Chapter 817   Needing an Answer FasKarwenz saw nothing but pale white in front of him after returning from death. He felt some ringing in his ears and also an uncomfortable and powerful urge to vomit due to the condition of this physical body.It was expected that his vision wouldn’t recover immediately. It would take time getting used to eyes that hadn’t been used for quite a while. This physical body that Karwenz had prepared for himself had been sleeping for almost a month.

This body hadn’t eaten or drank anything for the past month. Plus, due to the special condition of this body, the mortal’s body had already reached its extreme limit.

If it wasn’t for this body originally belonging to an excellent swordsman, then “he” would likely have to first rest properly for half a year in order to recover.

“Bro, I’m going to play outside now.”

Karwenz spoke raspily through the dry lips of his new body, repeating the last words he just spoke earlier. This was a sign that his soul had synchronized with his new physical body.

“You’re not allowed to!”

Karwenz had just woken up from his body’s deep sleep and hadn’t even gotten accustomed to the changes of his new body when a low roar greeted him with rejection.

Karwenz wasn’t greeted with welcoming servants or the sight of a busy construction site as he expected. He couldn’t believe how this person filled with vicious intentions for him had arrived here.

“Roland?”

The demon elites that Karwenz personally selected were now nothing more than torn flesh and blood. A certain blonde-haired Holy Knight had his hands wrapped around the neck of a beautiful female devil.

“Hahahaha, as expected of Roland. I never expected that you would appear here.”

Karwenz paused in surprise for a moment, and then actually started laughing out loud.

Meanwhile, I was also rather surprised.

Karwenz had the same familiar blonde hair, familiar blue eyes, familiar face, but a completely different… gender.

“Karwenz? Leona?”

I couldn’t help but wonder out loud. Even though I could clearly sense that the person before me was that bastard younger twin brother of mine, and even though I had already expected this possibility, I was still quite shocked when it really happened in front of me.

“My foolish little brother… sister! Ahem, as I expected, Leona was your backup physical body from the very start!”

Karwenz had just reincarnated himself into the body of Leona, the saintess of the Church of Sword and Thunder!

This Chaos Girl had been able to avoid the slaughtering between the Chaos Girls and was instead bound to the altar for the door to the dimensional barrier, as if she was a sacrifice. It had all been for this moment.

The blonde-haired woman looked at me with disbelief. Her body was so weak that she was unable to stand up properly. It was quite noticeable that her pregnant belly was bulging. Still, from a certain standpoint, her pregnancy was the foundational reason why things had developed this way.“Ha, Roland, let’s chat later.”

“She” turned around and was about to walk into the wall when I coldly uttered an underhanded threat.

“Karwenz, you better turn back, unless you don’t want her to live anymore.”

I still had Ilmisya’s neck in my hands as I raised her. My small ice sword traced a red line on her slender neck.

“…You don’t seem like a person on the side of good at all. Haven’t you told me that antagonists who threaten hostages are all low-level villains who die off really quickly in the story?”

Karwenz paused for a moment before saying some of my own words that I didn’t even remember telling him. I originally thought that he would at least hesitate for a little, but then “Leona” turned her head to roll her eyes at me and laugh without a care.

“Go ahead and kill her if you want. Plenty of people have died already, so who cares if one more dies? Even more people will probably die once the door to the dimensional barrier is opened, hahaha.”

Even though Karwenz was talking about something that would destroy the world, his lighthearted tone of looking forward to this made him seem like a naughty child looking forward to his birthday.

The “major elimination of survival of the fittest” after the dimensional barrier was opened was a huge celebration that Karwenz had desired for so long already. All of the previous sacrifices and deaths before this were nothing more than a minor prelude for the big party afterwards.

At that moment, I understood. Ilmisya was completely meaningless to him. He didn’t care about her one bit. In fact, he didn’t even care what would happen to himself in the upcoming calamity.

Destruction? Evolution? None of that mattered to him. It was all fine as long as he had fun.

Still, I knew what he did care about.

And so, I took a deep breath and slowly moved my sword away from Ilmisya’s neck. I then transformed it into a dagger and aimed it directly at my own heart.

“Karwenz, you and I were born from the same soul. You won’t die as long as I’m alive, and I won’t die as long as you’re alive. However, perhaps it’s time for us to die together.”

My ice dagger itself was meaningless. It was simply a way for me to express my attitude and resolution.

Karwenz turned around once more. This time, he finally had his eyebrows furrowed.

“Elisa was correct. As expected, once you knew about the nature of our indestructibility, if I had a big advantage, you would use this strategy for us to die together. Honestly, it’s so disgusting for me to have to die for love together with another man…”

At that moment, I was disgusted as well…

“This is clearly a noble self-sacrifice. No matter how terrible this is, it counts as me acting out my responsibility as an older brother. Could you please not describe it in such a disgusting manner?”

Goosebumps were appearing on my skin. This was clearly a battlefield, and the entire world’s survival was at stake, so couldn’t Karwenz at least be a little more serious?

“Sacrifice? For the sake of the mortals who betrayed us? Or for the Holy Church who destroyed our family and country? Hey hey hey, could you stop acting like such a saint? Such people definitely won’t have a good ending and will definitely die quickly.”

I was the one who paused here, as I had no idea how to counter him because his words were so right. I really needed an answer fast…
