Chapter 679 My Life Is Yours

Chapter 679 My Life Is Yours

At the end of his life, Augustus was consumed by hatred, he would have rather died on a battlefield far from here, back in the past when his glory was in bloom and the world was at his feet.

He would have chosen to die a more painful death if the child he rescued had been given a space to survive, and although the Rune Ship did not want to choose her body, Lamia had insisted, because it would slow down its recovery.

Augustus had begged for her life due to many reasons, but he could not forget the moment, towards the end, when the child had called him father. Lamia had enjoyed his pain.

There was a time when that word was meaningless to him, as worthless as everything a mortal touches. The years of pain had taught him something different, and this once mighty general who thought he was a monster, knew that in the coldness of the universe, he was nothing but a clown in the face of true evil.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

"I will kill you...."

A stab to his heart through his back made him shudder but he did not stop his actions, the Champion frowned and with a snap of his finger, the wound in Augustus' back exploded, nearly cutting him in two and it finally pushed him away, his body rolled on the ground for several dozen feet before coming to a stop.

He turned his weary head, gasping for breath as his life began to leave his wretched body, it was amazing how life clung to his body despite all the torture he had gone through.

Augustus could see the last of the Abominations falling, their bodies turned to trees, 'fitting,' he thought, 'they gave life in the end. I envy them for I created no life in my time, I only took it."

Feeling a surge of heat beside him he strained to turn and saw the air rippling as if it was steaming and a figure revealed itself.

He traced his eyes up black boots and a long toned leg, up to a beautiful face with green eyes that was looking down at him with anger and disgust,

"I know you don't I?" Augustus whispered.

His only reply would be Maeve stepping on his head and turning it to mush.

"Regolf?... Is that you?"

The shoulders of the Champion shook, before he shook his head side to side, "I was Regolf, a loyal son... I was Steisa, a beloved sister... I was Rose, a caring mother, but now I'm not, but I did not forget my oath. I greet the Handmaiden of the Lord and I submit my weapon to your care, to wield as you see fit."

Maeve was silent before asking, "

Why did you go against your creator?"

"She lost her hold over me, her Core had been taken, and this shadow no longer has the power to control me. I am here to seek refuge and to pay for the sins I have committed."

"Who took her Core, the Gods of Trion?"

Absomet coughed, "I should be able to answer that question far better than he can, you see, for I was there."

"Oh, who are you?"

"Who am I? Well, how can I say this, young woman, you should have heard my name in every corner of the Empire,"

Absomet cleared her throat, "Before you stands the Spear of Destruction, the Iron Rain, Widowmaker, Scourge of the Universe, and many more that would take hours to recite, but I can do so, if you want to hear it all... all fantastic titles if I do say so myself, and let's not forget my favorite, Baddest Metal Boss Chick, a mouthful, I know, but I was young. Okay, your eyes are changing, and you are about to attack... Here stands Absomet, the Greatest Rune Ship ever created."

"I have not heard of you," Maeve looked away from her, "Bind them, and bring them with us... including that... thing, bring her lower jawbone with you for when she needs to speak." Looking back at the Champion, her eyes softened a bit, "I trust you would not fight against this."

"My life is yours, Handmaiden."
