A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

This wave engulfed the battlefield covered in yellow sand, destroying all the wreckage and weapons.

The entire underground space trembled, not by the waves, nor by the crimson waves behind him.

Instead, it was the murderous intent that drew them in.

Bray has also harbored murderous intent towards his enemies, after all, he wouldn't be merciful to someone who wants to kill him.

But this was the first time his killing intent had been so intense, as if he wanted to use everything he had to kill the bloated monster in front of him.

No, why use everything you own?

All you need is yourself.

I don't need anything; I am enough.

They were cruelly killed time and time again, and then resurrected again and again.

The process of dying was so slow that Bray could feel every tiny bit of pain.

This might be exactly what Lamelado wanted—torture.

However, there wasn't a single drop of blood on Bray's body.

After death, even his blood would be returned to Bray intact, as if nothing had ever happened.

The only sounds around were the clattering of the torture instruments, making eerie noises.

No one could endure such pain unless their "heart" was exceptionally strong.

Whether hero or warrior, everyone will succumb to Lamelado's torment.

This is far beyond what people can tolerate with mere "patience".

Faced with such torment, no one can escape feeling insignificant, and one's own mind will not allow you to distinguish what is truly important.

Since death can be resurrected, the torment Lamelado inflicted on himself is unnecessary.

Or, for Bray, as long as he can move, as long as he can walk towards this guy, it's not torture.

Seeing someone important to you in front of you in fear and tears, and being unable to do anything about it, is the greatest torment.

However, this rule is estimated to only apply to Bray.

Even the Golden Seed was puzzled by the height of his "heart".

Why is he so tall? What is the reason?

No one can understand why an ordinary person whose experiences are not particularly tragic would have such an exaggerated "heart".

Bray himself didn't understand, but he didn't care.

"Ha—" Bray exhaled a breath of stale air, stepped forward on the waves behind him, and took another step.

Even a small step is still a step.

Before Lamelado noticed, Bray was already only a few dozen meters away from Him.

Bray struggled to walk every meter, causing Lamelado to overlook the importance of calculating the distance.

How many times did Bray die in order to get closer to himself?

Hundreds of times is out of the question; it's probably only a few dozen.

It's not because Lamelado can't defeat Bray instantly, it's just that he prefers to torture Bray little by little.

Cutting someone in two isn't torture; it's cutting off pieces of flesh.

“Continue, let me understand you, let me understand your pain!” Lamelado said.

Levy, who was beside Him, had already cried so much that she couldn't see anything when she saw Bray's condition.

"Bray, don't come any closer, don't come any closer!" She no longer wanted Bray to come and save her.

Because she didn't want to see Bray like that.

But all Bray wanted to say to Levy was, what was she thinking? If she didn't come over, then Levy would be the one suffering all this.

How could Levy possibly endure such torment?

The more Bray personally experienced Lamelado's cruelty, the less he would allow Levy to be touched by Lamelado.

“Where are you looking?” Bray asked.

At this moment, he stood below Lamelado, looking up at him.

Are the weak destined to only look up to the strong?

No, Bray may be weak, but Lamelado is definitely not strong.

"Oh? We've gotten so close without us even realizing it?" Lamelado asked in a casual tone.

He showed no fear of Bray, who was right next to him, and just laughed wildly.

What good is it if someone you can repeatedly torture and kill gets close to you?

“Yes, very close.” Bray looked at Lamelado with his red right eye and raised his longsword.

The sound of swords whipping up waves echoed in everyone's ears.

The longsword and greatsword were shrouded in a blood-red hue that symbolized killing intent.

"Azure Rain Sword" "September Rain"

The mournful rain began to fall.

"Aa ...

In that instant, the most vulnerable part of my body was severed by the "rain" of thunder.

"Die!!!" Lamelado killed Bray once again in the next moment.

But He forgot that He had done this kind of boring thing many times not long ago.

Bray, who should have been dead, stood on top of Lamelado.

This time, Bray looked down into Lamelado's largest eyes.

"Ah! What have you done! It's just magic of this level! What else have you done!?" Lamelado wailed as he looked at his body, which had been split open from bottom to top.

