Accius 'bleeding shoulders trembled slightly as he watched Miragen being sent flying by the rock.

It was too terrifying…He did not expect that dragging the Beast King up the mountain would be a huge mistake!

The beast king that was chased by the two of them to the mountain began to occupy the advantage of the host. The surrounding trees, boulders, and crumbling bridges became the basis for the battle between the demons.

In the inconspicuous stream, in the barely visible crevices of the earthen rocks, in the complicated secret passages formed by nature, the strong wind formed by the heavy punches and flying kicks made the two of them tremble and shake, both physically and mentally exhausted.

Even the [S] class Mirajen couldn't avoid being severely injured by the double destruction of her spirit and body. If Accius had not used his powerful battle instincts and rich experience in close combat as a radar, as well as his all-out protection at all costs, it would have been difficult for things to end so easily…

Mirajen, behind!

While Mirazhen was still panting, a heavy punch came from the rock behind her, smashing her body to the ground. The ground rippled like water, and the Demon Dweller's Soul of Satan was forced back to its original state.

Mirajen, are you alright? I'll be right... Porter, what are you doing?

Elfman walked toward The Beast with a determined expression. He raised his hands slightly, and a magic array was gradually formed.

I'm going to... Protect her sister!

Elfman's body gradually merged with the Beast King. Elfman, who was no different from a gorilla, had officially become a true ape.

However, Accius could not smile at all…A tragedy had happened!

The powerful magic power had completely devoured Elfman's consciousness. At this moment, he was truly completely absorbed. The Beast King even used his body to recover the vision of his right eye.

Ha ~ ha ~

In the dark valley, Accius had no choice but to hold his breath as he smelled the stench of the Beast King.

Damn trash! You will only make the situation worse! Accius shouted, but the monster in front of him clearly didn't understand. He punched out heavily.

There was no other way…He could only kill Elfman!

Giant Blade Form! Accius charged forward with all his might and slammed Elfman into the rock wall.

Very good! Now that he had just received it, the fusion of his body was not perfect enough... Kill him!

Accius attacked again and again. At this moment, a colorful bird flew over from the sky filled with sand and dust.

Sister Mila! What happened?

Lisana! Go and stop Accius, he wants to kill Elfman!

Lisana's expression changed and she quickly rushed towards Accius. As she moved, she turned into a big purple rabbit and jumped up high. She jumped behind Accius and pulled him back fiercely.

In the midst of the chaos, the Beast King's heavy fist smashed the stone and crushed Accius 'right foot…

Lisana! What do you think you're doing! Accius roared angrily. This monster isn't your brother Elfman, but The Beast King who has harmed the masses! If we didn't knock him down, if we let him go like this, what would happen to the villagers outside who you just cried for? As a sorcerer, he had forgotten his mission. Forgetting his mission was not allowed! "Our mission is to hunt down the Beast King. Since your brother has become the Beast King and has lost his mind, we must kill him and complete our mission. Instead of huddling up in a corner and feeling sorry for yourself like your sister, you know?

I understand, big brother Accius! When Accius turned around, Lisana stepped on his scarred right foot…

Accius, whose leg was injured by the heavy trampling, screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

'I'm sorry…' Brother Accius, but I will definitely make my brother return to normal!

Lisana resolutely walked towards Elfman.

Brother Elfman, what's wrong? It's me…I'm Lisana, your dearest sister Lisana! Lisana's warm smile that was like the sun hung on her cute face. It was as if the monster in front of her was really her brother. It was as if the calamity in front of her did not exist. Lisana's smile became even brighter…Let's go home!

...

Roar!

At this moment, it was as if a slow-motion replay had started. Lisana's faint smile, Miragen and Accius's roars, and the monster's killing intent were all played in slow motion. The huge palm that was as tall as a child slowly, slowly, mercilessly…

Lisana!

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

Although Lisana's death brought us endless grief and sorrow... However, the people who were still alive had to endure their tears and pain and bravely continue to move forward…

Makarov's bleak voice stirred up everyone's emotions. Everyone in the guild rushed over to attend Lisana's funeral.

