The Warrior of Love

He didn't know what to do, nor did he know whether the emotion dominating his mind now was anger, sadness, or self-blame.

Seven years ago, he failed to save his relatives who were killed by evil spirits. Five years ago, he also failed to save his teacher. And now... he couldn't even save his last friend.

Even if he killed the Ghost King, the source of all evil... he had nothing left.

"I'm sorry, I can't stay with you anymore... But... Even if you are the only one left, please live on."

"……it is good."

A year later, all traces of the Shura War had completely disappeared, and there were no more legends of evil spirits and ghost-killing swordsmen in the world. The former swordsmen laid down their weapons and returned to normal life.

This temple that has witnessed everything still stands alone in the world, as if it has been forgotten by everyone.

There is a cemetery on the back mountain. At first, people came to sweep the tombs every year. Later, it became deserted. After twenty or thirty years, no one came anymore. Only the one-armed monk in the temple would come to sweep the tombs from time to time.

He made a living by carving Buddha statues and selling them. He seemed to have married a wife and planted wisteria trees around the temple and cemetery...

"Your Majesty, your faithful servant greets you."

The old gentleman in a well-tailored suit completely put aside his dignity, bent down without hesitation, and greeted the young man in the bath.

Even if the other person was leaning against the edge of the pool with his back to him and showing no courtesy at all, he would not dare to show any dissatisfaction, because their identities and status were completely not on the same level.

As a elder of a large magic society, he was already at the top of human society, but this young man was the "king" who transcended all class divisions and was the supreme being!

Not to mention the "king", even the three girls who are kneeling by the pool and serving the king in swimsuits, although they seem to be just maids, actually have a higher status than him.

"I heard that you challenged Lug, the Celtic God of Light, and you were able to defeat such a powerful God King. You are truly worthy of being our Eternal King!"

"enough."

The faint voice reached his ears, causing the old gentleman to freeze as if he had been petrified by magic.

"I've heard enough of this kind of flattery... Are you mocking me? You must know that I failed to kill Luger."

The blood color gradually spreading on the water seemed to verify this statement.

However, the old gentleman said: "It's just not for now. You are the king who always wins. Even if you are defeated for a while, you will come back stronger in the end."

"……Ah!"

This sentence seemed to hit the man's inner thoughts. He also believed that he would win next time.

"You're pretty good... Find me a witch with excellent psychic powers. I want to find that guy...

The sword of response that is sure to hit the target, the sword of backlight, is already in my hand. The next time I see Luger, it will be the day of his death!"

"Yes!"

The old gentleman said respectfully, then quietly left the overly large bathroom.

The black-haired young man stood up from the pool, and the beautiful girls came forward to serve him.

His naked body doesn't look very strong, but those who know him know that this body carries the power to hold up the sky.

His upper body was wrapped in circles of bandages, and there was a large scarlet mark on his chest... This was Luger's "gift". Originally, even gods or godslayers could not withstand this blow, but he had a special physique. Not only did he survive, he also sealed the Sword of Backlight in his body.

When he subdues the Sword of Backlight, his injuries will be healed and he will be ready to fight Luger again!

Jiang Liu, who killed the disobedient Chi You and ascended to the throne by defeating the previous leader of the Demon Cult, is the new King of Martial Arts and also the strongest godslayer!

Chapter 1184: Sorry for the long wait, Sun King!

"…The God-killing King sneered and chanted a sacred word. Various divine tools appeared out of thin air behind him and aimed at the Celtic God-King.

There are so many divine tools, each of which has the power to kill gods. Even the famous Luger cannot be careless..."

Snapped!

After typing the last character, the black-haired boy let out a long sigh. He didn't vent his anger by yelling. Instead, he leaned back in his chair as if all the energy had been drained. He was like a dried salted fish and didn't want to move at all.

Jingle Bell……

The boy slowly answered the phone and found that it was his editor. His eyes narrowed slightly and he sat up straight in his chair.

"Hello, Ms. Ringo?"

"Good morning, Mr. Yuanshan... the thing I told you about last time... yes, that illustrator has agreed to take over, but I still want to meet with you to understand your needs.

Yes, after all, this is Godkiller. The cover and character illustrations of the previous game were well received, and he also felt that taking over midway was a very challenging task. "

"Okay, tomorrow afternoon then."

After saying a few words, Jiang Liu hung up the phone and continued to immerse himself in the "sage" time.

After a while, he stood up, stretched himself, and began to think about what to eat for lunch.

When Jiang Liu went out, he accidentally saw his current appearance. He was stunned and immediately turned into the bathroom.

"Crash..."

After wiping his face with a towel, Jiang Liu looked up and saw the fair-skinned, somewhat frail young man in the mirror, and couldn't help but smile.

His new partner, the illustrator, will be surprised when he sees him tomorrow, just like everyone who knows him.

After all, "God Slayer" is a popular IP that has been around for four years. Not only does it often top the charts, it has also spawned comics, radio dramas, animations, and a mobile game will be released next year... This popularity has also made its author, Yuanshan Jiangliu, who goes by the pen name "Xu Mushroom", quite well-known in the industry.

Who would have thought that such a work was originally a practice piece by a junior high school student?

Moreover, it is a "fan work" that imitates the world view of a certain work in the memory of the previous life, plus adds a strong personal style.

To be honest, Jiang Liu felt a little ashamed that he earned his first pot of gold in the new world through this.

