As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

The story is getting better and better. Alice, who has been completely immersed in the story, looks at the hero and heroine who are getting farther and farther away, and suddenly feels an inexplicable sense of urgency.

Gray lived in depression and confusion until the day when she saw with her own eyes a noble lady throwing herself into the arms of her master.

It is normal for outstanding young men to be favored by outstanding women.

As a maid, it was natural for her to be happy for her master.

As it should be.

But the Gray Maid was not happy.

She hid in the corner and sobbed, as if the colorful world had fallen into darkness again.

"This is all my fault. As a maid, I shouldn't have been disrespectful to my master and coveted his favor! This relationship was wrong from the beginning!"

The gray maid's monologue made Alice's heart tremble violently.

I want to be looked at and touched by my master, and I crave time alone with him.

So this kind of feeling is wrong? As a maid, shouldn't I be disrespectful to my master?

The ladies who should be around the master are bright and lively, and the gray maid only needs to wait silently.

This should be a matter of course.

But seeing the gray maid huddled in the corner, watching her master from afar, Alice felt heartbroken and could hardly breathe.

The gray maid's master couldn't accept the distance between them growing larger and larger, so one night she found the gray maid Grey and asked her why she was distancing herself from her.

Under the cold moon, the melody is melodious.

The courtyard at night is quiet and beautiful, yet filled with an inexplicable sadness.

Under her master's questioning, Gray, the gray maid, finally sobbed and confessed the longing she had suppressed for a long time.

The black-haired boy next to him scratched his cheek, looking strange.

It was a good story, honestly. But this master-servant romance kept reminding him of Alice, which made him feel out of place and even a little awkward.

Just as his thoughts drifted away, Roy suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart and an inexplicable chill.

The atmosphere has reached its peak and the performance is about to reach its climax.

Faced with the gray maid's tears and the emotions and longing that were expressed, her master finally responded.

Is the feeling of Gray Maid really wrong?

Alice's heart was at its peak, and she even forgot to breathe.

But just as the boy on the stage was about to respond, Alice exclaimed first.

Because Roy flashed over and hugged her, pressing her tightly under him.

"Master?" Alice's pupils trembled, and she felt like her heart was about to burst out of her chest.

Until a deafening roar came from above.

The once magnificent ceiling turned into a torrent of rubble, pouring down and sweeping across the entire theater.

Alice's expression froze, and she tried to push the boy away in panic.

At this time, it should be her who protects the master.

However, Roy shouted coldly: "Don't move!"

The next second, a torrent of countless debris came roaring in, mercilessly engulfing the figures in the theater.

The lyrical and beautiful melody was abruptly interrupted, replaced by countless screams and cries of extreme fear.

The two-headed skull dragon slid down, and the skinny old man landed on the stage.

He glanced at the panicked actors around him, and a hint of sympathy appeared between his brows.

"Love is nothing but the suffering of the mundane world."

Kalman opened his arms, his dark green eyes burning faintly, and a strange and extremely cold smile appeared on his pale face.

"There's no need to panic, gentlemen."

"My Lord will bring equal grace to each of you. I will erase the sufferings of mortal life and grant you the eternal bliss called silence!"

Chapter 15 Now is not the time to give up

In a corner of the rubble, the black-haired boy raised himself up and casually flipped the huge rock above his head aside.

With [Steel Bones] and [Evil Dragon Blood Armor], a few tons of rubble was nothing. Roy himself was unharmed, but the boulders and steel bars that fell on him were severely deformed.

"Alice, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but Master..."

"I'm fine too."

But others were not so lucky.

Roy looked around and couldn't help but frowning deeply.

There were many adventurers and noble children in the theater. Although they were not as capable as Roy in catching rocks on their faces, they all had their own ways of dealing with unexpected situations.

But ordinary people still make up the majority.

Even if they were not crushed to death on the spot, many people still suffered serious injuries in the collapse. There were roars and cries everywhere, just like a disaster scene.

And this is just the beginning.

The biggest threat is still the cultist who controls the bone dragon.

Looking at the skinny old man in the distance, Roy wished he could scatter the ashes of this bastard who disturbed his vacation.

The opponent was not coming towards him, otherwise the attack would have been more accurate.

With the barrier set up by the dean, as long as he did not use too much of the [Pseudo-King's] power, ordinary cultists would not be able to recognize his identity as the Pseudo-King's blood.

In other words, I was completely dragged into this incident this time. It was pure bad luck.

Thinking of this, Roy became even more depressed.

The two previous encounters with cultists due to my fate-defying node were fine, but this time, I was just taking a break to watch a show, so how could I run into these bastards?!

You cultists love working overtime, fine, but why are you ruining my vacation?!

Besides, what does a Red Mage do for a living? These cultists are ready to go on a killing spree, but where are they?!

