"The truth? I don't know if I can be that strong. Ulysses felt the sword of wind in his hand, and he did feel the wind much stronger than when he first came to this world.

It was a gradual growth, and the more battles he experienced, the more enemies he defeated, and the clearer the breath of the wind that wrapped around him.

But compared to Lala, this growth is really insignificant. Such gorgeous swordsmanship, such a steady mentality, no matter which aspect throws him away, so that he can only see a taller and taller back.

That is the "hero", the strong man who can do what ordinary people can't do and lead people to victory.

"You have a very strong hidden power, but you haven't been able to use it properly. Someday, you will also become a real powerhouse. "Lara didn't underestimate Ulysses, how could the holder of one of the four elemental holy swords be weak.

Chosen by the winds of freedom, he has great potential that even he didn't know he had. Even in this garden of struggle, it is a force that can determine victory or defeat.

"Ah, Lala, another star in the sky has spread out. Ulysses looked at the distant sky and said with some incomprehension.

At the end of his line of sight, a star was disintegrating into countless rays of light, eventually turning into a brilliant firework that spread across the sky.

It would have been incredible to see the stars during the day, and it was even more incredible to see them spread out with his own eyes, but in this strange world, Ulysses had witnessed similar phenomena several times.

"It seems that there are not many people left. Lara had seen the same phenomenon several times before meeting Ulysses, but unlike Ulysses, who didn't know anything, she understood the significance of this phenomenon very well.

The stars that appear in the sky of this garden of struggle at this moment are not the stars of reality, but represent the "seeds" that have come to this battlefield.

The fall of each star also represents the defeat of a chosen one with a "sword", and they no longer have any chance to come back in this cruel battlefield.

This is not a "trial", but a "war". In this cruel battlefield where there is no chance of a new come, those who die here lose all hope.

The "sword" that brought them strength, their desire to complete the battlefield they chose every choice, and even their lives, were shattered together with their defeat here, which was even more cruel than death.

In this world, the most desperate thing is not death, but the loss of hope. This garden of struggle is to bet on that kind of "hope" and choose the place where the strongest can be selected.

"One, two, three, four, five...... Lala, there are nine stars left. Ulysses carefully counted the remaining stars in the sky, which was equivalent to reporting the remaining number of fighters to Lara.

Well, it means that there are still nine people left in the garden of struggle, but the middle one...... It was the first time Lara had seen a star like that, and it was so special compared to the other stars.

It was an unusually beautiful star, but it was impossible to see clearly. Its light is the most beautiful of all the stars, but it is surrounded by a faint mist, and no matter how hard you try to observe, you can't see its essence through that fog.

Lara was no exception, even though she had fought many times in this garden of struggle, she had never seen such a special star.

In addition, the one in the east is also very striking, this star has the brightest of all the stars, and it continues to increase in brightness over time, almost obscuring the light of all but the most central star.

And in the northernmost place is Lala's own star, an ordinary star that radiates a cold glow, not too bright and not too low, like the most ordinary star.

The southernmost is a small sun-like star, second only to the one in the east in white-gold brilliance.

In the westernmost part is a distorted purple star with a gloomy appearance, full of eerie colors.

The rest of the stars, most of which have faded in color, and a few of them are crumbling and approaching the brink of falling.

The eventual victor will probably appear in these five, and based on her own experience in the garden war, Lara has come to this conclusion.

Despite her many victories on the battlefield in the Garden, this time the battle was undoubtedly stronger than any previous one, and perhaps the battle would be more difficult than she had imagined.

Even if it is her, she can't say that she will definitely win the final victory, and that kind of arrogant self-confidence will never appear in her.

Fight, fight with all her might, fight until the last moment no matter what the outcome is, in order to protect justice, she must do this, she must do it.

............ "Are there still nine more after killing so many?" In the ruins, the blue-eyed woman looked at the stars in the sky, shook the long hair behind her and swallowed the white crystal in her palm.

All around her, there was a vast white land of ice crystals, and countless strange-shaped creatures still maintained their last movements and stayed in place.

They are illusions created by the Ice Xiang Phantom Sword, cold and ruthless demons. However, these demons who were supposed to devour all the breath of life and turn everything into frozen powder were now still.

That's because the magic sword that summoned them has vanished into this world, and everything has been shattered, along with its owner. And it was only one hand that caused all this, a hand that could crush the stars.

"It's not enough, more needs to be done. After wiping the corners of her mouth, the blue-eyed beauty, who was obviously not satisfied, shattered all the ice and snow with one kick, and then continued to set off for the next destination.

The shadow creatures that occupied the ruins and were supposed to attack all the intruders hid in the deepest tunnels, trembling and waiting for the unknown creature to leave.

It was a fear that even the transformation techniques of the Magic Emperors could not suppress, and the coercion that directly shook their souls transcended the death tremors of reason and orders.

The human female surname shattered all of their will to fight with just one look at them, and that fear overwhelmed their desire to kill for life.

They instinctively knew that even if they all swarmed up, killing them would be as simple as pinching an ant to death for that monster.

That's definitely not "human".
