Origin Legend: Heroic Hymn

"Do not!!!"

Dong Yu was startled awake and jumped up. Wasn't he in the carriage? Was he dreaming? Where was Alice?

Dong Yu looked around but didn't see Alice. Dong Yu panicked and immediately ran out of the car, just as Maflane ran over.

"What's wrong, boss?"

Dong Yu looked around and found that he was in a village, and there was no sign of Alice around. He quickly looked at Ryan.

"Where's Alice?"

"You mean that girl?"

"Yeah! Where is she?"

"Her! When we got here, she went to the forest. She even asked me not to call you. Look how much she cares about you."

"What!!! She was walking that way? How long has she been walking there?"

Dong Yu grabbed Ryan's shoulders and roared. Ryan felt a little scared when he saw his bloodthirsty eyes.

"She walked that way. She's been walking that way for about half an hour."

Dong Yu let go of Ryan, turned into a shadow and disappeared in the direction Ryan pointed. The speed he displayed at this time was not just that of an F-level mercenary, but that of a C-level mercenary.

Yes, how could the brother of an A-level Berserker only have the strength of an F-level? He had already made a breakthrough a long time ago, but he seldom went to the guild to take on missions so no one knew about it.

He showed his true strength at this critical moment. This was also the reason why he let Alice continue the mission but not let her act alone after knowing the danger, because he was confident in his own strength.

"Alice, please don't be in any trouble!"

Dong Yu’s mind kept appearing Alice’s lifeless eyes and charming smile in his dream.

Dong Yu saw a suit of armor next to the tree in front of him. He immediately ran over and found two corpses, bloody skeletons covered in armor. These should be the companions of the tiger man!

Fortunately, it wasn’t Alice, just when Dong Yu was breathing a sigh of relief.

Keng——

"what--"

Dong Yu's pupils shrank. This is! Alice's voice!!! Dong Yu rushed over without thinking.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

After Alice entered the forest, she looked for traces of the missing persons. When she saw the two bodies in armor, she knew that the missing persons were in great danger.

But she still wanted to look for it in the hope of getting lucky, but she didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes watching her, nor did she feel that danger was approaching her.

rustle--

There was a slight sound coming from the bushes behind her. Alice turned around and held the black iron gun tightly in her hand.

Exclusive Divine Favor (an ability bestowed by the gods on certain lucky people): Enhanced gift, strengthening the contacted material to a certain extent.

Open without hesitation!

This is the law of the jungle: stay alert at all times.

"who!"

Alice shouted towards the bushes, and the sound disappeared in the bushes. Alice was still looking there vigilantly.

After a stalemate, the 'thing' in the bushes seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. A black shadow jumped out from it, and Alice reflexively blocked the black iron gun in front of her.

Keng——

"what--"

Alice was thrown into the air, and a sharp pain came from her arm. Alice hit the tree hard. Fortunately, the hardening had just been activated, otherwise she would have been injured.

Alice was shocked. What a strong power! Looking at her hands that were shaking slightly due to pain, aren't there only second-level monsters here?

Alice looked at the black shadow. It was a bear-shaped monster that was five meters tall when standing. Its majestic body was like a wall blocking Alice.

"This this……"

This demon bear was two heads taller than the third-level demon bear Alice had seen before. The demon bear did not give Alice time to think and rushed over again.

Alice woke up immediately, and once again blocked the black iron spear in front of her, and hardened it to the limit, but the demon bear still slapped her with one palm.

boom--

Alice clearly felt that the power of the magic bear was a level higher than before. The base of Alice's thumb was directly cracked, and four shallow marks were left on the black iron spear.

The black iron spear that she had hardened with all her strength could withstand the attacks of ordinary third-level monsters without leaving any traces. Alice spat out a mouthful of blood in the air, and without thinking, she used the force of being knocked away to escape into the distance.

The demon bear didn't expect that it could still run away after taking two attacks from him. It became a little manic and immediately chased after it.

Alice knew that with her current physical condition, it wouldn't be long before the bear caught up, so she made up her mind not to let the bear have an easy time, even if it meant death.

She stopped and suddenly turned around and stabbed the demon bear with her spear. The demon bear was frightened by the sudden fatal blow and subconsciously slapped the spear with all its strength, and the black iron spear was directly knocked away.

Looking at the devil bear that looked like the god of death, Alice did not feel the slightest fear in her heart. She slowly closed her eyes.

"Goodbye, Mom and Dad, goodbye...Xiaoyu!"

"It's too early to say goodbye now."

