The magic lasted for a full fifteen minutes, during which time countless wounded soldiers went in and out of the magic circle. After recovering, they immediately went out and carried their unable to move companions into the formation for treatment.

When Hedin was able to sit up on his own, Finn asked anxiously, "What on earth did you go through?"

Chapter 179: The Tyrant’s Ravage (Part )

Hedin was stunned for a moment, his pupils slightly contracted, and it took him a long while to come back to his senses. He took a deep breath and said:

"We followed the plan we made earlier and attacked the base of the Dark Faction. Everything went smoothly. We also followed your instructions and went all out, mobilizing all our forces."

"But, when we were about to withdraw, that man appeared..."

Hedin's breathing stopped for a moment and he couldn't help but dry heave.

"Chardo..." Finn said the man's name: "How is his strength?"

Hedin took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "I can't describe it... It's a height that you can't appreciate unless you experience it yourself."

"We didn't even manage to use his full strength, and we were easily dismembered."

He seemed to remember something and imitated Chardo's tone and said, "I just touched it for a while? I haven't started to swallow it yet. How much do you want to disappoint me, Orarie!"

Finn's breathing hitched, "Touch, touch?"

He repeated Hedin's words, "Are you really that strong? Even all of you joined forces and were...defeated miserably?"

At this moment, Alan, who had regained his consciousness, sat up, stared at Finn, and interrupted:

"I just swung the big black sword in my hand horizontally."

Cold sweat oozed from his forehead: "It was just a simple swing, but I didn't see it."

Hegni looked up at the sky: "The Strike of the Tyrant, rings the death knell of the end, crosses the distance of the Death Gun, and shatters the pride of the hero."

Alfric cursed: "Hegni, don't get sick at a time like this."

Green: "Our collaboration is totally useless."

Du Hualin: "I don't even have the qualifications to meet him."

Berlin: "He was blown away by the sword wind."

Hedin sighed, "Although Ota told us to run away immediately, we didn't listen. We naturally used all our skills to attack the monster, but in return we got such a miserable scene."

Allen gritted his teeth and said, "That stinky wild boar of Ota was killed in just two rounds! Hehe, who needs that guy to save him?"

Alan recalled the scene.

He coordinated with Hedin's magic and Ota's slash, launching a surprise attack from the invisible back. But the monster easily deflected Ota's slash with a knife, dodged the sneak attack sideways, and slashed back, almost cutting him in half.

If Ota had not reacted in time and blocked the attack with his sword again, he would have been a corpse.

The price was that Ota's weapon was broken, and the black blade fell on his abdomen, and he was also knocked into the buildings on both sides as he rushed over.

Finn licked his thumb and chuckled, "...absolute martial arts, absolute brute strength. Ah, really tricky."

"You can laugh at this time, Parum!" Allen roared, "Are you laughing at our weakness? Just like that monster."

Allen could not forget that look of contempt, and the word "so weak" that Chardo inadvertently said when he swung the sword.

Finn spread his hands. "As you can see, I was just brutally beaten. I didn't even have a chance to fight back."

"We can't even handle the Chardo you mentioned, let alone two monsters of this level."

Finn shrugged.

"It's so funny. Do you want me to cry in front of you? Stop kidding!!"

"No matter how strong the enemy is! No matter how hopeless the current situation is! Isn't there only one way before us?! That is to pick up weapons and defeat the monsters. Either he dies or I die! Apart from this, is there any other way?"

"Or... are you afraid? Do you want to hide behind a little human like me?"

Finn scoffed, "Ah, if that's the case, then I won't be stingy!"

"Who the hell wants to hide behind you, Palum!" Allen jumped up and lifted Finn into the air.

"Oh, are you going to fight me only because of your temper? Wouldn't it be better to save some strength to blow up Chardo's dog head?" Finn said with a smile.

"Tsk——" As if he understood what Finn meant, Alan smacked his lips in unhappiness and threw him to the ground.

Finn patted his clothes and looked at Hedin, who was still sane:

"Let me be clear, if we don't work together and fight a battle beyond our current capabilities, we will have no chance of winning against the enemy in front of us!"

"I think you know the consequences of defeat better than I do. Those crazy people in the dark factions don't just enjoy killing. They also pursue wealth and women."

Hedin imagined Freya bound by chains and confined in a cold prison.

"We know it without you telling us!"

His eyes were cold: "I will never let that happen! Even if it means death!"

Finn held out his hand: "Then... until the next battle, we will be the closest of comrades!"

Hedin regained his senses and said, "Is this also your plan, Brave Man!"

Finn chuckled. "Who knows."

……

The night was particularly long. Even at dawn, there was no sunlight setting, leaving only a burnt-out sky.

The black smoke rising everywhere was like incense used in a sacrifice. It was not mourning, but regret and grief.

"Hurry up, there are still many survivors here!"

In the city where the fire had not yet been extinguished, Shakti led the Ganesha clan and other factions that were badly wounded and devoted themselves to the rescue.

