Absolute Choice 3

by Pear Lands In The Autumn Spring

  However, there was no other way.

  Bro, saving you would result in the collapse of the world, how can you be saved!?

  Shi Xiaobai looked up into the sky. At this moment, the sky had already turned half dark purple and half-gray. There were only two scarlet moons left, and all of this was a result of him pulling out the sword.

  After hesitating for a while, Mos flew towards the black broadsword. Although Shi Xiaobai had stuck it back into the ground, only the Heavens knew if he had done so firmly.

  Mos gripped the handle with both his hands and used his strength to tug at it, but the sword remained motionless.

  Good, it was very firm.

  Mos tried using his strength again, but the broadsword remained motionless.

  Mos clenched his teeth and used all his strength, but the sword remained immovable like a mountain.

  Mos stared and strained every muscle he had, and finally, the broadsword...still did not move.

  Mos heaved a sigh of relief. The corner of his mouth suffused a smile as he raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He turned to look at Shi Xiaobai before coldly saying "follow". With that, he ran forward again.

  Shi Xiaobai looked at Mos' back and was somewhat dumbfounded as his lips twitched.

  Fucking retard. This King promises he won't secretly return to pull the sword, alright? Was there a need to act so realistically in an attempt to deceive This King into thinking that the sword is very firmly in place?

  Would This King not know how easy it was to pull the sword out?

  Shi Xiaobai turned back to look at the black broadsword before he clenched his teeth to chase up to Mos.

  Chapter131 Are you kidding me

  After nearly ten minutes of traveling, Mos finally came to a stop. The way he looked at Shi Xiaobai was one of slight astonishment.

  This human was able to keep up with him for ten minutes at 50% of his speed without looking exhausted?

  In fact, Shi Xiaobai was slightly exhausted, but with "Unleaking Turtle Aura" sustaining him, he did not look tired. When Mos came to a stop, Shi Xiaobai had quietly heaved a sigh of relief. Even after he had managed to gain insights into conserving his Psionic Power after more than 2000 rounds of defeat in virtual competition, the amount of Psionic Power reserves he had was still lacking.

  Shi Xiaobai immediately realized that he had to "Cogitate" more in the future. Yes, it was to become stronger, and definitely not because the world of imagination in "Cogitation" was very fun.

  "Follow me."

  Mos' voice woke Shi Xiaobai up from his reverie. At this moment, they were in front of a high wall more than a dozen meters tall. The high wall had a steep flight of stairs that stretched to the top of the high wall.

  As Shi Xiaobai walked up the flight of steps, the view he could take in increased. When he arrived at the top, looking back, all he saw was vast black plains.

  However, when Shi Xiaobai looked on the opposite side of the high wall, he nearly popped his eyes out.

  He saw the high wall stretch out to form a gigantic square that was more than a dozen meters deep and a thousand meters wide. And at the bottom of the enclosure was a huge dragon lying prone on the ground!

  It was a large dragon of western origins. It was hundreds of meters long, and ten meters wide. Its entire body shimmered with a beautiful luster just like white jade. And on each side of its body, there a golden resplendent wing. At this moment, the dragon was lying on the ground as though it was sleeping.

  What made Shi Xiaobai the most surprised was that there was a series of skulls lining the boundary of the high wall. And these thousands of skulls shot out a red beam of light. From the four sides, it converged to one point!

  And that one point was the gigantic dragon's heart!

  Through the pair of golden wings and the jade-white body, a gigantic red heart was illuminated by the numerous beams of red light.

  The heart did not appear motionless, but it was slowly contracting before it slowly expanded, a movement that was none other than a heartbeat!

  At this moment, the gigantic dragon's heart was so slow that it seemed ridiculous. It only finished a contraction and expansion cycle after half a minute.

  This was the first time Shi Xiaobai saw a real western dragon. His eyes lit up as his breathing turned fiery.

  "Isn't this This King's mount, the Dragon of Supreme Command?"

