"Servia, my child, you will be a credit to Crawfield!"

Sylvia worked hard.

Always.

They all work very, very hard.

Growing up, her father regarded her as the pride of the family and taught her to protect the people of the territory.

Sylvia responded to that expectation and worked hard. With the support of her family, she became the brightest emerald and even received a reward from the king.

The crowning of honor.

Family support.

The worship of the subjects.

Sylvia still can't forget that wonderful past.

Until the disaster struck, her life was shattered in an instant and turned into a strange appearance that the girl did not recognize.

"Kill you... Kill you... Protect... Sevilla"

Both parents turned into ghosts.

The last hoarse sound before birth.

Sylvia tried very hard not to cry, but she couldn't cry. She once again tightly grasped the familiar sword and freed her parents.

I buried my parents' remains alone and explored the world a thousand years later alone.

Wandering alone, being strong alone.

Sylvia worked really hard.

Knowing that people are afraid of their appearance, he put on armor to cover his face and silently protect people's safety.

Even though Cloverfield no longer exists, he still abides by the knight's oath and maintains the honor of the Cloverfield family.

She didn't want to disappoint her parents.

I don’t want to disappoint myself when I was a child and cried out loudly for stories about heroes.

But, I am really tired...

The dirt fell, the air was filled with a fishy smell, and grass leaves were scattered on the torn armor.

Sylvia lost the ability to stand up again. Facing the next attack from the Headless Knight, she could only lie quietly in the pit and wait for death.

She is too tired.

Too tired to keep trying.

Too tired to walk alone.

The hero Sylvia is just a coward who is afraid of loneliness and constantly uses actions to numb herself...

"Father, Mother."

"I can't be a hero after all..."

call!

The sharp gun tip attacked from above.

The Headless Knight launched his final attack, preparing to blow the girl's head off with his bone spear. There was a chilling sound and a faint flash of light; it was a blow that could not be avoided.

Sylvia lost all her strength and could not move at all.

Looking at the gun blade.

Some thoughts popped up in her mind: did the villagers leave in time? Would her parents blame her? Would the wizard remember her?

So tired.

I want to sleep.

I don't want to be alone anymore.

"Boom!!!"

A deafening explosion sounded.

With Sylvia at its center, dust rose into the sky, followed by a fierce hurricane.

The pale skeleton was thrown into the sky.

Before it hit the ground, it turned into pure powder and dissipated in the wind.

Then, there were the sounds of footsteps, and someone approached Sylvia with steady steps, and stretched out his hand to Sylvia.

Hold her hand tightly and take it.

"I think I'm late, Sylvia."

The familiar voice reached the girl's ears. It was just an ordinary greeting, but also contained a hint of apology.

ah…

It's not an illusion.

Don't you want to die alone?

The half of Sylvia's face that was still human, her eyes trembled and sparkled, and finally turned into the bright emerald that Xu Xi was familiar with.

Even though it was an incomplete face, Xu Xi could still see its brilliance.

"That's not the case, Master Wizard."

"Thank you for saving me again."

…

[You have been promoted to a second-ring wizard, and your speed is far beyond what it was before]

[You ride the Raven and return to Krawfield as quickly as possible. You are deeply worried that Severia's fighting power is not enough to deal with the wave of undead.]

[Twenty days later, you successfully returned to the Crawfield Territory]

【Your worries have come true】

[Under the influence of the Dark Tide, even the remote Kraufield has seen a surge of tens of thousands of undead, and the emergence of high-ranking undead such as the Headless Knight]

[For Sylvia Crawfield, such an opponent is undoubtedly a strong one]

[Her power is limited]

【And the training time is short】

[Not capable of resisting the tide of the undead]

[When the girl was about to die, you arrived in time and saved the brave man who was fighting alone]

[You decided to take action to resolve this wave of undead, both to harvest the soul fire and to help the weak Severia]

"Severia, go and get some rest."

"...No, Master Wizard, I can still fight."

"Really?"

"...Please believe me, Master Wizard."

Xu Xi wanted to clean up the undead by himself.

But the girl didn't want to do that.

She picked up the sword again, saying she wanted to fight together with the Xu family.

Xu Xi was unmoved by the persuasion and could only agree to let Sylvia clean up the weaker skeleton soldiers.

Very subtle.

She had been fighting for a long time and should have been too tired to fight anymore, but after Xu Xi arrived, the girl once again burst out with the will to fight.

"Then it's up to me to decide what to do next."

Xu Xi is looking far into the distance.

A large number of undead spirits shuttled through the forest, and their seemingly slow steps crushed the hopes of the living.

The explosion was loud and powerful.

In the sky behind, there was a black sun hanging high, further highlighting the atmosphere of despair.

"With this number, if it were a first-ring wizard, I would have no choice but to retreat strategically with Sylvia."

"But now it's different."

On the damp and rotten ground, Xu Xi calmly watched the attacking undead. In his hand appeared a thick book which he flipped through quickly. Inside the book were rituals prepared in advance.

Second Ring Witchcraft: Resurrection of the Dead.

Second Ring Witchcraft: Corpse Explosion.

A miracle happened.

Scattered on the ground, densely packed with undead bones, they were being reorganized by an invisible force.

First the first skeleton was formed, followed by the second, the third, and finally a hundred of them crashed into the dark tide.

Bang!

Naturally, a mere hundred skeletons cannot shake the tide of tens of thousands of dead.

But when these skeletons explode, the course of the battle is instantly changed.

"The explosion of corpses is not very powerful, but most of these undead are just ordinary individuals, which is just a good match for our professional team."

Xu Xi nodded slightly.

I am quite satisfied with the violent fluctuations before my eyes.

As the wizarding world becomes more eroded, the power of the undead will generally increase, and by then, corpse explosions will not be so useful.

But correspondingly.

At that time, the Xu system will also have newer and more powerful witchcraft.

…

[Your hard work in cultivation has paid off at this moment. After you joined, the wave of undead that attacked the territory of Loffel was quickly contained.]

[You have gained a lot. Not only have you received the gratitude of many souls, but you also have a large amount of soul fire.]

[Servia is surprised at your strength]

[The once-in-a-decade wave of the undead should have destroyed everything in the Krawfield territory, but with your help, this land successfully survived the disaster]

[A few days later, you dealt with the last wave of undead]

【Servia thanks you】

[Severia looked at the empty territory and fell into a long trance]

[After experiencing the onslaught of the undead wave, the territory is devastated, and the villagers living here have lost their fragile sense of security.]

[They no longer believed that the hero could protect everyone, and chose to flee to a town with a more robust defense system]
