"What, what is this?"
Sai Na couldn't help but sit on the ground. She looked at Li Ke, who was wearing a white cloak and swordsman's attire and holding a simple two-handed sword. She couldn't help but mutter to herself. She felt a warmth in her chest and an urge to lean towards this man. She subconsciously wanted to reach out to Li Ke.
Li Ke frowned. There was a rather pure soul in the girl's body, and this soul had a very mysterious power. It was tightly connected to the girl, providing energy for the girl's life. It also absorbed the girl's happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy, transforming it into the sacred power she possessed. If this girl could unleash the power shared by this soul, the black fog attacking them wouldn't be worth mentioning. But it was clear that this girl didn't know that her life had always been entrusted to the soul in her body.
It was clear that this was the template of a legendary hero.
But it had nothing to do with him because this soul was rather selfless. Even if she died, this little girl and the girl in front of him wouldn't die.
"This is the Flying Thunder God."
Li Ke unsheathed his sword and didn't plan to fight seriously anymore. He took action this time because this little girl was in danger. He wanted to see what these people were capable of and whether they were worthy of being recruited into the Empire. If not, he would give them a bunch of severance pay and let them live an ordinary life, so that they wouldn't have to court death and suffer.
But now, it seemed like it wasn't bad.
"Sai Na!"
Urias shouted and rushed to Sai Na, who was about to stand up and walk towards Li Ke. He hugged his apprentice and looked at Li Ke with vigilance and gratitude. He also nodded to Li Ke.
"Thank you! But I have to go support my comrades first! We'll talk later! "
Seeing that Senna wasn't in any trouble, he planned to drag Senna to the fiercest battle on the side. Sai Na couldn't help but turn her head to Li Ke, the man who saved her in the midst of danger. Li Ke's eyes were full of doubts, and the holy soul was asking him for help. Li Ke pondered for a moment and smiled at Sena.
Looking at Li Ke's bright smile, Sena felt a little dazed. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Urias, who was pulling her, had stopped walking. He was frozen on the spot. She frantically turned her head to look in Li Ke's direction, but Li Ke, who had been standing five or six meters away from her, had disappeared as well. She turned her head again, and sure enough, her teacher, Urias, had disappeared as well.
Just as she was panicking, a voice rang out behind her. This kind of teasing and constant turning of her head should have made her agitated and panicked, but surprisingly, she only felt relieved and expectant. Therefore, when she heard this person's voice, her heart calmed down.
"You want to join the battle too? I think you're only twelve or thirteen years old. "
Turning her head, she saw a hooded man standing in front of her, holding a two-handed sword. The man's face was shrouded in thick darkness, and the only part of his hand that was exposed was also covered in golden armor. She couldn't see a single bit of skin on the man's body.
"Yes."
Selina nodded. She had been saved by Urias countless times, and she had also been chased by the black fog countless times. Regardless of whether it was out of her own hatred, her gratitude to Urias, or her sympathy for those who had been killed by the black fog, she wanted to fight against that dangerous thing. She wanted to prevent another person from being harmed by the black fog in this world.
"Then what's the reason you're fighting? Are you really ready to fight? "
The hooded man asked again, but Sai Na realized that when he said this, the window of the sanctuary was grabbed by a monster that covered the sky. The monster's scarlet eyes looked at her, and she couldn't help but feel terrified. Sai Na couldn't help but take a step back, wanting to walk out of this stagnant place.
Just by looking at this monster, she couldn't help but think of the black fog that followed her like a shadow. Whether it was waking up in the middle of the night to find her house shrouded in black fog, or watching the black fog chasing her devour unrelated passersby and those who wanted to help her, or the undead monsters that stared at her from the windows and doors, they all made her instinctively feel terrified.
Sai Na didn't want to live such a life. She didn't want to wake up to a monster looking at her from the window, ready to tear her chest apart.
But it didn't work. It was as if she was cursed. No matter how many methods her teacher, Urias, tried, as long as she stayed in a place for even a night, the black fog would descend upon her.
Just like this time, even if she stayed in the sanctuary, the black fog still surrounded her.
As she recalled the fear and uneasiness, the huge monster began to destroy this seemingly sturdy sanctuary. The bricks of the sanctuary, which looked like a church, crumbled under the monster's sharp claws. Boulders fell around Senna and deepened her fear.
On the monster's face, she saw the monsters that she had seen before, as well as the people who were devoured by the black fog. Sai Na's breathing quickened. Guilt, fear, sadness, and despair hovered in her heart. She didn't dare to look at the monster directly and only wanted to find a place to hide.
Scenes of her death in the battle with the undead in the black fog flashed before her eyes, as well as the deaths of her parents and siblings. She wanted to save people, but could only watch them die in grief.
"That's your fear, Sai Na. But you have to face it. Only then can you defeat it!"
Just as Sena was about to be overwhelmed by the fear in her heart, a gentle and warm voice sounded at this moment, comforting her uneasy heart.
"Face it?! You make it sound so easy! And who are you?! Why are you here?! "
Sai Na looked anxiously at the falling boulders and the huge monster that kept destroying the sanctuary. She questioned the voice in her heart with a sobbing tone.
The voice wanted her to face her fear? As if it was her fault that she couldn't do it! Why did she do this?! Why did she do what the heroes in the stories did?! Why did she have to suffer such torture?!
