What did you do with the dice?

She only saw two bodies that had turned to charcoal.

In order not to scare Rewi Alley, they endured the fiery trial that was like the torture of hell, and persevered silently until the end of their lives.

At this moment, Ai Li, who had been standing by and watching the whole process, burst into tears. The gray mist instantly turned into a raging fire and burned around her. This time, her holy light could no longer protect her. A heart-wrenching burning heat instantly spread throughout her body, burning her soul.

Ai Li spent the following days in a daze amidst the fire. His last memory was a pillar of light shooting up into the sky that enveloped everything in his sight, and then all the images in his memory disappeared.

The memory ends here.

Ai Li dragged his transparent body and walked tiredly in this gray and white world. The recurring nightmare appeared again.

"You're the one who killed us!"

The faces of the villagers became clearer, stones hit Ai Li, and several knives and iron forks pierced her body.

I'm sorry... everyone... I couldn't save you.

"Aili, we shouldn't have given birth to you. It's you who made us endure this pain."

The charred bodies revealed the faces of her parents, who roared and rushed towards her. What should have been a warm embrace turned into fiery torture.

I'm sorry... Dad, Mom, I killed you.

"Why are you the only one who possesses the Holy Light, while I have been abandoned by the Light God! Exiled by everyone!"

Knight Morano drew his dagger and stabbed Aerie in the chest.

I'm sorry...Knight Morano, I have always ignored your feelings.

[Alley, you have failed my expectations.]

Ai Li dragged his body, which was covered with wounds and almost disappeared, and raised his head to look at the source of the sound.

"teacher......"

Theresa looked down at her, her face filled with disdain and disappointment. "Even if you possess power, you can't save anything. Even if you forget the past, your hometown, your parents, and yourself, and choose to escape and embrace a new life, what good will that do?"

She waved her hand, and the hell of Hendalia City emerged.

Ai Li looked at his former self.

The blood, the flames, and the people who numbly begged for help, everything overlapped with that unforgettable memory, making her retching uncontrollably. She watched helplessly as the demons tore the bodies of the people apart, but because of fear, she could do nothing.

"A futile cry, such naive kindness. You're not cut out to save the world. It was the Light God who misjudged you, and it was me who misjudged you back then. I lent you my power, but you used it to kill even more people. Everything is destroyed because of you. If people like you died, perhaps the world would be a better place."

sorry......

"However, God Light is great and benevolent. Although your weakness is unforgivable, if you are willing to return your power to me, I can save more lost people who have yet to be saved, and thus make up for the mistakes you have made."

A sharp sword slowly appeared in Theresa's hand. She looked at Ai Li's increasingly faint body and the barrier around him that was already looming, and slowly raised the sword in her hand.

"Ai Li, you've accomplished nothing, but you still have the freedom to choose self-sacrifice. How wonderful! You don't have to do anything, you don't have to think about anything. Even if you've committed countless crimes, you can still be forgiven by everyone through self-sacrifice and have a great ending. I can even use the power you leave behind to save the world. How wonderful!"

The people around gathered together and shouted in unison:

"Give up resistance, Aerie."

"Aili, give her everything you have."

"This is your only way!"

"You can't live this selfishly!"

"You must atone for our deaths! You must repent for the deaths of your parents!"

"Only in this way can you enter the kingdom of God Leiter after death."

"Do you want to escape again? Forget all your memories, forget the memories of Hendalia City, forget the wounded on the battlefield who were not rescued because of your fear, and start your life all over again?"

"Coward! We will never forgive you! Go to hell! You devil!"

I...I...

Haha, it’s over.

Theresa watched as the light on Ai Li completely disappeared and slashed the blade in her hand.

I have done so many wrong things, hurting everyone, hurting my parents, and failing everyone's expectations. I should have sacrificed myself and returned the power to the teacher.

"But I still want to live. Am I being very selfish?"

Tears streamed down Ai Li's face and dripped onto the ground.

The sword blade did not cut through her body, but made a loud sound of metal colliding.

Ai Li, whose eyes were red and almost disappeared, slowly raised her head, and the blue armor came into her sight.

The divine light fell on this gray land, illuminating everything around it.

The warm holy light dispelled the cold, dispelled the decay, dispelled the gloom, and also dispelled the sadness in Ai Li's heart.

"No, you are not wrong. Everyone has the right to live."

The greatsword swept across with an unstoppable momentum, instantly creating a huge air wave around. While forcing Theresa back, it also swept away the approaching figures around her, as if they disappeared like dust.

"Captain..."

"It's you!" Theresa looked at the figure in front of her. For the first time, her face, which had been confident of victory, revealed an expression of uncontrollable shock. "Why did you appear in her spiritual world and possess such power? How is this possible! What is your origin?"

Rusalka didn't answer her question. Instead, he extended his hand and shielded Ai Li's body with holy light. He shouted, "Aili, retreat! Return to your wounded camp. From now on, I, Rusalka, will take over this battlefield! Tell me your name! Knight!"

