A thin line swept across the sky and across Phossonus's neck.

Then time seemed to stand still for a moment.

When time began to flow again, the fiery bird that Ron was facing vanished in an instant.

The flames scattered, and although the magic within them remained, they had lost their initial power.

Ron didn't even need to defend himself; he was able to withstand the flames that landed on him.

Looking at Phossonus again, his face still showed anger and resentment, but there was also a hint of surprise.

A second later, Phossonus's head was removed from his body.

His head and body separated and fell from the sky in two pieces, yet even so, Phossonus was still able to make a sound:

"Damn it! Damn it!! Is it you? It's you, isn't it!! Cleos!! You can actually use legendary magic...! Damn it...!"

"..."

No one responded to Phossonos.

Instead, a slightly cold female voice suddenly rang in Ron's ears: "...One of his cores is in his head. You go and destroy his head, and I'll destroy his body."

"!"

Ron's heart skipped a beat. Hearing the voice, he didn't ask who it was. He just stared at the falling head of Phossonos and vanished from the spot in an instant.

Ron brought the two daggers together, turning them into a double-edged sword.

The power of darkness and ice was instantly infused into the double-edged sword by Ron.

The sword began to tremble, and magical light spots adhered to the double-edged blade.

Ron's speed increased rapidly, and in a short time he became a straight line, wielding the double-edged sword and instantly piercing through Phossonos's head!

A crescent moon bloomed above Phossonus's head, and the head that was still cursing exploded in mid-air!

Ultimate move – Crescent Moon Slash!

Whether it was Ron's imagination or not, he seemed to hear a crisp cracking sound when he chopped off Phossonus's head.

It was as if something had been chopped up by Ron along with it.

That must be the 'core' that the mysterious expert was talking about earlier, right?

However, it seems there's more than one core?

Ron thought to himself, looking toward the fallen body of Phossonos.

The opponent's body was still burning with flames, and he even adjusted his body in mid-air before crashing to the ground like a hero, creating a large crater.

Ron's gaze sharpened. He didn't have time to think about why the voice he was talking to hadn't delivered the finishing blow.

All he wanted now was to quickly destroy the fallen body!

But just as Ron was about to press his advantage against the remaining body, someone was faster than him and arrived in front of the headless body first!

It was a golden light.

It could even be described as golden lightning.

She was faster than Ron, and faster than the mysterious powerful figure who had just made the sound, and crashed directly into the body of Phossonos, who had just landed.

Not only did she ram her headless body into Phossonus's arms, but she also swung her golden fist and slammed it hard into Phossonus's body.

"Die...! Die, die, die, die, die, die, die!! Give... Ron... give Ron back to me!!!"

The golden figure pounded Phossonos's body into a bloody pulp with her haphazard fists, crying and wailing as if she were the one being hammered.

But Ron was suddenly stunned when he heard the other person's cries.

Selena...?

This…this person radiating golden light, is…Selena?!

Are you kidding me?!

……

Selena remembers.

I first met Ron when I was five years old.

That day, she happened to be visiting a neighbor's house with her father, where she met this little boy who was not very old.

Ron was very thin back then. He sat on a chair with railings at home, idly playing with a spoon in his hand.

Selena felt at that time that Ron was not like a child.

Because he only glanced at Selena before turning back to playing with the spoon, as if the spoon was prettier than Selena.

But Selena didn't feel angry at the time; she just thought it was fun.

Because Ron was the first child she had ever seen who was younger than her.

The second time Selena saw Ron, he was already over three years old and could run and jump in the yard, playing games that Selena couldn't understand.

Perhaps Ron felt it was boring to play alone, so he approached Selena, who had come over, and asked her if she wanted to play with him.

Selena agreed.

From then on, Ron and Selena became friends.

And then...

They became family.

Ron's parents were attacked by monsters while hunting in the mountains. His father returned severely injured and passed away after entrusting Ron to Selena's father.

Ron was later adopted by Selena's father and became Selena's younger brother.

But her father told her not to treat Ron as her brother, but as the future pillar of the family.

Selena was nine years old at the time and didn't understand what her father was saying.

It wasn't until she was twelve years old, when she saw the older sister next door marry a boy from a neighboring village, that she understood the meaning of her father's words.

In an era ravaged by monsters, a family without a man would not only struggle to survive, but would also face immense hardship.

Selena's family is fine because she has her father, but if something were to happen to him one day, her family, consisting of only one girl like Selena, could very well be taken advantage of by someone else.

Therefore, Ron is not only Selena's adopted son, but also the future pillar of Selena's family.

So from that moment on, Selena treated Ron as her younger brother, but also as someone she could entrust her life to.

She claims to refer to herself as an 'older sister,' but she sees herself more as a future 'wife.'

At that time, Ron was still young and could not shoulder the responsibility of being a 'pillar', so Selena needed to stand in front of Ron and protect him from the wind and rain.

Selena had assumed that this would continue until Ron came of age.

When Ron comes of age, she will be able to marry him, start a family, and live together like parents, relying on each other.

But accidents often happen before plans.

Chapter 84 Why am I a supporting character in real life too? (Fourth update, please subscribe!!)

The village was attacked by monsters.

Of all the people who survived in the entire village, only Ron and Selena remained.

On the run, Selena was lost and didn't know what to do. The grief of losing her father almost overwhelmed her.

It was at that moment that Ron first stood up to protect her:

"From now on, I will protect Sister Selena."

Ron, who was already fifteen years old, stepped forward at that time and made a promise to Selena.

At that time, Ron was still thin, but he had grown quite a bit taller, and was about the same height as Selena.

Even at that time, Selena saw Ron as much taller than she had ever seen.

Selena didn't say anything at that moment, she just smiled and ruffled Ron's hair.

But for some reason, Selena felt much lighter.

Because she knew that even if she lost the village and everything else, she still had her younger brother to rely on.

Then... they arrived at the refugee camp, met the royal army, and learned that someone would come to test the children's talents. The talented children would be taken to the capital, to a safer place.

Fortunately, Ron has the talent of a magician.

His future could be that of a glorious magician, the 'magic master' that Selena once saw.

Unfortunately, Selena was later found to have no talent whatsoever.

She can only live as an ordinary person.

It was around that time that Selena began to feel a vague sense of worry and fear.

She was afraid that Ron would abandon her, and that Ron would become a wizard and look down on her, his older sister.

She was afraid that she would lose her only support.
