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

As his soul was constantly torn apart, Roy's consciousness finally began to blur.

It was like being dragged into the dark abyss by an indescribable monster, falling into darkness forever.

It's over...

Now, it's all over...

Chapter 31: Catch the Light

Today is the day Roy takes the potion and officially becomes a transcendent.

Carl's face was gloomy, his knife and fork had cut the food on the plate into pieces, but he didn't put a single bite into his mouth.

"Master, please believe the young master. You have seen his efforts these days, haven't you?"

In Anya's opinion, it was normal for Carl, as a father, to worry about his son. But at this moment, Carl seemed a little too worried.

Should I say that I am overly indulged?

"In the worst case scenario, with the medical team here, nothing will happen to the young master."

"I know." Carl put down his knife and fork and gave a tired smile.

He stared quietly at the void beside him, his thoughts flowing, as if he had returned to the past.

If possible, he would rather Roy never be a transcendent for the rest of his life.

Extraordinary people have to bear responsibilities far beyond those of ordinary people.

But what Roy had to bear was far more than he had imagined.

At this moment, a terrifying feeling of oppression swept over me.

Every extraordinary person in the Marquis's Mansion was stunned, and Anya's face changed instantly.

That was definitely not the terrifying aura that a low-level transcendent with silver blood could emit. It was more like some kind of terrifying external existence!

The source of this inexplicable feeling of oppression was Roy's room.

"Master, something happened!"

However, just when Anya was about to ask the maid to go and check the situation, Karl interrupted her in a deep voice.

"No one is allowed to disturb him."

"master?!"

Anya noticed that the word 'disturb' was bitten hard.

"Roy is on his own."

Carl closed his eyes, his words filled with determination.

This was also said to himself.

For a moment, countless doubts flashed through Anya's mind, but when she saw the other party's tightly clenched fists, she understood that it was Carl who was most worried about Roy at the moment.

Anya finally understood what Karl was worried about.

But the truth behind this is not something a mere maid like her can ask about.

I hope the young master is safe.

------------

Alice didn't expect such a sudden change to happen in just a few seconds.

The purple incense in the room faded in an instant, and the green liquid in the bathtub was visibly evaporating. Most importantly, Roy's entire body was bruised, with blood seeping from the corners of his eyes, mouth, and even his skin.

Even though Alice knew nothing about supernatural knowledge, she realized that something was seriously wrong!

"Master, please hold on a little longer. I'll call for help right away..."

Alice instinctively wanted to go out and call someone to interrupt Roy's promotion, but as soon as she turned around, she heard Roy howling like a wild beast, which shocked her heart.

The girl could no longer move.

She couldn't just abandon a master like that.

"Something happened, hurry up and call someone to rescue the master!"

Alice shouted at the door at the loudest voice she had ever heard, then ran over and grabbed Roy's ferocious hand tightly with both hands.

In order to prevent any accidents during the promotion, there was always a maid waiting outside the door. After the call just now, someone would come to rescue Roy soon.

The only thing I can do now is to stay with my master.

"Master, please hold on a little longer. Sister Anna will come to rescue you soon..."

The sharp pain from her wrist caused Alice's brows to twist for a moment.

Like a poor creature falling into the deep sea grabbing the last straw to save its life, Roy's hand gripped Alice's slender wrist tightly like an iron claw.

Alice was not worried but happy.

The fact that he could exert force showed that Roy had not given up on living.

"Master, please cheer up! It will be fine soon." Alice endured the pain and whispered comforting words even more gentle than usual.

Compared to the torture he'd suffered at the hands of the bar owner, this was nothing.

This is nothing compared to the pain the master is going through now.

If it could help Roy, it wouldn't matter if she lost her hand.

Just not willing to give in.

Alice, who had long been accustomed to being weak, hated her own lack of strength for the first time. She couldn't even share a bit of Roy's pain.

Alice gently placed her free hand on the back of Roy's hand, lowered her head, and prayed silently.

Master, please...

You must be safe and sound.

The girl who never believed in God didn't know who to pray to.

The only wish that Roy would be safe and sound was so strong.

