I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

He could die at any moment.

"Who?"

Mingxian quickly went through the people she knew in this world and had a good relationship with in her mind.

I never expected anyone to be in trouble.

If you're closer to someone, you should be able to immediately picture their cries for help in your mind.

Rather than this mediocre level.

Although I can't remember who it is, as a "hero," I must make a cool "heroic arrival"!

Whether or not to save people is irrelevant.

I mainly like the feeling of fighting monsters while wearing armor.

call--

A gentle breeze caressed the tips of Mingxian's hair, like the most delicate brushstrokes of nature, lightly outlining his instantaneous decision.

Without leaving any warning, it was directly pulled away from the spot.

The ethereal wind instantly traversed space, time, cause and effect, destiny...

He appeared steadily beside Euryth.

"Oh, it's you."

The sound of the zither carried a hint of helpless laughter.

What a coincidence.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, falling on his face and softening his resolute features.

Yulis's school uniform bore traces of corrosion; the carefully arranged fabric was now riddled with irregular holes, like a shattered dream, revealing her snow-white skin.

His face looked extremely pale and haggard, as if he had experienced countless storms in a short period of time.

"How...how did you suddenly appear?"

Yulis's voice carried a hint of doubt as she turned to look at Mingxian, her eyes filled with both surprise and confusion.

“The princess has cried for help, so as a knight, I must come.”

Mingxian's words were brief and somewhat teasing.

“I am a princess, not a knight.” Julis’s tone was cold at first, but then softened. “But thank you for coming anyway.”

"The current situation is beyond your ability to resolve, so you should leave now."

Her voice echoed through the ruins, trembling almost imperceptibly.

After saying that, she used all her strength to support her delicate body with her sword, her gaze passing through the ruins and looking into the distance.

"Sure, Ophelia!"

laugh----

A corrosive sound ripped through the air, and the earth seemed to be suffering from some kind of severe erosion, slowly emitting an unpleasant odor and wisps of smoke.

The sound was like a sharp blade, severing the surrounding tranquility and sending chills down one's spine.

Amidst the ruins, a man in a black suit lay on the ground, his body convulsing, clutching his throat as if poisoned, uttering painful cries.

In front of him was a card box.

The golden emblem on the card box gradually faded, symbolizing the death of the contractor.

Above him, a beautiful figure stood on the ruins.

She was a young girl, dressed in the uniform of the Reiwolf Black Academy, with gloves that reached her elbows. Beneath her swaying skirt, white stockings that went past her knees covered her long and beautiful thighs, as pure and flawless as the first snow of winter.

Her pure white long hair, as white as snow, danced gently in the wind, like an elf dancing gracefully in the forest.

A decaying aura gradually rose from his body.

Pure white and decay.

Purity and poison.

Beauty and danger.

That's the feeling she gives to everyone.

As if she had heard Euryth's words, Ophelia slowly turned around.

That face was like a fairy in a fairyland covered by the first snow, so beautiful that it was beyond description and captivating.

However, what is even more unforgettable is not her astonishing appearance, but the enigmatic expression on her face—

That was a bottomless sorrow.

Her eyes, like the most dazzling crimson rubies in the deep night sky, inadvertently revealed a sorrow about to burst forth, as if they could devour all light and warmth, leaving only loneliness and desolation.

Under this sorrow, even the most radiant face appears exceptionally fragile, as if a gentle touch would turn it into a flurry of snowflakes, vanishing without a trace.

Those eyes met Mingxian's dark eyes.

Time and spacetime froze in that instant.

Cause and effect fell silent in that instant.

Thoughts ceased at that moment.

"..."

"..."

Mingxian's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, fixed firmly on Ophelia, as if he wanted to pierce through her.

Ophelia was equally resolute, responding with the same determination. Their gazes intertwined in the air, forming an invisible net, and an indescribable tension filled the air between them.

Yulis frowned slightly, puzzled by their reactions. She first looked at Mingxian with a questioning gaze, then turned her attention to Ophelia, only to find that the two had strikingly similar expressions on their faces.

That look was like a venomous snake encountered in springtime—cold and deadly, sending chills down one's spine.

All the surrounding noise seemed out of place, leaving only the two opposing sides and the clear and pure feelings between them.

That feeling is called—disgust!

At that moment, every pore on their bodies resisted the other's presence.

Why do such people exist?

Why would I want to see someone like this?

The same thought popped into both of their minds at the same time.

Everything around seemed to have lost its color, leaving only a black and white interwoven scene, like a scene from an ancient drama, where every subtle change in expression carried immense weight, foreshadowing an impending storm.

Finally, the two spoke at the same time.

"A slave to fate."

"Fools who defy God."

That's how the two addressed each other.

Mingxian said in an unprecedentedly cold tone, "No matter how unreasonable or tragic the tragedy, it can only be accepted as long as it is the action of the strong."

"To regard this power as destiny, to have a greater force that determines the course of things, is destiny."

"Giving up everything, abandoning everything, will only lead to lamentation..."

"What disgusting slaves!"

Ophelia spoke softly in a heartbreaking voice: "Why do you defy fate, even the will of the gods?"

"Not for others, not for myself, not for ideals..."

"Just for victory."

"What a foolish thing to do..."

"Accept everything, conquer everything, only fight..."

"What a disgusting fool."

As the two people spoke, Yulis frowned and her mouth opened slightly, completely unable to understand what they were saying.

The only thing I sensed was their undisguised disgust.

Mingxian suddenly said, "It's not me who disgusts you, it's yourself! Because in the face of an invincible power, I chose to resist, while you chose to submit!"

With an expression that looked like she was about to cry, Ophelia declared, "Yes, we've all seen another path we didn't want to see."

If I had chosen to comply at that time...

If I had chosen to rebel at that time...

So……

So……

“I will be the slave.”

"I will be the fool."

The two spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping.

Mingxian: "But I will die."

“Yes, we will all die.” Ophelia nodded.

Mingxian suddenly grabbed Yulis beside him, his iron hands roughly reaching into her clothes, groping around as if searching for something of utmost importance.

"what are you doing!?"

Yulis's face flushed red, her eyes filled with resistance and astonishment.

Mingxian, however, seemed not to hear him. He grabbed the card box and forcefully pulled it from Yulis's body. Then, he casually tossed Yulis aside as if she were nothing more than an insignificant object.

Fierce!

Just then, a crimson flame blazed up around Mingxian, as hot and fierce as hellfire.

He held up the card box in his hand, which was engraved with a golden dragon head emblem.