Theresa suddenly came to her senses, tightened her grip on the sword, and smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Oh, I've been through so many things recently that I lost my composure for a moment. It turns out you're just a memory. Haha, that's normal. After all, Gemini is such a charming paladin. If I were younger, I would fall in love with him just like you.

So, is he the last line of defense in your heart? Oh, that's ridiculous. Think about how long you've known each other. What a pity~ I thought I would be your spiritual support. Let me personally shatter your boring fantasy of love.

----

"The great river flows eastward! The stars in the sky... the Big Dipper! When you see injustice, you roar. When it's time to take action, you take action. Rushing to the capital! Sigh, I feel like this wording doesn't have the flavor of Kyushu, huh? What's that sound?"

The dice were spinning, and every time this sound was accompanied by something terrible, Rushaka became alert.

After the dust settled, the surroundings were still quiet, as if nothing had changed?

[I forgive you for borrowing my name. I am willing to give you my blessing, but you need to pass my test to redeem that painful memory.]

What the hell? It's inexplicable. System, you're a spirit. Just tell me.

However, if you're a Hedgehog Cat system, cut the crap and get out there! Hmm, preferably invisible, something Phoenix can't see. So, how about that cursed armor in the Monster Girl Guide? Just thinking about the excitement of doing it openly, in broad daylight, anytime, anywhere is a thrill.

【Do you accept the test of Light God? 】

What? God Wright?!

Who are you sending it to? Who am I sending it to?

Rusalka was stunned. He could imagine any possible outcome. Even now, when his good brother suddenly told him that his military camp had been blown up by Theresa, he could totally accept it.

But this development was totally unexpected. It cannot be said to be illogical, but it can only be said to be completely unrelated. Is this arrangement of the gods a bit too random?

He was just walking on the empty streets of Alice City and humming a heroic song. He didn't wait for a black car carrying four assassins, nor did he wait for the Seven Sins cultists who had been lying in ambush for a long time. Instead, he waited for the blessing of God Light?

No, brother, what I mean is, apart from the fact that the power used by my Paladin profession is called Holy Light, and the power of you, the God of Light, also happens to be called Holy Light, and the fact that we are both stand-ins of the same type, do you and I have even the slightest relationship at all?

I am very grateful that you didn't strike me with lightning to punish me for my rude words to you. God Light is the best.

But this sudden big thing wants to test me, which makes me, who is currently in full condition and intends to keep it in full condition until the end, a little... hard to refuse!

[You have accepted the test of Light God and are about to enter the test scene.]

When the gods wanted to ask me to do a commercial and send blessings, I actually refused. I didn't want to collect these garbage blessings that seemed to cause trouble. But this blessing seemed to have a special effect. After collecting it, I felt very Duang~

In short, as a fan of the complete illustrated collection, it is difficult for him to refuse a blessing that fell from the sky inexplicably.

Soon, he understood how rare it was to receive a divine blessing: he walked through Rewi Alley's memories from Rewi Alley's perspective, as if watching a movie.

He was silent for a long, long time.

Rusalka, deeply moved by the sacrifice of Rewi Alley's parents, felt their pain, and even felt a surge of homesickness. She sniffed, searched her vocabulary, and selected the most powerful word to briefly evaluate the development of the first half of this memory story: "History!"

As for the second half, his comment was equally brief and powerful: "Kill!"

The next moment, his body was dragged into the scene in his memory.

Chapter 292: Speed ​​Through the Dreamland (Part 1)

The giant sword is thick and steady, and every move shakes the heavens and the earth. The long sword is insidious and vicious, and can penetrate every hole in the space.

The scattered illusions around surged in like a tide again, carrying a malicious gray, and attacked the golden barrier behind Rusalka that could not be protected. However, no matter how hard they attacked, ripples like raindrops spread on the barrier, and it was as motionless as the city defense formation of Alice City.

The tall figure wielded the greatsword.

Stretching sideways, raising the shield, slashing forward, each move was extremely simple and rigid. Although Theresa did not dare to use light attacks to deal heavy blows, she could easily avoid these clumsy attacks by simply changing her steps slightly.

"Haha, it turns out you haven't seen his fighting form."

Theresa's sword quickly broke through Rusalka's shield defense. The sword condensed by her spirit turned into a long white thorn and hit Rusalka right in the center of her eyebrows.

However, the latter used his forehead to block the long sword, and not only did not retreat, but took a step forward.

This step was like an immortal getting angry, waves of energy surged, and all the ghosts and monsters retreated!

The overwhelming force actually shook Theresa's spiritual body, which had already condensed into reality, away, and even the body composed of the spiritual body flashed for a moment.

Having already invaded the spiritual world countless times, she found the scene before her simply absurd. How could a mere memory phantom, condensed from a fantasy, possess a spiritual power more powerful than the original body?!

Rusalka, standing before him, shouted in a trembling voice after taking this step: "Aili, if your sky shatters, I will become your sun, moon, and stars!"

