Starting with the fall of Amon, the world gradually fell into chaos and entered the Dark Ages.
Due to its vast territory, Country E where Laux is located has been suddenly attacked by Amon time and time again.
As soon as the E country's army "entered" Amon away, various organizations that wanted to take advantage of the situation swarmed in.
The army of Country E was busy and had no way to stop Country E from following the trend of the world and falling into chaos.
In just a few months, countless people were displaced, the whole country was in mourning, and the people were living in misery.
In such a desperate situation, people once again placed their hopes on the brave.
No one knows who leaked the hero's residence. Countless refugees and believers poured into the area where the hero was training, praying that the hero could save their lives.
Various princes and ministers also kept sending people to inquire about the brave man's situation, hoping that the brave man would come out again as soon as possible to put an end to Ammon's rampage.
After several months of recuperation, Laux got better.
As soon as he got better, Laux ignored the doctor's advice, stood up, took his weapons and equipment, left his home amid the kneeling of everyone, and went to fight Ammon.
Amon's posture was very different from the one Yang Yu saw in the underground maze. There was not a bit of warmth in him.
Amon was wrapped in a black aura and wore a nearly two-meter-long black armor. A huge and twisted black metal horn was coiled on his head. The iron chains hanging on the armor made a crackling sound. His every move was full of murderousness and destruction, and the biting cold made it hard to breathe.
It seems that if you are not careful, you will be trapped in eternal darkness by this dark knight.
Standing in front of his old friend again, Laux did not launch an attack immediately, but instead began a heartfelt conversation.
Yang Yu learned from the conversation between Laux and Amon that Amon had once turned evil. At that time, with the encouragement of Laux, Amon regained his confidence, abandoned the darkness and embraced the light.
Laux firmly believes that Amon can once again overcome his inner self, escape from the darkness, and complete his transformation.
Even if the darkness this time is deeper than the last time.
However, the opposite happened.
Laux's verbal attacks were completely ineffective. Amon completely lost his self-awareness, with only destruction, devastation and ruin remaining in his mind.
As a last resort, Laux had to fight.
In the first fight, Laux broke his right hand and managed to repel Amon for a while.
In the second fight, the darkness in Aemon was even worse than the last time. Laux continued to persuade him earnestly, but it was still useless. He only managed to repel Aemon at the cost of completely breaking both of his legs.
In the third fight, Laux still refused to give up. This time, all his limbs were broken. If the Elf Queen Mingtu Saiqiut had not arrived in time and shot an arrow to drive away the fallen Aemon, Laux would have almost died.
Perhaps the fallen Amon is able to draw power from the dead, and he is becoming stronger as time goes by.
If we don't make up our minds to completely eradicate Amon, one day he will become something that even the brave cannot defeat.
By then, the world will fall completely into darkness.
Mingtu Saiqiute suggested to Laux that he gather his old companions and recruit warriors from all over the world to form a crusade team.
Laux rejected Mingtu Saiqiute's proposal, saying that he had not used his true strength in order to awaken Amon before. Next time, he would make a final attempt. If it still didn't work, he would use all his strength to kill Amon.
Mingtu Saiqiute once doubted Laux's statement, but finally chose to believe Laux.
After all, Laux had led them to defeat the Demon King.
Before the final battle, Laux received a thorough treatment from Mingtu Saichu.
Mingtu Saiqiute also took out the elf's secret treasure and temporarily adjusted Laux's condition to the best.
Afterwards, Laux visited Izo's wife and met the boy with star eyes.
The two of them went to the wide lawn for a picnic together.
Through various things he heard and saw, the boy gradually learned the true identity of his beloved uncle, and he had always wanted to find an opportunity to ask him about it.
He was very happy that his uncle came over on his own initiative this time, but at the same time he felt a little uneasy.
"Uncle Laux, are you the brave man who once defeated the Demon King?"
"Yeah." Laux admitted it very straightforwardly.
"I thought my uncle would shirk responsibility, which would make the evidence I collected useless."
"I'm not going to hide it, and being a hero isn't a very impressive profession." Laux smiled, and then he sighed a little tiredly, "Being a hero is very tiring. After being a hero once, I don't want to be one again."
"I can see that. The burden of saving the world has once again fallen on uncle's shoulders." The boy patted his chest, "Take me with you. As I grow older, my eyes can see more and more things that others can't see. I can definitely help uncle."
Laux shook his head and said, “If you could really see, you would know the difference between you and me, it’s like the difference between the sun and the firefly.
My enemy is an invisible endless darkness. The sun can illuminate the darkness, but the small fluorescence will only be swallowed by the darkness.
Your bloodline is very special, and you are the only one left in your clan.
It’s a little early, but you should also think about how to start branching out.”
"It's too early for me to get married. Besides, my uncle has never considered getting married. I have always felt that you and my mother are a good match, and I don't mind having more brothers and sisters."
Laux smiled bitterly again, "I have my own situation. I..."
As he spoke, Laux raised his head and looked up at the blue sky, as if he was recalling the past.
“.I can’t stay outside forever, I must go to the Village of Brave.
That's where the brave men belong
After I go there, I don’t know what kind of fate awaits me.
perhaps
I will never see anyone from outside again.”
"Uncle, you have completed the mission of a hero very well. Why don't you have the right to go outside? I don't want to be away from my uncle!" The boy said in panic. He obviously couldn't accept this result.
Laux patted the boy’s head and said, “The adult world is very complicated.
You will understand when you grow up.
Now that your starry vision has improved, let me ask you, what is the world like that you see
I have something from your father. If your star eyes are qualified, I will give it to you.
If you fail, you have to try again.
If you still haven't met the standards by the time I leave, I will entrust your things to someone reliable for safekeeping.
When you grow up, the treasure that symbolizes your family heritage will definitely return to your hands."