  Shi Xiaobai grinned. He had previously created a gigantic dragon mount in his "Cogitation" world. It did not look much different from the gigantic white dragon.

  At this moment, a bugle was blown.

  Shi Xiaobai's pupils contracted as he saw a row of black-dressed people standing in the middle of the other three sides of the high wall. They were waving their hands in unison as fire plumes shot down from the high wall at the gigantic white giant!

  "Puah Puah Puah..."

  The flames would extinguish almost instantly after they landed on the gigantic dragon's body. It did not leave any burn marks behind, but the white dragon let out a soft and weak groan.

  The dragon's groan was filled with fatigue.

  At the same time, another bugle was blown.

  "Kill!"

  Beneath the high wall, a group of soldiers dressed in armor ran from all four directions. With sabers in hand, they charged at the gigantic dragon!

  "Clang, clang..."

  Every saber instantly shattered when they cleaved the gigantic dragon. However, once the soldiers were done, another batch of soldiers would appear, retreating only until all the soldiers' sabers were shattered.

  The white dragon was still lying prostrate. It did not even open its eyes and its body did not even flinch. Its heart that was being illuminated by the red beams of light was still beating slowly, at an extremely slow speed. It was as though it was using all its strength to barely complete a beat cycle.

  "Why?"

  Shi Xiaobai finally caught his breath after seeing this. He turned to look at Mos, but as he had too many questions, he could only ask a single word.

  What's wrong with this dragon?

  Why are you treating it this way?

  Why was he shown this scene? What has this got to do with Hisith's game?

  Mos said in a deadpan manner, "This is an Abyssal Demonic Dragon that comes from the Abyss. It has been sealed in the Underworld for more than a millennium. What you just saw were actions to ensure that the demonic dragon does not recover its strength."

  Shi Xiaobai was stunned as he asked another question, "What does it mean?"

  Mos pointed to the rows of skulls that shot red beams of light and said, "This is a S-class restraining array formation. It's used to imprison the demonic dragon's heart, and limit the frequency and amplitude of the demonic dragon's heartbeat. By keeping the amplitude and frequency to its lowest, it will result in restraining its movements. This restraining array formation has lasted for a thousand years, yet it has never been able to completely destroy the demonic dragon's heart."

  When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he came to a realization moments after he pondered over it. It was no wonder the gigantic dragon's heartbeat was so slow and weak.

  Mos carried on. "And the most powerful thing about this demonic dragon is that its strength is constantly recovering, something that even this S-class restraining array formation is unable to completely seal. So those waves of long-range and melee attacks are used to drain its accumulated strength. This is to ensure that the demonic dragon is constantly in its weakest state. If it can be killed, all the better."

  Shi Xiaobai was left speechless with wonder when he heard this. he asked again, "Why are you doing this to it?"

  It might have to do with how the gigantic white dragon resembled the mount in Shi Xiaobai's imagination which resulted in Shi Xiaobai feeling pity for it.

  Mos sneered and said, "Because it's a demonic dragon that has committed the most atrocious
of sins. The Underworld has imprisoned it for a millennium, and have tried numerous times to kill it, but it has never succeeded. If the demonic dragon is at its full power, probably no one in the Underworld can capture it again. If it were to escape, all life in the Underworld would be destroyed."

  When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he silently gave the dragon a big thumbs up. To not die after a thousand years of imprisonment, how strong must its life force and will be?

  "This King understands what you said, but...what has this got to do with the game?" Shi Xiaobai asked, but he was feeling rather speechless with how Mos continued to keep him guessing at the game rules.

  A strange glint flashed in Mos' eyes as he let out a cold and hoarse laughter. He looked at the gigantic white dragon and said, "The game rule set by Master is very simple. You are given one hour to kill the Abyssal Demonic Dragon."

  "Are you kidding me?" Shi Xiaobai said in English, as he was dumbfounded.

  All of you have failed to kill it after torturing it for a thousand years, but you want This King to kill it in an hour!?

  "You still have 59 minutes and 50 seconds."

