Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 345: Emptiness



Ryan White walked toward the enemy he had been looking for the last three years. His bloodshot eyes kept looking at Roman and the middle-aged man, back and forth.

"You are still alive?" Roman asked in a surprised tone.

"You look surprised, my friend," Ryan White sneered.

"Indeed, it was a surprise that you survived my parasite!" Roman nodded his head. Aside from getting surprised that Ryan White was still alive, Roman still maintained his composure.

"It was my luck that I met a Master! But me being alive is the worst nightmare for you! I will not kill you, but I will slowly torture until you beg me to kill you!"

As Ryan White spoke, slowly hot air was discharged from his body. His skin also slowly turned red.

"Buahahahaha…!" Roman laughed aloud when heard the threat that came out of Ryan White's mouth. It was as if those words were a funny joke to him.

The middle-aged man next to him also smiled at Ryan White's words. None of them took that seriously.

"Did you forget where you got that bloodline? Did your head okay? Your power bestowed by me, do you think you can catch with that measly power of yours! I will show you the true bloodline of Divine Crow!"

Swoosh!

As Roman finished his words, a pillar of fire shot up from Roman's feet. The fire pillar completely engulfed Roman's body.

A few moments later, the fire pillar disappeared. Leaving a man engulfed in fire. Yes, Roman's body was engulfed in fire, it was as if his flesh changed into fire.

"This is the true form of Divine Crow Bloodline! Your power is a joke…." Roman could not finish his words as he was stunned by what he saw.

Ryan White was doing something he just did now, no, in fact, Ryan White's fire was more intense than his. Roman however remained unfazed.

"Ah, it seems you have been working pretty in the last three years! But it will not change anything!" Roman rushed forward to the standing still Ryan White.

It took him only a split second to reach Ryan White's position as his feet left a flame trail behind.

Roman threw a punch to Ryan White's chest. The latter received the punch with his palm.

Boom!

The crimson flame burst out and engulfed the two.

Not long after, a figure came out of the explosion. It was Ryan White, he was getting pushed back by the impact but he left unscathed.

Roman did not stop there. He shot up to the sky as a wing made of flame formed on his back. A wind that spanned up to ten meters.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The flame wings rained Ryan White with fireballs. Countless fireballs shot toward a single spot.

Ryan White merely looked up at Roman. Despite facing countless fireballs, Ryan White did not move or try to dodge the fireballs. He stayed on his spot as the fireballs rained him down.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Roman went on a rampage with his fire. Fire quickly spread out of the outer region.

"Are you stupid or what? Do you think the fire will work on me?" Ryan White looked up and questioned Roman.

Both had the same bloodline and the same power. Fire certainly would not work on both of them, especially since both had the same type of fire.

"I am starting to question myself as to how I got tricked by a stupid ass like you!" Ryan White sarcastically said to Roman who was still flying in the air.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man retreated from the battlefield and observed the battle from afar. From the current situation, it seemed Ryan White truly had become another person. He became someone that could not be looked down on anymore.

'I have to help Roman…'

The middle-aged felt Ryan White was holding a big advantage against Roman. For some reason, he detected Roman was unusually agitated.

"Then I will crush you with my fists!" Roman roared as his body shot down toward Ryan White.

Just like a meteor, Roman accelerated toward Ryan.

Boom!

A huge fire blasted as Roman fist met with Ryan White's punch.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Roman and Ryan White traded punch after punch. However, none of them showed a sign to back out. They kept punching at each other like a madman.

'Shit! Look at me, idiot! I can't help if you keep doing that!'

As the battle was prolonged, the middle-aged man became uneasy. He was sneaking around to launch a sneak attack on Ryan White. He had a sword covered in Dark Ki. The Dark Ki was so dense. If he managed to stab Ryan White with the sword in his hand, the Dark Ki would become poison to Ryan White.

He planned to poison Ryan White with Dark Ki. Tormenting Ryan in the worst possible way, but he did not have a chance to sneak attack Ryan White.

The battle between the two was too intense for him to sneak in.

"I don't want to use Shadow for a mere Ryan White!" The middle-aged man muttered in a low voice as he followed the trail of the battle.

'What's this? How could he be this strong in a mere three years! How could this be possible!' Roman gritted his teeth in agitation as he traded more blows against Ryan White.

"Arghhh!" Five districts in the outer region were razed because of the two. Their fire could not be stopped as they kept exchanging blows.

As for Ryan White, he observed Roman closely. At this moment, he was unexpectedly calm. He had been looking for Roman to avenge his family.

