Chapter 227 Endgame

No matter how magnificent a story is, it will eventually come to an end. No matter how surprising the dangers in the dark are, in the eyes of ordinary people they are nothing more than a thing of the past.

They did not have much time to indulge in sadness. Although the evil god had fallen, the disaster he brought to the continent of Isaiah had not yet ended.

The gap connecting to the abyss did not disappear with the fall of the gods. Instead, it was completely out of control and was fully revealed overnight.

Pitch-black holes of varying sizes hung in the air, occasionally spitting out one or two monsters.

Fortunately, the monsters that were thrown out were not very powerful, and they were not difficult opponents for the humans who were well prepared.

What was truly unacceptable was not the monsters before their eyes, but the pitch-black gap hanging high in the air that showed no signs of disappearing.

No one knows when this gap will disappear, or whether it can disappear at all. Even the Vatican cannot give a clear answer.

Nothing can be said for sure yet.

The only thing they can do now is to protect their homes before the gap disappears completely.

This war against monsters takes place in every city-state where a gap appears. There are always soldiers and wizards guarding the gap, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the monsters that suddenly appear at any time.

These imperial city-states also include the New Victorious Empire.

What's worse is that the number of gaps in the New Victory Empire far exceeds that of other empires of similar size. These horrific gaps are spread across the city-states and suburbs within the New Victory territory, and almost no city-state has escaped.

At first, when the gaps only spewed out one or two monsters, the New Victory Empire was still able to cope with it. But one day, a small wave of monsters suddenly broke out and hit the New Victory Empire hard. Since then, small waves of monsters have appeared from time to time in areas with many gaps.

However, the newly victorious empire, which had abundant military forces, faced for the first time the dilemma of a shortage of troops.

The consequence of the shortage of troops is the coordination of manpower, and the forces of all parties are surging.

For Lu Yi, the most direct feeling was that Duke Klein, who had not been on the battlefield for a long time, was also assigned a mission. Not only Duke Klein, but other honorary nobles in the New Victory Empire who had not fought for a long time were also assigned more or less missions.

Although compared to those major general knights who were truly active in the front line of the War of Resistance, the few troop-leading missions of Duke Klein and others seemed quite easy. Rather than helping in the war of resistance, it seemed more like they were sent out to show their presence and demonstrate the strong financial resources and strength of the New Victory Empire.

But why should we go out of our way to demonstrate the power of the empire?

Lu Yi was keenly aware of the slight sense of instability in the air, but neither Duke Klein nor Astor were obviously willing to talk to him too much about it. He could only suppress his doubts and be a tool to clear monsters.

——Yes, a tool for clearing monsters. Although Duke Klein was unwilling to answer Lu Yi's questions, he was ruthless in calling Lu Yi to his place.

Whenever there is a battle in which Duke Klein is present, his son Luyi Klein will always be there.

After several battles, everyone knew that Duke Klein valued his youngest son Lu Yi very much.

It is not the doting and loving that he showed to his youngest son in the past, but recognition and respect.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see how satisfied and proud Duke Klein looked at Lu Yi Klein.

This seemed like a silent signal, a signal concerning the inheritance of a huge family's wealth.

Aristocratic anecdotes have always been the most popular topic among the bored masses. Earlier, when Lu Yi Klein had just begun to emerge, some people predicted that the future successor of the Klein family might not be so certain. The current situation directly makes this speculation seem more credible.

At the same time, along with the "heir conjecture", Luy Klein's title of "Son of Victory" also became popular across the Isaiah continent.

I don’t know which battle it started from, but suddenly some people called Lu Yi Klein the “Son of Victory”.

The blond, blue-eyed Lu Yi Klein possessed exceptionally powerful strength, even far surpassing his father, Duke Klein, who was once known as the "Undefeated Marshal". The talent that was enough to trigger miracles and visions finally materialized at this moment, and the world could vaguely see how terrifying that talent was.

It was the astonishing fact that he could single-handedly resist hundreds of monsters, the ease with which the seven elements operated freely, and the ease with which he could cast difficult spells. All the things that were considered absolutely impossible in the past became possible for him.

Under the scorching sun, with countless monsters in front of him, his sharp gaze was so thrilling that it made people dizzy.

But no one dared to look down on him because of his good looks.

Because his fingertips were white, the stinking blood and lives of thousands of monsters were flowing under his hands.

In less than two months, Lu Yi Klein had either led or participated in nearly twenty battles of varying sizes within the New Victory Empire.

And there was not a single defeat in these more than twenty battles.