  Mos turned his head away and sneered, "Master has said that when you succeed the game's mission, he will tell you everything. If you lose the game, you will become the demonic dragon's lunch."

  Shi Xiaobai's expression changed. This "somewhat difficult" game was a bit sick!

  Chapter132 Can you give This King a knife

  When he reached the bottom of the opposite side of the high wall, Shi Xiaobai was once again astonished when saw the prostrating white dragon at a close distance. The white body and golden wings were like beautiful smooth jade and shimmering gold. Standing beside the gigantic dragon felt like he was standing in front of a mountain carved out of white jade and gold.

  Draining the gigantic white dragon of its energy happened every three hours; hence, Shi Xiaobai had the "right to torture" the gigantic white dragon during this hour. However, when Shi Xiaobai walked in front of the white dragon's head, his heart began to palpitate rapidly.

  He felt that he had previously seen this white dragon before, as if he had former ties with it.

  Shi Xiaobai sighed slightly. He dismissed his erroneous feelings as having arose because of the white dragon's resemblance to the Dragon of Supreme Command he cogitated.

  At this moment, the white dragon had its eyes tightly shut while it took a long while to exhale dragon's breath. Shi Xiaobai could not help but reach his hand out to touch the white dragon's chin.

  He felt a cold and smooth touch that resembled beautiful jade. The white dragon naturally would not react to such a gentle touch. However, from the groan it had previously produced while it was being attacked by the fire plumes, it was obvious that the white dragon was not sleeping. Indeed, with it being "tortured" every few hours, how could it sleep soundly?

  And this white dragon was closing its eyes while taking extremely long breaths. Its body was motionless, probably because it was nearly drained of its energy. With its heart being restrained, its energy was constantly weakened. If not for the last strand of energy it possessed, its heart would have long stopped.

  "This little white dragon...is truly a pitiful fellow."

  Shi Xiaobai stroked the white dragon's chin, feeling pity for it.

  Having been imprisoned for a thousand years, what sort of loneliness would that be…

  Struggling to stay alive for a thousand years, what sort of sorrow would that be?

  "You still have fifty minutes," said Mos' cold voice.

  Shi Xiaobai was stunned as he realized that he had spent ten minutes hesitating.

  Although Shi Xiaobai had turned slightly soft-hearted for the gigantic dragon, there was no other way. This gigantic dragon was a demonic dragon that had committed atrocities. If he could not kill it in an hour, the game would end in failure. He would not obtain information about Chen Lingcun's whereabouts, nor could he save Chen Lingcun from impending death...

  "What atrocities did this little white dragon commit?"

  Shi Xiaobai turned around and asked softly. He needed a reason to convince himself to wrench his heart and kill the gigantic white dragon.

  Mos' eyes shimmered before he said, "This Abyssal Demonic Dragon escaped out of the Abyss and stepped into the human world, killing thousands of commoners. Finally, the king of the Underworld Kings, Hades, led seven Underworld Kings and managed to subjugate the Abyssal Demonic Dragon. Later on, they used S-class restraining array formations to restrain the demonic dragon's heart. Due to certain reasons, the demonic dragon was not killed and forgotten by Hades in this 'Underworld'. In short, it has killed more than ten thousand lives."

  Shi Xiaobai was stunned before he nodded and took a deep breath.

  More than ten thousand lives. This reason...was sufficient.

  Shi Xiaobai walked towards the gigantic white dragon's body. The heart that had its contours revealed by the red beams of light was still expanding and contracting, while a golden wing was tightly covering its chest.

  "Can you...help This King move its wing away?" Shi Xiaobai requested for Mos' assistance.

  Upon hearing this, Mos hesitated for a moment before walking over. He said, "I'm not supposed to help you, but since moving the wing isn't something difficult, and I'm very curious over the method you would use to kill the demonic dragon, this is the only help I'll be giving you."

  Shi Xiaobai was slightly stunned.

  Moving such a large golden wing wasn't difficult?