In the face of her questioning, the voice in her heart was also filled with disappointment.
"I'm a bad woman who was loved by a willful child. I'm a wife who didn't fulfill her responsibilities. But, Sienna, our lives are now linked together. No one wants you to be a hero to save or do anything. I just want you to save yourself."
The voice sounded rather sorrowful. Sai Na, who was overwhelmed by fear, didn't notice it at all. She just wanted to leave this place and leave this inexplicable situation as soon as possible.
"Myself?! You make it sound nice, but who knows what you're up to! "
Sai Na's voice sounded rather mournful. Her mournfulness and despair made the soul in her chest feel heartfelt sorrow.
"Then, do you really just want to get rid of everything? Sai Na, when you were waving your sword and being thanked by others, do you really just want to get rid of the fate of being entangled by the black fog? Sai Na! "
The voice's shouts were abruptly interrupted because the moment Sai Na was about to give up, the huge monster tore open the roof of the sanctuary and smashed the pitch-black hand where Sai Na was standing. If Sai Na hadn't dodged in the nick of time, she would have undoubtedly died there.
She hurriedly ran out of the roped door. She wanted to get away from the monster as soon as possible. She pushed open the door of the Sanctum and found another Sanctum in perfect condition. The hooded man was still standing in the same spot, leaning on his sword. She turned her head and found a hooded man in the room behind her.
She didn't have time to think because the monster had smashed through more walls of the sanctuary and was charging at her.
"What the hell is this place?!"
Sena immediately rushed to the door of the Sanctum. Just as she expected, after the door was opened, it was still an undamaged Sanctum. There was also a hooded man holding a two-handed sword. The second sanctuary was also smashed through by the monster and chased after her at an even faster speed.
"This is a trial," the voice answered.
Sena ignored the woman's words and continued running down the stairs.
But no matter how fast she ran and how many hooded men she passed, the monster was still following her like a shadow. As the sanctuaries were destroyed one by one, the monster's body grew bigger and faster. The comforting voice gradually weakened and the interval between its words became longer and longer.
When she pushed open the next door, her voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible. But this time, the words made Sai Na stop beside the hooded man.
"Do you really not want to change? If you don't want to change, then why haven't you left this place yet? As long as you give up, you can leave this place, isn't that right? "
Saina fell silent. She looked at the monster that was roaring at her. She could vaguely see her own face in it. She fell silent. Then, when the monster broke the door of the sanctuary again, she spoke.
"Who are you? I mean, what's your name? "
"Izul …"
The woman's voice also stopped abruptly at this moment. This was not surprising because when she entered the second Sanctum, she felt that this soul was rapidly weakening. It was apparent that she had to pay a price for passing through the sanctuaries again and again, and the price was borne by the voice.
Sai Na couldn't help but clench her fists. This feeling of helplessness made her feel terrible. At this moment, the hooded man who had been silent turned around and asked the question again.
"Then, what's your reason for fighting?"
Sai Na took a deep breath. She knew whether she could pass this strange trial depended on her answer. She glanced at the black monster again and looked into the hooded man's eyes. If the hooded man had eyes.
"Kill them."
The hooded man seemed to be taken aback, but after looking into Sai Na's eyes, he finally nodded. Then, he pulled out the sword from the ground and handed it to Sai Na with both hands.
Sena reached out her hand, but when she touched the hilt, she hesitated for a moment. However, when she heard the monster's roar behind her, she became determined again. She gripped the ordinary-looking hilt of the sword.
"So, the contract is established."
The hooded man's body emitted countless golden rays. Sai Na hurriedly covered her eyes. When the rays disappeared, she realized that Urias's reassuring warmth reappeared in her hand, but her other hand suddenly sank. She hurriedly looked over and found that her original standard silver sword was constantly changing in a burst of light, turning into a rather gorgeous sword.
The center of the sword hilt was a circle of white light. The light was transmitted from the center of the pure white blade to the tip of the sword. The sword hilt was in the shape of wings and light, and it constantly emitted white light like a belt of light.
"The Wrath of Justice …"
She almost instantly knew the name of the sword and its function. When she turned her head to look at Li Ke again, she realized that Li Ke had disappeared.
But what she didn't know was that the voice that had been helping her in the trial had also calmed down.
"With the help of such a divine weapon, Feyego shouldn't be able to hurt this child. If possible, she might even be able to end this farce. "
The voice was relieved and full of expectation and determination. Li Ke finally let out a sigh of relief.
"What a harsh child. I clearly told him to be more lenient. He's just helping a little girl, but in the end, he still made such a scene."
Of course, Li Ke was responsible for what had happened to Sai Na. However, he wasn't the one who had arranged the trial. Instead, it was the sword he had tossed out earlier. The sword he had used this time was a very serious and reliable child who believed in justice and fighting for those who couldn't fight. Therefore, his standards for choosing a master were slightly stricter.
His original intention was just to make the girl feel a little better.
Shaking his head, he grabbed one of the monsters that tried to jump on him and broke its neck. Then, he heard the monster say something.
"You're Li Ke?! Come and die! "
He turned his head and saw that it was an amalgamation of wraiths. This wraith had white hair and wore a crown. It also held a two-handed sword and its eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Oh."
Li Ke threw out a small sun.
Feyego.
Suddenly.
