Lathel slowly opened his eyes, and he saw a familiar atmosphere. That's right, this was the space where he fought the Demon Lord.
He struggled to sit up, but he noticed that the water on the ground was gone and the surroundings were extremely quiet.
"Arine?"
Lathel was startled. He saw Arine in the distance and ran towards her.
He bowed his head, hugged Arine in his arms, and gently listened to her breathing.
Her breath was very faint, but that was enough to prove she was still alive. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lathel was filled with childlike joy; he bowed his head and gently kissed her forehead. After losing consciousness and entering a recovery state, he saw many foggy memories.
No, to be more precise, those were the memories that he wanted Dandite to hide so he wouldn't feel sad anymore.
After all, in that world, he gave a lot of his emotions and love to Selvia. He thought that he could use his sincere feelings to win against the male protagonist and Selvia.
But in the end… it all fell apart.
No matter how hard Lathel tried, he could not replace the male lead.
The time he stayed in that world only caused him more emotional damage.
That's also the reason he wanted Dandite to cover up his memories of being in that world. Besides, there is another reason.
He didn't want to let the emotions he gained in that world affect his emotions when he went to another world.
Also… he didn't want to look for Selvia's image among the people in the new world because it would seem as if he was looking for someone to replace her.
Which would be unfair to his new love.
Lathel saw many hidden memories; however, most of them were about Arine. As for Selvia, he could only remember her name and a few memories related to her.
He couldn't even remember her face, and yet… he had a feeling that he would see her again in this world.
Lathel sighed. He took out a recovery pill from his space bag that he planned to give to Arine.
"You don't need to use that pill."
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, startling Lathel. He turned his head and immediately saw the Demon Lord's puppet standing near him.
"You…" When Lathel saw that the puppet had no damage, he immediately despaired.
"Don't worry… My seal has been reinforced. You're very lucky, kid." The Demon Lord said as it walked closer to Lathel.
It bent down, and even though the puppet had no eyes, Lathel could tell it was looking at Arine.
A moment later, it continued speaking: "She will wake up soon, then both of you can leave."
Hearing that, Lathel felt puzzled: "Why is it so easy?"
"Hm?! Is it making you feel uncomfortable?" The Demon Lord shrugged as it spoke.
"No…" Lathel shook her head: "I just feel confused. If everything was so easy, why did you pull off such a big show in the first place?"
"Hm?! What do you mean…" The puppet tilted its head to look at Lathel.
Lathel sighed and said: "Okay, let's pretend I didn't say anything."
"Hahahaha… After all, it's been a long time since anyone has come here, so having a little fun with you isn't too much, right?" The Demon Lord suddenly smiled as it spoke.
"Oh! You're more of a hero than any of the heroes I've ever met." The Demon Lord suddenly remembered the past, smiled, and said: "The heroes I have met are completely different from you."
"You can joke any way you like." Lathel frowned and glanced at the Demon Lord: "But I will not allow you to endanger the lives of others."
"Oh! You're more of a hero than any of the heroes I've ever met." The Demon Lord suddenly remembered the past, smiled, and said: "The heroes I have met are completely different from you."
"To achieve their goal, they used the dirtiest and most cruel means. To be able to kill one person, they have no qualms about sacrificing many people."
"Even though this world hails them, calls them heroes, and calls them warriors of justice, However, to me, they are no different from me; it's just that the perception of creatures in this world about me is different from that group of people."
Hearing that, Lathel shook her head and sighed: "I don't understand what you are saying..."
"Don't!" The Demon Lord suddenly shouted: "Lathel… you understand very well what I am saying, right?"
Lathel sighed and said: "So what does that have to do with me?"
"Lathel… You are very special…"
"Don't talk nonsense." Lathel shouted, interrupting the Demon Lord's words.
"Hahahaha… Lathel, if you had the chance to become a god, would you take it?"
Hearing Demon Lord's question, Lathel frowned, shook his head, and said: "I'm not interested. I just want to go back to the real world. Hurry up, take me back to the real world."
"Hahahaha… You're really in a hurry. Okay…" The Demon Lord waved its hand, and a vortex of space appeared in front of Lathel.
