A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"Monk, Monk, Monk..." He spoke as he heard Lamelado's sinister laughter and saw Him reach for Levy's hand.

Everyone claims to be a person who upholds the precepts, so what exactly is a person who upholds the precepts?

What has this identity actually brought me? Is it all these messy things?

He was so grateful.

"Remember this, I am a person with a name."

“My name is Bray, Brayclas.”

Bray's voice was as cold as winter, even colder than the sword in his hand.

Before he was a monk, he was Blakelas.

He has his own important people and things, rather than being a toy manipulated by the world.

He raised the longsword in his hand.

Bray could feel another will awakening within the Heavenly Fox Tear within him, constantly influencing him.

The owner of the Heavenly Fox Tears eventually realized that someone was using his "tears".

If anyone else had obtained the Heavenly Fox Tear, it's likely that He wouldn't have awakened this will at all.

But this man who used the Heavenly Fox Tears was different.

Bray uses the Heavenly Fox Tears as a restraining force for the world.

"You are using my power."

—"Listen to my..."

"Shut up." Bray interrupted his own inner will without hesitation.

If this guy wants to tear his body to pieces, then come on, no need for any other nonsense.

After swallowing the Heavenly Fox Tears, he knew this day would come.

The will of "Celestial Fox" was ruthlessly suppressed by Bray, and it returned to silence.

He simply made Bray pay the price for his attitude.

Blood gushed from his body, transforming into a blood fox that corroded half of Bray's body.

Tianhu Lei was trying to stop Bray from unleashing his sword strike, pulling at his body.

Half of the magic of life force transformation is fighting against itself.

"So, this is what they call a god is all about," Bray said.

No matter who it is or what the circumstances, no one can stop him from unleashing this sword strike.

It is absolutely impossible.

Cards slid down one by one, and all the magic prepared beforehand was used to fight against the Heavenly Fox Tears that betrayed Bray.

Black Sunflower, Heart, Black Plum, Red Diamond—

He defiantly withstood the corrosive effects of the Blood Fox and thrust his sword towards Lamelado's largest eye.

At this moment when countless playing cards were flying, another roar rang out.

This sword pierced through Lamelado's body and his last vestige of pride.

The man-made space was thus shattered, along with all the surrounding walls and ground.

The crimson light engulfed the space, and once the blood tide receded, the space vanished as well.

This place wasn't originally there; it was simply created.

Whether this place was created by Sacchar or by Lamelado himself is no longer important.

Because everything has already settled down.

After Bray ripped Lamelado apart, the man and sword fell from above, crashing onto the track and creating a deep crater.

The land beneath your feet is the real Kapras.

The churning sea of ​​blood vanished, leaving only a longsword stuck in the deep pit.

Bray opened his blood-stained right eye.

He realized that at the moment Lamelado was killed, he had been targeted by the gods.

Perhaps this includes "Celestial Fox" and "Fallen Lord".

So what if he's being targeted? Bray believes he's always been on the opposite side of these guys.

The facts have not changed at all; it's just that I haven't been as low-key about it.

As Bray looked back in the direction from which the gods' gaze was coming, Levy's tearful voice rang out beside him.

"Bray!!!" Levy clung to Bray like an octopus, refusing to let go.

She rubbed against Bray forcefully, as if trying to wipe away all her unease and tension.

Levy was terrified, first of all, that she would be killed by Lamelado, and then that Bray would be killed by Lamelado.

She was afraid of so many things that she was almost in tears.

Levy had never been so afraid, not even when she was isolated by countless people as a child.

She only felt fear after realizing that "she was going to leave Bray" or "Bray was going to leave her."

"Levy is so scared...Levy is so scared..." Levy buried her face in Bray's body and sobbed.

Bray couldn't see Levy clearly, but he could feel his clothes getting wet with tears.

This was the first time she had ever cried like this since she had known Levy.

“Levy must not leave Bray, and Bray must not leave Levy.” She said this like a child.

No, she is indeed a child, at least for now.

Although she will grow up soon.

“I will not leave,” Bray said softly.

