Bad woman, join the hunt tonight

She was a woman who looked not much older than him, with long white hair blown messy by the strong wind. But it did not reduce her beauty in the slightest. Her sky-like blue eyes were looking at him with a smile, which somehow had the power to make people feel at ease.

"But next time, you have to pay attention to your own safety first."

What a beautiful person, and she saved me...

Looking at the woman in front of him, Kosmo opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment before whispering, "... Could you please put me down?"

Although he had many complicated feelings in his heart, Kosmo felt a little embarrassed to be held in a princess hug by a woman, even though the other person seemed to be stronger than him.

"Ah, sorry~" The woman put Kosmo down with a smile, and glanced at the name tag on his body, "Kosmo, huh? Although I admire your courage, this place will soon become a battlefield for the Fourth Herrscher, so it's better to leave quickly."

"There is an evacuation center 30 kilometers east of the city. Let's move there as soon as possible."

The man in front of him kindly pointed out the direction of the shelter and handed the pistol on his waist to Cosmo. But Cosmo had no intention of leaving, as he had too many questions to ask.

"Who are you? What is a Herrscher?"

"Ah, do you still need to ask in such a dangerous situation? Young people are really energetic~" The white-haired woman smiled helplessly, "Forget it, I'll take you to find a basement to hide later. It's too dangerous to let a child walk 30 kilometers in a place like this... The Herrscher is the creator of the tornado you wanted to attack just now, right? But this level is just an attack she made casually. She can create a hurricane that is ten times more terrifying than that at any time."

"?!"

Kosmo was shocked when he heard this. The hurricane that nearly killed him was just an insignificant ordinary attack in the hands of the being called the Herrscher... ?

His teeth began to chatter. This was not his subjective intention, but even if he didn't want to be afraid, just imagining the scene of being an enemy of such an existence made Kosmo feel despair from the bottom of his heart.

Herrscher? It's impossible for humans to win against such a thing...

"Don't be afraid, Kosmo."

Just when Kosmo's hands and feet began to tremble unconsciously, he suddenly felt a soft hand stroking his head, gently comforting him.

"I will protect you."

"..."

What are you talking about? Even if she is stronger than me, facing such a terrifying existence——

Kosmo raised his head and wanted to say something to the other party, but when he saw her eyes, he couldn't say anything.

Those eyes were gentle yet firm. She stood in the strong wind. Although her body looked so slender, she stood firm like a flag, announcing the inevitable victory.

"My name is Li, Li of dawn. I promise you with this name that I will defeat her here, and no one will get hurt."

Although the other person's voice was soft, Kosmo heard great confidence in it. At the same time, Li's voice seemed to have some magical power, which soothed the inexplicable fear in his heart.

"I'll take you to a safe place on the outskirts of the city to hide first—"

"Please, please let me stay!"

Kosmo didn't know where he got the courage to shout with all his might, but he had an intuition that he had to do it - if he failed to keep up with the other party here, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"I can be your assistant!"

Li's eyes widened slightly, as if he had seen something surprising, but then he covered his mouth and chuckled: "This kind of reckless courage... You are very similar to someone I know~"

"Ugh?"

Kosmo was a little confused, but then he felt a headache and found that it was Li who tapped his forehead lightly.

"Courage is indeed very important, Kosmo, but it is not your turn yet." Li looked at Kosmo with a smile in his eyes, "At least as long as I am still standing here, I will not let a child like you face such danger."

"If you really want to help me, then I do have something that only you can do - stay alive, Kosmo, a brave child like you will sooner or later become an important force for mankind."

"After all, after dawn, the morning light is always needed to completely illuminate the darkness, isn't it?"

The Fourth Herrscher was much more difficult to deal with than Li had imagined. His attacks, which he carried out by directly manipulating the air, could be carried out continuously from all angles at the same time. Although the Seven Thunders of Purification were extremely powerful, it was still impossible to achieve a complete defense with just this one sword.

In the end, Li had no choice but to give up defense and attack with all his might, using the most violent method of exchanging injuries for injuries to deal with the opponent.

Although the output of the Fourth Herrscher had made great progress compared to her previous colleagues, it was a pity that her defense was not as good as her attack. In the end, Li relied on her physical fitness to successfully withstand the Fourth Herrscher's meat grinder-like wind blade and chopped off the opponent's head with the Seven Thunders of Purification.

The Fourth Herrscher's attack frequency was extremely high, especially when Li had completely given up on defense. Her entire body looked as if she had been tortured to death, with not a single intact part. She had already turned into a bloody person.

However, with the help of the Key of God, Li was able to resolve the battle quite quickly. This level of injury was not life-threatening, so although it looked terrible, he would be able to recover in no time with his own recovery ability.

But how could Li miss such a good opportunity to make money?

So she chose to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead without hesitation.

......

When Kevin fell from the sky, quite a while had passed since the scheduled start of the battle.