This loud shout dispelled all the dust above his head, and the sky became clear again. Even Ai Li in the barrier felt a stream of cool spring water flowing into his chaotic consciousness after hearing these words, and his body, which was about to disappear, became more solid again.

"Disgusting! Childish! I never thought that this would be the image of him in your memory? Do you think you know him well? In fact, he doesn't love you at all! He will never love anyone else. He is just a madman who wants to become a god. All the soft words you thought were sweet and affectionate were fake! His heart is completely blank!"

The long sword in Theresa's hand dissipated, and she spread out her hands. Countless spiritual spikes popped out from the air, making a sharp explosion sound and piercing Rusalka until his whole body was pierced. But even though he was pierced like a hedgehog, he still stood in front of Ai Li with the sword and shield in his hand.

"I know, but... he's been nice to Phoenix."

Ai Li's voice, as soft as a mosquito's, sounded quietly in this space.

"Besides, he promised to protect me."

Theresa was stirred by the whispers and recalled the desperate battlefield where she was left alone. At that time, no god answered her prayers.

Perhaps because she was the spiritual body that was most touched by the soul and emotions at this moment, she was filled with anger at the shadow of Rusalka who was guarding Ai Li's spiritual body tightly. She controlled the mental spikes and turned them into mental bombs to explode. However, even though Rusalka's shadow became tattered by this attack, it would soon be restored to its original state under the golden light.

In Ai Li's consciousness, this guy is just like his real body. He can't be killed no matter what, or he has the ability to become immortal again. If he delays any longer, something bad might happen. After all, this is Ai Li's spiritual home, and the great wizard may have a magic weapon in his hand. Once he is allowed to complete those top-level ritual magic that even he himself doesn't quite understand, the situation may be reversed immediately.

Well, there's nothing I can do, poor Ai Li. My original intention was to give you a happy and peaceful ending for the sake of our master-disciple relationship. But since you don't appreciate it and are unwilling to submit to the origin and hand over the control of your strength and mental power to me, but choose to blindly escape from the current situation and try to hide behind him all the time, then I can only let you completely despair and disappear in the painful memories of endless reincarnation.

When the time comes, I will spend some time to control this empty shell of yours.

The world around him shattered like a mirror, and Ai Li's spirit fell into endless darkness again.

----

When he came to his senses, Rewi Alley had actually replaced little Rewi Alley and stood in the prayer ceremony himself.

She stared blankly at everything in front of her, her memory was very confused. She vaguely remembered that this was a painful memory she had experienced. A sticky liquid ran across her face. She reached out and wiped it, and her green little hand was stained with bright red blood. Her stomach churned, she felt nauseous, and a feeling of dizziness rushed to her brain.

Not far away, Morano was pinned to the ground. Everything repeated itself over and over again, with nothing changing.

The villagers gathered around her and eagerly asked about her condition: "Master Ai Li, are you okay?"

But in Ai Li's eyes, this scene was similar to the people standing before the stake, shouting that they wanted to burn her and her parents to ashes. An evil gray aura swirled around her unscrupulously. For a moment, she was so frightened that she had difficulty breathing. Her body began to become transparent. She stepped back in panic, "No... Don't come over..."

The same scene was repeated. This time, the knight on the ground still struggled and yelled the words that Ai Li had already heard: "Shut up! You bunch of fools, and you, don't call me by my name, you monster! You all saw it, she clearly came into contact with my blood but didn't lose the Holy Light. In fact, she is the source of the curse, the culprit who deprived us of the Holy Light! She took away everyone's Holy Light! Since she appeared, no one in this town can use the Holy Light anymore, not even those sinless newborns. Here is the proof!"

Then the wizard appeared, and everyone began to question Rewi Alley. Internal divisions arose, and the painful scene seemed to repeat itself.

But the situation this time was even worse than before. Almost half of the villagers chose to believe Morano. The anger spread rapidly, and before Ai Li could speak, everyone had already entered the stage of fighting.

"No... don't do this, everyone, stop it!" She tried desperately to mobilize the holy light to complete the calming spell, but found that she had no way to condense a complete spell. The panic in her heart had completely destroyed the possibility of her casting the spell calmly, and everything before her eyes was sliding into the abyss as usual.

[Hehe, then, what do you want to choose? Kill everyone who resists you? Or let things continue to develop until blood flows like a river? Or perhaps you already know that you have no choice. No matter how many times you come here, the ending will be the same, because this is your memory, and memory cannot be changed!]

"I......"

The world in Ai Li's eyes turned gray. She looked at the people she once loved, the villagers who were suffering because of the curse, and the smiling faces of those who were with her day and night, which eventually turned into hatred and madness. She clearly had such power, but she couldn't even use a complete divine spell.

I can't save anything.

Facing Morano, who was no longer being held down and had stood up again, raising his hand to guide the rebellious villagers to wage war, Ai Li sat down on the ground dejectedly, about to be injured again.

The next moment, a brilliant golden light suddenly emerged from the gray screen. This dazzling light broke the silence and also streaked across Morano's neck.

Crimson blood gushed out, soaking the greatsword and the blue armor.
