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

Chapter 110: Insignificance

Looking at the girl sleeping in a weird position with her head drooping and her body lying on her side, Roy couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Jon Snow must be tired. He'd been carrying on all this way, and suddenly he relaxed, so he couldn't hold on any longer.

The white and slender feet in his arms were no longer cold. After confirming that Jon Snow's blood circulation had completely returned to normal, Roy loosened his grip, helped Jon Snow onto the bed, and covered her with a blanket.

Just at this moment, the girl's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she uttered a faint whisper in her sleep.

"don't want......"

"Don't leave me..."

The daughter of the Border Grand Duke, the Empire's [Ice Rose], a Sequence 5 genius transcendent, and his own personal mentor.

But after all, she is just a girl with a tragic fate.

Jon Snow's life has been full of loss. He lost his parents, lost his home, and now he has even lost Snowbreeze Castle.

To outsiders, she might be a rose that is lonely at the top, but in fact, she has just lost too much and feels lost for the warmth between people.

It is precisely because we are too lonely that we cherish every bit of companionship, no matter how ordinary it is.

Who was she praying to in her sleep?

Pray to her parents? Pray to her relatives and friends? But her childhood had been buried forever in the past by the wind and snow.

But no matter who she prays to, at least she still has herself.

Just like in the life-and-death fight in the canyon, Jon Snow did not abandon me, and now, I should stay with her to the end.

Roy wordlessly took her hand.

As if she felt something, her frowned brows relaxed slightly, and the girl stopped mumbling and fell into a peaceful sleep.

However, if you want to reverse the fate node, it is not something that can be accomplished by just talking.

The border nobles are responding to Jon Snow's call. In terms of ordinary troops, they are not much inferior to the demons.

But high-end combat power is a problem.

Neither the Earl and Countess nor Jon Snow are weak opponents, but the former has a limited bloodline level, and Jon Snow, who has ice attributes, is at a great disadvantage against the undead who are naturally not afraid of the cold.

I'm afraid that I will have to fight with the Undead General Intalon.

Just thinking about it made Roy feel depressed.

Compared to the cultists who relied on the power of evil gods to increase their strength by forcing things to grow, the battle-hardened demons gave him more headaches.

Even with the [Blessing of the Sea Emperor] and the [Blood Furnace Demon Sword], Roy didn't dare to guarantee victory. He only had a 50% chance of victory at best.

If it’s 50%, then life or death is unpredictable.

He didn't want to break the promise he made to Jon Snow, and he hadn't lived long enough. A 50% chance of winning was not appropriate.

He needs more power!

Thanks to the siege by the cultists, his [Iron Blood] bloodline has been greatly promoted, but he still needs an opportunity to reach Sequence 6.

The threshold between low-level and mid-level will be the dividing line between the weak and the strong in Vizseya, and it is not easy to cross.

Furthermore, Roy suspected that even if he advanced to Sequence 6, he would lack the decisive advantage to defeat the Undead General.

In fact, in a normal fight, he is not much inferior to Sequence 5, but he can't keep up in a long-term battle.

What really gave Roy a headache was [Bloodline Enlightenment].

He needed a special move that could defeat [Bloodline Enlightenment]. Otherwise, even if he advanced to Sequence 6, it would only delay the battle with the Undead General for a longer period of time.

Of course, looking at the bright side, if I can get enough help in the melee, defeating the Undead General will not be a problem.

But considering his extremely bad luck, even when he went out to see a play, he would run into a cult massacre, so Roy had become accustomed to thinking about things from the worst perspective.

[Confirm to consume 1 Fate Reversal Point and start projecting the road to becoming a king! ]

[Phoenix], the legendary phoenix, I hope you can give me some support this time!

Silently chanting the demigod's name, Roy calmed his mind and immersed his consciousness in past memories.

The flame of memory flickers in the void.

The spark burned brighter and brighter, and eventually turned into a prairie fire that was strong enough to fight against the darkness.

The cry of the phoenix started the war against the demons.

Under the leadership of the [Sage], the human coalition composed of various major forces showed unprecedented unity, defeated the brutal and ugly demons, and finally climbed to the top of the city and recaptured a city.

Lionheart, Winter, Elves, Golden Sands, South Seas, Magicians, and the Church of Holy Light, people from different forces offered prayers on the ruins to commemorate the dead, and raised their glasses to celebrate by the bonfire, celebrating the victory of the human race.

The golden light, which belonged only to that era, was so dazzling that it dazzled Roy.

This must be the dazzling "Age of Heroes" as described in textbooks.

In the middle of the Third Era, the united human race finally sounded the clarion call for a counterattack, began to retake lost territories, and thwarted the offensive of the demons.

The heroes of that era were as numerous as stars.

Among them, the six most brilliant people who led everyone forward were hailed as the "Six Heroes" who saved this era.

The [Sword Master] and [Holy Nun] of the Church of Holy Light.

A half-elf hybrid [Berserker].

The sworn knight of the Lionheart Kingdom [Phantom Fox].

The monarch who unified the Kingdom of Sands [Golden King].