The long wait made Kevin very annoyed. He wanted to intervene in the battlefield as soon as possible to help Li fight against the Herrscher, but the higher-ups were reluctant to let him go, saying that as a surprise soldier, he had to wait until the battle between the Herrscher and Li became fierce and they relaxed their vigilance against the outside world before he could play the decisive role.

Kevin knew that this statement made some sense, but he still felt that the waiting time was too long. He had no way of watching the video of Li fighting with the Herrscher while waiting in the sky, and Li had told him to follow orders, so even if he was annoyed, he could only suppress his emotions and continue waiting.

When the order to attack was given, Kevin didn't hesitate for even half a second. He rushed out of the spaceship and jumped down, rushing towards the ground like a sharp arrow.

It's okay. Li is so strong that the previous Herrs could not last more than a few rounds in her hands. The mission this time is just to contain her. There will be no problem. Although he kept comforting himself, Kevin still felt a vague uneasiness in his heart. As the altitude decreased, the shattered city made him even more nervous.

All these anxieties finally became reality when Kevin saw the figure lying in a pool of blood.

"Li?!!"

Kevin really wanted to rush directly to Li's side, but he was worried that the blast and debris caused by landing would hurt her, so he had to land far away and then ran over as fast as he could.

The closer he got and the clearer he saw Li's figure, the more intense the pain in his heart became.

Her hair, which was always neatly groomed, had now been completely dyed red and cut unevenly. Her entire body was covered in blood, and the wounds that could be seen everywhere on her body proved the source of the blood, but it seemed that it had stopped flowing - or was it because the blood had dried up?

It’s all my fault. If I had come earlier—!

"Li, can you, can you hear me...?" Kevin's hands were shaking. He wanted to help Li up, but was afraid of touching the wounds on Li's body. In the end, he could only call softly beside Li, praying that the worst situation would not happen.

"Kevin...?"

Kevin found that his calling seemed to have worked. Li, who was breathing weakly, finally opened one eye slightly and looked at him weakly: "You are too slow..."

“?!——I, I’m sorry, Li, I…”

Li's accusation made Kevin breathless. He opened his mouth to say something, but found that he had nothing to say.

That’s right, it was all his fault. If he had come earlier, Li wouldn’t have suffered this fate. It was all because he came too late!

And all he could do now was watch Li's breath gradually weaken until it disappeared completely?

"Rescue, yes, I'll contact them now--" Kevin began to frantically search for the Fire Moth's contactor on his body. Now Li is still conscious, as long as he can get treatment...

However, just as Kevin touched the arm of the connector, Li reached out and grabbed it. He opened his mouth as if he had used up all his strength, and said weakly: "Kevin, you must come earlier next time, otherwise, I will... I will - kill the Herrscher alone again~"

"me?"

Looking at Li who suddenly jumped up in front of him with a relaxed tone, Kevin, with red eyes, still kept kneeling in the same position and could only ask a question in confusion.

"Li, are you okay?"

"Of course, the Herrscher who can kill me hasn't appeared yet." Li touched his hair that was already covered with blood, and decided to find a place to clean it up quickly, otherwise he would feel really uncomfortable. "I just suddenly wanted to tease you..."

Looking at Kevin's red eyes, Li smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, it seems that I joked too much."

But hadn’t I pretended to be dead to tease Otto before? It should have been many years ago - or later?

The timeline is so confusing I can't figure it out~

"It doesn't matter, Li, as long as you're okay!" Kevin stood up nervously and came to Li's side, "But the blood and wounds on your body..."

"Ah, these are okay, they will heal soon." Li looked down at the dense scars on his arms. It was much better than it was not long ago. When the battle just ended, it was all covered in blood and flesh.

"This battle is over. Contact the logistics team to recover the Herrscher core and the body. Oh, by the way, Kevin, I found an interesting child here today. He looks a lot like you~"

Li walked towards the edge of the battlefield while stretching her body. In addition to digging out the Kosmo that she had protected in the basement, she also had to find a place with uninterrupted water to take a shower and change clothes, otherwise this combat suit would be full of holes... She didn't want to show off her clothes.

Although the fight was a bit miserable this time, the harvest was very rich. Not only did I raise the favorability of the wild Kosmo to level seven, but I also got 800,000 points from Kevin. It was a great value.

Just as Li began to count her deliveries, Kevin's serious voice came from behind her: "Li...I will never be late again."

"......Then you better keep working hard." Li stopped, looked back at Kevin, and smiled, "Great hero~"

Volume 174: Faith Extinguishes in Civilization: Chapter Chapter : Trickery

The Fire Moths have a tradition of holding a banquet to celebrate after killing a Herrscher.

Of course, the Fire Moth was a very large organization, and it was impossible to get everyone into the same venue. People from different classes did not have any common topics, and asking the lower-level fighters to celebrate with the upper-level fighters would only make people on both sides feel tortured. Therefore, everyone would consciously divide into different groups and celebrate on their own.

For example, the combat troops of the Fire Moth headquarters alone were divided into nearly a hundred different venues, and in an inconspicuous tavern among them, Alicia and Li were sitting there.

