Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 293: Ch 293: Why Hate Exceptions?

After Emrys shattered the space, the entire void-like hall began to collapse. The darkness around him started to fade and the Mist of Abyss was quickly absorbed by the deformed sword.

In no time, Emrys’s surroundings changed drastically. He returned to the main hall, where the person in black attire was sitting on the throne earlier. But this time, only the throne was there. The person in black was nowhere to be seen.

Curently, the entire palace was shooking heavily. It was crumbling. The high ceiling, pillars, walls, and other such structures were crumbling into pieces, falling down, and turning into pieces of debris.

"How dare you?"

A roar echoed in the crumbling space. Simultaneously, the person in black, who had disappeared earlier, suddenly reappeared. His previous calm demeanor was replaced by shock and anger. He never expected Emrys to be so capable that he even destroyed this palace that was being protected by Mist of Abyss, a special form of energy he obtained after hundreds of thousands of years of hard work and research.

"You dare disrupt my domain?" the person in black shouted at Emrys. Ripples of invisible energy started rising around his body. Clearly, he was ready to attack any second.

Emrys, on the other hand, remained calm. He was not terrified. Instead, a mocking smile appeared on his face. "You wanted to test me, kill me. Did you truly think I’ll play by your rules?"

"You..." Ripples of energy around the person in black intensified, but then it suddenly calmed down. Then the person in black sighed, "You... are truly an Exception."

He admitted.

His dark form suddenly transformed into fog, arriving in front of Emrys before materializing into a figure. Then he said, "However, no matter who you are, you’ll die when I want you to."

"Really?"

Just as the person in black raised his hand to attack, Emrys chuckled. He asked, "Then before killing me, why don’t you tell me the reason you want to kill me?"

"Because exceptions are hateful. They do nothing more than disrupt the order and go against natural laws. They only know how to create trouble everywhere they go. In every place they visit, the appearance of a bloodbath becomes natural. Powerful forces lose their ground and even disappear. There are many reasons why an exception must be killed."

What Emrys never expected was that the person in black actually started telling him the reason. His ears perked up as he listened carefully. He truly wanted to know why this person hates someone who can break a rule and go against it!

The person in black did not disappoint Emrys. Very soon, he spoke of the real reason.

"That person was also an exception. Everywhere he went, chaos spread. He killed countless innocent people and destroyed not less than a hundred powerful forces. The peace disappeared. He was the one who destroyed my family, killed my father in front of my eyes, cut my mother’s tongue, and did many horrible things."

"Later, he only did one simple act of saving the world from invaders, and people started worshipping him as their hero. How hateful!"

"The most hateful thing about you exceptions is that you are too lucky. That damn bastard was also very lucky. Whenever a treasure appeared, even if there was an earth-shattering battle, that treasure ended up in his hands. Whenever a peerless beauty appeared, they were attracted to that bastard. Whenever a competition happened, he emerged victorious as the champion. Most importantly, his enemies, no matter how powerful, always ended up dead in the end."

The person in black recounted his experience. He seemed to be recalling the events of the past. The more he spoke, the more hatred flashed in his eyes.

Emrys suddenly understood why this person hated "Exception" so much. It turned out he had suffered under the hand of such a person.

But he was also curious about who that person was.

Looking at the furious person in front of him, Emrys chuckled and said, "So you hated that person not because he was an Exception who could always go against the norms, you hated him because he did something horrible to your family. You hated him because you were jealous of him. You hated him because he always attracted beauties. Hah, you truly are a narrow-minded person."

"You... How dare you?"

A powerful aura erupted from that person’s body. The already crumbling palace shook heavily and suddenly crumbled entirely all of a sudden.

However, it didn’t affect Emrys or the person in black. They were safe and sound.

At some point, Emrys had already taken back the deformed sword, holding it in his hand. An invisible layer of energy was shielding him, protecting his body from suffering any damage.

"Isn’t that so?"

Emrys kept the deformed sword back in the Dark River and turned to the person in black. "See. Because of that one person, you are hating me without any reason. Do you know me? You don’t know me at all. Then how can you say wherever I go, I cause chaos and destruction? I never made destroyed any force..."

While speaking, Emrys suddenly recalled something. He did destroy a few families. Of course, those families were full of villains. Also, he is indeed lucky. Even in the fragmented Cosmic World, all the precious treasures always ended up in his hand, including the Sun & Moon Sword, the inheritance of Sage, and more.

The luckiest thing that recently happened to him was his encounter with Timeless Enlightenment Seed. It brought a huge change in him, transformed him completely.

’Is it really true that all exceptions are incredibly lucky?’

Emrys suddenly questioned himself inwardly. At the same time, he also thought: ’Who was that person this man talked about just now?’

While thinking about it, he suddenly disappeared, reappearing in front of the Phoenix Palace.

The moment he disappeared, at the place where he stood, a huge hammer descended.

"BOOM!"

An explosion echoed in the air. Debris flew in every direction. Dust filled the space entirely.
