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

What a beautiful creature! Even the snow elves formed from frost and snow in ancient times were probably no more beautiful than this, right?

"For my demon clan's first battle against the human world, it's a bit boring. But it's not bad to be able to add the bloodline of [Ice Soul], the daughter of Karstark, to my collection."

"Don't even think about it, you demon bastard!"

The demons' insult to the lord is an insult to all warriors and even the human race.

The old earl roared angrily, and the exhausted soldiers once again burst out with the bloodiness of imperial warriors, brandishing their weapons at the undead in front of them.

The fallen warriors, the endless undead, the flying snow stained with blood and no longer pure white, and the Lich Queen, the Empress of the Undead, who was high above, watching all this with a cold and sneering look.

Anisas, who should have died with his father, is still alive. This is simply the cruelest joke in the world.

This time, no one could offer her protection. As a border lord and the daughter of a duke, she had to stand on the front lines.

"What my father couldn't do, I will do."

The silver-haired girl looked determined and waved her hand violently.

The raging snow and wind condensed into a glacier tens of meters high, like a giant white whale, piercing through the tide of undead corpses and heading towards the bone giant.

[Ice Soul] The essence of bloodline, ice-blue [Eternal Ice].

The same extreme cold that had once extinguished the evil god's fire now froze even the Titan's hand, momentarily freezing it. The Sequence 5's full-strength attack carried a terrifying force that was enough to change the sky and shake the very atmosphere.

However, the pale empress didn't even stand up, but just clapped her hands casually.

The gray flames belonging to the lich exploded out of nowhere, blasting the terrifying glacier into pieces and falling directly towards Jon Snow.

Jon Snow gritted his teeth and pushed [Absolute Zero] and [Eternal Ice] to the limit.

The Snow Peak Shield followed suit, but it only lasted for a moment before being shattered and withered by the impact of the gray flames.

At the critical moment, the silver wolf [Xiaobai] flashed by and knocked Jon Snow out.

The gray flames exploded, and the human army suffered a devastating blow.

Bathed in flames, the human warriors were transformed alive into the undead.

Silver Wolf fainted from the powerful impact.

In the suffocating breath of the undead, Jon Snow, who had over-exerted his energy, lay on the ground, and his consciousness finally began to become blurred.

It is impossible to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings.

Even if it was just a projection, it was still a high-level transcendent. Even if there were a hundred thousand troops in front of her, they were just a number in front of her.

Only high-level can deal with high-level.

Even if they tried their best, they could only buy time.

But, is this enough?

Roy is safe now...

A familiar chill came over her, depriving her of consciousness and vitality.

Jon Snow seemed to be back in that winter night when she was alone.

But at least she no longer has to witness the people she cherishes leave her.

I raised my head with difficulty, but saw that the sky was covered with thick gray fog, and not even a ray of sunlight could penetrate.

Endless darkness, this was the last scene he saw before his death.

Jon Snow couldn't help but close his eyes bitterly.

If possible, she would like to go back to New Year's Eve.

Even though the snow was dancing outside the window, she could still bask in the glow of the fire, drink a simple hot soup, and quietly harbor the "inappropriate thoughts" that a mentor should not have for an apprentice. She would snuggle up to him, lazily, leisurely, and warmly spend the long night with only the two of them.

Unfortunately, just like the last piece of firewood eventually dissipated in the cold night, everything ended here -

Until the piercing thunder shook the sky.

The golden arrow flew across the ground at a rapid speed, snatching the silver-haired girl from the grasp of the bone giant.

"That is......?!"

The warriors led by Barry couldn't help but look up, recalling the deadly battle last night. It was the golden lightning that triggered their most powerful counterattack.

The Undead Queen slowly raised her head, the pale fire in her deep eyes condensed with interest, and she felt a hint of curiosity about this daring provocateur.

In mid-air, the silver-haired girl who was held captive by Roy had a frosty expression on her face. She squeezed out the strength from her dying state and shouted coldly.

"Damn it! Why did you come back? You traitor!"

Roy raised his eyebrows and smiled, feeling fresh as he was scolded by a girl for the first time.

"Teacher Jon Snow, there's a saying that goes, 'What goes around comes around.' You, the mentor, don't even keep your promises. If I even slightly disobey your orders, I'll seem like your apprentice."

"you......"

Jon Snow choked, but grabbed his clothes and buried his head deeply behind him.

The reason why he came back was actually very simple.

"You traitor..."

The trembling sound of snow soaked the boy's back.

Chapter 121 (Part 2)

Above the giant's head, the pale empress glanced at the black-haired boy and let out a sneer that could not be suppressed.

"I never thought I'd see Iron Blood in the Empire."

"Unfortunately, I already have the Iron Blood collection. I don't need your kind."

Hurricane Madness.

The golden-winged griffin was twisting and turning under the giant's hands, while screaming loudly: "Brother, it seems that now is not the time to talk about love!"

Seeing the huge palm tearing the atmosphere apart with overwhelming force and crashing down, the golden-winged griffin was so frightened that its fur stood on end.

The silver-haired girl immediately hugged the boy tightly in her arms, instinctively wanting to protect him.

However, golden flames flashed in the black-haired boy's eyes.

