Sutherland's voice was heavy and sad: "Todd, you let me down."

The dragon-shaped Todd shook his wings and flew over the magma. He looked directly at Sutherland and said: "Thousands of years ago, when the temples of the gods fell apart, the first thing you thought of was hiding; thousands of years ago. Years later, when the alien species suffers in the world, your ultimate choice is still to escape."

　　 "Thousands of years have passed, don't you have a trace of courage left in your heart?"

　　 Sutherland: "You will never understand the price you have to pay for staying."

Todd's voice is getting louder and louder: "If the flood comes, then we will dig ditches instead of building ships to escape and abandon our homes; if the sun is violent, then we will shoot down the sun instead of hiding in a crypt and lingering! "

　　 "Cowardice cannot be synonymous with wisdom, not to mention that your cowardice has brought disaster to the entire world!"

　　 An angry Sutherland waved his limbs, cut open the lava, and shouted: "Optimism and arrogance can't save your people!"

　　 Todd flapped his dragon wings: "Dignity and freedom are achieved by fighting for, not picked up on the way to escape!"

　　 Two pairs of huge and sharp limbs on Sutherland's chest, stretched out with full strength, are more than twenty meters in length.

　　 I saw them swiftly cut to the front, cutting on the rock wall, leaving two huge X-shaped traces.

　　 Todd, who was able to evade this attack, increased his flying speed to the limit, only to see him bypassing Sutherland's attack range and directly to the back of Sutherland.

　　 turned the dragon's mouth towards the rock wall directly above Sutherland, and a huge fireball spewed out and hit the top of the cave.

　　 Along with the explosion and shaking, large tracts of rock wall peeled off and hit Sutherland's body, smashing him into the magma.

　　 The moment Sutherland leaned forward, Todd stretched out his dragon claws, unfolded the dragon wings, swooped down quickly, aimed at the compound eye on the top of the former's head, and slammed it down.

　　 There was a sharp and harsh rubbing sound, and Todd's dragon claws left several obvious scars on the top of Sutherland's head, and two compound eyes were also ruptured by the claws.

　　 The huge worm body attached to Sutherland's soul uttered a deafening roar after being attacked.

　　 twisted his body backwards, the limbs of Sutherland's body, like a huge sickle, slashed towards Todd quickly.

　　 Todd, trying to control the direction of flight, protruded from the left to the right among the huge sharp limbs, and rock fragments were flying in the sky.

　　 Just when he saw that he was about to fly to safety, several parasite tentacles wrapped Todd's dragon wings, pulling him down in the direction of the magma.

　　 Facing the dragon bound by the tentacles, Sutherland quickly launched the third round of attacks. He stood up from the magma, and hundreds of sharp limbs rushed to Todd again.

　　 Todd, who was entangled in the tentacles of the parasite, was inevitable at this time, and was about to be pierced.

　　 A black figure, like lightning, rushed to the middle of the two.

　　 I saw this black figure, at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, it first cut open the tentacles that bound Todd, and then knocked the latter out of Sutherland's attack range.

　　 After adjusting his posture in the air and maintaining his balance, Todd turned his head to look in the direction of the dark shadow.

　　 huge black wings grew behind, Meredith stopped fearlessly in front of Sutherland, preventing the latter from attacking.

　　 "Meredith! Don't block my way!" Sutherland's angry voice spread throughout the cave: "I said, this is between me and him!"

　　 Facing the huge and terrifying monster in front of her, Meredith opened her arms and said softly, "Father, stop."

　　 Sutherland shook his body, lava tossed under him, just listening to him say: "You don't understand... You don't understand what he means to the alien species."

　　 Meredith shook his head and said: "You can't force Todd to complete your task, not to mention, he still has the responsibility of the king."

　　 Sutherland just wanted to talk, the distortion from inside his body made his soul start to tremble.

　　 "No, **** it, don't do it at this time...give me some more time."

　　 On the surface of Sutherland's body, countless necrotic parasites are spreading like a plague.

　　The painful stimulus, coupled with the prolonged battle, made the necromantic will within the worm begin to accelerate its expansion.

　　 Sutherland was faintly aware that her body was no longer under control.

　　 Sutherland stopped all movements, and while using the power of the soul to suppress the will of the dead in the body, while shouting at the aliens on the platform who had not yet entered the portal: "Go! Get out of here!"

　　 Meredith, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, flapped her wings and slowly approached Sutherland, and said, "Father, what's the matter with you?"

