The Legendary Man

The Legendary Man Chapter 947-“That won’t be necessary,” Vassily said, shaking his head with a smile. “I don’t have much time left.”

Though he could not hear Jokovich, he was aware of what the latter said through his spiritual sense.

“I can no longer see nor hear. Leave me. Let me die here.”

Vassily sat quietly on the mound of soil he had excavated. Extending the reach of his spiritual sense, he savored one final look at the world.

He had never looked at a chip of gravel or a blade of grass so acutely before.

In the mud beneath the ground were motionless insects that did not appear to have survived the winter, but Vassily could feel the frailty of their pulse.

The great cultivator, famed throughout Epea, suddenly felt remorse. He regretted never taking the time to appreciate anything in the world.

Though all he could see at that moment was clearer than his eyes ever could, it no longer had any color.

“If I were a farmer like my father instead of a cultivator, I might be happier than I am now.”

Following the murmur, Vassily’s aura severed abruptly.

Seven beams of spiritual sense fell onto Vassily, searching for signs of life within him.

He no longer had a pulse. In the face of impending death, he did not struggle or lose control.

Instead, he had ended his life, choosing to leave on his own terms to preserve the final shred of dignity befitting a legend.

Jokovich turned to the cultivator who spoke beside him.

“Mr. Vassily has lived under the surveillance of Western Army, has he not? Does he have any kin?”

“No,” the one-eyed cultivator answered with a frown. “According to our records, Mr. Vassily never married, but he did have a brother who passed away a decade ago, leaving behind two nephews at Karaja Castle.”
