Chapter 775 Tenacious Until the End
Hecate took a moment before she understood the reason for Vaan's feeling of regret and loss. She couldn't help but feel amused by it.TheÌ source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
She didn't expect Vaan to care about treasures when his life was on the line.
"Would this suffice? It has 10,000 drops of Abaddon's divine blood," Hecate retrieved Abaddon's left arm from her interspatial ring and offered it to Vaan.
Vaan was immediately surprised by the generous offer.
"You're willing to gift this to me?" Vaan asked.
"If you honor your end of the deal, this thing will be of little value compared to what I will gain in the future," Hecate calmly stated.
"Thank you, Lady Hecate," Vaan accepted the gift, seeing no reason to reject it.
After giving after Abaddon's left arm, Hecate nodded before glancing around at the ruined space region with steadily growing dimensional cracks.
"We should leave this space region, Sir Vaan. With this many fractures and cracks, it will become unpredictable and dangerous if we linger."
"Please wait, Lady Hecate."
Hecate's suggestion to leave was quickly met with objection.
Within moments, her gaze promptly turned sharp and serious when she followed Vaan's line of sight.
Inside the dimensional crack of endless nothingness, the banished Blood Devil Abaddon had been eroded down to a tenth of his divine soul. All of his flesh, blood, bones, and most of his soul have been washed away by the power of nihility.
However, this last fragment of his divine soul stubbornly persisted, refusing to disappear with the rest.
Not only did the nihilistic power of nothingness fail to erase it from existence, but it even seemed to be tempering Abaddon's divine soul fragment.
Seconds quickly passed, and Abaddon's divine soul fragment seemed to have grown a bitâor rather, it recovered a bit of divine soul.
"You're kidding me... This thing can even survive and thrive inside the endless sea of nothingness? It is truly tenacious," Hecate uttered with a solemn frown.
As Blood Devil Abaddon's divine soul fragment tried to return to their dimension for a full recovery, Vaan conjured divinity-burning grey flamesâa fusion of the Fire Law and Nihility Law.
After condensing the grey flaming spear, he immediately hurled it at Blood Devil Abaddon's remaining divine soul.
Naturally, Blood Devil Abaddon did not stand a chance in such a weakened state. The divinity-burning grey flames slowly obliterated him, erasing his remaining divine soul from existence.
Blood Devil Abaddon's remnant divine soul writhed in pain as it desperately clung to life.
However, it couldn't stop itself from gradually disintegrating into nothingness. Even so, it was tenacious until the end actually came.
Only after all traces of Abaddon's existence completely disappeared did Vaan finally confirm his death.
"It's finally over," Vaan softly uttered with 5% soul force remaining.
With this much soul force left, he could only maintain his basic life support in the cruel environment of the boundless void.
Although he seemed perfectly fine on the surface, he was undoubtedly in his weakest state yet.
Under this circumstance, if Hecate suddenly decided to stab him in the back, there was nothing Vaan could do to fight back. He could only helplessly accept the outcome.
Hecate glanced at Vaan's defenseless back and noticed its subtle feebleness.
"Kukuku, you must have exhausted everything to survive until now and deliver that final blow," Hecate suddenly chuckled and asked casually, "Aren't you afraid I would backstab you now, Sir Vaan? Can you really trust me, a Great Devil?"
Vaan slowly turned about with a calm smile and said, "If I couldn't trust you, I wouldn't have made a deal with you. And since I decided to trust you, I will trust you fully, Lady Hecate."
"My, you certainly have a way with words, Sir Vaan. You almost charmed me," Hecate said jokingly with a light giggle before suggesting, "Shall we head back now?"
Vaan glanced in the direction of the asteroid field region for a moment. Since he was already here, he might as well explore it after recovering some soul force.
"Can I trouble you to return and stabilize the situation back there first, Lady Hecate?" Vaan requested.
"That's fine with me," Hecate calmly nodded before glancing at him curiously. "But what will you do, Sir Vaan?"
