Chapter 179 You are arrogant, you are a failure

After seeing such a humble me, such a powerless and weak me.

Are you still willing to trust me, accompany me, support me...?

Theresia no longer knew how to use words to express the complex and turbulent feelings in her heart.

The destruction of Yuhuo, the death of his brother, his own humbleness and powerlessness, Xia Ming's drawing of his sword to slay the dragon...

Everything had a huge impact on her and overturned her thoughts.

She tightened her grip on the sword hilt in her hand, trying to muster up strength and courage again.

"Well, what's the point of telling you this now? I was too confident and thought there wouldn't be any problems in the future. As a result, Trid died."

Xia Ming suddenly let out a heavy sigh.

"elder brother……"

Theresia closed her eyes sadly, and then opened her eyes again, filled with determination.

The deceased is gone, and the only thing they can do now is to continue to walk firmly with the memory of the deceased in mind.

"It's my fault, Xia Ming, it's me." She tried to comfort Xia Ming, who looked gloomy. "But, for my brother and for everyone, we cannot be defeated by sadness. We must work hard to live strong..."

"... Survive?"

Xia Ming looked at her quietly, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face.

It was a very strange smile that made Theresia feel uneasy.

"I'm sorry, Theresia, I don't accept this ending, so..."

He spoke calmly, slowly raising his arm, and a black light that made Theresia feel very uneasy and frightened appeared on his fingertips.

That is the black light of destruction, the black light that cuts off and destroys everything.

The evil dragon escaped, the wind and snow stopped, and all dangers were over, but Theresa suddenly felt a greater fear in her heart.

"No, Xia Ming, don't!"

At this moment, she suddenly realized something and quickly reached out to grab his arm.

However, it was too late, that light fell on Xia Ming's heart, destroying all his vitality, along with his soul.

Then, the eyes that had been looking at her tenderly dimmed instantly before her eyes, losing all color and sound.

Xia Ming, who had always been warm and encouraging to her, who supported, accompanied and believed in her, just fell into her arms and died silently and completely.

The evil dragon escaped and the snowstorm stopped, but why did Xia Ming... choose to die?

"No!!!"

Theresia held Xia Ming's body and fell to the ground in pain and despair.

On this day, she lost her family and her lover at the same time.

The red flame sword fell to the snow with a clang, and no more flames bloomed from its body. It was as quiet as death.

【Ding! You are dead!】

【mission failed!】

[Settlement evaluation obtained by you: 47]

[Whether this is uploaded as the final settlement, after uploading, this dream trial will be completely locked, unable to enter, and unable to receive any further rewards.]

【whether?】

no.

Xia Ming woke up from the bed with a trace of heartache and confusion.

This was the first time that he took the initiative to commit suicide in the dream world. It was not for a girl, but for his uncle.

He smiled to himself, got off the bed, walked into the bathroom and slapped his cheeks with cold water.

If he had not chosen to commit suicide just now, perhaps the girl who had experienced such grief would cheer up under his comfort and really embark on the road of becoming a Valkyrie. With his assistance, she could kill the evil dragon, kill the Ice King, and save the world.

Northland.

However, that was based on the sacrifice of my uncle.

He hates such sacrifices.

Using Trid's sacrifice to completely awaken the girl? He didn't want to see such an ending.

Isn't he constantly seeking to become stronger just to prevent such sacrifices from happening around him?

Although my uncle is just an NPC in the dream world, a character of no importance to the whole world.

Xia Ming could be like the last dream world and not care about the life and death of those believers who follow Xina.

But he remembered the tricks he had played on his uncle, the meals he diligently prepared for him and Theresa every day, his concern for Theresia, his threats to him, and his threats to him.

Compromise, remembering the way he humbled himself and begged for Theresia.

Thinking of him saving her in the end, smiling with relief, and looking weak as he wanted him to live.

Even as an NPC, my uncle is different from others.

Even if he is just a fictitious phantom in the dream world, even if it is a phantom, it is an illusion. Rather, it is precisely because it is an illusion that he does not allow such a thing to happen.

He wants to come back.

He can't even avoid illusory sacrifices in the dream world. If such a thing really happens in the real world, how can he do it?

After washing his face and waking up, he was ready to enter the dream world again.

This time, he will not let his uncle die to save him.

Open the system and click [Start Trial].

[The save point has been detected. Do you want to continue the trial from the save point? 】

【whether?】

Two archives appeared on the interface. Xia Ming selected the second archive point and clicked Yes.

In an instant, the world spins, the senses are distorted, and the world is turned upside down.

"You think... can Brother Luger pull out the sword?"

"He can definitely do it. You must know that even when he reached the sixth level, he never tried to awaken his ability. Just for now, for today, we have to believe in him. He will definitely succeed!"

The slightly cold wind blew against his cheeks. Xia Ming opened his eyes and saw Trid and Theresia beside him, the crowd gathered in the square, and the figure in the crowd who was attracting everyone's attention.

Luger tried to draw his sword and failed.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl beside him.

"Xia Ming, do you think Luger...will he succeed?" The girl held her hand like last time and asked anxiously.

"So, do you hope he succeeds?" Xia Ming looked into the girl's eyes.

"I...I don't know."

After a long silence, the girl shook her head and said in a daze.

"He will not succeed." Xia Ming said with great certainty.

He used his spiritual power to restrain his voice, allowing the sound to spread only between himself and Theresia.

Theresia was stunned for a moment, and her expression became slightly excited.

But Xia Ming's next words brought the excitement on her face to the bottom.

"You won't succeed either, Theresia."

"You must be thinking that after Luger failed, he would stand up when everyone was in despair and gloom, just like the previous Valkyries stood up when the people of the North were in despair, pulling out the red flame sword and giving everyone courage and hope.

?”

"But you won't be recognized by the Red Flame Sword. You can't pull out the sword, no matter what, because of your empty and inflated pride and because you can't recognize yourself."

"Xia Ming, you...what are you talking about?"

Theresia was completely stunned, looking at Xia Ming with a blank expression and even some disbelief.

Xia Ming, who has always supported her, always accompanied and encouraged her, and allowed her to successfully face the weak side of self-avoidance. Why...why would she say such sad words?

"Don't you understand yet, Theresia?"

Xia Ming sighed and looked towards the center of the square.

Dang, a melodious and heavy bell rang from the bell tower next to it.

There, Luge failed to draw his sword, his expression was gloomy, and his eyes lost their light.

An atmosphere of despair quickly spread in the square.

"Then you go, draw the sword, and try to inspire everyone's courage and confidence after Luger's failure... I will accompany you."

He pulled Theresia through the crowd and walked to the center of the square.
