My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1437 1434. To the Future: A Contract Written in the Sword
Murphy said that the appearance of this ghost was most likely related to the chaotic aura left by the Burning World Demon Soldiers who participated in the siege when Dusk drove the ratmen to attack the city of Mejewa.

He didn't just say that.

Considering the "unique identity" of the ghost in front of him, Murphy did not dare to put such a bad pot on his "father-in-law" in front of his lover.

He did sense a certain degree of chaos contamination from the ghost in front of him, but this guy miraculously still maintained a certain degree of sanity and did not completely fall into chaos. Perhaps this meant that there was something wrong with Murphy's judgment.

"Salifu said that the arena in Mejwa City occasionally stages battles between spirits, and the shadow elves are very good at the evil art of capturing spirits. This arena itself has a certain probability of capturing the souls of the gladiators who died in it.

Perhaps my father's spirit was formed long before the fall of Mejwa.

Perhaps Salifu was expecting this result because he buried him here. That guy might even have determined this. He insisted that I come here so that I could see my father again.

He just didn't expect that there was a chaotic aura involved in this matter."

Adele held the Shadow Fang in her hand and told Murphy her guess, but the Vampire Governor did not comment.

It wasn't that he didn't want to discuss why his father-in-law appeared as such a strange spirit, but because when Adele finished speaking, the ghost in front of them attacked both of them.

It looks very much like the starting move of Sarivo's assassination sword technique.

With the evasive slide of the classic Shadow Step, he stabbed the spirit blade in front of Murphy's eyes like a flash, but was blocked by the tough wings, and took the attack without any injury.

Murphy held Adele's wrist, and when his wings flapped forward to repel the opponent's pause, he used the wings to break through the space. He and Adele disappeared from the spot and reappeared in a safer place in the back. The Long Night Guard was unsheathed, but the necessary evil was not summoned.

This was because the magic sword had fallen into a strange "evolutionary state" ever since the young lady in Mist City used it to kill her mother.

Its extremely solid sword body has been shattered, and it is taking shape in the scabbard as if it is being reborn. The process is not slow, but it has not been completely reshaped yet, so it cannot be used in battle.

But Murphy was not afraid of the ghost father-in-law in front of him.

The contact just now made him realize that the strength of the ghost in front of him was not outrageous. The shadow elves were not specialized spirits, and the strength of their remains would decrease after death. Even "Hydra" Truman in his prime was just a gold-level warrior leader, not to the extent that Murphy could not deal with him.

The most important thing is that the other party is contaminated by chaos.

The infection of this power is a negative BUFF with "built-in weaknesses" in front of Murphy. He only needs to open the coverage of the Omega program to easily control the opponent.

But just as the Long Night Guard ignited the blood flame, Adele reached out and pressed down on his wrist.

Murphy looked at his lover in surprise, and Sister E said seriously:

"Don't get involved! Please leave this battle to me. I don't know if this is a meeting arranged by Salifu, but I hope to send my father to rest in peace as a daughter."

"Are you sure?"

Murphy said:
"Just because I can handle him easily doesn't mean you can too."

"But I have to do it, you know, it's a pity in my heart."

Adele requested:

"Please forgive me for being willful this time. Also, if the news of a son-in-law beating his father-in-law gets out, you will become a laughing stock among foreigners. I don't want you to fall into such an embarrassing situation."

"I will ban anyone who dares to gossip about me! I have the name of the Black Hand Clan memorized in my little notebook."

Murphy first made a harsh remark, but then sheathed his knife and said:

"But if you insist on doing this, then I can only be a spectator of this battle. I know you have very complicated feelings towards this city. I also know that you must cut off something here. Don't be stubborn! If you can't win, call for help. I'm in the stands."

After saying that, Murphy glanced at the ghost standing opposite him holding a sword.

No one knew what was wrong with the latter, as he did not take the initiative to attack. He just stood in the ruins of the arena and watched quietly.

The vampire governor took Adele's waist provocatively and nibbled the corner of her mouth, then spread his wings and flew into the intact stands next to him, and sat down in the VIP seat of the family matriarch.

Then, he saw the ghost standing with the sword turned to his defense line and performed the warrior salute unique to the shadow elves.

At this moment Murphy understood everything.

He shook his head and sighed in his heart.

Adele wanted to say goodbye to her father in the true sense, but she was probably going to be disappointed. The ghost in front of her only had Truman's figure and skills. It did not have the consciousness of the "Hydra of the Abyss". It was just a remnant soul bound in the arena.

