Chapter 264: Violetta’s Final Song
Nolan raised the [Sunfall King Sword], preparing to deliver his final strike.
Just as the golden sword light gathered around the blade, a terrifying smile suddenly appeared on Violetta’s blood-covered face. "You..."
Nolan stopped.
Violetta slowly raised her head. "Do you really think this is over?"
Nolan frowned. "What?"
Violetta’s bloody fingers slowly returned to the pipa strings. "I told you..."
Her eyes had completely changed. There was no fear left in them, nor even the slightest trace of hesitation.
Only madness, hatred, and an absolute determination to drag the man before her straight into hell. "I’ll fucking kill you."
Her fingers tightened against the strings. "Even if I have to die with you."
The King Grade pipa spirit suddenly began trembling violently.
HUMMMMM!
Nolan’s expression immediately changed. "What the hell are you doing?"
Violetta ignored him. She slowly closed her eyes. A moment later, her remaining life force suddenly began burning.
BOOOM!
Blood-red energy erupted around her battered body.
Her already pale skin rapidly lost what little color remained, while strands of her long hair began turning white.
Nolan’s pupils contracted. "You’re burning your life force?!"
Violetta opened her eyes again, and a bloody smile remained on her lips. "That’s right."
Her voice was frighteningly calm. "If my life is the price needed to send you to hell..."
She gently touched the strings. "Then take every fucking year I have left."
The pipa spirit trembled even more violently.
Violetta’s blood flowed across its strings as a terrifying aura gradually spread throughout the valley.
Her fingers moved.
TRIIIIIIING!
A completely different melody echoed through the world.
[Forbidden Art - Crimson Requiem of Ten Thousand Sins]
Inside the valley, Nolan instinctively stepped backward.
For the first time since the battle began, genuine fear appeared in his eyes. "Violetta, stop this madness!"
Violetta laughed weakly. "Madness?"
Blood streamed from the corner of her lips. "You fucking taught me madness."
Her fingers struck another string.
TRIIING!
The melody no longer targeted Nolan alone. It spread outward, beyond the valley, reaching the nearby clans, sects, and towns.
Violetta’s voice quietly merged with the music. "Every man..."
Her blood-red eyes slowly swept toward Nolan. "Who looks upon a woman’s body with filthy, disgusting desire..."
Countless invisible blades formed within the melody, but these blades were not aimed at the flesh. They struck directly at the soul.
Violetta’s terrifying smile widened. "Die."
For one heartbeat...
The entire world became silent.
Then...
"AAAAAAARGH!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
"MY SOUL!"
"HELP ME!"
"AAAAARGH!"
Countless screams suddenly erupted throughout the surrounding territory.
Unfortunately, Selvara had chosen a valley relatively close to several powerful clans, sects, cities, and cultivation settlements.
The consequences were immediate. Countless men began collapsing everywhere.
Young geniuses, clan heirs, powerful elders, and even several ancient monsters whose cultivation far surpassed Violetta’s own suddenly clutched their heads in agony.
Cultivation realm seemed almost irrelevant. Hell, even some people who were widely regarded as good men died.
As long as the [Crimson Requiem of Ten Thousand Sins] judged them to meet the conditions born from Violetta’s hatred, their souls were struck without exception, no matter who they were.
Nolan suddenly screamed. "AAAAAAARGH!"
He desperately raised the [Sunfall King Sword]. "BLOCK IT!"
BOOOOM!
The King Grade sword erupted with terrifying golden power.
Layers of sword Qi surrounded Nolan, and golden barriers formed one after another.
Yet the melody simply passed through them.
TRIIIIING!
Nolan’s eyes widened. "What?!"
The sound ignored his sword qi, his golden barrier... hell, it even ignored his physical body, traveling straight into his soul. "AAAAAARGH!"
Nolan dropped heavily onto one knee.
BANG!
Blood poured from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. "No!"
He desperately clutched his head. "No! This is impossible!"
His face twisted with disbelief and terror. "I’M NOLAN VEYR!"
Golden Qi exploded wildly around him. "I’M THIS WORLD’S CHOSEN ONE!"
Violetta stared at him through blood-filled eyes. Her body was rapidly dying.
Yet seeing Nolan reduced to this miserable state seemed to give her enough strength for one final smile. "And I’m the woman you fucking ruined."
Nolan looked toward her.
Violetta’s fingers pressed against the final string. "So die... YOU FUCKING BASTARD!"
TRIIIIIIIIING!
The final note pierced Nolan’s soul.
"AAAAAAAARGH!"
His scream echoed throughout the valley. The [Sunfall King Sword] fell from his hand.
CLANG!
Nolan’s body stiffened.
His eyes remained wide with disbelief for several seconds before every trace of life disappeared from them.
Even his ridiculous protagonist luck could not save him from Violetta’s final forbidden song.
Yet Nolan’s death did not stop the [Crimson Requiem of Ten Thousand Sins].
Violetta’s remaining life force continued burning.
The melody spread farther and farther.
Screams continued echoing throughout the surrounding lands.
Families watched their talented heirs suddenly collapse without understanding what the fuck was happening.
Entire factions desperately searched for whoever was responsible.
By the time Violetta’s forbidden song finally began weakening, the entire region had already been thrown into chaos that would continue for a very long time.
Damian stared at the system movie without saying a single word.
Even the roasted nuts in his hand had been completely forgotten.
The beautiful, gentle Violetta he knew had transformed her own remaining life into one final song of execution.
She had achieved her revenge to kill Nolan. Yet her hatred had become far larger than Nolan alone.
In her final moments, she chose to punish every man who reminded her of the people who had desired her, exploited her beauty, treated women as possessions, or ruined her life simply because they wanted her body.
Damian’s expression gradually became heavy. "So this is it..."
His gaze moved across the countless corpses shown throughout the system projection. "This is why she became a villainess."
He swallowed slightly. "Damn..."
His eyes returned to Violetta.
Her body was slowly fading away as the last fragments of her life force continued fueling the terrifying [Crimson Requiem of Ten Thousand Sins].
Damian’s mouth twitched. "Even I would’ve fucking died if that thing judged me."
He fell silent for a moment. Damian was not enough of a hypocrite to pretend otherwise.
He knew exactly what kind of man he was... a shameless flirt, a hopeless beauty addict, and, most importantly, a fucking pervert.
"Yeah... there’s absolutely no fucking way I’m letting Violetta learn this. Otherwise, I’m dead."
