Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3090

Arlo gasped in shock when he heard that.

As he made eye contact with Nathan, his mind went blank, and his body was frozen in place.

The sounds around him seemed to get farther and farther away, and his vision got increasingly blurry as well.

The next thing he knew, he was standing on a river bank with lots of bright red flowers.

Huh? Where am I? What is this place?

As he glanced about, he saw a stone next to the river with the words “Stone of Lives” written on it.

That was when Arlo finally understood what was going on. The river was actually Styx, and the red flowers by the road were red spider lilies—the road he stood on was the road to the afterlife.

Suddenly, Arlo felt his heart skip a beat as the illusion around him disappeared completely.

All he saw was the bright light from Nathan's sword coming down on his head.

As much as Arlo wanted to block or dodge it, he knew it was far too late to do so.

Realizing that there was nothing he could do, Arlo closed his eyes in despair and accepted his fate.

A few seconds soon went by, but Arlo had yet to be struck by Nathan's sword.

He opened his eyes in confusion, only to see that Nathan's blade had stopped a centimeter away from his forehead.

“It looks like my Blade of Seasons is better than your Absolute Judgement. You've lost this battle!” Nathan said coldly as he sheathed his sword and walked right past Arlo.

Still in disbelief, Arlo turned around and asked, “Hey! Why didn't you finish me off?”
