"Senior, welcome back!"

A familiar voice came to my ears, and my vague consciousness gradually became clear.

"Matthew?"

"Um."

The girl with short cherry-blossom hair smiled: "He's very handsome."

He blushed and touched his nose. Du En knew how bad his performance was, and he really didn't want to be seen with that embarrassed look.

"It doesn't matter. As long as he is a senior, he is the most handsome in my eyes no matter what time. A senior who fights desperately to protect others cannot be denied by anyone." His head was suddenly buried in softness.

, Du En's eyes suddenly widened and his breathing became a little difficult.

"So, seniors are not allowed to despise themselves or deny themselves casually. If even seniors lose their confidence, then nothing can be done."

When Du En found it difficult to breathe, Ma Xiu finally let go of his hand, and a golden card appeared on the palm of his slowly closed hand.

"Senior, time is running out, hurry up and get new protection, we will always protect you!"

As Mashu finished speaking, the system's voice also sounded.

"Hey, congratulations, Master, for completing the instant mission: The trapped beast still fights!

Mission description: A group of mysterious enemies have launched an attack on you, and you have no choice but to resist.

Mission requirements: Wait for three days for rescue (completed)/defeat all enemies (defeated enemies: Marate Watichi, Fukube Jiro, Ugly Faced Husband, Nohara Shiki).

The mission is completed, and you will receive a reward of magic circuit*1 and an additional reward of magic rhombus*."

"Hey, congratulations to the master for completing the hidden mission, the fighter's intention.

Mission description: Survive in a desperate situation, struggle in a desperate situation, face a sudden and powerful enemy, escape or fight, the choice between a coward and a fighter.

Mission requirements: Successfully escape from combat/defeat powerful enemies (completed).

Mission reward: Class Card (Saber)*1!"

…

The golden card gradually turned into crumbs and merged with the light emitted by the magic rhombus. Du En's eyes suddenly turned dark, and an unknown voice came from his ears.

"She was born at dawn, not as the emperor's legitimate son, but as the end of a clan..."

The darkness in front of him was gradually replaced by light, and the nameless baby girl appeared in front of Du En.

The owner of the body is not himself, he is just "seeing" through this body.

The baby girl grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a young girl, and the voice continued to sound.

"Perhaps it is because she is not of genuine blood. She loves others more than her relatives, and she loves unknown citizens more than famous nobles."

"But this kind of love is selfish. While it gives everything, it will also take away everything, just like a flame."

"People's love should be something more gentle."

Not understood by others, not accepted by others, like a dictator, a tyrant...Dunn knows whose seat of heroes the card is linked to. It is a completely different extreme from King Arthur Arturia.

"Nero?"

The fifth emperor of ancient Rome was called a dictator and tyrant because he despised the Senate and suppressed Christians. He was expelled from the throne during the rebellion and became a traitor.

Nero, who loved the citizens, thought she would get help from the citizens, but until she was driven out of Rome, no one came forward to help her.

So Nero sadly chose to commit suicide.

However, this was not the end. Even if he chose to commit suicide, Nero did not die easily.

The pain in my throat, the pain in my chest, and the burning in my eyes were like a period of confusion during a high fever.

Nero seemed to hear the voice of the citizens she loved so much, saying that they would forgive her and help her.

And for these non-existent sounds, Nero opened her eyes again and again.

At sunset for the first time, impossible hallucinations hit my nose.

The second sunset, the inaudible cry tore the lips.

The third sunset...

A red cloth appeared in Du En's hand, the surrounding scenery had turned into a wilderness, and the setting sun was setting in the sky.

The girl, whose body was stained with blood, was leaning on a barren rock not far away, as if she was waiting for something.

Du En suddenly understood. He picked up the red cloth in his hand, came to the dying girl, and covered her.

At this moment, the girl who was supposed to be dead suddenly opened her eyes and smiled.

"I came very late, but thank you for your hard work."

