Chapter 844: Past Dreams, Current Self
The Palace of the Golden Kingdom, before the Silver City.

"How dare you lie to me, little devil!"

Oriol spat on the ground in a rather rogue manner, but because he was wearing armor, the saliva seemed to bounce back, and Oriol covered his throat as if he had been hit hard.

"There is a flaw!"

O'Lear suddenly swung the golden giant sword and chopped it straight at the Black Beast Knight's head.

The Black Beast Knight's movements were as cold and hard as his current expression, his knees and elbows clamped Oriel's golden giant sword like iron clamps.

"Tsk." Seeing that his sneak attack failed, Olier smacked his lips unhappily, took back the golden giant sword and put it on his shoulder, "Yo, you're back."

The Black Beast Knight nodded and sat down on the steps, looking out at the entire Golden Kingdom that had fallen into deathly silence.

"Eve is back too."

"Ah~ That crazy woman, did she blow herself up again?" Oriel also sat down on the steps. Compared with the Black Beast Knight's upright sitting posture, Oriel was sprawled out.

The Black Beast Knight nodded and whispered, "Eve is only LV1 now, but she will not prioritize restoring her body, but awaken Adam's body to attack the Golden Kingdom."

"We should be on full alert."

"Don't worry, the princess's prayer is very powerful. Eve's minions cannot penetrate the prayer. We just need to eliminate the enemies who invaded here."

Compared to the Black Beast Knight's concentration, O'Leary seemed very indifferent and casual. He looked up at the ceiling made of Adam's body and sighed.

"Aren't you going to meet the princess?"

When it came to the princess, his tone was cold and brief, and the Black Beast Knight, who seemed to only do business, paused for a long time before answering.

"Do you think I am qualified to see the princess now?"

"No, you are not qualified. As long as I am alive, I will never agree to it."

"I see."

The Black Beast Knight nodded. Such a boring reaction made O'Neill curl his lips. In order to let the Black Beast Knight know his displeasure, he even removed his armor so that the Black Beast Knight could see his face.

"Little ghost, do you know why I am unhappy with you?"

"...I think I'm very special." The Black Beast Knight clenched his fists and said slowly, "I don't feel like an outlier just because I'm the only human in the Golden Kingdom. On the contrary, I think I'm special. I was brought back by the princess, and I must have a special and great mission."

"No! I'm jealous of your talent and popularity with women." O'Neill shook his head and gave a rather frivolous answer. He was quite disdainful of Blaze's heavy answer.

"It seems that you haven't reflected on yourself at all. What's wrong with feeling that you are special? What's wrong with feeling that you have a great mission? Do you have to feel that you are an insignificant little character? As long as you don't deviate from what is right, it's fine."

"You work hard because you think you are special, and you fight because you think you have a mission. You train yourself day after day. Isn't that great?"

"Your only mistake is that you did the wrong thing and deviated from the right thing."

"That's because!" The Black Beast Knight stood up suddenly and looked at the lazy Oriel. The words he wanted to shout were stuck in his throat. Blaze's words echoed in his mind, making it impossible for him to shout those words with confidence.

"This world is nothing but a game played by those foreigners. Our experiences and our pain are only to enhance their gaming experience."

The Black Beast Knight finally said it, he seemed relieved, but O'Neill looked indifferent.

"Boy, you seem to be very dissatisfied with strangers."

"Of course!"

"Why? Do they enjoy the wailing of life like monsters, or do they have a desire to conquer and want to destroy the world?" "They..." The Black Beast Knight paused, not knowing how to continue.

He could have explained it by the violence inflicted on him by the strangers, but that was an attack he had launched, or he could have explained it by the strangers' strange and horrible behavior, but that seemed just [sick].

After thinking for a long time, the Black Beast Knight finally came up with a reason.

“Peace is a torture for them, they look forward to chaos.”

"Are there no peace-loving foreigners?"

The Black Beast Knight couldn't lie, "...Yes, there are many, the vast majority, but, but..."

"You're finding fault with me." O'Neill rolled his eyes at the Black Beast Knight and stood up with a somersault.

"What is your mission and your oath?"

"My mission..." The Black Beast Knight clenched his fists and said slowly, "To create a world that can bring beauty and happiness to people, so that the Golden Kingdom is no longer a fairy tale in everyone's mouth, but a paradise and a signpost!"

"The Golden Kingdom should not only be accessible to the souls of innocent victims, it should be open to the world! How can the world become beautiful without seeing beauty!"

The Black Beast Knight's voice became louder and louder, and Oriel's voice also became louder. He raised the golden giant sword and stuck it into the ground, with his hands folded on the hilt.

He was like a huge door, blocking the Black Beast Knight and the Golden Kingdom.

"But I won't let you do that. I am the strongest knight of the Golden Kingdom. I will protect everything in the Golden Kingdom. Only an absolutely pure soul can enter it. I cannot tolerate even a little bit of filth!"

“Then I will defeat—” The Black Beast Knight’s body shook and his shoulders drooped.

"What's wrong? Why don't you continue talking like before?" O'Neill frowned in disappointment and shouted loudly.

"Because you know the truth about the world? Because you are corrupt and lost? Because the Golden Kingdom is destroyed?"

"So you've given up your mission and your oath?"

"If you want to say something childish, then carry it through! Even if it's twisted, even if it's depraved, as long as you reach the end without changing, it's just a detour!"

The armor of the living creatures faded away piece by piece, revealing the boy who stared at Olier stubbornly. Olier was a little dazed. Many years ago, when the Golden Kingdom still existed, this boy stood at the bottom of the stairs and stared at him.

It’s just that he was the villain at that time, and the boy’s eyes were full of light, but now the boy’s eyes are dark and he can’t see the end that he saw in the past.

"Your dream...maybe it's about to come true." O'Neill sighed softly.

"What?" The Black Beast Knight was stunned.

Olier shook his head and looked at the strangers in the distance with a complicated expression. He could hear the strangers' voices and heard them discussing the [real world] from time to time.

It was indeed not a nice place, and the reckless stranger described by the Black Beast Knight felt pressured in such a place and chose to show his true self here.

Maybe some people release evil, but some people also release good.

The strangers walking here are also a reflection of their true inner selves.

“For strangers, this world may be the Golden Country.”

"And you hate it, how ironic."
