Athena didn't ask much and followed Chen Rui to an open space.
"Athena, are you sure you can win against Culia now?"
Athena's eyes glowed with confidence, "I have absolute confidence to defeat him!"
"Very good." Chen Rui took a few steps back and distanced himself from her, "Then … now use your sword and attack me with all your strength."
"What?" Athena thought she heard it wrong.
"Didn't you do this outside the tent last time?" Chen Rui's words made Athena blush embarrassedly. "Now, let's start! This time, I won't do it like last time. "
With Athena's current strength, she should be a good sparring partner. It just so happened that he could accurately determine his strength.
Athena glanced at him hesitantly and took out the greatsword from the space bracelet. Under Chen Rui's encouraging gaze, she finally slashed. Unfortunately, it was soft and had no lethality.
"If you want to help me, be serious." Chen Rui grabbed and pinched the blade. He shook his head and put away the passive characteristic of "concealment". He exuded the power breath of the Mizar state.
Athena's pupils shrank slightly – This level of power breath is actually at the level of Higher Demon! And … it's even above Culia at that time!
This weak human who was still powerless a few months ago has now risen to a level that is almost on par with me!
Although she had some mental preparation after going through some previous incidents and listening to Dodo's proactive disclosure, when Athena personally experienced this power now, she still couldn't hide her shock. She asked the long-hidden guess in her heart, "Chen Rui … Is this the grand master's …"
Transmigration and the Super System were his biggest secrets. Chen Rui didn't intend to reveal it to anyone. The grand master's inheritance that he used for emergencies at the beginning could be used as a replacement. It was reasonable in theory. He smiled and asked, "Shouldn't a smart girl keep her promise?"
Athena was rarely praised as "smart", especially by Chen Rui. She felt a sweetness in her heart and remembered that she had promised him not to ask any questions. She immediately put away her unnecessary thoughts and took a deep breath. With a turn of her sword, she swept it horizontally. Chen Rui dodged the sword at lightning speed, circled to her side, and punched her.
Athena hurriedly pulled back her sword. The punch landed on the back of the sword, and a muffled sound rang out. She only felt waves after waves of surging power coming at her. She almost couldn't hold the sword in her hand steadily, and was shaken to the point of staggering backwards. Her eyes flashed with surprise.
"I told you, get serious." Chen Rui knew that Athena was still afraid of hurting him, so he added, "Culia died in my hands that day …"
Athena was shocked. Culia actually died in Chen Rui's hands a few days ago!
She sheathed her sword and lowered her head. She seemed to be hesitating. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, her body burst into flames. Her skin turned light red, and a curved horn appeared on her head. "Is this the seriousness you want?"
As soon as Chen Rui nodded, he saw that Athena, who lowered her head, had disappeared in an instant. A sharp wind whistled from his back. Chen Rui had encountered this kind of attack from behind many times, so he was already prepared for it. He twisted his body to avoid it, and when she missed her attack, he punched again. However, Athena's sword did not stop. She flipped her sword and slashed upwards without any hesitation.
Chen Rui didn't expect her moves to change so quickly. If he didn't retract his hand fast enough, his wrist would have been cut by the sword.
Chen Rui, who had trained in eight times the gravity, had an obvious leap in his speed. He flashed to the side and attacked again. Because the sword was not suitable for close combat, Athena withdrew her sword to block. The strong surging power made the broad sword body buzz. Chen Rui continued to attack. His hands seemed to have turned into several hands. Athena only felt like she was in a stormy sea. Even the demonic fire on her body was affected by this majestic power and trembled.
She was very experienced in combat. After blocking a blow, she decisively turned around with this force. The greatsword pulled the surging power and slashed back at Chen Rui.
Chen Rui didn't expect Athena to have this move. He quickly bounced his feet and distanced himself. A long mark was cut on the ground in mid-air. Athena didn't show any mercy. She teleported to his side and slashed hard.
Next to the wooden house, a long translucent arm extended to the pile of fruits that Athena picked today. It grabbed one, slowly retracted it to the front of the onion head, threw it into its mouth, chewed, and swallowed it with a satisfied look.
This time, finally, no one restricted Sir Slime from enjoying the food.
Looking at the two constantly intertwining and flashing figures in the distant roar, the bored Sir Dodo yawned and concluded, "Boring man and boring woman. Boring masters. It's really a boring morning."
A few hours later, Chen Rui sat on the ground panting. Athena also leaned against the tree on the side. Sweat dripped from her ruddy face. Her towering chest was constantly moving up and down. She held half of the broken sword in her hand. The other half was on the ground. The fracture was smooth as if it was cut by a sharp weapon.
"The grand master's inherited skill is really mysterious. What is the skill that broke the sword with a palm just now?"
