Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

Blazer shook his head: "I'll stay."

Although I don't know the specifics of what happened, I can't even forget everything.

You say I'm dead.

So the fact that Jiu was able to wake up here means that the Brave Alliance gave you guys quite a lot of power. (Three §∮lin〕∴Five～-)

By staying, I'm doing my part in helping to defeat the demons and assist the heroes, right?

“Of course.” Eddie nodded. “Our job is to organize the funerals of heroes.”

All the fallen heroes will be brought back to the Holy Capital and given the highest-level funeral at a fixed time each month.

Then, let them sleep in the cemetery of the holy city.

“That’s why you were able to find the [Chosen Ones]…” Blazer nodded.

Because they are in charge of organizing the heroes' funerals, they can immediately detect if any of the heroes regain vital signs.

Eddie continued, "This job might be harder than you think."

Because you might encounter any hero you've ever known before.

You have been blessed by God and are able to live a second life.

However, they may not be able to wake up again.

"This may include your former teammates."

You, who are already dead, may have to bury them yourself.

Even so, will you still join us?

Blaze looked at Eddie, then glanced at the other former heroes around him. A hint of hesitation appeared in his originally determined eyes.

What Eddie told him was a very harsh reality.

If he chooses to start a new life, then perhaps he will never have to worry about fighting the demons again for the rest of his life.

Naturally, there's no need to watch someone you know turn into a cold corpse.

It's important to understand that among the heroes who fought among the demons, very few died with their bodies intact.

The higher the level of the demon, the greater the power of its attacks. Most of the heroes who died at their hands met gruesome ends. IV

In other words, he might be facing not just the corpses of familiar people, but more likely, mutilated corpses.

He could hardly bear to imagine those scenes. Temple

She couldn't imagine whether Xingu, John, and Franti would die in the demon realm, or whether they would appear before her in a gruesome manner.

At the same time, he recalled those he had failed to protect, and the way they died without a complete corpse.

It felt as if I were back in those ruins, gritting my teeth and weeping as I buried them one by one in the pit.

"Sorry... let me think about it some more." Blazer clenched his fists.

"Yes, we still have time."

"Perhaps you could listen to other people's opinions before making a decision." Eddie nodded.

Blaze looked around at the other former heroes, who were all looking at him with gentle eyes.

“Okay.” Blazer nodded.

……

On the balcony outside Lycorina's room in the temple, she once again sat down for a late-night talk with Annie.

“Anyi, I woke up Mr. Fighting Hero,” she said with a smile.

“Hmm.” An Yi nodded, offering no further comment.

After reviving Eddie, Lycorina revives a hero she knows every month.

So on the night Blazer died, her special abilities were still cooling down.

And she had already made up her mind;

She had no intention of letting any fallen heroes fight again.

In other words, she will not allow the fallen heroes to be miraculously resurrected on the night of their death.

This is a war that is bound to involve bloodshed and sacrifice.

Since the other party has already brought the story to a close as a hero, there's no need to change that period to a comma.

They can choose to start a new life.

Whether it's continuing to assist the heroes as a member of the Hero Alliance, or starting a new life in another place.

But the fact that he was "favored by God" could not be discovered.

Therefore, in their new lives, the old people cannot appear.

Unless... seven

The war against the demons has ended.

"If he could meet with the three members of the Fighting Heroes team, perhaps those three would recover?" Lycorina gazed at the sky.

The moon is beautiful tonight.

"I think this will only confuse them more. (Alcohol)"

"After all, things like the dead coming back to life only happen in dreams," An Yi said calmly.

“That’s true.” Lycorina laughed self-deprecatingly at her own foolishness. “A new Fighting Hero has been born, and I heard it’s a girl. She’s on her way here.”

I have a feeling that maybe it's better not to let them meet right now.

"Perhaps." (Lion)

There is also a very cruel thing.

That means the Fighting Hero Squad, having lost the Fighting Hero, can no longer fight alongside the Saintess Squad as an elite squad.

Having lost one of their elite combatants, they must now train new warriors.

Furthermore, all subsequent actions must focus on cultivating new heroes.

This means they cannot even travel to dangerous areas like Viscount City.

Before the new hero's level is raised, they can only move around in low-level areas.

“Actually, I was wondering if An Yi would feel lost like the other heroes if he fell asleep too?” Lycorina said with a smile.

“No,” Annie said.

“Indeed, I can’t imagine Annie looking so confused,” Lycorina nodded.

"I'm past the point of being confused by these things."

An Yi also experienced confusion.

But now he is determined to kill the demons.

The good old days are gone; what he needs to do is kill the demons.

Suddenly, An Yi seemed to remember something and added another sentence;

“I wasn’t entirely unaffected by the curse, but its effects on me ended quickly.”

"Huh? What kind of dream did Annie have?!" Lycorina asked with interest.

“I forgot, because it ended too quickly,” Annie said. “However, after I automatically broke free from the curse, I gained a passive skill that gives me resistance to dreams.”

Do you have one too?

Lycorina was taken aback, then closed her eyes and searched through the system.

After searching for a while, she suddenly opened her eyes;

"have!

There's a new skill called... [Sacred Heart]!

The effect description reads, "Dispels the illusions in your heart."

An Yi nodded: "From now on, similar magical spells like the one in 'Second' should have little effect on you."

"Is that so?" Lycorina's eyes widened. "The demons who cursed us even gave me a really powerful skill for free!"

"You could say it's a blessing in disguise," An Yi nodded.

At that moment, he suddenly wanted to try something.

Right in front of Lycorina, he summoned the [False Demon Lord Veil] from his face.

It happened in an instant, then was immediately withdrawn.

Lycorina jolted awake, then blinked hard: "Hmm? Strange?"

"What's wrong?" An Yi asked knowingly.

"It's nothing, I just felt a little dizzy." Lycorina rubbed her temples in annoyance. "Is it because I've been too busy and tired these past few days?"

"Maybe, then get some rest," Annie said.

As expected, the unlocking progress of this [Sacred Heart] is not high.

If it's An'i's [Sword Heart], it can directly see through top-tier disguises like [Formless] and [Demon Lord's Veil].

Lycorina's [Sacred Heart] is unlocked through dreams, so it probably only provides resistance to dreams for now and cannot see through the disguise.

If it were on par with [Sword Heart], then the [Pseudo-Demon Lord Veil] summoned by An Yi would probably just be a pinkish-purple veil.

An Yi risked his life to test Lycorina's skills!

However, since it has already been unlocked, it means there is still room for improvement.

"Okay, let's go to sleep!" Lycorina stood up, stretched, and then subconsciously went over to pull An Yi's arm.

An Yi dodged the question: "If you're going to sleep, just go to sleep. Why are you pulling me?"

Lycorina: "Hmm? Yeah, why...?"

Over the next week, heroes from all sides began to gather in Saint City—er—4∴3／」/〗zero(⊙＃↑
