Is This My End?

Watching the group of adventurers where his younger sister, the one who had sworn not to take dangerous missions, now found herself in the most dangerous place in the world, Richard couldn't help but shout, "Master!"

"Die..."

While the old master protected Richard, he unleashed his power once again, pushing his initial abilities to the limit. At this moment, his body had been pierced by the red shadows, and he could only risk his life one last time.

"Daphne, you must get out of here!"

Daphne, Richard's younger sister on the other path, heard her sister's cries. Her expression changed dramatically, and hesitantly, she took a step forward.

"Is he your brother? Then, you must reconsider, Daphne. Even two Emperors of the Sword may not be able to handle him. We must seize that opportunity and ensure his sacrifice is not in vain. We have to get out of here, or we will be a hindrance."

At this point, countless shadows flooded the death cave where Richard was, like a tide, and the entire path was sealed.

Boom!

But then, in the blink of an eye, the whole world shook, and the area calmed. Everyone was greatly alarmed.

Everyone saw a person, with extraordinary speed, rushing violently on his own through the shadows. Under his impact, the earth was mere dust! He easily penetrated the part that separated the cave from the outside and could even fly from the heights, descending and causing an unstoppable commotion.

In an instant, ten huge caves where there were blood shadows were swept away, not even the large stones falling on his head could stop him.

Boom!

He swept directly in another direction with an unstoppable momentum and pierced the cave where Richard was.

"He's not here... Hmm? You need help, I think you're a very interesting person." Gilgamesh waved his sword, and his path took him to Richard, along with his old master, out of the crevice in the blink of an eye.

Brummmm… Brummmm…

At this moment, all the ancient shadows went crazy and chased Gilgamesh's flight, who escaped with Richard hanging from his right arm, followed by millions of shadows.

Seeing Richard and his master being taken by Gilgamesh, Daphne's expression relieved.

"Daphne, while the shadows pursue them, if we don't leave now, we will really die."

"Yes, let's go..." Daphne silently uttered under a calm expression. She was here for her brother, but rushing forward would only result in her miserable death.

Boom!

Gilgamesh, like a Golden Titan, crashed to the ground through many holes. And right behind him, countless shadows pursued.

Since their delicious meal was snatched away, these ancient shadows were truly furious. In an instant, not only those from the rear but from all directions reached where Gilgamesh was heading.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In a moment, sounds that could make your scalp tingle penetrated from all directions. Overflowing with numerous ancient shadows, all aiming at Gilgamesh, who remained remarkably calm under this situation.

Boom!

Finally, Gilgamesh brought Richard and his old master to a trap they had prepared beforehand.

Roxy and Eris had hidden here before, witnessing the tide of ancient shadows. They immediately appeared and roared, unleashing darkness everywhere. Suddenly, countless golden chains shone brightly, sealing the space completely, and at the same time, they initiated their fierce attack, striking all the furious ancient shadows.

Boom! Boom!

In the blink of an eye, all the ancient shadows, like venomous snakes, were crushed onto the ground, shaking the earth. Hole after hole within the crater collapsed, causing the fleeing adventurers, who were getting farther and farther away, to be frightened. It was as if this area was sinking toward the center of the earth.

A while later, all the shadows lay dead on the ground, like discarded dry snake skins.

Gilgamesh's divine chains had obliterated their enemies with speed and intelligence.

When all the shadows lay dead in this place, only silence reigned. The event that Gilgamesh was anticipating did not occur.

"I couldn't find him, and it seems he doesn't want to come out..." Gilgamesh murmured as he looked at all the dead shadows.

Earlier, he had taken Eris, Roxy, and Cusnfiel to another hole in a different direction. Since he still couldn't find the entity, Gilgamesh guessed that the entity was always on the move to escape the hunt! Therefore, he set a trap to kill a large number of evil shadows to provoke the dark entity and lure it out.

However, even after killing so many, the entity still did not appear.

"Not bad, it can even withstand this..."

Gilgamesh was disappointed because he couldn't wait for that monster that could awaken for someone else. This underground area was huge; wanting to hunt down that entity that could freely traverse the earth was not an easy thing.

Richard, at this moment, was in a deep stupor. He had no idea that, in the end, the one who would save him would be the man who came to kill him.

"Argh..." Suddenly, Richard's old master wailed pitifully and fell to the ground convulsing. The shadows were cutting through his body, the red shadows inside his body visible along his muscles.

He had been stabbed by several red shadows. Although he cut off the main bodies, these remnants inside his body continued to grow, and he couldn't suppress them.

"Master..." Richard's pale expression turned grim, and he immediately wanted to move his master.

"Don't get close to him! Be wary of the shadows; they might enter your body!" Richard coldly reminded and separated Richard from his master, then told Cusnfiel, "Open his clothes..."

Cusnfiel immediately opened the old man's garments. Gilgamesh then poured holy water over the wounds. The old man's body immediately trembled with pain, and he couldn't help but scream.

"How is my master?" Richard urgently asked. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

The shadows inside his body were like leeches splashed with hydrated lime. They crawled out of the wounds and then fell dead on the ground motionless.

Gilgamesh smiled and said, "He'll be fine, but I want to know one thing, what will you do now?"

"What's the point of that question?" Richard didn't know what to ask for a moment.

"Well, you have an interesting story to tell me, so I wonder, what will you do now?"
