The Truth Revealed
"Alright... it's ti to leave, Little Moon."
Arthur spoke in a warm, gentle voice as he called out to her.
Moon Fu erged from one of the ruined houses, carrying a few simple belongings she had managed to gather. She looked around for him but could not find Arthur.
Instead, standing before her was a young man in the pri of youth, with noble features and a handso face adorned with a calm smile.
She took a nervous step back.
"W-Who are you?
And where is Brother Arthur?"
The young man smiled calmly, a trace of familiar amusent in his voice.
"It's , you fool...
I'm Arthur."
He had used Zhao Fan's technique to change his appearance, exactly as he had requested before.
His appearance had transford into that of a noble-looking young man with a gentle and calm expression, completely unlike his previous intimidating appearance.
Moon Fu stared at his face for several long seconds before her eyes suddenly widened.
"Brother...?!"
After finally confirming it, she smiled in relief, and the two of them set off together toward Rainflower City.
"From now on, call Astaroth, Little Moon. Understood?"
She nodded enthusiastically.
"Alright, Brother Astaroth...
But who is Astaroth?"
A brief silence followed as Arthur's beautiful eyes drifted toward the sky.
"He is...
the na of one of my old brothers."
Arthur smiled faintly, but his gaze wandered far away.
mories flooded his mind...
the days on Earth.
Michael... Astaroth... Arthur.
Three brothers, three friends whom nothing could separate... or so they had believed.
Until the day Michael discovered the truth about what had happened to his younger brother.
And on that night...
When Arthur learned of it, the worst Grim Reaper lost his sanity.
He infiltrated under the cover of darkness, confronted Astaroth...
and killed him, along with all of his n.
And in the end...
Arthur himself died at the hands of Astaroth's n, after completely losing his mind.
Arthur let out a deep sigh.
His eyes reddened slightly with pain and sorrow, because after killing Astaroth...
he had discovered the entire truth and learned why Michael had been killed in the first place.
But at that mont, different mories began surfacing—old mories erging from the depths of his mind.
mories of his life.
Of all his brothers, not only Michael and Astaroth.
Arthur held his forehead in pain and exhaustion.
Cain, is there sothing wrong with ?
| Your body has been completely examined. There is no problem.
You are in perfect ntal condition. |
Then what are these damned mories?
Arthur sighed quietly, exhausted as he tried to understand what had just happened to him.
Unaware that another crack had ford in the wall that concealed his mories and mind.
And so he continued walking in silence.

Three days later, deep into the night...
Arthur and Little Moon arrived at a beautiful and peaceful forest.
Darkness had fallen, and the air carried a gentle chill.
This forest was the final obstacle before reaching Rainflower City.
Suddenly...
Arthur sensed an enormous eruption of power very nearby.
At the sa mont, the Black Thunder Ring on his finger lit up.
"Is one of them here...?"
He did not hesitate.
He lifted Little Moon onto his shoulder and shot forward at trendous speed toward the source of the disturbance.
Only seconds later, he arrived.
The scene was clear.
Two beautiful young won were injured and under attack by an elderly man surrounded by a poisonous and deadly aura.
Nearby...
stood a familiar young man.
Arthur's eyes narrowed.
"I've finally found you, you bastard!"
he shouted furiously, causing the Thunder Ring to vibrate violently.
The young man raised his head, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"You ca, Big Brother."
Arthur was surprised by the way he addressed him, but he imdiately understood.
Everything was part of the plan.
He also noticed the obvious injuries covering Zhao Fan's body.
The three turned toward Arthur.
"Who are you, boy?"
Yan Song, the Pill King, spoke angrily while staring at him.
Arthur smiled mockingly.
"Who am I...?
That's a difficult question."
Then his expression suddenly changed.
"But..."
He quickly threw Little Moon toward Zhao Fan, then shot forward like an arrow toward Yan Song and thrust his palm toward the man's chest.
"I am that bastard's brother...
and you're here trying to kill my brother."
Yan Song blocked the attack and raised his hand to strike back.
But Arthur smiled calmly...
and released a dense dark aura from his body.
"I'll kill you, you old bastard."
"And I'll kill you, little brat!"
Power exploded from both of them as they collided at unbelievable speed.
Arthur waved his hand.
Yan Song blocked it and attempted a counterattack with his other hand.
But within a fraction of a second...
a dark black sword appeared in Arthur's hand.
Yan Song's body trembled.
He tried to retreat, but Arthur grabbed him firmly, pulled him closer, and swung the sword toward his head.
At the critical mont...
a powerful golden beam shot out from the forest, colliding with Arthur's sword and knocking it away.
Yan Song retreated rapidly, a small wound split across his shoulder.
"Which bastard dared interfere with my attack?!
Which son of a whore wants himself and his entire family killed?!
Co out right now!"
Arthur roared in rage and madness as his green eyes ignited with bloody fury and his body began trembling.
The bushes rustled.
An old one-eyed man erged with a crow perched upon his shoulder.
It was...
Old Man Jiu.
Behind him stood his two disciples.
"Young man, stop."
he said calmly, a powerful aura emanating from his body.
"Do not commit a disaster that cannot be undone."
Then he looked at Yan Song.
"And you... how can an elder like yourself bully a young boy?"
