"It's just simple objective factors."

"More importantly, this is what you insist on. It is an important piece of the puzzle in the void in your heart. This void may be covered, but it cannot be erased."

"Um……"

Although he didn't quite understand what Klar said, he could at least tell that the other party cared about him and was comforting him. At least he didn't feel as uncomfortable as before. The boy nodded gently.

"…Do you want to keep trying? Although I can still stay with you for a while."

"Well... I'm not going to go. I... I still..."

Despite his efforts to adjust his mindset, the boy couldn't continue like this in the short term.

"Not going? Then forget it."

Klar could more or less understand the boy's feelings and stopped making things difficult for him.

The two of them walked like this, and unknowingly, they had arrived at the gate of Salisbury. At this moment, the gate was closed, and there were still many goblins on the walls on both sides.

"Hmm? Is this the northern wall of the city?"

The boy then realized that they had been walking on the main street running north and south, and finally reached the city gate without realizing it.

"Hmm... I guess there are Moss everywhere outside the city right now. Just be a little careful. Since no order for a city-wide curfew has been issued yet, it's at least a situation we can handle."

A trace of usual seriousness and earnestness finally appeared in Klar's features.

"Can I go take a look?"

the boy asked.

"Dealing with Moss and resisting disasters is not something to look at. This is a very tragic and bloody battlefield. Do you really want to see it?"

Klar did not arbitrarily determine that the boy could not step onto the city wall to watch the battle, but only asked him whether he had the mental ability to accept all this.

"Well, I shouldn't be scared."

"Then come with me, but I have to say this in advance: don't act impulsively."

I thought it wouldn't hurt to let him take a look... maybe this simple observation would really save his life when he was alone and helpless in the future.

Thinking this silently, Klar took the boy up to the city wall.

The goblin who climbed up the wall of Salisbury and was continuously shooting arrows at the city saluted Klar, but frowned when he saw the scenes below the city.

"Wait, this scale isn't right,"

The team of human guards that had just been promoted and sent to fight in the north of the city was exhausted after nearly an hour of fighting, but the number of Moss was still increasing.

Even though the goblin archers on the city wall were trying their best to suppress the Moss, they were unable to stop the Moss from approaching the city wall.

Although the walls of Salisbury would not be breached, the wandering Moss would only leave a greater hidden danger.

"Oh!"

"Ho...ho..."

An exhausted soldier was knocked to the ground by the roaring Moss. He couldn't even hold the greatsword made of mithril. He could only let it draw an arc in the air and then fall to the ground.

"Roar--!"

The two Mosses immediately surrounded them. These limbless monsters and irrational undead movements were faster than those of the well-trained guards.

The others naturally noticed that some of their teammates were trapped, but now they were also in danger. If they relaxed a little, they would be torn into pieces by the other Mosses.

"…No, it's too late."

Klar couldn't help but close her eyes, while the boy standing next to her clenched his fists involuntarily.

“No, no! I, I don’t want to die! Aurora… Lady Aurora! Save me, save me!”

The soldier's cry for help stung the boy's ears.

It was as if something was striking like a huge bell within my heart.

"I'm sorry, I don't care!"

The boy who couldn't bear to watch any longer stepped onto the city wall, and just as Klar opened his eyes, he jumped down with a panicked look in his eyes.

"Wait, no!"

Klar wanted to grab the boy who jumped off the city wall, but it was too late.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

No matter how well-trained they are, they are still just fragile humans after all. The guards screamed in despair, but the severe pain they had expected did not come.

A figure came galloping along the city wall and sparse grass. Just as a breeze blew silently, a slender and delicate hand grasped the mithril-forged sword stuck in the grass. With a wave of his hand as if instinctively, the two Moss were split in half by the young man's sword.

"laugh---"

After Moss was killed, there was a muffled sound and he disappeared in the wind.

His heartbeat was vibrating like a drum, and like a human, he was trying to pump out the boiling blood, releasing the huge magical power that had been dormant for quite some time.

"Squeak--roar!"

Instinctively sensing the threat, the Moss immediately changed their target, dropped the soldiers in front of them, and pounced on the young man who was not even wearing armor.

But there was no fear in the boy's eyes. The mithril sword was weightless in his hand. Every time he swung the sword, it would surely cut a Moss in two.

The human soldier lying on the ground was extremely shocked. The boy and he were holding the same weapon, but he could only barely survive under Moss's attack, while he was reaping the lives of monsters like a lawn mower.

Moreover, his movements were extremely agile, and the movements of a mere Moss could not touch him at all. Only when his figure danced, another silver light rose up, indicating that another Moss had been killed.

However, among the large group of mosses, there was one that luckily avoided the boy's attack, and immediately took advantage of the opportunity to pounce on the boy.

"careful!"

Klar, who could only watch from the city wall, felt like his heart was about to jump out.

Pseudo-Act 7: A flawless dream

"boom!"

Just as Moss behind the boy opened his empty, dark mouth and wanted to swallow the boy directly, a figure fell from the sky, and the roar and shock wave swept away Moss around him.

"...?!"

