Green didn't care about the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, and his heart was completely replaced by shock and panic.

The purple-haired goddess he was holding in his arms was extremely similar in appearance to the woman in his dream, and even the hair color and figure were exactly the same, but when Green looked down at the nearest distance, the first thing he saw was a strange tattoo-like purple mark under her left eye—the woman in the dream had had close contact with Green, and he couldn't forget such an obvious mark.

"Who are you?"

Green forced himself to calm down, this abrupt situation was too weird, and now, it was hard for him to believe that this qiē had nothing to do with the person in his dream.

The purple-haired woman in her arms blinked, and she looked at Green quietly, seemingly completely unconcerned about the sound of the crash.

"Tear bells."

She responded crisply, like a little girl who was extremely innocent. Green, on the other hand, looked like he was shocked.

This voice is indeed the man in the dream!

What the hell is going on?

"Huh...... It's you. Before Green could ask questions, she blinked, and suddenly showed the same expression.

Green was a little confused, looked at her cheeks, and subconsciously asked, "Do you know me?" ”

The woman in her arms shook her head, as if she was still a little confused, "I...... I remember your breath. ”

Breath?

Green suddenly remembered that night he had used the blood of the Son of Uniforms as a medium to pacify the mad white beast, and now it seemed that he had made a certain impression on her at that time.

"So you remember what happened that night?"

Green blurted out this question, which was in fact extremely stupid, and anyone with a little vision could see the slender woman's pained expression.

So the boy decisively changed the subject.

"Hey, can you still go?" He held the woman's back, only to feel soft. "Your name is ...... Tear bells, huh? ”

Before she could reply, the Guardian of the Great Shield staggered back, nearly allowing the Stitch Monster to rush through the gap.

Both of them were startled by the noise, and she stood up on her own without Green's help.

"My name is Tearbell," she said, looking in the direction of the Shield Guardian. His mouth was in response to Green's words, "What's your name?" ”

"Green, Greenfield."

"Thank you for saving me, Green," Tearbell nodded, and suddenly smiled at him, "You're so good, you're not afraid of the Supreme Funeral." ”

"Where." The boy shook his head embarrassedly, somehow. Seeing her smile, there is a strange sense of peace of mind similar to that of the person in the dream, it seems that only she can show a smile, and all the setbacks and killings along the way are worth it.

"The Supreme Funeral will be ill-intentioned to you, let's get out of here quickly."

Tearbell let out a soft "um" and looked at the retreating Giant Shield Guardian in front of him, "Is he your companion?" ”

Green had no intention of deceiving her, "Summoning creatures. ”

"You're a summoner?" She looked at Green in amazement. There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Green was a little hairy by her gaze, and nodded stubbornly.

The two of them talked. The Stitching Monster's attack became more and more violent, and the Giant Shield Guardian finally couldn't hold it anymore, and when he retreated again and again, he was unsteady on his feet, and even the man fell backwards with his shield.

"Be careful!"

Seeing that the hook in the stitching monster's hand was about to plunge into the shoulder of the giant shield guardian, the tear bell exclaimed, and his hands were raised in the air and quickly swung out the runes. The translucent obscure circle flowed rapidly, flashing in front of the Guardian of the Giant Shield at the last moment, steadily catching the Stitching Monster's attack. The Iron Hook was blocked in mid-air, triggering the desire of the Stitch Monster to attack, and the other two hands swung the Kukri knife and the kitchen knife. Slash at the Guardian of the Shield from different directions.

The tear bell snorted dissatisfiedly, and the purple hair suddenly floated up, and several circles of floating inscriptions instantly flashed in all directions of the stitching monster, like a shield wall composed of countless small shields. The not-so-bright magic array was piled up layer by layer, and it gradually revealed a dazzling light, and the two deformed arms of the stitching monster just waved, and the big arm was forced to stop before it could even stretch out, and the body was twisted and stuck in front of the magic array, and the path of action was completely blocked, and it was impossible to move an inch.

"You're good at defensive magic?" This scene suddenly reminded Green of the scene at the celebration when she hurriedly restrained the attack of the city guards, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. There are thousands of magic in the world, but if you talk about the unpopular, there must be a place for defensive magic.

The application of magic can be traced back to the kings of the Golden Dome, these high gods accepted the powerful power bestowed by Luna, and shared the harvest with the people of gold and silver, and finally came into being magic, the bronze generation is the beneficiary of this powerful power, but it is undoubtedly the most crude way to use, until a thousand years later, the magic emperor Endymion understood the theory of occult blood and the theory of the arcane class, perfected magic and compiled the "Book of Etherbal Magic", which is a thick codex, The various schools of spells are clearly documented, and they are summarized by the four schools of Endimion, Upper, Middle, and Lower, and summarize a set of techniques that are most suitable for the common mages to learn, and this includes a certain amount of defensive magic.