"< Aura Blade >. Culia died under this skill. " Chen Rui showed an apologetic expression, "Sorry, I broke your greatsword, but I thought of it when you fought with Culia last time. You need a better sword. I will definitely give you a good sword in the future."
I wonder if the exchange center can exchange weapons and protective gear in the future. If it can, I must help Athena exchange a set of artifacts and divine swords.
"En." Athena was happy in her heart. She suddenly lowered her head and hesitated for a moment. After a long time, she mustered up the courage to say, "I also want a dagger. It's small and portable. This dagger is actually …"
It was the first time that Athena made a major request. Chen Rui naturally wouldn't refuse. Seeing her hesitant look, he thought she was embarrassed, so he quickly said, "No problem!"
"Hmph!" Athena suddenly glared at him. She seemed to be unhappy that he interrupted what she was going to say next, then she left angrily.
Chen Rui was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what he said wrong just now. Sure enough, as a sage said, women are unpredictable creatures.
Until lunch time, Athena didn't bother with him.
Chen Rui handed over a skewer of barbecue and reached out to push away Dodo who wanted to snatch the food, "Athena, if you don't talk, I'll leave?"
Athena snorted coldly and took the barbecue.
"I'm serious, Athena. I need to leave for a while because time is tight. I'm leaving soon."
Time was indeed tight. This time, not only did he have to go to Town Leia, but he also had to return to the Dark Moon City to fight Arux.
Athena was shocked and finally said, "Where are you going?"
Chen Rui didn't answer and said, "Athena, can you go back to the Dark Moon City? I will definitely come to see you within half a month. "
"You want to face the danger alone again? Dodo told me a lot of things. You did it secretly alone! "Athena was a little annoyed suddenly. She stood up abruptly," Why can't you take me with you? Do you think I'm a useless woman like a vase decoration? "
Chen Rui glared at Dodo fiercely. This time, the slime didn't dare to deny it. The onion made two hands and covered his eyes: I can't see you, I can't see you …
Chen Rui shook his head gently, "Athena, in my heart, you are definitely not a vase. Precisely because you are not, you should understand that many battles in life must be faced by one person. I can promise you that as long as the conditions allow, we will fight together in the future. Then, can you promise me to wait for me in the Dark Moon City? "
Athena lowered her eyes and said, "I know you are thinking about my safety, but I want to stay here to help the miners, okay?"
Chen Rui knew that she was worried about the miners who lived a difficult life. Moreover, the danger of the mine had been greatly reduced. The leader of the Red Devils would not return for the time being. Culia and other bandit leaders had been eliminated. This time, they were going to Town Leia to deal with the remaining Barnacle, so there should be no problem for Athena here.
"The bandits are now in Mountain Walan. Don't have any conflict with them for the time being. With you here, they won't dare to harass the miners. "Chen Rui thought for a while and said," Kegu will be left for you to use. You can bring the miners back to the residential area at the foot of Mountain Xilang to live, but you must not enter the main pit. "
Athena nodded. Chen Rui looked at the slime who was peeping through his fingers. He handed the space ring that he seized from Silva to Athena and shouted to Dodo, "Dodo, you stay and help Athena. I've put the dragon bones in this space ring. When necessary, you can pretend to be the ghost dragon. If Athena is injured, I won't let you go when I come back! "
Dodo heard the sternness in his master's words, so he quickly covered his eyes and nodded.
"Okay." Chen Rui stood up, "I'm leaving. Athena, remember to protect yourself."
"Before I came to the Dark Moon, my father once said a sentence to me. I'll give this sentence to you now." Athena took a few steps forward and stared at him deeply, "Although you're fighting alone, you're not alone."
The eyes were the window of the soul. Chen Rui stared at the pair of beautiful red eyes, and he completely felt her heart in an instant. It was no longer the hazy and indistinct feeling from before.
Yes, I'm not alone.
In this plane after my rebirth, in this dangerous and strange Demon Realm, I'm no longer alone.
Chen Rui couldn't suppress the strong impulse in his heart. He walked forward and hugged Athena tightly in his arms.
Athena's body trembled slightly. From the man walking over to the hug, she could obviously avoid it, but she couldn't. The Higher Demon power that was close to the peak level disappeared without a trace. She could only rely on the strength of his hug to support her soft body.
The two listened to each other's heartbeat as if the entire Demon Realm's time had stopped, leaving only the fiery heartbeat in the warm embrace.
After a long time, Chen Rui gently let go of his hand. Athena was just immersed in the wonderful feeling that she had never experienced before, so she didn't feel particularly shy. Now that she was being stared at by his bright eyes, she suddenly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. The heat spread from her cheeks to her ears.
"Wait for me to come back."
As Chen Rui said this, he strode toward Mengda without hesitation. He rode on the wyvern and flapped his wings.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave this warm house.
There were still many unknown and dangerous tests ahead waiting for him, but at this moment, Chen Rui's heart was filled with unprecedented confidence.
