Female Novel
Chapter 172
‘Great, someone from the Wind Guild. Reaching the Wind Wall has just become way more difficult. | wonder if Heaven plannedso far ahead that it knew | would flee to the Wind Wall. If | guess correctly, this should be Wendy's father. This whole thing hadbeen months ago. Was Heaven able to plan this far ahead? Honestly, I'm not sure,’ Gravis thought to himself.
"If | guess correctly," Gravis said, "you should be Wendy's father, correct? | think your Guild Master has said your name before.Saron, was it?"
When Gravis had said "Wendy", a cold gleam appeared in Saron's eyes, but that was replaced by his surprise. He hadn'texpected that Gravis knew his name. He chuckled lightly. "Yes, my name is Saron. | am surprised you know it," he said casually.
“lam actually more surprised by you appearing," said Gravis. "| was sure that Wendy's goodbye-letter would have stopped youfrom going after me. That was her goal, after all. She didn't want us to become enemies."
Saron got a little confused after Gravis said that and narrowed his eyes. "There was no goodbye letter," he said.
Now, it was Gravis’ turn to be surprised. No goodbye-letter? But he had seen how Wendy nailed it to a tree. Why wouldn't heknow about this goodbye-letter? Suddenly, Gravis' eyes widened, and then they narrowed in fury. "Was this your doing again,Heaven?!" Gravis shouted aggressively at the sky.
The sky didn't react. Instead, it was Saron who reacted, by looking with shock at Gravis. Did Gravis just aggressively shout atHeaven? Was he suicidal? As they continued running, Saron looked at the sky, but nothing seemed to happen. This surprisedhim even more. What was going on? Why was Gravis still alive?
"What are you talking about?" Saron asked. His goal was killing Gravis, and he had Gravis on the palm of his hand. Graviscouldn't escape anymore, so he wasn't in a hurry to kill him.
Gravis gnashed his teeth furiously. "This fucking Heaven always tries all this shit to kill me. Wendy had nailed a goodbye-letter toa nearby tree where she explained everything about her life and her decisions. Have you not seen her body? Does her body looklike we fought?" Gravis asked.
Saron narrowed his eyes further, but he also remembered that Wendy's body was fully intact when they found it. There were alsono traces of a fight. The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. "So, what is this all about? You said my daughter hada reason for all of her actions?"
Gravis harrumphed, still annoyed at Heaven's bullshit. "Yes. Why do you think she specifically targeted me? If she just had anenmity with the Heaven Sect in general, she could have just killed some people. Instead, she specifically only insulted me. Therewas a reason why she wanted to meet me, and she told me all the things she kept inside. She never wanted to kill me. Shewanted to die to me!"
Saron's eyes violently shone. "Lies!" he shouted, and the wind blew Gravis’ hair away, but nothing more. "I would know aboutthis! | am her father!"
"It was because you were her father that she didn't tell you. She didn't want to hurt you with everything that happened to her. Youprobably know about her husband from the Outer-Continent, yes?"
Saron was surprised when Gravis said that. How did Gravis know about Wendy's husband from the Outer-Continent? Did theyactually talk? Saron suppressed his rage and just nodded.
“Alright, let me tell you about everything that happened to her and the thoughts that plagued her in her life," Gravis said.
Gravis narrated all of Wendy's experiences at that point. He told those things with as much detail as possible to get more timewhile running. He couldn't trust that this would deter Saron. He had to make this story as long as possible.
It took over 40 minutes until Gravis finished the story. By now, Saron looked crestfallen at the rapidly moving ground below him.This whole thing hurt him immensely. He had thought that Wendy had recovered from her loss. There were also a lot of things hehadn't known about.
He didn't know that the Heaven Sect had killed Wendy's husband. He also didn't know that Wendy wanted to take revenge onHeaven. When she went out to temper herself, he thought that she had realized that strength was the most important thing. Hehadn't realized that this was all so that she could take revenge on Heaven.
Deep inside, Saron felt incredible guilt. He felt like he had failed as a father. In his mind, it had been his duty to protect hisdaughter from harm. How bad would a father have to screw-up so that his daughter wanted to kill herself?
That Wendy didn't feel a single thing when he hugged her had hit him especially hard. Was her life so miserable that nothingcould've helped her? Yes, her love had died, but that happened to a lot of people. It was the biggest hit emotionally if one's life-partner died, but most people managed to recover. On top of that, Wendy also had condensed her Will-Aura. She should havebeen able to recover.
