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

late at night.

From the dark, dense forest, a chilling roar could be faintly heard.

A figure crept into the grass and cautiously approached the riverbank.

Before she was discovered, she took out the bamboo tube from her body, preparing to fill it with water and leave.

However, just as she was about to dip the bamboo tube into the water...

A pair of enormous, blood-red eyes opened from the water.

Wow!

Dozens or even hundreds of thick octopus tentacles burst out of the water, blocking all of the opponent's escape routes, while a gaping maw full of serrated teeth opened, ready to bite down.

Just then, countless sword lights crisscrossed.

All the tentacles were cut into pieces.

Before the monster could even let out a wail, more sword light annihilated its body.

After defeating the monster, she didn't linger. Before the other monsters arrived, she quickly filled her water tank and fled into the depths of the forest.

As soon as she entered the woods, she sensed something was amiss.

Without the slightest hesitation, she decisively drew her sword and slashed horizontally.

Clang!

The sound of metal clanging rang out.

Another sword blocked the attack.

"Hey, don't draw your sword recklessly, I'm one of our own."

Rogge said to the Holy Sword Maiden.

Not long after, Ira also emerged from the bushes on the other side.

……

Rogge led the Holy Sword Maiden back to the camp.

Several days had passed since the monsters were unsealed, and Rogge and the others had moved their camp from the ground to the ruins.

In the camp, besides Princess Lingsha and others, you can also see other classmates, including the Third Prince.

"Are you back?"

The Third Prince greeted her with a smile, glancing at the Holy Clan Sword Maiden.

"We finally found Fiora, now our whole class is here."

After encountering the elephant-hoofed monster, Rogue decided to move his camp to the ruins while trying to reunite with the others.

Meanwhile, the Third Prince noticed something amiss and, coincidentally, joined forces with Roger to try to unite the students from the other groups.

The two sides quickly reunited and found the other two groups.

Only the Holy Clan Sword Maiden had long since left the group and was acting alone.

He was only arrested by Rogge tonight.

"The current situation is that we can't contact the academy, and the monsters in the Lost Ruins are getting stronger and stronger, severely squeezing our living space."

The Third Prince explained the situation to the Holy Clan Sword Maiden.

The number of demons breaking free from the seal is increasing, and their strength is gradually recovering. If left unchecked, once the demons recover to their peak strength, everyone will be completely helpless.

"We need to take advantage of the monsters' weakened state to eliminate them as much as possible, reduce their numbers, and buy time for the academy's rescue."

As if to make his words more convincing, the Third Prince emphasized his tone slightly.

"In this sudden situation, we discovered the presence of alien races. As a swordswoman of the Holy Race, you should know your mission."

"..."

The Holy Race Sword Maiden remained silent.

"Sigh, let me say it."

Roger waved his hand and sighed helplessly.

He saw through the Holy Clan Sword Maiden's thoughts.

Fiora is confused and may cooperate with the mission, but it is unlikely that she will completely follow orders.

The Third Prince glanced at Rogge thoughtfully, smiled slightly and nodded, then left alone, leaving Rogge and the Sword Maiden alone.

"Hey, forget about any mission or anything like that, what are you thinking?"

Roger asked directly.

"……I have no idea."

The Holy Clan Sword Maiden finally spoke, but as always, she knew nothing about the matter.

Fortunately, Rogge had already become familiar with Fiora and knew she would say that.

"Since you don't know, then put all your missions out of your mind. Just tell me honestly, or rather, tell yourself, do you like your current life?"

"..."

The Holy Sword Maiden thought for a moment, then nodded at Rogge.

"Very well, then draw your sword."

Roger curled the corners of his mouth.

He had already guessed how Fiora would answer.

He put his arm around Fiora's shoulder, just like when he taught her various life skills before, and suddenly swung his fist, the sound light and bright.

"Those monsters are destroying the life you love, so you should draw your sword and drive them away. Not to kill on someone else's orders, but to protect what's in your heart."

"..."

The Holy Sword Maiden stared wide-eyed at Rogge.

This was the first time someone had said that to her.

"Not for others, but for myself..."

The Fiora muttered to herself, then nodded seriously.

"I see."

"..."

What do you understand?

As Rogge saw the Sword Maiden's gaze gradually harden, he felt increasingly uneasy.

His original purpose was to disrupt the Sword Maiden's egoless state of mind and reduce her hostility towards the alien race. However, the other party has now become more convinced of a certain belief after his persuasion, and her sword realm limit is rising rapidly.

Isn't this digging one's own grave...?

After all, he would also cruelly destroy the life that the Holy Swordswoman loved in the future.

The thought of the Holy Race Sword Maiden attacking him with his teachings made Rogge feel his dead memories resurfacing...

Just as Rogge was digging his own grave.

Not far away, some people also noticed that he was alone with the Holy Clan Sword Maiden.

"Wow! That guy Rogge is actually putting his arm around that Holy Race Sword Maiden, and the Sword Maiden isn't even objecting."

Julie exclaimed in exaggerated surprise.

The Holy Clan Sword Maiden holds an extremely transcendent status, which, in some respects, even surpasses that of the royal family.

With such a special identity, an extremely unsociable personality, and formidable strength, no one dares to associate with her normally.

Not to mention physical contact like this.

"That guy is really bold, daring to attack the Holy Clan Sword Maiden. Isn't he afraid of being killed by her sword?"

Just as she was saying this, someone tugged at her clothes from behind.

Julie turned around and saw Maya gesturing with her lips, indicating that she should look in a certain direction.

Looking in that direction, one could see Princess Lingsha standing not far away, staring blankly at the backs of Rogge and the Holy Sword Maiden, lost in thought.

"Could it be...?"

Julie's smile grew increasingly sinister, her eyes gleaming with fury.

That was the blazing fire of the Eight Trigrams.

"You've misunderstood Brother Rogue. Brother Rogue's target isn't Fiora."

Fortunately, at this moment, Ira, Roger's loyal fan, stepped forward to clear up the misunderstanding for Roger.

He pulled a photograph from his pocket and spoke with righteous indignation.

"Brother Roger's real target is her!"

"she?"

Julie and Maya looked at the photo with curiosity.

I was immediately shocked.

The stunningly beautiful black-haired woman from the Sin race appeared prominently in the photograph.

When Rogge returned to his group, he found that everyone's expressions were somewhat strange.

"Idiot, what are you daydreaming about?"

"You're the idiot! You're the idiot!! You're the idiot!!! Humph!"

Princess Lingsha walked away with a look of disgust.

Let's look at the others.

Maya nodded admiringly at Rogge and left with Princess Lingsa.

Julie then went up to Roger and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ambitious."

Then he drifted away.

Only Ira remained, approaching Rogge and making a solemn vow.

"Brother Roger, I will do everything in my power to help you achieve your goal."

"What's wrong with you?"

Rogge raised his hand and pushed Ira's face away.
