The roars rose and fell.

Vita's lips curled into a cold smile: "Foolish me, as long as I kill you, no one will blame me, and I won't need anyone to plead for me."

"you……"

"Shut up!" Vita's voice suddenly rose. "I know where your weakness is. No matter how much you struggle, it's useless. You only have one path left now—death!"

She said it, and she did it.

Under her thrusts, the instructor, who had been fleeing and reviving by absorbing the monster's energy, began to scream like a wild beast that had lost its way.

Her smile grew even brighter: "Back in training camp, you told me that only by ignoring death could I leave the camp. I did as you said. I killed the people who greeted me. I watched as that timid Sylph was tortured into a monster by you. I almost gave up everything to finally escape that hell. Do you know how I've lived these past few years?"

She gently twirled the spikes, and screams echoed in response.

They were only in their early teens back then.

While other children were going to school and receiving chivalrous education, they were adrift in the cesspool of desire.

"I thought you knew, but I was wrong. You don't understand at all. You yourself can't ignore death, yet you force us to ignore it!"

Vita's grip tightened.

"You say I'm an outstanding trainee in the training camp, and that's true. I do have the right to call myself an outstanding trainee. But you're not an outstanding instructor. You're not only not outstanding, you're scum. Your existence is a disgrace to us and to the training camp!"

The instructor cried out in terror, "I was wrong, Vita, please forgive me, you..."

Vita forcefully pulled the spike she was holding in her left hand, then casually plunging it into another spot on the ground.

"what!"

He said coldly, "Trying to distract me and then launch a sneak attack? Stop with your useless tricks."

As the spikes began to churn, the screams first became rapid, then grew weaker and weaker until they disappeared completely.

"died?"

Loria asked.

Vita nodded gently and pulled out the spikes; this time, blood no longer spurted from the ground.

Loria instinctively took a step back.

After killing the instructor, she'll be the next target, right?

But to her surprise, Vita stood up and didn't turn around. Instead, she walked step by step into the inky darkness ahead.

"Where are you going?"

Loria quickly asked.

"The mission to find the magical puppet failed, and the mission leader died as well. As the mission executor, I must go back to be punished."

Vita's voice sounded weak, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

Loria couldn't help but chase after him: "Why are you going back at a time like this?"

"You don't need to worry about me. Go and check on Adeline. She's in a much worse situation than I am."

"You're coming with me."

"Don't follow me anymore. If other people see this, even if I'm fine, it will turn into trouble."

"But……"

"The monster tide isn't over yet; you still have a lot to do."

Loria's pace gradually slowed down until she finally stopped completely.

But under the cover of night, Vita continued to walk slowly forward, one step, two steps, becoming increasingly hazy and distant.

Loria sighed and turned to walk towards where the president was.

She roughly understood that Vita had held back her strength when they fought.

That's life sometimes.

They started on different paths, and no matter how they tried to adjust, they could never come together.

She couldn't possibly hold Vita's hand at this moment; that would not only fail to encourage Vita, but would actually harm her.

have they gone?

Vita's ears perked up.

Having used the Weaver's power continuously, she was almost at her limit. She walked away so that Loria wouldn't see her fall.

She knew that if she really fell, Loria would definitely come to help her up, which wouldn't be a good thing for either of them.

So, let's just keep going and going as far as we can, since we're just passing through anyway.

Vita is not afraid of death.

The thought that Loria would be able to live the life she longed for after this separation filled her heart with joy.

Just as she was about to disappear completely into the darkness, a familiar voice came from a distant place behind her.

"I'll come find you once I reach Rank A!"

The rain was drizzling down when Vita stopped.

Grade A?

Grade A is far from enough.

She turned around, trying to tell Loria not to court death, but Loria had already disappeared.

Vita raised her hand slightly, and finally, she raised it even higher to wipe her eyes.

Rainwater got into my eyes.

The fastest legend in Stream Town: 116. Will I die? [Two-in-one]

The death of the leader of the secret forces does not mean the end of the monster tide.

After the tree spirit fell, most of the monsters that continued to obey the orders of the Hidden Leader and launched an attack on Stream Town were those who had deep-seated hatred for humans and adventurers.

They don't just want to destroy and plunder; they also want revenge.

Therefore, neither the black flames that pierced the rainy night nor the tentacles that kept shooting out from the ground could frighten them.

Under the cover of the rainy night, they rampaged recklessly through Stream Town.

Despite the adventurers' valiant resistance, the once intact buildings were attacked and collapsed one by one.

Screams, cries, and boisterous laughter mingled together, making this turbulent rainy night a nightmare that many people will never forget.

"President, are you alright?"

After saying goodbye to Vita, Loria quickly ran back to the president's side.

To her relief, although the president still couldn't stand up, he seemed to be in good spirits and didn't look like he was on the verge of death.

Great.

Loria was afraid that the president would collapse as soon as she returned.

Isn't that how it's often portrayed in TV dramas?

He kept saying he was fine and that everyone shouldn't worry, and even urged others to hurry up and get on with their business. But as soon as everyone left, he breathed his last.

"The monster tide isn't over yet, don't let your guard down!"

The guild leader frowned, and even at this moment, he did not forget to remind Loria what qualities an excellent knight should possess.

"President, let me take you home first."

Loria stepped forward and picked up the commander.

The president was soaking wet, whether from rain or sweat, it was hard to tell.

But she didn't dislike it. As a female warrior with the power of shame, she was already used to the feeling of being wet and sticky all over. Not only did she not dislike it, she actually liked it a little.

It just felt... quite comfortable.

But now is not the time to think about such things.

The stern president glared at her and began to reprimand her again.

"I'm fine. To become an excellent knight, you can't just focus on the people around you. You should first go and work with others to drive away the invading monsters."

"..."

Who wants to be an excellent knight?

If I'm already this tired before I'm even that good, what will it be like when I become good?

She'd be better off becoming a successful prostitute.

Loria simply carried the captain on her back, securing him with his thick, detachable tail, just like she had done with Miss Fat Sheep last time.

Speaking of Miss Fat Sheep, Loria, who had taken two quick steps forward, suddenly turned back.

"Are you OK?"

She lifted the boulder and released the trembling, fat sheep girl who was cowering inside.

Miss Fat Sheep's big hat had long since flown away, and her thin magic suit was now tattered and torn.

Her body was weak, and when she got wet in the rain, her only response to Loria was a sneeze.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

Loria nodded secretly. If she has the energy to shout that she's going to die, then Miss Fat Sheep is still quite normal.

"Stay by my side!"

She took out her greatsword and rubbed her aching abdomen before setting off.

This level of pain was nothing to worry about; she endured much greater pain when fighting Vita.

With Loria joining the battle, the already slowing monster tide came to a complete standstill.

But the situation is hardly good.

When Loria found Felix, he was using his own body to shield several civilians, being beaten and bruised by a ferocious monster.
