Are you worthy of saving the world?

Fortunately, Yuli was well prepared.

He knew from the beginning that Emerod was the SSR character in the game called "Phantom".

Emerald Dietrich.

The eldest daughter of the Dietrich family, the vice-master of the Knights of the Lily Cross, and also the role model of a lady of Saint Cromwell.

However, this seemingly perfect daughter of a noble family actually has another dark and terrifying identity.

A demon swordsman who wields two demon swords named "Sanka" and "Yaksha", and a beautiful assassin who walks on the moonless night.

As a paid character, she has the highest level of single-target damage in the game. Apart from being very fragile, she is a very powerful card.

As a plot character, she first appears in front of the protagonist of the game as an enemy.

In the initial plot, she caused great trouble to the protagonist group and almost killed the protagonist several times.

However, after a series of love-hate relationships, the protagonist finally opened his heart to "Phantom", and finally joined the protagonist group and became a paid character.

Emerrod has a certain obsession, which is also the reason why she turned evil.

She had a deep desire to possess something that would not disappear with the passage of time.

And this thing, for Emerald at the beginning, was the Knights of the Lily Cross that carried three years of memories.

In fact, in the original plot of "Apocalypse of the Goddess", Emerod did not turn evil and become the lord of the magic sword so early.

This is because in the original story, a terrible incident occurred in which Ulysses was kidnapped by Miss Stella, the "Ashe Witch"!

The Child of Prophecy was kidnapped by Lauder, which led to the reunion of the Lily Cross Knights after they were disbanded.

Until Ulyphis turned evil, Emerod, Ruby, and Safia stayed by his side as the savior's protectors.

Actually - in the game plot, the first person to turn evil was Ulysses.

Teacher Dafei is the root of all evil.

After learning that he was not the true child of prophecy, Yuri turned evil and personally disbanded the Lily Cross Knights.

Emerrod was devastated, but she did not give up.

For a long time afterwards, Emerod pestered Yuri and asked him why he disbanded the Lily Cross.

Although he was rejected countless times, Emerod still tried his best to hope that Yuri would change his mind and that the Lily Cross could be resurrected.

Neither begging nor using soft or hard tactics had any effect. Later, Emerod blamed the protagonists for Yuli's blackening.

She developed hatred for the protagonist, who was hostile to Yuri.

"If it weren't for them, Lord Yuri wouldn't have become like this!"

"If we kill that guy, Lord Yuri will also return to his original state, right?"

"Everyone can go back to being the way they were before..."

"it is good."

Under heavy mental pressure, Emerrod was bewitched by the demon sword and began to assassinate the protagonist as a "ghost".

Yuli knew the whole story from the beginning, but he didn't say anything.

He even sent Emerald to capture Stella, an order that now seemed ironic.

Emerodne didn't know it, but she herself had become an accomplice in the destruction of the Lily Cross.

The current Yuri is no longer comparable to Teacher Dafei in the original work.

He already had a certain reputation in the Vatican, and his personal strength surpassed that of most of the female knights of the Lily Cross, so he no longer needed their protection.

Stella's kidnapping would never have happened.

It can be said that the disbandment of Lily Cross has become an irreversible fact.

The combination of these factors led to Emerrod turning evil earlier than in the original work, killing innocent people and committing unforgivable crimes.

So, can I be blamed for this?

Yuli thought speechlessly.

If you try to solve a problem with selfish thoughts, it will inevitably lead to unpredictable variables.

There will always be unexpected events that don’t go as you wish, and this is what we call “fate”.

Yuli had been mentally prepared to be his enemy from the very beginning.

……

……

……

In a small, dark square room.

The neatly dressed Yuli and the half-naked Aimelrod confronted each other in a strange atmosphere.

The first to break the silence was the girl with long black hair.

Emerrod's eyes widened as he stared at the black-haired boy's face.

"You won't hand me over to the Knights Temple?"

"You know I wouldn't do that."

Yuri had not considered handing Emerod over to the Church.

He had already covered up Annabelle's crime, so one more wouldn't be a problem.

Yuli is not a messenger of justice, he only cares about his own personal feelings and interests.

"In that case...let me go, Lord Yuli." Emerald said.

"Is this an order from senior sister?" Yuli asked back disapprovingly.

"Yes."

Emerald said, "Put me down now, or I will be angry."

"No." Yuli replied immediately.

"........."

The conversation stopped abruptly.

Yuli pulled the chair in the corner to the center of the room and sat on it.

Emerrod glanced around the room, then spoke in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"This is the first time I know that Lord Yuri actually has such a basement in his house...

I'm afraid even Lady Cecilia doesn't know?

We have all been kept in the dark by you... Lord Yuri, you have hidden it very well."

Her tone was filled with resentment, and her emerald green eyes seemed capable of killing.

Yuli hugged the back of his chair and shrugged: “I just renovated this basement two weeks ago.

It was originally an unused underground wine storage room, but I temporarily transformed it into this.”

"Humph……"

Emerrod pursed his lips. "How much do you know?"

"I know everything."

Yuri looked at her and said, "Senior Emerod, you want the Lily Cross Knights to continue to exist, right?"

"...!"

Emerrod was secretly surprised, and his pupils trembled.

It's not scary that Yuri was able to find out the identity of the "Ghost".

But he even knew what he was thinking, which was a bit scary.

She suppressed her inner panic and organized her words: "Since you know, please come and help me.

Lord Yuri, if there are two of us, we can definitely..."

"No." Yuli refused again.

He raised his head and said grimly, "I'll be frank with you, Senior Emerod."

"……Well."

The black-haired girl swallowed nervously.

As she stared, Yuli spoke.

"The Lily Cross is over. Just give up on this idea."

"!!!"

A strong and cold murderous intent instantly filled the entire basement.

Emerod glared at Yuri with an almost hateful look, but the latter didn't take it seriously.

“No matter how hard you try, the disbanding of Lily Cross is inevitable.

Even if I fight with you, the result will be the same.

so……"

"No! We won't disband just like that!"

Emerrod shook his pure white and charming body and screamed hysterically.

"As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty! Isn't that how we have always gotten through it before?"

"This time it's different," said Yuli.

Emerrod: "Wow... have the three years we've spent so far been a lie...?"

Yuri: "The historical mission of the Lily Cross has come to an end."

Emerald: "Uri! Why do you have to go against me at every turn? Can't you just listen to me for once? Didn't you always listen to your sister?"

Emerrod sometimes roared ferociously, sometimes begged mournfully, and sometimes choked with sobs.
