Chapter 96: 4.33 Third Blue Star - Death of the Sky Wolf

Xie Ye led the Vanguard Team and fought with the Sky Wolf. Gui Lan supported the team and erected a tall transparent ice dome while enclosing the beast and the Vanguard team in it. The healing team is outside the dome, watching the whole fight. As soon as one of the members of the vanguard team is hurt, the rest would work to pull him out of the dome and heal him right away. Xie Y, while holding a black sword, is fighting the lone one-on-one, while the rest supported him from the sidelines, attacking the wolf randomly. Its huge body was a perfect target for a group attack. Since Xie Ye is holding the beast in one place, they could target the enemy without precise targeting. They only need to avoid accidentally hitting their teammates. The Sky Wolf howls in anger, seeing these puny little insects attacking him, but was still vigilant enough as he remembered the fear towards that ice ability user who killed his clone 15 years ago, might be lurking in the shadows, watching him make a fool out of himself. Everyone could hear the wolf's rambling. "Bastard. Bastard. Bastard. Why are you interfering!? If not for you, I wouldn't be in this state! You've already killed my clone. What the hell do you still want from me!? Fuck. fuck. You're a higher being, why are you caring for these puny insects when they are not even useful to you!!! Dammit!" yelled the Sky Wolf. Yi Zheng yelled back, "You are the bastard! How are you calling insects!?" "It's you. All of you! You are just insects. An Ant! Do you not know that child whom I fought before!? He is not human. He is even stronger than an ordinary God! Fuck! I do not understand why he is protecting you guys and this little world at all!!" screamed the Sky Wolf despite being injured all over his body. ROOAARR!!! The Sky Wolf was about to enter his berserk mode when his neck and limbs were suddenly bound by chains made of Ice. This control attack is something Xie Ye didn't do at the moment, the beast is at its weakest. He restrained the wolf at the split moment of opportunity when its guards were at their lowest during the initial stages of his berserk. The Ice cools the raging emotion of the wild beast. With the sudden restriction, his berserk mode went to war, and the sky wolf ended up suffering a backlash. CLING. CLING. Struggling to move, "What is fuck!? Chains made of ice!?" The Sky Wolf glared at the human holding the black blade. He witnessed this human using Ice elements to restrict his movements. "Who are you? Why can you use the same element as that person?!!?" asked the Sky Wolf. Xie Ye's face is cold and ruthless as he waves his sword to cut off the legs of the wolf. The Sky Wolf could only howl in pain as he lost his limbs. Giving Xie Ye a death glare as if he wanted to eat him alive. Chew him like a snack. But within those eyes were mixed emotions of shock, disbelief, and agony. This Sky Wolf couldn't believe that he lost to a human being. Sky Wolf looked at Xie Ye like he was something weird. "You are not... that boy whom... I fought ...15 years ago, but... the ice element you've used... had the same purity. That ice is not... just someone could... wield..." said the Sky Wolf in between his breaths, he could even feel his body turning cold at every second. Xie Ye understood what the dying wolf was trying to say and replied to him. "My ability is copy. Ice element is my wife's ability." The Sky Wolf's eyes widened in surprise as he saw the eyes of the human before him slowly changing from crimson to pure darkness. As if feeling the abyss looking back at him, the Sky Wolf felt an undeniable strength within those darkness-filled orbs. It was a strength that was beyond the man he calls master. But this person's strength is not yet at the same level as that smiling devil. Not yet. At least not for now. Only then did he understand the real identity of the human before him. It was this person that the little devil is protecting with everything. Just now, he felt that the aura of his master was gone. His master had made his move to find that child from 15 years ago. Now that his master's aura completely disappeared all of a sudden means that he is either dead or captured. The Sky Wolf feels that more of the latter instead. "Wife? Hehe~ you have an extremely powerful wife. Then I have only one last thing to say to you. Are you willing to listen?" said the Sky Wolf. Xie Ye responded coldly, "Speak, beast." The Sky Wolf snorted at him and said, "15 years ago,o when you didn't wake up. Everything had already been decided. You will never be able to change the future now." 15 years a, if I remembered it correctly, that little devil who killed my clone had a fatal wound in the soul, which means he wouldn't be able to live long in this little star. While this bastard will have to live even longer than his other half. HAHAHAHAHA!!! SLASH Xie Ye's stygian irises glinted with ruthlessness and mercilessness, he slashed the beast's neck with his black sword. Separating the head from its body. Then, Sky Wolf is no more. Everyone watched as their leader took the head of their enemy, with the Master of the Inferno Syndicate gone, Inferno would no longer exist. Everyone in SID celebrated their victory, even though the coldness deep within Xie Ye's eyes is not without a reason. This mythical creature said that the future is set in stone 15 years ago. He even knew that he had just recently awakened. This can only mean that this wolf knew that he was a soul fragment that had just woken up. "Everything was set in stone 15 years ago. What does he mean?" murmured Xie Ye. The black sword disappears out of nowhere, but Xie Ye could summon it back if he wished to. That is a demonic sword that could be called by the owner anytime. The moment he held the sword and didn't die means he was accepted as the owner of such a cursed weapon. Before he could mulled over things, someone fell from the sky onto his arms. Xie Ye carefully catches the falling person in his embrace. It was Gui