Chapter 397: Who Nue Really Was

“How do you know that?” Nue couldn’t believe his ears.
How did he know his secret? Nue didn’t think he had revealed anything! How was it possible?
“I can see an inferior technique from miles away. Do you really think this skill will make you invincible? You’re so lost that you’ve bewitched your own mind. How are you going to put a spell on other people when you’re not in control of your own thoughts?” Himmel Soan stated the truth.
Nue felt a hammer pounding on his chest.
Seeing this, Toch pleaded, “Mr. Himmel Soan, Nue didn’t mean to say that. Please forgive him!”
Himmel Soan was perplexed. “Why are you pleading for him after what he did to you?”
“No matter how he has treated me, he’s still Nue. That won’t change. Moreover, you said he was only bewitched by the spell. I’m sure the idea he has is only a result of the spell!
“I can forgive him for what he did. Please spare his life!” Toch almost dropped to his knees. In fact, he wanted to, but Himmel Soan held him by the arm, stopping him from kneeling.
Himmel Soan sighed. “He already had those ideas before he was bewitched. The spell only magnified it.
“Nue has always wanted to kill Oech and me. That’s why he got lost. “If I spare him, he’ll try to finish his task later.”
What…
How was that possible?
Toch heard every word, but he didn’t understand what Himmel Soan meant. He couldn’t imagine why Nue, who had always been Oech’s friend, wanted to kill him.
Why?!
“That’s right. I’ve always wanted to kill Oech! If it hadn’t been for him, my brother would never have died! Oech could have saved my brother, but he didn’t! We had to watch my brother get eaten by that beast!”
Tears welled up in Nue’s eyes as he laughed. He had buried those words in his heart for so many years and could finally say them aloud.
Toch immediately recalled what happened back then. He was there and saw the whole thing.
“You still remember that day. Oech wasn’t capable enough to save your brother, and you know that. Didn’t you forgive him? Why couldn’t you move on? Your brother was killed by the beast, not Oech! How can you blame everything on him?!” Toch coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He couldn’t live for much longer, and the agitation only worsened his health. He coughed out blood.
Nue saw it but didn’t say a word.
“Enough talking! I have to kill Oech!” Nue also spat out a mouthful of blood because of the pressure Himmel Soan put on him. If it were a little higher, he would have been crushed.
“I want to spare him, but his mind is corrupted. Even I can’t treat him. No matter what you say, he’ll never listen,” Himmel Soan explained to the others.
Nue said, “You call me crazy, but you’re the crazy one! Do you really think everybody’s going to believe you?
“Wake up! They all have eyes, and they all know which of us is crazy!”
That was the bewitching spell!
Nue had used it again. The timing was just perfect. Ordinary people would have been put under his spell, and things would have escalated. However, with Himmel Soan here, he wouldn’t let the man have his way.
“That’s an interesting spell. The real Nue is dead, isn’t he? You’ve occupied his mind.”
The others were astonished.
The real Nue was dead? Then who was this man? When and where did the real Nue die?
“What are you talking about?” Nue panicked, but he wouldn’t admit to what Himmel Soan said.
“In that case, I’ll show you the truth.” Energy burst out of Himmel Soan, and there suddenly were streaks of red smoke in the air. They were the bewitching spell!
It seemed to be connected to the purple smoke on Earth.
“What’s that red smoke?”
“Is it a toxic gas?”
“Of course not. If it were toxic, you would be dead already.”
“Look! There’s some on you, too!”
“Where did it come from? Why didn’t we notice it before?”
“Look! The red smoke seems to be from Nue!”
“That’s impossible! How can it come from Nue? Wait, I think it’s true!”
The villagers couldn’t believe their eyes. They frowned and couldn’t accept this man as Nue.
He was filled with red smoke. They couldn’t even tell if it was a person. The man was a skeleton, and the red smoke was his flesh.
Was that Nue?
“What’s happening?” Somebody felt sick and covered their mouth.
The other people also looked stunned. This was Nue. He looked like a different person.
“Mr. Soan, who is this?” Toch asked.
“He’s what Nue really looks like. You were all put under the spell. That’s why you couldn’t see his real appearance. I’ve extracted the red smoke so that you can see reality,” said Himmel Soan.