However, he did not know why when his enemy right in front of him, he felt empty. The raging emotion on the inside cooled down. It was weird but he felt that way.

After a few moments, Ryan White shook those thoughts and focused on his opponent.

"This is it? Aren't you too weak?" He kept provoking Roman.

"Then take this one!" Roman took a few steps back. He concretes his flame on his right arm before he dashed toward Ryan White again.

"Hah, let's end this now!" Ryan White shook his head.

Bwoosh!

All out of sudden, Ryan White's crimson flame turned bright yellow. It blazed intensely then Roman noticed something totally different than his flame.

Bzzzt! Bzzzt! Bzzzt!

He saw Ryan White's flame was mixed with lightning. At this moment, he realized the big gap between him and Ryan White. They were in a completely different realm.

However, Roman couldn't retract his fists at this moment. He was halfway to reach Ryan White.

Ryan White caught the punch with his left hand. This time, his lightning-fire completely suppressed Roman's fire.

"I told you, right? You will taste a hell?" 

Bwoosh!

Ryan White's right hand shot through Roman's chest.

At this moment, Roman's body was dangling in the air. He tried to break free from Ryan's grasp but to no avail.

Then, he felt something being sucked from his body. Roman's eyes that had turned into flame widened in shock as he could not believe what happened to him.

At the visible rate, Roman's flame started dimming out, losing its luster. Yes, Ryan White was absorbing Roman's bloodline, the Divine Crow's Ki was absorbed by Ryan White.

"ARGHHHH!!!! Release me! F*ck off!" Despite his cream, his body was immobilized. Roman could not even move his free feet.

Ryan White stared at the struggling Roman coldly. No emotion could be seen from his eyes as he absorbed Roman's Ki. During this time, Ryan White's flame started to get even stronger.

"Haha! This is my chance!" Suddenly, the middle-aged man appeared behind Ryan White.

He had been waiting for this moment. The moment to launch his sneak attack. He stabbed Ryan White on the back with a sword covered in Dark Ki.

Slurb!

The sword pierced through Ryan White's back to his chest.

"Kuhuhu… You are not going to have your way, young man!" The middle-aged man grinned at Ryan White.

As the middle-aged man thought his plan would work, he noticed something unbelievable. The lightning-flame started to prey on the Dark Ki.

"Since you deliver yourself to me, I will gladly accept it!"

Bwoosh!

The lightning-flame ate the Dark Ki away. In that instant, the flame also struck the middle-aged man.

"ARGHHHHH!!!" The middle-aged man screamed in agony as flames started to eat his body. He tried to release his grips on the sword but it was already too late.

The middle-aged man rolled down on the ground in pain. He tried to fight back with Dark Ki he had gathered in his body. However, the Divine Crow's flame was just too strong.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man entered his shadow. Ryan White thought he ran away with it, but then the middle-aged man popped out of the shadow a few meters from his original spot.

After that, the middle-aged man was just rolling around on the ground while his body was on fire. The fire ate his body until nothing left.

At the same time, Roman had lost his bloodline. He lost power and also lost his will to live.

"Kill me! Kill me now!" He begged Ryan White to be killed.

At this time, Ryan White looked at Roman. He had avenged his family but for some reason, he was not happy at all. He had achieved his goal but why did he feel empty.

After a while, he shook his head and picked the lifeless Roman. He planned to kill Roman in front of his family's tomb, presenting the blood to the dead.

Meanwhile, in the core region

Outside of the Sun Dome, an old man with a staff walked toward the entrance.

Tak! Tak! Tak!

Each of his steps made an uncomfortable noise. He stopped for a moment as he looked up, "Those stupid Wyernthropes just won't listen!"

"We don't need them anyway, let's finish this up quick! We haven't found the gate to God Horas' domain! That's more important than just killing a single man!" A rough voice came from a creature next to the old man.

The old man was the Leader of Reaper, Lord Reaper. He came himself to kill Heero. The plan was to use the Wyernthropes to face Heero's people while he and the leader of the Nightmare fought Heero.

"You did not change at all. You have to get rid of your impatience habit, Draco!" The old man glanced toward the creature called Draco.

Draco was the leader of the Nightmare. The only Draconian in Dramonia, a creature with a true dragon's blood in his vein.

His body was covered in black shiny scales, had a wing of a dragon, two big horns on the forehead, and ten meters long tails.

"You are not God Horas! Don't tell me what should I do, Old Man! Let's just kill this irritating human!"

Then, two figures entered the Sun Dome side by side. Their target was to kill Xing Heero.
