Chapter 388 Inner Demons, Self-Redemption

The coldest place – Longji Snow Mountain.

Trial Space - Cold

As the biting wind continued to buffet him, Nibelungen, with a stern face, steadied his steps and walked steadily toward the trial center amidst the swirling icy mist.

"The biting cold is like a howling torrent, terrifying to behold. But if it is my trial, what difficulty is there?"

Having said that, the Nibelungen slammed its foot into the ground, and the next moment, it leaped up and punched the sky, attempting to break through the clouds and see the sun again.

With Nibelungen's physique, even with just his physical strength, he could gain the upper hand in a battle against a demon god of Oser's caliber.

After sensing the powerful aura emanating from the Nibelungen Fist, the clouds and mist suddenly parted, and the entire trial grounds were instantly restored to light.

Just as Nibelungen landed steadily, before it could even observe its surroundings, countless icicles suddenly pierced the earth and surrounded it.

Although the icicles were quickly shattered by Nibelungen, fine icy mist still seeped into Nibelungen's body through his pores.

"This is……"

After feeling a strong chill, Nibelungen gritted his teeth and sealed the blood vessels in his wrist to prevent the cold from penetrating further, but at the cost of his fist becoming necrotic.

"Give up...give up..."

Just as Nibelungen came to his senses, hundreds of shadowy figures formed of ice mist surrounded him and began to brainwash him.

"Extremely noisy!"

Enraged, Nibelungen rose up in a rage, and after a barrage of punches, he carved a path and, guided by his senses, found the Trial Master hiding behind the iceberg.

“Give up, Nibelungen, your people are tired of their lord.”

"Do not bewitch people."

Before he could finish speaking, Nibelungen kicked him.

However, the lord was just a phantom and was completely unharmed.

"Have you forgotten? The seven ancient dragons followed you without hesitation, entrusting their lives to you, yet you suffered defeat after defeat, unable even to protect your own territory and people. When all the dragons needed you most, you brought darkness and calamity. What harm will you inflict on the dragon race, which has finally managed to stabilize?"

Upon hearing this, Nibelungen felt a sharp pain in its heart. It paused for a moment, and the light in its eyes became unfocused.

"I am your inner demon. Look at everything you've done. You can't even take care of yourself, so how can you possibly save the dragon race?"

After a moment of silence, the lord continued to deliver the finishing blow.

"Hehe... Hahahaha—! Although I no longer call myself king, how can your words shake my feelings for the dragon race? Even if they no longer acknowledge me, this time, I will face my mistakes and make amends to the entire world."

"To make amends or to cause further harm, that is the question. You are the one who brings trouble, so stop making things worse for the world. Your so-called facing your mistakes is just wishful thinking. No one will forgive your sins. Stop it."

Upon hearing this, Nibelungen stopped breathing, as if he had been greatly shocked.

"See? You know your own limitations. I've hit the nail on the head."

"nonsense."

"What did you say?"

"Apep, what a brave and fearless warrior. Ruoduo, what a powerful figure who can stand alone, and so many more dragon descendants who continue to thrive. Everyone's eyes are filled with longing for a bright future, but you, you numb yourself with self-destructive words and pin your hopes on others. You are unworthy of being the Dragon King. Since you think my existence is unnecessary, then... disappear!"