Alice suddenly felt a big hand hugging her and she felt like she was floating in the air. She opened her eyes and saw a feminine face, but this face made her feel extremely at ease.

"Light rain!"

Alice screamed, yes, it was Dong Yu. They fell to the side, and Dong Yu put Alice on the ground. There was some anger on his face, but there was crystal liquid flowing in his eyes.

"Didn't I tell you not to act alone? Why didn't you listen?!"

"I...I...thought that I could..."

"What's okay? You almost died!!! Did you know that!!!"

"I...I...Oh, by the way, run away and leave me alone! This bear is at least level 4!!!"

"Humph! I'll settle the score with you later. I'll kill this bear that dared to hurt you first!"

"What did you say? Go away!"

"Shut up! Get out of the way!"

Alice stared at the man in front of her in a daze, and felt that his aura was somewhat familiar, but reassuring.

Dong Yu pulled out the dagger from his waist and looked coldly at the Demon Bear. The Demon Bear felt a palpitation when being stared at by this man, and his limbs became sluggish and his speed also slowed down.

Dong Yu’s exclusive divine favor: Smile of the Grim Reaper (weakens the opponent’s senses in all aspects, reduces speed, and increases range of attack, which increases with Dong Yu’s level).

Roar--

The demon bear roared, trying to dispel the feeling.

Can I? No!

The demon bear suddenly felt that the winter rain in front of him turned into two, attacking him separately.

This is the effect of the assassin skill "Shadow". It creates two selves. What about the other one?

The answer was soon revealed. A stream of blood suddenly spurted out from the left eye of the magic bear, and the Dong Yu on the ground turned into three. The dagger of one of them was still dripping with the blood of the magic bear.

Yes, the two Dong Yu that the magic bear saw were illusions, while Dong Yu's real body was invisible and launched a sneak attack, which is a chain technique commonly used by assassins.

Originally, the magic bear could sense it by its sense of smell, but it was weakened by Dong Yu's exclusive skill 'Smile of Death' and could only sense the approximate direction. In addition, due to the influence of the two illusions, Dong Yu's sneak attack succeeded.

Roar--

The demon bear was furious. Its remaining eye had turned blood red, and there were traces of red air on its body.

"Bloodthirsty!!! Oh no! Alice, run! This is the Demonic Bear Vanguard, a fifth-level monster!"

boom--

It's too late!

Exploding Bear Rage! The Demonic Bear Vanguard's exclusive ability!

The Demon Bear Vanguard raised his two bear paws high and slammed the ground hard. With the Demon Bear Vanguard as the center, a shock wave expanded rapidly outward.

Dong Yu dodged and hugged Alice, wanting to escape from this range, but he was still one step short and was affected by the aftermath. Dong Yu's face turned pale and he threw Alice out.

"Run! I'll hold it back!"

But Alice was completely stunned, staring blankly at Dong Yu who was rushing towards the magic bear vanguard.

"why why……"

Dong Yu had turned into a shadow again, and every time he attacked, he could always leave a mark on the Demon Bear Vanguard. However, because the Demon Bear Vanguard's defense ability was too strong,

Dong Yu, who possessed the strength of a C-level mercenary, could only inflict minor injuries on it but could not inflict fatal injuries. Perhaps because of the lesson just now, the Demon Bear Vanguard focused on defending its own vital points and did not give Dong Yu any chance, but was still dragged down by Dong Yu.

This made the Demon Bear Vanguard very annoyed. At this time, it saw Alice sitting there, and Dong Yu of course saw it too.

"Alice! Run!"

boom--

Another explosive bear attack shook Dong Yu away and rushed straight towards Alice. Alice saw a bear paw that was constantly getting bigger in front of her.

Just when she was about to be hit, her sight was blocked by a dark shadow. The huge bear paw hit the thin body, but the body was like cast steel and did not move at all.

puff--

A hot stream sprayed on Alice's face. Alice looked at the feminine face and tears kept flowing down.

"Why?"

"Because... you... are my... important... person... ah, silly... don't cry, ah!!! How can this bear... compare to my sister! Haha! Come on!"

Dong Yu roared, forcibly propped up the Demon Bear Vanguard's bear paw and stood up again. He got ready to face the Demon Bear Vanguard, and when he said the last sentence, a sadistic smile appeared on his face.

At this critical moment, a white light flashed, and where the Demon Bear Vanguard had just been, only floating ashes and a fallen crystal stone emitting purple light remained.

The white light gradually dimmed, and turned into a figure that quickly rushed towards Dong Yu...
