Manatsu exclaimed in surprise and quickly took her phone out of her pocket, but it was already switched off.

"Let's go."

With her phone dead, Manatsu dejectedly put it away and walked outside with Yuuki.

"Zzz!"

The rift in Helheim was easily opened, and Yuuki led the three of them inside.

Back in familiar surroundings, Yuuki spread her wings and carried Manatsu away.

The two flew above Helheim, with pale green light shining down, and Manatsu squinted her eyes.

"Yuyuki."

She suddenly called out to Youxing, who was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"If I don't get involved in this incident, will you never tell me what you're doing?"

Manatsu's question came so suddenly that Yuuki didn't know what to say for a moment.

Yu Xing remained silent.

The winds of Helheim swept past them, and a pale green halo rippled around them like waves.

He hovered in mid-air, steadily supporting Zhenxia's body, his gaze fixed on the endless alien jungle in front of him.

He knew exactly how to answer, but he didn't want to.

“Manatsu.” After a moment of silence, Yuuki finally spoke, his voice very soft, “There are some things you are safer to know the less you know.”

Manatsu, however, was unconvinced. She turned to face Yuuki's profile against the wind, her gaze intense: "Safety? Yuuki, your so-called safety is keeping me in the dark and leaving me to face these monsters alone?"

Now Manatsu understands why Yuuki often leaves after only a brief meeting; the situation in Zeya City is clearly not as stable as it seems on the surface.

"Correct."

Yuuki answered Manatsu's question almost without hesitation.

This moment interrupted Manatsu's thoughts, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

Yu Xing turned her head, and her eyes, which always revealed indifference, now showed a rare softness and stubbornness: "You are the most important person to me, and I don't want you to face what I've been through."

If the wind hadn't been so dangerous this time, he could have protected Manatsu perfectly, ensuring she wouldn't be in any danger.

"But I am a person. Since you regard me as the most important person, you shouldn't hide it from me!"

Yuuki's answer made Manatsu a little angry. Her voice rose a little, but she quickly lowered it again, with a hint of grievance, "Yuuki, how long have we known each other? Didn't what happened back then make you understand what kind of person I am?"

Yu Xing's lips twitched, as if she wanted to laugh, but she didn't.

He remembered the first time he met Manatsu; she was just as radiant then as she is now.

Then, amidst the raging fire in the old teaching building, Yuuki realized just how resilient this girl was, and how proud she was.

Even when betrayed by others, she showed no sign of backing down or fear.

But it is precisely because of this that Yuuki wants to protect her smile even more.

“I know,” Yu Xing sighed, “but I don’t want you to be in any danger. These are dangers that you shouldn’t be facing.”

"But what about yourself?"

Manatsu grabbed Yuuki's collar with her hand in mid-air. The movement was light, but it carried an unyielding stubbornness: "You bear everything alone. You don't say anything when you're hurt or tired. Don't you feel lonely?"

“I think it’s hard for someone to go far without the help of others, so I wanted to help Yu-Xing.”

Yuuki's cold heart finally began to beat. He looked down at Manatsu's clear eyes, which shone brightly and firmly.

"Don't hide it from me anymore." Manatsu raised her hand and gently stroked Yuuki's cheek. "I have the same abilities now."

After this incident, Manatsu also obtained her own memory, which greatly protects her life.

"We're monsters, you know."

Yu Xing forced a smile, trying to put on a genuine one, but it looked terrible.

This prompted Manatsu to raise her hand and touch his face: "So what if you're a monster? As long as you consider yourself human, that's all that matters."

Manatsu's awareness was much higher than Yuuki's: "If we can use this power to help others, then we are also doing heroic things."

Without saying anything more, Yuuki reached out and pulled Manatsu closer, resting his chin on the top of her head, his voice muffled: "You... you always leave me speechless."

Manatsu hummed in his arms, "Of course, I'm super—awesome!"

Manatsu's energetic voice made Yuuki laugh heartily, sweeping away the gloom in Fuuto.

His wings flapped slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he glided far away in the air.