Alice had no idea that at this moment, tiny dots of silver light emerged from her body.

Chaotic spots of light danced in the air, turning into a holy silver halo, like a pair of white wings, covering Roy's body.

When you are in the dark abyss, reaching out your hand is futile.

Roy felt so exhausted, and his will to resist and survive was gradually frozen by the darkness.

Maybe it doesn’t matter if I die?

Anyway, I am just a time traveler. And a useless young master.

Even if I die, no one will shed tears for me.

However, at the moment when Roy was about to give up, on the edge of his consciousness and in the endless darkness, he saw a faint light flash before his eyes.

The light grows brighter and brighter, bringing warmth and hope.

The ancient whispers, the terrifying pressure, even the soul-tearing pain, gradually dissipated under this halo of light. The only thing Roy could feel was the slight touch in his palm.

He is not alone.

It is far from time to give up.

With hope rekindled, Roy tried his best, stretched out his hand again, and grasped the holy light tightly.

"ha----!"

Roy stood up suddenly, gasping for breath, feeling a burning pain in his lungs and his eyes were blurry.

I almost suffocated just now!

After panting for a long time, he came to his senses and looked around blankly.

The purple incense had long since burned out, the liquid in the bathtub had completely dried up, and the faint ray of light that filtered through the edge of the bed curtains was gone.

It's already night?!

One sip of silver-grade [Iron Blood] potion took him a whole day to digest?!

After surviving the disaster, Roy felt extremely complicated.

Is it that my physical condition is too weak, or is there something wrong with this potion?

But the panel shows that [Compatibility] and [Carrying Capacity] are not that bad, and it doesn't show that there is anything wrong with the [Iron Blood] potion?

Is this panel itself a rip off???

Mentally exhausted, just a few simple thoughts gave Roy a headache.

Roy subconsciously wanted to touch his forehead, only to find something at hand.

When he looked back, he saw Alice holding his hand tightly and slumped over helplessly.

"Alice?!"

Roy was startled and held the girl and hurriedly checked her condition.

The good news is that Alice just fainted and is breathing normally, so she is not seriously injured.

But Roy discovered that Alice's originally fair and delicate wrist was covered with a layer of painful bruises.

It was obvious that he was caught by himself.

Roy probably guessed what had happened.

When something happened, Alice would come over to check on the situation and try to comfort him, but he would grab her fiercely in return.

You idiot, just push it away when you are caught like this.

Roy sighed, ignored the tearing pain all over his body, staggered to his feet, and picked up Alice.

The girl was lighter than he had imagined.

Such a fragile girl stayed with him for the entire day and didn't let go even when he fainted from exhaustion.

Roy placed Alice gently on the bed with great compassion, and once again confirmed that she was safe before checking his own condition.

Chapter 32: The Authenticity of Bloodline

Although he was covered in blood, in excruciating pain, and extremely exhausted, Roy inexplicably felt that his whole body was full of strength.

Name: Roy Einblad

[Bloodline]: [Iron Blood]

[Bloodline Level]: Sequence 9

[Blessing]:

[Light Blessing]: Brings good fortune to the recipient, blocks and filters excess supernatural energy, and heals the body. Time remaining: 253 seconds.

Protection?

Could it be Alice?

The so-called protection was an external force, a favor bestowed upon others by a powerful, transcendental power. However, Roy's impression of it was that it was quite useless. Not only was its power weak, but it also depended on the degree of compatibility between the protector and the protected.

In Angel Rondo, this was a useless setting. Roy hadn't even found any information about the Divine Protection in the library at home in the Ainblads' house.

Cults often promote the protection of evil gods. That thing is powerful, but it is a one-time way to waste your life.

To put it bluntly, the protection is useless.

I was actually saved by such a useless setting?

While feeling strange, Roy expressed regret for complaining about this setting in the past.

But protection is also a supernatural power.

Roy used the panel to confirm that Alice was still an ordinary person.

But Roy was sure that she was not far from awakening her extraordinary abilities.

According to the plot of "Angel Rondo", Alice awakened as a transcendent one year after living in the Ironblad family.