At this moment, he was no longer shrouded in murderous intent, and the blood-red color in his right eye had been washed away by Levy's tears.

Killing is definitely not an important part of life; the people around you are.

"If you're scared next time, just like this time, call my name."

"Hmm..." Lei Bi murmured, then stopped crying.

Her tail swayed gently, but she still didn't get off Bray.

Bray didn't let Rabie get down; he simply sheathed his sword and changed to a position where it would be easier to hold her.

The person most affected by Sack's actions wasn't Bray, but Levy.

Bray felt it didn't matter if he dug himself a hole, as he could get over it.

Don't involve irrelevant people; that's his bottom line.

And without a doubt, Sack ran into this line.

"Does Levy still want to see the horse races?" Bray asked tentatively.

"Yes, Levy wants to see." Levy looked up, her eyes still wet and red, clearly from crying.

But she managed to hold back her tears.

Levy has always been strong, though sometimes that strength is heartbreaking.

What exactly did she go through to become so "strong" and "innocent"?

“Let’s not do the commission anymore, let’s go watch the game,” Bray said indulgently.

"Okay~" Levy's tear-streaked face broke into a cute smile.

P.S.: The main storyline's Bleed isn't strong; if you're the same age as someone from the if storyline, don't ask why. The answer is simply that the author doesn't understand blade rolling. My writing hasn't reached Mr. Lu Xun's level yet, so no analysis is needed.

Standing on the snow-covered ground of the Northern Continent, Bray looked up at the falling snowflakes.

He and Levy did not leave the Northern Continent, but chose to stay.

After killing Lamelado, Sack never reappeared.

He seemed to realize that this Bray was difficult to control.

For Sark, the premise of something being interesting is that it won't harm him.

But it was clear that Bray could harm him, so no matter how interested he was in Bray, Sack chose to give up.

Even though I am a reincarnator, I can be reborn even after death.

But as expected, Sax didn't want to be reincarnated at such a young age.

Unfortunately, Sack gave up on Bray, but Bray had no intention of letting him go.

This old monster in the guise of a child has crossed Bray's bottom line.

"Bray, it's snowing," Levy said, twitching her ears and pointing at the snow.

She seems to have recovered from the nightmare that Lamelado brought her recently.

However, that's only what it seems.

How could such an experience be easily forgotten, not even by Bray?

Lamelado's repeated experiences of torturing and killing himself still resonate deep within his memory.

The idea that one can be resurrected after death doesn't mean that one felt nothing when they died.

Similarly, Levy experienced the terror of demigods, so it's impossible for her not to have any lingering trauma.

“Yes, it’s snowing.” Bray reached out and caught a snowflake.

The snowflakes felt icy to the touch in my palm, but unfortunately they were quickly melted by my body heat.

"Levy, I'm going to find that child," he said to Levy beside him.

"Oh!" Levy understood which child it was without Bray's explanation.

It's that seemingly cute guy who actually makes Levy furious.

"Are you coming too?" Bray asked.

He went to see Sack, not to negotiate, or to do anything good.

Instead, he was prepared to be a so-called "decisive and ruthless" person.

"Decisive and ruthless" is something that everyone finds particularly satisfying.

Yes, that kind of killing that everyone finds exhilarating.

But what lies behind and what is the true nature of those killings that can vent all the darkness and release all the pressure?

Who would understand?

And Bray is about to become that kind of person, or rather, that kind of vessel.

“Levy is going too.” Levy said with a smile, holding Bray’s hand.

She knew what Bray was going to do.

Although Levy is not particularly mature, she is still in her twenties.

She will understand what she needs to understand; she is innocent, not foolish.

What Bray is going to do is probably the same thing he did to that bloated monster not long ago.

She didn't actually like seeing Bray like that, because it broke her heart.

Levy had long understood that Bray wasn't invincible.

His body can get hurt, and his heart can get hurt too.

"No matter where Bray is, Levy will go with him."

Bray had said that he would be by her side when he was afraid.

Therefore, Levy would never leave Bray so, so far away.
