Bai En walked through the massacre on the battlefield and saw a familiar figure. His heart pounded. Angelica is still alive. He almost stopped thinking and walked straight across the crowd of mice towards her. Around him, the rats turned and ran away. They had learned to be afraid of his glittering blade, and as he approached the two dwarves who were madly killing.

It is only his appearance at this moment that seems to be enough to make them lose the courage to fight. In his heart, he had no doubt that the Ratman had been defeated. They wandered around to find a way out, their formation was destroyed, and their discipline disappeared. They lost their leaders, and the previous raids of human captives were enough to defeat them. Now, when they run away, the only question is how to keep themselves alive.

"Angelica!" Bai En shouted, but she didn't hear what he said. At that moment, a giant black-haired mouse rushed towards her. When Bai En finally saw her again, he realized that he was about to lose her, so he ran forward to stop. He didn't have to worry. Angelica swiftly dodges the ratman's blow and puts a sword in its heart. It groaned in pain, fell forward, and then fell head-down into the mud, surrounded by a rapidly spreading pool of blood.

Angelica glanced at something from the corner of her eyes, and turned to prepare for the attack. She and Bai En faced each other for a long time. Neither of them moved. Did not say anything. Then they smiled at the same time and then moved together. Regardless of danger, Bai En couldn't help but hug her in her arms. Their lips touched together. Their bodies are close to each other.

They were surrounded by crazy fighting and roaring sounds, standing there as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Eisenheim-Schneider looked around. He was very tired. From the magic he just cast to the reaction he suffered last night, it has had a big impact on him. His limbs were heavy with fatigue. Even when he was an apprentice, when he had been vigil for his tutor for many days, he had never felt so tired.

However, victory belongs to them. The ratmen were defeated, and although they were still dominant in numbers, he doubted whether they would return. They are not naturally brave animals, and it took them a long time to recover from failure.

Eisenheim-Schneider likes to think of himself as a scholar, not a warrior, but he is satisfied with everything he does here. He took a stand against evil forces and helped people fight them back. To some extent, he feels that this experience is much more satisfying than casting a protective spell on the customer's home or carriage. He began to learn about the exciting things he had read about war. However, when he saw Bian and Angelica kissing, he smiled bitterly.

It seems that as a protected scholar, he seems to have taken a crash course in various mood swings. He felt jealous and gnawed at him and tortured him, but he knew that all the magic he could not eradicate it.

He is very fascinated by Angelica. In the past few days, he felt himself controlled by passion. He really should have left this long hall a few days ago, but he stayed here on the pretext of waiting for the return of the "Grenier Will". In fact, from Angelica's look at Bai En, he guessed that she would not react to his enthusiasm.

Unless, he thought of a very guilty but malicious thought, what happened to Bai En. He was taken aback by the vicious thought in his mind, so he shot a golden light and slashed at the running ratman.

They died in the most satisfying way. Eisenheim-Schneider will never admit that the key reason he did this was because of jealousy.

Silence came suddenly. The battle is over. The dead lay in piles around the long hall. ‘Glennell ’s Will’ hovered overhead, nuzzling the docking tower with his nose, just like a horse tied to a pillar. Those ratmen were defeated.

It's very late. Bai En was very tired, but very happy. He held Angelica's hand, as if worried that if he let go of her, she would disappear, and she didn't seem to want to lose his grip at all. All the ominous things on his way back now seem to be meaningless and useless illusions.

She saw him as happy as he saw her, he couldn't describe how pleased he was. He could only stand there, staring blankly at her eyes. Can't say anything. Fortunately, she seemed satisfied with this.

Snowry walked over. "A beautiful battle," he said. There was a layer of black blood on his bandage, and dozens of new small wounds made him bleed, but he seemed satisfied with his fate.

"Do you call that a fight?" Guerrero sarcastically. "I cut a more dangerous hairstyle."

"I don't want to see your barber," Bai En said.

"Bai En made a joke." Snowry said with a smile. "Snowry found it interesting."

