The holy mist that surrounds Fuguang Island is produced from the water of life, a magical mist derived from the power of the world's runes.

This white mist, which has completely enveloped the entire island of Fukuko for thousands of years, does not have the healing effect of the water of life, but it can completely disorient the creatures who enter it.

The reason why Fuguang Island can hide in the world and become a legendary "utopia" that everyone yearns for is because of the Holy Haze.

However, Vasani's scholars, through their research, have long since discovered the fatal flaw of the Holy Mis.

The white mist does not dissolve in the sea, nor can it completely cover the sky of Fukuko Island.

After all, in Fuguang Island, the blue sky overhead and the bright stars at night can be clearly seen.

In other words, it's not just the human-tamed Kamavia dragon that might break through the Haze from somewhere in the sky.

If there are Vastayas who are proficient in water, they can also break through the white mist from the bottom of the sea and enter Fuguang Island.

Time is pressing, and Josh takes Ahri's hand and hurries back to Heliya.

At this time, the city was in chaos.

The enemy is now, and the dragon roars.

The golem puppets in Vasani's vault have been awakened by the Vasani to guard the harbor and the Avenue of Scholars.

Fortunately, Josh's earlier evacuation proposal to the council was proposed to the elders, and the elders remembered that the guards in the city had already begun to evacuate the panicked populace.

"-Roar!"

As if bewitched by the thick fog and unable to break into the island, the Kamavia dragon let out another angry roar, but its figure was more conspicuous than when Josh was still in the Ancient Woods.

[Looking at this posture, it should take less than half an hour for this giant dragon to find a way to break through the white fog.] 】

Lunicia's tone was unusually serious, but the excitement in her words could not be concealed.

[Boy, are you ready to slay the dragon? 】

Josh ignored Lunicia for the time being, he had already seen Yarrow and Lynn running in this direction from the chaotic crowd.

"Raccoon!"

Rin's eyes were red, she covered her mouth and nose to suppress her sobs, and rushed over quickly, followed by Yarrow,

"Daddy, Mommy......"

A family of three reunited in the chaos, Ahri hugged his parents and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Yarrow and Rin's faces were not at ease.

"Your prophecy has come true!" Yarrow looked very solemn, "We must get out of here, follow the escape route you arranged before, those Kamavians won't find out!" ”

Ahri turned around and took Josh's hand, his expression full of pleading, "Josh, come with us!" ”

However, Josh just shook his head, "No, I can't leave. ”

He sniffled, looked directly into Ahri's tear-glinting eyes, and barely managed to squeeze out an unnatural smile, "Didn't we talk about this before?" Don't you believe in my strength? ”

"But......" Ahri's face froze, "you were only talking about fighting against Kamavia's army, but now, it's a dragon!" ”

[It's just an ordinary flying dragon species, what's so scary? Lunicia said excitedly, [It's not an elemental dragon that Ishtar can enchant, when this animal lands, just cut off its head with the Dance of Death!] 】

Say it easily!

Josh secretly scolded, and the tight heartstrings were not loosened by Lunicia's words.

"Ahri, be obedient, we made an appointment before."

Josh caressed Ahri's face and wiped away the tears that were about to slip from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't forget my strength, with Lunicia's help, it'll be fine."

Josh doesn't want to set a flag at such a time, but in order to comfort Ahri and keep her out of danger, Josh has to do it.

The dragon's figure became clearer, and Yarrow urged, "Ahri, I believe Josh can take care of himself, we should go!" ”

Crystal tears fell, Ahri knew that Josh would rarely regret what he decided, and he also knew that staying here would only become a burden if he was not proficient in combat, so he pursed his lips and stopped persuading.

However, before parting, Ahri walked up to Josh and put her right hand around his neck while standing on tiptoe to give him a deep kiss.

In a moment, Ahri returned to her parents and pulled out half of her Emero Stone from her pocket, squeezing out a smile on her teary face.

"Remember you promised me, there must be no trouble!"

……

……

Ahri follows her parents to another evacuation bay away from Helia, which Josh had agreed with them.

In the face of the attack of Foyego and the elite knights of Camavia, the Iron Order, Josh was confident that he could protect himself, but the fact that Ahri stayed here really made him unable to let go.

Even the fragments of the world's runes could no match for Foyego, who wielded the sword of kings, and he was able to teleport out of the reach of the curse of ruin through arcane teleportation.

But only if Josh can fight without worries.

Heading straight from Halia's Circular Harbor along Scholar's Avenue to the Tower of Light, Josh caught a glimpse of Margusa and the others under the protection of more than a dozen golems and guards.

As soon as they saw Josh, Tyrus and Ruize, who were hiding next to a golem, away from the elders, immediately greeted them, followed by a pair of curly-haired twin sisters in their teens and a younger boy.

Frightened, they clutched at the hem of Tyrus' grey robe.

It was the children of Tyrus who had lost his parents in the early years, and Tyrus took good care of them as if they were his own.

It's just that Tyrus, as an explorer, lacks skills and can't afford to adopt and take care of them anymore, so he can only entrust them to the welfare home.

