Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 180
Xu Jun felt that he would never be able to guess what had happened between the Demon King, the God of Darkness, and the Ice Lord who had arrived in a hurry.
In the novel, he was prepared for both sides to suffer and perish together. He was even prepared for the Demon King's death but the God of Darkness would still be alive. Although he felt sorry for Roschinke, to be honest, fighting someone of a higher level was never easy. Especially since Roschinke lived in the real world, unlike him who was purely playing games, where he could constantly level up and collect materials. Although there were very few players who chose the highest difficulty, the Hero Mode, there were still some guides compiled by players on the Internet, including the tips given by the game officials. It was much easier than finding everything on his own in the real world.
But how much bargaining chips did Roschinke have?
Before this, he probably didn't even know that the God of Darkness had been resurrected, let alone target him.
But if Roschinke lost, what would he do?
Xu Jun didn't want to think about this question, but his subconscious forced him to think about it. However, he couldn't come up with an answer.
It was like when he didn't do his homework when he was a child. He knew that he would be punished by the class teacher the next day, but he still held some hope and spent the night in a panic and excitement. He didn't want to think about the result, and he pretended to be calm and not nervous at all, but only he knew that his heart was pounding and his back was covered in sweat.
But when he didn't do his homework when he was a child, the only result was that the teacher would teach him and call his parents. Since he was an orphan and had no parents, the latter might not be a threat.
But now that he had grown up, he had come to a terrible and cruel world, and he had to face more things.
Especially, he was no longer alone.
He wasn't the only one taking risks.
He was prepared for the worst and had made the determination to "take the blame if anything went wrong," but he also felt that he would definitely die if he went against the God of Darkness. He couldn't help but feel a little sad.
But he didn't expect … Roschinke to return safely.
He came back, and the Ice Lord followed behind him. The two of them were silent.
Xu Jun saw that they were both wearing black flowers on their chests. This was the custom of the Blessed Continent, when commemorating the dead.
When the two of them arrived, he was eating and drinking in the center of the small forest where the First Serpentis died, surrounded by a group of Orcs … slaves.
Roschinke saw him, ignored Xu Jun's surprised and concerned expression, and showed a tired smile. "Let's go?"
Xu Jun jumped up and patted his butt. "… It's done?"
Roshienk nodded. After a while, he quickly walked to Xu Jun and hugged him. "It's over."
The God of Darkness, Seur, in his last moments, became the Lord Of The Deep Seur. He asked Your Majesty The Demon King to let him die as the Lord of The Deep and offered his heart.
Roschinke looked at him in a daze and gradually lost his vitality. Roschinke then said as if he was making an oath, "Don't worry, this is no longer the Age of Gods."
Seur showed a faint, almost indiscernible smile.
The Icefield Overlord, Weize, was also here. His companion, his protector when he was young, the Icefield Overlord, who was like an elder to him, was also here to watch him die. He knew.
The negative effects in his heart gradually dissipated, and the lost love and reputation didn't seem so painful. He seemed to be walking in a long tunnel.
In the dark tunnel, there was only a trace of light at the end. "Do you want to go together?"
He heard a familiar voice that made him feel happy. Xu Jun. This was Xu Jun, his Hero Xu Jun.
In that short summer, they had watched the fireworks at night in the human city east of Snow Blade together. They had also made a promise to go to Xu Jun's favorite town, Night Color, to set off fireworks together.
"Do you want to go together?"
This promise didn't come true. They each maintained the illusion that there would always be time to set off fireworks in the future. In the end, it was shattered.
"… Let's do it now."
The Lord Of The Deep Seur finally calmly accepted his death.
This was the last scene Vize saw.
When the Lord Of The Deep Seur died, what he saw wasn't the death of a companion who had once betrayed him. Instead, as an elder, he watched the life of the "child" he had always loved dissipate.
For a person, the death of a parent and the premature death of a child were different. The former's departure made one grow up instantly, as if a small tree had finally lost a mountain that it could rely on. The latter made one feel more … guilty.
