What do you mean by "this is a dating game"?

What's wrong?

Disaster is imminent!

The guards of the city lord's mansion knew what they were doing.

They accepted a mission that allowed no room for failure; if they succeeded, they would enjoy endless wealth and glory; if they failed, they would be forced to leave their homes and live as fugitives.

I thought it was a sure thing.

did not expect……

The leader, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, looked at Sieg suspiciously. Was this person really an adventurer?

No luggage, no protective gear.

They weren't even carrying any weapons.

He was dressed like a dockworker, and his magic power was so weak that it was almost imperceptible. He seemed to have no fighting ability. Why was he in the Sui Palace?

The leader asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Sieg, and I'm a... rookie adventurer."

Suppressing his inner turmoil, the leader asked again, "Did you see a woman? Blonde, wearing a white dress, very beautiful."

Oh, this.

Sieg shook his head: "I didn't see it."

The leader remained unmoved; it was normal that he hadn't seen it.

What puzzled him was—

"How did you get here?"

The leader, gripping the hilt of his sword, took two steps to the side.

A sharp glint flashed in his eagle eyes, as if he could see right through Sieg: "I'm certain there's no one else in this area. But you, you appeared in the 'center' without warning... How did you get here?"

Cold sweat broke out again!

Yes.

How did I get through this?

Sieg really wanted to tell the truth: he had been harmed by the Myriad Wonders, and he didn't want to be here.

but……

How sincere must one be to convince this group of people?

Sieg said shakily, "I...walked here?"

No one answered.

Everyone stared at Sieg, their silence unwavering.

Sieg's hair stood on end. The silence was too sharp, like a high-frequency howl, making him uneasy.

To ease the tension, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "If I didn't walk here, did you expect me to crawl? Haha!"

"..."

"..."

Still, no one answered.

Sieg's sneer faded into the night wind, disappearing without a trace.

The seven guards from the city lord's mansion stared intently at Sieg with a serious and indifferent expression, as if their mothers had just died.

Sieg stopped grinning and raised his hands above his head.

The leader's emotions were extremely suppressed.

One can only imagine how terrified and agitated he must have been when Emila disappeared!

He didn't believe a person could simply vanish into thin air; Emilia must still be here, they just couldn't find her.

Do not……

It's not that we can't find it, it's that we haven't found it yet.

This young man who suddenly appeared in front of me is insignificant; I might as well kill him!

This is the Fire Palace; killing is perfectly normal here.

The leader turned his head away, saying without a word, "You can leave!"

"OK."

Sieg was overjoyed, as if he had been granted a pardon!

He nodded with unusual smoothness, but did not turn around. He watched as a guard holding a crossbow behind the leader backed away step by step.

"Oh."

A surge of anger rose within him, and the leader looked at Sig and let out a cold laugh!

This seemingly innocent boy was actually a seasoned veteran, aware of the dangers of the Sui Palace: "Didn't you hear me say 'leave'?"

Sieg blinked. "I'm walking?"

"What do you mean by walking backwards? Don't you trust me?"

"……Yes."

Sieg readily admitted it.

The leader opened his mouth but no sound came out; instead, he gave a strange, cold laugh.

He tore off his facade of tolerance and turned to order, "Third brother, kill this beast! He's shameless and doesn't know what's good for him; he's really making me laugh."

"That's how it should be."

A man beside him, holding a long knife, walked straight toward Sieg.

Under the moonlight, the wild grass lay prostrate on both sides, not blown down by the wind, but crushed by the blatant and concentrated killing intent of the third brother.

He dragged his knife, closing in step by step!

In the end...

Is there no way to avoid it?

"...You're forcing me to take action."

Sieg murmured.

The third brother leaned in and said, "What did you say? If you want to beg for mercy, speak louder, I can't hear you!"

Dark flames oozed from his pores.

The flames clung to Sieg's body, using his body as fuel, and gradually burned fiercely.

As the night wind blew, he was like a torch, radiating a bright yet sinister light.

at the same time.

His momentum soared, soared! A fierce and surging surge, as if he were about to reach the heavens and vie with the cold moon for brilliance.

Plastic chain form.

open!

The third brother instinctively stopped in his tracks.

He saw that Sieg's eyes had lost their sparkle.

He heard Sieg sigh in despair: "Wouldn't it be better if we could talk things out peacefully? Why must we resort to violence and leave ourselves no way out? You want death? I'll give you death!"

It was like a dark, raging storm.

Sieg bent down, sprinted, and threw a punch straight at the third brother's chest.

That punch was so powerful!

The steel-cast half-armor was dented and shattered. The force of the punch pressed down horizontally, shattering ribs and breaking lungs, turning intact flesh into a mushy pulp, and the force continued unabated.

Nobody knows what happened.

The guards of the city lord's mansion saw the third brother take off from the spot and spiral into the sky. The strong man, weighing more than 300 pounds, was lifted seven or eight meters into the air and landed in the weeds thirty or fifty meters away. He must have died on the spot.

What about Sig?

Sieg has disappeared.

A burst of black flame shot out and pounced on another guard from the city lord's mansion. A high kick struck the guard on the side of the head, causing his head to explode and his contents to splatter out, dripping onto the grass.

Up to this moment.

The remaining guards finally saw the true nature of the flame—

It's Sieg!

Sieg's lips were pale, and his face was expressionless.

He killed the two adventurers with ease, but he felt neither joy nor excitement.

He was like a block of ice, calmly announcing the death sentence: "There is no turning back now... If you don't nip it in the bud, it will only bring me endless fear, and I will always worry that you will come to take revenge... Just for my own good, please die here."

"this……"

The sudden deaths of the two men shattered the psychological defenses of the other guards.

They were no longer as arrogant as before; their weapons dared not point at Sieg, the tips of their blades lowered timidly, pointing diagonally at the ground.

"monster!"

The leader was dumbfounded.

The first-tier Fire Palace only allows adventurers of tier one and below to exist.

They came from the Blackscale City Lord's Mansion, wore excellent equipment, and received formal training. Their combat capabilities were unmatched by wild adventurers.

Logically speaking, they should be the ones being indiscriminately killed; they shouldn't be the ones being indiscriminately killed!

"Don't panic, everyone, he only has—"

One of the guards shouted, trying to inspire courage in others, but more so to dispel his own fear.

But the wind was biting cold, and Sieg "teleported" to his side. What kind of movement technique was that?!

A palm thrust diagonally, penetrating straight into flesh and blood.

Sieg ripped his body in half, blood gushing out, a dark curtain in the moonlight.

He's really gone mad.

Silent yet ruthless, moving like a ghost, each pause a kill; within ten seconds of the battle beginning, Sieg had mercilessly torn five guards to shreds.

The remaining two remained silent.

They exchanged a glance, then took off running!
