A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

At the execution ground, he clearly felt he could save the person in time, but it was as if something was restraining his actions.

It's as if everything is destined to continue this way, and there's no way to change it.

Bray's original fate was to be assimilated into the world of his mind. If it weren't for the white pendant, he doesn't know how long he would have lived numbly here.

Of course, he will surely wake up one day, as long as the mental image world grows strong enough to fight against certain mechanisms of this mental image world.

However, this is clearly going to be difficult for "Swan Song," which has only just developed its own will.

Ultimately, the story unfolded in a way that, like a pre-written fairy tale, was anything but beautiful.

"Master, what's wrong?" the girl's voice rang out.

In this place, perhaps no one but "The Last Echo" will speak to him.

"Beers" is usually a man of few words.

“I’m wondering if this story will repeat itself,” Bray thought to himself.

If this mental world is what Caesar uses to flaunt his relationship, will the story start all over again after he's released?

However, he waited a long time but the system did not restart.

Even if Caesar died, nothing would happen.

"What exactly happened..." Bray seemed to realize that he might have guessed something wrong.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the earth-shaking sound of horses' hooves.

The next moment, he arrived in the capital of Menggama.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!!!" The sound of horses' hooves sweeping across the ground shook the hearts of everyone in the city.

A large group of cavalry charged straight in from outside the city, and the city walls that were blocking their charge vanished in a crimson meteor.

"Kill!!!!!" The once innocent and adorable Ulitina now had only endless killing intent on her face.

She led her cavalry in a torrent straight toward the capital.

"Kill!!!!!!!!! Kill that guy!!!!" Ulitina and her horse were the most prominent riders.

When she ran on the ground, she was as dazzling as a crimson lily ignited by flames.

The straight meteor swept away everything in its path.

Ulitina now has only one goal: to storm the palace and kill the emperor who ordered the execution of Caesar and tricked her into fighting the enemy.

Yes, it's the emperor, high above all others.

Ulitina had no desire to consider the consequences, not even the fate of the country she was protecting.

Did personal affections ruin a nation? Was it selfishness?

Yes, that's right.

But who is truly protecting the peace of this nation? Why must I suffer such injustice? And why is it that Caesar, a law-abiding man, cannot even control his own life?

Anger, anger, anger filled the girl's heart.

Bray closed his eyes as the iron cavalry galloped past him, creating a gust of wind.

Just now, Ulitina rode right past Bray on her horse.

She didn't even glance at Bray.

"So that's how it is." Bray had always felt that something was off.

Now he understood everything at once.

Bray was half right; this mental world did not belong to Caesar, but to Ulitina.

The matter belonged to this great general who was a young girl.

For some reason, he completely ignored the existence of Ulitina.

She was just like Caesar, just like a real person, and didn't make Bray feel out of place.

But Bray simply ignored her.

He looked around and saw the crowd around him beginning to fall apart like blocks.

The crowd, which had been in a state of panic, became expressionless after the iron cavalry passed by, and then crumbled little by little.

This was even more devastating than when Caesar first discovered that his world was an illusion.

Bray let out a long sigh; he was the only one who hadn't disappeared with the others.

However, Bray knew he would soon suffer the same fate as those people.

He raised his head without saying a word, and above him was a sky where pieces of land were collapsing.

The sky looked like a jigsaw puzzle being shattered, breaking apart bit by bit.

In the empty spaces, nothing can be seen; there is no black and white, no objects.

Bray didn't know how to explain this collapsed sky.

Not only the sky, but the ground is also collapsing, and soon the area around the mine will be nothing but a deep abyss.

So Bray followed Ulitina's iron cavalry.

Now that we've found out who the master of the mental world is, things will be much easier.

As long as the other side lets you leave, that's enough.

Even from a great distance, Bray could still hear Ulitina's furious roar.

That roar seemed to echo throughout the world.

This mental world is undeniably enormous.

