Lord Shadow

Chapter 1499 Death Of A Hero

On the south side, there is Wang Jan and Nehanda Nuhurai battle

There are also many people watching this battle. Wang Jian is the Southern Suppressing General of Pandemonium.

And his name is famous all over the world as one of the top generals that master military formation to the peak.

Even though he is a Disk Formation leveler, if you gave him an army, he is confident to even halt the advance of Divine Comprehension leveler.

That is how powerful he is in commanding soldiers and forming military arrays. Now, however that famous general is in such pathetic condition.

His powerful aura had diminished and there is fire all over his body that could not be extinguished. This fire keeps eating his flesh but as the fire tries to penetrate his flesh, the skin would regenerate back. Such pain would be unbearable to many people but Wang Jiang seem to simply shrugged it off.

He is standing there simply relying on his black staff to hold him steady. His hand is trembling and golden blood drops off from his wound.

His armor broke in many parts and it tries to regenerate itself using the power of the world but the destructive power that break this armor is not so easy to dissolve.

Standing weakly not far away from Wang Jian is also another person in a terrible condition. It is Nehanda Nunurai

But unlike Wang Jian, he is only having a few breaths now. And then before he could do anything he falls down to the ground.

Every breath he takes seem labored and hard. Wang Jian look at this person and sighed

No pills could help him when it is this bad.

That man has wounds all over his body, his injury is hard to look at, and he is about to die.

But there is a smile on his face, a seemingly kind of arrogant pride that could not be concealed.

Everyone around the world look at this with mixed feelings.

Not many people know who Nehanda Nunurai is but he is a very powerful figure in the African Alliance.

The world doesnʼt know him but for the people of Africa, they know this man and know his power.

Second only to Kairu, the representative of the African Alliance in many of its overseas ventures, Nehanda Nunurai has his own powerbase in the African continent

This is a large figure in the world.

Even though the things he did is not always universally accepted, he did the best for his people.

He looks at Wang Jian and they simply look at each other. Wang Jian nodded. And he closes his eyes

There doesnʼt seem to be a need to talk. Wang Jian understood and he understood. He closes his eyes and then he took his last breath and the world mourns him

A hero of a generation dies. He had many enemies in his life and there are people that hate him and there are people that love him

Regardless of what people think of him, today, seeing the battle that he fought, one must admit he has the quality of a great hero.

Before the Fall, when people think of heroes, they think of a person who follow the rules and fight for justice

It is a simplistic image of a hero. But after the Fall, the standard of a hero is not like this. Nehanda Nunurai is not a person that plays by the rules.

Instead, he broke many rules to get to where he is now. Most of the things he did are not morally right and some bordered-on evil

But he is a person who is courageous and knew when to fight and when to retreat, fearlessly and unceasingly, a hero born out of a chaotic era

He rose from the ashes of a brave new world and rise to the top. How many bones under his feet, how much blood he had shed to get to where he is now?

A hero. That is who he is regardless of what he did.

In life and in death.

ʼWhat a man!ʼ

ʼA true hero!ʼ

ʼA good death!ʼ

All over the world such words are uttered. Those who watched this battle could not help but think of such a thing

In his fight, he had his eyes gouged out in the first few minutes of the conformation. Then his hand got cut by a cutting motion.

Even then he kept fighting.

A punch took half his jaw and another kick, directly pulverize his right part of his stomach.

And then in the final attack, he got his heart ripped off.

His heart was the crushed in front of his eyes and even when that happens to him, he still did not stop fighting.

Golden blood could be seen trialing all over the area of the battle site

And he died smiling.

ʼHuh; Wang Jian close his eyes for a second before looking at Nehanda again

And seeing such a hero dies…. how could his heart could feel at ease?

But the only thing he could do is sigh.

After all, his condition is not that good either

Nehanda Nunurai is dead. But Wang Jian is still alive

One death does not mean the war is over. He looks at Nehanda bodies for a few second before he turns to look at the enemy

There is no anger in his eyes. Only acceptance. But under that acceptance, one could feel his killing intent rising up.

Wang Jian look at that woman ten feet away from him.

The distance between them seems far but both of them know, one step is the only step they need to draw close to each other

A ten feet distance is but merely an inch of distance if they wanted it to be.

This woman stands an imposing height

Her large chest I dirtied by ichor blood. But that blood is not hers. She is ten feet in height and the height difference make Wang Jian appears like a dwarf in front of her

Around her, there is space rifts and gust of wind surging to the sky that slowly fizzled out. That is the effect of the battle that had just ended, lingering there even after those who fight it are dead

Yes, there is only one woman in the world that have such height and possessed such great physical power that it cracks the space around her just by standing there

This woman is none other than Pirate Lord Mary

She has injuries all over her body. Her clothes are ripped in many parts. Her blood is golden and it drips.

But even though she is injured, she is not injured like Wang Jian did nor she is injured like Nehanda.

She still standing. And power still radiated from her.

The wind blows and both of these people have their body caressed by the wind. It is like a fresh breeze that came out of nowhere.

Tak!

Tak!

Wang Jian walk toward Nehanda body and without caring whether Mary would attack him or not, put him over his shoulders and he walk away.

Mary did not say anything and she did not pursue him either. She just stands there and then as Wang Jian retreated far away from him; she kneels to the ground.

Then she coughed up blood.

ʼI win the battle but lost the warʼ she muttered to herself, to slow to be heard for those who are watching this battle.

Everyone watching this battle could not understand.

They do not understand what Wang Jian is doing. And they also do not understand the Pirate Lord decision.

Before, Wang Jian seem so crazy to make sure that Mary would be killed by him that he did not mind suffering any injuries, having the kind of determination to die with the enemy

but now suddenly after the death of Nehanda, he simply walks away?

And what about the Pirate Lord? That is the perfect moment to attack Wang Jian.

Even though it seems that the pirate lord also has her own hidden injuries, everyone with eyes could tell that between the heavily injured Wan Jian and the pirate lord Mary, Pirate lord Mary holds the advantage.

It is not every day you could inflict this much damage to one of the three great generals of Pandemonium.

If Wang Jian is with his army, Mary probably would not be able to achieve this kind of result

They could not understand this

But some people understand.

Wang Jian is walking alongside a burning forest.

The fire on his body slowly dissipated but the injuries still plague him.

But just like before he simply shrugged it off, not even a whimper of pain escapes his lips.

Golden blood drips on his schedulers and his armor but he simply ignores it

ʼNehanda, you have stopped himʼ

Wang Jian did not cry nor is he that sad. Nehanda Nunurai is not his friends and it is not someone he is close to. But today, fighting alongside him, Wang Jian had that feeling of appreciation towards a fellow warrior.

Nehanda dies today but eh achieved their objective. Wang Jian and Nehanda wanted to kill Pirate Lord Mary.

But that is not their objective

That is their desire.

Their objective is simply to neutralize the threat.

And that is what Nehanda did.
