I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 423

Baryl continued, “Simon may seem peculiar, but his intentions towards you are genuine. Do you understand why he took off his ring earlier but then put it back on?”

Mauve glanced at Baryl, her eyes wet with tears. “Why?”

Baryl explained, “This ring is a treasure. Simon initially wanted to leave it with you, but he decided to take it back out of concern. He didn't want the ring to inadvertently bring you any trouble or danger.”

Hearing that, Mauve burst into tears.

She sobbed for a while before wiping her tears dry and getting to her feet. Without hesitation, she ran out and headed toward Heavenly Cave.

Simon thought he was doomed.

When he woke up, the sun was up.

To be exact, it was two in the afternoon.

Simon discovered he was lying in Baryl's bed. There was a glass skylight on the roof, allowing the sunlight to stream into the room.

Through the sunlight, one could see the dust floating everywhere.

There was dust everywhere in this world, and with every breath they took, everyone would unknowingly inhale particles of dust. However, the dust was barely visible to the naked eye.

Right now, Simon could see the dust clearly.

He sat up abruptly and realized his body was nursed back to health. The golden king silkworm in his body had disappeared, along with the poison.

He felt free, relaxed, and strong again.

He was no longer restrained and could do whatever he wanted.

Simon let out a loud roar before he jumped off the bed and ran out of Baryl's house.

At the mountain's summit, Simon dashed out, his eyes fixed on the majestic expanse of mountains before him. The warm sunlight embraced his body.

He could feel the exhilarating surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins, a sensation he had been missing for far too long.

He had been frustrated for too long.

However, Simon's delight didn't last for long. He suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why did my poison get cured suddenly? Did Marlington King finally take action?

That thought merely served to increase Simon's confusion.

He had only met Marlington King once, but he knew the latter well.

No one could make the king change his mind.

However, Marlington King ended up saving me. What made him change his mind? Also, where is Mauve?

Simon's confusion heightened.

Right then, Baryl stepped out of his neighbor's house with a bowl of medicinal broth.

Simon turned to look at Baryl, who gave him the bowl. “Eat up. This will aid in your recovery.”

Instead of accepting the bowl, Simon said, “I've recovered completely, so I won't be needing this.” He paused before asking, “What exactly happened? Where is Mauve?”

Baryl gazed at him and replied, “Some things are best kept a secret. Since you've recovered, you should leave.”

As Simon's breath grew heavy, a realization struck him. The sudden recovery he experienced must have been connected to Mauve.

Marlington King, who initially refused to assist him, eventually intervened. It became clear to Simon that Mauve must have made a sacrifice to influence the king's decision and ensure his recovery.

Simon's eyes turned red as he felt a stab of pain in his heart. It felt that he had traveled back in time to the summer when Olive died in front of his eyes.

He couldn't save her back then, so he refused to let Mauve sacrifice this time.

Ignoring Baryl, he made his way to Heavenly Cave.

“Simon!” Baryl called after him. He quickly ran forward to block Simon's path.

“Move!” Simon snapped coldly.

Baryl explained, “You'll never make it inside. Mauve has sacrificed a lot for you, so don't make her sacrifices go to waste.”












































































“What did she sacrifice?” Simon demanded.

Baryl's eyes dimmed. He looked up and disclosed, “Mauve has made an agreement with Marlington King to become the perpetual Holy Maiden of Sacred Maiden Cave. She has pledged never to venture beyond the cave's boundaries, dedicating herself to preserving her purity and providing her blood as sustenance for the holy king silkworm. This was the condition set forth for his intervention to ensure your rescue.”

Simon's body trembled when he learned the truth. Gritting his teeth, he declared, “I must take her away with me.”

Baryl made a desperate attempt to sway him, “Don't be stupid. Marlington King and his followers aren't formidable solely due to their cultivation abilities. It's their parasitic skills that make them truly terrifying. By entering the cave, you're only inviting doom upon yourself. Furthermore, even if you were to die, Mauve would still be condemned to eternal imprisonment, tasked with sustaining the holy king silkworm. Isn't it unbearably cruel to subject her to such a fate?”

Simon's eyes reddened as he retorted, “Are you oblivious to her tender age? She's being forced into a lifetime of seclusion all for the sake of a wretched Parasite King. How could we tolerate such cruelty? Humans are above all beings, and yet she is expected to sacrifice herself for a mere parasite?”

“But Marlington King doesn't think that way,” Baryl replied. “It was consensual. You've been saved, so Mauve must keep her word.”

Simon remained resolute, his determination was unwavering. “I will not abandon her. Even if it costs me my life, I will rescue her,” he declared firmly. With a forceful shove, he pushed Baryl aside and dashed toward Heavenly Cave as swiftly as a lightning bolt.

There weren't many things Simon cared about.

When he was nine, he was forced to kill Coco, his pet bulldog.

When he was eighteen, he watched Olive die after getting gang raped.

Every time something like that happened, he could only watch on as there was nothing he could do.
