Chapter 130: Another Destiny
under night.

The white-haired girl dismantled the gun calmly.

Several hours ago, Lin Xuan told her to leave the royal city temporarily.

Because there is a certain probability that a dangerous battle will break out next.

As long as Lin Xuan and Luo Weina didn’t leave, then she would not be suspected if she left alone.

If a fight breaks out, she won’t die. If it doesn’t break out, she can return to the royal city as if nothing happened.
Still the same as before.

This was a “strategy” that person had calculated in advance and prioritized the safety of those around him.

However, he did not count himself.

Maybe he was well prepared, maybe he was calm and composed. Judging from the result, he once again easily put himself in danger.

It’s obviously not a combat-type spirit.

Whether it is Xingjian Jingli, the swordsman girl who was suspected to have an old relationship with him after being conquered, or the current Lovina, these are even the “combat powers” that Lin Xuan found himself.

“In the end, even with the emperor who showed up, we can only deal with him with words.”

Her soft voice drifted gently in the night, and she said softly: “As expected of Lin Xuan, you are amazing.”

Click.

Listening to the sound of guns being disassembled is one of the sounds that has calmed Xia Shimi down over the years.

After all, there is no ether to carve spells many times, so I can only practice shooting, practicing shooting while half asleep and half awake, and practicing shooting while hanging upside down on the ceiling.
——This time, it was Xia Shimi’s own initiative to follow a few people and come to the depths of the [Demon Abyss Realm].

Before that.

Lin Xuan had already told her that during the assessment process of the Contract Spirit level, there was a Contract Spirit that he could not talk about, which tampered with everyone’s memory.

But she was not among them.

This was told to her after a series of experiments and confirmation that it was not a coincidence.

Maybe it was due to her constitution, or some other factor that could not be detected by some instruments. For the first time, Xia Shimi realized that she seemed to have the ability to ignore the influence of ranged ether.

Such as the amplification given by the spirit, or the range control given by the enemy entity.

As long as it wasn’t actual damage – but rather an effect caused by disturbing the ether, it seemed that it wouldn’t affect her physical condition.

Putting aside other things for now, Xia Shimi knew about the past when she was in college.

A retired professor saw how hard she studied.

I had specifically sought out Qi Ling, intending to use my power to “enlighten” her, but why was there no effect?

I always feel a little sorry for the professor who was full of confidence at the time but ended up being dejected.
but.

Even if I knew about this.

Xia Shimi was not suddenly filled with joy, nor did she have the feeling of “Ah, I am special after all. Now the real Dragon Girl is returning.”

What’s the point of being able to ignore the impact?
She knew very well that she was only a human being after all.

Those entities used skills against her, but they were overestimating her. She only needed one basic attack to be done with.

However, after learning about this, she was indeed more or less a little happier.

This was because, even this special physique was most likely the main reason why her etheric talent was so poor and she had been despised as a defective product or a fake in the past seven or eight years.

But at least for now.

Xia Shimi sincerely felt fortunate that she had this special physique.

After becoming proficient, as long as one holds his breath, even the perception of the spirit can be blocked. Moreover, the pollution such as the blood moon does not seem to have much impact.

——As long as she continues to become as strong as possible, then one day, she will be able to help Lin Xuan more, right?
“But… it’s not enough now.”

After confirming that there would be no conflict on Lin Xuan’s side, the white-haired girl looked back.

In the dark night.

The dark forest was shaking.

Around the royal city, the Abyssbloods were attracted by the human’s scent but shrank back, not daring to attack. They were attracted by the human’s scent and looked at the girl’s back with greedy eyes.

Under the hood, the girl skillfully switched the long-range sniper mode to a close-combat submachine gun. She pulled out a dagger from the leg ring tied to her thigh.

The long light white hair fell silently, the petite figure crouched, and the calm red eyes were as cold as the moon in the night.

Lin Xuan said that it would be fine to go back before the next meeting.

Well, as a top student in the academy, I have to use this little free time of mine to study on my own.

“I must also work harder.”

Xia Shimi whispered softly.

=====
What is the so-called brave man?

When the world is facing a major crisis and the entire civilization is like a collapsing building, a tsunami that blocks out the sun is about to hit.

Some people were able to stand up.

Raise your sword and become the tall man.

That person will prop up the collapsed building, and that person will break through the tsunami that covers the sky.

As a result, people will call him the man of destiny and regard him as the hope of civilization.

after that.
That person might succeed, for example, successfully kill the Demon King of the Abyss, and delay the disaster that is corroding the world for a very long time.

