Final Trial of Mankind

"This, what's going on..."

"It's not over yet!"

Starting with Tiona and the others screaming, a yellow-green body protruded from the ground.

Surrounding Ais, three heads.

The tightly closed buds bloomed together, and the huge mouth seemed to be looking down on her.

The lukewarm exhalation fell on her cheeks, and Aisi frowned, and was about to slash at the monster—without warning,

Piji, after the sound of cracking, the thin sword shattered.

"—"

"what--"

"This--"

Seeing the destruction of the weapon in his hand, not only Ais, but even Tione and Tiona were speechless.

Unable to withstand the output of Feng (Wind Spirit Sprint) and Aisi's fierce sword skills, the slender thin sword finally couldn't hold it.

Until now, she only focused on slashing vigorously—no, it should be said that she regarded this weapon as her favorite sword (the sword of despair). Cracks, shattered, told it had already exceeded its limit.

Immediately, the silver light scattered.

[Oops, I will be scolded. 】

This was the first thing Ais thought of when she broke the substitute sword.

"—!"

The piranha squirmed.

Facing three opponents attacking together, Aisi dodged by jumping.

"!"

She hit the monster's body with the pommel of the thin sword that had lost its blade in her right hand.

What bounced back was a hard touch. Although the wind force had been added, the enemy's skin was only slightly dented and there were no scars. After seeing it, Ai Si gave up the attack.

"Hey, why is it ignoring us at all! This time it's going to focus on Ai Si?"

"Could it be a reaction to magic...!"

Although Tiona and Tione also joined the battle, no matter how they attacked, the piranha only targeted Ais and ignored them.

She retreated from time to time while moving, keeping the battlefield away from Refia, and dodging continuously at the same time, the enemy's mouth pierced into the ground, biting the stone slab, and Tiona and the others met the large number of tentacles whips stretched towards her, making them attack. Ace was able to get out of the way again and again at the last moment.

"Ais, remove the magic! It will chase you!"

"But……"

"One person, one head, there will always be a way!"

The meandering snake-like body bumped and smashed along the way, knocking away the street vendors lined up by the roadside.

Facing the monsters rushing with their teeth and claws, Aisi was forced to concentrate on defense. When Tiona and the others passed by Aisi's side, she urged her several times. She had no choice but to break the magic.

Right at that moment...

"—"

A figure came into Aisi's eyes.

[Ordinary people, are they people who have no time to escape? 】

An orc child was hiding behind a roadside stall, sitting on the ground, trembling with fear, her eyes met Aisi.

If he fled in the original retreat direction—the right hand side, that long and big body would definitely smash the little girl to death along with the roadside stall.

Judgment is only a moment.

She opened up the airflow of the wind to the maximum and wrapped it around her body.

Desperate, Ais rushed to the blocked left-hand retreat.

Then, got caught.

……

"Are you ok!"

Refia fell to the ground in pain, when someone reached out to her.

The slightly trembling hands supported the ground, and the body that was trying to regain its posture was slowly lifted up.

"Kaha, cough, ah...!" Refiya coughed violently mixed with blood, and supported her upper body with the support of the female guild staff.

There was a burning sensation in the throat, and the abdomen seemed to be burning hot.

As long as she moved a little, her body would immediately feel a sharp pain. Refiya frowned, and her eyes barely swept around.

The entire road was completely unrecognizable, the stone slabs were all lifted up, the shops on both sides were completely destroyed or half destroyed, all were flattened, and the roadside stalls side by side had lost their original appearance and disappeared without a trace.

Refia wandered around with blurred vision, looking for their figures.

What I am looking for are adventurers who are several times stronger than myself, those gentle but cold, unattainable characters who always protect the weak self.

When her eyes focused, Refia saw the figure on the other side of the road.

"—"

At the same time, her breathing froze.

Shops with smashed walls.

The blond girl was bitten by the monster's big mouth and pressed against the huge wooden building, almost sinking into it.

Because of being bitten, the airflow of the wind formed a small spherical whirlwind. Not only that, there were two other piranhas pushing up beside them, Kazikazi kept biting, the Amazon sisters grabbed them and tried to tear them apart , but couldn't escape.

Countless fangs intended to ravage the blonde girl's skin, trying to crush the Wind Armor.

"Please don't move, we have to leave here to treat you!" She tried desperately to stand up, but was stopped by the staff of the half-elf guild.

Refiya resisted, leaving the guild staff at a loss as to what to do, but she gasped as soon as she followed her blue eyes.

"...[Ganesha Familia] will come to the rescue soon. Leave this place to them, please go and take refuge!"

"...!"

The severe pain that ran through her whole body caused Refia's body to bend in two.

The guild staff reassured her as calmly as possible, and she looked down at her left hand, breathing heavily.

【Ganesha Family】.

If they were armed, they must have been able to rescue them, Ais and the others.Compared to the injured Refia, they will definitely be a support for Ais and the others.

Leave it alone, leave it all to someone else, the pain in her body whispers to her.

Refia was speechless for a moment, she lowered her head and closed her eyes——then,

She clenched her fist with her left hand, her eyes suddenly widened.

She stood up.

"...!"

"—I am! I am Lefia Veridis! The elf of the Forest of Vincennes!"

The half-elf woman looked up at her with wide eyes, and she cried out, as if trying to drive away all cowardly thoughts.

"I made a contract with the goddess Loki, one of the strongest, proudest, and greatest families in Orario! How can I run away!"

Words can be turned into power.

Like magic, Refia lifted herself up, regained the main flow of power, took a staggering step, and then rushed out in one breath.

Refia returned to the battlefield with the sole purpose of helping them who were in trouble.

【—I understand, I understand very well! 】

Refia herself already knew it.

[I know I will only drag them down! 】

If I don't move, I will become the shackles of Aisi and the others.

Whether it is now or in the future, I have to let them protect me.

Even if I want to help them regardless of my life, I will be gently pushed away by them in the end. They will tell me not to worry and not allow me to follow them.

Just like back then.

[No matter how brave I am, I just don't deserve them! 】

No matter how hard you chase, you can't catch up. Even if you don't let go, the gap continues to widen.

The object of longing is too far away, which makes her suffer from inferiority complex, and grovels involuntarily.

They—the golden holy she is so strong, she is so weak, this hits Refia's heart.

【But……! 】

She wants to catch up.

She wants to help them.I want to be their support.

Refia wanted to be with them if she could.

She wished she could be that kind of character, to be allowed to be with them who accepted her and saved herself countless times.

"!"

The distance is shortened.

She got close enough to bring the target within range of her.

Keeping an eye on the monsters surrounding Ais, Refia began to chant.

"[Make a wish in the name of Wei Xian]!"

In the end, she had no choice but to keep chasing after him.

In order to catch up with the longing person, this is the only way to go.