The drifting snowflakes, the swirling mist, the descending giant palm, the sneer of the pale empress, the madly screaming golden-winged griffin, and the silver-haired girl who hugged him tightly without caring about her own comfort, all of these seemed to be frozen and stagnant.

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

The gray sky was swallowed up by the golden light and shadow, and gradually swayed into another scene.

The scene belongs to the [Third Age] hundreds of years ago.

The [Six Heroes] led the human race to defeat the Demon King and save humanity. That was history that Roy knew all too well.

But the hellish scene unfolding before him was completely contrary to what Roy knew.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and filled with smoke.

On the endless plains, demons sneered cruelly, the undead trampled mercilessly, and the Zerg ran rampant. In front of them, humans were defeated and fell into the most desperate situation.

The indomitable Berserker remained standing and stopped breathing.

The seriously injured [Holy Sister] was also dragged off the front line by members of the church and fell into a coma.

The [Golden King] who refused to surrender was brutally dismembered by the traitors of the human race and presented to the Demon King.

The proud Sword Saint ignored the lost holy sword and just held the deceased Illusion Fox in his arms, his empty eyes losing focus.

These are tragedies that are not even mentioned in history books.

At the forefront of the defeated human army, the great magician was only middle-aged, but his hair was already gray. His skinny body seemed like it would be crushed at any time, and he was no longer able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of a hero.

The scarlet girl stood quietly beside him, also looking at the land eroded by the demons, unable to speak for a long time.

"This is the end of us." Booker sighed hoarsely and weakly, then lowered his head.

"We cannot defeat the Demon King, and humans cannot defeat the demons. This battle was destined to be like this from the beginning."

"Even if you are ranked high and have glimpsed divine power, you are ultimately no match for a true demigod."

Booker raised his head and looked at the girl beside him, finally realizing why she had rejected him.

"Finny, you actually knew we couldn't win, so you didn't want to help, right?"

Phoenix met his gaze, her enigmatic smile unchanged, her attitude as relaxed as ever: "It's not over yet. It's too early to say that now."

But Booker shook his head.

After years of living together, he can now see the sincerity behind the scarlet eyes.

The moment Phoenix's eyes were dazed, he knew he was right.

"Legend has it that the Phoenix deeply loves the world. Seeing the one you love go through a losing battle must be very cruel for you." Booker paused for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

"This is the end of the human race, and this is the end of our agreement..."

Booker's lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say the word "goodbye".

Is it because you don't want to give up the hope of divine power?

Or is it because you simply don't want to say goodbye to Phoenix forever?

The Sage is known for his profound knowledge of magic, but he is ultimately unable to understand his own emotions.

However, a light laugh came from beside him.

"You hold me close to you when you need me, and drive me away when you don't. Boy, you really don't respect the gods!"

The boy stood on tiptoe.

As Booker stared in astonishment, a slender fingertip rested on his forehead.

"Boy, I said that when you humans are powerless, I will save you. Now is the time."

The promise of salvation, the power of the gods, the legendary phoenix that ignites itself in the face of catastrophic destruction to illuminate the world. That was also Booker's hope.

But Booker is no longer the reckless and ignorant young wizard, nor is he the mortal who fanatically believes in God.

It is precisely because he has entered a higher level and shortened the distance between himself and God that he can see more.

Booker's expression darkened. "Don't be ridiculous, Finny. How much strength do you have left? If you really do this...!"

Before he could finish, golden flames appeared on the girl's body.

The immense divine power was like a giant pillar reaching the sky, piercing through the dark clouded sky.

The demons wrapped in flames and the empress surrounded by liches could not help but tremble in fear at this power. Even the true king who was above the thousands of demons could not help but frown and feel threatened.

The warm power spread among the human warriors like a spark of fire, not only injecting them with courage and hope, but also bringing them real power.

"My strength is back!"

"No, it's not recovery, our strength is stronger than before!"

"It is said that the Sage has a deal with the gods. Could this be the power of the gods?"

"This is a miracle, this is a miracle!"

The wounded nun woke up from her coma and climbed to the front line again despite everyone's dissuasion.

The sad swordsman kissed the fox girl in his arms for the last time and gripped the holy sword again.

The humans in desperate situation did not give up the last chance. With the blessing of Phoenix Flame, they launched a final counterattack.

Countless sparks eventually became a prairie fire, and the golden flames covered the entire battlefield, as if burning away the merciless darkness.

However, at the same time, the girl's figure gradually became blurred in front of Booker.

"Phoenix, Phoenix!"

Booker panicked and tried to hug the girl in front of him, but in vain he passed through the illusory shadows and could only watch her sink into nothingness like a gradually fading flame.

It was not until this moment that Roy woke up from his dream.

The Phoenix died long ago.

From beginning to end, Booker was accompanied by only a remnant of his soul. However, due to the nature of its power, the Phoenix's soul was more powerful than demigods like the Dragon King and True Ancestor, so it was able to maintain a clear mind.

That's why there's no record of Phoenix in history. She only appears to Booker, and the barbecue she once held was nothing more than an illusion imitating human behavior.

Helping Booker reach a higher level is already Phoenix's limit.
