Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1444: Washing Away the Ultimate Darkness
Nakano Ichika's feelings for Luther became sweeter and sweeter.

In this world full of danger and evil, Luther is someone she can rely on.

She looked at Luther, her heart filled with gratitude and dependence.

Luther looked at Nakano Ichika and continued, "I can save you this time, but I may not be able to save you next time. So, you must remember, "A warrior with a clear mind, when you use the power of your heart to the limit and bury the evil in battle, you must eliminate the evil in yourself and eliminate the ultimate darkness."

His eyes were full of seriousness and expectation, hoping that Nakano Ichika could truly understand the meaning of this sentence.

When Nakano Ichika heard this, her eyes dimmed.

She shook her head and said helplessly: "...I can't do it."

She is not Yusuke Godai, the hero with strong conviction and will in Kuuga's story.

She is just an ordinary girl. Although she possesses special powers, she feels extremely confused and helpless facing such heavy responsibilities and missions.

Luther looked at Nakano Ichika's lost look, but he was not angry. Instead, he said patiently: "If you don't even believe in yourself, then of course you can't do it. Everyone has the potential to become a hero. The key is whether you are willing to explore and develop it."

When Nakano Ichika heard Luther say this, she was a little touched, but she still said hesitantly: "But... I'm really scared. I'm afraid that I will lose control again and hurt the people around me."

Luther continued, "It's not as difficult as you think. Just stick to your heart. Your heart is your truest thoughts and feelings deep in your heart. It is your kindness, courage, and justice. As long as you always stick to your heart, don't be deceived by evil, and don't be swayed by fear, you will be able to do it."

Nakano Ichika was silent, she lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

She didn't know if she could do it, but she knew Luther was doing it for her own good.

She was afraid of falling into that state again, afraid of losing herself, and even more afraid of hurting the people around her.

But Nakano Ichika was still very moved to hear Luther's sincere words.

She raised her head, looked at Luther, with a firm light in her eyes, and said, "I know, I will work hard."

Luther corrected him seriously, "It's not about trying hard, it's about having to do it. No one can help you. If you don't want to kill your loved ones, the world also needs you to have the power to protect yourself and your important people. I am just a guide for you, and you still need to walk the real path yourself."

Nakano Ichika knew what Luther's words meant.

Only when you have enough strength can you protect yourself and those around you.

She clenched her fists tightly and said firmly, "I understand. I will do it. I will stick to my heart, eliminate the evil within me, and eliminate the Ultimate Darkness."

At this time, the surrounding volcanic eruptions were still continuing, and magma was flowing through the mountains like a giant red dragon, burning everything wherever it went.

"Let's go, your companions are waiting for you."

Luther said to Nakano Ichika.

Nakano Ichika was slightly stunned, her eyes revealing deep reluctance.

She looked at Luther steadily, and her bright eyes seemed to contain thousands of words.

Luther is always like this, coming and going in a hurry, like a meteor across the night sky, shining brightly only at the critical moment, saving them from danger, and then leaving quietly, leaving only an unforgettable back.

"Are you leaving?"

Nakano Ichika asked softly, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

She didn't know how long it would take before she could see Luther again after this separation.

Every separation was like carving a shallow scar on her heart. Although it was not deep, it hurt a little.

Luther looked at Nakano Ichika's reluctant look, and his heart moved slightly. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gave her a thumbs up.

This action is Kuga's classic action, with a power of encouragement and trust. Nakano Ichika saw this action and couldn't help but burst out laughing. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, instantly dispelling the depressing atmosphere around them.

However, before his smile could fully bloom, Luther's figure gradually became blurred and finally disappeared into the air.

Nakano Ichika stretched out her hand, trying to catch the disappearing figure, but she only caught nothing.

She stood there blankly, her eyes full of loss and melancholy.

Suddenly, Nakano Ichika suddenly remembered the bruised and battered look of Nakano Miku before.

The shocking wound seemed to still be flashing before her eyes.

Her heart suddenly tightened, and without thinking too much, she turned around and ran down the mountain. Her steps were hurried, with only one thought in her mind: to get to Miku as soon as possible.

At this time, in a hidden corner at the foot of the mountain, Soma Yukihira and others were gathered together.

There was a pungent smell of blood in the air. People were lying on the ground in all directions, all of them were injured and almost no one could move.

Their faces were filled with fatigue and pain.

The official people were unable to provide them with support.

There are so many monsters and demons in the area of ​​Mount Fuji that they are like a tide, one wave after another, making it difficult for them to cope with them.

Those monsters and demons have different shapes, some have hideous faces, some have strange bodies, and every attack carries a deadly threat.

The official force is limited and it is simply impossible to provide them with effective support in the face of such a large group of demons.

So, they can only rely on themselves.

Everyone knew that this was a difficult battle, but they had no intention of retreating.

They knew that behind them were countless innocent people. If they gave up, those people would fall into endless disasters.

"Miku!"

Nakano Ichika came running over breathlessly, her voice filled with anxiety and worry.

Hearing Nakano Ichika's voice, everyone looked at her.

In those eyes, there was expectation, fatigue, and a glimmer of hope.

"I'm fine, Ichika."

Nakano Miku hung her head and spoke weakly. Her voice was so weak that it seemed like it would be blown away by the wind at any moment.

She felt like many of her bones were broken, and every movement was accompanied by piercing pain.

If it weren't for the support of enhanced magic, she would have been shattered to pieces by now.

But even so, the damage she suffered was too severe.

Fortunately, Nakano Miku also knows healing magic.

Irisviel once planned to use healing magic to heal Saber's injuries, but she failed because of the curse of the deadly yellow rose.

But Nakano Miku is different from Irisviel.