The young man was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw that the dragon fairy wearing lake light armor instantly drew his sword and cut Moss, who was close to him, into two.

"Mei Luxin? You're here?"

An involuntary smile appeared on the boy's face.

"Idiot! Who asked you to join the battle?! Do you know how dangerous it is?!"

The dragon fairy glared at the boy fiercely. This was the first time he heard such an angry accusation from her mouth.

"——Hurry up and get rid of these Moss, I will settle the score with you later!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Meilushin drew her sword immediately, and the pieces of moss were cut smoothly in half by the fleeting pure lake light, as if they had hit a high-speed meat grinder.

The speed of drawing the sword in an instant, coupled with the mobility that even a teenager might not be able to keep up with, made the Dragon Fairy the most powerful and strong war machine on the battlefield. The Moss group that had just suppressed the Royal Guards was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The young man was not idle either. Even though his speed was not as fast as hers, it was enough. He rushed towards the group of Moss that were about to be intentionally gathered by the Dragon Fairy, and then swung his sword fiercely. For him, it was just a simple coverage of magic power, and a small piece of Moss in front of him disappeared.

With the efficient killing of the young man and the dragon fairy, hundreds of Moss were killed in less than five minutes.

"Humph."

After cutting the last Moss into pieces, there was no smile on the dragon fairy's delicate face.

The soldiers of the Royal Guards supported each other and stood up, and no cheers of victory could be heard.

The gates of Salisbury were opened, and the guards and the goblins in charge of the city defense were gathered together. Klar frowned and looked gloomy, and it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood.

The young man silently followed the guards back to the city wall. Predicting that nothing good might happen afterwards, he clenched the hilt of the sword in his hands somewhat helplessly.

"Line up."

Klar's slender hands, which she usually placed in front of her, were clenched into fists. She frowned slightly and was trying hard to control her emotions.

"...I have nothing to blame you for. Facing that number of Moss, you have done your best to hold on to this extent with your military strength and combat effectiveness."

However, in the end, Klar still let go of her hand. After all, they were just humans. Apart from being able to resist the moss poison, they were no match for the fairy soldiers in any other aspect. To be able to do this was their best effort... There was no need for her to be too harsh on them.

"But what's wrong with you guys?"

Klar then looked at the goblin soldiers and asked, "Humans are very fragile. I can't blame them for being able to do this. What's wrong with you?"

Klar narrowed her cherry-pink eyes, and just that one glance as it swept through the fairy guards was enough to make people feel a real sense of pressure.

The fairy soldiers all lowered their heads. Even though Klar was not as beautiful and powerful as Aurora, the leader of the Wind Clan, she was also a genuine superior fairy. Her magic power alone was dozens of times greater than that of lower-level fairies.

"It seems that you have been at ease for too long and have become slack... I will make adjustments to your treatment later."

"……Yes."

There was a little grumbling among the group of fairy soldiers, but due to the power that Klar had as Lord Aurora's deputy, they still behaved themselves obediently.

"Let's go back to the Cathedral first. I will redeploy the city's defenses later."

Klar waved his hand, and the soldiers in the north of the city lined up one after another and returned to the cathedral.

"Then the next problem is yours."

As the area around them gradually became empty and only three figures were left on the city wall, Klar, who had been trying hard to suppress his emotions, and the Dragon Fairy, who had been silent from the beginning, turned their gazes to a bewildered young man.

"Well...that..."

The young man gently put down the mithril sword in his hand and was thinking about how to start the conversation.

"Do you know how dangerous it was just now?"

The dragon fairy asked.

"Um..."

The boy didn't know how to answer, but no matter how he answered, it didn't seem like a reasonable answer now.

"Didn't I tell you to stay by my side and not act rashly?"

Klar was even angrier than the Dragon Fairy. After all, in her eyes, all this was caused entirely by her own negligence.

"Um……"

The young man nodded in a muffled voice.

"How dare you act on your own? And jump directly off the city wall? Are you crazy?!"

"What if I didn't get there in time?! Do you really think you can deal with those Moss with your strength?!"

"I...I didn't mean it..."

The young man, who was facing such a scene for the first time, was even more at a loss. Under the gazes of the two fairies, he just said: "If I didn't take action at that time, that person would definitely die."

"……so."

Under the gazes of Kral and the Dragon Fairy, the boy answered.

The looks of both of them slowly changed.

They suddenly realized that the boy in front of them was not a human who was afraid of death, nor was he a fairy who acted entirely based on his emotions.

"…Are you the kind of fairy who longs to save others?"

Klar's brows did not relax, but instead became even deeper.

Fairies are different from humans. They act entirely based on their emotions and do not care about the consequences. They can enjoy evil without any stain and also enjoy goodness purely.

Some goblins like to do evil, and naturally there are also goblins who like to do good.

It’s just that goblins who like to do evil can fight each other, but when goblins who like to do good meet goblins who like to do evil, they often end up being killed in an extremely miserable way.

if it is like this……

"Hmm... I don't know, maybe, but wouldn't it be better if we could do good deeds?"

The boy's words without any hypocrisy touched Klar's heart.
