After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

At that moment, Murphy, who was lying on the ground, had his eyes filled with the dazzling white light.

Then, after a loud bang, all he could hear in his ears was a buzzing sound.

At the same time, he also felt an extremely hot storm blowing towards him.

Suddenly, someone's figure appeared in my mind, and somehow, a surge of strength seemed to suddenly surge in my body.

And that force directly allowed his damaged body to stand up.

After standing up, he immediately ran to Candice, squatted down, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Murphy resisted the impact from behind, and felt a burning pain in several places on her back.

He knew that the pain was caused by the sparks flying everywhere due to the explosion, some of which flew directly into his back.

The sparks carried high temperatures, burning his skin constantly and causing him great pain.

He gritted his teeth to endure the pain, and cold sweat began to flow from his forehead, but he still held Candice tightly and did not let go.

After an unknown amount of time, the impact from behind disappeared.

After a while, the buzzing sound in his ears gradually became quieter and his hearing returned.

It was at this moment that Murphy heard wailing from behind her.

He slowly let go of Candice and stood up.

Then he turned his body and looked around.

Many holes of varying sizes had been blown out on the nearby ground, and many of them were still burning with blue-white flames.

This is the same color as the fireball just now.

There was a big pit where the dragon fell before, and the dragon was lying in that pit.

It is not dead, but it has been dying for a long time.

It now looks extremely miserable, without even a piece of good meat on its body.

The crimson scales that originally contained flowing light were blown inside out and shattered, and some even disappeared without a trace.

And what was revealed under those damaged scales was its charred flesh.

Several of its claws were broken, and the remaining ones were no longer as sharp as before.

The most seriously injured part of its body was the big hole on its stomach that was blown out by the fireball.

The hole was so deep that one could see the internal organs, and the flesh and blood near the hole had been burnt.

Murphy even smelled the smell of burnt barbecue.

The giant dragon lay miserably on the ground, with unconscious gasps and wails coming from its mouth.

Murphy endured the severe pain all over her body and began to move her feet.

He staggered over and stood beside the dragon's head.

Only then did he discover that one of its horns was broken off, and the broken horn fell not far away.

He looked expressionlessly at the dragon's face and its eyes full of pain and pleading.

Murphy understood the look in its eyes and knew that it was not a pleading look for mercy.

He nodded at the dragon, indicating that he understood.

Then, he staggered to the dragon's neck and began looking for a suitable place to attack.

Finally, he found a place where a scale was completely broken. Only by starting from here could he cut it off with one sword, ending its pain completely and quickly.

When he was all ready, he turned his head towards the dragon and nodded to it again.

'No matter how death occurs or what kind of creature it befalls, it should be respected.'

Thinking about these words he heard from somewhere, Murphy raised the long sword in his left hand and chopped it down with all his strength.

"Sorry, human."

“What I did was not what I intended.”

Suddenly, a voice came from my ears. It was the dragon.

After hearing this apologetic voice, Murphy's pupils shrank unconsciously.

He raised his left hand with great effort, trying to retract the sword he had chopped down.

However, his body no longer had enough strength to stop it, and the sword in his hand continued to chop straight down.

At the last moment before he chopped down the sword, Murphy saw the fleeting message.

【Doragong Rui————】

The message disappeared and the dragon stopped wailing.

Because the sword, no longer sharp, had cut its neck and chopped off its head.

"Ding!"

Murphy completely ended its pain, and the sword in his hand was completely broken into two pieces like the dragon.

After doing all this, Murphy's body began to shake violently, and finally fell down slowly.

At this moment, all the strength in his body seemed to have been completely burned out.

Candice, who was standing behind him, realized something was wrong and hurried over to hug Murphy, trying to support him.

But it's no use.

Her petite body simply did not have enough strength to support this man who was much bigger than her.

"Oooh!"

She was overwhelmed by this man.

She was overwhelmed by this hero who belonged to her.

She began to hear the sound of steady, sleeping breathing.

The slow breathing made her face red.

Then, her hands, which were hugging the man's back, suddenly felt wounds one after another.

She suddenly realized why the man hugged her at that time.

Because these wounds were caused by the burns he caused when he hugged her and shielded her from the flames.

The number and depth of these wounds almost made her cry, but she once again tried hard to hold it back.

She pulled her left hand free and groped inside her cloak.

Finally, she found what she wanted.

She took out everything she found, but found that some of them were no longer usable.

The bottles that were crushed under various circumstances caused the highest quality potions inside to be lost in vain.

But fortunately, not all the potions were broken.

Candice breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that there were still several bottles of potions that were well preserved and could still be used.

She opened all the bottles of healing potions, each worth several gold coins, and poured them all onto Murphy's back and right arm as if they were free.

After doing all this, Candice hugged Murphy again and held her arms a little tighter.

Then she turned her head to the right.

She saw the face of the brave man.

A gentle and handsome face that has fallen into deep sleep.

A face that was forever engraved in her heart.

As she watched, Candice felt her heartbeat gradually quicken.

She thought of the thrilling things that happened in just one day today.

Then, she unconsciously moved her face closer and gently touched the other's cheek with her lips.

It was only a moment before the lips left.

'Candice! What are you doing!'

"You're taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"

Her face quickly turned red and she began to condemn her behavior in her heart.

but----

"But the hero hasn't woken up yet..."

"Then can I...?"

'...'

'No! Candice you can't do this!'

"If the hero knew about this, he would definitely hate you!"

After struggling internally for a while, Candice gradually came to her senses.

Then she moved her mouth to the man's ear and whispered.

"Thank you for saving me."

"My hero."

-------------------------------------

"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?"

"Hey! What's that look on your face?"

Westenmu, who had already arrived at the basement of the city lord's fortress, found that old Jed behind him fell silent after hearing what he said.

He looked back as he ran up the stairs.

But suddenly I found that the other person's expression seemed a little strange, so I couldn't help but ask.

"...So, this Lord Murphy you mentioned."

"Is it a young man with black hair and a sword hanging from his waist?"

"Huh? How do you know? Do you know Master Murphy?"

After hearing Westum's answer, Old Jed's expression became even weirder.

Then he spoke slowly, somewhat haltingly.

"The Lord Murphy you mentioned, he..."

"What happened to him—what happened to Master Murphy?"

"Your Master Murphy could be my apprentice."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silence fell, silence fell on everyone, including Old Jed himself.

Everyone was thinking about how to speak and break the awkward silence.

The first update of the new year, I wish you all a happy new year!

Um, do you have any red envelopes (extra monthly tickets or something)?

(?o?o)??

Chapter 37 Old Jed Watching the Show

Just when everyone was thinking about how to speak and break the awkward silence.

Suddenly they heard a loud "boom!", which came from the city gate.

Old Jed and Westden looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
