"Long time no see, perhaps we can say it's our second encounter?"

"Well, you've been trying every way possible to bring me to my doom, and here I am today, ready for you to come at me... give me your best shot!"

Moreover, since this guy is relatively close to me, I can clearly feel his strength.

And these demons, each and every one of them have been in frequent real combat with the divine race, and I can tell at a glance that some of them who may not look serious are actually quite skilled among them!

These monsters are already skilled, and when they start attacking, each of them even hides weapons in their hands!

You scoundrels are truly despicable and shameless!

In the blink of an eye, those who were chasing us just now all rushed towards us.

My body feels weak, as if I can hardly summon any strength at all.

"Hurry, leave me behind, they are after me, you all need to go!" I shouted fiercely at the iron-skinned man and his group of knights.

"It ends here!"

But those guys in the iron skins completely ignore me.

As brothers, how could they possibly abandon me and leave me behind?

That's absolutely impossible!

I am feeling quite resentful now, hating myself for getting into this mess! If I hadn't been so stubborn, I would never have ended up in this situation, this predicament! However, I am just guessing something is not right.

Who would have thought these guys would be so ruthless?

It's all my fault!

Where is there a kind-hearted soul among my opponents? I know there isn't, yet I still made this mistake, which is unforgivable, beyond redemption!

As I think about this, my anger keeps rising, and as the anger surges in my chest to a peak, I also feel my blood circulation speeding up a bit.

"You all go, I need some alone time to deal with them."

And at that moment, I also notice something. As my blood circulation increases, my once weak body seems to be gaining some strength, as if energy is slowly returning to my body!

Realizing this, a feeling of joy flickers in my heart!

False gods, they always like to use mysterious things.

The Creator always seems to give you what you need at the happiest moment, even some rewards for the successful ones.

When my body is fully restored, let's see how many more people I can take on!

My anger surges, my whole body feels like it's about to explode.

Whoever it is, they are all my friends, the whole world is my good brother, and we have been together from the beginning of creation to now. Plus, I have grown taller and stronger in these two years, with a ruthless resolve in me. Ordinary people facing him are really not my match!

In the midst of those demons' siege, I managed to push everyone away. I refused to be escorted out of the encirclement by these jerks.

It's not that I don't appreciate their goodwill, but even if they were to escort me out, it would come at a very painful cost.

As I said to them before, their target is me, and previously, the paladins who were with me don't need to be involved, because anyone caught by them will definitely suffer a brutal beating.

After they were beaten, they were released again.

Immediately after, these terrifying hooligans from the divine realm all chased after me.

Seeing this, my anger surged even more.

When my internal rage finally reached a certain height, at this moment, I didn't know if it was my formidable divine body, the demon blood I had acquired earlier, or the dormant giant within me finally having an effect, but it managed to mostly negate the harmful effects on my body!

Unfortunately, even though I regained strength, it seemed like all the strength suddenly surged within my body, and before this, my body had been severely injured even under the protection of the Temple Knights.

"Quick, get out of the way!"

Was I very angry? Even at this moment, I was extremely exhilarated!

With strength restored, even though I couldn't utilize all my power, at least I wouldn't be a burden to others anymore!

"If you want to confront me, I can accompany you all through this evening!"

I shouted furiously at the bastards in front of me, and at the same time, I took a deep breath, then split a big guy who rushed towards me into two halves with a single blow!

"Sir, please leave now!"

The knight abruptly grabbed my arm and tried to lead me out of the battle circle.

At this moment, although I erupted in rage, I was not unaware of the current situation. Even though I wanted to fight these bastards in front of me, at least I should consider the extremely dire situation before me.

My heart was filled with extreme resentment, but in the end, I gritted my teeth and left with the remaining knights of the Temple.

However, even though we wanted to leave the place, it was not an easy task!

These people had nearly killed our brothers before, and now only Ironman, Black Egg, and I remained here, continuing to persevere.

In the pitch-black, deep streets, I could have rushed forward without looking back, but the current situation was such that I did not want to fight, yet I could not agree to leave.

Just as we were surrounded from all sides, a loud shout suddenly came from above the street, sealing off the entire space around us.

As we heard this loud shout, each of us was shocked.

With a turn of our eyes, everyone looked towards the clock tower not far from us, where a figure was approaching us.

And as my gaze fell on this person, I felt a sense of familiarity!

The fierce expression on her face was truly frightening, even Leold couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated.

"Leold —!!!"

...

"Welcome back from your mission. Well, maybe someone among you needs to bear a little punishment, after all... well, these things are no longer relevant to you all!"

When Edward saw only Yukari and the others return, without a young man named Hagrid among them, he could only shrug with a bitter smile.

"Well, what can I do, you guys ... let's just leave it at that."

"Satan, this is not a joke, are you sure?" Viktorche quickly interjected.

Edward nodded slightly.

"I'm very sure. At that time, you just need to visit our warriors in the hospital, the rest is not important! Of course, you can investigate the matter, but don't make a big deal out of it. People nowadays are fragile enough, and most of them have to cooperate with chemotherapy and such. Also, don't inform their families, otherwise it will surely add new troubles for us. Do you understand?"

Viktorche, in his helplessness, nodded calmly. "Yes, I will handle everything." "Hmm!" With that said, Viktorche promptly collected all the documents he had received, taking them with him along with his words. Now, only Yukari and Edward remained in the room. Edward shook his head and smiled. "I won't tell anyone else, and in return, you must not leak this information to me when the time comes." "I need you to confirm once again if you can help with this favor. If we have your word, we won't spread this news. Otherwise, we will have to disclose everything to Liao Xiu Er." Yukari, not naive, asked earnestly. Edward could only smile and say, "Relax, why so nervous? It's just a few minor issues, no need to make a fuss." Hearing this, Yukari temporarily relaxed and a smile appeared on her face. "So, according to the agreement, just bring him here, right?" "...Of course." However, Viktorche, with a pale face, muttered, "These guys, I will make them pay, sooner or later!" ...

"Yukari, you'll have to make a sacrifice this time. If it were someone else, that old man Edward definitely wouldn't fully believe it. But if Viktorche says it, I think he'll believe it, right?" Chiyori said, suddenly understanding.

"Yes, but...you should be careful about calling the big sister's name, if you don't pay attention next time..." "Ah, come on, we're all friends now, Yukari, don't be so stingy," Chiyori said, sitting by the window chuckling. "What did you say?!" As they were about to clash, Yukari stepped in to separate them just in time. Helplessly rolling her eyes at the two, Yukari said, "Chiyori, just say it in front of them, but be careful not to do it at school. Otherwise, there will be gossip behind my back." "Hmm, got it... but big sister, the food is getting cold, should we start?" "Let's leave it like this for now, just like before. ...Order takeout?" Yukari smiled slightly. Chiyori, Frentz, and the others each raised their hands like elementary students, listing the dishes they wanted to eat. "I'm not picky, just no green peppers!" As always, Ren made it easy for Yukari. "Just egg fried rice will do," Frentz said, keeping it simple. After eating and drinking, everyone put down their cups. "Ah~! I'm full!" Ren politely bowed after putting down his chopsticks. Soon, he and Chiyori exchanged smiles and gradually fell asleep, while Yukari hesitated to start immediately. "That person should be coming soon, right?" Yukari began to feel slightly impatient, a hint of nervousness creeping into her heart. After all, this was the first exchange after obtaining that ability, and she was uncertain about the outcome.

"Delicious, so delicious!" exclaimed Fran while stuffing her mouth, "No wonder this place is developed, back where we live we can only eat some wild vegetables, or bread as hard as stone!"
