Chapter 179 Obsession with Revenge

When Ledros was still alive, he had never seen a woman as powerful as Callista.

After her death, she became even more unstoppable.

A cavalryman swung his sword and tried to split her body, but she blocked it casually, followed by a spear that pierced her body.

At noon, some ghost cavalry belatedly charged towards Ledras.

Want to deal with Ledros and avoid Kalista's massacre.

But they ignored Ledros' abilities.

This kind of behavior also turns into a stupid and ridiculous struggle.

Ledros just waved his sword gently and chopped these ghost cavalry off their horses.

On the other side, Callista has completed her hunting. Apart from the two of them, there is no other survivor on the battlefield.

The tall and slender Kalista stared at Ledros, her eyes cold and unwavering.

This made Ledros heartbroken.

"Calista?" he called softly.

[We are the Spear of Vengeance! 】

Callista's reply was loud, and not just hers.

"No, you are Kalista, the Spear of the Silver Throne!"

Ledros tried to wake her up, but in vain.

[We are punishers, make your oath, or disappear! 】

【Sinners must be punished! 】

[Our mission is not completed yet, the traitors will be tortured in our wrath! 】

The response Calista gave was so cold and mechanical, as if she had lost everything, and only her obsession with revenge had sustained her until now.

Ledros was so distressed that his whole heart clenched.

Even so, he was still unwilling to give up any hope of awakening Callista.

"You are the princess of the Kingdom of Kamavia and the niece of the king. I also swore allegiance to that king. Do you still remember?"

Calista still didn't respond. She just looked at him carefully for a moment, and then continued to stride forward without any pause.

Ledros stopped in front of her, not caring about her increasingly cold eyes.

"Calista, you are trapped in a never-ending spiral. At least your mission is impossible to complete. Everything you do is in vain!"

Calista showed no reaction.

Ledros suddenly pulled out the delicate pendant from his chest and handed it to Callista.

"This thing...do you remember it?"

Among the memory fragments of Ledros, this was the only thing that could stop her for a short time, every time.

Although it can only stay for a moment, it can still give Ledras hope.

Maybe he just needs to think about how to extend this moment longer...

Sure enough, Calista stopped.

She tilted her head and looked at the exquisite pendant. She stretched out her hand to touch it, but stopped just before touching it.

Ledros showed a smile: "I once wanted to give this to you, but you refused..."

There was a flash of hesitation in Calista's cold eyes.

"We...I...remember!"

This time, there was only one voice.

The coldness in Calista's eyes gradually faded, becoming sincere and vivid.

"Ledros..." She sighed, and her voice became softer: "You don't have to be like this, I can never give you what you want..." Ledros was very happy, his beloved woman was back, Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to satisfy him.

"I understand. Maybe I didn't understand at the time, but I understand now..."

Calista looked down at the illusory hands, her eyes full of pain: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken him to Blessing Island. If I didn't go, everything could have been avoided!"

Ledros comforted him softly: "This is not your fault. He has been possessed by madness. No one can change his mind, and perhaps no one will feel sad for him!"

"He wasn't always like that!"

Even after becoming like this, Kalista still has not forgotten his loyalty.

Ledros nodded.

"Indeed, but the person we know is no longer there, things have changed... We still have tasks to complete now, just like back then..."

Ledros's voice paused, and he suddenly realized that he shouldn't have said this.

Sure enough, Callista's expression turned cold again during the struggle, and coldness and ruthlessness occupied her eyes again.

She strode forward into the endless black mist.

Ledros clenched his fists, despair enveloped his heart.

Another expected failure!

Just like it had been countless times before, nothing had changed.

Ledros regained his past memories.

For hundreds of years, he has been trying to restore Kalista's former consciousness. He remembered that he had just been resurrected from the ruined curse and was hunting down the undead that took her life.

He thought that by eliminating all hatred, he would be able to restore her freedom.

But that was not the case. Just like himself, those undead souls could not be killed at all, and Kalista had never truly been free.

The goal he pursues is like a never-ending dream...

Ledras thought of that despicable man, Hecarim.

It was that guy who betrayed Callista with his own hands and gave her a fatal blow.

He had been punished - transformed into a centaur under the influence of the Curse of Ruin.

Ledros fought him hundreds of times in the past years and killed him in various ways.

But each time, Hecarim would rise from the Black Mist and become more powerful.

Ledros once sent that guy to Kalista. He thought that letting Kalista execute the betrayer personally would end this obsession with revenge, but he did not succeed.

Kalista killed Hecarim without hesitation and then continued to answer the call for vengeance.

Nothing has changed!

Ledros despaired.

He also tried to commit suicide, exposing himself to the scorching sun and letting the scorching sunlight burn his body and evaporate him. The painful feeling actually gave him relief.

Another time, he met a purple-skinned mage, who roared and was lost in the surging rune magic.

But no matter how he commits suicide, he will be resurrected in the black mist soon and return to that deserted and dark island.

Over and over again, year after year.

This kind of hellish torture would have made an ordinary person completely crazy. Ledros was able to persevere only because his will was strong enough.

The obsession to let her regain her freedom supported Ledros to continue moving forward!
Ledros woke up from his memories and looked at Calista leaving, his heart filled with sadness.

Is it really all in vain?
Maybe Thresh is right. He wants to free her from the road of revenge, but it's just out of his own selfishness...

She forgot everything at this time, revenge was her only thought, and such a pure life had lasted for countless years.

If he really wakes her up, will it be the beginning of another kind of torture for her?
Or...she would rather be immersed in her obsession with revenge?
Ledros fell into deep confusion...
