Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

(I finally said it... What am I talking about?)

After she spoke out all her inner thoughts, Carla suddenly realized that she was beginning to feel a strong sense of fear and tension in her heart.

She had not realized this before she said it aloud, but after she said it aloud and re-examined her thoughts, Carula realized what shocking words she had said.

And this was in front of a dragon slayer.

Although Sieg and Kamui are both enemies and friends, he might not tell these words to the Sun Saint, but if he tells them all without regard for his feelings...

(I will definitely be punished.)

Even though we don’t know what kind of punishment we will receive, there will definitely be punishment.

Thinking of this, Carla couldn't help but close her eyes.

And the next one——

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, she was hit hard on the forehead. She covered her forehead with her hands in pain and burst into tears: "It hurts!"

"This is a lesson for you. It's better than a punishment that will break you down later, right?" Sieg said. "I know your wish. Judging from your wish, you don't want the Sun God Cult to be defeated by the might of God, right?"

"You still want to live in the Sun God Cult and as the Saint of Time. You just want a certain degree of freedom so that you can live more or less according to your own will. Specifically, you want to save the people you want to save, and no longer have to work hard and act only according to orders."

"Of course, you have no complaints about being replaced, and you can totally accept your own ending."

"Well......"

Carla covered her forehead and thought for a while, then nodded gently: "It can indeed be said that... I am not fundamentally different from other inferiors, just a little bit special. I am still the Saint of Time, and I am not ready to completely give up my identity."

(She has some self-will, but she still hasn’t gotten beyond the identity of the Saint of Time?)

Sieg roughly understood Carula's situation.

Objectively speaking, her wishes and her thoughts were not excessive. They were the wishes of anyone who had been ordered around for a long time. She could accept the current situation and the ending. She just wanted to get a little freedom before she died - that was all.

"That's easy. As for Shenwei, find some time to have a good talk with him and tell him what you said to me. This should be able to stop his offensive against the Sun God Cult to some extent. Although it's impossible for the two to reconcile like this, as long as Shenwei doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, the Sun God Cult shouldn't bother to track him down."

After all, the Hell Valley and the Roaring Blood Clan alone prevented the Cult of the Sun God from moving further eastward - however, considering Shenwei's character, he would definitely not want to run far away.

All Ziggy can do is beat him up.

"As for the Divine Religion..."

"that--!"

Carula suddenly interrupted Sieg: "Um...you...you are not going to expose your thoughts? Do you want to help me?"

"Just think of me as someone meddling in your business." Sieg smiled. "Besides, I'm not trying to help you. I just think that idiot Shenwei is a bit like my old self, so I think it's better to help him. I was just like him until a year and a half ago. I would make decisions on my own and thought I was doing it for the good of others, but in the end, I ended up causing a lot of trouble for the people around me."

"I almost made my friend lose her father, destroyed the city on a large scale, turned swords against my friends, and made enemies with countries all over the world... From my own point of view, I don't think I did anything wrong. I just want to protect the place where my friends and I live and live a peaceful life with them."

"But in terms of results, I actually brought about a lot of counter-effects... I think the same is true for Kamui now."

Sieg looked into Kalula's golden eyes.

"He must think he is doing the right thing, to repay your kindness, to fulfill his promise to you, and to save you from God's control. But you are still a member of the Church of God, and you also want to live in the Church of God, and want to live as the Saint of Time."

"If you two continue like this, you will definitely face the worst possible outcome - the moment the Sun God Cult discovers your private relationship."

As long as Carula lives in the sphere of influence of the Sun God Cult, she will not be able to completely hide the truth from the Sun God Cult.

It was already a miracle that she had been able to maintain a private relationship with Shenwei without telling the Cult for eight years, and it would not be surprising if the Cult discovered this relationship at any time.

Carla's face turned even paler.

“This can be said to be a problem that people like us will encounter.”

