Chapter 396: Death of D. Spedo?
Things have evolved to this point and are heading in a rather strange direction.
Hayato Gokudera, Takeshi Yamamoto, Juri Kato and Rambo, who were released from the illusion space due to the sudden conflict, looked at the scene happening in front of them with dumbfounded and stunned.
The lady who always smiled brightly in front of them still had a gentle smile on her face, looking like snow just melting on a sunny day, but...
"It's terrible... I guess we didn't provoke Miss Elena..." A drop of cold sweat appeared on Yamamoto Takeshi's forehead.
"Probably not... If it weren't for our different perspectives, I'd have some sympathy for D. Spedo," Gokudera Hayato muttered softly. "He looks so miserable."
"Haha, but D. Spedo is really strong!" Yamamoto Takeshi said, "I don't dare to confront Tsuna with this move without any preparation!"
"Never mind him, he looks so miserable, it's enough to make me laugh my ass off!" Kato Juli scratched his head and laughed.
Seeing this man who had fooled their Simon family around so much become so miserable, for some reason his mood suddenly became cheerful.
"Coal, coke!" Rambo laughed.
Just now, after Elena used her shield to wrap up Guli Enzhen and said those words, Sawada Tsunayoshi no longer had any concerns and launched a powerful attack towards D. Spedo and Guli Enzhen.
However, the □□ belonging to Rokudo Mukuro, controlled by D. Spedo, was equally powerful. Even after suffering such an attack, he still survived - except that he looked a little embarrassed.
D. Spedo looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had lost most of his strength but was still looking over here, not far away. He was so angry that he glared at him fiercely.
"I'm sure it hurt you, D, but... I'm sure you'll understand." Elena gently helped D. Spedo up and gave him some simple treatment. Then, with a touched look in his eyes, she said to Sawada Tsunayoshi, "You don't have to show any mercy, Tsunayoshi."
"The lesson D is receiving now is completely what he deserves. A few more beatings won't hurt."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Uh... Actually, I didn't hold back, Miss Elena."
And...that's Mukuro's body, not D. Spedo's!
D. Spedo: “…”
D. Spedo: “!!!”
"Elena, I..." D. Spedo stretched out his hand to stop him, but then he thought of something, his face turned pale, he lowered his head, took his hand back, and remained silent.
"What a scheming man, trying to gain favor with such a common trick? Boring." Rokudo Mukuro sneered disdainfully, unable to bear to watch D. Spedo's behavior.
This guy is just pretending! Ha, a guy who uses his body to deceive women!
"Lord Mukuro, you..." Chrom seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Humph, no wonder you're familiar with it, Mukuro." Reborn looked up, "I remember you pretended to be like this to deceive Tsuna at the beginning, right?"
"Kufufufu... that was just a necessary means to achieve my goal." Rokudo Mukuro flapped his wings, showing no remorse for his actions. Instead, he narrowed his eyes with a hint of complacency. "Being deceived by my appearance is Sawada Tsuna's own problem, not mine."
Chrom: “…”
I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that the BOSS is a bit miserable...
"That's true." Unexpectedly, Reborn did not refute, "If he hadn't been deceived by your appearance, Tsuna wouldn't always be thinking about you guys."
"...Hmph, that's just the kind of guy he is." Rokudo Mukuro, choked by Reborn's words, stopped on Chrom's shoulder and closed his eyes.
Under the current circumstances, he couldn't fight anymore. He still had to think about how he was going to get his body back after this was over.
But... maybe I don't need to figure it out myself.
Rokudo Mukuro opened one eye, glanced in the direction of the blonde woman, and then slowly closed it again.
…
…
While Reborn was talking to Rokudo Mukuro, the situation on the other side changed again.
With his former lover reappearing, D. Spedo, who had completely lost the will to fight, was doomed to defeat. For some unknown reason, he simply admitted defeat, declaring the victory of the Tenth Vongola Family.
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "That's great, Enma!"
Gu Liyanzhen: "That's great, Tsuna-kun!"
At the moment when Tsunayoshi Sawada helped Enshin Guri up, the emotions that overflowed from the two of them caused the Vongola Sky Ring and the Simon Ring to resonate.
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "This is... huh?"
Gu Li Yan Zhen: "The ring, the ring actually detached itself!"
The two of them said in unison, extremely shocked: "After they merged into one, the flames also merged into one?!"
"That's the Flame of the Oath." The Avengers stepped forward, their voices filled with a barely perceptible nostalgia as they spoke, "We've finally waited for this moment."
Reborn: "You seem to know something, Avengers."
The Avenger took out a ring and said slowly, "Time flies. The wills of the Vongola family and the Simon family have finally been united again. According to the agreement..."
"We will give you the last key entrusted to you by Giotto and Simon Cozart."
…
…
"What a joke! If that's the case, then I've been toyed with by these two the entire time!" D. Spedo complained. "Giotto... Cozart... these two are truly more ruthless than the other!"
One saw all of his plans, but didn't expose them, instead allowing himself to instigate Vongola II's rise to power. The other was willing to give up the Simon family's position in the other world, even taking the blame, and come to this remote place...
