I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

In the bumps, Ful's consciousness returned to his body.

"Cough cough!"

After coughing twice, his consciousness gradually became clearer.

What followed was deep doubt about oneself.

Damn it, I faint at every turn. Is there something seriously wrong with my poor ability?

I've fainted so many times along the way.

"Fuer? Are you awake?"

"kindness."

Fu'er patted Leo's shoulder and signaled him to put him down.

"This ability of yours is too inconvenient, why did you pass out again? There is nothing abnormal about your body, right? How about we send you back to rest first? After all, we don't have a logistics hero like Yan Shang here."

Leo asked with concern.

"No, there's nothing wrong with me. I just... was dragged to see the ending of a story."

Fu'er shook his head and said.

"We need to find a sword. All the consciousness and souls that were taken away are there."

"Is that what you're talking about?"

Elena pointed forward.

Not far away, the dense coniferous forest finally came to an end. On the cliff by the sea, there were some stones and ruins scattered, and a vaguely tower-like shape could still be recognized.

Before that, a broken sword blade was quietly inserted into a stone embedded in the ground.

Witness the erosion of time.

"Yes, this is it."

Even though the scene in front of him was more dilapidated than what he saw in his dream, Fu'er could still firmly recognize it.

Just as Ful was about to step forward, Elena's staff stopped him.

"?"

"Please don't come close for now, Ful."

Elena stared at the long sword with a solemn expression.

"what happened?"

Fu'er looked at Elena, who had a serious expression, and then turned to look at Leo, who was equally serious.

"Now that I have obtained the permission to share information, I can pass this part of the content directly to you."

After glancing at Broken Sword again, Elena turned around and said to the two of them.

"The following content is SSS blockade level information. Please understand it and do not leak it again. You two can accept this premise."

Leo and Ful nodded.

"Then, let me speak frankly. First of all, the existence of the same raw material as the [Eye of Atum], as you saw in that report by Ful, can bypass the observatory. A global disaster observation system based on the foundation. Just like the one in front of us——"

Elena took out a small instrument, which clearly displayed the distortion value level of their current environment.

Distortion level: S

"Well? Has the disaster already appeared?"

Fu'er summoned the battle axe, but still couldn't feel the slightest movement.

The disaster-breaking battle ax was not aware of the disaster in front of him.

"Strange, don't you feel it? Forget it, it's not important. Anyway, just listen to me."

Elena signaled Ful to be calm, and then continued.

"Then, here comes the key point. What exactly is the raw material? To describe it in the most understandable way, that is -"

"Fragments of [the world]."

"Fragments of the world? Can there be such a thing?"

Fu Er exclaimed.

"Yes, there are many similar names. For example, the remains of Gaia, the ashes of the planet, etc. Generally speaking, using the fragments of [the world] is the most accurate name to describe it."

"Uh... from the border?"

"No, ours."

"..."

Although there were still many questions, it seemed that now was not the time to pursue these questions. Fu Er suppressed his doubts and waited for the other party's explanation.

"The composition principle of the panoramic monitoring system created by the [Eye of Atum] relies on the sensitivity of the world itself to distortion and the rejection of foreign objects. But this observation system, according to the latest Research shows that any products of miracles and disasters that are made from the same fragments of [World] do not have the original sensitivity. Therefore, the ability to monitor is lost."

"Of course, I know what your doubts are. Our world is obviously still intact, so where do these so-called fragments of [the world] come from, right?"

"It was an existence created by the miracle holders of the past in order to establish order and perpetuate the race."

"Before the consciousness of the planet, the existence named [Gaia] was completely silenced, it was obtained through various forms as the [anchor] to stabilize the world."

"Due to some special characteristics of this land, there used to be several anchor points here. Of course, they have basically disappeared now. What is left are fragments among fragments, and the one in front of us is one of them."

Elena pointed to the broken sword and continued.

"And now it seems that it is still stubbornly carrying out its mission, even if the world no longer needs the existence of the so-called [Tower of the End] and [The Kingdom of the Dead] to maintain balance."

"So, as an existence that is older than our miracle, now it is robbing us of our power in reverse."

"This is our irresistible power that was born after the [Great Disaster]."

The current situation is deadlocked.

"Sorry...how about I try again?"

Fu'er asked aloud.

"Although in the illusion I just saw, I tried to touch the hilt of the sword, but it was bounced away."

"That will tells me I'm not qualified."

"What exactly does this qualification mean?"

"I guess it refers to the knight."

Elena thought for a while and then said.

"According to the legend here, what guards the gate of the Kingdom of Shadows is the gathering of the souls of all the knights. So if the qualifications for the round of trading are, apart from those transcendent beings in mythology, only the knights who make up the guardians are left. "

After that, the two looked at the only man present who could be called a knight.

"Huh? Are you calling me?"

At some point, Leo seemed a little careless, as if he didn't pay attention to the conversation between Elena and Ful.

He just looked at the sword blankly.

"...It seems that we have to think about it in the long term. If the deduction is correct, the only one among us who has the qualifications is Leo. But if Leo comes close, and with the conditions of the transaction, the miracle he holds will definitely be exposed to the world." Take the pieces away."

After clarifying the situation, Elena decided to retreat temporarily.

"Let's go, Leo, we need to report the information to our superiors for decision-making."

"No, no need, let me handle it."

Leo came to his senses, shook his head, and rejected Elena's proposal.

"Because, I heard their voices asking for help..."

Leo looked at the broken sword, but he seemed to see the innocent people who were bound and their souls were extracted.

"My people are crying and I must respond."

Without hesitation, he took the step forward.