"Whether it's me, Shenwei, or you, we haven't received a proper education since childhood. You were indoctrinated with the outlook on life set by the Sun God Cult, while he and I have developed a different way of thinking from ordinary people while wandering in the wild. In this sense, we can be said to be the same kind."

Sieg stood up and said, "So, whether you think that I want to huddle together with my kind or that I am meddling in other people's business, I will help you a little with your affairs with Shenwei, and even if you are exposed, I will still give you some help within my ability. Anyway, I don't have any sense of belonging to the Sun God Cult. If the Cult wants to liquidate me, I can just expel me from the Cult."

"Sir, the Holy Saint of Flame..."

"Of course, we'll talk about these things later. There are only two things to do now - go and explain the situation to Shenwei and make that idiot keep quiet. Then I'll find time to check your body. You've been running for several years longer than the average, so I'll have to check you out if you trust me."

Carula stood up quickly: "I...I believe in you, Master Flame Saint! Thank you for your willingness to help me and Shenwei!"

"Don't agree so easily. Consider the possibility that I'm trying to trick you." Sieg sighed slightly. "That's it for now. I—"

[Lord Sieg, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but I have something to report to you.]

Suddenly, very suddenly, Brunhilde's voice rang in Sieg's mind.

(Miss Brunhilde? What's going on?)

【Mr. Wang Ma and Ms. Ning Yin have returned from the American continent】

[Ms. Ning Yin is seriously injured and is receiving treatment. Mr. Wang Ma is confirmed dead and is currently being revived.]

"--What did you say?!"

Sieg suddenly cried out in shock.

(Sister Ning Yin was seriously injured?)

(Is Ouma even dead?!)

What on earth is this——

42. Memories of the American Continent

The sudden bad news made Sieg forget about the matter between Carula and Kamui. He told her that he was leaving and ran to the first floor, dragging the depressed Yukina with him and flew out!

"Ningyin-sister! Wang Ma!"

After being sent back to the Kreinsheed by the teleporter, Sieg immediately rushed to the medical room as fast as he could!

And the moment he rushed in, what came into his sight was——

"what?"

Xijing Ningyin, whose body was wrapped in bandages with only his head exposed, was lying on the bed, eating an apple leisurely.

Sieg: "......"

Himeragi Setsuna: “…”

"Oh? You two are back."

After finishing the apple in his hand, he manipulated gravity to throw it away. Xijing Ningyin licked the juice from the corner of his mouth and said, "You are quite fast. Did you rush back in a hurry?"

"That's for sure."

Qige came to sit beside the bed and said, "We haven't heard from you for more than half a month, and when we got the news, it was that one of you died and the other was seriously injured. Can't we come back quickly?"

"I didn't expect that Lord Ning Yin would be injured so badly..."

Himeragi Setsuna looked at Saikyo Ningyin, who was covered in bandages, with great surprise.

The Lion King Agency, where she used to work, had many conflicts with Xijing Ningyin for some reasons, and it was not until she defeated them that they had the nerve to live in peace with her. For the Lion King Agency, Xijing Ningyin's title of "Yakshahime" was a symbol of despair.

She single-handedly defeated all high-level demon attackers, and was able to manipulate gravity at will, completely destroying her numerical advantage with overwhelming strength... In the past year or so, Setsuna had sparred with her several times, and even with the Snow Wolf, Setsuna had not been able to successfully defeat Ning Yin once.

And now, Xijing Ningyin, who was so powerful, has fallen to a state where there is no intact part of his body except his head? !

"How's the injury?"

Sieg asked, "You are so badly injured, why don't you lie down in the healing springs?"

"It's full over there." Xijing Ningyin stuck out her tongue. "It seems that in order to revive Wang Ma, we need to temporarily concentrate the power of the hot spring on him. After all, he was cut into a stick and then chopped into four pieces. Everything inside and outside his body was destroyed beyond recognition. It seems that it will take several days to revive him."