Heroes gathered together, drinking and chatting happily, and it really was like a group of shining stars.

It's strange that [Sage] Booker is not among them.

Roy moved forward along with the scenes of his past memories, and finally caught a glimpse of the gray-robed wizard in a dark ruin.

The mage was no longer young, his features more profound, and a layer of stubble on his face. Compared to the dazzling crowd, he stood in the ruins, gazing at the deep darkness in the distance.

Judging from his appearance, Booker looked somewhat familiar to Roy, but his temperament was far inferior to that of the disrespectful, kind and gentle old man.

"Young people! Come on, it's time for a barbecue! Honestly, you humans are really good at grilling..."

The scarlet girl holding the skewers of meat came running over quickly, her face filled with satisfaction and joy.

Compared to the first projection, Phoenix has grown a lot. Except for her still immature breasts, she has grown taller and her red hair falls over her shoulders, making her look like a young girl.

Great, the dean didn't go down the path of a lolita...

Roy breathed a sigh of relief and felt fortunate for the Sage's later years.

However, is Phoenix just going to follow Booker and eat and drink for free in the human coalition?

As far as I can remember, no history book mentioned that the "Sage" was accompanied by a cute red-haired girl.

Before Roy could think about it, Phoenix had already moved closer to Booker and looked in the direction he was looking, but he was a little confused.

"Everyone is celebrating, why are you just sitting here alone?"

"Nothing, just..."

Booker sighed slightly.

"I'm just wondering, can we really win?"

"What are you talking about? Hasn't the battle been going well recently?"

After showing off her meat exchange, Finny pointed a skewer at Booker and said vaguely, "It was you who came here to lick my boots, saying you wanted to borrow my power to save humanity. Now that the situation is so good, why are you depressed again?"

Booker struggled to contain himself when his dark history was brought up, but he still said gravely, "It's just now."

"Yes, we started to counterattack and even defeated the Four Heavenly Kings. Everything is going in the right direction."

"But I hadn't reached the advanced level at that time. I was too ignorant."

"The stronger I become, the more I realize that the power of humans, and even living things, has its limits. Sequence 1 beings completely transcend mortal beings, half a step away from becoming gods. Can we truly defeat them on our own?"

In the cold wind, the great magician looked so weak and powerless.

There was no doubt that he was much stronger than when he was young, but now he had lost the fearlessness of his youth and seemed a little insignificant.

Looking at the somewhat uneasy Booker, Phoenix sighed softly.

Then she raised her beautiful legs and feet and gave him a beautiful roundhouse kick on the butt.

Chapter 111 God's Promise

Booker, who was hit hard, finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"Hey, what are you doing...?!"

"I'll kick you!"

Before Booker could react, Phoenix kicked him in the face and stepped on him with his petite bare feet.

"You're just a human, why are you acting so profound? Celebrate if you win, and deal with it later if you lose. Stop acting like a jerk!"

"Yes, humans are weak, stupid, and even lack unity, but there are always people who won't give up hope. I just like this innocence—"

Booker's eyes flickered, but then dimmed.

The cruel reality taught him too much. A temporary encouragement would not be able to penetrate his heart.

"The devil cannot be defeated by just hoping."

"But we can't just give up hope and wait for death, right?"

The girl in scarlet pointed with a stick and raised her eyebrows.

"And, when that time comes, I will be the one to save humanity."

Booker was startled, then suddenly raised his head, a long-lost eager light in his eyes.

"You...promise?"

"Instead of giving me power, you plan to take action yourself to save humanity? But, aren't you unwilling?" Booker thought of the girl's resistance and disdain when they first met.

Phoenix didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile.

At this moment, Booker finally ignited hope: "Can you really do it?"

The girl smiled sweetly, as bright as fireworks.

"Who do you think I am?"

"Struggle with all your might. If, despite all your efforts, you are helpless, then when that moment comes, I will save humanity."

"Feel honored, mortal. This is the promise made to you by the noble gods."

As a "man from the future", Roy already knows the ending of the story.

[Six Heroes] killed the demon king and saved humanity.

Perhaps there was also the help of [Phoenix] behind this, but no matter what, they finally won a bright future.

Maybe Booker has his own regrets, but ultimately, there's more to this story than meets the eye, right?

Thinking of this, Roy felt quite relieved.

But at this moment, the scarlet girl suddenly turned around and sneered at him.

"Instead of sitting here reminiscing about the past, worry more about yourself, kid."

? !

The abruptness and horror of a two-dimensional character suddenly speaking to him made Roy unable to react for a moment.

The next moment, the memories of the past faded away like a candle flame. In the void of black and white, only the scarlet girl was still standing before him.

But her figure was gradually becoming blurred.

"You, you can see me?"

Phoenix ignored Roy's question and said, "This state can't be maintained for long. I'll make it short."

"Blood of the False King, you can't defeat the Undead General with any certainty now."

"However, thanks to the snack you sent me earlier—although it tasted average—my strength has recovered faster than expected, so I can advance some of your protection."
