"Yes, I still want to stick to that path." This is Oran's answer.

"But you'll find that no matter what you do, you still can't change the facts that are already predestined." Rudolph waved his hand, and everything in front of Oran's eyes began to change again.

……

"Hey, my friend. What's wrong with you, you won't be scared, will you? I've never seen you cowardly, hahaha. You know we're going to face the giant Yum next, and even though I'm already old friends with him, he's really not going to open up to us. ”

When Orlan came back to his senses, the person in front of him became the guy Onion Knight Jack Baldo, he was still so funny, he didn't forget to joke about Orlan before the big battle.

"Why, I've never been afraid of anything. But I think I'll have to save you later, Onion...... Don't die. ”

"Hahahaha, thank you first, I know you're a reliable guy."

The onion knight's hearty laughter echoed above the palace of sin, just hoping not to wake up the giant, Orlan didn't want to be chased and slashed by the guy with a big knife as soon as he entered.

Strangely enough, there was not a single white mist blocking them, but instead there were two tall and closed stone doors in front of them, and Onion stepped forward to hold the stone doors and slowly pushed them open.

Oran once again watched the giant Yum awaken from his throne, the flames slowly ignited from his black body as a firewood, and he opened his crimson eyes, and he finally welcomed his only friend in solitude.

"Yum, my old friend! I've come to make an appointment, and Jack Bardol, the knight of Catalina, has come to fulfill my promise. "The onion's words have hardly changed anything.

Yum raised his broadsword from his throne and roared at the onions and Oran, and the palace dome was shattered with a violent tremor.

"It seems that we still can't get him to talk properly." The onion reluctantly carried the Storm Keeper.

"May the Salary King be with the sun." Orlan said to the onion.

"May you and I be with the sun, hahaha!" The onion didn't mind Orlan snatching him, and they looked at each other and smiled.

The two ran towards the oncoming Yum, and after a few jumps, Orlan took the lead. Yum watched as he saw the enemy in front of him and swung his broadsword.

Poof——! The blade hovered over Orlan's head, as the onion had blocked the slash with the blade in his hand.

"Old friend, your opponent is me! Hahaha. Onion laughed and picked off Yum's broadsword.

Orlan took advantage of the opportunity to quickly leap from the giant's feet, aiming for another Storm Keeper next to the throne.

Bang...... Bang...... Bang! Behind Oran, the swords of the two collided several times, and the stone pillars that supported the dome shattered and formed flying stones splattered everywhere.

Orlan single-handedly picked up the Storm Keeper, and he began to infuse the Giant Slayer weapon with soul power. Visible currents began to converge on the blade until the entire sword was enveloped in the force of the storm. Without any more hesitation, Orlan slashed the attack at Yum, who was not far away from his back.

Boom ——! The force of the storm rushed like a sharp blade down the ground towards the enemy, and even the ground was plowed into a deep ravine. Similarly, the Giant Yum was shattered by this attack, breaking through the heavy armor and even the petrified skin.

Yum got down on one knee with a broadsword after being hit, and Onion took the opportunity to lift his sword and hit him in the head, but he still missed such a great opportunity. Because Yumu's body erupted with a violent flame impact that directly bounced the onion away, Yumu, who was watching the raging flames, roared and stood up straight, and the big knife was also filled with the flames of sin, and he had entered the state of the salary king.

An even more ferocious attack slashed at Orlan almost without stopping, and Yum was undaunted by the sinister creature who had attacked him from behind.

It is hard to imagine that the wind that wields such a massive blade would be enough to blow off the shattered stones on the ground, and Oran is like a small boat in the midst of the waves, as if it would be disintegrated into sawdust by the force in the next moment.

"My friend! Hold on, give me one more minute! The sound of an onion could be heard not far away, as he had just crawled out of the collapsed pile of rock, and then held the Storm Keeper with both hands and lifted it above his head.

"Storm! Accept my call, I am with the sun! ”

No matter how loud the onion's shouts were at this time, Yum was still deaf to the salaryman, and he was bound to smash Orlan to pieces!

Bang! Orlan raised his sword above his head to meet Yum's attack, his legs sinking into the rocky ground. In order to ensure that the onion's storm can accurately hit Yum, and for the onion to survive in the end, this is the only thing Orlan can do. Let Yum's attention be focused on him alone.

Once again, the force of the storm opened a gaping hole in Yum's body, and flames erupted from the wound, spilling golden blood like magma.

Even the Salary King will eventually burn out, and the ashes will eventually return to ashes.

Orlan felt that he had done it this time, to avoid the onion and Yum from dying together. The entire palace of sinful karma fell silent, and Orlan and Onion collapsed to the ground, using almost all their strength, except for the sound of them panting.

"Thank you, my friend, for helping me again, otherwise I would never have been able to do it all alone. I don't know if we will ever see each other again after parting...... I mean, your journey has just begun, and my mission has come to an end...... My friend, you should keep going, don't hesitate too much, you can only end this. ”

The onion intermittently said these "lines" to Orlan that didn't belong to him, as if he knew that it was all reincarnation over and over again.

Orlan knew he had failed this time too, and he didn't hold back the onion. Regardless of whether the onion fell under Yum's knife or not, he himself seemed to have known such an inevitable end.

"So, before I fall asleep, we still have the necessary things to do, do you remember?"

"Of course, the celebration feast, right?"

"Hahahaha, I knew you wouldn't forget." The onion took out his treasure.

The mellow aroma of spirits wafted through the air, and it was strange that Oran could smell it now, something that his previous life as ashes could not feel. Orlan had never been a fan of wine, but now he suddenly felt that it tasted pretty good.

"Wine, especially spirits, is never what it tastes like." Oran couldn't help but think of the old man's words, which seemed to make some sense.

……

"To my old friends, to all the paymasters."

"I respect you too."

- Be with the sun!
