After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

……

……

"I'm sorry, Suna, I never expected things to turn out this way..."

"No, this is my problem. I was too impatient, too eager to possess your power."

……

The phantom gradually became clearer, solidifying into the shape of a young girl.

……

"No matter what, it's all my fault. It was my power that hurt you and made you like this."

"Hero, none of that matters now... Did you come here to bring me liberation?"

……

The girl cupped her hands around the crystal head, as if she wanted to lift it up.

However, she was just a ghost, and no matter how she touched her, all she could grasp was air.

……

No, I came here to put an end to the regret of seven years ago.

"Hero, what are you saying?"

"I should have died long ago, but you shouldn't be like this. This is my last strength; use it wisely and fulfill our promise."

"No, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

……

The ghost girl seemed to understand what the crystal skull wanted to do.

She wanted to stop it, she wanted to resist, but the power emanating from the crystal head was so immense that she couldn't break free at all.

"Suna!"

Upon seeing this scene, Lao Hu instinctively wanted to rush forward and stop it all.

However, Elusia stretched out her arm and stopped him.

"Old Hu, you can't stop all of this."

"what……"

"Because this was decided seven years ago."

Before everyone's eyes, the crystal skull emitted an unparalleled brilliance.

And Suna's soul was completely absorbed into it.

……

……

--------------------

That's it.

I am the salvation of a fallen hero.

Seven years ago, immersed in the underground world, I felt a plea from the outside world for the first time.

"Please help me, save my homeland! It has been overrun by undead creatures, and everyone is living in unimaginable suffering."

I don't know what I can do.

But I know I cannot ignore any call.

So I responded to her voice.

……

"Who are you, and how can I help you?"

“My name is Suna, and you are a heroic spirit who has survived to this day in the ancient world. I know that you possess extremely powerful strength.”

……

This is how it all began, and the source of the tragedy.

Having been silent for so long, I no longer know what my body has become.

Suna, on the other hand, firmly believed that she could overcome all difficulties... as long as we worked together, everything could be saved.

but,

We all underestimated the wickedness of the Demon Lord. That evil from the darkness had bewitched the villagers, and they had completely imprisoned Suna, who had returned to the village to resupply.

The ceremony was not completed; everything failed.

Suna failed to complete her self-sacrifice and was cruelly killed by the priest.

I myself was overwhelmed by anger and despair, and in order to kill those lustful villagers... But the evil force spread and also affected the innocent villagers.

Everyone not only turned into monsters parasitized by the puppet worms, but I also became a completely fallen hero.

How embarrassing!

Is this what you, as a hero, have accomplished?

The pleading girl could only die in despair.

They corrupted the villagers into monsters.

Unable to live, unable to die, he was like a walking corpse, constantly spreading despair to the world.

Hahaha……

I know this is the Demon Lord's plan. He wants to make me despair and turn me into his pawn.

but,

Even in despair, even knowing that I am doomed.

But I firmly believe,

There must be a brand new possibility in this world.

This possibility may carry the flames of revenge from the Abyss.

This possibility carries the spirit of courage from the past.

She will burn away all the darkness in this world.

She will eradicate all evil in this world.

She will carry with her the wish that I never fulfilled...

Go and shout, unleash your immense power, and rewrite all the imperfect endings in this world!

just,

pity……

I will never live to see that day.

So, Suna.

Please use my last bit of body, my last bit of strength.

Go and witness,

That future bathed in sunlight, isn't it?

Bathed in blue light, Suna's soul surged into her head.

And so the soul of the hero departed from this world.

Chapter 55 The Girl's Soul Stone

A day has passed since the incident in the ruins village.

However, Lonnie was still immersed in that ambiguous feeling and hadn't come to her senses.

It turns out that besides myself, there are many other heroes in this world, but their fates are not as smooth as mine... Many heroes have sacrificed themselves on the road of struggle.

(And will that day ever come for me and Elusia too?)

(The life of a hero is dangerous. If we continue down this path, will we die?)

Thinking of this, Lonnies looked at Elusia with a worried gaze, but the black-haired girl only returned her gaze with "disdain".

"Hmph, you masochistic maid, do you want me to bully you again?"

"what?!"

"If you're worried about me, there's no need to. I am Elcia, the master destined to lead you to destroy those monsters. You, this weak and submissive girl, all you need to do is warm my bed and act cute."

After saying that, Elusia stretched out her finger and flicked Lonnie's chest without any restraint.

The swaying motion made Lonnie instinctively tremble, and her cheeks flushed.

"Ugh."

"Hmph, you're quite obedient... Now we're going to cleanse the village of its filth, come here..."

"understood……"

After nightfall, Lonnies and Elusia returned to the edge of the village.

Old Hu stood at the village entrance, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Old Hu, are you alright?"

Upon seeing this disheveled middle-aged man, Lonnie felt a mix of emotions and didn't know what to say.