Mage duels, often before releasing offensive magic, will put on defensive magic for themselves, such as shields, rock armor, air defense walls, etc., and even mages who use casting speed as the main point of battle will not completely abandon defensive spells, but choose a fast and strong defensive technique as a means of effective avoidance. But defensive magic is not as simple as a few defensive spells, and all the magic in this series are defensive spells.

It was precisely in this way that Green was surprised, obviously the body was the extremely destructive power of the white giant beast, but after turning into a human form, he practiced defensive magic. When he heard the name of the Patronus before, he thought it was just an honorary title given to her by the kingdom, but now it seems that it is really well deserved.

Tear Bell gave Green a bright smile, "Of course it's not just that! Then even he was surprised, and he didn't know why he showed such a daughter's heart.

But the movements in her hands did not pause in the slightest.

Tear Bell stretched out a slender jade and pointed forward, and several defensive magic rune arrays reacted immediately, and the rare runes that rotated at a uniform speed suddenly accelerated, and the light became more and more dazzling, and a sound similar to reaching a critical value erupted. The invisible specks of light solidified and extended into long strips of light, silently piercing into the body of the Stitching Monster before it had time to retreat.

"Whew——!!"

The stitch monster roared frantically and struggled, so strong that the mucus in its mouth was thrown directly everywhere and emitted a foul smell, but Rao was like this, and those pillars of light were still firmly inserted into its body. It's as if the prison that penetrates into the heavens and the earth locks it up.

"That's ...... Law? ”

Green looked at the stitching monster who was wriggling his body, this time he was really surprised, those pillars of light were not long, they did not rely on the extremely strong hardness to insert into the ground and stuck the stitching monster, but like a kind of "where it is, it can't be moved" law power, this kind of Cheng Dù's power is no longer something that ordinary creatures can grasp.

Green's gaze at the tearful bells added a bit of weirdness.

Unless she's a demigod.

"It's ...... Yes! ”

Tear Bell just wanted to answer, but he didn't expect a black light to flash on his body. Suddenly exclaimed. Green's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously looked at the black cylinder that he had cut off, and then looked back to see the pillar of light on the stitching monster's body shattering inch by inch, and even the magic array in front of it quickly dissipated into the air.

Oops, that thing is a disruptive device!

Green reacted quickly, and before he could explain to Tearbell, he yelled, "Giant Shield Guardian! Press it up! Then he took the tearful hand and ran out. The stitching monster feels like the shackles of his birth are gone. With a roar, he slashed at Green and Tearbell, and a sudden wind rushed forward. There was a loud bang, and the Guardian of the Giant Shield slammed into the giant shield and slammed the Stitch Monster against the wall.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two men hurried out of the gate.

“！”

Green had just taken a few steps out with the tear bells in his arms, when a commotion was heard at the head of the fork in the road, and several men in funeral costumes appeared at the end of the road. Green gave a quick glance at the tear bell, and the purple-haired waist-length woman looked flustered at the moment. It seems that he has not yet recovered from the blow of losing strength.

"Run, I'll leave it here!"

Green almost pushed her into another fork in the road, and rushed over with his half-edged sword without saying a word!

Sword of Segrete!

With such a narrow distance, even if there is no enchantment activation, it is not hindered, and the thrust bonus between Segret is enough for him to exert his powerful combat power. The mourners at the front had just raised their staffs when they were stabbed in half by Green like a string of sugar gourds.

"Ansa's closed room!"

Several mourners in the back shouted at the same time, their voices neat and with some kind of deterrent ability, and the invisible pockets instantly formed and enveloped Green. This magic Green knows that it is still used even in later generations, and its main role is to imprison, once it is locked up, it is difficult to get out without an awakening of strength.

But only if you can lock him up!

Green stepped on his feet in an instant, and his body moved and fell straight back, and then at the moment when the [Ansa's confinement room] hit the ground, the navigation arrows shot out in succession, and they all landed at the feet of the mourner, who had just won the time to cast the spell, only felt that he was being pushed vigorously by someone, and they all rushed towards Green involuntarily, and then saw in horror the young man's sword blade raised, allowing them to brush the sharp blade, leaving a line of blood.

"Damn it, Ghoul Touch!"

The mourner who was lucky enough to avoid the navigation arrow cursed, and seemed to finally understand how to deal with a swordsman like Green, with a little staff in his hand, a simple two-ring spell came almost instantaneously, and Green had just harvested the few mourners who "came to find death" at this time, and he couldn't dodge for a while, and was suddenly hit by the necromancy spell and was paralyzed and couldn't move.