In the past six months, Josh has re-acquainted with them and got along quite happily.

Seeing Josh, a little boy named Tolu suddenly ran to Josh's side and hugged his legs, "Brother Josh! ”

Josh rubbed Tolu's shaggy hair and smiled at him, then looked up at Tyrus with a frown, "Why didn't you send the kids away?" ”

Tyrus shook his head bitterly, and did not answer, but pointed to the main entrance of the Shining Light Tower behind the Golem, in the direction of the Elder.

Because of the noisy environment, there was a huge puppet on the side of the Shining Light Tower, and Josh just now didn't see the situation over there.

It wasn't until he got closer that Josh realized that the guards were raising their weapons and waiting for them, and the elders were arguing with someone.

"Callista?"

When he saw the familiar woman in the crowd being protected by a bald giant man who was half a body taller than her, Josh was shocked and immediately ran over.

"How did you get in?!"

"Josh ......" Callista, who was arguing with Toad-faced Bartek, turned her head and looked happy, "Explain to them, I'm here to help you!" ”

Josh pushed past the guards and approached the men and women who were surrounded by them.

The bald man with his left hand holding a shield and his right hand already pressed against the hilt of his sword, but the bald man who had never pulled it out glared at Josh with fierce eyes.

However, Callista reached out and put his hand on her forearm to comfort her: "Ledros, don't be nervous......"

[Huh, this is Ledroth?] 】

Lunicia was surprised by the size difference between the two, and was fed half a year's ration by Josh and Ahri, and her thoughts couldn't help but deviate from the topic.

[This guy can't have troll blood, right?] Such a big difference in body size, how can this ......]

Lunicia suddenly realized what she was talking about and immediately shut her mouth.

Then, she scolded in annoyance: "Damn! Josh, you and your little fox have affected me! 】

"Is this the time to think about this?"

While Josh was mentally unangry to answer, he walked up to Callista and asked solemnly, "How did you get in?" ”

Callista had left a waystone before leaving, could it be that Grell gave her two?

But Callista has an honest temperament, and she shouldn't be such a person......

Asked by Josh, Callista really hesitated, "I ......"

"How do you think she got in?!"

At that moment, Bartek, whose face was flushed and his wrinkled old face trembled, walked into the circle of guards, pointed at Josh and Callista and scolded angrily, and his saliva was splashing.

"It's all you! There will be today's disaster on Fuguang Island, and none of you can escape! ”

"Fuck you!" Ledroth's temper was unbearable, "Cally and I obviously came back with your explorers to report to you and come to help you, but you want to slander us like this!" ”

He took Callista's hand and glared fiercely at the elders and masters who were still arguing, "Carly, let's go!" Stop paying attention to these fools who indulge in the bubble of privilege! ”

"Bold!" Bartek's cloudy eyes widened, and the Holy Stone Scepter, which was both a staff and a crutch in his hand, pointed at Ledroth, "It's so insulting...... Take them down for me! ”

However, the next moment, with a crisp sound of "pop", Bartek's left face immediately swollen a large lump, even two teeth fell out, and his mouth was bloody, looking unbelievable.

And the person who slapped him was Josh, who had just taken advantage of their argument and walked up to Bartek.

"You, you're ......"

"Old thing, I've been fucking putting up with you for a long time!" Josh scolded in disgust.

"At the moment of crisis, the dragon overhead is about to break through the Holy Mist, and the army of Kamavia is also looking for a way to break through the Holy Mist outside the fog, and you, you are still arguing about who is right and who is wrong!

"I have asked you half a year in advance to prepare for the invasion of foreign enemies, but you feel that the Holy Mist can withstand all enemies, and even the militia will not be trained, let alone defend the city walls.

"So far, you haven't realized that your decision was wrong, but you want to dump the black pot on us?!"

Josh pulled off the dance of death tied with a string on his chest, and the hideous scarlet knife instantly turned into its original form, wrapped all over its body with a black glow that represented the gloom of death.

"Josh ......"

The other elders and masters did not dare to step forward at this time, and Margusa, seeing that the situation was not good, was about to step forward to stop it, but was stopped by Tyrus.

"Don't worry, Josh is measured." Tyrus whispered.

The guards didn't dare to act without the archbishop's words, but just got into the halberd, staring at Josh blankly, at a loss.

Bartek was startled, thinking that Josh was trying to kill him, so he burst into tears and crawled behind the guards on all fours, so as not to be embarrassed.

Josh didn't pay any attention to Bartek's meaning, his red eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at the almost completely visible black dragon, and ordered the guards in an unquestioning tone:

"You take strict precautions against the movement of the Holy Mist, and I will go and deal with that livestock first!"

……

……

Seeing that there are questions from book friends, here is a non-spoiler disclosure in advance.

I definitely won't write about amnesia.,It's said before that it's a vulgar routine.,Everyone can rest assured.。

It's just that the curse of ruin is bound to happen, as the title of this chapter suggests.

Also, Ahri isn't going to be a vase for selling meat!