Seeing this, Lathel quickly brought Arine to the space vortex in front of her.
"Do you trust me?" As Lathel passed by the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord's voice rang out again.
Lathel stopped walking and glanced at the Demon Lord: "Of course. If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me from the beginning. There is no need to lie to me."
"As for Arine… I believe she will wake up soon."
The Demon Lord sighed: "Ah! You make me feel so touched; for the first time, a human being trusts the Demon Lord."
"You were just defeated by me, Lathel. Kindness, if not placed in the right place, is a double-edged sword.
Lathel glanced at the Demon Lord and said: "You are allowing me to leave; that is also your kindness, right?"
Demon Lord: "…"
"You... okay… you should go." The puppet waved its hand, signalling he didn't care anymore.
Lathel didn't say anything more; he just carried Arine and stepped into the space vortex.
As soon as Lathel entered that space vortex, it disappeared. The Demon Lord smiled and said: "It seems... he is much more interesting than I thought."
"Hm… maybe… I should observe him a little more, hahahaha…"
…
Lathel saw the space in front of him become distorted and then begin to stabilise again.
A familiar scene caught his eye, making him happy: "This place is... Goblin Forest."
Lathel immediately recognised this place because this was the first place he set foot in when he appeared in this world.
He then looked around to see where the main road was. However, he felt that something was wrong here, a strange feeling enveloped him, making him feel uncomfortable.
Bang!
A bell rang, startling Lathel. The sound of that bell is filled with divinity and clarity, making people feel secure.
However, Lathel did not dare to take it lightly at this time, so he looked around cautiously.
Bang!
The bell rang again. He glanced around, trying to find the source of the bell.
But, strangely, no matter how much he searched, he couldn't determine where the bell was coming from. It was as if that bell were ringing right in his head.
Bang!
Another bell rang, and Lathel was startled. He felt his heart beat faster, as if something terrible was about to happen.
KRITTT!!
Suddenly, the bell disappeared, replaced by a bird chirping.
The sky suddenly turned dark. Lathel raised his head to look at the sky and was startled.
In the sky, a phoenix seemingly made up of countless flames was burning fiercely.
Its wingspan was over a thousand metres, and it covered the entire sky above Lathel's head. Even though the bird was flying far above him, he still felt the terrible temperature radiating from it.
Kritt!
The phoenix sang again, and a wave of fire appeared, spreading around like a red wave in the sky.
"Pope…" A woman's voice rang out, full of majesty and strength, like a disdainful queen, wanting others to kneel at her feet.
"What do you want to do?"
The phoenix turned into countless flames and then disappeared. A large flame rushed straight towards him, startling him.
However, its speed was too fast; in the blink of an eye, that fire was in front of him.
But… there wasn't any collision or explosion. The giant fire turned into a woman.
The woman wore a red cloak, her red hair flying like flames. Her beautiful face was perfect, as if there was no woman in this world who could be more perfect than her.
She was luxurious, majestic, divine—like a god—untouchable, unscorned.
When Lathel saw that woman, the first thought that appeared in his mind was that he had to kneel down and not look directly at that perfect face.
"Empress!" Lathel immediately realised who that woman was, and he immediately shouted.
When Catheryne looked at Lathel, countless emotions appeared in her eyes. From joy and happiness to satisfaction and passion... Her emotions were like a bomb that was constantly exploding in her mind.
Catheryne took a deep breath to control herself. However, she couldn't help herself, so she hugged Lathel into her arms.
Lathel was startled; he did not think that Catheryne would hug him again. However, a familiar feeling made him not resist but instead enjoy it.
It was a strange feeling, as if he had been waiting for this feeling for a long time. He waited so long that when Catheryne hugged him, he felt a bit disappointed and happy—two opposing emotions that made him feel confused.
Catheryne was startled and quickly let go of Lathel: "Sorry, I..."
"Ah!" Lathel was also startled; he knew something strange had happened to Catheryne, so he quickly explained: " Empress, sorry, I was carrying Arine, so I couldn't keep my balance and fell on you."