They flew for another five minutes in silence until Saron regained some of his bearings. "So, Wendy saw her opportunity to takerevenge on Heaven in you? That's why she entrusted everything to you?"
Gravis nodded. "Yes, she had noticed how | insulted Heaven, yet still lived. You've also seen me insult it some time ago. Do youthink that if | were any other person, | would still be alive right now?"
For Saron, it would have been hard to believe such an outlandish claim. Yet, he had seen how Gravis had insulted Heaven forhimself. Another thing was also that Gravis knew too much about Wendy. By now, Saron believed Gravis that there should havebeen a goodbye-letter. Everything made sense. The only open question was why Gravis was able to insult Heaven without dying.Gravis hadn't told him about that.
Saron took a deep, emotional sigh. "Would you mind telling me how you can insult Heaven like this? Can you help others to dothe same?" he asked. He tried to control the emotions in his voice, but his eyes gave him away. Deep in his heart, he startedhating Heaven, just like Wendy. It was not fair what happened to Wendy. Her husband had managed to survive against all odds,yet Heaven had executed him.
If something like this happened to someone else, one wouldn't care much about Heaven's unfairness. This was just how thingsworked. Yet, if it happened to oneself, the whole matter would change. Heaven hadn't treated Wendy fairly, and Saron wouldn'tforgive Heaven for this injustice!
Gravis was about to answer Saron but stopped when he looked at him. Heaven had noticed what was going on, and all ofSaron's karmic luck had vanished just now. Heaven had realized that Saron was its enemy. If this enmity with Heaven had beencreated by Saron himself, or by talking with anyone else, Heaven might not have noticed. Unfortunately, all of Heaven's attentionwas on Gravis’ situation right now, and therefore, also on Saron.
Gravis could only sigh when he noticed this. "Heaven has noticed your hatred and just stole all your karmic luck," Gravis saidemotionlessly.
Saron's eyes widened in disbelief. It stole all his karmic luck? How was this possible? How would that even work?novelbin
Gravis didn't wait for Saron to answer and continued. "I can see the karmic luck of others because | am the only human withoutit. Without karmic luck, you will meet one calamity after another, but that is not a sure death sentence. If you manage to surviveall these calamities, you might become stronger than you have ever imagined since your life will always be in danger. All thesecalamities, though dangerous and frustrating, increased my strength to its current level."
Saron looked solemn, but after awhile, he only bitterly laughed. "Whata joke. | have served teu fgrever200 year: and ravers vated manytdlehte disciples, yet it threw meaway just like this. You know, ifanyone else said this, | wouldn'tbelieve them, but you have proventhat you are special." The content ison NovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
Saron laughed bitterly again. "Calamities and tempering? | am already over 200 years old. | have long given up on the path topower. Who knew that my life would end like this?"
Gravis actually felt a little guilty inside. Yes, Saron had wanted to kill him, but he was also the father of the person who hadhelped him the most, except for Gorn. This whole thing was destined to be a tragedy. If Gravis didn't tell Saron, then Saron wouldkill Gravis.
If Gravis told Saron, then Saron would die. They didn't have to fight since the beginning. If Saron had known Wendy's thoughts,this whole situation wouldn't have happened. Heaven had moved two pawns to each other and forced them to fight. There hadnever been a right way out of this situation.
"You know," Gravis said, "if | didn't tell you all of this, you would still have your karmic luck, and you would be able to live your lifein peace."
Saron looked at Gravis with pity andsighed. "It's alright. If you didn't tellme what happened, | would havenever understood the r. asan behindWendy gdepin aliihyou didn't tell
You would already be dead bynow. You don't need to regret tellingme. | loved my daughter dearly, and |am happy dying with this newfoundknowledge. My remaining life wouldhave been bitter anyway. | guess | amjust collateral damage between yourwar with Heaven." The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
Gravis still felt a little bad aboutdooming Saron. This whole thinghadn't been necessary, This whoreec smite need forpbwel ‘ Heaven could only play themlike this because it was stronger thaneveryone else.

Gravis stopped running. He was incredibly close to the Wind Wall, and he would only need to run for a minute more to reach it.Yet, the fight had ended before it even began. There was no need to enter the Wind Wall.
Suddenly, Gravis got an idea.
“Are you up for a trade?"
