295,

Although Daniel couldn't hear it, Sonja could hear it from a little further ahead.

In the extremely faint whisper, combined with Sophiel's lip movements at the time, Sonja knew what Sophiel was saying.

"I am..."

A teardrop fell, adding a red streak to the beautiful and powerful senior's face.

This line crossed her face's helpless smile.

"I am... Allen's hero..."

In an instant, countless magic spells descended.

All were the Grand Vizier's subordinates, along with various magic spells targeting Sophiel's speed and lightning attacks, it seemed they were prepared for this.

Sonja didn't know what to do, looking at Sophiel being suppressed by a large amount of magic, Sonja turned her head and looked at Daniel, only to realize that the Grand Vizier was here too.

He seemed to be saying something to Daniel, and Daniel's expression at that time was also something Sonja had never seen before.

What should they do?

Without even a chance to think, in that moment Sonja turned her head, a strong rebound came.

All the magic spells were interrupted, instantly shattered, and a crack appeared in space, where Sonja's perception vanished.

Not only that, all magic transmission was interrupted there, right at Sophiel's location, Sonja looked back.

Something that seemed impossible happened before her eyes, something she had never seen before, that lightning, shining like light, that goddess-like figure, now turned cold, turned terrifying.

A black and ominous magic light, small but very distinct.

A feeling of disgust filled the air, even though it was just a small amount of magic, Sonja's instincts told her that it was an extremely dark entity.

Indeed, just like now, just like what Sonja felt behind her.

In that moment, Allen's hero not only killed her own family, but also used magic containing the Source of Darkness.

In the end, the Grand Vizier and the ambush team managed to subdue Sophiel together.

As for the truth, no one knew.

It was just that, starting from that day, the Grand Vizier began to target Allen's supporters, and they left one by one.

Until...

"He is Allen's hero."

The girl looked ahead, at that boy who held onto her thigh that day, who couldn't fight and couldn't use magic, and spoke of his own identity in the simplest tone.

Just like three years ago, the answer Sophiel gave.

However, why?

"Why... why give that name to that boy?"

In a corridor of the royal palace, on the day after the Grand Vizier's death, Sonja asked King Allen.

"Your Majesty!"

Even though the king was busy clearing out the remnants of the Grand Vizier's faction, Sonja still approached to ask.

"Your Ma-"

"Don't worry..."

Suddenly, King Allen stopped, just to unravel the doubt in Sonja's heart.

"Sonja, this is not some kind of fate. Right now, Allen City just needs someone to bear that name, that's all."

That name, the name that had once been connected to the Source of Darkness, thought to never appear in Allen City again, never be possessed by someone else.

"Sophiel's situation is just a conspiracy between that person and Mikoni, Sonja. Stand tall..." Allen Wang did not turn around as he faced Sonja with his tiny figure.

"Our enemies are still laughing." Sonja looked on, even though it was small, she was well aware that the burden on Allen Wang's back was much heavier than her own.

Moreover, compared to herself, Allen Wang's relationship with Sophiel is no worse than her as a junior.

"Since the Vice Captain recommended you, you must live up to the responsibility of being the Captain of the Wind Knights." Seeing the figure continuing forward, Sonja once thought she could catch up.

It's only temporary, as long as she becomes strong enough, stronger than her seniors...

But why?

Why is it you? Why is it Allen's hero again?

Continuously questioning in her heart, a fate that Sonja didn't want to happen again arrived once more.

Why does Allen's hero... reach out to the darkness once again?

Sonja doesn't understand.

Cyclone's gaze is not fake, but he knows that he is Allen's hero and still wants to save the witch.

The sword in her hand trembles, but Sonja has no intention of putting it down.

This time, she cannot do nothing.

Sonja must stop Cyclone, before the others come back and witness Cyclone, she must certainly prevent that terrifying fate from descending again.