But the difficult-to-extinguish fire seriously hampered the rescue operation.

“We need to send a wizard...! Is anyone there?” Yasfi’s voice sounded like that of a helpless little girl.

"Come and help! There are still people trapped under the rubble!"

"Asshole, anyone is fine! Come on! Bring the healer here quickly!"

She used her own fire extinguisher, doused the burning beam, and without waiting for the flames to go out, she hugged the red-hot charcoal with both hands.

"Please, don't die! Cheer up!"

Under the beam was an orc mother holding her four children on her back.

"No————, who?! Come quickly! There are children here!" Yasifei shouted loudly, but there were never enough rescuers.

The child's face, covered in coal dust, was getting paler under the ruins. If he didn't receive treatment...

"I... help?"

When Yasifi was in despair, a blue-haired elf girl appeared behind her. She gently broke her fingers, and the blue crystal on her chest emitted a faint light, and a stream of water rushed into the ruins.

As the water washed over the injured person's body, the wounds on his face healed after a few seconds.

The mother struggled to stand up, and the child in her arms cried in pain.

"Hurry! Come out!" Yasifei urged.

After everyone got out of the rubble, Yasifei took the elf girl's hand and asked, "What's your name? Which clan are you from?"

"Mari!" The girl raised her hand!

"Forget it, now is not the time to ask. Come with me! There are more people who need you!" Yasifei didn't care about anything else and took Mali's hand and moved towards the area where the fire was most serious.

Mali swayed a little, then took unfamiliar steps to keep up.

Chapter 180 The Taste of Stone

"This way, this way!"

"Are there any extra staff?"

"Survivors found here!"

Adventurers are calling out from all over the city. Before rescue can begin, reducing the fire, clearing the rubble, and finding survivors must be done in this order.

Unfortunately, the method of carrying buckets of water is simply not feasible. The only way to weaken the fire and avoid a secondary disaster is the magician.

Not to mention the need for wizards specializing in water and ice, there are not enough adventurers who can use magic to meet the needs of the entire city.

No wonder Yasifi would keep holding on to Malu.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the street corner, countless people gathered outside the Fire City turned their heads.

"Adventurer, is it an adventurer? Please save my child quickly."

"He...that's still in there!"

They gradually gathered around and grabbed Yasfi's hands.

"Can you use the magic you just did? Put down the fire here!" Yasifi grabbed Mary's hand and begged.

Compared to the brick and stone structures in other locations, the buildings on Daedalus Street are simpler, the routes are more complicated, and rescue is more difficult and cumbersome.

"Please, my baby is still in there!"

“My family too!”

"You are adventurers, right? Save them!"

When faced with a disaster that affected the entire city, the residents living on Daedalus Street gave up their previous pride and willfulness and cried and prayed.

Although Mary didn’t understand, but…

"Everyone, it's very sad. I want to bang everyone!"

She clasped her fingers together in a prayer position, and the sapphire ornament on her chest emitted a hazy mist.

A stream of water rose from under her feet, circled around, rushed up to the sky, and fell into the sea of ​​fire. But it was too little.

Yasifei was stunned for a moment and covered her face: "I was too anxious. I didn't expect that you are limited in your ability."

"Let's go and do what we can." Yasifei was about to pull Mali away.

The residents changed their previous sorrow and showed anger and madness on their faces: "Why do you all want to abandon us! Aren't you adventurers?"

"Because we are poor people who are not taken care of by anyone?"

Yasifei showed pain on her face: "It's not that we don't care, it's just that we can't... There are still more people who need our help."

One man roared: "Because they are wealthy businessmen and politicians? Because they are richer than us?"

People around him echoed: "You don't understand us at all!"

"No one will save us!"

The crowd fell into chaos in an instant, like hope in despair, which gave people hope and pushed them into despair. These residents who had already accepted their fate uttered ugly curses, picked up stones on the ground and threw them at Yasifei and Mali.

"What are you doing!"

In the distance, the blond elf turned into the wind and rushed forward, brandishing his blade to block the people's stones. However, more than a hundred projectiles still passed through the sword barrier and hit Ryu's shoulders and forehead.

Yasifei also held Mali in her arms.

But Liu's appearance obviously ignited the people's final emotions.

"Liar! Give that man back!"

"Isn't the Astraea family a righteous faction?"

"Won't you help everyone...Won't you protect everyone!?"

"Hurry up and do something?"

"Maybe there is still hope... maybe... she's still waiting for me under those bricks somewhere, right?!"

"Why give up on us!"

Stone rain poured down, and all kinds of insults were directed at where Liu was.

The stone fell on Liu, but it did not surpass the heartache at the moment.

Is this the so-called justice that runs counter to "ideals"? Not being recognized, not being sympathized with, is like a burnt-out firework, which will eventually turn into black ash and become filthy...

Ryuu recalled the conversation with Ciel in Central Park.

If you were a hero, what would you do?