Milazhen and Elfman, who were standing at the front, looked calm. The tears had long dried up, the pain had long been fully borne; Regret lingered in his heart for a long time like a nightmare…

After the sad funeral, everyone started discussing.

Accius didn't come!

After all, even for him, this kind of thing was too painful, right? Moreover, he was also injured…

The hospital said that he was discharged two days ago…

Milazhen and Elfman's expressions changed slightly. It was not because they were angry that he did not attend, but because they were deeply worried.

Could it be?

A few hours later, on a flat rock in the forest near the tombstone, the two of them finally saw Accius. Although it seemed to be the same as usual, upon closer inspection, one could feel a trace of desolation, a trace of desolation, and a trace of indistinct sadness.

Accius! Mirajen, who was wearing a long dress, pulled him up and slapped him hard.

What are you doing? Was he planning to starve to death here to apologize for Lisana's death? Mirazhen's eyes were a little red as she sobbed and continued,"I don't want to see anyone die again…" I really don't want to see it again! Please wake up!

I'm not regretting it…Accius said calmly. He was thinking, questioning, and hesitating…

Accius struggled a little and pulled his wet off-white shirt away from Mirazhen's hands. He continued to ask calmly," Do you remember when I told Lisana that other people's business is other people's business, not mine?"

Accius ignored Mirazhen and Elfman's shocked expressions and continued to speak. However, no matter how hard I tried, how hard I tried to forget, how hard I tried to convince myself, the death of others had nothing to do with me. No matter how hard I tried to deceive myself, the dew on my face was just dew and rain. However, the salty and bitter taste from the tip of my tongue made me know that I was just deceiving myself…

'Why…' In the past, many people had died in front of me, and I had even killed quite a number of them with my own hands…Why didn't I grieve for them? Why didn't I grieve for them? Yet, he had to endure such heart-wrenching pain?

Why is it that the rule of survival that I've been taught and implemented all these years is so unbearable and makes me suffer so much?

In the end, I'm just a physically and mentally weak person…I just kept putting on new cold-blooded masks in an attempt to cover up my incompetence and powerlessness! In the end, I couldn't do anything…Nothing changed…He had even deceived himself! In the end, all he had was endless pain…

Looking at the helpless and stunned figure that had shrunk to the ground again due to her mental struggle, Mirajen slowly stretched out her hand.

This was nothing! Mirajen revealed a brilliant smile. You will feel pain and sadness. This only means that you are a living person, not a killing machine that only knows how to train and fight... You blame yourself and feel confused because the Lisana in your heart has a considerable status! It was like the feeling of loss and emptiness when the most precious treasure was stolen. Besides, since you're so pained and remorseful that you can't save Lisana…

Miragen pulled Accius up again and said with a smile,"Then let's live together with our brothers and sisters, bearing this pain and sorrow, and welcome every day with a smile!" Because from today onwards, we are not alone. We are carrying a part of Lisana's life! Lisana... She loved to smile!

Mirajen... Accius looked at Mirajen. Her bright smile was like a warm sun, illuminating Accius 'empty heart. His body once again felt the warmth from the outside.

Although I knew that she was probably crying in her heart, but... This smile, just this smile alone made me feel like I was saved…The feeling of being saved from guilt and powerlessness…

Accius stretched his muscles a little and left without saying another word to the two.

After the warm comfort, Mirajen and Elfman slowly walked back to the tombstone, preparing to hold the last night's wake for Lisana.

Lisana... Am I a useless person?

A soft voice drifted over from afar. The two of them quickly poked their heads out of the forest and peeked at Accius, who was standing straight in front of Lisana's grave.

I've never been willing to admit my weakness…He was like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, refusing to face reality and choosing to face the world in the wrong way. Speaking of which, you're the only one who's seen through my true nature! However, even though I am so useless and powerless, there are still people who care for me, cry for me, and laugh for me…That's your Sister Mila!

You can rest in peace in another world, Lisana! Accius 'tone became firm and steady as he smiled at Mirazhen.' I will protect you. This is my life oath!'

Accius left resolutely. Under the glow of the sunset, that slender back no longer seemed as desolate as before…

I will protect you, who will live on in Lisana's place!

I will definitely protect that smile!

Definitely!
