★ Act I: Where the story begins

[Some stories may end before they even begin.] And some stories are already over, but they are still like they haven't begun. 】

Not many people know the story of Ikalia and Lossville, because those who know this story have basically disappeared into the dust of history.

Their story can be traced back to the nascent era of magical energy before the collapse of human civilization. At that time, the ability had not yet risen, and people used more ancient martial arts and the newly emerging magic energy.

In the aftermath of the Third Total War, humanity was one step away from destroying its homeland. Humanity that survived the war has finally realized that destruction is much easier than creation.

In this context, the abyss of magic energy was born, and the abyss of magic energy with the heart of magic energy became the last straw for mankind, which was created by sacrificing more than ninety percent of the magic masters, and it was also the last hope of mankind.

The Heart of Demonic Energy contains an immense amount of energy, which is so large that it can completely restore the Earth's environment.

And in this context, the battle for control broke out.

And Ikaria and Lossville first met four months before the battle began............

At that time, Lossville was the top killer in the Dragon Nation, and on the way to the mission, he accidentally saved the youngest daughter of Phil Haiz's master, 'Ikaria Phil'.

One is a delicate flower who is innocent and kind and has not been contaminated by the dust of the world, and the other is a killer who regards emotions as an obstacle and has cold blood flowing in his body.

But the encounter of fate made such two parallel intersects.

The young Lotville gradually immersed himself in Ikaria's pure white smile, and as time passed, the frozen heart gradually melted, and Ikalia, who had no playmates since she was a child and had been imprisoned in the garden, gradually had the figure of Icarus in her heart.

I have to say that once human emotions explode, they will be out of control, and for a period of time after that, they are almost inseparable, and after meeting Icaria, Icarus basically never took over the task again.

He didn't want to touch her hair with his blood-stained hands.

As the two spent more and more time together, the sprout of love gradually took root in their hearts, and for the next period of time, Lostville accompanied Ikaria through most of the human city-states.

The novelty of the outside world made Ikaria linger, this time was the happiest time in her life, she did not mention her origin to Lossville, and Lossville only thought that she was an ordinary girl, every time she asked her other family members vaguely, Ikalia would respond with silence, and Lossville naturally thought that she was a homeless orphan.

He secretly made up his mind that in the future, he would take care of her.

It's just that there is no task, which means that there is no income, and for a teenager who is less than twenty years old, the appearance fee of the Tianbang killer may be high enough, but in terms of consumption, it is also huge. At the very least, the money that Lossville has accumulated is not enough to sustain the two of them for the rest of their lives.

At this moment, the master of the Dragon Kingdom found him and wanted him to join the other two Heavenly List Killers to do another mission, and the reward of the task was enough for them to live a very nourishing life for the rest of their lives.

Lossville chose to accept it, but he didn't know that all this was just the beginning of his and Ikaria's bumpy fate.

★ Act II: Phil Haiz's tribute

[No one can escape the shackles of fate, perhaps, you feel that you have been freed from its shackles. But who knows if this is your true destiny? 】

Lossville chose to accept the mission, he was ready, and after completing this vote, he washed his hands of gold and retired from the killer world.

The night was so silent, but he couldn't sleep as he watched her sleep, maybe this battle was dangerous, but Lossville was confident, confident that he could complete the mission.

However, he didn't know that Ikalia Phil's identity was not as simple as he thought.

Love can make people blind, and this is the same for Lossville, for Ikalia Phil's surname, Lossville didn't take it to heart, after all, it's normal for surnames to be repeated, so he didn't associate Ikalia Phil's surname with the family of the controller of the city-state of Phil Hayz.

Sometimes, however, it's a coincidence that Ikaria is a member of the Phil family.

If she was just an ordinary member of the Phil family, she might be able to win over a killer at the top of the list, and the Phil family would not interfere with her relationship with Lossville.

It's just that Ikaria has a very special position in the Phil family.

She is a tribute appointed by the Emperor of the Desert, whom the Phil family worships.

The so-called tribute refers to the price paid by the contractor of the Phil family for signing an oath with the Emperor of the Desert.