He originally just wanted to test the waters and had no intention of becoming famous with this work, but wanted to create his own works in the future... But they gave him too much!

Seeing the increasing number of zeros on my bank card... I really can’t bear it!

Alas, this materialistic world always forces honest and kind-hearted people to become profit-seeking guys.

“Hoo…hiss!”

Jiang Liu was about to turn around and leave when he accidentally saw a stranger appear in the mirror, staring at him coldly.

"What... eh?"

Jiang Liu was about to scream when the shadow suddenly disappeared. In the mirror, there was only himself with a pale face as if he had seen a ghost.

"No...Is it wrong?"

Thinking back, that figure looked somewhat similar to him, but was much more handsome.

The clothing is quite mismatched, neither modern nor ancient, but rather resembles the attire of an adventurer from another world in an anime.

...Inexplicably, he is very similar to the protagonist in his novel, as if he had walked out of the illustration.

"Isn't it because I'm too tired?"

Jiang Liu laughed at himself, "I've been staying up late every day and I'm hallucinating. No, if I keep going like this, I'll die suddenly one day and no one will know."

Jiang Liu secretly made up his mind that he would never meet deadlines again.

Tired of instant noodles and frozen foods, he changed into casual clothes for going out for the first time in a long time and planned to find a restaurant to have lunch.

For someone like him who doesn't like outdoor activities, the hot summer is quite unfriendly. Perhaps because he didn't pay attention to replenishing water on a daily basis, he felt dry mouth and fatigue after walking for a while.

"I remember there was a vending machine nearby..."

Just when Jiang Liu wanted to buy a bottle of drink to save himself, he suddenly saw a strange figure at the intersection, facing here... Inexplicably, Jiang Liu was sure that the other person was looking at him, as if he was eager to talk to him.

He looked carefully and found that it was a humanoid creature. He didn't know whether it was a tights or natural skin. The main colors were red and blue, with silver fillings in various places.

There is no obvious nose, and the face is very different from that of a normal person, but it has the exquisiteness of a statue and exudes divine beauty.

"hiss!"

This was the second time he was frightened today, but before he could react, the strange figure disappeared under the cover of the crowd moving back and forth.

When he looked at it again, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he saw that it was not actually a human figure, but a billboard with the pattern he had just seen on it.

[Tsuburaya Company's new work, the 30th anniversary commemorative movie of the Ultraman series]

[You are my light——To you 30 million years from now. ]

[“Look back, light will become the bond that connects hope!”]

There's a new Ultraman series coming out?

Jiang Liu curled his lips. This truly big IP, in terms of commercial value, reputation, and even the attention it receives from the society, far exceeds the seemingly popular "God Killer".

In fact, for a modern assembly-line light novel, animation is just a threshold. If the second or third season is not released for several years, the popularity accumulated before will completely disappear.

IPs like Hayao Miyazaki, EVA, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider don’t need to worry about popularity at all. They are truly evergreens…

Yuanshan Jiangliu, 19 years old, is a college student. His dream is to own an IP like Ultraman or Type-Moon one day and live a life like a mushroom, where he can make money even if he lies down.

The next day, Jiang Liu met his future partner at the coffee shop where they had agreed to meet. A month later, he received the other party's concept draft.

"Not bad! This style really matches God Slayer, and the female characters are also very beautiful... God Slayer?"

Jiang Liu flipped through the paintings, his brows gradually furrowed.

The scene depicted here is not his work!

In it, there are giant robots and boys and girls accompanying them on a journey to defeat the devil. There are adventurers traveling between islands in pursuit of legendary treasures. There are also stories of swordsmen who practiced to defeat evil spirits during the Taisho period of the last century...

The central character in these stories is not the protagonist of "God Slayer", but a man with an unclear face holding a long black sword.

But gradually, as Jiang Liu flipped through the drawings, his frown slowly relaxed and he finally calmed down.

At this moment, he was seeing the penultimate picture: a young man raising his middle finger to fate, facing the doomsday fire that was burning the world.

As for the last piece of drawing paper, it is blank.

Well, that's not surprising at all, it should be blank.

Because, this last piece of drawing paper contains everything that has not yet appeared, and only Jiang Liu himself can paint on it!

"That's enough."

The man drew a circle on the drawing paper... no, he drew a spiral.

He stood up and turned to look out the window, only to see a huge steel head blocking the sunlight and majestic eyes staring at him.

"Sorry for the wait, Sun King!"

Bang!

The huge glass window shattered!

Chapter 1185: Gurren Lagann Toppa: Magical Red Lotus!

"Who are you?"

"Brother, this person is so strange..."

The two brothers who were dividing the stolen treasure huddled together in a cowardly manner and looked at the man who suddenly appeared in fear and trepidation.

"You, you are here for the treasure too, right?"

Kamina chose to lower her head weakly and pushed out most of the treasure.

"All for you! Please don't report us, we are just trying to make a living.

Hey, Simon, come on, lower your head too, don't just stand there!"

"Big brother?" Simon was stunned for some reason and did not obey as usual. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"We...what are we doing?"

"That's really funny, Kamina."

Looking down at Kamina, who looked like a complete coward, Jiang Liu shook his head slightly.

"Huh? Do you know me?"

Kamina raised her head and smiled flatteringly: "Since we are acquaintances, please let us go for the sake of our past friendship."

"...Is this really good?"

"Ugh?"
