"I...don't want them to die..."

"They are dead, their mission has been completed. What you have to do is complete your mission, you can't waste your life."

"My... mission is?"

"Escape from here, become stronger with me, and become a hero."

"Hero?"

"Well, if you are not a hero, it is difficult to carry out real revenge."

"..."

I loosened my grip.

Sure enough...I still can't overcome the fear of death.

Sorry, Sister He, sorry, Mr. Lonely.

Sorry, everyone, please forgive my incompetence.

I wiped my tears with my sleeve, opened my right leg, and stepped heavily on the snow.

One day, I will return all this hatred in the name of a hero!

I buried my head in running, and the cold wind blocked my ears. I could only hear the instructions of my mate, and thus successfully evaded the demons.

I came to the edge of the town.

"There is no danger nearby."

After hearing this, I breathed a long sigh of relief.

I looked outside the town.

As long as you get out from here... it's a new beginning.

"Wait a minute, this town seems to be surrounded by a barrier. It's impossible to leave directly."

"Then...what should we do?"

I habitually rely on my partner.

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

"What——"

"Wait!"

At this time, a voice came from behind me.

I look back.

"Please take me with you... I want to rush to the nearest town and ask them to send troops to help."

I noticed that the speaker's body was covered with burns, and the blood on his arm was still falling drop by drop on the snow, but his eyes were full of calmness and his tone was full of no doubt:

"I have people I must save, please..."

Maybe I was shocked, so I nodded slowly.

"It's time to allow you to use my abilities."

As soon as I finished my words, a rusty sword appeared in my hand. The sword was so heavy that I had to use both hands to hold it.

"This sword has no name yet."

"Well..."

"Now you just need to name it and it belongs to you."

"Okay..."

I dragged my sword and came to the barrier.

I feel the energy fluctuations coming from the front.

Split it and it's all over.

Only by splitting it can I embark on the road to becoming a hero.

I silently recited the name I gave the sword in my mind, and injected magic power into the sword.

The rust on the sword fell off bit by bit, and it glowed with a dazzling color. I felt that powerful power was constantly concentrated on the blade, and at the same time, the feeling of exhaustion of magic power also came violently.

"Your current strength is only enough to swing this sword once. The barrier is self-healing, so you must jump out immediately after splitting the barrier!"

"I know."

I took a deep breath.

I want to be a hero.

No matter what the cost.
