gundazan breathed his last .

Aged 37, he died in peace with a gentle smile on his face . Like a slumbering reverie, death, to Mbenga who shouldered far more than he could, was an escape .

Sheyan heaved a despondently deep sigh . He stood up but his countenance was riddled with astonishment .

"The truth… . . was actually like that!! If not for Mbenga still retaining a fragment of Gundazan’s memories, then… . . . even I would find it absolutely impossible to believe that the truth I’ve been painstakingly looking for, actually lies in the beginning!"

************************

The pouring rain showered down with immeasurable melancholy, seeking to drown out the whole earth; painting an illusion of the wet season arriving prematurely .

At present, Sheyan smeared his body with the ‘Tigfog’ aura masking herb medicine again . With his arm fully rejuvenated and with the aid of his ‘+7 West’, climbing back up the cliff of this Kingdom of ruins wasn’t an arduous affair . While traversing the labyrinth of tunnels, due to the heavy siege of mutated beasts recently, the grounds polluted with blood and fluids were the best indicators .

Along the way, Sheyan cleverly evaded zones still plagued with intense fighting . Then, he finally drilled his way out through a hole dug opened by a certain biohazard creature . If his conjecture wasn’t wrong, he had returned to the misty inner core reaches .

All of a sudden, a tremendous threat surged towards him from the side . His senses tightened as he immediately darted to the side while covering his head with his arms .

Boom! A sonorous reverberated resonated . A perfectly intact archaic wall was smashed into smithereens, as bulks of rock fragments scattered about with dust soaring up .

A scarlet vile Licker tyrannically smashed a Sun subtribe guardian to the ground .

Its monstrous strength evidently widely surpassed this Sun subtribe guardian . Its terrifying razor-sharp claws inched down bit by bit . The sight of its skinless flesh was truly petrifying . It seemed as though within any second, it would succeed in severing the carotid artery of its foe, allowing warmth and wondrous blood juices to gush out .

Sheyan recalled about the Sun subtribe guardians he saw back at the bonfire plaza . An extremely domineering bunch, not one bit inferior to Mbenga .

In the face of his opponent’s descending threat, that Sun subtribe guardian issued a beast-like snarl . His head crooked above his shoulders, as his muscles swelled like rocks . Then, his entire body deformed slightly and expanded . Evidently, he should be a trusted aide of Guarba, one that had touched upon the secrets of the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ .

His eyes were bloodshot as he pummeled his wooden shield forward . After obtaining a tiny buffer, he immediately rolled away, before pulling out a sharpened single-handed stone hatchet from his waist . With a loud cry, he lunged forward and viciously hacked the Licker’s exposed brains!

A Licker’s weakest point was its head . With the decomposed state of its skull, its brains were mostly exposed to the atmosphere . In addition to the numerous injuries it sustained earlier on during battle, it released a mournful bellow . Brain pulp and tissues splattered everywhere like tofu, as ash-grey substances splashed against Sheyan’s face . A piercing foul stench almost made Sheyan vomit .

Knowing the Licker’s brain carried the highest concentration of toxins, Sheyan naturally didn’t dare to leave such substances on his face . He immediately picked up stony fragments and scrubbed these incomparably vile substances off his face .

The stubborn vitality of a Licker was truly astounding . Right before it perished, it unexpectedly spat out its enormous tongue towards the Sun subtribe guardian .

The Licker’s tongue was its most lethal offense, having no equal . Under the accelerated stimulation of its arteries, that enormous tongue surpassed the speed of a bullet . Only a red flash could be seen, before a large hole punctured through the Sun subtribe guardian . The enormous tongue then rolled back with a large chunk of mangled flesh .

The barbaric nature of this Sun subtribe guardian flared up upon receiving such a grave wound . With a frenzied howl, he pounced towards the Licker . Locking its neck with his brutishly thick arms, the guardian ruthlessly pulled!

Crack! The freak’s neck was instantly twisted and slouched to one side . One could observe few protrusions of its spinal column . Its enormous and terrifying tongue dangled down sluggishly, amidst the intensified convulsions of this freak . Evidently, it no longer had any chance of surviving .

But it didn’t stop there . The injured Sun subtribe guardian was utterly berserk, as he hacked his stone hatchet wildly onto the Licker’s brains . Blood and brain juice splattered everywhere, and he only ceased when most of its brain had been minced .

Still, he couldn’t be blamed for such an enraged insanity . This Licker had just butchered two of his clansmen and heavily wounded him . Since then, his vendetta for vengeance had scaled to a reckless, frenzied state .

After venting his anger, this Sun subtribe guardian mounted the Licker and gasped heavily for breath .

Suddenly, he swung his gaze towards Sheyan’s direction . Sheyan was instantly stunned . He was already bent on leaving this place, yet that warrior just had to start brawling with a Licker and obstruct his path . Moreover, the stern patrolling of other Ndipaya guardians make it exceedingly difficult for him to retreat either .

The nostrils of this Sun subtribe guardian twitched a little . Gradually, his crestfallen eyes regained an unparalleled wariness . His eyes turned bloodshot again

Sheyan immediately perceived that though he hadn’t tested the 3 meters limit of the herb medicine, the splashing of Licker’s brain matter onto him, and his subsequent actions had probably revealed his location .

Exhibiting extreme decisiveness, he immediately brandished ‘Ambition’ at the sight of abnormality . After triggering ‘Rum & Songs’ and stunning him for 2 seconds, Sheyan sprinted wildly to escape .

Meanwhile, he tossed behind a flask of agility curse-mix, as mild greenish fumes enveloped the battlefield behind him .
