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

Rhodes set off again for the city of Urla.

During the train journey, bored out of his mind, he began to peruse the witch's research notes.

With just a simple glance, various knowledge related to soul magic automatically surfaced in Rhodes' mind.

His understanding of soul techniques is like that of someone who has been immersed in them for countless years.

However, logically speaking, he had only come into contact with matters related to the soul when he helped develop Luna's talent in the past.

And it is limited to the spiritual level.

Thinking of this.

Rhodes looked up.

At that moment, the passenger sitting opposite him was looking out the window at the scenery.

She intentionally or unintentionally avoided Rod's gaze.

"The second-place winner at least had some self-awareness; he knew he was too ashamed to face anyone."

Ange, standing next to Rhodes, sneered.

"W-What did you say?"

Luna, who was pretending to look out the window, immediately turned back.

She glanced at Rod, blushed awkwardly, and looked away before turning to Ange, who was leaning on Rod's arm.

"I...I did do something wrong to the teacher, but what's it to you? Besides, I want to help Livia and the others now, so call me shameless if you want!"

"snort……"

Anjie gave a soft hum.

Perhaps because she was a little carsick, she had no desire to argue with Luna anymore.

Rod stared at Luna.

After getting the information from Professor Moya.

He originally planned to go to Ula City to find the Golden Generation first, and then find Luna through Livia.

However, the sense of déjà vu created by the time loop prompted him to change his mind.

Through deduction, Rhodes arrived at Livia's house.

They then successfully found Luna in the attic.

At that moment, Luna was like a lifeless doll, huddled listlessly in a corner of the attic.

Rhodes stepped forward and gave his good-for-nothing disciple a lecture.

Finally, tell Luna.

"Livia and the others are chasing the Adventists, which could be dangerous. Ange and I are going to look for them; we'll probably leave from the station around 10 a.m. tomorrow."

"You have one day to decide whether to continue locking yourself in here or to step out of your closed room and set off with us."

"I have always believed that the person I know will overcome this insignificant obstacle."

After saying these words, Rhodes left the attic.

As of this morning.

Just as the train was about to depart, and Rod thought Luna wouldn't appear, Luna did arrive after all.

He did not disappoint Rhodes.

Have you thought it through?

Rhodes asked.

Luna hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered the courage to face Rhodes, bowed deeply, and answered earnestly.

"Teacher is right, I don't want to continue being so颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of listlessness, apathy, and lack of motivation) anymore. I want to help Livia, and I also want to stay by Teacher's side and continue being her disciple!"

"Let's go then."

Rod's lips curled up slightly.

So Luna also joined the group heading to Ula City.

……

Upon arriving in Ula City, one is greeted by a desolate and dilapidated scene. Most of the residents have vacant stares, like walking corpses.

Walking on the city streets, there was a vague sense of eeriness about it.

Not surprisingly.

Rod encountered another ragged, disheveled beggar.

"Run! Run! But there's nowhere to run! He knows everything, he can see everything! Heh heh, the ending was already decided. They're all dead! They're all dead!"

The beggar was shouting incoherently, preparing to flee into the distance.

This time, however, Rhodes grabbed her wrist and prevented her from leaving.

"teacher?"

Luna and Ange looked over at the same time.

"Bring her along. Judging from the style and material of her clothes, she's not someone to be trifled with."

"Rod said."

The group arrived at the city hall.

Everything inside was intact, but there was no one there.

Rhodes had anticipated this, so he wasn't particularly surprised.

He glanced at the dirty beggar beside him and frowned.

"You two take her to wash up and change her into clean clothes."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Luna and Ange knew that their teacher had a germaphobia.

They had no choice but to obey and take the beggar to the city hall's bathroom, where they forced the beggar to take a bath.

Soon, crackling sounds came from the bathroom.

"No! No!"

"I'm just giving you a bath, don't move around!"

"You're the second-place winner! Don't get water on me!"

"..."

It was an hour later when the three of them came out.

Since their clothes got wet, Ange and Luna decided to take a shower together.

As for the originally disheveled beggar, he has now changed his appearance.

She changed into a light dress, revealing her smooth, fair skin. Her soft, slightly curled hair fell down, and her beautiful face was displayed before everyone.

Although his expression remained blank and dazed, his appearance and demeanor were enough to indicate that he was a member of royalty.

"She must be a princess of the Kingdom of Ula, who escaped the calamity of the kingdom's destruction a year ago."

Rod looked the beggar up and down.

He was certain that he had seen the other person before.

"The teacher has a really sharp eye..."

Anjie said lightly.

"yes……"

Luna nodded in agreement.

"..."

I had a feeling that the two of them were talking about something else entirely.

Rod's lips twitched slightly, and he then tried to communicate with the other party.

Unfortunately, the other person must have suffered a severe shock, leading to a mental breakdown; they were just laughing foolishly.

Now it's Luna's turn to appear.

Luna approached the beggar and cast a soothing moonlight spell.

But just as she activated the spell...

"ah!!!"

The beggar suddenly screamed in agony.

A terrifying curse power erupted.

She clutched her head, curled up on the sofa, and her body convulsed uncontrollably.

Luna immediately stopped the procedure.

Without the stimulation of the Moonlight Spell, the beggar finally calmed down and drifted off to sleep.

Rod looked at the beggar and fell into deep thought.

The other party is simply an embodiment of curses.

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

Luna looked at Rhodes.

The Moonlight Sword can purify evil forces and is the nemesis of all curses.

But in doing so, the beggar, who is the source of the curse, will also die.

"Let's first look for traces of the golden age."

Rod said calmly.

He left Luna to take care of the beggars, while he explored the city with Ange.

Unfortunately, no trace of the golden age was found.

Wait until we get back to City Hall.

Night falls.

Spacetime suddenly trembled violently.

The whole world began to roll back.

Princess Yuni slowly awoke from her slumber, gazing groggily at Rhodes and the other two.

"Where is this? Who are you?"

The world has once again fallen into a vicious cycle.

Yuni quickly recognized Rod and happily introduced herself.

"You're Professor Rhodes, right? I'm Princess Yuni from the Kingdom of Ula... Ouch! I bit my tongue!"

"..."

Looking at the other person's clumsy appearance.

Rhodes had a strong sense of déjà vu.

He was certain once again that he had experienced a similar situation and that he would always keep the other person in mind.

Under the watchful eyes of Angela and Luna, Rod and Yuni began to talk.

Before long, he figured out that everyone was caught in a time loop of the night of the fall of the kingdom.

Rhodes thought of the time loop that might still be happening.

How can they be so similar?

"Professor, can I stay by your side? Please help me."

Yuni pleaded pitifully.

Rod paused upon hearing this.

A sense of regret inexplicably welled up in his heart.

Perhaps he did accept Yuni's request, but ultimately failed to save her.

Rhodes nodded solemnly.

"Let's go then."

If this is a regret he couldn't fulfill in the past.

So now, it's time to reverse the predetermined fate.

Rumble!

The city was engulfed in flames, and demons raged.

Rod made a quick decision and led everyone to take action.
