Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Peroz didn't say anything, but just slowly walked towards the door.

Amadeus originally thought that Peroz would choose to return to Hespel's home to end everything, but she walked towards the library in the city.

Soon, she reached the open space in front of the cage where she had fought the clowns before.

"This place? I don't quite understand it." Amadeus asked curiously.

"There's no particular reason. I just think this is a suitable place for you to end up."

"My final destination?" Amadeus couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I have to admit, out of all the people I've met, you have the weakest strength. But you have a powerful mouth."

"Want to make this place my home?"

"You should first consider burying this child who died completely because of you."

The clown transformed from Hesper's body walked slowly in front of Peroz.

At this moment, he was holding the crossbow that Peroz had given him before, and a dagger coated with poison was hung on his waist. At the same time, the outlines of some other things could be seen under the clown suit.

"To show my appreciation for your drama, I'm giving this child some of the things I've plundered from your treasure chest."

"Kill him, and you can take some of the Horcruxes that once belonged to you from his hands to fight me."

"Or, you can choose to be killed by him?" His tone was full of mockery, as if he could already see that Peroz would not choose this path.

As soon as Amadeus finished speaking, Hesper raised the crossbow in his hand and shot at Peroz.

While dodging the opponent's attack, Peroz took out the pistol on his waist.

Her fingers curled slightly, and several times she could have shot Hesper dead with one shot.

But in the end she couldn't bear to do it.

Looking at Peroz, whose face was constantly showing a struggle and whose body was constantly covered with wounds because he could not dodge in time, Amadeus showed a hideous smile on his face.

That's right...

That's it.

Struggle.

The more you struggle, the more painful it is, the more excited I will be when you finally make a choice.

Peroz's eyes swept over Amadeus' cheek, looking at the expression on the other's face. Her eyes and her face still showed pain.

But wisps of cold murderous intent were constantly brewing.

teacher...

Wake up soon..

Only when you wake up can the plan be implemented smoothly.

"Is your mouth the only thing you're good at?"

"It's just a kid I've known for a week."

"Kill him. As long as you kill him, you will have the chance to take revenge on me."

"There's even a chance to gain unparalleled power."

Amadeus' voice was like the devil's temptation, but it had no effect on Peroz.

She knew clearly what she should do now.

time.

All you have to do is keep dragging out the time.

Just wait until the teacher wakes up.

"I'm different from you." Peroz whispered as he dodged Hesper, who had thrown away the crossbow arrow after shooting it and was rushing towards him with a dagger in his hand.

"For me, there are many things more important than so-called power and freedom."

"Amadeus... I originally thought that as a demigod you had your own beliefs, but now it seems you are nothing more than a complete lunatic."

Facing Peroz's ridicule, Amadeus' expression remained unchanged. He simply said calmly, "I really envy you. You haven't experienced this kind of prisoner-like life, so naturally you can say such naive words."

"Ten thousand years? Or even longer. Living alone without any power, unable to communicate with the outside world, is enough to drive anyone crazy."

"If you had experienced my despair, you wouldn't be so naive."

Peroz's hand tightly grasped Hesper's wrist to prevent him from stabbing the poisoned dagger in his hand into his body.

"Originally this wasn't a hopeless city. It was you who chose to make it hopeless."

"He treats everyone as puppets and claims to be a god above all others."

"But are you really completely crazy?"

"Hesper said that he heard a lot about the outside world from an uncle, and also learned a lot from that uncle."

"That person is you, right?"

There won't be anyone else.

After all, in the context here, his plan has come to an end, and he no longer needs more people to be "alive".

The only person Hesper had come into contact with since he was a child was Amadeus.

"It's ironic. You taught him kindness and gentleness, but you yourself can't even begin to match his kindness."

Amadeus's expression changed and became gloomy.

"Originally, I wanted to let you live a little longer, but now..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a magic bomb appeared in Hesper's hand.

Peroz rushed forward and kicked the magic bomb in his hand to the side of Amadeus. Then he snatched the dagger from Hespur's hand and stabbed it fiercely at Hespur's chest.

But when her dagger was about to land on his chest, the clown mask on his face suddenly disappeared, revealing his squeezed facial features and his painful expression.

"Sister Peroz...it hurts so much..." Hesper cried out in pain.

"Don't be afraid...it won't hurt soon." He knew that the person in front of him was dead.

Even though he knew the person making that sound wasn't the real Hesper, Peroz's hands still began to tremble.

Just gently push the dagger in your hand forward.

This would end his real pain at this moment. Obviously, this was the best choice, but Peroz couldn't do it no matter what.

"Sister Peroz..." Looking at Peroz who was holding the dagger against his neck, and seeing her red eyes, Hesper's empty eyes suddenly flashed with a glint of light.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, suddenly grabbed Perozzi's hands and took the dagger from her hands.