It was as if the small tree that should have been protected by him was broken in front of his eyes.
He should have protected him, but in the end, he could only watch him die.
Vize and Roschinke sat quietly for a while. Roschinke was still holding the dirty ball in his hand. The metal edged divinity had disappeared and turned into ashes like rust. He had to carefully collect it so that it wouldn't pollute the seawater under his feet.
After a while, the two were awakened by a sudden clap of thunder in the sky.
Roschinke asked, "What would have happened if you had gotten the divinity of the God of Darkness?"
Vize grinned with an ugly expression. "Then you would have died."
Thinking of this, his mood became even more complicated.
Seur was indeed the most soft-hearted person among them. If it had been anyone else who had gotten this divinity, their soul might have been contaminated long ago, and they would have changed from a passive person to a person who actively pursued ambition.
Desire was the most terrible thing in the world. Not only did humans suffer from it, but even at their level, it was difficult to say that they could completely maintain their rationality without worrying about being blinded by ambition and desire.
Let's put it this way. The Ice Lord was naturally obedient to the Demon King, but that was under the condition that he was rational. But if he was given a chance to surpass the Demon King now, would he be dissatisfied with his current position?
It was like everyone knew that stealing was illegal, but if you put a precious treasure in front of someone and told them that the probability of being caught was very low, how many people could guarantee that they wouldn't be tempted at all?
For the divinity of the God of Darkness, this temptation was already a sign that his mental defenses were being destroyed.
The next step was to slowly nibble away at it.
Roschinke, like the Ice Lord, was frightened by this terrible possibility. What if he had been chosen by the divinity of the God of Darkness?
Would he have been able to maintain his current state of mind?
When he hugged Xu Jun, he couldn't help but think about this question, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt lucky.
But the lucky ones were them, and the unfortunate ones were Seur. This made them feel even more uncomfortable, and the guilt of the lucky ones towards the unlucky ones made the beast in his heart wail.
Xu Jun patted Roschinke's back again and again, and thought in a daze that it was really difficult to appease a 1.9m tall man. Why couldn't the Demon King be his little wife?
In the end, the words "little wife" disgusted him quite a bit. _ (: 3∀ ∠) _
"It's okay, it's all in the past, it's okay …" Xu Jun didn't ask him what had happened, but he could feel Roschinke's sadness. It seemed that things weren't as simple as the "Lord Of The Deep's rebellion" as he had thought before.
No matter what, Roschinke had lost his companions, and he didn't even know how to comfort this man who had always valued his companions and subordinates.
He remembered that when he was playing games, he had also lost his "companions" who had always been by his side. In the end, they were NPCs in the game, but because of their high intelligence and strong humanity, they could almost be regarded as "humans".
After they died, Xu Jun cried bitterly and spent three whole days in a daze. He couldn't believe what he had experienced, but in the end, this pain turned into a long period of peaceful reminiscence.
Roschinke's pain would only be a million times more intense than his at that time.
At times like this, he could only rely on himself to walk out of it. Xu Jun sighed in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. "Let's go, let's go home."
Roschinke let out a muffled "Okay".
The Ice Lord didn't stay to watch. He paused for a moment and then quickly left.
This time, Xu Jun didn't have to bear the grudge of the Icelandic Lord, the Evil Granny. He heaved a sigh of relief. But just as he was about to leave with Luosienk, he heard a commotion behind him.
"Master!
Take us with you! "
… Oh, it seems that he forgot about the group of Orc slaves who were captured by the old Serpentis as sacrifices. _ (: 3∀ ∠) _
When Roschinke arrived, he was in a hurry and didn't notice this group of Orcs who were treated as background characters.
Now that he raised his head from Xu Jun's arms, he saw that this group of Orcs were wearing revealing clothes and had delicate faces. The way they looked at Xu Jun was suspicious.
This kind of … look of dependence mixed with worship, he was too familiar with it!
In the past, when those evil women were by his side, they all looked at him like this!
Of course, he didn't care!
— — Xu Jun, you must see the faces of these little bitches clearly!!!
