The thick clouds outside the window gradually moved away and were about to swallow up the ray of sunshine from the day.

Night is coming soon.

"Do you like the wood carving I gave you?" Naraku looked at him: "Keep it, take it away, and go... wherever you want to go."

In the silence, she suddenly said this.

Su Mingan raised her head and saw the smile on her face.

A gust of breeze rushed in from the window, blowing her long hair like rays of light in an instant.

She closed her eyes slightly, and the gauze of her skirt was like white water splashes, flowing lightly in the wind.

When night fell completely and the last ray of sunset completely disappeared, he saw her opening her eyes that had completely faded.

"Rin...no. You don't know your real name."

She slightly bent her eyes, and her eyes, which had always been bright and lustrous, were now as dim as twilight:

"...Happy nineteenth birthday to you in advance."

…

The next second, the night pressed in, momentarily covering her flowing pale hair.

Vision changes.

…

Su Mingan stood in a sea of ​​fiery red magma.

The sand table floated, the royal city was silent, and the scorching wind brushed his eyelashes.

His eyes were a little dazed, and he stood there as if frozen.

[Welcome back to the Demon King’s Castle—respect the great Demon King—!]

The intense and high-pitched voice of the system came as promised, ringing in his ears.

But before his eyes, it seemed that Naraku's extremely clean smile was still there.

She is wishing him a happy birthday.

His own, happy nineteenth birthday.

"..."

Su Ming'an was absolutely certain that Naraku was not some self-awakened NPC. Otherwise, given his character, he would not have remained silent for so long.

Even when Luna came here just now, she had always been indifferent and had no reaction to the words "player" and "world" they used.

But just now,

In the countdown of her life,

...This girl seems to have completed a "self-awakening" that is close to breaking through the limitations of the system.

She realized the difference between him and Su Lin because of pure love.

With her pure "human" will, she broke through the "personality" restrictions from the system.

[Great Demon King - don't be stunned, please deploy the Demon King's City as soon as possible to welcome the brave men who are coming -!] The excited voice of the system continued to sound, as if it wanted to urge him very much.

But he suddenly smiled.

An uncontrollable smile appeared on his lips, and then widened like a tearing crack.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He clutched tightly the wooden carving he had just taken out of the backpack compartment, and the smile seemed to be tearing across his face.

【……】

The system seems to be stuck.

[Lord Demon King, please don’t be happy in advance! The power of the brave is very powerful, you...] It shouted immediately.

In previous copies, its emotions have never been so intense. Perhaps it was the last level that made it more exciting.

"System." Su Mingan rubbed his fingers against the wood carving: "You failed to tease us."

The system was stuck for a moment, and he seemed a little confused: [Lord Demon King, what do you mean...?]

Su Mingan stopped smiling.

He is very happy,

Because he finally saw an independent and free creature in the true sense.

The moment he saw Naraku's pure smile, he already understood that Sherrod's choice was by no means the result of the system and character settings - the knight's firm belief was confirmed at this moment.

...They are clearly creatures of flesh and blood.

Even if it is an NPC that is set as "unawakenable", under extreme circumstances and with abundant emotions, she actually breaks through the limitations.

Human beings have unlimited potential, and their feelings are something that cannot be fully explained by research.

For the sake of her children, a mother can lift a car that is far beyond her ability. For the sake of her lover, people who are usually extremely afraid of death can rush into the sea of ​​fire without hesitation.

It is a kind of thing that allows people to easily violate their usual "settings", allowing them to break through their ordinary self and become a glorious existence.

The moment he saw Naraku smiling at him and wishing him "Happy Birthday", her image became extremely clear in his mind.

She is no longer the epitome of the image of "a delicate young lady who lost her family and came to Praia for her lover".

Her soul, under the countdown of life, has clearly become extremely free.

Of course, this situation can also be explained by the image of "this is an NPC that can break through limitations under special circumstances", but at this moment, this unique "personality" has become no longer important.

She lives in everyone's eyes.

He looked at the wood carving in his hand.

Carved in the wood carving is a handsome young man with a straight back, an upward smile, and a pair of always bright eyes.

The fiery red sparks of the Demon King's City exploded in his ears. When he lifted the wooden sculpture, he saw a line of small words on the chassis.

…

【When you wake up in the silent dawn,】

【You will see me spread my wings and fly high.】

…

…

Epic war music sounded.

In the blood-red Demon King's City, the legendary brave man finally arrived.

Su Ming'an looked at the black shadow holding a sword that was deliberately covered by the black mist and slowly approached, and heard the voice of the system.

[Lord Demon King! The brave has a "God-given heart". You cannot attack him directly, but you can transform the phantom of the soldier you have developed to help you fight - to defeat the brave! 】

Su Mingan stretched out his hand.

White light flashed.

Puppet figures of various shapes guarded this blood-red land. The moment they saw the black shadow warrior, they roared and rushed forward.

Golden Rose, Black Lover, Moonlight Watcher, Frost Ruler, Divine Glory, Blue Rose, Silent Knight... names that were extremely familiar to Su Ming'an swept away like a flood.

Their only enemy is the dark shadow that keeps moving forward in the epic music.

"Roar--!"

"Roar--!"

The roar of unknown meaning resounded throughout this blood-red land.

Sparks exploded in the air, and the brave man was as powerful as a flame. He slashed through the puppets attacking him with an unparalleled posture, and rushed towards Su Mingan who was standing at the door of the church like chopping melons and vegetables.

The puppets tried their best and fought fearlessly, falling down in rows. But soon more puppets would rush forward with a fearless attitude to defend this bloody land.

When looking at the shadow warrior surrounded by puppets, Su Mingan's mentality was a little strange.
