I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

"..."

When he came to his senses, Ye Ming found that his body had been damaged to the point where it was out of control.

The halo began to fall off, and the wings of light also shattered. He was only one final blow away from death.

“It’s time…”

The heroic drama was about to come to an end. Ye Ming deliberately exposed a huge flaw so that Kiana could stab him with the fatal sword.

Afterwards, the hero triumphantly returns amid cheers, while the villain is buried in the flames. No matter how you think about it, this is the most perfect ending.

Kiana, who has been through many battles, naturally seized this opportunity.

She suddenly lunged forward, the tip of her sword wrapped in flames, shattering the air around her, and was about to pierce Ye Ming in the next second.

And at that moment, what Ye Ming saw...

But it was the silly white cat that once flew towards him happily.

He couldn't help but smile, and the smile was fixed like a photograph.

"..."

"..."

Ye Ming had closed his eyes, quietly waiting for his life to end.

But after a long time, the imagined heart-wrenching pain did not come.

All that could be felt was the rain falling from the night sky due to the severe convective weather caused by the flames.

"Is that enough?"

Kiana retracted her power, the rain soaked her battle robe, and the fire dissipated, as if it had been extinguished by the cold rain.

"It's so hard to meet you again, why do you have to hide yourself?"

"Kiana..."

Ye Ming's tone contained seven parts of astonishment and three parts of helplessness.

At the same time, Ye Ming in Kiana's eyes was no longer the cold and beautiful girl, but his original appearance.

"How did you know?"

"Ever since a while ago, when I was fighting you, my mind kept flooding with memories of our past."

The scenes that Ye Ming saw in a trance also flashed warm light in Kiana's mind.

"The closer I get to you, the stronger my heartbeat becomes, as if the person I think about day and night is right next to me."

Having said that, the phrase "thinking about her day and night" is too pale to describe Kiana's feelings.

As early as when Mei left her, Kiana had already noticed...

Even if the whole world disappears before his eyes, as long as Ye Ming is there, there are still things that can be called beautiful.

Such longing engraved in the deepest part of the soul can make Kiana remain calm in her daily life, while still controlling her most fundamental sorrows and joys.

Even if I used Yu Duchen to distort her vision and hearing...

But when you are close to the one you love, your inner feelings will not tolerate any deception.

"What on earth happened...why did you become like this?"

Kiana looked at Ye Ming's shattered body, and the strength she had maintained along the way almost collapsed.

"Kiana...listen to me..."

Ye Ming said in a low voice:

"I know what you're thinking, but it's all in vain."

"I don't have much time left. I can only give you the power hidden in my body in the end."

Kiana didn't know what happened during this period, and Ye Ming didn't have much time to explain.

But she believed Ye Ming. She believed everything Ye Ming said. And that's why...

Kiana had never hated this trust so much.

"Can't you just keep walking with me?"

"I'm sorry... I've tried so many things."

Ye Ming sighed:

"But whether it's the Key of God, existing technology, or even the power of another world, there's no way to save it."

Kiana roughly understood the whole story, but she couldn't accept it.

"So you want to create this illusion so that I can take your life without your knowledge and then draw power from you?"

"But if I didn't lie to you, you would never agree to this, would you?"

"..."

Kiana was speechless and could only let her tears mixed with the rain flow down her face.

"what about now?"

Her voice was very hoarse, like firewood soaked in water, which could no longer light a fire.

"How do you want me to... kill the person I love most?"

The rain hits every corner of the city, casting blurry and pale spots of light under the dim lights.

"I am not strong enough yet... to stab you with this sword."

The ticking sound, like the movement of the hands on a clock, records the time the two can still be together.

The rain was falling harder and harder, and their time was running out.

"Kiana..."

Ye Ming did not expect that Qiyana would break through the illusion he created, but he did leave a hand for unpredictable situations.

"I have something for you."

He took out a box, which he found in his room when he went to Saint Freya a few days ago.

"This is……?"

As Ye Ming opened the box, Kiana's eyes widened.

It was a yellowed piece of paper with a few large, eye-catching words written crookedly on it:

"A coupon that will help you realize whatever you wish for."

521. To the person who is afraid of pain and loves to cry

When Kiana saw the voucher that Ye Ming gave her on his birthday, she fell into a trance for a moment.

After a brief moment of shock, she could no longer control her emotions, and the tears that had been flowing quietly suddenly burst out.

"Fool……"

Kiana, whose shoulders were shaking, cried heartbreakingly:

"Why did you save this kind of boring stuff until now?"

"At that time, you also scoffed at this gift, didn't you?"

Kiana didn't expect to see the gift she once gave at this time. She was so shaken that she could hardly stabilize her flying state and seemed to fall at any time.

"Because that was your birthday present to me."

Ye Ming smiled bitterly:

"This is a treasure that can help you fulfill my wish. I really can't bear to throw it away..."

The note in his hand was protected by Ye Ming's subtle power, isolating it from the dripping rain.

Once upon a time, Ye Ming also cherished Kiana's feelings like he does now.

"Even so..."

Kiana, who was crying, kept adjusting her breathing before she could utter a few words intermittently:

"Didn't I tell you to use it in something more meaningful..."

Hearing this, Ye Ming wiped away Qiana's tears and said softly:

"Lighting up the way for your future is the most meaningful thing I can think of."

"..."

The brief silence made the dripping sound of the night rain particularly obvious.

Kiana knew that no matter how painful the rain was, it would eventually pass.

And after that, the gentle moonlight will bring a ray of light to the dark night.

Everything will pass, everything will change...

Kiana knew this very well, because this was what Jizi had taught her.

In that space of consciousness, she used gentle and profound words to soothe Kiana's scarred heart bit by bit.

And at this moment, Ye Ming, like Ji Zi, encouraged Kiana to move forward as gently as possible at the most painful moment of parting.

"Kiana..."

Ye Ming handed the note to Qiyana and said softly:

"It's time to fulfill your promise."

"……I see."

Kiana bit her cherry lips tightly, letting the seeping blood and rain water mix together.

She lifted the greatsword in her hand, but she had never felt the sword so heavy.

"..."

Kiana pointed the tip of the sword at Ye Ming's chest, but stopped at the last step.

"Ye Ming..."

She didn't know what to say, so she could only call out the name of the person she loved, because soon, she would no longer get a response from him.

"I am here."

"..."

"..."

"Goodbye."

In an instant, the greatsword pierced Ye Ming's chest. The wound that had been severely injured by the Queen and then almost healed was pierced again.

The heart and the body began to completely collapse, and the dying body turned into inorganic crystals.

"..."

The intense pain tore at Ye Ming's nerves.

He originally thought that his sensory system had long been scrapped, but he didn't expect that at the end of his life, he could still feel the excruciating pain pouring into his forehead.

But even so, this person who was afraid of pain and loved to cry did not react, but was smiling gently.

Ye Ming knew that any pain he showed would become Kiana's lingering nightmare in the future.

So even though his soul was twisted in pain, his gentle expression was not affected in the slightest.

"Why can you still laugh now?"

Kiana, whose defenses were completely destroyed, cried out:

"You are obviously... most afraid of pain..."

From the moment she found out that Ye Ming was more afraid of pain than most people, Kiana made up her mind to protect him.

But now, he has become the one who brings pain to Ye Ming.

"It's okay, Kiana. This isn't hurting me. This is taking the key to tomorrow from me."

Ye Ming resisted the urge to tremble and gently stroked Kiana's face.
