The Legendary Man novel Chapter 980

The Legendary Man Chapter 980-Heaven Sword had an ancient design. With a length of three feet and three inches, the blade itself was thick and razor-sharp. It was the most standard blade design in ancient times in Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.

Mortals preferred light and agile swords due to their ability to allow humans to pull off all sorts of tricks.

Cultivators, on the other hand, were incredibly strong. Even Charleigh, a cultivator specializing in magical arcane arrays, could easily lift an item weighing over several hundred kilograms without deliberately training for it.

Hence, lightweight and agility weren’t important for cultivators.

Instead, the strengths of a cultivator’s weapon depended on the weapon’s variability and the amount of spiritual energy it could sustain.

Heaven Sword, for example, didn’t have the special ability of transformation or formation, but it could be powered by Pryncyp and kill an enemy on its own. That was why it was ranked above many weapons.

In fact, it was truly a top divine weapon.

Rather than saying that Sophia was carrying the sword, it was more like she was merely holding the hilt of the sword.

There was no way Sophia could lift something as heavy as Heaven Sword.

Jonathan looked at Heaven Sword, the weapon he had been carrying around and loved ever since he got it. Now that I look at it, there’s an inexplicable sense of rejection in my heart.

“Aunt Sophia,” Jonathan called out.

“Yes?” Sophia froze momentarily when she heard Jonathan calling for her. When she lifted her gaze toward him, she saw that his eyes were filled with anguish and pain.

Taking in his bloodshot eyes, she choked out, “What’s the matter with you, Jonathan?”

Sophia grew up with Jonathan, and she was his only relative. She knew right away Jonathan was in distress.

While caressing Jonathan’s head, she muttered, “Everything’s okay, Jonathan. No matter what happens, I’ll get through it with you. Although the Goldstein family has left Yaleview, it exists still. Apart from me, you still have your grandma and Uncle Tommy in Gronga. There are still plenty of members of the Goldstein family around. They set Daniel and you up back then for power, but they have learned their lesson. Your grandma was just asking me about you a few days ago. We’re family, and we’ll help you through this.”

Jonathan lifted his head to look at Sophia with his teary eyes. “Aunt Sophia, you guys know I’m Asura, but do you know how I got to where I am today? I had to kill! Aunt Sophia, do you know how many people I’ve killed ever since I joined the army?”

Sophia shook her head lightly. “People die when there’s war. I know you’re the founder of Asura’s Office, but even the battles in Yaleview took countless lives—”

“One million!”

Sophia shot Jonathan a blank look. “What did you say, Jonathan?”

Looking as if he had just aged a few decades, Jonathan uttered in a hoarse voice, “I said one million. Over the past three years, I’ve directly and indirectly killed over a million people. As a matter of fact, I’ve lost count of the lives I took. That’s just an estimation, but I know that the number of people I sentenced to death is definitely more than that!”

Sophia held her hands over her mouth in response. I knew Jonathan must’ve resorted to ruthless methods to get Asura’s Office to where it is within three years. However, I didn’t know so many lives were lost.

While grabbing his hair with both his hands, Jonathan said, “Aunt Sophia, I murdered a thousand people on my own during my trip to Remdik this time. In every battle, hundreds of thousands of people would die. Do you know what we call it? We say it’s an achievement! I’m only Asura today because of the one million people I killed. I wanted to end wars with violence. Yet, not only have I not ended wars, but I’ve brought even more chaos to Chanaea. The people I slaughtered lost their lives in vain because Chanaea still isn’t a better place.”

Tears were streaming down Jonathan’s cheeks as he spoke.

If the principle that a person had always held on to was to get compromised, that person would feel as though everything in their life was crumbling down.
