Chapter 14 The Fire of Resentment

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

In the dark night, the only thing that was still shining was the lantern in Toka's hand, but the flame like a candle in the wind might not last long.

"What an uninvited guest. It seems that I am going to die here today, but there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, I am too lazy to linger on my last breath."

Feeling Ryan's killing intent, Toka was very indifferent, as if death was just an outing for him.

"You, it's Toka...you killed everyone in the village..."

A dry, hoarse voice came out of Ryan's mouth, like the crackling and burning sound of death fire, anyone who has been with him will find something wrong.

Now Ryan, the situation is very wrong.

"Yeah, that was a tough job, searching around, looking for it, and finally letting you go, with a miserable end."

As he said that, Toka looked at his whole body. Where did that high-spirited young man who was about to become a general go?Atrophied muscles, a decadent face, and even gray hair, I am only 45 years old!

Just to carry out that bullshit order of Ao Zai!

What did he end up with?Abandoned by the Fire Nation, thrown here to eat and wait to die, like a sick old man who is afraid every day, until one day he can't breathe and die alone?
It would be better to be killed by this original target, at least not alone before death.

"Let me... run away? What do you mean?" Ryan asked subconsciously, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Ha, do you really think that we are massacring the village to search for those soil sects? You are wrong. Ordinary people and soil sects are the citizens of the future Fire Nation. The real reason why we will not hesitate to kill everyone is that You!"

Toka smiled miserably, telling the past that had been buried in his heart.

He is a standard person educated in the Fire Nation. He joined the army with his blood and good skills. He was promoted because of his meritorious service in the war, but he was forgotten for several years because of the change of the monarch.

But opportunities always come unexpectedly, and the new Lord of Fire, Aozai, gave him a crucial opportunity, that is... to hunt down a boy.

That's Ryan.

Regardless of the reason, Toka immediately gathered his soldiers and horses, and followed the king's clues to search desperately in the earth power country. The king paid off, and finally found the target in a village. In order to keep it secret, they ruthlessly killed him. All villagers including Ryan.

But he never expected that a soul from a distant planet merged with Ryan's dead body and successfully escaped under his nose.

The mission failed, and the concept of the Fire Nation, which always only looks at the results, thought of falsely reporting the mission at first, but a blind soldier reported the matter to the above, so Toka was punished for several crimes, cut off all rights, and fell here .

"Over the years, I have chased an empty goal, burned down countless villages, and turned into a machine that only knows how to kill. Looking back now, it's ridiculous. I don't care anymore. You have also found your enemy. What's left? The choice is up to you."

Toka ended his memories, and looked at the silent Ryan calmly with his cloudy eyes.

"It's so funny," Ryan said, "Do you think I've been chasing an empty shell?"

The pain of being entangled in resentment every day, and the preparation for a big war, all disappeared under the relief of this old man.

"A life full of haze has always surrounded me. A person who has lost everything is just an empty container?" Toka said calmly.

Ryan walked to the door in silence.

Killing this tool is useless, the key lies in the fire king Aozai... Just when he was thinking this way, the flame in his heart could not be suppressed completely.

Time went back to the bloody afternoon when Ryan possessed him.

The ruthless fire engulfed everything, and the whole village was reduced to a sea of ​​flames. Even a god who lived in the spirit world here decayed and died because the land was turned into scorched earth. All these grievances gathered together and had nowhere to vent.

By coincidence, Ryan recovered, so the resentment possessed his body, forming the fire of anger and the flame of hatred, which gradually grew stronger.

Ryan realized this and kept trying to suppress himself, fearing that one day he would lose control and become an unconscious vengeful ghost, and the only solution he could think of was to eliminate the source of the resentment, which was to kill Toka.

But it doesn't help. Once this flame is lit, it can't be extinguished, and it will always absorb pain as fuel. Ryan has walked along the way, and I don't know how many resentments of the people of the earth power have been attracted to him.

The reason why Kai was not killed that day was because Ryan knew that once he saw blood, he would definitely lose control.

Now anger and hatred are intertwined and fused, and they reached the peak when they saw Toka, forming a fire of resentment in Ryan's heart!
"You!!" Toka realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

I saw Ryan's eyes were red, the dark red hatred wrapped around his body, the black and red resentment gathered at the top, his body was wrapped in flames and swelled, the whole person was like a Balrog from hell!

Now Ryan's body is no longer dominated by that Ryan, but the monster that is dominated by the resentment of the gods and absorbs the resentment of countless tragic deaths.

Ghost of resentment!
Seeing the resentment spreading towards him, Toka laughed mockingly: "Hahaha! Aozai, have you seen it? This is a monster you made yourself!"

He then rushed into the flames, ending his tragic life.

But the wrath of the grumbling ghost will not disappear!Feeling the whispers of countless curses and hatred in countless minds, the already crazy giant howled to the sky, and the jet of angry flames dyed the sky red, and then the legs gathered strength, and jumped towards the palace!
------

"Hey? Look over there, is it a fireball or a meteor? ... Hey! It's flying this way!"

"alert!"

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Boom boom boom!
The whole palace was like an earthquake!
The ghost of resentment fell with a torrent of resentment, and the surrounding soldiers were blown away like ants!It raised its deformed right hand high, and threw countless condensed flames, instantly turning the entire palace into a sea of ​​flames!

------

In X, X, month, the palace of the Raging Fire Kingdom was attacked by an unknown giant beast and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, it was killed by the great Raging Fire King Aozai on the spot and turned into ashes...

------

I do not know how long it has been.

The underground cell somewhere was dark and drowsy. In the middle of it was a figure chained to a bed. His chest rose and fell slightly, proving that he was still alive.

"Uh..." The figure's eyelids twitched and his fingers moved lightly, as if he would wake up soon.

Noisy!
The pure blue thunder fire shot out from the darkness hit the figure and made him fall into a coma again.

"Sorry, Ryan, it's not time for you to wake up yet."

The female voice hidden in the darkness said in a complicated tone, and then left the cell.

Because she understands that this won't last long.