"Hmph, catch him for me, I'll sacrifice him to the Lord of the Eternal Night!" The only remaining necromancer finally had time to unleash the spell that the necromancer was best at, and the staff in his hand flickered open the black door behind him, and several ghouls were summoned from inside, this undead creature that gnawed corpses and bones was in shape, but it was extremely fast, and the order of the necromancer had just been given, and several ghouls had approached less than a meter in front of Grimm.

Seeing that the bone claws of those undead creatures were about to pierce into Green's body, the tempered half-bladed sword in the young man's hand suddenly trembled-

The ghouls waved into the air, looking at the dissipating void in front of them.

But they soon roared in pain, and then turned into a cloud of bones and smoke.

Because their accusers are dead.

Swordsmanship in the past life, shadow sword.

The undertaker's face showed an expression of disbelief, a fatal wound that had been pierced through his chest. Soon deprived him of consciousness and caused him to fall to the ground. Green stood up from behind him, panting slightly, glanced at the tempered half-bladed sword in his hand that shattered the blade of the [Shadow Sword] because he couldn't withstand it, threw down the hilt of the sword without hesitation, picked up a staff with a tip, turned around and chased in the direction of the tearbell.

Phew-

A little white light sped away. Straight into Green's waist bag and shot in.

The Guardian of the Shield is killed.

Green's heart tightened, and he heard heavy footsteps in the distance, the sound of a stitching monster chasing. He gritted his teeth, and with what little strength he had left, he started to walk again to the fork in the road where the tear bell was.

"Yikes!!"

The battle between Green and the mourner was a minute, and the tear bell, which had no strength, seemed to hesitate and couldn't abandon Green, and didn't even go far, the young man who accelerated the sprint rushed to it, and at the moment of passing, he grabbed her waist and ran forward.

"Y-You're okay!" The purple hair was blown almost parallel to the ground by the wind. Tear Bell seemed to have no pain, and looked at the young man who was holding him in surprise, his face was already bloodstained, and the torture of those funeral masters was drenched with blood, but in the eyes of Tear Bell, there was no evil feeling.

She was indeed kind-hearted, but she was also used to killing in this era, but there was never a time when this kind of gore felt so heartwarming.

It's a confusing feeling. She didn't understand why she had found such a different feeling in this young man.

The quick-witted tear thought about it, and suddenly understood it with a slight opening of his mouth.

Because this is a battle for her. Whether it's killing or madness, Yiqiē is all so that she can escape the confines of the Supreme Funeral Society.

Why?

She couldn't help but look at Green's resolute face pursed her lips.

This enigmatic teenager only met him that night, why did he pay so much for himself?

"You...... Who exactly? ”

Grimm, who was running, made a sharp turn into another fork in the road, and suddenly realized that the purple-haired woman leaned her head on her shoulder and snuggled up and whispered.

And at this time. The stitch monster behind it was already in hot pursuit, and it roared and ran, and although it looked large and clumsy, it was actually very impressive due to its tall stature and wide stride. After a few breaths, Green could already smell the stench emanating from its body, and he didn't have time to listen to the muttering of tear bells.

Green gritted his teeth and ran forward with all the strength he had, escaping before the Stitch Monster could catch up. As long as they could enter the Mistier Mountains, it would be impossible for the stitching monsters to lock their bodies in that naturally sheltered environment, and it would be much easier to escape when the time came. But at this moment, Green, who was running wildly, suddenly felt the soles of his feet sink, and at a glance, he suddenly noticed that the place where he was running was actually a bridge built with wooden planks, and the concave touch undoubtedly showed that there was nothing under the wooden planks at the bottom of the cave.

Magic Fist!

Green snapped up and suddenly turned to face the Stitch Monster behind him, only to see that the Stitch Monster was less than two steps away from them, and even closer than it was in the altar.

"You brainless stinky guy, go down and eat!"

He threw down the navigation arrow with one hand, aiming in the direction of fleeing, and with the other hand, he threw down the magic fist that had just been gathered, and the two immediately launched one after the other!

Boom –

The magic fist that burst open was not something that could be blocked by a wooden plank, and the bridge built by the mourner suddenly collapsed, and the stitching monster roared angrily, unable to control the strength under his feet, and directly fell down. Before that, Green had already rushed into the solid ground before the bridge collapsed, holding the tear bells and stepping on the navigation arrow.

"Whew, it's almost."

Green breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard the exclamation of tear bells, "Look, Green!" There is light there! ”

This sentence is simply a ray of light in a desperate situation, and Green, who was already trying his best to kneel, suddenly cheered up when he heard this sentence of tears. Just as he was about to rush over, tears suddenly jumped down from Green's arms, took his hand and smiled at him, "I can run, let's go together!" ”

Green was in a trance for an instant, as if he had seen the woman in the lake.

"Good!"

