An epic duel between humans and monsters lasted for more than an hour.

In the past hour or so, the fierce battle had destroyed the entire vast cavern and almost reduced it to ruins.

Mountains of swords of countless fallen piles littered the ruins, and the remains of white skeletal warriors were scattered in every corner, piled up with rubble and rubble, looking like a cemetery that had been turned out.

Rig stood at the entrance and exit of the cave from beginning to end, watching the fight from beginning to end.

No way.

Once Rige intervenes in this battle, he may be able to take away Ace's experience points, resulting in the great things she needs not be successfully accumulated.

Therefore, except for the first two spells, Rig did not make another move, and quietly watched the battle unfold.

He saw the scene of Ace being knocked into the air countless times.

He also saw the scene of Ace staggering to her feet again and again, and screaming and rushing towards the giant bone monster.

The huge bone monster summoned the pile again and again, summoned soldiers, and surrounded Ace, even if Ace charged and deceived in front of him, it howled and smashed down its giant arm, forcing Ace to death several times.

It can be said that without the two magic spells cast by Rige, Ace would not be able to fight anymore.

Luckily, both of Rieger's magic effects were extremely amazing.

[La Muller] can strengthen the "Durability" ability, and can also greatly enhance the "Agility" ability, and the strength of the effect also depends on the level of Riege's "magic", in the hands of Riege, who has now reached Lv.5, the enhancement range and duration of this magic are quite powerful, which has brought a lot of help to Ace.

[Dia Flattel] is the world's highest healing magic, not only can heal wounds, but also restore physical strength, expelling toxins, eliminating curses, group healing and even continuous effect, thanks to this, the healing effect of this magic has also been working on Ace's body, restoring injuries and physical strength again and again.

In order to make the effects of these two spells work on Ace's body as long as possible, Rieg instilled almost all the spiritual power into them when he chanted these two spells, maximizing their effects and extending their duration to the greatest extent.

With them, Ace was able to stand up again and again, charge again and again, swing her sword again and again, and fight again and again, showing extraordinary willpower and determination.

Of course, Riege, who thought like this, didn't know that what he looked like when he fought was also like this in the eyes of others.

Every time Ace was knocked into the air and smashed to the ground, almost suffocating and in pain to the point that she couldn't stand up, the first thing that came to her mind was what Rieg looked like when she was fighting.

For example, at Lv.1, a crocodile with a classified Lv.2 level was placed on its head, smashing one pillar after another, and rocks one after another, but Rig still fought back desperately, chanting magic, and blasting the opponent away.

For example, at Lv.4, he was blasted away again and again with his flattened arms by an abnormal female-sized monster, but Li Ge still rode the wind and rushed towards the other party relentlessly, slashing countless slashes with his sword.

Finally, what came to Ace's mind was the image of Rieg rushing in front of her with an astonishing speed, holding the sword to her throat.

As soon as she thought of that scene, Ace's determination and determination became more determined and vigorous, supporting her to stand up again and again, rushing to the huge enemy again and again, just like the man who was unconsciously regarded as a "hero" by Ace.

If what Rieg learned from Ace was swordsmanship, magic, and the way and style of fighting, then what Ace learned from Rig was this kind of determination, this kind of will.

Perhaps, even Ace herself didn't realize that she saw a lot of dazzling things from Riege's body, and she unconsciously felt yearning and longing for those dazzling things.

To others, Rieg and Ace seemed to be similar in every way.

Ace thinks so herself.

But she was still thinking-

"I want to run forward like him."

"I want to be like him and keep moving forward."

It's an obsession.

This is a future with no end.

This is also a kind of salvation.

The transparent golden eyes reflected the back of the running in front of her, and Ace desperately sped up as if she wanted to chase him.

"Tempest."

A whirlwind that can be called a storm wraps around the body.

"Tempest."

The hand holding the sword kept exerting force, causing the wind to swell up and down the body.

At this moment, Ace, who was wrapped in a hurricane and held the sword of the wind, like a tornado swept towards the huge enemy, indeed overlapped with the former Rig.

In the same way, Rige unleashed a decisive blow and slashed an enemy that was otherwise difficult to defeat.

It's just that, unlike Rieger, the kamikaze that Ace is about to cast is enough to match the powerful attack magic and be able to break through everything, has a name.

"When you use a special move, you can increase the power of your attack by shouting your name! Eschar! ”

The words of a deceitful god echoed in the girl's heart, causing the girl to cry out loudly.

"[Miniature Wind]!"

This is a one-hit killing technique named by the main god and approved by the partner.

