Endless Evolution: Last Star Chapter 1444 - Capítulo 1444: The Last View

Capítulo 1444: The Last View

nax rembered his first victory well. Like most monsters, it was a battle against another monster.

Like many in such a deep part of the world, nax was born an Awakened Monster, so he didn’t have to start from scratch and obtain his human form and free mind.

Nevertheless, his path was more difficult and bloodier than that of most monsters, there was no doubt about that. In his first battle, he almost died, the teeth of the great beast piercing his shoulder and leaving deep scars, but his golden blade was able to pierce the beast’s throat a little earlier.

nax never forgot this key mont in his history, nor did he forget the many battles that made him stronger, allowing him to stand here now and fight against Adam Vinter.

In this, he and Adam were alike. Each of them had faced failure many tis, for different reasons, but each ti they found a way to win.

But… Now everything had changed.

Blood flowed from nax’s mouth in a powerful stream as his heart desperately tried to keep beating, but Adam’s palm prevented that from happening.

Those who had never lost in deadly battles before clashed on the battlefield. Obviously, only one of them could continue on his path.

Each of them believed in their victory, just as before, but reality proved cruel, at least for one of them.

“Gha…”

nax’s hoarse voice rang out as he lowered his gaze to Adam’s calm eyes. They were gradually regaining their natural blue color.

Slowly, Adam withdrew his hand from nax’s chest, covered in blood up to his wrist. nax struggled to stay on one knee, but his life was coming to an end.

He rembered every important battle he had fought before, and this would be the last in his history.

He saw Adam disappear as the purple fla engulfed Adam’s fra and then…

‘Then it was all over…’

nax thought, slowly raising his gaze.

“You… Adam… You won…”

There was no pity or anger toward nax in Adam’s gaze, only respect and even gratitude. This was a fight he hadn’t prepared for, unlike his duels against Ureyn and Erada. He didn’t know that the hunters would co after him when he left Izardo, nor that nax would be the strongest of them.

Still, it was the battle Adam desperately needed. His heart wanted it. It was a brutal fight, full of blood, wounds, and power, against an opponent who was truly his equal in strength and spirit.

“nax, I don’t know how much longer you can hold out, but we both know you only have a few breaths left.”

Adam lowered himself to eye level.

“Do you have anything to say? Do you have a last wish?”

“Hah… Shut up… you arrogant bastard…” nax croaked as blood flowed from his mouth with every word, several crimson drops falling onto Adam’s face.

Then, nax smiled bitterly as he nodded slightly.

“My body…”

“Hmm?”

nax stared into Adam’s eyes.

“Don’t let anyone get my body… They’ll pounce on my flesh like vultures… like pathetic scavengers! Don’t let them do that!”

Adam nodded deeply.

“I see. I’ll do that.”

“G-Great, at least one piece of good news… before… before I rest…”

Silence.

No one else said anything, and even the gusts of wind rushing along the canyon did not disturb the peaceful silence.

Adam watched as nax’s eyes slowly closed until darkness engulfed him.

Thump.

He fell at Adam’s feet. The great warrior had been defeated, a stellar monster who, in the future, several hundred years from now, could have beco a powerful Lord.

Adam was at his limit as well. There was almost no energy left in his body, and his Evolution Tree resembled a dried-up river where only a few drops remained from the great flow.

However, he couldn’t allow himself to close his eyes. Not only because it was dangerous, but also because he had to fulfill nax’s last wish.

“Shit… I should have just watched him die in silence…” Adam shook his head and threw nax over his shoulder.

Tremble.

His knees trembled, even such a weight now seed enormous to him. But he moved forward, step by step, toward the slope of the canyon.

“Well, you say that, but you would never have done it, would you?” Silvana asked as she appeared next to Adam.

She wanted to help him, but she couldn’t. All her energy had gone into their last clash and Adam’s last dash.

But, even though she didn’t have the physical ability to help Adam and couldn’t give him energy, she could always support him with her words and presence.

“Now, you feel better than ever, don’t you?” Silvana smirked.

Adam smiled bitterly.

“Hah… Even though I feel like I’m about to collapse from exhaustion, you’re right… Ureyn and Erada were worthy opponents, but nax was not. Huh, that bastard actually almost killed .”

Adam knew full well that if his last attack had failed, nax’s spear would have pierced his chest in return. They both had the sa goal, but Adam was a little faster.

“In the end, the Path Construct created exactly the weapon you needed. Although when I first saw that you had lost your sword and Nexus and received a simple black staff in return, I thought it was a disaster.”

In response, Adam just shrugged.

“Well, I didn’t have ti to think about it. If I had hesitated, the golden palm would have crushed .”

Their walk continued as they occasionally talked about sothing, whether it was the past battle or the dangers that might await Adam further on.

But, at that mont, Adam had only one goal — to get out of the canyon and fulfill nax’s wish.

He usually didn’t do this, but this ti, for so reason, he decided he had to find out what he could do, what nax would want at the end of his path.

‘I wonder, what about ? What would I do if I were in his place? Would he grant my wish?’

Adam shook his head.

‘That’s not what I should be thinking about. I won… which ans it’s ti to go ho!’
