Sang Zhefeng sat next to a bonfire, and he looked at the dancing flames and was silent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

[You just left the village? Leave Joan of Arc there alone! Seriously, this time I did do what you said, there is really no chance of winning against that monster alone, so you brought Joan of Arc here! You don't want to lose an entourage, do you? 】

The system jumped anxiously around beside it, and the whole frame turned red, and it even catered to Sanzhefeng's mercenary tone to persuade Sanzhefeng, but the man in front of him still stood there motionless, as if he didn't see the dialog box.

What the hell are you thinking? 】

The dialog box ran directly to Sanzhefeng's head, and then jumped up there, but unfortunately its movements had no effect on Sanzhefeng at all, and Sanzhefeng didn't even look at it, just sat there.

[I don't care about you! 】

The dialog flickered there and then disappeared.

Sang Zhefeng looked at the fireworks there, but still didn't say anything.

When Joan of Arc told Sangzhefeng that she had to stay there, Sangzhefeng came out alone. He found a hillside not far from the village and sat on it, made a fire, and sat there all the time, doing nothing.

Judging by the timing, tomorrow night the god of earthbinding will awaken, and next, the massive creature will come this way to devour the creature he touches.

The creatures of the Earthbound Gods have strange habits, they are the nemesis of life - whether it's a goblin as small as a meter or a giant dragon, if you touch something that seems to be made of black sand, you will be devoured. They eat life and flesh tissue, and while powerful creatures can slow down the rate at which they are devoured, they are also difficult to compete with the Earth Bound Gods.

Earthbound Gods are simply the biggest nemesis of the melee class, even the dragons shy away, and every time they appear, they cause great harm, which is why they are listed as the biggest public enemy of the continent.

The last time the god of the earth bound appeared was three years ago, and a snake-like god appeared in the cold land zone in the north of the continent, and that guy headed for the northernmost principality of the continent, which frightened the king there.

They gathered twenty-two fourth-order mages and one fifth-order mage, and jointly launched the great magic "Rank Winter" to freeze the guy forever, and the fifth-order mage also paid for nearly ten years of life-and for this, the northern principality also paid a high price.

Luckily, the Earth Binding God was found in the uninhabited Northland Permafrost, otherwise it wouldn't have been something that could have been done by paying a few fees.

Although the Earthbound Gods are very powerful, they are not so famous, firstly, they do not appear very often, and secondly, their number is really small - they only appear once in a few years, only one at a time, and in well-informed cities, they only regard the Terrestrial Gods as urban rumors.

But every member of the upper echelons is well aware of the power that binds the gods.

Seven years ago, the most powerful god of earthbinding appeared in the famous knightly principality of Sanlis, and the octopus-like monster directly nearly destroyed this famous country, and for a time the entire country fell into a state of almost paralysis, and the people were in a state of misery. If it weren't for the monarch at that time who destroyed that monster at the cost of his own life, it is estimated that there would be no such country as Sanlith in the world now.

There is such a precedent, no one dares to underestimate that kind of creature, probably only a behemoth like the four major countries can successfully clean up an earthbound god.

And this one that appeared here happened to be near a village, and there was a town not far from him, and if he was left alone, there would definitely be a human tragedy.

Although Artoria had already gone to the city, Sang Zhefeng didn't think that she would be able to invite rescuers so smoothly, and even if she did, it would only be some people who came to investigate, and no one would mobilize a large number of troops because of a word.

So, unless the villagers actually saw the behemoth coming, they would never leave their village.

Sang Zhefeng threw another piece of wood or two into the flames, and the fire jumped upwards.

"Forget it, let's talk about it."

He stretched, then lay down on the grass, using his arm as a pillow, and closed his eyes.

He was also a little tired.

He was convinced that he would succeed, and his calculations had never been wrong, except that time.

If everything was as calculated, then he would soon see her again...... It won't take long......

He suddenly felt a little unreal, and he even wondered if he had been asleep lately. Or maybe the system lied to him again.

But he quickly dismissed his idea.

In that kind of thing, he couldn't make a mistake again. The system didn't lie, and he could tell the difference.

As for whether it's a dream or not......

He didn't want to think about that, even if it was really a dream, he wanted a good ending.

If he woke up the next day and found nothing left, he wouldn't be disappointed.

He would just continue to pull the world and everything he would disappear into the void.

As he thought so, his vision slowly blurred.

He was sleepy and wanted to sleep.

He closed his eyes. fell into a deep sleep.

