Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 85: Chapter 38 Desire_3

””Nothing much, how are you? Why don’t you go rest for a bit?” Li Yelai looked at Bai Yang’s severed arm. His arm had broken during the battle with a Void Realm creature on the Red Wanted Order.

”I’m fine, my arm has been found and preserved. Once this is all over, I can just have the Epidemic Doctor Captain reconnect it for me.” Bai Yang said with a smile, ”If there’s anything you’re puzzled about, you can tell me.”

”Well... I’ve actually been thinking about this ability, the Shadow Army, and how to gain more enhancements without killing.” Li Yelai spoke honestly since the other party had already seen his second Face, so there was no point hiding it.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yang gave Li Yelai a deep look, ”In Border City No. 2, someone also obtained the Shadow Army capability after their Fifth Awakening.”

”And then what?” Li Yelai asked.

”Even as a Processor, it’s impossible to always come across someone or some creature that deserves to die. So, his Shadow Army count was very low. Then his desires overwhelmed him and, to acquire a large number of Shadow Army, he massacred several villages in the wasteland, becoming a wanted criminal,” Bai Yang said in a low tone, ”You better not become that kind of person.”

Li Yelai said solemnly, ”I won’t, I dislike killing.”

Bai Yang thought to himself ’If I hadn’t seen you chase down a group of cavalry, I might have believed you!’

Yet considering it was all for avenging teammates, Bai Yang nodded slightly, ”Don’t get obsessed. In the Void Realm, there exist supreme beings that specifically tempt those who indulge in slaughter. However, some people do deserve to die, like the bastards who caused all this trouble. If I catch him, I’ll show him what hellish beauty looks like!”

Li Yelai nodded in agreement.

He also knew that at this very moment, not just the Black Prison of the East City Branch was risking their lives in battle, but other teams and branches as well.

If it hadn’t been for Li Yunyan being safe in the family apartment,

Li Yelai dared not imagine how panicky he would be.

This battle... who knew how many comrades would be sacrificed...

Those beasts who had done such things had become sworn enemies.

No mercy could be shown towards them!

...

On the other hand, in the lower levels of Black Prison,

a fierce battle had just ended, the Ice and Snow Witch, Yin Tiger, and the Demon Host were subdued in succession.

But the cost was grievous.

Several seasoned Ye Boshou had fallen in battle.

And now, lying in front of Yang Chen was a man who voluntarily donned the Black Dragon Armor to suppress Taboo Items.

As the battle ended, he decisively plunged a blade into his heart through the gap in his armor, to end his life, lest he become a monster controlled by the armor.

Yang Chen silently watched his dying comrade, his face gloomy and terrifying.

”Commander... after I die, take out the mystical materials from my soul well. This Black Dragon has quite a lot...” The man, clad in dark battle armor with skin already growing scales and hands turned to sharp claws, was indeed half-man, half-dragon in form.

The Dragon Man leaned against the wall and chuckled, ”Making a Magic Potion for the Night General, or Spiritual Ability Equipment. Consider it a gesture from a senior like me.”

Yang Chen asked in a low voice, ”You’ve realized it, haven’t you?”

”Of course, you can’t hide things. You plan to nurture the Night General to become the next Champion. I might as well help you out,” the Dragon Man laughed lightly, ”Don’t put too much pressure on yourself... You’ve done well... Very well...”

Then, he breathed no more.

Yang Chen then looked at his corpse, at those comrades’ corpses.

In agony, he clutched his head, unleashing a terrifying scream.

Once again, he had helplessly watched as his comrades died before his eyes.

Once more...

（Reporting my progress, the initial order was 2600. But because of the red packet promotion, the actual number should be less than two thousand.ಥ_ಥ）
