Chapter 697 Their Gift Even In Death
Lenny's resolve wavered, his fingers twitching with the need to feel her, to confirm the reality of her presence, to assure himself that this wasn't just another illusion in a game that had toyed with his mind and soul.
The Magistri watched with an unreadable smile, aware of the turmoil inside Lenny. This was the moment of truth, the climax the audience had been waiting for. Would Lenny choose the magical power he had fought so hard to win, or would he choose the love that had eluded him, the chance at a life he had barely dared to dream of?You'll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★
Lenny's mind raced, the decision tearing at him. Choosing Catherine meant more than just a touch; it was a step into a future he had lost once before. It meant embracing a part of himself he had been forced to lock away, the part that dared to love, to hope, to dream of a life beyond the constant fight for survival.
Yet the game had taught him the harshness of consequences, the price that came with every choice. What would be the cost of this one? What would he be giving up, and what would he be gaining? The answers eluded him, lost in the storm of his emotions.
As he stood there, his hand trembling, his heart battling his mind, Lenny knew that whatever he chose, his life would be irrevocably changed. The oasis before him beckoned, a promise of life and love, but the desert of his past, with all its pain and struggle, still clung to him, a reminder of who he was and what he had been through.
As Glenn approached, her presence added another layer of complexity to Lenny's already tumultuous emotions. Her ginger red hair, seeming to have a life of its own, and her deep dark eyes that held stories of both joy and pain, captured him just as much as Catherine's gentle grace. Glenn represented a different aspect of love – fierce, protective, and self-sacrificing. Her beauty wasn't just in her appearance but in her strength, her courage, and her willingness to put Lenny's life above her own.
Lenny's mind replayed their shared moments – the battle they fought side by side, the quiet times when they found solace in each other's company, and the heart-wrenching moment of her sacrifice. Glenn's decision to use her last breath and her magical energy to save him was etched deeply in his heart. It was an act of love so profound that it transcended the boundaries of life and death.
It was also at this time that Lenny heard the embryonic voice of the satan system.
<THE ORB! THE ORB!!>
"Huh!?"
The embryonic soul suddenly became excited, <Finally, You can hear me! I have been trying to talk to you, but you did not answer or respond>
It was only now that lenny realized that he had been so captivated by both women that his mind had totally drowned out everything, both externally and internally.
lenny raised his eyes to them, "Thank you!" he muttered to both Glenn and Catherine.
Once more, even in death, these two had lend him a hand again.
Meanwhile, the magistri stood frozen by this....
