The Legendary Man novel Chapter 855

The Legendary Man Chapter 855-Cold sweat dripped down to the ground from the tip of Jonathan’s nose as he sat against the giant rock.

His hands were trembling slightly as he spoke. “Back in West Region, I obtained the life force capable of reviving someone. I used it all on you.”

To cover his tracks, he traveled thirty kilometers underground with Karl.

Near the journey’s end, even Spirit Rejuvenating Pill couldn’t combat Jonathan’s exhaustion, which would spell their doom if he kept pushing forward.

Karl briefly surveyed his surroundings before realizing they were somewhere south of River Onxy.

After protecting Horbah’s border for nearly twenty years, he knew the region like the back of his hand.

Upon calculating their travel distance and thinking about what Jonathan had said, Karl instantly understood what Jonathan had done.

In response, he pulled out a glass bottle and gently crushed it before handing the pills inside to Jonathan. “Here, Mr. Goldstein. here are two Spirit Rejuvenating Pills for you.”

Without even glancing at them, Jonathan grabbed the pills and tossed them into his mouth.

As the pills slipped down his throat, pure spiritual energy flooded into his energy field.

“Why did you save me, Mr. Goldstein?” While Karl wasn’t sure what the life force Jonathan mentioned was, he was sure it was extremely rare, considering it could bring him back to life.

He felt bad that something so precious was used on him—a man who deserved a death sentence.

“Why are you asking so many questions? Just appreciate the fact that you’re still alive.” As Jonathan regulated the spiritual energy in his body, he continued, “Anyway, it’s because you caused the death of one hundred thousand people. Even if you die a few hundred times, it won’t be enough to atone for your sins.”

“I know,” replied Karl hoarsely as he sat on the snow, his blank gaze aiming at the west. “The Northern Crimson Prison incident will forever haunt me. I’ll never be able to make up for the hundred thousand deaths I caused.”

Concurrently, Jonathan pulled out two bottles of whisky, popped one open, and handed it to Karl. “You had to die when you’re still alive. But once you’re dead, you can live on forever.”

Then he gulped his bottle of whisky, which instantly warmed his body up. “If you want, join Dark Special Forces and hide your identity. Once the eight families have been overthrown, you can live the life you want with Layla and Killian.”

Silently, Karl lifted his bottle and guzzled the liquid within.

After the bottle was empty, he removed a tightly sealed glass bottle from his storage ring. Inside the container was a white powder.

“What are you doing?” Upon seeing that, Jonathan grabbed Karl’s wrist.

While an ordinary person wouldn’t know what it was, Jonathan was very familiar with it.

It was the medicinal powder produced due to the failure of his alchemical research that would generate a potent corrosion effect upon contacting human blood.

Back then, he joked about how he sucked at alchemy but was great at creating poison.

To make Jonathan feel better, Dorian and the others split the powder amongst themselves, saying they could use it while destroying bodies so as not to leave any evidence behind.

Therefore, when Jonathan saw that bottle of powder in Karl’s hand, his heart lurched.
