"To be honest, I wasn't ready, but I didn't want time to wash away this fear, I wanted to break that nightmare through my own efforts!"

"Only in this way can I really get out of that shadow and truly stand with you!"

Chu Ge nodded, agreeing with Al's beliefs, and said:

"So, do you want to try it now?"

Al shook his head and said:

"Wait, at least, when this incident is over, then I will have a decent fight with you."

"By the way, I can't be like Karina, and use a chance to take an adventure to ask you to help, I don't have any pay here!"

Chu Ge smiled:

"No way, who called you a scoundrel."

************

Six miles away from the Tirisfal glades, in a hidden basement, a faint candle flame flickered tenaciously, trying to illuminate the stone table.

"Are all the shares ready to be completed?"

After the candle flame flickered five times, the middle-aged man in black who was sitting at the stone table spoke.

"Except for the one that Rand is going to finish tonight, everything else is ready."

The man who spoke back was a young man with a turban, and next to him stood two other companions, all three standing at the entrance to the basement, not going half a minute.

The man in black nodded, and his tone was a little more relieved:

"Well, after this operation is over, our status in the guild will be improved a lot, and it will only be a matter of time before we move into a stronger branch."

A hint of hesitation flashed across the face of the young man with the turban, but he couldn't help asking:

"My lord, we seem to have been playing tricks on people lately, is there something amazing in this operation?"

Didiapo pondered for a moment, then replied:

"You've guessed right, our operation this time is indeed related to two big shots."

"Because of the above arrangement, we will have some intersections with those people, otherwise we may not be able to talk to them for the rest of our lives."

"Although we are indeed doing things for them, in their hearts we are afraid that we are not even as good as the lowliest lackeys, so! You show me who you are, and don't think about anything out of the ordinary! ”

"That kind of guy has a very strange personality, and once he angers the other party, even death will become a very luxurious thing."

The turban man nodded heavily, then asked:

"Is it convenient to reveal the strength of those two big shots?"

Didiapo hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"It's not important news, so it's okay to tell you so that you can have some points in your heart."

"Mid-Third Order!"

"The one who has been giving orders has the strength of the middle of the third order!"

Before his subordinates could show a look of surprise, Didiapo had already told another fact,

"And the one who has been standing at the back, hum, I'm afraid that his strength has reached the transcendent realm!"

The three men were already shocked:

"It's excusable in the middle of the third order, but, extraordinary?!"

"Oh my God, why would a guy of this level come to a remote and desolate place like ours?"

"Even if it's a healing church, it's probably not easy to send this kind of manpower, it's definitely an elite, do those crazy people have any big moves?"

Ignoring his men's words and words, Didiapo set his eyes on the dancing flames—

Ambition flashes!

***

After dinner, Karina dragged Yu around the town and began to wander around, and Al didn't know which tavern he had wandered to.

Chu Ge, on the other hand, left the lord's mansion early and came to the edge of the Tirisfal Glade.

Based on his past experiences, he remembered that the humble old mansion in front of him was a key point in providing energy for the magic circle in the blood-colored woodland.

And it's a completely unactivated stronghold!

Although the magic circle of the Scarlet Glade has basically taken shape, as long as that stronghold is destroyed, the soulless corpses will lose their continuous power and become a consumable with boundaries.

In his previous life, those walking corpses who were not cleanly killed, and those who made him struggle to support, were the key reasons for the failure of the mission!

After opening the liberation of the shadows, those walking corpses were originally not worth mentioning, and even if they could really hinder him, they would not last long.

Just as he easily eliminated the third team of walking corpses, this stronghold located outside the woodland was suddenly activated, causing the originally fallen corpses to stand up again!

After several experiments, Chu Ge abandoned the indestructible walking corpses and headed towards the center of the woodland, where he met the initiator of the mutation, the necromancer Lyman.

After the liberation of the shadows, the strength of Chu Ge, who was possessed by Nyven Moore, was raised to a rather good level, and he even suppressed Lyman, who had third-order strength, for a time.

However, those who possessed immortal bodies, after receiving the blessings of Lyman's spell many times, brought a lot of pressure to Chu Ge, and Lyman, who was heavily protected by them, was also very tenacious, not giving Chu Ge any chance at all.

As time passed, Chu Ge's advantage shrank little by little, and in the end, his physical body was really unable to bear the burden of exceeding the limit, ending the state of the demon king, and he was defeated by Leman, and his life hung by a thread.

"Help......

And it was at that time, when all hope was completely lost, when fear was completely overcome, that the savior finally appeared.

"No injuries, right?"

The beautiful figure wrapped in a white robe spoke, gently greeting Chu Ge, who was half-kneeling there.

The face that was originally frightened calmed down for a moment.

Inside it, something small has sprouted, and it is growing rapidly.

"Step back."

The halo of healing not only allowed him to recover from his injuries little by little, but also filled his heart with the warmth of that soft smile.

"Now, leave it to me."

At that time, he didn't even have the strength to smile, but under the comfort of the words that moistened his soul, his body moved involuntarily.

"I will, protect you!"

Protected by her, saved by her.

None of this matters,

He just wanted to, silently longing for that figure.

***

As mentioned in the previous quest prompts, every time the target character makes a move, it will cause a significant drop in the completion of the task.

This kind of condition will not arise for no reason, there must be a certain truth, but Chu Ge didn't find it at that time.

And Hellerys' full force attack almost means the failure of the main quest,

In a way.

The power that Helleris burst out in an instant was very strong, and Lyman, who had already been almost consumed by Chu Ge, was wiped out after receiving a fatal blow, and the mutation of the blood-colored woodland was also eliminated.

After that, Chu Ge fell into a coma due to detachment, and it was not until a few months later that he saw Hallerys again in the royal capital.