Or maybe that person will fail.

In the battle that was close to victory, due to unreasonable plots and sneak attacks, they were just one step away from the dawn, but in the end they failed and failed at the last moment.

Then comes the greatest reckoning, when desperate humans vent their anger out of fear and accuse that person of shouldering a heavy responsibility only to fail in the end.

All hopes were pinned on it, but in the end it tragically led to the collapse of the front line.

It would take a century to forget.

To cleanse the karma that person has stained, in order to retain the possibility of continuing the story again in the distant future.

——This is the ending for the “brave man”. There are both good and bad endings.

However, no matter what the outcome.

The stories belonging to the “world” have not ended, only the stories of “individuals” have ended.

Even if a person who is regarded as a hero by everyone dies in a certain way and at a certain place.
After all, the world will continue to turn.

The world saved by the successful hero eventually ended up in collapse; even for the failed hero, the world still found a way to continue running.

After witnessing both, it seems as if one can feel the inevitability of destiny.

It seems like everything is predetermined.

“Okay, that’s the end of it now.”

A brisk voice fell in the tornado, and a ray of light that seemed to penetrate the sky suddenly fell.

Directly, the sandstorm will sweep across the earth.

Its only core is given through.

He was wearing simple armor, and the coarse linen cloth was torn by the gravel mixed in the strong wind, allowing air to leak in all directions, revealing the snow-white lines and curves of his lower abdomen.

It was full of energy from skilled movement, yet soft and slender, without any muscular stagnation.

Under the refraction of sunlight, the snow-white is dazzling.

“Really.”

Because the symbol of fear of wind disasters——【Ebiru, the core of the disaster beast of the mythical beast Crazy Storm】dissipated, the girl lost the momentum to ride on the wind.

Falling straight down from a height of hundreds of meters.

During the long fall, she looked down at her tattered clothes and her long, fluttering hair.

He sighed, “In order to save ether, even the ‘weapon’ can only transform into one weapon. Even after more than a hundred years, I’m still not used to it.”

If you think about it carefully, that short period of more than ten years was a rare battle for prosperity.

Not only was there someone who could tell her what to do and where to fight when she was fighting on the front line, but also explained in detail and concisely what the victory criteria were.

When he returned to the base, he would prepare all the healing items. He could repair torn clothes with ether and he also had materials to repair damaged weapons.

What is the principle behind the spring water that can heal hidden injuries just by taking a bath?

For Tira, who was once called a “hero”, she really missed those years. After all, that was her life when she became a legend.

At that time, the king of that small country only gave her ten copper coins. She set off directly wearing coarse linen village clothes and holding a wooden stick, carrying a human head and a cheap title of a hero.

The fall of hundreds of meters is about to touch the ground.

Tira turned over, her long light green hair scattered behind her, and her slender toes pointed downwards.

The long boots he was wearing were torn off by the strong wind, and his bare feet touched the hard ground.

Immediately afterwards——

When the soft soles of the feet touched the ground, it collapsed without any chance of resistance.

After a loud bang and the smoke and dust had dissipated, he stood in a pit four or five meters deep.

The girl, who was regarded as a brave hero, with long light green hair falling down from her neck, yawned, wrapped herself in the remaining clothes, and looked around lazily.

“Well, compared to the original scheduled crusade time, it will be one and a half days earlier.”

“As expected.” After she stretched, she simply lay down in the cracked and sunken pit, allowing the sunlight to shine on her skin.

She looked up at the sky and smiled lightly: “After receiving the [Destiny] again, even the combat power lost after the previous rebellion against the world has been taken away.”

“Are you willing to give it back to me now?”

After saying this, Tila closed her eyes, as if she was really enjoying this short break that she had earned from working overtime.

Deep in this abyss, in the disaster area that is considered a forbidden area and is occupied by [Phantom Beasts].

The girl who had been regarded as a hero in both civilizations and had once been known as a brave woman, now lowered her eyes and took a short rest, breaking away from the race against time to “save the world”.

But don’t close your eyes for just a moment.

Tira’s brows frowned unhappily, and after a moment, she sighed softly.

He opened his eyes and sat up from the deep pit.

“I earned this vacation through my own efforts.”

She looked up at the sky with a calm gaze, “You won’t let me rest now? You want me to go on the next mission right away?”

A faint sound entered her ears.

Tila knew exactly what it was.

As a brave warrior, she is the one chosen by God and is protected by destiny.

That voice would guide her way forward, allowing her, who was just an ordinary villager child, to leave the village and go to the kingdom to become a hero.