Lan. "Good job, A'Ye!" said Gui Lan as he wrapped his hand around Xie Ye's neck and kissed him on his cheeks. Muaa! Xie Ye couldn't help but smile as his beloved kissed him, but he still thought it was not enough. After celebrating for a shorttimee they finally remembered their leaders who worked the hardest for this plan. One fought on the frontlines while the other supported everyone, preventing the possible deaths of their unit. They thanked God that they could finally be free from those psychopathic espers who only kill for joy and blood. With the end of Inferno, those psychopaths would no longer be created by humans anymore. They could finally have a normal life without the fear of losing their lives because of the syndicate. As of today, my Inferno will be no more. Looking at Xie Ye and Gui Lan's interaction. Everyone is joyous for this pair as they know what kind of hardships they've suffered, even getting separated from each other for 15 years. Xie Ye complains, "Baby~ is that all for my reward? Not even a proper kiss." he is looking at his lover with pleading and unsatisfied eyes. Gui Lan used his left index finger and pushed up Xie Ye's chin. With a taunting smile on his face, he looked at Xie Ye with a passionate and haughty gaze. "What do you want? A'Ye~ tell me... What. Doo. You. Want?~" whispered Gui Lan while mischievously blowing on Xie Ye's ears. Everyone around them felt embarrassed for no reason. Some shy ones even covered their faces only peeking through the slit of their fingers. Some were bold enough to record the scene, while some were giving Xie Ye a playful smirk and teasing eyes. They can see that Xie Ye was dumbfounded for a moment. He could even see him gulping as his Adam's apple moved up and down when he heard Gui Lan's playful voice directly in his ears. Seeing his lover's slightly tinted ears, Gui Lan felt that he hadn't teased him enough and whispered a few more words of temptation. Only Xie Ye experiences the seduction directly from a little devil. Gui Lan whispered, "Can't decide~ I'll wait for you at home. So think about it well. A'Ye~" he then chomped on Xie Ye's ears before kissing them coyly. Then everyone watched Gui Lan suddenly disappear from Xie Ye's arms, and then all that was left behind was a blushing tomato called Xie Ye. Seeing this kind of Xie Ye, Yi Zheng couldn't stop himself from laughing. He isn't the only one trying to hold back their laughter, but one lost control of his mouth, and his sounds of joy came out from his mouth. Pfft! Hahaha~ It didn't take long for the rest to follow his steps and laugh together with him. Forgetting that their target of laughter is none other than their boss. But instead of getting angry, Xie Ye steps in huge strides towards Yi Zheng and pats his shoulders with force to choke his laughter. Pat. Pat. Pat. "Good~ You now even dare to laugh at me ha~ A'Yi..." said Xie Ye with a bright smile on his captivating face, but unlike when he is looking at Gui La, this expression is less. Behind that smile is a demon who is raging in anger. Yi Zheng's face turned ashen right at this moment, while the laughter from before had all paused. Everyone's thoughts while looking at the pale Chief of SID: 'Rest in place, Chief!' Yi Zheng raised both his hands and shook his head like a machine with few loose screws. "No.Noo. D-Dage. I won't dare anymore," responded Yi Zheng. Xie Ye ignored his gesture and responded, "Remember, A'Yi. I and Lan'er are going to retire. Do not visit us for a week or so. I will meet you when our wedding preparations are done." Yi Zheng's nervousness instantly disappeared when he heard Xie Ye's words. Xie Ye and Gui Lan suddenly retiring from the SID means all the work for the aftermath will fall on him and Li Xing. "D-Dage. T-This... you don't need to retire. I-I'll give you a yes! A long vacation," said Yi Zheng, trying his hardest to keep the two in his unit. Li Xing, who was standing beside Yi Zhen, giggled but still stopped his lover from convincing Xie Ye to remain in SID. "A'Zhe let them go. I will help you with work," said Li Xing. Yun Li and Xu Lun, who understood Li Xing's reason for agreeing to their bosses' retirement, also speak. Yun Li said, "If you don't mind me helping. I would lend you a hand." "Hehe~ I will partner up with Li'er and help as well," said Xu Lun. Yi Zheng was still very reluctant to let go of the two. Only when his lover whispered a few things that he let it go. "Okay! I will make the necessary preparations for it. Dage, please be happy with A'Lan," said Yi Zheng with a huge grin on his face. Xie Ye's expression slightly softens and replies, "I will make Lan'er happy." After finishing things here and there, he also disappeared from the place and used teleportation to leave the location, like what Gui Lan did before. Once Xie Ye disappeared from their sight, Yi Zheng could only let out a deep breath of resignation. Li Xing, who understood his lover's reluctance, could only comfort him by patting his back. "They've been separated for 15 years already. Let them spend more time together," said Li Xing. "They should live for their happiness this time," said Yun Li. Xu Lun spoke, "It's not like we can't ask for help if there is a case we couldn't solve. They would be in the Minister's estate anyway." "Sigh~ indeed I shouldn't be making selfish decisions. They had suffered enough. But... you guys would help me, right?! I don't want to work overtime alone! We still need to schedule our vacation to join them in their honeymoon getaway!" said Yi Zheng. Hearing this, the other three had a smile on their face, apparently they also had this on their minds. "Of course!" Afterwards, they cleaned up the rest of the things regarding the president's estate. Gather all evidence and capture all members of the syndicate. Though some escape, those people would be put on the wanted bounty list. With the help of the Gui Clan and the Psyche Institute, cleaning the aftermath had gone smoothly even when the two former core members of the group had left the team.