He wanted to be reborn, but found that he could not.

It's as if the very act of "regeneration" has been severed.

Bray had said long ago that he might be weak, but Lamelado was definitely not strong.

I don't know what to use next...

It doesn't matter, as long as it's a sword that can kill Lamelado.

"Eighteen Styles" and "Sixteen-Character Star Interpretation"

At this moment, the underground was completely dismantled.

---

PS: Lamelado didn't see clearly what happened, even though he was referring to the "Eighteen Styles" and "Sixteen-Character Explanation (xie) Star".

He only vaguely saw sixteen characters that he couldn't understand, which appeared one by one as the long sword fell.

The character "一" symbolizes a star.

Sixteen characters, sixteen stars, listing out the entire starry sky.

Then this starry sky was shattered by a single sword strike.

Can the real starry sky be shattered? Perhaps not.

But at least Lamelado below him can.

With the power of a single sword strike, the arrogant demigod crumbled like a statue being shattered.

Even at the very last moment, His countless eyes were still filled with bewilderment.

When the bloated body is crushed, it's not a scene of muscles being cut open, but a scene of a statue being smashed.

"Why!? Why did I lose!?" This question flashed through Lamelado's mind.

Lamelado didn't understand why he had lost, and why the loss was so sudden.

That's unreasonable. He is an apostle of God, and He should be superior to inferior beings.

"Unreasonable, unreasonable, unreasonable!" Lamelado gradually began to roar.

Accustomed to tormenting people and imposing his malice on others, He had never experienced such feelings.

Fear, despair.

At this moment, He recalled the way Bray had walked step by step before, and realized that Bray had not "crawled" over in a death struggle.

At that time, a demon crawled out of a sea of ​​blood and walked towards us.

It was calm, not difficult; it turns out He had misunderstood.

The silver seed's vitality delayed its withering, preventing it from dying instantly from a single sword strike.

But in reality, it's pretty much the same.

He raised his shattering arm and tried to grab Bray.

However, before those arms could even touch Bray, they were all reduced to dust.

"..." Since the arm won't work, let's use the concept.

He must kill Bray, and kill the man of the monastic life before him.

Lamelado finally remembered the significance of his presence here: to kill the shamans and for the coming of the Lord.

The pride of the Silver Seeds and the apostle's sense of mission stirred Him once more.

In order to create the true God who came out of himself, for "the fallen Lord Dopne".

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" He roared like a wild bull, his eyes fixed on where Bray was.

Then He successfully killed Bray with his concepts.

He was killed cruelly and cleanly, without even a chance to retaliate.

Because this is not a direct clash between weapons.

but--

And so, Bray lived on before Him once more.

After his shattered body was fully restored, he stood in his original position, without moving an inch.

Yes, it was only then that Lamelado remembered that the other party was someone whose life and death were blurred by the Heavenly Fox Tears.

Having killed him so many times before, why would he care about this one time?

He is a monster, without a doubt. Even those of the Silver rank must be called monsters.

"..." This time, Lamelado remained silent as well, and he did not say anything about killing Bray again.

The cruel one finally understood what "despair" meant.

And the despair was brought upon him by a Black Iron race.

This is a monster that can be killed, but the act of "killing" is meaningless to this monster.

Can this guy really be considered a Black Iron type? His entire body is stained with Heavenly Fox Tears, does that really qualify him as a Black Iron type?

It's a monster, definitely a monster; its blood-red right eye is the best proof.

With the sword that killed Lamelado, the entire underground area collapsed, and stones fell continuously from above, revealing a pitch-black void.

At the end of his life, Lamelado unleashed his last trace of malice.

Since we can't kill Bray, then let's kill Levy.

He knew that as long as Levy died, it would bring Bray endless suffering.

This is also a kind of torture, and there is no better way to do it than this.

"Hahahaha!!! Die! Suffer! Feel the pain of losing something important to you!"

“You who uphold the precepts, you will despair, you will regret coming to my side!” Lamelado laughed wildly.

The maniacal laughter masked Lamelado's fear, an attempt to uphold his so-called Silver Race pride.
