I came into this world with destiny on my back.
That dark soul foreshadows my fate. As a follower of darkness, the body I was reincarnated into is so fragile and ordinary that the power and knowledge I possessed in my previous life are completely unable to be utilized.
But now, I have found my strength again.
That is the true power that belongs to me, which is honored as the "Black Beast".
In this imaginary world, my power awakened...
The followers of darkness are the messengers of death and the guides of souls. Because of this, it is my responsibility to guide those lost souls and let them return to their resting place.
This is my destiny...
“Huff, huff, huff, huff…”
"…Black Cat?"
Looking at the black cat in front of him, who was wearing a dark gothic lolita outfit and exuding a sinister laugh, Fang Zheng secretly wiped a cold sweat. After hearing Fang Zheng's voice, the black cat came back to her senses. She looked at Fang Zheng, then lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng.
"You are here, my king."
“Ah… um…”
Hearing Black Cat's greeting, Fang Zheng nodded with a complicated expression. I don't know when Black Cat started to give herself the identity of "Emperor of Darkness" to match her own setting of "Follower of Darkness". It seems that in Black Cat's imagination, she is the king from the dark world, the supreme emperor who rules over all dark things.
And she was just a weak and inconspicuous black beast curled up in the shadow corner of the throne...
To be honest, Fang Zheng didn't know whether Black Cat's second-year attitude was arrogance or inferiority...
But then again, what the hell is the Dark Emperor? Are you afraid that I don't have enough villain soul stones? I... Fang·Paladin·Time Dragon·White Tower Mage·Swarm Master·Red World King·Magician·Zheng has so many titles, can't you give me a good one?
If I go back and draw the villain's soul stone again this time, it will be your fault!
Even Gabriel would say to himself, "Treat me well, and I will send you to heaven later"...
Well, this doesn't seem to be any better.
Fang Zheng was speechless at how unreliable these girls under his command were.
"So, where are we going today?"
"Everything is guided by fate!"
In response to Fang Zheng's question, Black Cat suddenly raised his right hand and pointed at the clock tower outside the town.
"My king, the sad soul is waiting for your salvation. We will go to the clock tower of the soul and complete the ritual of destiny there!"
This means that this time I'm going to the clock tower outside the town with Black Cat, right?
Fang Zheng automatically translated Black Cat's words in his mind. It was all the same anyway. The so-called online game missions, no matter how touching the missions themselves were, could not escape the cycle of "where to go", "who to kill", and "how many to kill". This was why online games were declining.
Just like the mission of love and family, although it is indeed very touching... well, before it is touching, I almost vomited from killing so many maggots.
Whether it is touching or not, it doesn’t really matter.
Compared to Asuna's mission, Black Cat's mission was obviously not that easy. In fact, when Fang Zheng pushed open the door of the clock tower, he saw several monsters like undead wailing out of the darkness. They stretched out their sharp claws, holding cold weapons in their hands, and stared at the two people in front of them with greedy eyes.
If it were Asuna, this scene would be enough to make her scream and tremble, but for Black Cat, the appearance of these monsters made her even more excited!
“Come on! The dead!!”
The black cat suddenly raised his right hand and looked at the monster in front of him with a provocative smile.
"You are so brave to stand in front of my king. Since you are determined to use your souls as obstacles to my king's progress, then I will let you see what the real power of the dark night is! My king, show your power and let these undead souls submit to the wings of our dark clan again!!"
What else can Fang Zheng say about this?
I had no choice but to chop it off.
A group of monster NPCs were no match for Fang Zheng. Although Black Cat was unable to fight due to her skills being sealed, she still consciously followed behind Fang Zheng and cheered him on.
It's just the lines that Black Cat waved the flag and shouted...
Well, I can only say that it’s a good thing that she came out with Fang Zheng, otherwise she might not feel shy, but others would be ashamed to death after hearing it.
"call……"
He climbed to the top of the lighthouse as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and stood in front of the window overlooking the scenery below. The black cat snorted with satisfaction.
“Humph… A mere group of undeads actually dare to act so rampant in front of the Dark Clan. Tremble, shudder, and scream! This is the power of our king! This is the power of the Dark Emperor! Oh hehehe…!”
“…”
Looking at the black cat standing in front of the window and laughing loudly, Fang Zheng silently covered his face.
To be honest, he really began to worry whether Black Cat would be able to integrate into normal society after leaving this world.
"…Black Cat."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng looked at the black cat with interest.
"What is it, my king?"
"If... there really were angels and demons fighting in your city, would you be interested?"
“Woo…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Black Cat frowned in distress.
"We, the Dark Clan, are sworn enemies of the Holy Angels. If my king needs my strength, I will die and go through fire and water without hesitation! Even if my body is destroyed, I will still serve you as a follower of darkness, the black cat, after my reincarnation!"
“…”
That’s not what I meant…
Looking at the black cat in front of him, Fang Zheng sighed silently. He realized that the second-year syndrome was really a headache. The conversation was completely out of sync.
However... after I finish this game and return to the real world, should I take Black Cat to Tiandao Palace? Since the little girl likes this kind of thing so much, it seems like a good idea to let her go and have a look. Of course, Fang Zheng was also quite curious about what Black Cat's reaction would be at that time.
After all, I have read the story of Ye Gonghaolong many times in elementary school textbooks, but I have never seen the live-action version.
"Black Cat, let's do this."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng's eyes lit up.
"After you finish the game and return to the real world, I will invite you to my home. I think you will be satisfied then."
"The capital of the Dark Clan?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's suggestion, Black Cat also showed an excited expression.
"I never thought that I would be able to return to the royal city one day... I will obey your orders, my king. Until then, I will definitely be by your side!"
...You can say whatever you like.
Looking at the black cat's excitement, Fang Zheng sighed silently again and then returned to the topic.
"So, how's it going? Mission accomplished?"
"The sad soul has been liberated."
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Black Cat nodded. Then she put her hands behind her back and hopped a few steps as lightly as a cat. She walked in front of Fang Zheng and looked up at him.
"All this glory belongs to you, my king. Your power protected her soul and made her wish come true, and this..."
Just as Fang Zheng was waiting for Black Cat to say something next, a black shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes. The next moment, Fang Zheng felt Black Cat's soft lips touching his cheek, and then separated immediately.
"…This is a thank-you gift from the sad soul of the dead. Please accept it."
When Fang Zheng came to his senses, Black Cat quickly took a few steps back. She said this with a flushed face, then quickly turned around and walked down the stairs quickly.
“…”
Looking at the black cat's receding back, Fang Zheng reached out and touched his cheek, then shook his head.
He really can't keep up with the pace of the second year...
