Chapter 199 Glory is only temporary, but Nazumang stands forever!

——"Alas! The two of them together have a chance to defeat this monster!"

——"That's right! As long as we slowly study its weaknesses, they have already got the armor and skin of the python lion beast, right?"

——"I understand this. To put it bluntly, Quesanti is just too proud!"

——"Indeed, he feels that only one person can be considered a hero if he defeats this monster!"

——"But even the ancestor he worshipped did not fight alone when he came to Nazumang!"

I have to say that Quesanti's performance was indeed surprising.

Even in the end, he parted ways with his former companion Tupe because he could no longer listen to Tupe's persuasion and stubbornly believed that he could kill the python lion beast by himself.

In the following year, Quesanti continued to train, alone, stubborn and obstinate. His progress was obvious, but progress did not mean victory.

During this time, every time he felt that he had made progress and could defeat the monster, he would find that failure was still what awaited him.

Without Tupe's help, his battle became even more difficult than before. He couldn't even break the monster's leather armor and gained nothing.

After another failed battle, Quesanti finally woke up. It was impossible to kill the monster with strength alone.

He needed help, Tupe's help.

If Quesanti had still fought alongside Tupe, perhaps Tupe had already figured out how to kill the monster, and they would have gotten rid of it long ago.

But this is exactly what makes people admirable about Quesanti. He is a human being, not a god. He will make mistakes, but when he discovers his mistakes, he will find ways to correct them.

"I remember all the mistakes I made in life and on the battlefield. They are my past and my motivation."

As he himself said, these mistakes are also his motivation.

Knowing that he could not kill the python lion beast by himself, Quesanti mustered up the courage to go to Tupe's house, only to learn that his partner had already returned to the Marrow Seal City.

The only person who received him was Tupe's aunt.

Quesanti lowered his head, a little discouraged, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he continued to go to the Marrow Seal City to look for his partners.

However, when he was about to leave, Tupe's aunt handed him a note, which was exactly what Tupe left behind.

The aunt told Quesanti on behalf of Tupe that this note should help Quesanti defeat this most terrifying monster.

……

——"I'm a little touched by what I saw here! This is what brotherhood is all about!"

——"They didn't really go their separate ways."

——"Tupei guessed that Quesanti would come to him, and Quesanti did not disappoint him, putting aside his arrogance and stubbornness!"

If Quesanti had not come back to look for Tupe, he would not have seen the note left by Tupe; if Tupe had not had hope in Quesanti, he would not have left this note.

In short, although it was still Quesanti who left the city alone to defeat the monster, in fact, he was fighting side by side with his companions.

"From friends to partners, and finally to separation, there will be failures in hunting, and it is difficult for life to be perfect."

"No matter how much I wish, I can't accomplish anything alone, so please come with me."

"The more arrogant a person is, the harder he will fall."

Quesanti immediately immersed himself in the notebook. He gradually realized the mistakes they had often made before. When he finally read the notes about the python lion beast, Quesanti was stunned.

Tupe believed that the monster was actually a bakay - the product of a failed ascension.

This must be the result of the evil wizard Xerath forcibly transforming the animals of Shurima through the ascension ritual.

Quisanti read the entire notebook despite his discomfort and discovered a series of theories Tupe had about the murder of Bakay - all of which Quisanti had never thought of himself.

That night he made a plan to test Tupe's method on some monsters that were easier to deal with.

As expected, these methods were successful. Quesanti saw the hope of victory and he found the weakness of the python-lion beast.

As his skills improved, Quesanti remembered his parents' teachings and realized that it was his own boastful arrogance that led him astray.

He admired Tupe's idea and was eager to put it to use.

To be honest, Quesanti once even respected his enemies more than Tupe. Gradually, he accepted his own flaws and let go of his obsessions.

He was grateful for the time he had spent with this partner, but he was also grateful for himself, for embarking on his own path with a completely new perspective.

Under the purple sky, Quesanti found the python-lion beast again.

He carefully calculated each move, dodging the monster's attacks and seizing the opportunity to strike.

The sunrise slowly turned into sunset. His weapons were broken, his body was covered in blood, but his fighting spirit remained high.

When the monster finally tired, Quesanti seized the opportunity - thanks to Tupe's theory - and forced the monster into a waterfall.

The running water softened the python-lion's armor, allowing him to finally deliver the fatal blow.

Exhausted, Quesanti stood straight.

What makes him proud is not the achievement, but the journey he has taken.

“I’m lucky to have this experience with him, but I’m also lucky to have been able to make my own path.”

Quesanti learned a lot from this experience. It was not only Tupe's strategy but also his bravery that killed the python-lion beast, neither of which was indispensable.

When he returned to town, the Nazumang people held a grand celebration.

In accordance with tradition, he donated the monster's body to scholars for research, and only kept a few pieces of armor for himself to improve the axe in his hand.

After being modified, the pair of axes have the ability to regenerate, so once the outer layer is shattered, Quesanti can use it as a greatsword until the weapon's shell is restored.

Finally, he engraved the hand-drawn drawing that Tupe left in his notebook on each axe - a pattern representing a python-lion beast.

Although their time together has come to an end, Quesanti knows that his achievements were not his alone.

Today, people refer to Quesanti as the "Glory of Nazumang".

But if he hopes to become a true leader of Nazumang, he must learn that he can no longer let his arrogance cloud his reason. The threat of the Ascended is becoming more and more difficult to ignore, and no one knows what the future holds for his homeland. But Quesanti knows one thing: if Azir or Xerath dare to come south, he will stand up and meet the battle.

The mighty and indomitable Quesanti has fought tirelessly against mountain-sized beasts and brutal Ascended beings to protect his homeland, Nazuman, an oasis in the Shurima desert. But since parting ways with his former companions, Quesanti has realized that if he aspires to be a hero worthy of leading Nazuman, he must overcome his stubbornness to win. Only then will he not be consumed by his own arrogance, and finally gain the wisdom he needs to defeat the terrifying enemies that threaten his people.

"Glory is only temporary, but Nazumang stands forever!"
