Chapter 39: I defeated myself

The most important thing about lying is knowing when you’ve said enough. Robb stopped talking and let the others guess the rest. Robbs knows this full well, and the script he arranged for Xuelu is about to commence.

Sure enough, when Xuelu said it, she immediately shut up and put on a “now you understand” expression.

The Baron understood. He first cried "Ah!" and then said, "I see. So the priest got angry when he saw that the ogre smashed his chapel, and anger is the source of strength for berserkers… so the cursed ruby activated, and the sealed soul of Dora Dream was released and attached to the priest. Then, Dora Dream temporarily controlled the priest's body and used his earth-shaking, powerful swordsmanship."

“You are truly wise!” Xuelu sighed, “I think that’s about correct.”

Little Yi also understood and couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah, no wonder I can feel tremendous power from this ruby. It houses the power of an ancient hero. It is truly commendable.”

“So what I found was such a powerful thing?” Robb pretended to be ignorant, “Wow, then I will be invincible. As long as I am angry, I can call him out with this ruby. I don’t have to be afraid of monsters in the future.”

Robb threw the ruby out of his hand.

The blow sobered the Baron up, clearing his mind in the process, “Oh yes, greed is a great sin. It will kill me.”

"We need to destroy it so as not to let it stay in this world to harm more people." Little Yi waved her staff and went to smash the ruby. A flash of red light appeared, followed by a dull sound. Little Yi’s staff was deflected, bounced, and fell ten yards away.