"Let's go have some beer," said Grey Logan, "There is nothing more thirsty than a little exercise."

"Snowry wants a barrel of vodka," Snowry said. "Snowry will get it."

The dwarves have already started to climb down from the dock where the ‘Grennell ’s Will’ is moored. Soon, a small group of them helped Mrs. Casler pile up the body for incineration.

Bai En thinks it is the best time for him and Angelica to return to their room. She agreed.

"I never thought I would see you again," Angelica said softly.

Dawn is beautiful. The golden sunlight slanted down and shone on the endless grass around them. The birds are singing. It was so calm, if it weren't for the slight smell of burnt meat in the air, Bai En could hardly believe that any fighting had happened the night before.

"Several times, I thought I would never see you again." He replied: "In fact, many times."

"Is this trip bad?"

"Very bad."

"On the waste soil?"

"In the wasteland and Gunter Grimm. If I tell you what we found there, you won't believe it."

"You can try."

"Okay," he said, holding her tightly in his arms.

"I don't mean that," she said, and then kissed him.

"I thought we should do this now." He said, pulling her into the long grass.

"Yes," she replied.

Later, they lay on his old wool cloak, she supported it with her elbow, and began to scratch his face with a grass spike. "What does that wasteland eroded by evil look like?"

"Do we really want to talk about this?"

"If you don't want it, don't."

Bai En thought for a while before answering. "That's a terrible place. Like the dreams of crazy gods."

"It's not very specific."

"It's far more than any of your imagination. Its changes seem to be random. Even the scenery is flickering, moving, changing ..."

"Sounds like a mirage in the desert."

"Maybe. But there are a lot of things there, huge statues as big as mountains, destroyed cities that no one has ever heard of, and I don't know how they appear, like falling from the sky. Countless monsters and wearing black Armor people, they are all dedicated to ... "

"What is dedication? Why are you silent?"

"They are coming here. We saw them from the airship. A large group of people. I can't count them, and I worry that they are just the pioneers of a larger army."

"Why didn't you mention this before?"

"Because I am very happy to see you, and I believe Borek has told your father now."

Angelica straightened up, staring at the horizon. Bai En noticed that she was looking north, to a desolate mountain in the distance, and those peaks were the boundary of evil waste. He felt a change in her mood, a new vigilant nature, and some kind of fear in it.

"The forces of darkness used to come here. We live on their borders. These are the border areas. We fought against them and won in the past."

"It's not against the kind of power that is coming. This will be like the evil invasion four centuries ago, in the era of 'pious Marnus'."

She frowned and turned to stare at Bai En's eyes. "you sure?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

"Why is it now? Why is it in our time?" Bai En feels that she has found a trace of fear in her voice ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ I believe that ‘Pious Marnus’ has asked the same question. "

"This is not an answer, Bai En." Angelica's voice now has an angry tone. Her eyebrows were clenched, ruining the calmness of her thick eyebrows. The corresponding troubles flooded his mind.

"I'm not a prophet, Angelica, I'm just a ... I can't answer these questions. I only know that it matches what I have seen and heard elsewhere ..."

"Is there another place?" Her words were sharp. He didn't like her tone.

"In the Marnus empire, cultists thrive. Every city has worshippers of evil gods. Horned beasts are all over the forest. The number of aberrations, that is, those that have mutated, are increasing every month. There are an increasing number of evil spellcasters. I sometimes feel that the doomsday prophet is right, and the end of the world is coming. "

"This is not a happy word," she said, reaching out and grabbing his hand with a strong force.

"Now is not a happy time." He reached out and stroked her cheek. "Maybe we should go back immediately. See what others say."

She smiled palely and leaned over to kiss his forehead. "I'm glad you are here," she said suddenly.

"Me too." Bai En replied. He did not say that if it was really dangerous, he would immediately take her out of here and return to Fatalin Island. Even if the end of the world comes, Bane believes that perhaps the remote enough Fatalin Island will be destroyed in the end.
