The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"Ning Feng, are all your friends like you, such powerful monsters?"

Although it was very disrespectful, Andrew still used the word "monster" to describe his friend after seeing that scene.

No way.

Upon realizing why Mephisto was able to overwhelm this group of extraordinary beings, Andrew could only shake his head helplessly.

It wasn't that the monsters on the left were weak, nor that they lost their will to fight due to confusion under the holy light.

Their desperate counterattacks seemed powerless and pathetic because they did not cause the angels any trouble at all.

"[Legendary Spear Technique], how come you're all such monsters!"

To master legendary-level abilities before reaching the legendary level is indeed a level that allows one to crush enemies of the same rank.

"You are a master of legendary swordsmanship, Mephistopheles is a master of legendary spearmanship, and what will your next friend possess? What astonishing abilities will he have?"

Turning his gaze away, Andrew focused most of his energy on the battle at hand.

Even though he no longer looked over there, he couldn't help but think about it:

"Ning Feng... I feel a lot of pressure being your friend."

Ning Feng's friends are all so outstanding. Although I'm not bad myself, I always feel a little inferior.

"No... he's not the kind of person who categorizes his friends into different classes based on their strength."

If Ning Feng were truly a person of low character, he would never have relinquished that honor to me back then, much less have spoken those words of proof on my behalf.

"The fact that I think this way about my friends makes me a really despicable person..."

Andrew split open the head of a troll, stuffed in special explosives, and jumped back abruptly.

boom!

In the violent explosion, the troll's head exploded into a shower of stars, and red and white objects fell from the sky.

For a moment, Andrew was lost in thought as he looked at the scene.

"Next time, buy him a drink and then properly apologize."

And now...

Taking a heavy breath, Andrew looked at the herd of beasts, whose numbers seemed to have not decreased at all, and sighed softly.

"I need to behave well so as not to add any unnecessary burden to your friends."

With a forceful flick of flesh and blood off his weapon, Andrew once again vanished into the shadows.

Charge into the enemy ranks!

……

……

[Was this a little too much?]

The black cat, unseen by outsiders, sat steadily on the head of the celestial horse, looking at Ning Feng with a smile and saying:

With such a huge gap, aren't you afraid your friends will feel inferior?

With a fluid motion—raising, thrusting, and retracting the spear—Ning Feng calmly replied after slaying yet another extraordinary creature:

"If this could make him back down, that would be the best outcome, but unfortunately that won't happen."

[Because he's your friend?]

No, that's not the case.

Ning Feng shook his head and sighed:

“Andrew will not back down, simply because of his pride.”

Chapter 383 Is it really the same person?

“Andrew has his own pride too.”

How could someone who has persevered and worked so hard to revive their family for so many years simply choose to back down because they see the gap between themselves and their friends?

That would be underestimating him too much.

They've seriously underestimated the crows in the courthouse.

Not just anyone can be a crow in the courtroom.

Even Ning Feng wouldn't underestimate anyone who could earn the title of Raven.

Just like what Andrew had told Ning Feng a long time ago, when the two were not yet familiar with each other.

No judge in the courtroom should be underestimated.

他 说:

"As a hidden blade of the Watchers, your identity must not be known to the enemy."

"Your achievements will remain unknown, and your sacrifices will go unnoticed."

"You are a part of the trial, you will become the trial itself."

"You will be an unknown person, a crow without purpose in the eternal night."

That tone, tinged with sadness and struggle, still echoed in Ning Feng's mind.

He clearly remembered the emotion conveyed in that voice—slightly dark, yet it showed no sign of giving up; rather, there was a tenacity within it.

Even if no one knows about my efforts and contributions, even if I am nameless and hopeless, I will not give up.

They will become the judges in the darkness!

And those aimless crows are the fangs and blades of the judges.

Even though their strengths vary, and some can even be considered weak, their will should not be underestimated.

They walk in the shadows, not for themselves, but for the light of others.

"It's a bit twisted, but it's also very romantic, isn't it?"

[Twisted? I think it's pretty good~]

Who says shadows are bad?

That's true. Demons' values ​​are inherently different from humans', not to mention this guy whose values ​​are even more twisted.

"Although I also thought the chances of success were slim, it's still a bit of a pity."

[Are you worried about his safety? Didn't I just hear someone heartlessly telling Miss Elf to abandon him if necessary? Wasn't that you?]

But Ning Feng showed little anger at such sharp remarks, and simply said calmly:

"Don't make fun of me, you know perfectly well what I'm really thinking."

[Hmph~ Can I take this as your gentleness?]

"Think what you want."

[That's such an awkward kind of gentleness! Men are such strange creatures~]

With a smile playing on his lips, Ning Feng unleashed his emotions in the battle, venting his helplessness and bitterness on the "innocent" supernatural beings.

"Sorry, that's just how men are."

Is that so?

The black cat laughed and disappeared into the shadow beneath Ning Feng.

……

……

Ugh, men's pride is such a hassle. Why can't they just say it directly?

Back in the soul space, the primordial demon shook his head and laughed for a long time before looking at the angel standing beside him.

They were both worried about each other, but neither was willing to say it out loud.

What do you think? Aren't they acting very awkwardly?

Cecilia didn't answer at first, silently watching Ning Feng fight on the battlefield, until a pair of hands blocked her view.

Don't give her the silent treatment; she'll feel lonely.

"........."

anger.

Although she wasn't actually looking through those "eyes," Cecilia still felt a long-lost...anger at Ariana's actions.

"you……"

Okay! I'll move aside right away!

Before Cecilia could finish speaking, Ariana obediently withdrew her hand, looking like a well-behaved person.

Seeing Ariana's annoying appearance, Cecilia's anger...

It's bigger now.

"……snort!"

But Cecilia didn't explode in the end. Instead, she glared at the demon and snorted angrily.

Haha, let's not talk about that anymore, really, let's talk about something you'd like to hear...

The demon gestured for the angel to look at Ning Feng and asked with a smile:

Did you expect him to master it so quickly?

Even Ariana, who had a deep understanding of Ning Feng, was surprised that Ning Feng had mastered spear techniques to the legendary level so quickly.

That's legendary; it's not something you can achieve easily.

Swordsmanship is one thing, after all, Ning Feng has always been very familiar with swordsmanship, and he has been studying it for a long time in a space where the concept of time has been lost.

But spearmanship is really different. If we really calculate it strictly, Ning Feng's previous use of the spear could only be considered second-rate, or even first-rate.

To be honest, Ariana's question wasn't entirely just making conversation; she was genuinely curious about the reason behind it.
