Chapter 159
Oath of Allegiance
‘Umm.’
When I opened my eyes, I saw a new space.
A hazy environment, just like when I used Memory Recreation.
In that place, two spirits were looking at me with warm eyes.
Thud!
First, Bone Four, in his younger form, slammed his shield down.
“So, it was you. You were the one who resolved my lifelong resentment.”
He wasn’t the immature version I had seen before.
Unlike his current youthful appearance.
He exuded an aura similar to the elderly Kaden I had seen in my memories.
“Yes, you erased the blood that flowed like a river because of me, the corpses that piled up like mountains… that terrible memory… Ah, thanks to your Skeleton army, we were able to find a peace that satisfied everyone with minimal sacrifice.”
He murmured earnestly.
Then, as if he had made up his mind.
“I, Kaden…”
Slowly, he knelt down.
Thud.
As soon as his knees touched the ground, he lowered his head.
Defense Master.
A formidable being rumored to be able to block even a dragon’s breath.
The knees of the hero who dared to build a force and spread his ideology before the mighty Thousand-Year Empire were indeed heavy.
“I promise to devote my life to the benefactor who melted the knot in my heart before I died.”
Thud!
His shield was raised and slammed down once more.
Hoo.
I wondered why Bone Four always made such gestures.
So, it was Kaden’s habit?
“My shield will protect the benefactor forever… and even if my body turns to dust, my desire to protect you will not change.”
[Defense Master ‘Kaden’ acknowledges you as his true master.]
