This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 621 Restart
"Sorry, Futaba, this was my mistake."

In the dark and damp cave, Elma, who was wearing heavy armor, unbuttoned her arm armor. Looking at the wound that penetrated into the bone marrow, she said with a wry smile, "I was careless."

This is a crucial battle, located in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range in Tarik, which has been occupied by the Demon King Army for three years.As long as this mountain range can be taken, Elma can completely regain the situation by planning a counterattack for nearly two years, trap the Demon King's army in the cold northern region, and further compress the front line.

The first half of this battle has been going smoothly. Whether it is the assassin team led by Futaba, or the vanguard army led by Elma, they have been victorious in the form of crushing. One-third of the entire mountain range was destroyed in less than a day It returned to the hands of the human legion within a short period of time.Just when the morale of the human legion was boosted and they were about to counterattack the entire mountain range in one go, reality gave everyone a head-on blow.

Torreya's strength is outrageous.

Futaba said nothing, just silently sprinkled the healing potion evenly on Elma's wound.Looking at the terrifying penetrating scar, after a moment of silence, Futaba said, "Zhou Li is right."

Elma was stunned for a long time, then she let out a long sigh, shook her head in relief or bitterness, and said softly: "Yes, he is right."

"The backbone of the Demon King's army has always been the Demon King, but we focused our attention on those monsters. He was right, but we were careless."

In the beginning, the victory on the frontal battlefield made Elma feel anxious.She really wanted to immediately block the Demon King's army from the northern border, so as to prevent that frightening famine from spreading to the whole world again.She once believed that the demon king's army that did not infect more humans with famine and the breath of the devil was not strong, and she could completely repel the demon king's army before everything happened and prevent the tragedy from happening again.

It wasn't until the demon king easily killed the coalition army on the battlefield with a scythe in hand, that Elma realized that the demon king's army was the army commanded by the demon king.

And the devil is the real source.

Strong is no longer enough to describe the strength of the Demon King. Elma only remembers that her three most elite legions gathered together can even compete with three god-given level powerhouses.But in front of that terrifying existence shrouded in black mist, the three legions didn't even hold out for 30 seconds in front of the Demon King.That is a unilateral massacre, without any skill at all, only crushing with pure strength.

This battle that was supposed to be an assault quickly turned into a breakout battle. In the end, only Elma and Futaba were left in the entire coalition.In order to cover Futaba, Elma forcibly took a sickle slash from the Demon King.If it weren't for the blessings of the twelve righteous gods, I'm afraid Elma would have been split into two.

Later, Futaba and Elma fled to a cave.Relying on the blessing bestowed by the God of Literature, Elma reluctantly transferred the spatial coordinates of the cave to an unknown area, avoiding the search of the Demon King's army.But the bad news is that Elma has already sensed the aura of that terrifying existence, and she will find this place in a short time.

Thinking of this, Elma looked at Futaba beside her, her eyes full of guilt.After three restarts, this girl named Futaba will appear by her side and become her most trusted partner.But every ending, she will usher in the end of death.

Am I... harming them?

Elma's heart ached, even though she knew that only she would retain consciousness in the restart, she still believed that every death of Futaba was caused by herself.If she hadn't met Futaba and led her into the human coalition, this unspoken girl might not have been killed on the battlefield, and she might have had her own ordinary but perfect life.

"sorry···"

Just when Futaba was planning what expression to use when meeting Elma in the next reincarnation, Elma suddenly spoke and said to Futaba, "Futaba, I'm sorry."

"it does not matter."

Futaba shook her head, she knew that even if she was killed, she would enter the next timeline and meet Elma again.So she didn't care about this death, but silently calculated what experience she had gained in her heart, and began to plan how to guide Elma to the right direction for the next restart.

However, Elma said again: "Futaba, I'm sorry, I bothered you every time."

"Ok?"

Futaba was stunned, she even thought she was exposed, and Elma knew that she could retain her memory in the restart.But Elma's next words dispelled her idea.

"But it's all right."

Elma slowly stretched out her hand, and lightly touched Futaba's cheek. There was a relieved smile on the dust and blood stained cheek, "I won't let you fall into crisis again."

"I will protect you."

If Elma said these words to someone else, then that person would think that Elma was driven mad by the desperate situation, and would not know what to say.But Futaba is different, she knows that Elma can retain memory, and Elma's personality will change to varying degrees after each reboot.She soon understood that this was Elma's farewell to herself.

In the next life, Elma wanted to avoid herself and not allow herself to participate in these battles.

How can that be? !
Futaba suddenly felt vigilant, she knew that the demigod girl in front of her would change her personality every time she restarted.For example, Elma in the first life is cheerful and generous, while Elma in the second life is a little eager to do everything, and at the same time, there will be gloom in her eyes.But it is undeniable that no matter what life Eluma is in, the kindness and gentleness in her bones cannot be changed.

"I want to stay with you."

The first time Futaba felt stupid was a desperate thing. She obviously wanted to make a long story, and told Elma that she wanted to fight with her, but no matter how she thought, she would not Only by knowing how to say it can I convince Elma that she will bring me with me in the next life without revealing that I can retain my memory.

In desperation, in the dark cave, Futaba exhausted her entire life's vocabulary and choked out a sentence, "I don't care, I will stay with you."

Elma was stunned, and then her eyes softened, she nodded and said with a light smile, "Okay, I'll be with you too."

It’s over.

Based on her knowledge of Elma III, Futaba knew that once Elma showed this expression of maternal love, it meant that the other party must be tolerant of herself.Anyway, no matter what, I may not be able to impress the other party, let her find me after the next restart, and let me join the Demon King's army.

