Chapter 118 The Hero Who Faces the Unknown



Chapter 118 The Hero Who Faces the Unknown

As dusk approaches, the sky is warm and inviting. The fields are vast and empty, without wind or waves. The last birds have disappeared into the forest, and the water beasts have retreated to their caves. This world should be returning to a state of tranquility.

The howling and running of the knight wolves became the main activity at sunset. After completing the task of warning the various monster races, the knight wolves leaped up the mountain and had the wolf riders cast fireworks magic towards the sky to send messages.

After a burst of fireworks from the mountaintop, messages were sent out from the forests, open fields, and riverbanks, announcing the official end of the Wolf Knights' mission.

Fireworks flashed and shone brightly in the twilight sky, their beams blocking the spreading black mist. Inside the guild, Ajiu showed Yaohui their research results: this magic array could block non-material energy bodies.

"That's really impressive. It can even intercept energy entities?"

"Of course, with the experience gained from previous research on anti-earth escape techniques, the guild has made great progress in its ability to control energy bodies. As long as we find an entity similar to the target energy body and then analyze and reverse-engineer it, we can achieve the goal of interception!"

"To achieve this in just two days is amazing! Did you know the guild had so many hidden mages?"

"Well... actually, someone provided very important help for this research, although I don't really want to mention him."

Ajiu's hesitation made Yaohui suspicious. Before Yaohui could ask Ajiu for clarification, Luo Yi took the initiative to approach and greet the hero with a smile.

"Oh, it's so good that you're satisfied with my research results, Hero. I didn't have to endure so many disdainful looks from the guild these past two days. Hahaha... Now I've finally helped you, Hero."

Luo Yi remained in his usual leisurely state, then casually mentioned the fact that he was discriminated against by the guild, which made A Jiu, who was standing to the side, both angry and ashamed. However, Luo Yi had made a significant contribution to the research on the restraint of energy bodies, which made A Jiu even less reason to drive him away.

"You were the one who helped, Luo Yi? How did you do that?"

"Nothing special. I'm just sharing my monster-catching skills to provide the guild with material on the Shadows so they can find a way to counter them. It's that simple."

"You're offering your skills to the guild for research? Aren't you being a bit too ambitious? Aren't you afraid of suffering losses because of this later?"

"Oh my, the hero is actually concerned about me. I'm so touched. But what does this loss matter as long as it can help the hero? Dedicating myself to the hero's cause is already within my mind."

The happier and more triumphant Luo Yi was, the more resentful and oppressive A Jiu felt. Seeing that Luo Yi still wanted to come closer, A Jiu pushed him away and then stood in front of Yao Hui to block Luo Yi.

"You did help the guild, Luo Yi, but you're still not allowed to get close to Haruki and Zeta. I won't give you any chance to cause trouble! As long as I'm here, you can forget about it!"

Ajiu glared at Luo Yi with a huff, her eyes becoming serious and her tone unambiguous. Yao Hui didn't quite understand Ajiu's behavior. Neither Yao Hui nor Zeta were actually good at interacting with the opposite sex, so they could only stare helplessly at Ajiu's unusual behavior.

Luo Yi wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he appreciated A Jiu's excitement. She was more competent as the hero's partner than Luo Yi had imagined, and the guild's decision to send her to accompany the hero was absolutely right.

"Competitors are indeed enemies; this saying is absolutely true."

"What do you mean by this, Luo Yi?"

"I didn't mean anything by it. I just said that if I were you, I would do the same thing, maybe even more extreme, hahaha."

Luo Yi harbored no ill will towards A Jiu, at least he wouldn't target her. However, as for the other so-called Light Stone Warriors, Luo Yi would not show mercy. Those humans who stole the power of the Warriors did not deserve his pity; they were not Warriors that Luo Yi recognized at all.

"What do you think it feels like to be a hero, Sean?"

"Are you asking about the Light Magic Stone, Zhaoyu? I heard from Yaohui and the others that the second Light Magic Stone most likely chose you. As long as you get the Light Stone back, you can become a true hero."

At the end of the night's operation, Zhao Yu met with Sean in the guild's library. Closing the Monster Quotes Encyclopedia in her hand, Zhao Yu wanted to understand more about her responsibilities before the official operation.

"Actually, I can't really describe what it feels like to become a hero. When I first saw the Light Stone, I wasn't excited at all. Instead, I was very puzzled and in awe of it."

However, when I needed to become stronger to rescue my friends, I truly felt the power and healing that the Light Stone brought. The Light Stone responded to my strongest wish at that time, successfully helped me save my friends, and later fought alongside Zeta.

When Sean was thinking about how he used the power of the Light Stone, he spoke his true thoughts, hoping to help Zhao Yu and doing his best to help his partner share some of the pressure.

"What if you encounter a field you know nothing about? What if you get scared in a completely unfamiliar environment... wouldn't that be a burden to those around you...?"

With her head down and brows furrowed, Zhao Yu anxiously expressed her worries. Compared to the other brave and skilled warriors, she was completely powerless, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the weakest among them all.

"Well, I don't have any relevant experience, but Haruki does. After all, he comes from another world, and everything in our world is unfamiliar to Haruki and Zeta."

Magic and beasts, things that are commonplace in our world, are rare and wondrous sights in the eyes of Haruki and Zeta. But even if the surrounding environment defies their understanding, even if the things around them are extraordinary...

Haruki and Zeta persevered, continuing to help those in need and persisting as heroes to share the light.

Since Sean couldn't answer Zhaoyu's questions himself, he told her about Yaohui and Zeta's experiences, hoping it would help her.

"I was also very uneasy when I first learned that I was going to become a hero. To relieve my stress, A-Ku told me about her previous adventures with Haruki and Zeta. Facing Haruki, who had no common sense about this world, A-Ku was like taking care of a child."

Afterwards, A-Kyu talked to me many times about how troublesome the situation was, but through Haruki's words, I learned about A-Kyu's patient and considerate side. Although she was still a bit immature, Haruki and Zeta were both tolerant of her.

"Thinking about it this way, Haruki and Zeta are actually under the most pressure! How come I didn't realize it before..."

With a change of perspective, Zhao Yu found a way to resolve her worries: tolerance and understanding are often not as difficult as we imagine; all that's needed is some resonance.

As the sun set and night fell, the moonlight in the sky dimmed, and lights flickered on the ground. Zhao Yu and Xiao En looked up at the gathering lights outside the window. The conquest of darkness would soon be initiated by them, these mortals.
