Chapter 42: The Vengeful Spirit Knight Hallef (Part 1)

  Kelly's words echoed in Chu Rui's ears and reached his heart, shaking him.

  A person who turns love into hatred, degenerates and becomes a demon, only to win back their own love or forget their own love. But in the end, they harm the one they love.

  A tragedy without discount!

  To be honest, Chu Rui somewhat admired that Halef. Daring to love and hate, this is a real man! However, admiring his temperament and character was one thing, but as for his methods, he didn't dare to agree with them.

  For his own love, he might as well abandon himself, perhaps numb to himself. But he has harmed so many innocent people.

  Halef's love died, and he also pulled down his loved ones, best companions, and many innocent people to bury with him.

  Halef's behavior reminded Chu Rui of one person - Cao Cao!

  I'd rather owe the world than let the world owe me!

  A person who takes himself as the absolute center thinks that he is the greatest master. Such a person may really love Achlys, but absolutely not the most loving. What he loves most is himself.

  There must be payment for every benefit received, and responsibility for every action taken!

  Chu Rui has always believed in this sentence. No matter what, no matter what the reason is, if you've done something, you have to take responsibility for it. Hallef's actions not only hurt Kriss and Ronnie, but also the village chief and Uncle Blacksmith, as well as those innocent people who died and their families. Even with a million reasons, even if he was pitiful, what's done is done, and the consequences are an indisputable fact that can never be changed. According to what Hallef did, going to hell would be enough. But despite this, Kriss still wants to save his soul - should we say she's naive or kind?

  According to Kris, that Harlev was either dead or worse than dead. In that case, Chu Rui didn't want to say anything more. After all, this was just a game, although it felt very realistic and had a great impact, but in the end, it was just something made of virtual data. If it were in the real world, Chu Rui could have killed Harlev mercilessly, but not in the game. Nevertheless, as the final boss of the lost mine this time, Chu Rui would have to kill him no matter what, and there was no escape from that.

  Let's not worry about Halef for now, whether he was driven by love or hatred is fine, since he did what he did, he has to pay the price. There's no free lunch in this world, similarly, there's no action without responsibility. That's what Chu Rui thought.

  "So, where is Ronnie now?" Chu Rui asked after waiting for a moment for Chris's mood to recover.

  "Roni! He's with Hallef. They've been at each other's throats for so long, never letting up." Kriss said, choking back a sob.

  "Alright then, no time to waste, let's set off immediately." Chu Rui nodded after exchanging a glance with Ye Zifeng and the others, saying: "First check your backpacks, get ready!"

  After distributing the medicine, under Kriss's leadership, Chu Rui and his party slowly moved towards the deepest part of the cave.

  A dark and winding passageway, fortunately some of Kris's angelic heart illuminated it, otherwise it would be really hard to grope around.

  As I walked through the passageway, a very spacious and grand hall came into view. Although only a corner of it was visible, it looked very ancient. This place must have been either a palace or a magnificent temple in the past.

  "Halef, today I must kill you, you devil, go to hell!"

  Suddenly, a loud shout of madness echoed endlessly in this vast hall, shaking Chu Rui's eardrums numb.

  "Ronnie is Ronnie! They're going to fight again!"

  Upon hearing this voice, Christie's tears fell down like they didn't cost a thing.

  "Wait, you'd better not go up."

  He held back the anxious Chriss who wanted to rush up, and Chu Rui shook his head at her. What a joke, this Chriss is a sensitive character. Hallef did such a thing that made people and gods angry for her sake, and Ronnie became an alien because of her, fighting with Hallef until today. If she rushed over, I don't know what would happen. Moreover, Chu Rui had no precedent for women rushing in front of him.

  "It's up to us now!"

  Looking at the tearful Kris, Chu Rui gave her a firm gaze, and with his eyes, he hinted to Ye Zifeng, and then took out his dagger and moved forward towards the source of the sound.

  "Hmm..."

  Just as Chu Rui was able to see the two figures, suddenly, one figure was violently knocked flying by the other and heavily smashed onto the ground in front of Chu Rui.

  Ronnie!

  Looking at the name on top of this NPC's head, Chu Rui immediately knew who he was.

  "You can't beat me, Ronnie!" The other dark figure let out a vicious voice that was extremely cold and made people shiver. Needless to say, this bastard was Hallef without a doubt.

  "You damned bastard, you have the guts to kill me!" Ronnie, who was knocked to the ground, wiped the blood from his mouth and furiously shouted at Hallef.

  "Kill you? How could I? This cursed body of yours, neither human nor ghost, will forever wander the earth, never to be reborn. How wonderful it is, how delightful for me... Not enough, far from it. The grudge of taking Kriss away from me has only been avenged with this little pain, still far from enough. Fall, eternally roam in this ugly and filthy world! Haha..."

  His voice was cold, but very loud, inside which not only was the color of resentment and poison extremely strong, but also contained a kind of morbid or perverted frenzy, making people feel sick at first, then full of chill.

  "You devil, you will go to hell!" Ronnie's eyes were full of anger and murderous intent, fiercely cursing at Hallef.

  "Hell? Hahahaha..." Harlev's crazy laughter shook the entire palace.

  "From the day you and Chris were announced to be engaged, I had one foot in hell. From the moment Chris refused to walk with me, I was already in hell."

  Halef's gloomy words shut Roni up, his expression extremely painful. Kriss in the distance didn't know what was going on, but probably wasn't feeling much better either. For a childhood friend who grew up together, someone like an older brother, to end up like this today, and herself being the indirect culprit, not to mention kind-hearted Kriss, even someone with a heart of stone would likely be moved.