Its only mission here is to meet challengers one after another and complete battles one after another.

This is also the reason why we didn't attack just now.

In a single-player fight, it is not against the rules for the opponent to have two people. Only when there is one challenger left on the field will the ghost's "attack program" be activated.

"That bastard Salifu must know all this. He wants Adele to come here because he hopes that Adele can release Truman's remaining spirit herself, thus ending this tragedy in every sense."

Murphy sat in the stands and thought:
"This shadow elf mistress is too hateful. It's fine that she killed Truman, but she also used his remaining soul as a toy. No wonder Sarifu tortured her like a pervert after destroying the city.
You deserve it! "

At the same time that Murphy realized the truth, in the ruins of the arena below that had been shattered by sinking, Adele was wielding the Black Shadow Fang to fight with the remaining spirit of her father.

She did not use the secret sword inheritance of the Shadow Elves, but the classic swordsmanship of the Blood Eagle Clan.

Just like Murphy just now, he used his wings and weapons to attack continuously. And because he had absorbed too much "essence of martial arts from other worlds" in the network of other worlds, he would suddenly pull out the pistol at his waist and use "Essence of Ashina-style Swordsmanship" on his old father when they passed each other again and again.

Such unconventional fighting methods would make the gladiators of this world at a loss, but she has to face the king of gladiators from the Eternal Rift. How could the same trick work a second time?
When they passed each other again, Adele had just pulled out her pistol when her father used the power of the Abyss Nine Snakes Slash to knock her and the gun away.

It was as if in an instant there were afterimages of nine Trumens attacking at the same time, causing her pistol to be thrown into the crack at the edge of the arena, and the Black Shadow Fang was also thrown out and stuck in the ground. However, due to the protection of her wings, Adele was not seriously injured. However, the subsequent violent attack forced her to retreat all the way.

Murphy's eyes widened in surprise at this moment.

He discovered the peculiarity of the gladiator ghost in front of him. It had never used any moves that exceeded Adele's power, and the outburst just now was limited to the extreme use of silver power. In other words, this residual spirit also possessed a very unique "power adaptability", which allowed it to freely adjust its own power according to the opponent's power.

Well, although I don’t know how the shadow elves created such a peculiar spirit, with such a perfect combat mode, it’s no wonder that the Shadow Elf Mistress would spend so much effort to keep it.

This remnant soul may have existed as a gladiator instructor for the Mejwa family.

"My little players will probably not be bored staying in this ratman nest these days. With the extreme skills displayed by Truman's remnant spirit, they will definitely be willing to come and complete a series of exquisite battles with him.

Perhaps there will be those silver players who have reached a bottleneck and come here to hone their skills in order to achieve a breakthrough to the gold level. Well, I should set up a 'ticket' for this advanced challenge mode and let the members of the Blood Rat Gang be responsible for the operation, and open their arena to the Eternal Rift!"

Murphy was just pitying his father-in-law's situation, but now he is thinking about how to squeeze out the last bit of value from his father-in-law, which shows how bad his dog-planning face is.

But sister E below is already in a tough fight.

The remnant spirit in front of her did not use sword skills beyond her strength, but the pressure it brought her was much greater than when she faced Sarivo before.

His father's understanding of skills has reached the pinnacle. After only a few exchanges, it actually found the weakness of the Blood Eagle's tactics and began to attack its wings fiercely, making it difficult for it to defend itself.

But when Adele thought that Murphy was in the stands, a surge of fighting spirit ignited in her heart.

Murphy says she has to cut something off here.

This statement is actually not accurate.

The reason why Adele had to complete this battle alone was that she hoped her father could see his grown-up daughter, and also to express her bond with Murphy. Although the residual spirit in front of her could not understand it at all, Sister E still hoped that this ritual battle could allow her father's spirit in heaven to rest in peace.

She gathered her full energy and threw herself back into the battle, bringing out the strength and skills honed from the battles she had experienced following Master Murphy. It was as if she was talking with her sword, showing the remnant spirit in front of her her life experiences.

She believed that her father could understand and read everything she wanted to express.

She no longer hates her mother. She has reconciled with her past self and returned to the place where she was born along the same path her mother escaped, telling her life story in front of her father's tombstone.

In this body called Adele, there is no more dark resistance and disgust, only the happiness and satisfaction of following and being loved with love.

She stepped into midnight and became an eternal sinner, but this was not a curse for her.

With the power thus interpreted, Adele fought more and more courageously. Each swing of her blade was more determined than the last, and each dodge and counterattack was more fierce than the previous one, as if her whole body was burning, like a ray of light that illuminated this dark and cold arena.