"I've...caused you trouble again..." After saying this, Hesper suddenly revealed a bright smile. "Although I've always wanted to be the sun, I've never seen the real sun."

"I hope my sister can take a good look at it for me..."

The dagger was not aimed at Peroz, but instead at his chest.

"What?!" Amadeus's expression suddenly changed after he deflected the magic bomb.

In the tens of thousands of years that he could remember, no one had ever been able to act on their own after being controlled by a clown mask.

but now...

Blood flowed from his chest, and then Hesper's body staggered and fell straight to the ground.

The tears that he had been holding back finally fell from the corners of Peroz's eyes.

She gritted her teeth and then gave a wan smile.

"Sister will definitely take a good look at the sun that brings hope to the world on your behalf."

"Teacher...it's time for you to wake up."

While shouting this, Peroz took a few steps back.

Ripples appeared in front of Amadeus's eyes, and then Hogot, who he thought was dead long ago, appeared in front of him.

"I was originally planning to launch a sneak attack on him. It seems you have any new plan?" Hogot appeared and asked Perozzi as he approached her.

Peroz nodded, then raised his arm, and a black bracelet flashed before Hogot's eyes.

This is...

"Meet at Bishan!" Peroz shouted.

A complicated look flashed in Hogot's eyes.

"Yes, let's meet up at Bishan."

This was the most precious Horcrux in the treasure bag Hogot had given to Peroz. It was a precious treasure that he had spent a long time making.

He kept telling Perozzi that everything in the treasure bag he gave her was in his own treasure bag.

In reality, this item is missing.

A precious item that, once charged in advance, can penetrate space and break through most constraints at the master's thought.

When returning from Pallasti, Hogot finally chose to give the treasure bag containing this precious item to Peroz because of Peroz's choice. He took the treasure bag without this life-saving item.

"Mr. Rawdon, I'm coming to see you."

"Looks like you're going to buy me a drink this time."

"Peroz, you must become a world-renowned explorer like your father. That way, I can be praised as your teacher and be remembered by the world."

As he thought about this, Hogot's expression became more relieved.

Then he also imitated Peroz and put his hands on his head, pulled out a strand of black hair and smiled at her.

This treasure has no fixed form. In Hogot's hands, it was transformed into hair, while in Peroz's hands, it was transformed into a bracelet.

Peroz didn't notice the determination in Hogot's eyes. She waved her hand, and in the face of Amadeus's disbelief, an item from Peroz's treasure bag that he had taken away flew into Peroz's hand.

"Perhaps I haven't told you that this kettle containing explosives that can blow this city up into the sky was made for me by my husband."

"It will never be taken away from me by anyone. It will always obey only me and his orders."

Amadeus understood Peroz's choice in an instant.

She wanted to use the properties of the explosives in the kettle to send the city into the sky in an instant.

In this way, all the efforts I have accumulated, the blood, and the sacrifices used to complete the ritual will all be lost! "I absolutely cannot bear to see you ruin my plan!" A mad look appeared on Amadeus's face.

In an instant, nearly a hundred Horcruxes, either attacking or defending, were activated.

"It's useless... It's not just the explosives inside that will explode, the power he left on the kettle will also be triggered." Peroz sighed softly, and then disappeared in front of Amadeus when the attacks were about to fall on him.

A crimson mushroom cloud exploded in the Lost City, and all the clowns and Amadeus in the city were taken away by the explosion.

only...

Where is the teacher?

Looking at the empty figure beside him, Peroz looked a little unbelievable.

Why didn't Mr. Hogot come?

Did something unexpected happen?

Just when Peroz was extremely anxious, a weak voice came from his body.

"Ms. Krolov...can you come here for a moment?" It was the voice of the Holy Gate.

Thinking of the missing Hogot, Peroz nodded and ran quickly towards the location of the Holy Gate.

When she ran to the location of the Holy Gate, a burnt-looking Hogot and Hesper fell in front of the Holy Gate.

At the same time, the condition of the Holy Gate was also very bad. The originally solid stone gate was stained with traces of countless explosions. There were even many broken cracks on the door, and it looked as if it might break at any time.

"I saw... I saw that Mr. Hoggart didn't seem to have anything that could take you away... I saw that this little guy could still be saved..."

"So there is no way I can just sit back and watch this kind of thing..." said the Holy Gate very "weakly".

"I'm sorry...Mistress, I lied to you."

"There's one way to leave here... I haven't told you yet..."

"As long as I want... I can use my power... to open the barrier here..."

"Hahaha... I came here to steal power... How could I be so stupid as not to leave a way out for myself..."
