Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

Three years ago, around the time Professor Rhodes disappeared, various demonic incidents began to occur frequently around the world.

A graduate of Imperial College accidentally gets involved in one of the incidents and discovers that it is all connected to an organization called the Advent Society.

Afterwards, the graduate, along with several companions, began investigating this clandestine organization.

As Advent activities became more frequent, it gradually came into people's view.

The group of graduates became famous for their involvement in the events caused by the Advent Society, thwarting its conspiracies and resolving numerous crises.

The Empress gave them high praise and provided them with maximum support for their actions.

The common people called them the Golden Generation.

This is simply because this year's graduates are far superior to those of other years.

In particular, all five members of the Golden Generation were Level 1 Warlocks.

This is also the source of the Golden Generation's confidence in confronting the Advent Society.

Therefore, it was discovered that the Advent Society's headquarters were most likely located in Ula City.

The golden generation, eager for victory, chose to venture deep into enemy territory alone, and have become arrogant.

An arrogant army is bound to be defeated.

Now, they are reaping the bitter fruits of their carelessness.

boom!

A violent explosion occurred in a corner of the city.

The elder of the Advent Society, dressed in black robes, was manipulating countless demons to besiege three sorcerers.

One of them, wielding two swords, engaged the elder in close combat.

The other two, one summoned countless earth spears to attack the surrounding demons, while the other threw out dozens of origami, which transformed into beasts to fight the demons.

This is not the first time they have been besieged.

Fighting the elders and demons of the Advent Society is meaningless to them.

Clang!

The elder blocked the swordsman Leo's attack.

"Stop making futile struggles. From the moment you entered this space-time, there was no escape."

The elder gave a cold, menacing laugh.

"Stop talking big!"

With gritted teeth, Leo charged toward the elder without fear of death.

The elder immediately used a spell to attack the opponent.

Unexpectedly, Leo withstood the attack head-on, slashing down with both swords in his hands simultaneously.

Swah——

The cross-shaped sword light shone on the elder.

Although most of the damage was blocked by the elder's defensive spells, a sword mark was still left behind.

that's enough.

"Spell - Cross Marksmanship"

Leo activated the spell inscribed by the sword mark.

In an instant, the cross-shaped sword mark burst forth with dazzling holy light, engulfing the elder of the descending guild.

"It's pointless, I'll come back again."

The elder left behind his final words.

It immediately turned to ashes in the holy light.

Leo watched the elder die without a trace of joy on his face.

Because as soon as the next night falls, the elders and demons will return.

They could resurrect endlessly and were inexhaustible, while Leo and his men received no support.

With one side gaining at the expense of the other, defeat was only a matter of time.

So Leo looked at his two other companions.

"Louis, we'll go first. You're in charge of covering the rear!"

"Wait a minute, shouldn't the response in this situation be 'You guys go first, I'll cover your retreat'?"

"Who told you to find your way around here the easiest?"

"I hate it when this happens every time."

The sorcerer named Louis muttered something, but in the end, he obediently slapped the ground with both hands.

"Technique - turning fossils into mud."

The originally hard road surface suddenly became as soft as a swamp, and soon a passage connecting underground appeared.

"Livia, let's leave with the supplies first."

"understood."

Livia nodded, then looked at Louis.

"Louis, I'm leaving my origami beast behind to support you."

After saying that, she and Leo jumped into the underground passage.

Louis, who was left behind, could only vent his frustration on the ever-growing number of demons.

"Spell - Rock Golem"

The earth shook violently.

Immediately afterwards, a rock giant tens of meters tall rose from the ground and crushed towards the demons.

……

Leo and Livia followed the tunnel deeper and deeper until they finally arrived at a safe house deep underground.

The ground was covered with the spells of the Advent Society, leaving virtually nowhere to hide, so they could only make their way to the underground to repair themselves.

Inside the safe house, a burly man lay unconscious on an earthen bed.

Beside him, a gloomy young girl watched over him.

"Merry, how is Baal doing now?"

"The curse poison in my body has deepened."

"Merry said in a cold voice."

Leo and Livia went up to look and saw that the burly Baal was covered in cold sweat, and half of his body was covered with dark runes.

"I managed to salvage some medicines and supplies from the city, but I don't know if they'll be of any use."