――――――――――――――――

The colors in front of Sang Zhefeng's eyes were constantly changing, and this was a scene he had never seen before.

Those colorful ones are not at all the scenes that can appear in this world.

The light and shadow were changing there, and a small road was in front of him.

He walked towards the front blankly, step by step, without any goal at all.

The scenery around is still changing there, and the color is a little dizzying.

“…… Here......"

A faint female voice came, and it seemed unusually distant, as if it was on the horizon. But it appeared unusually clearly in Sang Zhefeng's ears.

Sang Zhefeng's expression changed. A mixture of shock, excitement, and pain appeared on his face. He stopped, and stood there as if he couldn't be sure what he was hearing.

"You ......"

The voice sounded again, and an extremely sad expression appeared on Sang Zhefeng's face.

He began to walk down the road, and then faster and faster, faster and faster—he ran, as fast as he could.

He ran as hard as he could, with his mortal flesh. He ran until he was out of breath, he was sweating profusely, he was running until he could barely breathe.

But he was still running there, running as best he could.

He ran in the direction of the voice.

“…… It's you...... ......"

He swallowed, breathed hard, shouted, looked at the changing halo around him, and ran forward.

The halo changed even more, and it seemed as if it was changing with his steps. The colorful clouds that are constantly swallowing and changing are like breathing.

"Is that you?!"

He finally shouted, using all his strength, and shouted frantically.

He almost vomited blood from his chest, but he didn't care, didn't care.

He just looked at her—at her one last time.

Suddenly, the road beneath his feet began to collapse and fall downward, and he desperately stretched out his hand to the top to grasp the road on that side, but he failed, he didn't catch it.

He was falling downward, and his eyes were losing sight.

It was as if he had lost something, as if his soul had disappeared, and his heart felt as if it were dead.

Finally...... I still haven't seen her......

――――――――――――――――

Time stopped.

The color became black and white. Dynamics become static.

Everything stopped.

However, in this infinite darkness, there is a wave of color jumping.

The girl appeared in this black and white, she jumped and jumped, and her face was full of excitement.

She was dressed in a beautiful black dress, and her long black hair was almost down to her ankles, moving with her movements.

As if she were dancing, she came to the man's side, then stopped, leaned close to her face, and looked at the man.

"Eh~It's really good-looking~No wonder~"

She touched the man's face, and then she seemed to really appreciate something, and her face instantly showed an obsessive look.

"Hmm~ This deep madness is simply ...... It's not something that humans can control...... It's perfect! It's perfect! ”

The girl leaned next to the man and attached herself to the man. Then he cupped the man's face with both hands and looked at him with an obsessive expression.

"It was perfect...... Well? ”

The girl frowned, and then an expression of disbelief appeared on her face for an instant.

The man in front of him moved.

Slowly, but he moved.

In the midst of the black and white colors, he slowly moved.

The girl screamed "Ahh

The colors are gone, the roads are gone. Sanzhe is also gone.

The space turned white, leaving only the girl there suspended in the air.

"It's dangerous...... the girl patted her chest and stuck out her tongue. It's not good if it's seen. ”

She looked again at where he had disappeared, and a smile appeared on her face.

"But...... It was really perfect......"

She paused.

"My ......"

Her figure disappeared in an instant, and the whole world instantly returned to white.

And her last words were not spoken.

――――――――――――――――

Sang Zhefeng woke up suddenly.

He popped up and gasped for breath, as if he had just had a nightmare.

His body was covered in cold sweat, soaking through his clothes, and his entire back turned black.

[Oh oh oh? The invincible Mr. Sang Zhefeng would have nightmares? It's incredible! Come, come, tell me, what did you dream about? 】

The system is provoking the Sanzhe style next to it, and the small dialog box is constantly beating there, showing its own style to the fullest.

Sang Zhefeng ignored it, and he sat there dumbfounded, not knowing what he was thinking.

[How?] Scared silly? 】

The system continued to taunt from the side.

Tears suddenly flowed from his eyes, and then they flowed out more and more violently, like an unstoppable flood.

[Eh! You...... What happened to you? 】

Sang Zhefeng cried, cried loudly, like a child.

【You...... What's wrong...... You okay...... Other...... Don't cry...... Don't cry...... Don't cry! 】

The system flickered there, and it had expected that Sanzhefeng would ignore it, or even sarcastically ignore it, as always. But he didn't expect that Sang Zhefeng would cry at all.

What kind of nightmare did he have......

Sang Zhefeng didn't say anything, he just cried.

I cried very sadly.