　　 Sutherland stepped back a bit, and his huge body hit the rock wall with a loud bang: "I can... I can feel that the dead spirits in the body have gradually lost control."

　　 Meredith yelled anxiously: "Father, you must leave this body!"

　　 Sutherland glanced at the fewer and fewer alien species in front of the portal, and said, "I must hold on for a while... Meredith, my daughter, do you remember what I said to you before?"

　　 Meredith was surprised.

　　 Sutherland: "When all the alien species have entered the portal, I will arrange my ontology on the surface of this body... What you have to do is to do everything possible to destroy my ontology."

　　 Meredith: "No..."

　　 Sutherland: "My daughter, that will only kill my body, but my soul will be liberated."

　　 Todd flew over and said to Sutherland: "As you told me before, you and I are both rebirths. When the body dies, the soul will enter the next cycle and start again."

　　 Sutherland: "Yes, my life has come to an end, but this only represents the next journey, which will begin soon."

　　 Todd: "I've seen the souls of your wife and children in your soul space. What will happen to them?"

　　 Sutherland: "With the death of my body, their souls will follow me into rebirth. This is the greatest use of soul space powers for us reborn people."

　　 After saying these words, Sutherland's worm body bulged upward, and at the position of the front abdomen, a bulge became larger and clearer.

　　 A face that looked like a human face was covered by a film, slowly appearing under the carapace of the worm's body.

　　 Along with the closing of the face and mouth, Sutherland's faint voice reached Todd's ears.

　　 "Perhaps my daughter is right. It is my duty to take care of these alien species. I shouldn't impose these responsibilities on you."

　　 Todd looked at the face under the worm's case and asked in a low voice, "If you die, what will happen to this body?"

　　 Sutherland: "It will be completely taken over by the necromancer, and it will become a monster with no intelligence and completeness... However, in the end, such a monster will not escape the end of destruction in the end."

　　 Todd did not speak any more, just closed his eyes and sighed.

　　 Sutherland turned her face to Meredith and said, "My daughter, listen carefully to what I say next. After killing me, immediately enter the portal and leave this world."

　　 Meredith looked at her hands and muttered, "I can't do it."

　　 Sutherland: "You can do it... just as we said before, then everything will be soon..."

　　 Meredith flew in front of Sutherland, found the spear that Evie had pierced into the carapace of the insect body, and pulled it out forcefully.

　　 The necrotic parasite followed the carapace and slowly crawled around Sutherland's body, getting closer and closer to his face.

　　 Meredith raised his spear and looked at Sutherland, crystal clear tears gathered in her eyes.

　　 "Goodbye, father."

　　 The spear pierced the Sutherland's body under the worm body membrane. With the harsh screams and violent shaking, the huge worm body struggled and twisted, smashing the surrounding rocks.

　　 Todd waved his dragon's wings, and kept avoiding the twisted worms and splashing stones. From the corner of his eyes, he found that Meredith was kneeling beside Sutherland's body and had not moved a step.

　　 Todd shouted loudly: "Meredith!"

　　 Hearing her name, Meredith slowly raised her head and looked at Todd's expression with a bit of grief and relief.

　　 Seeing the huge worm slowly sliding down to the magma sea~lightnovelpub.net~ Todd shouted at Meredith again: "Merdys! Get out of there!"

　　 Large drops of tears slid down her cheeks, but Meredith gave Todd a beautiful smile: "Sorry, I can't go."

　　 Todd avoided the flying limbs and tentacles, and shouted to Meredith, "You still have a long way to go!"

　　 Meredith shook his head: "The longest journey, the end will always be home."

　　 Looking at the figure of the dragon in the sky, Meredith slowly closed his eyes, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "If... If I can meet you sooner..."

　　 The huge worm body fell into the magma sea, and the raging fire wave swallowed everything in an instant.

　　……

　　 In that quiet and peaceful vineyard, a girl wearing a white gauze skirt, facing the gentle breeze and bright sunshine, ran happily on the path of Tianlong.

　　 The younger brother and younger sister chased after her, the crisp and sweet laughter echoed in the air like silver bells, not dissipating for a long time.

　　 At the gate of the manor, the mother holding the fruit plate shouted the children's names.

　　 The girl ran up the hill, walked through the gate, hugged her mother's waist, closed her eyes and enjoyed comforting herself.

　　 In the manor, the father who was repairing the fountain statue, saw the girl's figure, laughed and dropped the tool in his hand, and opened his arms.

　　 Father only said a single sentence, but the girl’s tears burst into her eyes instantly.

"Welcome home."