The choice of tribute is often a descendant or sister who has a direct blood line with the contractor, but if you want to get the best contract reward, it is generally best to use a direct descendant.

Secondly, the tribute must be female, and once selected as a tribute, the Emperor of the Desert will inscribe a forbidden spell on it to restrict the movement of the tribute.

Before the tribute was sacrificed to the Tsar, it could not lose its body, it could not have emotions, and here it was especially not possible to have love.

After the tribute was carved with a metal spell mark, if she had love, how deep her love was, how heavy the backlash of the forbidden spell mark would be.

That's why Ikaria always looks weak, after all, the backlash from the Forbidden Spell Mark is no joke.

As a tribute to this generation, Ikaria had always lived in her own garden, and she was not allowed to go out, and even her grandfather did not even allow her parents to get too close to her in order to temper her feelings.

In the past ten years, she has been like a caged bird, and her little understanding of the outside world basically comes from the books her father brought her.

It's a pity that although she has a father who loves her very much, she also has a grandfather who regards the glory of the family as the lifeblood. And the reason why she was chosen as a tribute is actually related to some of her grandfather's arrangements.

Her father: Molek Phil is the genius magician of the Phil family, the hope of the Phil family, and in the eyes of her grandfather, she became a victim of the family.

With the passage of time, the sea of blue enchantress flowers did not change in the slightest, but Ikaria gradually grew up, getting closer and closer to her coming-of-age ceremony, and the desire for the outside world became stronger and stronger.

Finally, the caged bird spread its wings and flew into the sky it longed for.

With the help of the maid who had served her since she was a child, she escaped from Phil Haiz, and then, on that desert, met the person she would eventually want in this life............

★ Act III: Sorrow

[Anything in this world, if you want to get it, you have to pay a corresponding price, and the price is often more than what we get. 】

Ikaria has finally escaped her fate as a tribute, but fate seems to have played a joke on her, she wants to be with him, and he is long gone.

She tried hard to get rid of loneliness, and in the end, the only thing that really accompanied her was loneliness.

She replaced him and became the follow-up executor of this task, and for this reason, the controller even opened a separate reading room for him, after all, the next battle to face was not something that a rookie who had just come into contact with the magical energy field could handle.

With the help of the power of the abyss of magical energy, she forcibly broke off her oath with the Emperor of the Desert, and in her opinion, she had completely escaped her fate, and the next thing to do was to find his traces.

From the master, she learned about the situation she needed to face next, the heart of magic energy, as a miracle thing created by bringing together the power of ninety percent of the world's magicians, must be able to achieve resurrection.

For the first time, selfishness appeared in Ikaria's uncomplicated mind, she wanted to obtain the Heart of Magical Energy, and she wanted to see him again. Even if this is the hope of the whole world, she will not be able to erase this idea that has already risen.

Once a demon is created, it is difficult to destroy it.

Perhaps only a pure heart is the best breeding ground for sin, and it is in this situation that Abyss, simulated by the Heart of Magical Energy, is truly integrated into Ikaria's soul.

I have to say that her grandfather has lost his eyes this time, and Ikaria, who can only be a victim in his eyes, is actually far superior to his father Molek Phil in the realm of magical energy.

In just a few days, Ikaria's attainments in the field of magic energy have stepped into the intermediate sequence, such a talent, after having the blessing of the abyss of magic energy, the comprehension of magic energy can be described as a thousand miles in a day.

The controller is still very satisfied with Ikaria's progress in magical energy, however, Ikaria is not satisfied with this, if she wants to obtain the heart of magical energy, she must win the next battle, and in the face of the seeded players of other main city-states, Ikaria is under great pressure.

At the same time, because she did not fulfill her duty of tribute, the backlash from the Emperor of the Desert began to befall her, which made her hope of seeing the meaning slim again.

It's just that Ikaria didn't know that when she was desperately trying to fulfill her heart's wish, in the distance outside the window, a dark shadow was silently watching her............

★ Act IV: The Invisible Guardian

[Perhaps, everyone has his (her) guardian angel, but he (she) has not yet discovered it. 】

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ikaria always felt that Lossville was not far away from her, and she could always feel his familiar breath.