"As a result, I can only receive emergency treatment here first. But compared with that kid, my injuries are only a little more serious. After all kinds of healing magic were cast on me, my injuries have almost healed. After Wang Ma is resurrected, I will go soak in the water for a few hours and I will be fine."

(Is Ouma's condition really this serious?)

Sieg didn't pay attention to the second half of Ning Yin's words, but was attracted by Wang Ma's situation.

The effectiveness of the healing springs on the Crest is obvious to all. Even a dead person can be resurrected as long as the time of death is less than 24 hours.

And now this kind of hot spring is needed to concentrate all its power on resurrecting Ouma alone - what kind of state did he appear in when he died?

"You...did you go to the American continent? What on earth did you go through there to get so badly injured? Wang Ma, I can think of a little reason, but Sister Ning Yin, I really can't imagine who could beat you up like this."

"...encountered a monster."

Ning Yin was silent for a while, then said in a heavy tone: "That guy calls himself... [King of Minions]."

"——————!"

Zigg's expression tensed instantly! An unprecedented solemnity and astonishment appeared on his face!

Ningyin and Wangma met the King of Minions in the American continent? !

"...Speak clearly, Sister Ningyin."

"Ah."

Xijing Ningyin nodded slightly: "Let's start from... after Wang Ma and I got off the boat."

More than half a month ago, not long after Sieg and Xuecai left the Climbheed.

In order to seek higher peaks and to make himself stronger, Wang Ma planned to find a place to land and hone his skills, just like he did on Earth 94.

Ning Yin took a ride for fun, and also planned to teach Wang Ma a lesson.

Wang Ma did not refuse her to accompany him, and the two of them landed together on the American continent, which had the most abnormal reaction within the detection range of the Krinshid, and prepared to find out what was going on.

Then--

————————————————————————

"Well, that's about it for today."

hours ago.

Somewhere in the American continent, on a plain filled with alien corpses.

Looking at the black iron horse that killed a member of the dragon clan, Ning Yin, who was floating in the air, signaled him to stop: "There are no more dragons around here, so today's training ends here. The thunderstorm is about to come, let's find a place nearby to rest and heal your wounds."

The few people from Earth 52 have been using their supernatural powers for many years, so they have no adaptability to magic from other systems, but they can still learn some common basic magic, such as the most basic healing magic. Although the healing efficiency of this magic is very weak and is basically not much faster than natural healing, it can still be considered healing magic.

This situation is still needed now.

After pulling the dragon claw out of the huge dragon corpse, Wang Ma, covered in blood, jumped down and wiped the blood off his face: "I don't need treatment."

"Still talking tough? That big guy's last blow made you vomit blood. Your internal organs must have been injured."

"Minor injury... cough cough!"

Wang Ma coughed up blood as he spoke - his body was indeed feeling very uncomfortable right now, but he had experienced this level of pain countless times before, so it was not worth mentioning at all now.

Seeing him trying to hold on, Ning Yin sighed helplessly: "Alright, alright~~~Ah, you are such a fool. You can't be hurt by this guy if you use all your strength, but you don't use the wind all over the world at all, and only rely on your own magic power... This is not a competition, it's a fight for life."

"But it's just external force after all. I don't need the kind of force that can only last for a short time."

Wang Ma said in a deep voice: "I will reach the peak with my true strength and become the strongest. False power is simply—"

Halfway through his words, Wang Ma suddenly stopped, as if he had forgotten his words.

Then, as if there was some evil spirit behind him, Wang Ma turned around and looked behind him - he saw a strange girl standing next to the dragon corpse he had killed.

She was wearing a pitch-black windbreaker, her hands were handcuffed for some reason, and two strangely shaped swords, one black and one white, were floating quietly beside her.

There was a creepy yet empty smile on his face.

--【who is she】?

Wang Ma and Xijing Ningyin, who also turned around and looked at her, had the same question in their hearts.

And then——

——【What kind of monster is she? 】

Such questions appeared in the minds of both of them at the same time.
