The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Avenate withdrew her eager gaze and turned to Ogrien.

"I've heard from Olivia about your purpose before. Do you really want to do this?"

Avenate's tone was serious, and she hoped that Ogryn would reconsider.

"You have changed a lot, Sister Avenate."

Ogri stroked his long beard.

"If it were you in the past, you would have wanted to knock me down and prevent me from passing."

"You also said that was in the past. I've been working in an office lately and have been going to the White Tower less often. Naturally, I'm not as violent as before."

Avenate spread her hands.

In the past, she would really start a fight over anything she disagreed with, and she always acted like the president was first and I was second.

But that's also because she is really strong.

Back then, she could fight her way from the fourth floor to the seventh floor of the White Tower and back again with a battle axe in hand.

She can kill monsters below Legendary level with just two blows of her axe.

If any adventurer dared to challenge her, she would hit him with her axe and he would have to stay in the hospital for at least a month.

Even if a legend made some mockery of her, she would still dare to go up and chop him with an axe.

Let me chop first, and we'll talk about the rest later - this was exactly the famous saying she often said at the time.

But now, she is just a clerk sitting in an office.

If she hadn't occasionally carried an axe to the White Tower to kill monsters, she would have almost forgotten that she was a warrior.

"After all, I can't just chop down someone with an axe when I see someone I disagree with, right?"

"Hey~~"

Ogryn sighed for some reason.

He seemed a little lost.

"Why are you sighing? Isn't it normal for people to change? Do you think everyone is as stubborn as you?"

Although Avenate said this, there was a hint of envy in her eyes.

What is she envious of?

Do you envy Ogrion's persistence? Or do you envy Ogrion's unchanged attitude?

Perhaps even Avenatus herself did not know this.

"Grandpa, are you going to do something dangerous?"

Lisha understood something from what Olivia and Avenate said.

None of them seemed to want Ogryn to do something.

“It’s not so much a danger as it is a road of no return.”

Ogryn said as nonchalantly as if he were taking milk from the cupboard.

"Then why did Grandpa go?"

Lisha asked in confusion.

Although she is often said to be reckless and often does some reckless things, in fact, Lisha would never do anything to get herself killed. If there is really no hope for something, Lisha will take her time to do it.

But the old man in front of him seemed different. It seemed that there was no possibility of success for what he was about to do.

"To fulfill the agreement with others and to fulfill the promise I made."

Ogrien said to Lisha gently.

"And you don't have to worry about me, Lisha, because I won't live much longer anyway."

"why is that?!"

Lisha didn't understand.

She remembered that sister Olivia said that the old man was a professional at the gem level.

The life span of professionals at the gem level is very long. Even for humans, living to six hundred or seven hundred years old is not a problem.

"The curse of disaster."

Avenat suddenly spoke.

"Could it be that Grandpa is under a curse of disaster?!"

When Lisha heard Avenate's words, she looked sharply at Ogrien.

"I remember it was when I was eighteen, I was suddenly possessed by the curse of disaster. I tried many methods at the time but couldn't remove it, and I couldn't even weaken it. I was quite desperate at first, but then I gradually came to terms with it and didn't care that much."

Ogrien said it lightly, but the sadness attached to these light words was particularly hard to accept.

"What is this curse of disaster?"

Lisha asked.

"It seems that Lisha also knows something about the curse of disaster."

Ogrin was stunned.

If you don't know something about the curse of disaster, you won't be able to ask such a question.

"I am cursed with aging. My body ages ten times faster than the average professional."

Even the Aging Curse is divided into levels, the lightest one is only one times, and ten times can almost be said to be the heaviest one.

"Is that why Grandpa has become like this now?"

Lisha finally understood why Ogrien, a professional at the Gem level, had aged like this.

"Ogrien was once hailed as the empire's most talented rookie. He reached the Silver Rank at the age of sixteen and was promoted to the Gold Rank at the age of eighteen. If it weren't for this damn thing, he might even have broken the record for the fastest person to become a legend."

Avenate finally couldn't help but speak out.

The thought of this made Avenate gnashed with hatred.

No one expected such a tragedy to happen.

Being cursed with disaster is like an ordinary person walking on the street, suddenly falling to the ground and dying.

It sounds ridiculous, but it's true.

The curse of disaster in those eyes was like a natural calamity. Even powerful professionals were no different from ordinary fragile people in front of it.

Sometimes, even ordinary people who are saddled with some calamity curses will not suffer any harm and may even live to the end of their lives.

Compared to Ogrien's aging curse, Lisha and Ilsa's fire curse is actually a relatively mild curse.

"Is this curse really impossible to remove?"

Lisha thought about the fire curse on herself.

"Perhaps there are curses of disaster that can be weakened or even eliminated, but the curse of aging is definitely not one of them."

At the beginning, Ogrien tried everything, even the life blessing of the Pope of the Church of Life, or the water from the Fountain of Life of the elves, but all ended in failure.

It's not that it's ineffective, but that it's been infinitely diluted by the Curse of Aging.

Without these treasures, he might not even have lived to be eighty-one years old.

After all, to him, sixty-three years was actually the same as six hundred and thirty years.

If it weren't for the help of those treasures that allowed him to temporarily retain his strength, he probably wouldn't have been able to achieve the Gem Level. If he hadn't achieved the Gem Level, Ogrien would have died many years ago and would never have been able to survive until now.

"Xiao Lixia, I have nothing to let go of now. The only thing I want is this, so I'm going to do it."

There was unshakable firmness and determination in Ogrien's slow words.

"Move forward, that's all I can do now."

"You Ze, is there really no way?"

Lisha didn't want her grandfather to die.

But she couldn't think of any way to stop him.

"There are actually many ways, but can you really stop him?"

Yuze asked Lixia back.

Chapter 333 Just Witness

"..."

Lisha was speechless.

She actually understood.

She couldn't stop Ogryn.

Asking Youze was just a subconscious action.

Because You Ze is the person she trusts the most and can always give the best solution.

"Hahaha~ Xiao Lixia, thank you for trying to stop me, but I really have to go."

Ogrien patted the silent Lisha and laughed happily.

"But this is not something I can't help, it's my own will."

"You were the youngest one, so why are you the most stubborn one?"

Avenate's fingers tapped the tabletop quickly and hastily.

"When are you going? Tell me and I'll go with you."

"Are you going too, Sister Avenate? Thank you so much. It looks like someone is here to collect my body."

Ogrien narrowed his eyes, but there was no trace of gloom in his expression.

"As for the time, let's do it tomorrow morning. If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to open my eyes."

"Okay! Tomorrow morning!"

Avenate was also a decisive person and made the decision right away.

After finalizing the matter, Ogrien and Lisha left the Adventurer's Guild.

On the way back, Lisha seemed depressed.

Obviously, Ogrien's choice had a great impact on Lisha.

Back in Dragon's Breath, Ogrien asked Olivia for a room to stay in for the night.

Olivia agreed.

"Lisha, what's wrong with you?"

Ilsa was the first to notice Lisha's gloomy mood and asked her.

"I don't understand grandpa's choice."

Lisha quietly told him about Ogrien.

"Perhaps for people like him, there are always things more important than life."

Ilsa looked at Lisha’s profile.

To her, Lisha was the light that was more important than her own life.

If it was to save Lisha, she could also sacrifice her life.

"But doesn't death mean the end of everything?"

Lisha now undoubtedly loves life.

If it were Lisha who had just survived the fire, she might have a different opinion.

But now, under Yuze's education, Lisha has become a person who values life.

As such, she could not understand what Ogryn meant by seeking death, even though Ogryn was already on the verge of death.

Why can't I continue to live?