D. Spedo: "What the hell is this..."
Did they anticipate from the very beginning what he had put so much effort into?
"D, don't let your obsession block your eyes anymore." Elena looked at D. Spedo, whose emotions fluctuated wildly after learning the truth, and gently hugged him.
"Elena..." D. Spedo froze for a moment, then tried to hug back. However, after remembering that this body did not belong to him but to Rokudo Mukuro, he abandoned it without hesitation and chose to respond to this hug that he had not felt for a long time with the warlock's most precious soul.
Seeing this scene, Six Paths Corpse Owl, who was watching with one eye open, twitched his mouth, but still took this opportunity to quickly pick up his body - with the help of Chrom.
"I'm sorry... Elena... I'm really sorry..." D. Spedo buried his head tightly in Elena's shoulder, with a faint cry, his soul occupying the body. This sorcerer who has survived since the era of Vongola I, at this moment, his fragility and pain are clearly visible.
"If I could arrive faster, faster at that time after receiving the distress signal... I could... no, I could definitely save you!" At the end, he was already sobbing.
This was the thing he regretted most in his life. From that day on, all the good memories of the past turned into poison mixed with honey, which supported him through these long and dark days while also making his heart full of holes.
"You know very well that it wasn't your fault, nor was it Giotto's fault." Elena looked at D. Spedo, tears also flashing in her eyes. "Although I wasn't at the family meeting at that time, if I had known Giotto's decision, I think I would have supported him."
"Giotto... Humph, I can't forgive him! He made that decision, but he has to pay the price with your life. Why?!"
"No, in the final analysis, the person I can't forgive the most is myself..."
D. Spedo's tone was filled with pain, sadness, regret and resentment, but it was hard to tell whether this resentment was directed more at Giotto or himself.
"It seems that there is a past that we are not aware of." Reborn said.
His guess turned out to be correct. Although there were still many details that could not be filled in, the cause of the huge rift between the first generation of the Mist Lord D. Spedo and the first generation of the Vongola Giotto was the death of Ms. Elena!
"It doesn't matter if I tell you now." D. Spedo sneered, "Giotto and the others and I haven't always been in such a state of opposition. In fact, I loved the Vongola family more than anyone else back then."
“Although I am a noble, I believe that people without status but with excellence belong at the center of the world.”
"By chance, I met and fell in love with Elena, who shared the same ideals as me. She was like my sun and moon. With her introduction, I met Giotto, joined the Vongola, and devoted myself to his development."
"But Giotto did something that I cannot forgive and will cause him lifelong suffering!" D. Spedo frowned, as if recalling some painful memory. "He reduced his forces, was attacked, and then..."
"There is no sun in my world anymore."
**
"I hate the weak Vongola because it caused the people I love to leave. That's why I work so hard to build a stronger Vongola."
"For this, I will pay any price, even if it means getting stained with blood!"
"Could it be that Miss Elena is doing this because of this incident...?!" Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the blonde woman next to D. Spedo in shock and murmured.
Elena: "I have no memory of that time."
What Elena said made Reborn's eyes move.
This was different from the information she had told herself before. Was it to reassure D. Spedo?
"Really? That's fine. It's not something worth remembering." D. Spedo smiled. "I just want you to be happy, dear."
"His Death Flame is disappearing at a very slow pace."
Rokudo Mukuro, having returned to his body, sat up with difficulty and pointed out D. Spedo's abnormality. "It seems that Sawada Tsunayoshi's attacks did cause considerable damage. And now he has abandoned his body and chosen to use his soul to directly contact the harmonizing death flame surrounding the woman... He will die soon."
Perhaps this was also due to the fact that this man had long cherished a wish... He was truly a persistent fellow, his obsession even shocked himself.
"But... they just reunited..." Chlom felt a little reluctant as he looked at the lovers who had been separated for hundreds of years.
"Don't be soft-hearted. Sympathy for the enemy is cruelty to yourself, Chrom." Rokudo Mukuro said, but he still moved calmly to block the girl's sight.
"Being able to see the real you again is enough."
Elena looked at D. Spedo's real and fake soul, clenched her fists, and said, "You have been through a lot, D. In order to build a more powerful Vongola, you have done many wrong things and killed many people. This is your sin, and it is also my sin."
"No, this has nothing to do with you...!"
"You and I are one, D. I will shoulder my responsibilities."
"I still believe that the Vongola family was created to protect the weak. But..." Even though she was almost out of reach, Elena caressed her lover's face with a smile on her face, just like when they first met. "Thank you for remembering me for so long, D."
"Thank you... for living on for me, even though it was so difficult."
"I will always love you..."
"Elena... Every day since I lost you, I regret it all the time..." D. Spedo clenched the golden pocket watch in his hand and murmured, "But it's so wonderful to see you again..."
"I will always love you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the place where D. Spedo was became blank, leaving only the gold pocket watch of the same model as the one on Elena's neck, which he treasured like a treasure - he disappeared completely.
I don't know who asked this question.
"D. Spedo, is he really, dead?"