He nodded. Suddenly, he noticed that the light in the distance suddenly dimmed, and Grimm, who didn't know why, had a bad instinct, and took her hand and ran over. This last stretch of distance was not too long, and the two men quickly ran to the mouth of the cave, and with a few steps to go, Green's vision was clear. It seems that he will be able to escape immediately.

"We're ......!?"

Before he could say the word, Green was shocked to see that he had a fierce man out of the hole, but with his own tears, it seemed to hit the invisible wall, and sat back on the floor of the cave.

Two men also stretched out one arm each, one standing outside the cave, and the other sitting inside the cave, looking at each other in amazement at the entrance of the cave.

"Tear Bells?" He hurried back, grabbed the tearful hand and ran out.

But when he left the cave with all his might. The tear bells that were being held could not be separated no matter what.

Her hand was stuck on the edge of the hole, unable to move an inch any longer.

“…… This is a seal-type seal enchantment. ”

Green was shocked to let go of his hand, and raised his head, but saw that Tear Bell took the initiative to let go of his hand, and said to him with a calm expression.

"You already knew?"

Green ran back without giving up, holding Tearbell's hand and rushing out again, but no matter how many times he tried, Tearbell's hand trembling could only be stopped in the Negative Thinking Cave. Can't get out of it.

"How...... ...... way"

The boy finally gave up, and he sat down on the ground in a daze. Unexpectedly, he asked for information, found the Negative Thoughts Cave on Mount Mystiel, and then fought hard to break into the altar, rescued the purple-haired goddess, and even successfully intercepted the pursuit of the stitching monster. But in the end, it turned out to be such a result.

What is this qiē for?

If all the efforts I have put in are vain in the end, and I am only one step away from success, will I deserve such success and failure?

Green closed his eyes. The uncontrollable sourness made unwilling tears gush down the corners of his eyes.

How can this be......

"Green."

Gentle arms wrapped around Green's neck and around him, the refreshing scent coming from behind him, as if something extremely soft was sticking to his back.

"That's enough."

The boy sat at the edge of the cave, not yet out of the upper part of the cave, so that the tearbells could wrap around him from behind. She pressed her chin to Green's shoulder, and rubbed it gently, like a docile little beast, soothing her master's wounded heart.

"I'm already very happy, it turns out that there are still people in this world who are willing to fight for me."

Green was silent, he still couldn't believe that this was the end, and his mind was desperately trying to figure out a solution.

"Now, Green, where are you from? I've never seen you in the royal city. ”

Tearbell didn't care about his silence either, and continued to his own thoughts.

"Oh, it's not important, actually, I have a question for you."

"You ......"

"Why did you come to save me?"

"Why should you be an enemy of me and the Supreme Funeral Society?"

"Why do you feel unwilling after doing your best?"

Why?

A moment of clarity flashed in Green's eyes, and he asked himself, is it for the mission? If it's for the trial mission, why do you have to work so hard?

He remembered the beauty of the lake on that quiet night.

And that begging that made him feel through his heart.

Tearbell gently pulled Grimm's body and made him look at him. She stretched out her hands and put them on Green's cheeks, which were a little cold, but they made Green feel a warmth in his heart.

She blinked, and there was a determination in her aqua blue eyes.

"Is that okay?"

Green didn't know what she was talking about, so she just nodded subconsciously.

So Tear Bell narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly.

Then she leaned up, closed her eyes, and gently pecked Green on the lips.

A kiss that couldn't have been more natural.

……！！！

What a wonderful touch! The young man's eyes widened suddenly, and his whole thinking paused at this moment, and the honey-like sweetness seemed to be the greatest relief for his body and mind. And when the tear bell pulled back, he subconsciously felt extremely reluctant, and the whole person caught up slightly, and Green, who reacted, suddenly blushed, and his unwillingness and pain all disappeared in this sweet kiss.

He raised his head in shame and looked at the tear bells opposite, the purple-haired goddess at this moment looked like a little fox who had succeeded in stealing, stretching out her bright red tongue and licking it around her lips seductively, seducing Grimm's desire.

But she was quickly stunned, and in her blue pupils, there was a gaze of disbelief.

"You...... What happened to you? I, I was wrong, I shouldn't have ...... Huh? Green was startled and subconsciously apologized, but he reacted that this kiss was not his own request, what kind of apology did he say?

The stiff expression on Tearbell's face softened in Green's puzzlement.

She sneered, looking at Green's eyes with tenderness, as if she suddenly had a lot to say to him, but she wanted to stop talking. Grimm was a little confused by her sudden change and was about to speak, when he saw her stretch out her arm and take his right hand, the thumbs of both hands on his fingers at the same time.

"I see, Green......"

She smiled slightly, tears flickering sporadically in her eyes.

At that moment, Green felt the excitement in her heart, as well as the fiery and sincere emotion.

"So, please, once again."

“…… Wait for me. (To be continued......)