The battle for the heart of magic is about to break out, and the participants of each city-state have become the most concerned information among the three major powers, among which the unknown Ikaria has become the primary target of spying.

That was the first time she had seen him, although she didn't recognize him.

Wandering in the night in a daze, she unfortunately became the target of the Reims Empire.

As a mid-tier magician, it may be more than enough to deal with ordinary humans, but against those nightkin from the Reims Empire, she can only be captured.

After some chase, she was cornered.

Wishes are called wishes because they don't come true in a moment.

At least, she's had a fantastic time.

As Ikaria prepared to meet her fate, a figure shrouded in black mist appeared in front of her, the black mist on the man's body revealed the aura of death and calamity, and two dark green rays emanated from under his hood, and the nightkin was stripped of their lives.

What a terrifying existence this is.

But Ikaria didn't feel scared, and for some reason, when the black mist figure appeared, a sense of peace rose in her heart.

…………

The second time I saw this black mist figure was in the Taketori River in Sakurasaka, and during that time, the Emperor of the Desert's backlash increased dramatically, and Ikaria even lost her ability to move.

To ensure her safety, the Masters sent her to the Taketori River, where another warfighter belonging to the Dragon Country took care of her.

Everything was originally safe, but who would have thought that the Lance Empire sent two participants to secretly infiltrate the Taketori River and start a plan to intercept her.

She also met him there for the second time.

When the middle-aged man who looked ruffian wanted to torture himself, the figure wrapped in black mist reappeared. Under the dark green light, the participants of the Reims Empire were frightened away, and she also saw the very familiar sniper rifle in his hand.

Is that you? Lossville? Have you always been by my side to protect me?

Ikalia thought so, but before she could ask what she was thinking, the black mist figure dissipated again, and Ikalia had to suppress this question in her heart.

The third time I saw him, it was in the Yinlong Defense Line.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that she saw him, at least, she did not see him, she just knew that he had come and saved her.

At that time, the surrounding area was already filled with endless dead apostles and ghouls, and the Yinlong defense line was in jeopardy, just like Ikaria's fate.

Just when the line of defense was about to be torn apart.

A black light pierced the sky, bringing up a black spatial rift, piercing the black man hiding in the tide of corpses with lightning speed.

Ikaria would not forget the horror and disbelief that flashed in the black man's eyes, and with his fall, her crisis was once again lifted, and Ikaria looked around to find him, but in the end she found nothing.

★ Act V: The Reversed Ending

[The world is always impermanent, just like we can't control our own destiny, we can only strive to live more like ourselves. 】

Lossville is really back.

The only thing that disappointed Ikaria a little was that even the power of the Heart of Magical Energy couldn't completely revive him?

Maybe I'm too greedy! Ikalia thought to herself.

The days with him by his side are always full of hope, and maybe this is enough.

However, in fact, fate will not have mercy on you because of your efforts, just like luck, it is an unpredictable existence.

When Ikaria and Lossville stood in front of the abyss of magical energy, they realized that perhaps, the heart of magical energy that embodies human desires may not be the hope for humans, but the beginning of the destruction of the world.

The Abyss of Demonic Energy is home to the Heart of Demonic Energy, which was constructed by the sacrifice of many human magicians.

So, after the heart of magic energy is contaminated with the original sin of human beings, will it still be the energy that human beings want?

When the cold blade pierced into Ikaria's chest, Lossville, who had been tainted by evil thoughts, was completely blackened, and the power of the [Reversal] was completely awakened. Everything is facing a loss of control.

However, people are still wonderful creatures, because of human nature, so miracles will happen!

Abyss was finally infected by human emotions, and he fused the power of original sin to open the abyss devouring, but the target of devouring changed from this world to the evil in the abyss.

By the time Lossville opened his eyes, the world had changed, the scars of war had disappeared, and the girl he loved had fallen asleep.

Lostville had always believed that Icaria would wake up, and he changed his name to Icarus, and this time, he had to shoulder the total number of lives of the two.
