Nicole, who was held in Claire's hand, started crying and twitching, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
And Daren, who was stepped on by Claire, felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard the cry, but the strength gap was there, and he couldn't do anything at all.
A trace of pity flashed in Daren's eyes, and he looked at Claire and begged in a low voice, "Please, let Nicole go. You can do whatever you want to me, but please let her go."
Hearing Daren begging for Claire in such a low voice, Nicole also stopped crying and looked at Daren on the ground with a bewildered face. Daren always looked like a leader among ten thousand people. She had never seen her grandfather look so humble, and it was all because of her.
"Grandpa, don't beg him! I'm not afraid of death!"
Ignoring Nicole's words, Daren continued to plead, "You can destroy her magic power and make her an ordinary person. Then she will no longer be a threat to you."
"Let her go? It's not impossible. I'll let her go if I give her something that makes my heart beat. As for destroying her magic power, there's no need. Even if I stop and wait for her, she will never be my opponent in this life."
Daren looked tangled for a moment, then thought of the thing in his hand, and then responded, "Okay, I have something that you will definitely be interested in."
Claire smiled and said, "That is of course the best."
"But before I hand it over to you, I hope to explain something to Nicole. I'll give it to you after I finish speaking. I promise not to break my promise."
Hearing these familiar words, Claire's expression was slightly moved, and he smiled and said, "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me, but this request is not too much. I can let you say a few words to her."
After saying that, Claire lifted the foot that was pressing down on Daren's chest, put one foot on the ground and slowly flew backwards from the pit, finally landing on the edge outside the pit, watching Daren's movements with interest.
Without the restraint of Claire, Nicole, who had gained control of her body, pounced on Daren. However, she hesitated when her bodies were about to come into contact because she saw the scars all over Daren's body and was afraid that this pounce would cause pain to Daren.
So he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it, but he was still afraid of hurting him. Daren remained stagnant in mid-air. Tears couldn't help but flow out of his eyes. He choked and said, "Grandpa, I..."
Daren stood up with his hands on his body. Seeing Nicole in this state, he felt very distressed. After rubbing his dirty thumb on his clothes, he quickly scraped the tears from Nicole's eyes, but the more he scraped, the more tears came out of Nicole's eyes.
"Woooooooooo! Grandpa, I'm sorry..." Nicole said incoherently. She didn't know what she was sorry for. Maybe she shouldn't have come, maybe she shouldn't have explored those ruins. At this moment, she finally understood what Daren said before. The most important thing in a person's life is life. If there is no life, then there is really nothing.
"Silly boy, why are you crying?" Daren touched Nicole's head distressedly. He had mixed feelings in his heart, but now is not the time to be sad. Daren cheered up and pressed Nicole's shoulders hard, "You must listen to what I tell you next!"
"I..." Nicole didn't dare to agree, because she knew that Daren was giving her last words, and she didn't want to hear them.
"Promise first!" Daren's tone became stern.
Nicole endured the grief and nodded vigorously, "Okay! I will be obedient!"
Daren's expression also softened, and he touched Nicole's little head lovingly, "I know, Nicole has been the most obedient since he was a child."
As his fingers rubbed Nicole's hair, Daren felt a surge of sadness in his heart. This was probably the last time he could touch Nicole's head.
"Here's what I want to tell you. You must remember that I will be very unhappy if you disobey it, and you don't want to see me angry."
"I will!" Nicole nodded vigorously.
"First, after I die, don't think about avenging me. I came to snatch people's Cultivation Method, and I deserve to be killed. So no matter what, don't think about avenging me!"
"Grandpa..." Nicole was speechless.
"Did you hear that?" Daren's tone suddenly became serious.
"I heard it..." Nicole's tone was still so weak.
Daren's expression was still serious, and he said in a strong tone, "Repeat what I just said! Louder!"
"After grandpa's death, don't think about revenge!" Nicole felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife when he said this.
Of course Daren knew how uncomfortable Nicole was, but in order for Nicole to survive well in the future, he could only force Nicole to agree. After all, the person who killed him was Antonio. As he just said, even if he stays where he is, Nicole will be wanted to surpass him in his life. If Nicole insists on taking revenge, he will only end up dead.
"Okay." Daren retracted his hand and took a few steps back. He took a deep look at Nicole's whole body, trying to remember all the details of her figure in his mind.
This girl, when did she grow up so big? Why in my memory is she still a kid chasing after her for candy?
"One last thing, Nicole will be happy when I'm not around." When Daren finished saying this, he couldn't help but shed tears.
After saying that, Daren suddenly turned up snake scales on half of his arms and turned into a beast again. He grabbed Nicole's clothes and threw his arm out of the pit, throwing Nicole away from Claire. At the same time, he shouted, "Go!"
Claire: "Huh?"
This move made Claire a little unable to react, but he didn't catch up. He could catch up but it was not necessary.
Seeing that Claire did not chase after him, Daren also breathed a sigh of relief. This also meant that Claire sincerely wanted to let Nicole survive.
"You don't seem to believe me?" Claire floated in front of Daren again.
"Sorry, it was a helpless move."
"Okay, take your stuff out."
"Okay."
Daren fumbled and took out something from his arms. The moment he took it out, Claire's eyes were attracted by it and his mouth opened slightly. The thing Daren took out was a stone, which was the same as the stone he got from Kelly, with the same strange runes on it.
That trace of surprise only flashed across Claire's eyes, and Claire's expression returned to calm and asked, "What is this?"
Daren raised the stone and explained, "This is a treasure I got in my early years. It has a huge and vast space, and it can also affect the surrounding space."
"I have done some research on it. There is nothing special about that stone. The key lies in the rune on it. The source of power comes from it."
"I studied it for a long time later, but I didn't come up with anything useful. However, I did have some understanding of its use. It can be stored in living creatures, and it can also affect space more easily..."
"I just saw that you were using Spatial Power. This should be suitable for you."
If Daren hadn't seen Claire lock Vance with Spatial Power just now, he would have used this stone to escape. Although he is not good at this aspect of witchcraft, if he has this stone in hand, he can also perform short-distance Spatial Teleportation, but Claire's space blockade shattered his last hope.
Claire took the stone from Daren's hand and looked at it carefully. He was not interested in Spatial Power, but in the runes on it.
"Did you rely on it to summon the giant snake with your hand?" Claire raised the stone in his hand and shook it.
