Bang!
As the last Goliath's crystal was pierced through by Fleeting Time's dagger and dissipated, the eighteenth level returned to its normal appearance.
The blood-red crystal stone had returned to its original color. The monsters were no longer violent. Of course, it was difficult to find these mutated monsters in the entire level.
"Guild Leader, you're really too strong!”
The Adventurers had gathered to defend against Goliath's camp, and the gates were slowly opening. The first to rush out and greet Fleeting Year was not Sister Bright Night or Hestia, but Bale.
"Little brother, you did it."
Bright Night stood behind Bale and Hestia, quietly watching Fleeting Year, who was surrounded and thrown into the sky like a hero. He put his hands together, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
"Hey, hey, don't touch my Liunian. Don't you know that she needs to recuperate after a big battle? You'll break his body if you do this!”
When the adventurers heard Hestia's protective words, they all laughed out loud. In their eyes, a man who could kill so many violent monsters alone did not look like such a weak guy. However, they could not refute the fact that the gods loved their people.
"What an amazing achievement. This time, no one will doubt his achievements. Under such circumstances, even an ordinary Level5 player wouldn't be able to handle it.”
Hermes stood behind the crowd and stared at Fleeting Year with his captain's burning eyes. Then he looked at Bell beside Fleeting Year, and finally looked in the direction of Bright Night. In a low voice that no one could hear, he said,
"Zeus, your grandson, the last adventurer of your kin is not as incompetent as you say. He is an unpolished jade. After meeting a good master, he will eventually become useful.
Moreover, by following such an amazing hero, his achievements were already unimaginable. However, just which god was this? Why didn't I have any information about her at all?”
Fleeting Year walked out from the crowd of adventurers and came in front of Hestia. His ink-like black eyes stared at Hestia.
"Lady Hestia, now, can you tell me who forced you to use your Divine Decree?”
" Captain, nothing happened to Lady Hestia. It was all because of me. They wanted to teach me a lesson using the rules of adventurers, so they kidnapped Lady Hestia, lured me out, and beat me up. However, Lady Hestia was not hurt at all. I only have a slight external injury, so can we just forget about this matter?”
Bale sincerely begged Fleeting Year for mercy on behalf of the group of adventurers who had been isolated. Liu, Lily, and Wilf Crozo, the blacksmith who had just formed a team with Bale, watched quietly from the side.
"Is this all that happened?”
Liu Nian covered his head with one hand and lowered his head. His body trembled slightly as if he was in pain.
"Should I kill them?"
He glanced at the few mercenaries who were standing nervously at the side waiting for punishment. A small and exquisite dagger suddenly appeared in his empty hand. He held it tightly as if he was asking himself,
"Don't be like this, Leader. Although they were indeed rude to Lady Hestia, they didn't really dare to offend her. They were only here for me, so Leader, don't lower yourself to their level.”
Should I kill them, or should I do as Bale said and spare their lives on account that they didn't dare to offend Lady Hestia and fight the monster?
A trace of black gas flashed in Liu Nian's eyes, and a violent killing intent gushed out of his body, scaring the group of mercenaries into trembling.
However, was that not enough reason to kill them?
A trace of hesitation flashed through Liu Nian's heart. The faces of Ah Ma and Ling Meng appeared before his eyes, and his hand that was tightly gripping the dagger slowly loosened.
Liunian didn't want to stand beside them with his hands stained with the blood of sin.
Yes, this kind of mood was not right. Without a heart of stone, how could one protect the people they loved in the face of evil people and thousands of demons?
But, but how could he make his heart turn cold because of this? How could he become such a person?
His desire to protect Lady Hestia was entangled with his own rationality and his mother's teachings, causing him to be unable to make a decision in a short period of time. Could it be that he would just punish them a little and let it go? But what about in the future? If someone did such a thing again, what should he do? Should he forgive them every time?
Mother, what should Liunian do?
"You're really a little fool. In the end, you're just a child who needs my care and guidance.”
At some point, Bright Night had already passed through the crowd and came to Fleeting Year's side. He gently held Fleeting Year's body in his arms.
"Protecting the people you want to protect doesn't depend on killing decisively, nor does it depend on distinguishing gratitude and hatred. I know it's still a little early to tell you this, but one day, you will understand. Liunian, now is not the time to be conflicted about these things. Only by becoming stronger can you have the qualifications to protect them. At that time, whether you want to kill them or let them go is just a choice between thoughts, so don't be conflicted. Make your choice according to your own heart. I will always stand by your side.”
Fleeting Year looked up into Bright Night's eyes. He really wanted to ask why Bright Night could understand his inner struggle so well, but she still let it go in the end. When Bright Night wanted to tell him, she would definitely tell him those secrets.
After thinking for a while, Liu Nian's expression changed. He turned around and looked at the few people who were almost suffocated by the tense atmosphere. His cold voice sounded in the silent crowd.
"Each of you can get lost after you cut off one of your arms that kidnapped my Lady Hestia.”