But Roy quickly looked away.

Since his opponent didn't specifically target him, he didn't intend to fight to the death.

The most urgent task is to get Alice out of danger as soon as possible.

What's more, there are civilians.

Roy was not a kind man, but when he looked at the crying children who were separated from their parents, the pale old man whose legs were broken by the huge rocks, and the people who were covered in blood and in panic, he still found it difficult to abandon them.

The extraordinary have the obligation to protect mortals.

Even putting this aside, Roy was unwilling to watch these people die when he could do so.

"Protect the civilians, we will evacuate through the emergency exit."

Roy had just given Alice an order when he saw the bone dragon leap up and block the escape route.

"Everyone, do not reject the grace of our Lord!"

Following Kalman's call, countless eerie pale magic circles lit up under the bone dragon's feet.

One after another, hideous skeletons and corpses holding swords and knives slowly emerged from the magic circle and pounced towards the crowd ferociously.

The crowd retreated in panic like lambs targeted by wolves.

"Don't be afraid!"

"I've killed countless undead creatures!"

The few extraordinary people bravely stepped forward, drew their swords, and easily cut off the bodies of the skeleton soldiers and corpses.

However, how can the undead creatures summoned by the cultists be compared with the undead creatures naturally formed in the wild?

The chopped-off skeletons healed within seconds, their bones trembling. The rotting corpses, unable to heal themselves, possessed a far greater vitality. Even with their bodies broken in two, they still lunged forward recklessly, biting their enemies with a fierce grip.

"These things can't be killed!"

"Damn it, someone help me...Ah!"

The first extraordinary people who rushed forward were swallowed up by skeletons and corpses that outnumbered them by several times in a moment, and fell under the hacking and biting.

The defeat of the extraordinary became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Countless civilians fled in all directions without direction, like a flock of birds, greatly hindering the work of other extraordinary people. They were even caught by skeletons and corpses and executed mercilessly like slaughtering livestock.

The humans killed by the undead creatures burned with a strange pale fire, and within a few seconds, they turned into their own kind.

"Don't bother with them, use ranged!"

"Who knows how to use fire?!"

"You're just a mere adventurer, don't give me orders!"

"Nah! Is this the time to talk about this?!"

The Gale Knights and the students of the Sands faction that Roy had worked with were different. The former were elite soldiers, and the latter were a collective that operated in factions and cooperated seamlessly. However, these extraordinary people in front of him included adventurers and nobles. They did not know each other and had difficulty cooperating. They fought alone in the chaos and could not form an effective counterattack.

In contrast, the undead creatures moved in an orderly and efficient manner like calibrated gears, using their superior military strength to surround one extraordinary being after another.

The adventurers and the nobles cursed each other and could only retreat little by little under the siege of the undead creatures and were forced into the center of the theater.

The huge bone dragon, which was more than ten meters tall, was circling around like a hungry beast, and was approaching the center of the theater step by step with the undead army.

This beast wants to gather them together and catch them all in one fell swoop!

Realizing this, the extraordinary people launched a counterattack more anxiously, but still could not break through the impenetrable encirclement of the undead creatures.

The most despairing thing is to witness death approaching with your own eyes.

Be they adventurers or nobles, looking at those hideous undead creatures and the terrifying bone dragon, their faces turned pale and they fell into despair.

But at this moment, they saw a black-haired boy passing by them.

“Now is not the time to give up.”

It's not time to give up? Then what else can you do?

There were sneers in the crowd, some were puzzled, and some even cursed inwardly that this was another hot-blooded fool who wanted to show off his power. More people were running away in panic, no longer paying attention to the black-haired boy.

But the next moment, Roy glanced back.

A soul-stirring dark golden light flashed in the black pupils.

The terrifying pressure swept over like an invisible tsunami. No matter whether they were extraordinary people or civilians, they all felt awe from the depths of their souls, instinctively stopped their actions and calmed down.

So everyone saw that scene.

Facing a group of undead creatures that were almost swallowing him, the young man held his sword and swung it upstream.

[Qi and blood condense]!

Scarlet blood gushed out from the blade, turning into an unmatched slash.

The pale and decayed tide was shaken.

With a blow like thunder, countless undead creatures were pierced through and shattered to pieces on the spot. Even the arrogant bone dragon was knocked back half a step by this blow and fell into the ruins in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

Roy put down the sword that had turned into iron chips and smiled faintly at everyone.

"I told you, now is not the time to give up."

Chapter 16 Paladin?!

Dragon might is essentially the oppressive aura released by the dragon bloodline.

Even among mythical creatures, dragons are among the highest in status.

Therefore, most creatures have an instinctive awe of dragon power.

Whether it is respect or fear depends on the situation.
