The huge werewolf roared, and a powerful pressure swept around. Its sharp teeth emitted a blood-red light. In the blink of an eye, it came in front of Vokris and pounced on Vokris's head.
"[Golden Shield Blessing]"
At the critical moment, several shields made of holy light flew in front of Vokris and continued to rotate around Vokris.
Some of the werewolf's teeth were knocked off by the rotating light shield and it jumped back.
Priest Tara manipulated the golden shield to flip up and unfold. The shield that had just protected people instantly turned into a rotating cutting knife.
The werewolf dodged, but was still a beat too slow. The huge golden shield cut a large gash on its forehead, and countless blood gushed out from the wound, flowing along the werewolf's long snout into its eyes.
His vision became blurred, and the werewolf shook his head, spilling the blood on his forehead.
Seizing this opportunity, the harpy hovering in the sky folded its wings, swooped down suddenly, and pierced the werewolf's back with its sharp feet.
Howling in pain, the werewolf swung his body around, trying to throw the harpy off him.
Habib Yixuan flapped his wings violently and flew into the sky.
Catching the harpy's movement, the werewolf stood up again and swung its claws to attack the harpy. At this moment, a bottle filled with red liquid flew in front of it.
The werewolf's sharp claws easily smashed the bottle, and the blood-red liquid gushed out, turning into thick red smoke, completely engulfing the werewolf.
The pungent gas penetrated into the werewolf's nasal cavity, and the werewolf felt extremely uncomfortable all over. He could feel that his strength was being taken away by the gas, but he could do nothing about it.
"Lord Vokris, it's now!"
Hearing Princess Aina's voice, Vokris clenched the sword in his hand and forced himself to stop shaking.
He must fight and become stronger, because this world is not as simple as he imagined.
Before, he always arrogantly thought that he was the protagonist.
But, he was wrong.
In this world, there is no such thing as a protagonist or a supporting role.
Many people think they are born special, but they never are.
In the end, being a hero is just a title.
If you do not have the strength of a hero and cannot complete the hero's mission, you will lose the qualifications of a hero.
If you have the strength of a hero and can complete the mission of a hero, everyone is a hero.
Although he is still called a hero, Walkris knows that it is just an empty title.
In the past, I valued reputation so much and thought that I could achieve immediate success as long as I had the title of a hero. How unreasonable it was.
What is the difference between this and my parents in my previous life who believed that “as long as I study hard, I can get first in the grade,” “as long as I get first in the grade, I will definitely be admitted to a good university,” and “as long as I can get into a good university, I will definitely have a bright future.”!
In my previous life, I was labeled countless times by others, and they thought that people with these labels should be like this or that.
But I am different from what they imagined.
Throughout this life, we have labeled ourselves and others countless times, and we believe that people who are labeled should be like this or that.
But I and they are different from what I imagined.
How does it feel to know that you are classified as a certain type of person and to be forcibly labeled with a label that is completely inconsistent with yourself? Why do you want to rely on labels to define other people when you come to this world, and have to forcibly apply certain people's stereotypes to someone else
Why do you still do it when you know it is wrong
As he questioned himself again and again, a silver light flashed on the blade of Vorkis' sword.
There were no fancy special effects, nor any extremely long pre-swing. Walkris plunged into the red smoke, swinging his sword continuously, as if he wanted to vent all his accumulated pressure, and started fighting with the werewolf.
Seeing this scene, Princess Aina put away the other potions she was going to use.
When Vokris stayed indoors, Princess Aina really thought something would happen.
In order to save this world, a brave man is indispensable.
The heroes are selected by the Village of Heroes. Although we don't know what their selection criteria are, Walkris's initial performance did not seem like that of a hero.
Princess Aina, who used to obey the hero in everything, now has a tragically thick barrier between her and Vokris because of what Vokris did.
In Princess Ina's opinion, Walkris' life would be like that. His terrible, self-centered character would eventually lead to failure.
Princess Aina even began to think about what to do if the hero died midway.
Since ancient times, there has been no record of a hero failing or dying, but according to rumors, not all heroes who leave the village are the ones who defeat the Demon King.
Perhaps, the Village of Brave has already prepared spare brave men.
If this hero is not capable, another hero will take his place. As long as the demon king can be defeated, everything will be fine.
Perhaps just to prevent panic, they deliberately did not announce the fact that the hero had been replaced.
To put it another way, we could say that the first hero sent out was a fake, whose purpose was to draw the Demon King's firepower.
Seeing that the hero had lost the game because of his arrogance, Princess Aina showed concern on the surface, but secretly she was ready to run away.
If Walkris hasn't gotten over the shadow in a month, then give up on him.
However, after watching Yang Yu's game, Walkris' mood seemed to have changed, and now he finally looks like a brave man again.
Therefore, Princess Aina decided to observe further.
Unfortunately, with Walkris' current strength and the current team, saving the world is extremely difficult.
Princess Aina has reported Vokris's situation back to the country through an informant, explaining that the current heroes are not strong enough to destroy the Demon King immediately after his arrival.
If you want to ensure national security, you must pay a certain price.
Every time the devil comes, the world will experience a period of collapse of varying lengths. The original order will collapse, and a new order will be rebuilt on the wasteland.
If the country can maintain stability and survive the advent of the Demon King and the collapse of order, Setis will have unprecedented opportunities for development.
In order to achieve this goal and restore the glory of our ancestors, brave men are an indispensable and important bargaining chip.
As long as the possibility remains, Princess Aina will not abandon Vocris.
The fierce battle slowly came to an end. The slightly exhausted Vokris supported his body with his sword, breathing heavily, and the huge werewolf fell to the ground.
Vokris finally relied on the strength of his team and successfully defeated the guardian of the eighth level of the underground maze.