"Alicea, I won't ask why you came to Kevin's team's celebration site...but why are you dressed like this?" Li propped up his head and looked at Alicea, who was dressed as a maid, helplessly. "Could it be that you have a special interest?"

"Hehehe, after all, today is also a welcome party for new members, and I want to dress up a little bit special~"

Alicia adjusted the headband on her head and happily turned around in front of Li: "How is it? Does it suit me well?"

"You are indeed very cute. I am just a little worried that you might scare the newcomers." Li smiled helplessly. "As soon as they came in, they saw the famous Alicia of the Fire Moth dressed like this to greet them. It is hard to say whether it is a surprise or a shock."

"It's okay. I believe they will be able to feel my enthusiasm and sincerity. Besides, I have prepared something for you~"

"Please allow me to refuse..."

Looking at the light maid outfit in Alicia's hand, Li looked embarrassed: "I'm not used to wearing clothes that are too... uh, weak in defense."

"It's because of your attitude that I prepared this dress for you, Li." Alicia said seriously, "You usually wear a uniform. Even when you occasionally wear home clothes, they are cartoon T-shirts and trousers that don't have any girlish air. They don't show your cute side at all!"

"Although you usually look handsome in your uniform, believe me, you will be even cuter in clothes like this!" Alicia seemed to be sincerely giving Li some good advice, but the flickering light in her eyes completely exposed her excitement.

"Come on, put it on, it will look good..." Alicia held up the maid outfit and approached Li with a strange laugh. Seeing this terrifying look, even Li couldn't help but step back subconsciously, until he was forced into a corner by the other party.

The lovely Alicia, who was originally as lovely as a flower, seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud-like aura, with only a pair of eyes emitting a strange light. At this moment, Li finally understood why Grayshu always had a look of despair when he was with Alicia. Was it because he usually saw Alicia in such a weird posture? !

In the end, Li agreed to Alicia's request to change clothes, or it could be said that Li was actually prepared to agree from the beginning and was just playing hard to get just now.

The heroine, who always dressed conservatively, suddenly changed into a very charming little skirt. This is a classic operation to improve other people's favorability. You know, not only Kosmo and other new members of Kevin's team will come later, but Kevin, Mobius and others will also come. How could Li refuse such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

However, Li's personality is the type that although appears confident and outgoing, is actually rather delicate and conservative on the inside, so of course she couldn't agree directly.

First he refused, and then 'reluctantly agreed' at Alicia's request. This not only fits the character setting, but also makes Alicia feel that her ideas are valued. It's really killing two birds with one stone!

I am simply a genius.

......

"Mobius, I didn't expect you to actually come out of the lab..."

"How rude! You should at least address me with a respectful title, like Senior Mobius or Doctor Mobius."

"Okay Mebius, got it Mebius."

"You kid..."

Mebius next to him was so angry that his teeth were itching, but Kevin smiled.

Of course he is a polite man, but it is ridiculous for him to maintain his so-called manners when facing a girl who wants to steal his girlfriend.

He actually approached Li secretly a few years ago when she was still a minor and gained her trust and affection... Isn't this totally a pedophile?

Although the relationship between him and Li might not bear fruit until twenty years later - no, now it's nineteen years later, but this doesn't stop Kevin from using the eyes of a boyfriend to be wary of those who might snatch away his future child, and Mebius is the most dangerous one in his realm list.

"Today's party is also a welcome party for the two new members of our team. Don't suddenly start talking about anatomy or something in front of them and scare them."

Mebius scoffed at Kevin's instructions: "Me? It's hard to say who scared them. After all, even I have heard of the rumor that a certain captain scolded a newcomer to tears four times on the first day of joining the team... I remember it was the child that Li personally rescued from the battlefield, right?"

No one may believe it, but Kevin really had no intention of making things difficult for the boy named Kosmo. Even he didn't expect that the other party would cry four times... Judging from the information, he should be a very strong boy.

"I really didn't mean it." Kevin said helplessly.

"Haha." Mebius remained noncommittal.

In fact, she had no interest in such celebration parties. The reason she came here today was just because Li told her not to stay in the laboratory all day, and it was necessary to come out and relax with everyone.

It would be a good opportunity for her to keep a close eye on Li, so that she wouldn't be kidnapped by a rude brat like Kevin... She was already furious when her assistant Blanca was tricked away by that rude old man Hen, and if Li was also tricked away by Kevin, that white-haired gorilla...

Just thinking about himself sitting in the guest seat at the wedding and looking at Li, Mobius's fists hardened.

But soon, Mebius gave up and let go of his hand. After all, the saddest thing in the world is that you can't defeat your love rival.

Should I go find that guy Weiwei and develop something to arm Kevin...

Volume 175: Faith Extinguishes in Civilization: Chapter Chapter : Strict Defense is Necessary

When Mebius and Kevin opened the door of the tavern, they were greeted by Alysia's energetic voice: "Welcome, both of you~"