Yan Song sighed, wanting to withdraw, but Arthur's body trembled with rage as he shouted,
"And where do you think you're going, son of a whore?!"
Everyone looked toward Arthur as he smiled angrily.
"This old bastard nearly killed my brother.
And now you're telling to stop?
And I'm supposed to obey simply because you said so?"
Old Man Jiu calmly looked at Arthur while assessing his strength.
He's strong.
Very strong.
"Young man, I'm only trying to make peace before disaster strikes."
Arthur snorted mockingly.
"And I want disaster.
I seek it.
I love it, adore it, and enjoy its existence.
What if he had killed my brother?
With what face would I et my parents afterward?
Should I tell them their bastard son got scared and ran away, unable to avenge his brother?"
Arthur spat blood onto the ground before licking his lips happily.
"To hell with that.
I'll kill him, or I'll die trying and make my parents proud of their foolish son."
With those words, Arthur gripped his sword as an aura of death began dancing around his body with madness and terror.
His face distorted and vanished into the darkness of death while a single green eye stared at Yan Song.
At that mont, Yan Song's body trembled.
Arthur's eye had changed from green into a darkness resembling the eternal void.
Arthur pressed against the ground with force as he dragged his sword, prepared to attack and kill.
But at that mont, Zhao Fan shouted from behind in a powerful voice,
"Big Brother, stop! I'm fine! Please don't risk your life!"
With Zhao Fan's shout, everyone expected Arthur to continue.
Yet, astonishingly...
within a fraction of a second, the aura of death disappeared and Arthur smiled calmly.
"Alright, since you said so, Little Brother."
Everyone stared at Arthur strangely.
How could a person's mood change so easily?
"Brother Astaroth... are you alright?"
Little Moon approached Arthur while holding onto his trousers with gentle eyes.
Arthur smiled warmly and patted her head.
"Yes, I'm alright, Little Moon."
"Astaroth...?"
Old Man Jiu slowly repeated the na while looking at Arthur.
"What do you want, old man?"
Long Kai shouted angrily,
"You barbaric little brat! Show so respect to yourself and to Master Jiu!"
The atmosphere changed instantly.
"You fool..."
Arthur said coldly.
"Your master interfered in another master's battle. That tarnishes my na and reputation."
He stepped forward.
"If not for my brother's words,
I would have cut off every head here right now."
Then he fixed his gaze on her.
"And you would have been the first."
With those words...
a terrifying killing intent erupted from Arthur's body and swept through the entire area.
Although Arthur in his current state was still weaker than Old Man Jiu, everyone realized one undeniable truth:
This boy was not joking.
It was not rely his strength that frightened them, but the killing intent radiating from him—a sincere, heavy aura proving that his words and actions were not empty threats.
It was the aura of a man truly prepared to kill...
without hesitation.
A brief silence followed before it was broken by a familiar voice.
"Big Brother... are you alright?"
Arthur turned around, and his expression changed instantly, his harshness transforming into genuine concern.
Once again, everyone was utterly shocked by how quickly this young man's mood changed.
"My sweet little brother...
Why didn't you tell where you were going?"
He stepped forward, his voice rising with both anger and concern.
"You made worry about you, you little bastard!
That old man almost hurt you!
Are you stupid or what?
What have you done this ti? Speak!"
The atmosphere tensed once more before a calm and composed voice interrupted.
"Ahem... Sir Astaroth."
"What?"
Chu Xing Qing, the Mistress of the Rainflower Tower, spoke gently as she looked at Arthur and then at Zhao Fan.
"I apologize for putting your brother in danger...
but that will not happen again."
Zhao Fan smiled calmly, a mixture of cunning and feigned innocence on his face.
"Big Sister Chu Chu, please don't apologize to this big bastard.
I accepted everything willingly."
Arthur's eyes narrowed.
"Who are you calling a bastard, you idiot?!"
Zhao Fan's expression imdiately changed, and he jumped behind Chu Xing Qing awkwardly.
"Ah! Big Sister Chu Chu, save , please!"
Arthur raised his hand as if he were about to hit him, but before he could move...
a clear and gentle laugh rang out.
Little Moon was laughing, watching the scene with shining eyes.
"Brother Astaroth... you're funny!"
Arthur froze for a second before turning toward her with exaggerated shock.
"Are you laughing at your brother, you fool?!"
Then he shouted toward Zhao Fan,
"Look what you've taught our little sister, you stupid bastard!"
Little Moon's laughter grew louder and purer than before, easing the tension that had suffocated the area only monts ago.

After so ti...
Old Man Jiu stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"I apologize for interfering in your battle, Brother Astaroth."
Arthur looked at him calmly, his anger completely gone.
"What happened has already happened."
Then he added sincerely,
"And I apologize as well. I was angry...
That bastard nearly killed my brother, which is why I behaved rudely."
Then he continued with obvious respect.
"Please forgive , Master Jiu."
Old Man Jiu smiled with satisfaction and respect before turning around and leaving with his two disciples without another word.
Only these remained behind...
Arthur, Zhao Fan, Chu Xing Qing, her disciple...
and Little Moon.
A calm silence settled over the area, carrying within it the beginning of greater things yet to be revealed.
