"Because their deeds always bring hope and guidance to those who are lost."

A magic circle resembling the Celtic Trinity appeared beneath Ling Shu's feet. "But if you use this as a reason to retaliate against society and put on a 'I'm the one suffering the most' attitude, then that's another story."

"So, this is all I can say to you..."

He seemed more like the villain than the other person, saying, "Since you're living such a painful life..."

"Then why don't you hurry up and die?"

Chapter 283 Ling Shu: You're quite brave to use magic in front of me!

[Brutal Barbarian] Dix Perdix, currently has a Grace level of Lv.5.

At this moment, he was leading a motley crew of his fellow Ikelos Familia, escorting several enormous cages out of the man-made labyrinth.

Inside the latter, several 'monsters' were imprisoned, chained up, covered in wounds, and listless.

To be honest, Ling Shu didn't feel much emotionally moved by the plight of the "heretics" group.

Because his criteria for distinguishing friend from foe was never based on the race of the other party.

His reason for thinking this way was not based on the idea that "those who are not of our kind must have different hearts."

After all, in this fantastical world currently in the era of divine intervention... strictly speaking, Ling Shu has no 'kin'.

and so……

As an outsider, the core criterion for distinguishing friend from foe is to see what an individual has done in the past, what they are doing now, and what they want to do in the future.

It is important to know that these three points correspond precisely to the life experiences, character, and aspirations of a single intelligent being.

Therefore, it is the best way to see the true nature of a 'person'.

For example, within the 'Heretics', Ling Shu was particularly fond of the lizardman warrior named 'Reed,' thinking he was a good buddy worth befriending.

This is because, in the original timeline, this lizardman, in order to prevent a certain rabbit boy from continuing to be soft-hearted towards monsters and unable to bring himself to do it, deliberately swallowed a magic stone in front of the latter, thus warning him of the difference between a 'heretic' and a 'monster'.

"Never show mercy to monsters. We (heretics) will also be attacked by monsters. If you hesitate too much in the future because of our existence, then you and others around you may die."

These words undoubtedly helped the innocent and naive boy immensely.

As for now...

"Hey, hey, hey~ What's wrong with Bulga and the others? They actually let these random people in."

Holding a red-bladed spear, Dix stared at Ling Shu, who was blocking his path, with a grim expression. "Huh?"

Obviously, because the highly discussed 'war game' had just ended, and someone's fame was so high, Dix recognized Ling Shu's identity at a glance.

"He's actually a 'celebrity'? What a piece of shit."

The man in the leather jacket and goggles tapped his shoulder with the barrel of his gun. "But he's only a Level 3."

"Hey~ you..."

[Eternal strife, the indestructible thunder army—]

Ling Shu had no intention of wasting any more breath on this scoundrel, so he directly activated the lightning magic derived from the [White Demon Wand].

At this moment, the short poem came to an end...

【Carlos Hilde!!!】

"!"

Dix's eyes widened.

This was the first time he had ever met such an 'unreasonable' person.

In their field of vision, the densely packed golden lightning arrows, like a charging army of soldiers, formed a barrage with high-value Lv.5 power, supported by multiple skills such as 'Fairy Pursuit' and 'Fairy Star Song', and enveloped the Ikelos Familia.

To be honest, Ling Shu didn't expect that after the previous 'war game' ended, Hedin's favorability towards him inexplicably rose to the 'favorability level 4'.

This move was the wide-area annihilation attack magic that Ying introduced him to during their later chance encounter, which he successfully obtained her 'spell recognition' for.

The difficulty level is '4', the same as Bell's 'Flame Lightning'.

Generally speaking, although Hedin's magic cannot be cast instantly, he can freely control the trajectory of the lightning arrows he fires.

If I had to put it in perspective, it's an upgraded version of Lefia's 'Arc Ray' and 'Volley of Fire Javelin'.

Because compared to the former, 'Karus Hilde' attacks more times, while compared to the latter, although its power is somewhat less, its casting time is much shorter.

at the moment……

"Boom boom boom boom boom~"

Under Ling Shu's mental control, each lightning arrow accurately struck a member of the Ikeros Familia.

The power of a high-level Lv.5 magic is not so easy to block.

In addition, lightning is extremely fast...

"Damn it."

After just one round of carpet bombing, the only ones left standing on the scene, besides Ling Shu, were Dix.

Furthermore, including the latter, all those who were affected had electric arcs running through their bodies, clearly indicating that they were all in a state of paralysis and their movements were restricted.

Dix leaned on his spear with one hand, barely managing to stay upright.

"Ouch, that hurts! You jerk..."

[Eternal Conquest, the Undying Thunder General—]

Varian Hilde!!!

Aren't you supposed to be able to handle it?

Then I'll give you a 'large' one.

It was Hedin's magic, but this time it seemed as if the numerous lightning arrows from before had converged into one, forming a giant lightning gun, which shot directly towards Dix's location.

Faced with this offensive...

"Boom!"

Without hesitation, Dix grabbed one of his tough-skinned 'underlings' and used him as a human shield, placing him in front of him.

He had considered dodging, but those thunder guns, like the previous thunder arrows, could 'turn corners'.

If you can't outrun lightning, you can only tough it out.

In an instant...

"Dix, you bastard! Aaaaaaah!"

The tough-skinned 'little brother' was hit directly by the blaster, and while cursing, his whole body was charred by electricity.

And then he died completely.

As for Dix herself...

"cough~"

How could a mere human body possibly withstand a single-target spell amplified by numerous skills?

The fact is, while the grenades were striking that unfortunate fellow, they also pierced through his body, directly injuring Dix, who was positioned behind him.

At this point, a huge wound had appeared in the latter's abdomen.

Even some of the internal organs were clearly visible.

"You rascal... cough~ at least let me finish what I was saying!"

Dix coughed up blood, his face contorted with madness. "You're really only Lv.3?"

"No, that doesn't matter anymore."

Dix held a bottle of 'panacea' in his hand, broke the bottle open with one hand, and sprinkled it on the wound on his abdomen.

Accompanied by the wriggling of granulation tissue...

"It seems I can't underestimate you at all... Just use it."

Dix revealed a confident, sinister grin.

Lose yourself in an endless nightmare (fantasy)—

【Freyboll Daedalus!!!】

This move is clearly the berserk curse that Ying specifically warned the 'Eight Heroes' to be wary of during the previous battle meeting.

Honestly, this kind of magic... no, I should say 'curse magic', is really very troublesome.

But then he met Ling Shu...

Burn away, you external practices—

[Invisible Will-o'-the-Wisp!!!]

A shorter incantation, preemptively striking before Dix could raise his right hand, his fingertips spreading crimson ripples...

"Boom!"

"Ugh!"

His entire right hand was blown off by his own move.

Witnessing its tragic state...

"You dare to use magic in front of me?"

Ling Shu asked coldly, "Don't you know my name (title)?"

Chapter 284 The 'Dead' of the Past

Before his transmigration, Ling Shu had heard a report from abroad from his home planet Earth.

The title is: "The World's Last Man with an Iron Lung"

He was a man who contracted polio at the young age of six decades ago.

Unfortunately, fate always plays cruel tricks on people—just a few months later, a cure for the symptom was found.
