Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 461 The light of the stars has disappeared since then
Lauren didn't run away.

Because the actions made by a human body have no meaning at all, the dragon relatives in the sky are much more powerful than him.If you run away, you will be caught up, if you resist, you will be killed, and now you have no choice.

"but why?"

The girl in her arms opened her eyes slightly, as if she had had another terrible nightmare.But when she found herself in Lauren's arms, her initially frightened expression immediately calmed down.

"Mr. Lauren...what's the matter with you?"

"why?"

No one could answer his question because he knew he already had the answer.But why is this the answer?There are obviously countless possibilities, why did you get such a bad answer?

[You are hurting other people from the beginning. 】

"That's right...this is my 'destiny'."

[Plundering other people's fortunes, enjoying shelter as a weakling, and then hypocritically feeling guilty about it. 】

The voice coming from the bottom of his heart was like a vicious curse, but Laurent did not resist.He knew that he was indeed just as the voice said, a coward with a weak heart, lack of courage, and even a need for reasonable excuses to act.

[You are like this, but you still want to abandon the sins you have carried, forget the responsibilities you have shouldered, and finally disappear from the people who have sacrificed for you. 】

"Yeah, I'm a complete coward. A hero or something like that doesn't match me at all."

The girl in her arms heard Lauren's muttering to himself. She could not understand the meaning of the murmur, but she saw the sadness and pain on Lauren's face.So the girl stretched out her hand and tried to touch Lauren's face.

"Mr. Loren, I...it's okay."

A deafening roar came from the sky, but Laurent seemed not to hear any sound at all, and the world in his eyes gradually lost color.

"Those dragons...are they here to find me?" Laier saw the dragon relatives tearing each other apart in the sky. "Mr. Loren... just put me here."

[Turn around and run away, abandon her. Only in this way can you live as an ordinary person. 】

"abandon?"

Lauren clenched her teeth, her face distorted by anger and fear.He was unwilling to give up even though he had reached this point, but the fear of being a weak person was driving him to escape from this place.

"wrong."

Laurent slowly released the girl from his arms, and at this moment, a huge body fell from the air onto Laurent's back.The violent vibrations swept up countless gravel and smoke, which would have directly splashed onto the girl's body if Laurent hadn't instinctively blocked it with his body.

"His Majesty……"

The body of the giant dragon, which had long been exhausted, had been torn into several pieces, but even so, it was still not completely dead.As if it squeezed out the last bit of strength, it still issued a warning to the girl who was called.

"Humanity...take your majesty...out of...here..."

The dragon's voice finally stopped abruptly, and Laurent stretched out his hand, but he was at a loss as to what he should do.

[So, what is your choice? 】

A very familiar, frivolous and casual voice sounded in my mind.Lauren's world stopped at this moment, and this seemed to be what he had forgotten all along.My false desire to be an ordinary person made me ignore the true side of my heart.

[It’s too late to choose anything, idiot.There are obviously such terrible things in your body, why are you still dreaming of dying as an ordinary person? 】

Why?What is it that you are missing?
【So what is your choice?Die here with her?Do you think this delusion will really come true? 】

No, only he will die here, and the girl will be taken away by those relatives... Her soul will become the best sacrifice for evil to reach its peak.

[So just die, idiot, so you can escape your sins. 】

"Tell me what price I have to pay."

Lauren finally spoke again, his voice low and heavy, as if burdened with suffocating despair.But he slowly raised his head and turned his gaze to the dragon dependents in the sky who had become victors.

【...You finally asked this question. 】

The frivolous voice suddenly became calmer, and the world in front of Laurent also distorted at this moment, transforming into the small inner cabin of some strange vehicle.

"You know, things like 'heroes' are not needed by others."

"Yeah, I know."

"Jealousy of identity will lead to suspicion, and fear of power will turn into malice. In human cognition, 'heroes' are the greatest threat to civilization."

A man who looked like himself stood up from the driver's seat and walked up to Lauren.Although there was only a bitter smile on his face, he still stretched out his hand and put it on Lauren's shoulder.

"Even if you are feared, hated, and eventually forgotten, do you still want the power to save others?"

"I want."

"Everything you have done will eventually be cast aside by others, the people you protect will eventually forget your existence, and your wishes will eventually disappear into nothingness... Even so! Do you still plan to move forward alone!"

The arm on his shoulder did not exert any strength, but Laurent nodded anyway.

No matter what his fate is, he has already made up his mind.

"As expected of me... stupid."

The illusion in front of him suddenly shattered, and the emptiness in his chest was completely filled at this moment.Laurent once again saw the Dragon Familiar flying down towards him and the girl, but this time, he no longer had any fear in his heart.

[Even though thousands of stars have been extinguished, they still have not given up hope. 】

Lauren's hand, which he originally intended to reach out to the girl, turned back and reached towards his own back, but there was only one thing that he could hold.

[Light up, light up, the thing that swallows infinite light, one day...]

"One day it will be too far away. Now I just want to do the things in front of me."

Loren pulled out the gun blade from his back and pointed it into the air.Although the distance between the Dragon Familiar and him was shortening rapidly, he still had no intention of retreating.

[Its shape is "claw", and its name is "Yanguang".Then... everything is left to you. 】

"Ah, just leave it to me."

Four huge jet-black crystal dragon claws tore through the space and stretched out from behind Loren, just like his arms, pointing at the dragon family members flying down.

The posture seemed like a nightmare born from the bottom of the lightless abyss.