People no longer referred to him as "Young Master Klein", but instead as "Mr. Lu Yi".

Lu Yi Klein is no longer just Klein, but Lu Yi.

He is a respectable person who rushes to the front line of the monster tide.

His Excellency Lu Yi.

…

When Lu Yi returned to Klein Manor from the border of the New Victory Empire, it was dawn.

As summer approaches, the daybreaks come earlier and faster, and it is bright sky in a short while.

Lu Yi slowly and gently pushed open the door of the main house.

The corners of his clothes were soaked by the dew that had accumulated day and night, but the owner of the robe didn't care. He just held his breath and walked into the house.

Who would have thought that when I looked up, I would be met face to face with another pair of similar blue eyes.

Lu Yi blinked and said, "Brother, you got up really early."

Astor seemed somewhat surprised, and his pace quickened unconsciously.

"Lu Yi, why did you rush back today? I thought you would come back in two days."

"There's nothing to do over there for the time being, so I just came back." Lu Yi replied.

Astor disagreed, "If I remember correctly, you just repelled a wave of monsters yesterday. Why didn't you take a good rest? It won't be too late to set off during the day."

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "Because I miss home. I miss my father, my mother, and my second brother. Can't I go home tonight?"

Aster was speechless and said reluctantly: "...Then you should go and have a good rest now, do you hear me?"

"I heard you, your Excellency." Lu Yi said, with a friendly smile in his eyes.

Astor was not good at dealing with such a sticky love scene, so he coughed lightly and said, "Okay, go quickly..."

"By the way." Astor turned back suddenly, "I haven't congratulated you on your improved strength yet."

Lu Yi grinned at him.

The battlefield was the best place to train his magic power. Fighting against alien monsters allowed him to not have to worry about anything and did not need to suppress his true strength.

Under such high-intensity training, it would be strange if Lu Yi's level, which had already been compressed to the extreme, did not skyrocket.

In just less than two months, he had skyrocketed from the peak of the second level to the peak of the third level, and was even only a step away from the fourth level.

After the advancement, almost every friend who saw Lu Yi again was shocked.

It's really that Lu Yi's advancement speed is too terrifying.

A third-level peak mage in his early twenties!

This was simply an unheard of Arabian Nights fairy tale. Throughout the history of the human race on the Isaiah continent, there had never been a third-level mage in his twenties. Even if it was told as a story or legend, the listeners would sneer at it.

But such an incredible thing actually happened to Lu Yi.

"Have you ever thought about graduating from Braceside early?" Astor asked before leaving.

The standard for graduation from Bleside is to become a third-level magician, a condition that gave many Bleside prospective graduates a headache, but Lu Yi achieved it ahead of schedule in just one academic year.

What is certain is that if Lu Yi wanted to graduate early, he would definitely become the youngest graduate in the history of Braeside School.

Lu Yi was stunned, thought for a moment and said: "I don't have this idea yet."

Astor nodded thoughtfully and said no more.

Although Lu Yi gave the answer without much hesitation when Astor asked, the question still caused Lu Yi to think a little afterwards.

He had never thought about graduating early in the past. Even after he advanced to become a third-level wizard, he did not realize that he had already met the requirements for graduation from Braceside.

If Aster hadn't mentioned it this time, Lu Yi would never have thought of graduating early.

During this period of time, he has been fighting on the front line of the monster invasion. He is either killing monsters or on his way to kill monsters all day long. He didn't even realize that the new school year was about to start in Braceside until Canaan specifically reminded him through a communication.

A vacation of more than two months may not sound short at first, but it is over in the blink of an eye.

In the past two months, Lu Yi, who had experienced the shutdown of the Rand vest and was busy fighting against monsters, felt as if he was in another world.

When he received Canaan's reminder call, he was a little slow to react.

——Yes, he is still a student at Bryside.

Even though he had experienced death together with the Dark God and then had a fierce battle with the monster tide, he still had to pack up his things and report to Braceside three days later to start his second year life in Braceside on time.

This is also the reason why Lu Yi rushed back to Klein Manor overnight.

Lu Yi really didn't want to return to Braceside to go to school as soon as he left the battlefield. Even if the vacation was over, he wanted to go home and enjoy these last three days.

Strictly speaking, it was the last two and a half days.

Lu Yi returned to Klein Manor and slept until sunset, which was originally intended to be a short rest.

In the quiet room, Lu Yi was half lying on the bed with a heavy face, glancing sideways at the large and gorgeous sunset clouds outside the window, feeling hopeless.

His vacation!