Livia took out a cardboard box and poured out countless supplies, which piled up into a small mountain.

Meili glanced at Xiaoshan and shook her head.

"We have no way to remove the curse."

She can use her magic to repair external injuries, but she is powerless against cursed poisons.

"We have to try, no matter what. We can't just watch Baal die like this."

Leo scratched his hair in annoyance.

"If only Luna and Angela were here..."

Livia sighed.

Luna's Moonlight Spell can purify curses, while Ange's Time-Space Spell can restore everything.

Unfortunately, Luna became despondent after Professor Rhodes disappeared.

Anjie, however, has disappeared without a trace.

"..."

Leo and Melly remained silent upon hearing this.

It's quite unfortunate that the two strongest members of the Golden Generation are both absent.

After a while, Leo thought of something else.

"Why hasn't Louis returned yet?"

He had barely finished speaking.

rumbling...

The entire underground space suddenly began to shake violently.

thump!

A figure fell from above.

Upon closer inspection, they saw Louis lying on the ground, covered in wounds and unconscious.

Three more figures appeared immediately after them.

"You have no value anymore."

"Did they all come out in full force?"

Leo stared at the three Adventists in front of him, and warily drew his twin swords.

There was no warning whatsoever.

The three elders attacked the group simultaneously.

"Spell - Hundred Transformations of a Thousand Cranes"

Livia summoned hundreds of paper cranes that flew toward the elder.

The moment he made contact with the elder, Leo activated his spell.

"Technique - Solar Flare Chain"

The sigmata, pre-engraved on the paper cranes, exploded as countless flares.

The entire space was filled with dazzling holy light.

It blocked the elders' view.

When the holy light fades.

With a handmade cloth doll in hand, Mary manipulated Louis to cast a spell, and together with the others, they escaped using earth magic.

Leo stayed where he was, buying time for everyone.

"Louis, you jinx! Now it really is my turn to cover the retreat!"

Seeing this, the elders immediately split into three groups.

One person held off Li Ao while the other two continued to pursue the others.

However, just as they were about to make their move, two cross-shaped holy marks burst forth from the ground, repelling them.

"You think you can get past me? This is my home turf."

Leo grinned.

Scattered holy marks and spells are everywhere.

"Then I'll kill you first."

The elders exchanged glances, abandoned their separate actions, and joined forces to attack Leo.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The soil fell with a rustling sound, and a series of rumbling sounds came from the underground space.

Leo lived up to his reputation as the third-ranked member of the Golden Generation, having prepared his spells in advance and holding his own against three opponents.

Unfortunately, when his holy marks were exhausted, he was ultimately defeated.

boom!

The elder delivered a punch from a distance, striking Leo squarely in the chest.

Leo coughed up blood and flew backward like a rag doll, his two swords flying out of his hands.

He lay on the ground, glanced back, and saw that the others had escaped safely.

Then look at the two swords that have fallen in the distance.

He wanted to pick it up, but it seemed too far away.

Three elders of the Advent Society slowly approached, preparing to deliver the final blow.

Is this the end of the story?

Leo thought to himself.

Suddenly.

The quiet underground space was filled with the sound of steady footsteps.

A figure emerged from the shadows and stood before the twin swords.

"You've disappointed me greatly, Leo. I've said it many times: relying too much on Sacred Marks will only stagnate your swordsmanship."

The calm and familiar voice rang out, causing Leo to widen his eyes in surprise.

The three elders looked in the direction of the sound.

Ether picked up the two swords from the ground and placed them in the hands of the newcomer.

"That's not how you use dual swords."

Rhodes, holding two swords, spoke slowly.

"Word of Power - Sunfire".

The longsword in his right hand blazed with flames as intense as the sun.

"Word of Power - Moonlight".

The longsword in his left hand shimmered with a tranquil light like the bright moon.

The dazzling light made the elders of the Advent Society feel a strong threat of death.

They charged toward Rhodes without hesitation.

But the next second, their bodies involuntarily rolled back.

Rhodes took a step forward and appeared behind the three of them.

"Sword Style - Sun and Moon Shine Together"

In the dark world, the sun and moon shine together in the same sky, reflecting each other's brilliance.
