RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 45: THE FINAL STRUGGLE

Lars felt his body fall to the ground without being able to move at all, the bullet fired by Libra was really not a normal bullet.

Looking at the fallen Lars, Libra lowered the firearm in his hand while smiling "Eat the child, lest it fail again this time".

After that Libra turned around to return to the mine, the longer he was here the more likely it would be that Myro would return to the sect. Therefore, he had to return to the sect as quickly as possible before Myro came, he said, as long as Myro gets here then there will be no more chance for him to escape because he cannot fight many zodiac spirits alone.

Lars felt his eyes getting faded, everything he looked at in front of him slowly disappearing and darkness filled his entire eyes.

...----------------...

In Gott's world, Lars has finished his revenge whether it's his revenge on Fred, Teres or the people who killed his entire family.

Despite that, Lars did not feel happy after killing everyone smiling.

When Lars's grudge is over, he stands in the middle of the corpses of those who killed his family.

Lars' entire body was filled with blood, be it armor or his sword was already completely red.

Lars stared at the sky so blankly, no one knew what he was thinking.

"What's wrong? Don't you feel happy to have your revenge? Wasn't this your goal from long ago that it made you sell everything to me? Now that your goal is done, why don't you look happy?" said Myro who came beside him smiling indifferently, Myro decides to accompany Lars in revenge because Myro knows that Lars will definitely become like that.

"Sir, everything is very different from what I thought. At first I thought that as long as I finished getting my revenge, I would feel happy and free from all this burden in my heart. But in fact, the burden on my body has indeed disappeared, on the other hand I also feel empty. It was as if this freedom from vengeance made me lose my purpose in life" Lars said, staring at the sky from his voice, and one could hear sadness and confusion.

Myro shook his head before turning around to give Lars time alone "You feel empty because you're alone now. Your family, your fiancee, everything is dead! Once vengeance was your goal to survive, now all that excuse is gone! But losing your purpose doesn't mean you don't have to live anymore, just stay alive to find a new purpose. If you have confusion or loss of direction, you can depend on me. Maybe I am your master, but in this world then only I can be considered as family because I am the closest person to you right now, I don't mind thinking of you as my family either".

Without waiting any longer, Myro walked away. Lars now needs the most time to be alone.

"Family?" said Lars opening his eyes wide, he felt it would not hurt to seek a new purpose in life.

Although Myro's words could not close all the emptiness in him, Lars at least still had a reason to stay alive.

Since that time, Myro always gave a lot of tasks to Lars so that the emptiness in him was soon forgotten.

During this time they also became closer, even Lars had already considered Myro as his own brother. Myro always looks cold and uncaring, but Lars knows very clearly that Myro is actually a good person who cares for the people around him, even though Myro hates traitors a lot.

With Myro's help, Lars slowly steps forward from the emptiness on her, helping Myro to the top of the world is her new goal of life that closes all emptiness on her.

...----------------...

Tears fell from Lars eyes, but the giant worm did not care at all for Lars' grief, he only cared about Lars being his food today.

When Lars was one step away from the mouth of the giant worm, the angelic spirit that joined him slowly began to break free.

The angelic white wing behind Lars' body disappeared, replaced by an angelic figure that was Lars' spirit.

Without wasting any more time, the angel hugged Lars body before flying back, the one who was injured was Lars and not himself. So this angel spirit can still fly.

Realizing that he was flying again, Lars was shocked. But he immediately stared at the figure of the angel spirit that began to disappear into this shard of light, even the body of the angel became very faded "Rapel, why? If you continue to help me like this, your figure will disappear even faster!".

The angel named Rapel smiled "Master, we spirits are destined to die with their master. Therefore, you will soon be dead then I will also be dead. Maybe I would have died sooner if I had used my strength to bring master flying away from this mine, but at least I could have been a little useful! Sir, if the 2nd life truly exists, I will gladly become the master spirit again! I Rapel will definitely make master meet master Myro before dying so that master does not leave any regrets in this world!".

"Rapel, you're a great spirit! If there really was a 2nd life, I would definitely not refuse you to be my spirit anymore" said Lars who did not refuse Rapel's help at all.

As long as Rapel helped him, Rapel would have died before Lars, but Rapel had already made his decision so Lars would not stop him. Not to mention Rapel did this to fulfill Lars's goal before dying, which was to say goodbye to Myro.

"Graaaaa!", the giant worm monster was furious towards Lars who flew back away, the problem was that this worm could do absolutely nothing to stop him.

"Stupid worm! You still let the boy escape!", said the angry Libra, shooting his rifle back at Rapel.

"Booooom!".

The bullet Libra wears is a bullet that can explode, Rapel was hit by a partial explosion in his right wing, but he still gnashed his teeth and continued to fly, they finally managed to fly away from this mine.

Seeing Lars who still managed to leave even though he was still going to die, Libra's face became gloomy because as a zodiac spirit then he let the enemy escape, this is very embarrassing.

"The boy was lucky, but in the end he would still die as well! At most the child can live for a few more minutes, it is better that I leave now before Mr. Myro comes" said Libra who decided to escape as quickly as possible.

...----------------...

Lars finally managed to look back at the Zodiac Sect, at least in the moments before his death then Lars could still see the sect that was already like his home.

"Master, I went first-" said Rapel who instantly stopped as his body had completely disappeared, Rapel used his last strength to fly as fast as possible so as not to be shot by Libra.

With Rapel gone, Lars' body falls to the ground. Fortunately Rapel had not flown too high before so Lars was not too hurt by this fall.

Lars who was lying on the ground looked at the blue sky in front of him, a smile appeared on Lars face "At least I can die under the blue sky of the Zodiac Sect, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, a smile appears on Lars face "At least I can die under the blue sky of the Zodiac Sect, better than dying in a cold, dark mine".