At this point, the blonde girl turns into a spiral of the strong wind and ——— stabbing with divine speed!

"Bang!"

Sword Mountain is penetrated.

"Bang!"

The skeleton of the warrior was minced.

The spiral of the strong wind rushed all the way, piercing through everything, piercing everything, and blasting into its chest in the near-death howl of the giant skeletal monster.

As a result, the bones that protected the monster's chest were all shattered, exposing the huge magic stone that shone with dazzling brilliance to Ace's eyes.

Ace's sword continued unabated, piercing straight into the massive magic stone.

“————”

The howl of the skeleton monster came to an abrupt end.

"Click...... Click-click-click......"

It didn't take long for the magic stone to crack.

Cracks appeared one after another, gradually spreading all over the magic stone, and finally exploded suddenly.

"Whoa, whoa——!"

This time, it was indeed a near-death howl.

The huge skeletal monster raised its head to the sky and howled, its whole body disintegrated and collapsed, and it exploded in one breath, turning into dust in the sky.

The blonde girl also dispersed the strong wind that swirled around her body, and weakly let go of the sword in her hand, and fell from mid-air along with the crystal fragments of the magic stone.

Before losing consciousness, the girl saw it.

The man who seemed to be watching his back just now flew towards him.

......

"[Dia Flattel]."

In a trance, Ace heard such a voice.

The feeling of warmth envelops the whole body, and the pain and soreness that afflict the body gradually disappears.

Ace felt comfortable for the first time in a long time, except that her head was as messy as mush, and it seemed to be accompanied by a slight tingling.

This is a manifestation of excessive mental exertion.

The effects of healing and regeneration can only be applied to the body, not to the spirit.

Therefore, even if the injuries and pain on the body can be cured, the loss of mental power is another matter.

However, if you can defeat a strong enemy just by paying this price, it is already considered earned.

Of course, all thanks to that man, the man who chased him thousands of miles here, and finally chose to support himself, chanted magic for himself, and pushed himself forward behind his back.

Ace opened her eyes and saw him.

He knelt on one knee in the middle of the cave that had turned into ruins, hugged Ace, stepped on the pure white magic array, turned the magic into a miracle of healing, and let countless light particles pour into Ace's body.

Ace looked at him, and he was also looking at herself, looking at each other, but they were speechless.

Ace didn't know what to say.

He just looked at Ace quietly, as if he wasn't going to say anything.

“...... I'm sorry. ”

Ace almost subconsciously lowered her head and said this.

It's a pity that this sentence has not been able to get a response from Li Ge for a long time.

After an unpleasant silence, a sigh reached Ace's ears.

"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry."

Rig whispered that.

"You didn't do anything wrong."

Ace unconsciously raised her head and looked at Rige.

From Rige's eyes, Ace saw self-blame and introspection.

"No, I was wrong." As if he was talking, as if he was talking to himself, he said, "It seems that I have always been only concerned about myself, and it is my fault that I neglect the people around me." ”

This incident really taught Rieg a profound lesson.

All along, Rieger has been thinking about how to grow, how to become stronger, how to move forward, so that he can live his life so that he is no longer as numb and unfree as he was in his previous life.

Rushing forward and moving forward like this, as a result, before he knew it, Rieger left behind many people, not only ran to the front, but also ignored their feelings.

This time, Ace was deeply affected because of this.

If it weren't for the fact that Rieg only cared about verifying his strength, only caring about adapting to his own growth, he could hit the top in front of Ace, who was kind enough to help him adapt to the training, and put the sword on Ace's throat, Ace would not have suffered such a big blow.

I have worked hard for nearly ten years, but I have been fully surpassed by a newcomer who has only joined the family for more than three months, and I was pointed at my throat by the other party with a sword, that feeling must be extremely uncomfortable, right?

Thinking of this, Li Ge felt that it was indeed time for him to reflect on it.

"In the future, I'll have to pay attention to the people around me." Li Ge looked at the girl lying in his arms, smiled, and said, "Thank you for making me realize this important thing." ”

In his previous life, he failed to get the longing for family affection, nor did he get the longing friendship and love.

In this case, in this life, I can't repeat these mistakes either.

Even if you want to move forward and run, you can't forget that there are people around you who care about you and accompany you.

Realizing this, Rieg felt that his impetuous heart had become much calmer.

Of course –

"The same goes for you."

Rig looked at Ace and said this.

"Don't forget, there are people watching over you by your side."

Hearing this, Ace looked at Rig in a daze, looking at the heartfelt smile on Rieger's face.

Heartbeat, slightly accelerated.