It turns out that people can go to such lengths for their own obsessions.

Bray didn't know how far he could go if he had a strange obsession of his own.

---

A man with only one eye carefully vaulted over obstacles and headed toward the capital's palace.

The palace was built in the center of the city, so it would take Bray a little while to walk there.

Unlike Ulitina, he walked.

If he also had a horse, he wouldn't be so upset.

Demanding a magic chariot in this era is difficult, so he wants a horse.

Ahead lies the city, behind lies a mental world consumed by rage.

Even Bray's footing began to falter; he was walking too slowly.

It's unknown whether Ulitina has reached the palace yet, or whether she actually killed the emperor.

"Boom! Boom!!!" Everything was falling, including the vast sky.

Perhaps this world has boundaries, but Bray may never reach it in his lifetime.

He grabbed onto a very luxurious stone pillar and then climbed onto a platform that was constantly falling downwards.

This is the last piece of ground I can reach.

There was no road ahead.

However, it seemed that Bray didn't need to go any further, because he saw Ulitina.

Ulitina's already bright red battle dress was now stained with blood.

It wasn't just the blood of emperors, but also the blood of treacherous officials and loyal guards.

Blood covered her body, seemingly proclaiming her unparalleled status.

Ulitina, not even twenty years old, had already reached an invincible level in this country.

There may be people more capable than her, but you won't find them in Mengjiama.

It can't be found in the surrounding countries either.

If she gets angry, who can stop her?

Ulitina, holding her spear, stared blankly at the collapsing sky.

I wonder what Ulitina will think after seeing this sky clearly.

Will they realize that this world is fake, and that everything they experience is fake?

Or rather, from the very beginning, Ulitina knew that everything around her was fake.

Perhaps she is simply waiting for the next opportunity.

She started to cry, crying like a little girl who had lost her toy.

Ulitina put down her spear, sat on the ground in a duck-like position, and rubbed her eyes.

No matter how you look at it, you can't connect her with the girl who stained the entire palace red.

What she saw in Brae was just a heartbroken young girl.

Although the riots following the breakup were somewhat terrifying.

"Why? Why is it still like this?" Ulitina sobbed.

"Is this what I wanted? Why don't I try to create a better ending?"

"Why do I have to repeat this story over and over again?" It's not that Ulitina doesn't want to experience that romance again and again.

But she didn't understand why she didn't create an even more beautiful story.

She didn't want tragedy; she only wanted beauty.

“Don’t be too greedy. Most fairy tales end in tragedy, and your story is no exception,” Bray said to the girl who was crying her eyes out.

“You…it’s you?” Ulitina finally recognized Bray at this moment.

Perhaps in her eyes, Bray was just an NPC, so she never paid any attention to him.

"who are you?"

“An innocent person who was accidentally dragged into your mental world,” Bray said calmly.

"I'm not really interested in your relationship; I just want to leave this place."

“…” Ulitina was furious at Bray’s tone.

"Are you angry? But actually, it was just your first love."

"It was just a first love."

“…” Ulitina slowly got up from the ground, her anger shifting to Bray.

Reason? Is what you just said enough?

At this moment, words are useless, so a battle is inevitable.

The outcome and process of the battle.

Everyone already knows perfectly well.

Bray looked at Ulitina, who was leaning back and about to fall into the endless abyss, and wanted to reach out his hand.

But Ulitina decisively slapped away Bray's outstretched hand.

She doesn't need rescue; she just needs to end it all.

The cycle of reincarnation should have ended long ago.

“What? You’re not as heartless as you seem, are you?” Ulitina chuckled.

This was the last thing Bray would ever hear.

Then all he could see was Ulitina's continuously falling figure.

He shouldn't have been able to beat Ulitina.

This general, just as she always boasted about herself, was invincible.

If Ulitina hadn't held back, Bray would have been dead long ago.

No, this is not just about releasing water; it's practically releasing the entire ocean.
