The following day, the Phoenix Flower Team rested for a day and began climbing the Tree of Life.

It took half a month to successfully reach the 49th floor.

Linda's level has reached the legendary tier, level 99, where there is no further advancement.

The lowest score among the team members is 97, making them top legends.

During this time, Lia and the others returned from the Azure Province.

The reunion with old friends was so exciting that words could not express it.

Seeing the grown-up and mature Lia, Linda felt as if she had lived through another world.

The girl's appearance overlaps with the CG of "Blazing Flames" in the game.

He thought Leah would blame him for taking so long to come back, but to his surprise, Leah threw herself into his arms and pounded her little fists on his chest.

When they parted, the front of their clothes was soaked with sweat.

Linda kissed Lia, then kissed Isa, who stood to the side with a melancholy gaze.

That entire evening was given to the two of them.

The large bed in the villa under the moonlight.

Linda put her arms around two girls on either side and said many sweet words to them.

If the adventurers of the Elf Forest heard this, they'd probably be utterly astonished. These two mature and powerful legendary swordswomen, Lia and Isa, were actually acting shy, and both of them were serving the same man!

Such extreme treatment is something most people cannot handle.

But since this person is Linda, everyone can understand.

I may be envious, but...

It's still very sour.

Who told Linda to be the most likely to become a "hero"?

Even Leng Yuegong publicly admitted that he lost to Lin Da in a private sparring match.

This Eye of Truth is the strongest adventurer on the Secret Realm Continent.

Another month has passed, and winter is here.

The Elf Forest and the Far North Plain meet.

The latter is ruled by the Orc Kingdom.

The commander sent by the opposing side was the wolf queen of the Frostwolf tribe, who was also the only female wolf queen in history, named "Lulu".

Everyone thought that the two sides would have a conflict over command, but to everyone's surprise, Wolf King Lulu agreed to let the Eye of Truth take charge of the overall situation.

The two discussed various details at the negotiating table.

The final decision was made to launch a surprise attack on the capital in the dead of night three days later.

That night, adventurers witnessed the Frostwolf Clan's wolf king entering their command camp and not returning all night.

I have no idea what happened that day.

...

Three days later.

The army of adventurers rushed to the capital and launched a surprise attack on time.

The head of the Heavenly Kings, Tina, the "angel" who was the Demon King's agent, was not stationed in the capital.

The other party disappeared without a trace over the past ten years.

Some suspect she returned to the Demon King's castle and has not been seen since.

Thanks to the absence of the most troublesome demon king, the surprise attack was a complete success.

Linda and Evelyn took the lead, broke through the south gate, and killed four legendary demons.

...

At dawn.

The imperial banners, with swords and shields crossed, were raised anew on the city walls.

The citizens of the capital emerged from their houses, staring dumbfounded at the sword and shield banner fluttering in the wind.

Some people wept with joy, shouting the name of the Eye of Truth.

"Lady Linda, please draw the sword of the hero and liberate this continent!"

"A hero! Lady Linda is definitely a hero!"

"Lord Linda will prevail! Lord Lengyue will prevail! The Secret Realm Continent will prevail!"

The capital has been ruled by the demons for ten years, and the citizens have endured countless oppressions, leaving everyone with a lifeless expression.

But today, they feel the "chains" on their hands and feet have come off, and the boulder pressing on their chests has disappeared.

The rising sun in the east is dazzlingly bright.

Bathed in sunlight, I felt completely revitalized.

Linda and her group walked from the main road toward the sacred tree.

Both sides of the road were lined with people welcoming them.

The cheers were like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing.

The citizens looked pale and thin, their eyes filled with tears.

Looking at them, Linda's heart felt like it was wound up, and her clenched fists seemed to want to crush the Demon King into pieces.

During the ten years of war, countless people died because of the atrocities committed by the demons.

The number of people on the mainland has decreased by 70%.

Even if the war is won, post-disaster reconstruction will be a huge challenge.

For example, Cangqing Province originally had more than 200 cities, but now that the mainland population is sparse, nearly half of them have become ghost towns.

During the war, Linda also lost many of her friends.

He heard all of these things from Leah.

—Robit was attacked by demons during a field mission.

The valiant adventure team perished.

Gale of the White Dove Adventurers died on the 43rd floor of the World Tree.

It was crushed to death on the spot by the rock dragon turtle, its body a bloody mess.

President Vilen passed away last year due to illness.

Official Mevent, who was in charge of military finances, died three years ago from overwork.

Among the belongings was a diary in which she wrote that her biggest regret in life was suppressing the Phoenix Flower Adventure Team for the sake of political achievements during her tenure in White Dove City.

In addition, there's Echo's brother, Bervis, and Fry from Red Heart City.

They all sacrificed themselves.

"I will end this war with my own hands and avenge you."

Linda made a vow in her heart.

The Phoenix Flower Adventure Team should now be called the Phoenix Flower Adventure Group. They entered the Sacred Tree and arrived at the fiftieth floor.

There are no monsters here.

On the grassland where birds sing and flowers bloom, there is a three-tiered stone platform.

In the center of the stone platform, a long sword was stuck.

The blade is a cold white, the hilt is gold with an oval red gemstone inlaid in the center, and the guard is shaped like blue wings, symbolizing freedom and hope.

The hero's sword sat quietly in the stone platform, surrounded by a barrier formed by dense magical runes.

An immense and terrifying magical power was released from the sword.

Even though Linda possesses the Chaos Seven-Star Demon Sword Philo, it still feels slightly inferior to the Hero's Sword.
