She brought peace to the mainland in her own way; her "brutal attacks," while tearing apart the enemy, precisely narrowed the scope, targeting only the enemy, bringing a miraculous turnaround to the border that was almost lost.
"Even self-preservation, which is considered selfish by others, is not a useless magic on the battlefield."
Mr. Ye seemed to be reminiscing about the past, his expression both proud and gentle.
"Back then, I was just a greenhorn. Before dark magic became a scarce resource, there were many dark mages in the team, especially my captain, who was the chief of the first regiment and also a dark mage."
"He led all the dark mages, using self-protection magic to generate shields, using his own body as the shield for the team."
All the dark mages, acting as the vanguard defense force, constructed the longest shield, overpowering the enemy and leading us in a counterattack.
Mr. Ye almost lit a cigarette out of habit, but remembering his daughter was beside him, he suppressed the urge by drinking water and recalled:
"That was the hardest battle I fought. The number of monsters suddenly increased, logistical resources couldn't keep up, and the number of wounded kept increasing."
We prayed for the gods to descend, but unfortunately, the gods did not come for us.
It was the decisive action of all the chiefs, willing to sacrifice themselves to defend the border, and the transformation of all the dark mages into a shield, that led us in a desperate resistance. Just when we were about to fall, reinforcements arrived, and we successfully turned the tide.
Only then did Ye's father realize that he had talked a bit too much, and he coughed awkwardly.
He quickly regained his serious expression and solemnly said:
“Xin Xin, dark magic is never scary, never selfish. The most important thing is what you should do.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinchu couldn't help but clench her fingers tightly.
She had always known that things were difficult on the front lines, but she hadn't imagined it would be this arduous and challenging. She immediately looked up and said earnestly:
"Then I want to become a soldier, to contribute to my country and my family, and to protect everyone!"
Father Ye shook his head, “Xin Xin, I’m telling you this not to tell you that dark magic can only be truly used in war.”
"I just want to tell you that your talent is never scary. What matters is how you use it. Your talent isn't only demonstrated in battle."
"Instead, when you're proud of your talent, you've already won. Look around you, figure out what you should be doing, what you should be—"
"What kind of dark magician will I become?"
Later, in order to understand the significance of her talent, Ye Xinchu resolutely chose to leave her hometown and embark on a journey.
Before leaving, Ye Xinchu left behind a communication device so she could chat with You Ning every day.
You Ning watched her older sister help others every day, research and improve her magic, punish evildoers, and do her best to eliminate the maggots hiding in peace.
Ye Xinchu said to You Ning, "I want to prove that dark magic can be used on more than just the battlefield!"
The goddess of darkness proved that dark magic could repel the enemy.
Warriors proved that dark magic protected their homeland.
Ye Xinchu proved that dark magic could sweep away the injustices she saw.
Jiang Li accompanies Ye Xinchu in her search for meaning, because she only wants to stay by her silly friend's side.
Yi Xing grew stronger and stronger, and was praised as a rare genius.
Only You Ning didn't know what to do.
Her talent was like a fleeting moment, only briefly blossoming when she saved Yixing.
Now, her talent has vanished, and she has become that useless person again.
She tried to learn magic in a self-deceptive way, but couldn't even use basic spells.
Her classmates laughed at her, saying she was just daydreaming and was only doing useless work, and that she should just go home and daydream.
Although Yixing would drive away those who laughed at her.
But she seems to be trapped in a cycle of low self-esteem.
Having barely managed to escape the shadows of childhood, before they could even climb out, they were once again pushed into a terrible, dark swamp by an invisible external force.
Not only that.
Since she woke up, her facial muscles have become cold and stiff, unable to express much emotion, and even her emotions have been gradually fading away.
She could only anxiously watch what her sister did every day.
She was afraid that one day she would forget her sister.
Until the older sister brought a little girl home.
She started to get scared.
Because she was starting to lose a little bit of her emotional connection, she was more afraid that her sister would only like that little girl in the future and no longer like her, than she had once believed in her sister.
But she didn't dare to make a sound and disturb her sister.
You Ning could only watch as her older sister accepted the other woman as her apprentice and even gave her a name, Ye Qi.
