For the first time in my life, I was so close to death.

I could clearly see that the pale green wind energy bullets that were spinning towards me were full of restless little whirlwinds that were jumping up and down; At the same time, I could clearly hear my heartbeat suddenly speeding up because of fear and fear.

I touched my neck, I didn't think about the protection of the holy light to be activated, and I pinched it vigorously in the temple, where I could reach it, killing the earth elemental demigod puppet given to me by Gordon, the main god of the earth element, and leaned myself against the boulder behind me in a distracted way.

In fact, I still have a beautiful but easily shattered wish in my heart - crossing is just a dream, maybe I die in the dream, or I wake up, I will return to my cozy, less than 20 square meters of small room. Mom and Dad are still sitting on the sofa in the living room, Dad crosses Erlang's legs, and expresses his opinions while reading the current affairs in the newspaper; My mother used her mobile phone to shop on Taobao, and occasionally fell in love with a piece of clothing, but after hesitating for a long time, she was reluctant to buy it.

When he saw me coming out of the room, my dad would reprimand me, 'I'm so old and I like to sleep so much!' ’； My mother helped me heat up the steamed porridge and put it on the table with chopsticks.

Unfortunately, this cruel wind bomb easily shattered it.

The possibility of shattering this one is very, very small, but I have always been unwilling to give up, the deepest desire buried deep in my heart.

Unfortunately, this one wind bomb told me the cruelty of reality.

It's all true. A real otherworld, a real temple, a real Ellie, a real fight, and a really, fearful, scared, wounded - I'm going to die.

I just leaned against the stone in embarrassment, crying and laughing uncontrollably.

Ellie was a little overwhelmed, she thought about it, first knocked out the thick-backed rhinoceros that had caused me to be a little mentally abnormal, and then gently and slowly walked to my side, gently leaned into my arms, and then hugged me tightly, as if I was afraid that I would disappear.

Maybe this area is the territory of this thick-backed rhinoceros, until the sun is about to set, and there are no other magical beasts to disturb us. Ellie and I have been in this position, saying goodbye to the sun and welcoming the moon.

"Ellie, I'm sorry, I..."

Ellie covered my mouth with her little hand and shook her head gently, "Don't apologize to me, Nolon. It doesn't matter what kind of life you live or what kind of identity you have. The important thing is that now, I leaned into Nolon's arms, and my heart felt warm. I hope that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, a month, a year, ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years later, I can still be like today, lying quietly in your arms, sitting on a grass, leaning against a stone or something, watching the sunset with you. ”

"Yes, Ellie, I promise!" (If I finish here, will I be killed・・・・・)

As the sun went down, Ellie and I went back to our old camp and let Bobby, who had been in the temple for the day, play. As for the thick-backed rhinoceros? Who knows? Maybe I'm still dizzy there.

After tidying up the mood that had fluctuated violently today, Ellie and I went into the tent to get ready for bed. If it was, I was still a little uncomfortable sleeping with Ellie, but after today, I naturally think of her as one of my closest people. (Eri-chan says she's happy)

The next time I see Viona and them, I'll have to apologize for not saying goodbye to them. It was my last thought before I fell asleep.

―――――――――――― the dividing line of fever――――――――――――――

"Blade of Rock!"

Looking at the corpses of more than twenty barren cliff coyotes in one place, and the ice elves and earth elements standing on the sidelines, I silently took out the daggers and checked whether they had magic cores in their bodies one by one.

It's been three days since the previous thick-backed rhinoceros encounter. In the past three days, although I have not increased much in strength, my mental outlook has been renewed.

With strong willpower and a correct mentality, from the first time I shot a lone barren cliff coyote with a rock blade, I gradually adapted to this bloody and life-and-death battle.

Like today, surrounded by a pack of barren cliff coyotes, I will summon earth elementals and ice spirits, bless myself with rock skin and the power of the earth, and then use the protection of the earth to rush into the wolves for a one-sided harvesting battle. The coyotes of the Cliff didn't do much damage to me, and as long as they didn't use their wind blades to set fire, there would be some minor bites and scratches at most, and under Ellie's magic, there would be no scars.

Yesterday I encountered an LV20 earth elemental, and the rock blade didn't hurt him much, so I still attacked, shielded, and defended, and rushed up with both hands to fight it hand-to-hand with the Titan Combat Technique, but after dismantling this earth element, I also became blue and swollen, and lost more than a third of my health.

In three days, the experience points gained by defeating monsters, and some daily tasks will be released by the system (many of which are training plans set by Ellie), and I am not far from Titan Mage LV2 now. As I fought for the past three days, my Titan Skill Mastery Points continued to rise until it was 99/100. Ellie said that the final step of the Titan's skill upgrade needs to be realized by herself, and it cannot be improved by training alone. Looking at the sky, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, Ellie and I had left the Cliff Mountains, and Poppy should take one last steel shower.

Since there was no renewal, the room that Ellie and I booked at the Hill Hotel was probably expired, so we simply went to the vicinity of the Fullmetal Alchemy Guild to find a small hotel that looked good and rented a room for half a day.

After a simple shower and a change of clothes, I changed from a professional who had just come down from the Barren Cliff Mountain Range to a handsome and charming alchemist. I took Ellie, got the alchemy card from Miss Potsdam at the door, and came to this alchemy room again.

Perhaps it was because I knew that this was the last time I would take a 'hot' bath, and after reluctantly licking every drop of molten steel in the pool, Poppy was willing to be accepted into the temple. I pulled Ellie, who was amused by Bobby's cute appearance, and smiled at our Miss Potsdamer, who had bought a large amount of steel before leaving, and walked out of the Fullmetal Alchemy Guild and called for a rental carriage.

"Go to Cage Comptoir." I got into the car with Ellie in my arms and commanded the driver.

"Yes, sir, sit tight." The coachman shook the reins and drove the carriage slowly onto the road.

PS: The head is still dizzy, this chapter is to make up for yesterday, and now I don't owe it. Ask for collections, ask for recommendations!