The excessive speed caused Manatsu to gasp in surprise, but Yuuki did not slow down at all; instead, he sped up even more.

The exclamation quickly turned into silvery laughter, and the two flew further and further away in the eyes of Shinku and Kobayashi Natsu until they became a tiny dot.

However, Yuuki and Manatsu's happiness did not reach Shinku and Furubayashi Natsu's hearts; they stared at each other expressionlessly.

So what do we do?

They haven't boarded the bus yet!

This place is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Zeya City. How can they follow Wang back to Zeya City?

"Cough cough cough, what else can we do?"

Shin-hong shrugged; they'd have to walk back.

As for how long it would take... Gu Linxia's vision went black.

It took him a full half hour to get to the border of Fengdu!

At this speed, they would have to run non-stop for at least a day and a night to get back to Zeya City!

"I'm sorry!"

The two felt a sense of despair; this was physically demanding work.

Did the king remember that there were two other people among his entourage?

Shinku squatted on the ground, drawing circles, unwilling to move.

Gu Linxia did not reply, but instead turned his gaze to the woods beside him and shouted angrily.

"Those hiding their true colors, come out at once!"

Being in Helheim, his perception was much higher than that of the outside world.

Upon hearing Kobayashi Natsu's outburst, Shinku quickly stood up and turned her gaze toward the grove of trees.

"Swish swish swish..."

Having been exposed by Gu Linxia, ​​the people in the woods no longer hid and walked out openly.

Upon seeing the people, Shinku and Kobayashi Natsu paused, because there were two people standing in front of them.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Eiji stepped forward to greet them, but the person standing next to him just stared coldly at Shinku and Kobayashi Natsumi.

"This is?"

Upon recognizing Eiji, Shinku and Furubayashi Natsu relaxed their guard slightly and looked at the other person.

The man had an extremely cold gaze, wore a long trench coat, and had only one left arm. On his left hand were five rings, one of which shone with the brilliance of a diamond.

"If you ask me, we should just kill them all."

The man's words were filled with murderous intent, causing Gu Linxia and Zhen Hong's bodies to tense up instantly.

"Looks like this is going to be interesting."

Shinku twisted his head. In this extremely tense atmosphere, the fighting spirit within him gradually became active, and his body began to stir.

"Weirdos deserve to die."

This subtle situation was noticed by the man with the broken arm. He sneered, and without hesitation, he lifted his trench coat and brushed his left hand toward his waist belt.

"Haruto, wait!"

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Eiji stood in the middle and spoke up to stop them.

Chapter 168 The fierce Haruto

The atmosphere froze on the field, and even with Eiji's mediation, things didn't improve in the slightest.

"Does a cripple with a missing right arm really want to fight the two of us?"

Haruto's hostility caused Shinku to stop speaking to him politely, and his expression became somewhat unfriendly.

"hehe."

A fierce glint flashed in Haruto's eyes as he swiftly reached for his belt at his waist.

The diamond-like ring shone brightly, and the diamond-like armor quickly adhered to Haruto's body, the dazzling light forcing the three people around him to retreat.

"Die."

Haruto, transformed into his "diamond bachelor" form, didn't waste any words. Even with only one hand, he could lift a heavy axe blade.

He swung his axe blade horizontally, and intense light surged from the blade, transforming into a beam of light several meters wide that flew towards Zhenhong and Gulin Xia.

"Good timing!"

Seeing the incoming blade of light, Crimson stepped forward with her chest out, wielding her greatsword to slash at it. The white and black blades collided instantly.

The moment he collided with the light blade, Crimson's face flushed red. A powerful force emanated from the light blade, forcing him to take a step back.

"what!"

But how could Zhen Hong easily admit defeat? He roared, veins bulging on his forehead, and stubbornly withstood the light blade.

"Oh!"

The light blade and Crimson Crimson struggled to their limits, shattering into countless points of light. The blade loosened its grip, and Crimson Crimson staggered, almost falling to the ground.

"Looks like you guys are just average. You might not even be able to beat a cripple like me."

Haruto stepped forward, carrying a huge axe blade, exuding a powerful aura.
