Origin Legend: Heroic Hymn

Ling Feng launched an explosive slash, killing a hound beast, and stuck the tip of the sword downward into the ground, gasping for breath on the side.

"I'm almost at my limit! We're destroying the monsters too slowly!"

Alice waved the spear in her hand and breathed heavily.

"I am so exhausted after fighting one after another, and I have to run around wearing armor. It would be great if Xiaoyu was here!"

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being so weak."

"Ling Feng, this is not your fault. After all, you have only been in the guild for less than half a year."

A blackened ant approached Ling Feng and attacked him. He chopped off the foot blades evolved from its front legs. Ling Feng dodged and raised his two-handed sword to block, dissipating the force in other directions.

After taking advantage of the momentum to spin his body, he swung his two-handed sword heavily on the blackened ant, cutting it into two pieces.

This is the fighting skill that the magic swordsman Anna taught her. After today's actual combat, he has become quite familiar with it.

"Alice, Wu Ke La. I have a magic that may help us escape. But the monster is too close to us now, and casting magic will inevitably affect us! Although this magic has little killing power, it will be very uncomfortable if you are hit by it!"

Alice gritted her teeth and retreated closer to Ling Feng while resisting the monster. Wu Ke La did the same.

"There's nothing we can do anyway, just go ahead and try!"

"That's right! Ling Feng, we are both high-level defensive mercenaries after all. We can withstand your little magic!"

After hearing Alice's guaranteed response, Ling Feng did not hesitate any longer and told her his plan.

"The three of us will break out again in a moment. When you hear me chanting the spell, close your eyes and cover your ears as quickly as possible. This is a short spell! Okay, let's break out!"

The three of them broke out again, and the group of monsters were chasing them closely. After they had put a certain distance between them, there were only 10 monsters left that they could not get rid of.

At this time, Ling Feng suddenly turned around, raised his two-handed sword towards the group of monsters, and chanted a spell. Alice and Wu Kela quickly closed their eyes and covered their ears.

"Great God of Light, please lend your power to my lightning! - Flash Strike!"

Boom——

Instantly, a blinding white light flashed in the group of monsters, and a huge roar erupted almost at the same time. Even though they were wearing thick armor with their backs to the white light, the two felt the white light penetrate their bodies without leaving any shadows.

Even if they covered their ears, the huge explosion made them feel a strong tinnitus.

This is an indiscriminate group magic that ignores levels and directly acts on the body's sensory center. No wonder Ling Feng was hesitating whether to use this magic.

When the two felt the light ended, they immediately turned around to see how the magic worked. They didn't make any sound because they both had severe tinnitus, which prevented them from hearing any sound.

When the two turned around, they saw 10 monsters lying on the ground with their eyes closed, struggling and unable to get up. Ling Feng, who was in front of the monsters, was also stumbling and falling to the ground.

It seems that even the caster of the magic just now could not avoid being hurt. Now Ling Feng was hit by the explosion, which made him temporarily lose his sense of direction and balance.

Wu Ke La ran towards Ling Feng as fast as he could, carried Ling Feng on his back and ran into the forest, muttering something.

"Damn it, you actually succeeded in showing off in front of a cute girl! But I still can't help but say, well done!"

The three figures just disappeared into the dense forest.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Near dusk, Rita was standing at the southern exit of the Elf Forest, looking into the distance. She was so anxious that she was crying.

All the monsters on the grassland have disappeared, but she still hasn't waited for that person to come back.

She called out that man's name in her heart and offered countless prayers to the God of Light she believed in. She even wanted to rush to the grassland herself to find the whereabouts of the man in her heart.

If it weren't for the Famiel people who kept stopping her, she would have taken action long ago!

"Ling Feng! Ling Feng! Where are you? I know I was wrong! I will never take on a mission without knowing the content of it again! I will never be willful again, so please come back soon! Ling Feng! Wuuuuu..."

"Li...Rita-sister...that...give...give it to you...wuwuwu...Brother Yu, Sister Alice..."

Ina, who was also crying, handed over a handkerchief. Her current state was entirely due to Rita.

She was fine at first, but was infected by the heartbroken Rita's mood and started crying too. The two of them were like children infecting each other and couldn't stop at all.

Irelia had covered her ears because of the noise from the two of them, and as for Falmir, she just quietly stayed by their side to prevent them from doing anything stupid.

At this time, four figures appeared in front of everyone in the distance. Rita ran towards them as fast as she could without saying a word, and everyone followed her.

When she was close enough to see the other person's face, Rita was stunned for a moment and started crying again. The four people who came back were: Dongxue and her brother, Coolle and Fili. She looked around carefully but didn't see the fifth figure.

When the four people with tired faces came to them, Ina no longer cared about being surprised. She rushed over and hugged Dong Yu and Dong Xue. Rita also forced a smile to face everyone, but her tears still kept flowing out.

She took the handkerchief that Ina gave her and wiped away the tears that were flowing, but new tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Dongxue, that's great, you're back safely!"

"We got back safely, but... I'm sorry, Rita! We tried our best."

"I, I'm fine. It's good that I can come back safely. It's better than not coming back at all!"

Rita pretended to be strong, said some brave words and then left with her head down. She wanted to wait for Ling Feng to come back at the exit of the Elf Forest. No one tried to stop her, and no one wanted to do so. After all, this was the only thing she could do now.

She sat down against the tree and Aina followed her and sat next to her.

Suddenly a magic signal came to Rita's mind, and she took out the sensing stone in her waist bag and shouted with joy!

"Ling Feng! It's Ling Feng! He's still alive, and he's still alive and well! I know where he is! Master! I want to go to Ling Feng!"

Everyone immediately gathered around Rita, and looking at the glowing sensor stone in her hand, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Rita, when did you give Ling Feng the sensor stone?"

"I gave it to him when I was on my first mission. It was thanks to it that Ling Feng was able to rush to the scene and save me when I was in danger last time."

Rita's sad expression had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a blush on her face, which made her unable to help but think of what happened that night.

Everyone smiled knowingly at this wonderful scene, and Dongxue, the team leader, immediately issued a mobilization order.

"We need everyone to be assembled before tomorrow morning! No one has any objections, right?"

After everyone gave the obvious response in unison, everyone in the Elf Forest set out on a journey to find their companions.
