[Su Lin, the battle in Praia is never a battle between black and white. 】

[But it needs to be, so I will let it be. No matter it is killed by the soul clan...by the enemy...or by an outside invader.]

[No matter who will win this meaningless victory in the end. Hatred is the food of Praia, and struggle is the soul of Praia - and we need these.]

[Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, regardless of whether anyone will be harmed by it.]

[After all, it is only the individual who is injured, and the entire Playa will survive as a result. 】

…

Su Mingan once thought.

The brave and fearless soul hunters who are regarded as heroes, in the eyes of the leaders of the three parties, are just pawns that cause hatred, the fuse of the endless struggle, and the sharpest swords in their hands.

They were trained to be full of justice and passion, brainwashed by the stories told by people, and fought for their whole lives on this meaningless battlefield... and finally became heroes who sacrificed heroically.

He erected a monument, established his name, had his poems sung, and left his name behind him, becoming an iconic heroic soul hunter, and then inspiring the next generation to continue moving forward.

He had thought it was meaningless.

He believes that these people are just living in the lies of those in power trying to maintain balance.

...but now it seems.

...When he turned back and saw the tragic battle across the sky on this small boat,

...He realized the meaning of Ellas's words before his death, "Because only struggle and death can make us regain our dignity."

It really awakens people's blood.

The same applies to Elras. Before Elras died, he still remembered the look in his eyes that he would rather commit suicide than become a soul clan.

The land of Praia has a unique spiritual heritage.

Those who belong to the soul hunters, those who belong to the residents, and those who belong to the soul clan.

This kind of inheritance that awakens people's blood and dignity cannot be cultivated in a land rooted in peace. It must be cultivated by blood and war.

And this kind of bloodiness is difficult for players to possess.

"Wow--"

He paddled the oar in his hand towards the edge of the barrier. The sea was rarely calm, and the sea monster that jumped down was also dealt with by him using space vibration.

But this cannot last long. His mana is limited after all. Even if he keeps taking drugs, the potion still has a public cooling time.

The number of sea monsters has increased, and as the cracks in the barrier have expanded, the number of these guys has grown exponentially, and they are almost completely surrounding him.

No matter how high the damage is and how large the space vibration is, they cannot be completely cleared away.

The situation is already very critical, even the barrage in the upper right corner is worried about him.

[What should I do, what should I do, what should I do... Nuo'er and Lu Shu should have been called, why did they rush here alone...]

[Noel should stand on the city wall and command, I just saw him in the field of vision. 】

[Where is Lu Shu? Where is Lin Yin? Lin Yin is the occupier, she cannot die. The situation is so chaotic now, where have they gone? 】

[Does the Pope also need someone to guard him to prevent him from running into the church to communicate with the gods? Has Lu Shu gone to do this? 】

[No matter what, you shouldn’t run here alone. It’s too dangerous. The car won’t roll over...]

[Everyone believes in the first player. He cannot die or fall here. No matter who dies, he will not die! No way! 】

…

As far as the eye can see, they are all airtight, like sea monsters passing by locusts.

An almost overwhelming sense of crisis permeated the area.

"Hula——"

The sea breeze carrying the smell of blood violently blew up the small boat that could sink at any time.

Su Mingan looked at the barrier close at hand, and suddenly felt something burning in his chest.

He put his hand on his chest and saw a light blue energy body that seemed to be about to come out of his body.

The moment he approached this overwhelming sea monster,

He seemed to hear a gentle and touching call from his own soul.

"Welcome back."

"...my dear guest."

…

[Perfect clearance progress: 88%]

…

Outside the city wall, tens of thousands of sea monsters rushed forward like a storm.

The running residents already showed expressions of despair.

They ran as hard as they could, but they could only watch the barrier falling faster and faster.

Behind them, the sea monster approached their bodies. Dozens of corpses had fallen down, their necks were bitten with blood, and there were not a few whose bodies and heads were separated.

Despair permeates the sand.

A red-haired girl ran as hard as she could on the sand.

Her steps were slow, and her bones seemed to be "clicking".

She ran on the fine white sand, but it was as hard as walking in a mire.

She subconsciously dug around in her arms, wanting to use her teleportation pocket watch, but suddenly realized that it had been given away by her.

"...It's an advantage for you, Rin." She gritted her teeth and said, "This is my dowry. You have to bring it back with you..."

...at least take it to her grave.

She raised her head and looked at the distance in front of her that looked like a chasm.

The brilliant, somewhat dazzling white barrier lowered lower and lower in front of her.

There was a "bang" sound, and her whole body was shaken.

Behind her, a light blue sea monster suddenly hugged her body. The red gun in her hand immediately raised back, but her wrist made an unnatural "click" sound, as if the bones were misaligned.

The bright red, flaming spear passed by the sea monster rushing towards him.

At this moment, she knew she was done.

The transparent siren pressed against her back, and its fangs pressed against her neck.

She turned her head.

It was a siren with a touch of golden hair and beautiful facial features.

Those bright red eyes reflected in her eyes, like rising flames.

The distant sky hung in her field of vision, and the flames all over the sky exploded and fell like heavenly fire.

The bright red color is like the sea waves, and the light blue siren blends together.

The scenery looked stunning.

Through the distant snow and wind,

She saw a yellow boat on the vast sea, and a shadow on the boat that seemed to be looking back.

He seemed to be looking at himself.

At this moment, what she was thinking about was not the city in the clouds filled with treasures, the bizarre legend of Praia, or the bright red spear in her hand.

She looked at the small and swaying boat, and thought of the Ater, the empire's so-called "unsinkable pearl".

She thought of that giant ship and of her young, proud and carefree self.

She remembered the unpleasant meeting with him at the dinner table, and the one who walked away with her bag and pointed at his nose and scolded her.

...She was so luxurious at that time.

She is homesick.

…

"Wow--"

A somewhat heavy buzz sounded.

A pitch-black giant crow, like a city wall, protected the fleeing residents.

The sea monster collided with it and was immediately knocked to pieces.

The crow flapped its wings close to the coast, and the wind it brought instantly turned into a storm, pushing the approaching sea monster violently back.

Under its protection, the closing process of the barrier went particularly smoothly.

And the moment before the barrier closed,

A figure wearing golden armor suddenly lowered his body and thrust in from below.

He suddenly approached Naraku, who was very close to the barrier. Fine white sand flew up under his feet. With a very crisp "swish" sound, the sea monster was slashed back several steps with a sword.

When it saw Sherrod, the Kraken paused strangely, and there was a hint of panic in its eyes.

Most of these sea monsters have no sense and only know how to kill, but this sea monster actually has some real emotions in its eyes at this moment.