  At this moment, Mos had already flown up. As he grabbed a corner of the golden wing with one hand, he flew towards the right. The golden wing was slowly moved by Mos in this manner as a white chest was slowly revealed.

  Once Mos released his hand, the golden wing fell to the ground beside the dragon's body, it no longer reached out to cover its chest.

  Upon seeing this, Shi Xiaobai took a deep breath. The white dragon no longer had the strength to move its wings. It didn't even have the strength to resist Mos.

  Shi Xiaobai could clearly see a thin red line across the white dragon's chest. This red line had previously been seen on those skeleton soldiers back in the virtual world. Hence, Shi Xiaobai knew very well that the weakness of the gigantic white dragon was located there.

  And at this moment, the white dragon no longer had the strength to hide its weakness.

  Shi Xiaobai gritted his teeth as he felt a baffling sense of anguish for the white dragon rising from his heart. However, this white dragon was a demonic dragon that had slaughtered more than ten thousand lives. If he did not kill the dragon, he was unable to save another life.

  "Sorry, forgive This King for having to kill you."

  Shi Xiaobai leaped onto the white dragon's chest. As he felt the white chest slowly rise up every minute beneath his feet, Shi Xiaobai squated down, his eyes slightly heavy.

  Then, he raised his fist.

  At that moment, Shi Xiaobai aimed at the weak red line and used Turtle-speed Divine Punch!

  ...

  One minute later.

  "Boom!"

  After Shi Xiaobai's fist slowly accumulated its strength, all of its energy exploded out, slamming heavily into the white dragon's chest. A ear-piercing boom resounded!

  Mos, who was by the side, had his eyes glaze over. He could not figure out how such a fist that moved at the speed of a turtle could produce so much power. However...

  This punch was still far from enough.

  As the ear-piercing collision sounds echoed, the dragon's body did not even tremble. There was not even a depression left in the chest that was as white as jade.

  "Indeed..."

  Shi Xiaobai's right hand had previously used Turtle-speed Divine Punch once. Although it had recovered rapidly under the elder's healing, it had yet to fully recover. Hence, the Turtle-speed Divine Punch he used could only accumulate energy for a minute, so the amount of p
ower it possessed was barely satisfactory.

  The white dragon's heart was still beating slowly, as though it was unaffected by the punch.

  Shi Xiaobai gave a wry smile. Even if he crippled his entire arm, the Turtle-speed Divine Punch that he delivered would have failed to cause the white dragon any harm.

  How could he easily break through a defense that was able to stubbornly withstand a thousand years of torture?

  "Can you give This King a knife?"

  Shi Xiaobai slowly clenched his fist. He needed to use the Pig Slaughtering Knife!

  ...

  Although Mos had mentioned that he had given his last bit of help, Mos was still very curious over the means Shi Xiaobai would employ to kill the demonic dragon. As such, he quickly found a steel knife for Shi Xiaobai.

  As Shi Xiaobai grasped the steel knife, he immediately felt a familiar power.

  This power would appear whenever he recalled the matters that had happened when he was young.

  This was the power of memories.

  Maybe, as the Arch-Cardinal had said, the power of time?

  As Shi Xiaobai wielded the steel knife, he aimed at the red line weakness and used his strength to stab at the white dragon's chest!

  This knife was called Pig Slaughtering Knife, also known as the Benevolence of a Butcher!

  Chapter133 Being able to see you before my death

  "Clang!"

  At the instant the steel knife stabbed into the gigantic white dragon's chest, the white dragon let out a low dragon's roar.

  At the same time, the steel knife shattered!

  Shi Xiaobai was forcefully thrown backwards as he crashed into the ground.

  The knife had dealt little damage to the white dragon, but it had at least made it roar. Although the damage was tiny, not a single mark was left on the white dragon's chest!

  The eyes of Mos changed drastically. There was fear and killing intent in the gaze that he used to look at Shi Xiaobai. Just standing by the side, that knife had made him feel that his life was threatened. He actually felt from the bottom of his heart..."fear" for that knife?