Although she was unfamiliar with combat, she was able to escape danger time and again, save the fallen villages, and even go to the depths of the fatal abyss.

She is a brave one.

The title that was once given to thousands of people finally became a nickname for her alone.

“Forget it. It doesn’t matter.”

Standing up from the deep pit, muttering casually, Tira patted the wounds on her body that were stained by soil and rocks, and jumped out of the deep pit.

Outside the pit.

The ground was filled with dead Abyssbloods. Because they relied on the special environment around the [Phantom Beast] to survive, they would block any attackers.

“Let me think about where I put it.”

Muttering to herself, Tira walked through the sea of ​​blood that she had created with her own hands, and stopped in front of a pile of corpses somewhere.

He looked up at the huge stone monster that was blocking the way ahead.

The etheric light in her right hand flickered, and finally condensed into a small knife like a meat-cutting knife, which she chopped down at will.

Amid the pile of exploding rocks, the girl continued forward, squatted down, and found what she was looking for.

“Ah, it is indeed blocked. I said it should be buried near here.”

“Fortunately, when we destroyed the terrain just now, we deliberately didn’t lead it this way.”

The girl reached out and lifted up the small mound of dirt buried in the ground.

Inside, there is a set of “clothing”.

The dazzling gems inlaid on the headband are the symbol of the national treasure; the heroic and detachable noble battle skirt is what the brave men in the story wear.

The sword was pulled out of the stone back then. Although its only special attack was to kill the devil, she eliminated it that year, but this is also a must-have specialty of every sculpture of her.

Tira squatted down, humming a little tune with a hint of mockery on her lips.

In this lonely sea of ​​corpses and blood, he put on the attire of his past self as the [Fated Hero].

This set of clothes is filled with blessings from the whole world.

To use someone’s words – this set of clothing has pretty good added attributes.

But for Tira, when she was sure she could win the battle and there was no one else watching and she needed to pay attention to her image, she still hated such cumbersome clothes.

Prefer to come in light and comfortable clothing.

After all, when you first set out on the path of a brave man, you don’t have any mission to carry out or anything to look forward to.

When she just wanted to gain power, she wore tattered clothes.

However, she was the only one who could follow her all the way to the end and saw her fight without wearing the “Brave Suit”.

“You want me to go back to the royal city right now? Sigh, without magic, the journey is so long.”

After putting on her clothes, Tira once again became the brave hero that had been praised for thousands of years.

She wore a beautiful headband inlaid with gemstones, and tied her long light green hair into a neat ponytail. The light armor showed the light lines of power.

With a sword tied around her waist, the girl’s profile is so cool that both men and women can feel her charm.

But the only drawback is
Her expression now clearly lacked some enthusiasm, as if she was trying to bargain with something that didn’t exist.

“It’s on the way anyway. Aren’t there still a few [Mythical Beasts] wreaking havoc outside? We have to defeat them in the end anyway, right?”

“It’s very troublesome to talk to that emperor. I can’t deal with someone who is both overbearing and inexplicably persistent in strange places.”

“Can’t you let me take a longer detour and delay my return for another month or two?”

The words that lack motivation were spoken to a place that did not exist anywhere in the air.

Finally, Tira seemed to hear some sound.

She sighed finally.

“Okay, okay. Anyway, we have to go back to the royal city now, right?”

“No choice, I’ll just go back.”

Although this kind of sudden change in destiny never brings good things.

But it doesn’t matter now.

Once, for the first time.

She followed this destiny and went to defeat the Demon King, thinking that she had saved the world.

But when she opened her eyes again, the first thing she knew was that her world was destroyed. The [Abyss] still became the final disaster.

And the second time.

She chose to defy fate – even if it meant backlash, she chose to become that man’s bonded spirit, wanting to witness a new hero save his world.

But the result
The man died because I didn’t save him, and I failed to fulfill my responsibility once again.

and so.

Even though more than 30 years ago, his spirit was destroyed because of his past resistance to destiny. In order to continue, he had to return to the depths of the Demonic Abyss again.

And now, he has once again been given the responsibility of a [hero].

I’m afraid that he has become a wanted person in the alliance, and it is not surprising that he is regarded as a special individual.

but
As a “disqualified hero” who has not accomplished his mission in two lifetimes.

Save the world that once was, as atonement for the failure of the past mission. Even if it means putting on the shackles of action, listen to the voice of the world once again.

There’s nothing to lose anyway.

It’s nice not to have to think too much, isn’t it?
