Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

As a diviner, Ragna was fully aware of her fate being corrupted by evil spirits. She suppressed her grief and pretended to be indifferent and unconcerned.

Some of the human warriors who came with her have been transformed into collapsed entities.

As she was lost in thought, a voice called out in her ear: "Lagna, you went to the entrance of the main camp. What's the situation there?"

The voice that Ragna was aware of came from Yuki, who was very close to her. It was Yuki's company that made her feel a little more relaxed along the way.

But just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly realized something: she hadn't heard anyone speak; the sound had acted directly on her mind, meaning...

Ragna didn't dare turn around; she didn't dare look, nor did she dare face her own heart.

Fate is so cruel.

The fortune teller took a deep breath of the cold air, his hands, hidden in his sleeves, gripping the powerful tarot cards tightly.

65. Ragnar, I'm your hero!

Ragna gritted her teeth and refused to respond even when she heard someone calling her from behind.

Her friend turned into a collapsed entity, and all her experiences along the way became horror stories that only appear in novels.

At that moment, Ragna, feeling the pain, finally understood Simone's despair.

But Simone had already crossed the Wall with the Sami heroes' expeditionary force more than ten days ago, heading towards the birthplace of the demons.

"Lagna, what's wrong? Is something not going well?"

The faceless Yukishi took a few steps closer.

No longer aware of her distorted perception, Ragna felt a deep chill creep over her. She moved her shoulders and whispered, "I'm alright."

Something seemed to fall from her hand to the ground, and then a figure emerged from the shadows behind the fortune teller.

The moment the Phantom appeared, it saw the collapsed body a few meters away and immediately waved its hand, scattering a series of talismans.

In an instant, a beam of golden light shot into the sky, turning the overcast weather into a bright and sunny day.

Seeing this from headquarters, Mike nodded slightly and said, "Phantom has succeeded. Everyone, prepare to move out!"

Several snowmobiles, already prepared, sped away, leaving clearly visible tracks in the vast snowfield.

……

Ragna straightened up with a complicated expression. Golden light fell on her shoulders, and wisps of black energy emanated from her body.

"My friend, no, you are dead."

However, when her snow-worshiping friend touched the golden light, she let out a painful howl, staggered backward, and looked for a place to shield herself from the light.

Having completed the initial work, Phantom looked at Ragna's retreating figure and said hoarsely, "Miss Far Mountain, there are too many collapse bodies here. The talismans the Doctor gave me can't last much longer. If you don't have a way to deal with a large number of collapse bodies, I suggest we evacuate immediately."

“Mr. Phantom, many of the people here were brought out by me. Now they have died from the corruption of the demons and transformed into collapsed beings. I must…”

Before Ragna could finish speaking, the two of them saw several snowmobiles speeding towards them in the distance.

Taking advantage of the golden light overhead, these snowmobiles quickly dismantled the chaotic, collapsed mass, with some even jumping off the vehicles to launch continuous attacks on the enemy.

Sitting behind Andorn, Mike held a megaphone and shouted, "Chongyue, hurry up and smash the Shaman Collapse! Those guys are the biggest threat! Typhon, go rescue Ragna! If she loses even a hair, I'll send Magellan as bait! Andorn, activate your domain! Evasion and damage reduction are essential! Feathered Serpent, unleash Blizzard! Don't let the Woodcrack Warriors throw their axes..."

In fact, the doctor didn't need to shout. The team members knew what to do. Having gone through several battles, they had already worked together quite well, and each person could give full play to their role.

As Andorn unleashed his light and bestowed suffering, he raised his revolver and fired at the chaotic mass of collapsed beings. Five bullets crisscrossed and bounced, and the collapsed beings of the Wood Crack Warriors, who were not yet in the right state, fell to the ground one after another.

Typhon, who had rolled onto the snow, kept drawing his bow and firing, each shot taking the life of a collapsing creature.

The Sarkaz girl showed no pity for these corrupted dead.

She turned around and saw that Mike, now back in his balanced form, jumped off the snowmobile in Andorn, picked up a hand axe, and charged at the human warriors who were forming ranks to protect themselves.

"Everyone, look this way! Break through in my direction!"

The golden light overhead finally dissipated, and the suppression of the collapsing body by the talisman was greatly reduced. The chaotic corrupted beings regained their senses and, with their unique understanding, raised their weapons against the still-living beings, intending to transform these people into their own kind.

Yukisa, who had initially fled alone, regained the upper hand. Although Phantom had inflicted considerable damage on it, it was twice as strong as it was in its human form against the negative life form that had been enhanced by the demon!

"careful!"

Ragna shouted, her fingers flipping through Tarot cards. Some cards spun rapidly, like sharp throwing knives, while others flew in mid-air and transformed into surging Originium Arts, engulfing the Snow Ritual's collapsed body as she raised her hands to cast a spell.

Phantom heard Ragna's shouts and noticed that the Snow Sacrifice Collapsed Form was targeting him.

In reality, his threat is not fatal to the long-lived Collapsed Being, but his attack rhythm is too fast, often interrupting the Snow Sacrifice Collapsed Being's spellcasting rhythm.

In order to free up more time to deal with Ragnarok, the Snow Sacrifice Collapsed Body had to prioritize eliminating the annoying Phantom.