He is very much like the man who dominated this arena in the past. He also met his true love here and bravely chose his own destiny.

Salifu said that he should have become the rising star of the Shadow Elves, bringing about earth-shaking changes to the oppressed men of the Shadow Elves. However, Truman eventually gave up this vague ideal. He no longer took the path of hope and salvation, but took another path.

He did not become the star of hope for the Shadow Elves, but instead used his blood and life in the decisive battle to protect his lover and daughter.

He became Adele's hero and the most qualified father.

This is a conversation between father and daughter with swords!
Adele understood everything that the sharp blade of the remnant soul in front of her wanted to express. It had told every challenger in this arena about the state of mind at the moment of death countless times, but no one could understand it, except the girl in front of her.

Except for his daughter who came back
This is a letter that Truman wrote from the past to the future using his own death, and it is written only to his most precious treasure.

He was not able to be with her, unable to witness her growth, but he never left his daughter's life. Every time Adele experienced a challenge in her confused life, when Sister E looked back, her father was there.

He never left.

"clang"

In the last clash of metal swords, the black shadow fang burning with blood flames shattered the spiritual blade in the remnant spirit's hand.

Adele, covered in wounds, turned around gasping for breath. Behind her, the remaining spirit of her father was still in the same state as when he was hit, and was gradually dissipating.

This means that Adele has passed the gladiatorial trial hosted by her father. It also means that Adele has transformed her silver power into a unique and extraordinary golden rule under the blessing of the Night Singer, named "Night Singer Shadow Guard", a whisper played in the midnight for the rest of her life just to protect another person.

Perhaps it was an illusion caused by excessive blood loss. At the moment Adele fell, she really saw in a trance her father standing in the place where the remaining soul dissipated, smiling at her, and congratulating her on finding a love that was as worth giving everything for as his.

She also saw her mother, the woman she had always hated.

She was right beside her father, telling him in the most affectionate manner how much she missed him after not seeing him for so many years.

"I knew you were the best girl for me"

Finally, the gentle hug and whisper from Master Murphy, as well as the kiss on the forehead made Adele close her eyes.

She didn't want to move even a finger, she just wanted to fall asleep in this embrace in exhaustion until the sun rose tomorrow, and it would continue like this until she entered her own eternal silence.

“They are blessing me.”

Adele hugged Murphy tightly and whispered in his ear:
"They said that if you dare to bully me, then the Abyss Hydra Truman and the Free Hand Mona will knock on your door every night for the rest of your life. But don't worry, my master, they cherish their daughter so they will only teach you a lesson and will not hurt you."

"Then I'm really scared, a mixed doubles match from my father-in-law and mother-in-law"

Murphy hugged Adele tightly in his arms and said:

"Although I don't hate you calling me 'Master' in some private and exciting occasions, you see, we have all gone through this emotional certification under the watchful eyes of the two elders, so, from now on, just call me Murphy or cutie like Tris does.

After all, you are older than me, so it is not shameful to call me that."

"But I am very tired tonight, Lord Murphy, go find Trish, she will surely be happy to satisfy your obscene desires."

Adele snorted and then fell into a deep sleep.

The condensation of the prototype of the extraordinary power of the Golden Rule exhausted her energy, and she was in urgent need of rest. Murphy did not disturb his powerful girl. He picked up the Shadow Fang and held it in his hand, then left here with Adele in his arms.

As he stepped out of the arena, Murphy turned back to the empty ruins and said:
“Although the Elven Kingdom already has a Pale King, considering that not all Shadow Elves will return to the Kingdom of Castilla in the future, some Shadow Elves will still survive on this continent as an independent civilization and population. Therefore, in addition to Rose, they also need a Death God of the Abyss who can help them control the cycle of life and death.

I know that your remnant soul is not qualified to become the appearance of the god of death, but at least I can fulfill my wife's last wish.

The face of the Shadow Elf God of Death will be modeled after you. When Salifu enters into death, more concepts about you and death will be filled into the empty body, and eventually, under the guidance of Rose, the underworld will be set up for the Shadow Elves as well.

You have said goodbye to your daughter, but your brother is still eager to ask for your forgiveness.

That pervert is an unforgivable bastard to anyone, but maybe he means more to you, so I will give you a chance.
Oh, deceased one, I am sorry to disturb your rest.

But when the necessary moment arrives, answer the call of the Withered One, and send one last helping hand to everyone you still care about, from the past to the future.

I believe this will bring more comfort to the deceased.”