A dazzling light bloomed on the girl's chest, and Du En heard another voice, which was exactly the same as the girl's.

"I really don't want the Master to see Yu in such a miserable state, but this is also for the Master. Well, next, I will give you Yu's protection."

"Even at the last moment, you must bloom like a flower in the sky and don't give up."

"After all, you are my most important Master!"

Until the end, Du En could not clearly see the girl's face, but the system's voice had already sounded.

"Hey, congratulations, Master, for receiving protection - even if the sun sets three times!"

"Even if the sun sets three times: A

As long as you have hope, you will not die easily. Use this obsession as the link between life.

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

It lasts for three days.

(Note: Blessing will give the user three death avoidance effects. When receiving fatal damage, the user will be forcibly extended for one day. If the user cannot be cured within one day, the second death avoidance effect will be triggered until the three-day period comes.)"

…

When his consciousness returned to his body, he felt no warmth, only a bone-chilling coldness.

"Duane!"

"Duane!"

Someone's call came to his ears, but Du En couldn't open his eyes, his eyelids seemed to be filled with lead.

So tired!

The soul has curled up into a ball, it seems that this is the only way to keep the will clear.

So tired!

His consciousness began to fade, and the sounds in his ears became shallower and shallower. He seemed to hear someone yelling, was it Aunt Shimura? You are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time.

In this case, Ling will be safe.

So tired!

I really couldn't hold on anymore, Du En even forgot his own name.

Mash, heroic spirits, protection, Chaldea... couldn't these be just wishful thinking on his part?

Um?

No, something is wrong!

Still remember that touch, so soft, just now...

Tears dripped on Du En's face, and his consciousness began to become clearer. If Du En had been awake, he would have discovered that a long and narrow magic circuit appeared on his back, starting from the first cervical vertebra and spreading downward.

"Even at the last moment, you must bloom like a flower in the sky and don't give up!"

Recalling Nero's words, as long as you have hope, you will not die easily.

The new magic circuit on the cervical vertebra instilled the newly generated magic power into Du En's body.

"Master, in this case, I will always be by your side."

Wearing a bright red dress, a petite girl with blond hair and blue eyes and a loli figure appeared next to Du En. She took Du En's hand and dragged it down, stood up on tiptoes, and kissed Du En on the face.

An elf-like voice passed by for a flash, but Duan did hear it.

"Next time, don't be so embarrassed, player!"

…

"No, Duan, don't die!"

Yue Shanling knelt on the ground, tears streaked across her cheeks and fell on Du En's cheeks.

"Asshole, don't you have any better medicine here?"

Breaking the rock next to her with one punch, Shimura Nana shouted loudly. In the medical box at her feet, there was a pile of messy medicines, but no matter what, they had no effect on Du En at this time.

"I didn't expect that he would have such a strong personality and defeat those two people by himself. Unfortunately, due to the excessive use of his personality, the excessive bleeding and the injuries on his body, it is impossible to save him."

It's easy to hear a hint of pity in Shanshiyannan's tone. Duen is still young now, and if given two more years, he might become an opponent that would give even allforone a headache.

However, some things are destined to be irreversible. Even if he had to do it over again, there would be nothing less for him to do. As long as he could defeat All For One, it would not matter if he sold his soul to the devil.

But at this moment, what no one expected was that even though his heartbeat had stopped and his breathing had stopped, the man who was supposed to be dead opened his eyes.

"It turns out it's you, Ling, stop crying, it won't be cute."

Du En's voice, as thin as a mosquito's, sounded in the dark cave, making the air freeze.

"Duen, you're not dead?"

Shimura Nana's eyes widened in disbelief. The cigarette box Iwao Yamaishi had just taken out of his pocket fell to the ground. Yue Shanling twitched her nose, and then cried out with a "Wow", holding Du En tightly with both hands.

, making Du En roll his eyes involuntarily.

"No, I'm really going to die now."