Just as the frost spell was about to unleash, Phantom reached his right hand to his shoulder, pulled out a black-faced, red-based cloak from his back, wrapped it around his body, and suddenly shrank into a ball until he disappeared.

Such an exaggerated scene caused the collapsed Xuesi to lose its target lock and immediately turn to face the dumbfounded Ragna.

"Ragna, my dearest friend, let us fall into the abyss of darkness together!"

A frost spell, powerful enough to end everything, materialized and crashed down on Ragnar on the opposite side.

……

This is my destiny.

For no reason at all, this sentence came to Ragna's mind.

She performed divination for countless people; some sought wealth, some pursued love, and others sought greater power.

Having traveled across Terra for so many years, she had experienced far more exciting things than she had in her small town of Sami, but only today did she realize how ridiculous fate could be.

In the face of true death, no one can escape it.

Her snow-worshiping friend was transformed into a collapsed entity, and even accompanied her all the way. To this day, Ragna still doesn't know what her friend was thinking before she died.

The most emotional thing he said to her after transforming into a collapsed entity was that he wanted her to fall into the abyss of nothingness together.

Indeed, fate is just that ridiculous.

"Now is not the time to give up."

A slightly flippant voice rang out.

The man in the black coat ran his hands through the hair that fell on either side of his forehead. His tall figure obscured Ragna, and as he ran his hands upward, the hair standing on his head looked like sharp blades.

Immediately afterwards, the man bent down slightly, stepped back with his left leg, and placed his hand on his waist as if he were carrying a long knife.

No, there really is a knife there.

Ragna watched as the man drew a long, gleaming sword.

At the same time, blue flames rose from his body, and slender lightning bolts twisted and danced like snakes.

The moment he drew his longsword, blue light swirled around him, and the overwhelming frost magic was torn apart and scattered by his blade, posing no threat whatsoever, as if a light snowfall were falling.

Ragna stood there dumbfounded, her mind filled with one question: what exactly had just happened?

She only saw the man draw his knife, swing it, and then everything settled down.

When Mike turned around, the hair that had been standing on top of his head fell down.

He watched as Ragna ran over to check on the situation, while the collapsed snow shrine behind him took two steps forward, its legs buckled, and it knelt on the snow, turning into pieces of shattered ice.

Until her death, Xue Si left no more words.

Mike sheathed his longsword, and the sword and scabbard together vanished as starlight.

Ragna had already stood before him, and the man asked with a smile, "So, would you consider me your hero?"

"Hero, what do you think a hero is?"

Ragna stared at his face, a face that was slightly unfamiliar and didn't resemble the thin doctor at all.

Mike stroked his chin and replied, "In a story where a hero saves a damsel in distress, you should then say that such a favor can never be repaid and can only be repaid with the rest of your life."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ragna stepped forward and delivered a heavy punch to the man's abdomen.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you just said."

Ragnar's cold reply was like a punch to Mike—no, she really punched Mike.

The doctor clutched his stomach, thinking to himself, "This woman has so many tricks up her sleeve; she truly lives up to her reputation as a fortune teller. She handles trouble with such ease."

"Thank you."

Ragna said in a low voice.

Mike didn't hear him clearly and quickly asked, "What did you just say?"

"No, it's nothing."

……

With the Snow Sacrifice Collapsed Body eliminated, the remaining enemies were no match for them. Mike's team cleared the battlefield as quickly as possible. When Ragna came to take a headcount, she discovered that of the more than two hundred people who had followed her, less than thirty remained, and everyone was wounded and in low spirits.

As the leader of the entire team, Ragna could not lead this remnant army back the way they came. They needed to replenish the supplies they had consumed along the way and restore their low morale. If they ran back directly and encountered the Collapsed Body again, their fate would be total annihilation.

Mike noticed Ragna's sad expression. Before he could comfort her, the fortune teller said, "On the Sami Icefield, everyone takes life and death lightly. After all, returning to the River Styx and going through the cycle of life and death, the soul will transform into the flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects, and fish on this icefield. Death is not the end for us, but the beginning of a new cycle."

Mike didn't speak, standing quietly to the side listening to the fortune teller's self-comforting words.

Then, Ragna forced a smile and said, "It seems I can't help you. I'm sorry."

Mike shook his head: "No, it's nothing. What I'm doing in the Sami Icefield is something you can't help me with."

Ragna clenched her fists secretly, thinking to herself, "Why is this guy still as inarticulate as ever?"

Her expression was somewhat stiff, but she still said apologetically, "It's a real shame, it's my fault that I couldn't help you."

Mike's team also completed the headcount. In addition to his team members, there was a 30-person squad that had caught up from behind. Everyone was only slightly injured and there were no casualties, which was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

"Let's leave here first, and discuss this further once we reach headquarters."

……

Alqi sat quietly in her office, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling window. When she saw a golden light flashing on the horizon, illuminating the entire land in gold, she knew that the battle had come to an end.

The man wouldn't let Ragna get hurt, and their eighth meeting ended perfectly.

Of all the Cyclops's many prophecies and explorations of the future, this was just one that most likely came close to the truth, but the current situation still exceeded her expectations.

Sami's heroes left the Wall for the North, and Simone did the same, accompanied by another powerful warrior.

If something were to happen to them in the north, it would be a devastating blow to the Sami.
