Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

It was because he couldn't bear the expressions of disappointment and dissatisfaction suppressed by his parents and older brothers that Eugeo hurriedly left the house the day after the festival.

Even if he leaves Rulid Village with Kirito, he still has the opportunity to choose to live for his family again.

Eugeo went to Sakarya to participate in the local swordsmanship meeting, and won with Kirito, and got the qualification to enter the guard team.

Although they survived the rigorous training and successfully got the letter of recommendation from the captain of the guards half a year later to take the exam at the Imperial Sword Academy of Northern Centoria, the captain also invited two people to stay on the spot.

He said that if they stayed in the Guards, the two of them should be able to upgrade their swordsmanship next year, and it is not a dream to become the captain in the future.

If you get a stable income in Sakarya, and then entrust part of the salary to send back to your hometown in a merchant's carriage, your family's life should be much easier.

But Eugeo still cautiously rejected the captain's invitation and asked him to write a recommendation letter according to the original plan.

Even on the way to the central capital, or after entering the Sword Cultivation Academy, Eugeo kept telling himself excuses in the corner of his heart.

As long as he is selected as the representative swordsman of the academy, wins the Four Empires Unification Tournament, and is honorably commissioned as an integrity knight, his parents and family will be able to live an unimaginably prosperous life.And as long as they wear the knight armor and ride the flying dragon and Alice back home, the parents will definitely think that this youngest son is their pride.

However, in the evening two days ago, Eugeo betrayed his family for the third time by drawing his sword against the senior swordsman-in-training Laios Antinos and Humbert, Ji-Jack.

He gave up the bright future that he had a good chance of being appointed as a knight in his generation... He even gave up his status as an ordinary commoner and chose to become a taboo-violating sinner.

At that time, although Eugeo was dazzled by the overwhelming anger, a certain corner of his head was still quite clear.

If he killed Laos and the others now, he would lose everything.

Even knowing this, Eugeo swung the long sword in his hand.

In addition to helping Tiezhe and Ronye who were about to be humiliated before their eyes, and implementing the justice he believed in, there were actually other reasons.

At that time, he did still have the murderous intent to liberate his inner rage, and the black desire to make Laos and Humbert disappear.

I really came to such a far place——Although I have transformed from a senior swordsman with only 12 people in the academy to a rebel against the Axiom Church, I still came to the most sacred place in the world.

After escaping from the pursuit of integrity knights using bows and arrows, and rushing into the incredible large library, the girl who claimed to be the former highest priest of the Axiom Church immediately told Eugeo that there are books that record all the history of the human world, and Eugeo Then read frantically.

Because he wants to know anyway, is there anyone in the long history who rebelled against the church, fought against the integrity knights, and finally succeeded in fulfilling his wish and fled somewhere to live.

Unfortunately, there is no such content in it.The prestige of the church always shines on the entire world, and all the people submit to the authority of the integrity knights. No matter how serious the disputes are—even border disputes between empires are easily quelled.

No matter how thick the books were, there was no record of someone entering the church with a sword and fighting the integrity knights.

...In other words, in the 380-year history after the Creation God Stacia created the human world, the most sinful sinner was himself.

When Eugeo was thinking this while closing the book, he immediately felt a chill that almost made his whole body freeze.

If it wasn't for Kirito who just came back to talk to him, he should have huddled in fear there.

While listening to the mysterious former highest minister with his companions, Eugeo told himself this several times.

It is impossible for me to return to my old life after abandoning my family, hurting others and choosing to fight the church.

No matter how much blood is stained on the hands and how dirty the soul is due to sin, in order to complete the only unfinished goal, I can only go forward.

He had to retrieve the memory taken away by the current highest minister, put it back into the head of Integrity Knight Alice Synthesis Sati, and send her back to Rulid Village, which he missed.

However, the wish to live with her should no longer be fulfilled.

Having committed various crimes, the only place I can go is the terrifying land of darkness on the other side of the Mountain Range at the End.

But even that's okay.As long as Alice can live a happy life in her hometown, then she has nothing to ask for.

Eugeo secretly made up his mind and stared at Kirito's back in front of him.

...If I say I'm going to the Land of Darkness, will you go with me...?

After asking the question silently, Eugeo immediately forced himself to stop imagining what kind of answer his partner would give.

The only black-haired friend in the world who is standing in the same place as him now, the thought that he might part ways with him in the near future made Eugeo feel quite terrified.

The time for thinking about things was quite short while stepping quickly, and the two of them immediately came to a spacious rectangular room.

In the central part of the right wall, there is an astonishingly wide staircase extending up and down.Since the ceiling was about eight mels high, it took about twenty stairs to reach the half-way landing.On the left wall, there is a double door surrounded by winged beast statues.

Kirito, who was walking in front, immediately stretched out his right palm towards Eugeo and pressed his body against the wall, so Eugeo also leaned his back against the nearby stone pillar.

They held their breath and explored the situation in the dim space. If what the former highest priest said was correct, then the door on the left should lead to the weapon vault they were looking for.

Even in such an important place, there was still no sound in the room, and no one else seemed to be there.

Even the light of Solus shining on the wide staircase on the right gives people a feeling of cold gray.

"No one is..." Eugeo whispered.

Kirito also nodded in surprise.

"This is the arsenal. I thought there should be at least guards here... But no one would dare to come to the Axiom Church to steal things..."

"But the other party already knows that we have invaded, right? Why can it be so insignificant?"

"Actually, they really don't take us seriously. We are such small characters, and we don't need to look around at all. That is to say, when we encounter integrity knights next, we will either have a large number of them or a strong opponent that is difficult to deal with. Let’s make the most of the remaining time.”

After Kirito finished speaking, he snorted with his nose, and then quickly ran out from the shadow of the wall.

Eugeo immediately followed him through the deserted hall.

Although the gate of the arsenal engraved with the reliefs of the two goddesses Solus and Tilaria has no keyhole, it exudes the majesty that no one without a sincere belief cannot enter.

However, Kirito put his ear to the door and listened for a while, then reached out to the doorknob.

When he pushed hard, the door opened to the left and right without making any hinge sound.

From the black gap opened about fifty limits, the cold air that had been silent for hundreds of years began to flow out, and Eugeo also trembled because of it.

But his little friend slipped into the door without hesitation, so he could only follow behind in a panic.

After closing the heavy door behind him, the surroundings were immediately plunged into darkness.

"System call———" The spell that came out naturally coincided with Kirito's voice, and Eugeo couldn't help but smile even in this situation.

Eugeo continued to chant Ge

t, and then recalled what happened two and a half years ago when I went to the northern cave with Kirito to look for Selka.