What to do, what to do?
For the first time, Futaba felt the emotion of "urgency". She felt as if she was shouting in her heart, but there was no sound on the surface.But when she saw Elma's eyes full of farewell and expectation, she swallowed those words again.

War is cruel, and Elma is the god who left the most beautiful light for the cruel world.

In the past 20 years, relying on her own charisma, a total of 63 countries are willing to help Elma with all their strength and obey her command unconditionally.You must know that even Chonghuang had won the support of less than forty countries.

In all of this, apart from the efforts of Zhou Li and Futaba, the most important thing is Elma's great character like a bright pearl.It can be said that her character can already be described as great.Without Elma, it would be impossible for the human coalition to form in such a short period of time. Her temperament that makes people trust from the heart, and her noble virtues that are not lost to knights, all make Elma a recognized leaders.

Futaba, who has witnessed the growth of Elma for three consecutive lives, also has to admit that in this life, Elma is more of a backbone.But at the same time, her tenderness and love for herself and Zhou Li never diminished.

After two lives, Elma treats Futaba with tenderness and love from the bottom of her heart, and it can be said that she treats her as her own relatives.Many people believe that Futaba and Elma should be related by blood, or even close relatives of each other.

The same is true for Zhou Li.

The bits and pieces of getting along with Zhou Li emerged in his mind, and for some reason, a sense of loss appeared in Futaba's heart.In this life, she didn't have much contact with Zhou Li, or not as much as the previous two lives.When facing death, Futaba felt regretful.

Perhaps, I am escaping.

Doing the math, adding up the three dynasties, I have lived with Zhou Li and Elma for more than 60 years.These days are very fragmented, most of which are interspersed with bloody wars, but now, Futaba feels that the days when she, Zhou Li and Elma are together are shining with the brilliance she yearns for.

I see···
At this time, Futaba, who had always been doubtful about the "beautiful dimension" imagined by Zhou Li, suddenly realized.She finally understood why the dimension that Zhou Li agreed with was such a bland and boring world.

If it were me, I would choose this way too...
The approach of death did not make Futaba hysterical, nor did it make her feel scared. On the contrary, Futaba began to unconsciously recall under the pressure of death, recalling the lives she had experienced in which Zhouli and Elma participated.

She thought of Elma keeping her random nonsense in mind, and took Zhou Li and Tiya to hold a small but delicate birthday party for her.There was also that football match in which Zhou Li slid his own ball with a shovel, but it ended up kicking into his own goal.At that time, Tiya laughed very loudly, and it took her a while to realize that she and Zhou Li were in the same team.

Some messy daily life, nonsense at the dinner table, conversations under the night.I used to imitate other people's expressions and emotions, but once in front of Zhou Li and Elma, I would involuntarily let go of those hypocritical expressions.

They won't dislike Futaba, and Futaba doesn't have to play emotions in front of them.They live here, interspersed with the ordinary daily life during the war, get along, and finally start again.

If it were me, I would make the same choice as you.

With a bitter smile in his heart, at this moment, Futaba's hand was unconsciously placed on his heart.For the first time, she felt that her heart began to beat slowly, not to provide life for herself, but to pour the existence called emotions into her mind.

It turns out that this is emotion.

Turning her head, she stretched out her hand, and brushed her fingers over the unconscious Elma's cheek, a trace of determination flashed in Futaba's eyes.

Do not worry.

Futaba closed her eyes, sensing the powerful presence outside the door, and said softly, "I will find you."

"You can't hide from me."

boom! ! ! ! ! !

The boundary was completely shattered, and the scarlet eyes were particularly terrifying in the darkness.Holding a giant scythe, the girl slowly walked into the cave, looking at Futaba and Elma on the ground, there was no emotion in those eyes.

it's OK.

Facing the threat of death, Futaba, who had lost her emotions, did not have any fear in her eyes, only a touch of ridicule and expectation in her eyes.

"We will fight again."

Futaba opened her mouth and left a word softly.

The demon king in front of him didn't speak, but just glanced meaningfully at the stone wall beside him.She raised the scythe, and the black aura gradually condensed on the blade. Just as the scythe wrapped in the devil's breath cut off the bodies of the two people in front of her, a violent roar suddenly exploded from the stone wall.

boom! ! !
The long sword cut through the black mist, leaving a trace.The boy's cheek was scratched and bloody by the gravel, and the corners of his eyes were stained red with scarlet color. Zhou Li flicked his wrist, and the long sword pierced the Demon King's heart with thunder.

Call ~
There was a faint sound of wind, and the figure of the Demon King disappeared under the blade. This was not the use of space, but her speed was too fast, as fast as teleportation.

"Zhou Li?!"

After seeing who came, Futaba couldn't help but exclaimed.And Elma also woke up, looking at the scene in front of her in astonishment.

"I left marks in your gauntlets."

Clutching the Master Sword in his hand, Zhou Li stared at the Demon King in front of him, and his tone rose slightly: "This time, I have tricked you."

Many times, Zhou Li wanted to secretly use the void to go to the front line to fight, but because his strength had not increased, his clumsy void walk would be noticed by Elma every time, and then recalled.

But this time, Zhou Li succeeded.After learning that Elma and Futaba were in danger, he activated the void gate without hesitation, found them at the cost of almost half his soul, and came to this cave.

Elma looked at Zhou Li's back in disbelief, she couldn't imagine that she was so alienated from him in this life, but he appeared in front of her in the end, choosing to die with her as always.She opened her mouth, but said nothing.

In Futaba's mind, the words that Elma of the false dimension once said to her appeared.

Even if he's in danger, even if he's seriously injured, even if we're not filled with good pasts and memories like this fake world, I'll be there for him, right?

"Yes."

Looking at Zhou Li's back, Futaba murmured, "You will stay with him."

"And he won't give up on you."
