Chapter 62 The True Meaning of a Hero
(Thank you all for your support, this chapter is a small bonus and free)
This terrifying monster was defeated by Lonis in a daze.
…
A moment later, the gauze bandages, imprinted with children’s drawings, drifted throughout the entire space as if they had completely lost their supportive power.
And where the monster was originally?
Lonis found a figure also floating there.
Her entire body was wrapped in bandages, and her face could not be seen.
Her left arm was entwined with many IV tubes, and her right arm was encased in a cast, making her seem unable to move at all.
“Wh-who is this?”
“An Ran.”
“An Ran…?”
“Yes, in the past, in the Dulan Islands, she was the most outstanding nurse and battlefield rescuer. She often went to the front lines of battles to save the soldiers.”
“What?!”
“In the catastrophe 100 years ago, An Ran tried to save her companions who were infected by the curse. But it had no effect, and she became discouraged, mentally collapsed, and was captured by the curse. She became a special type of monster.”
“Ah, ah?”
“Yes, Brave Miss. Do you remember when I told you that I had ventured deep into the Dulan Islands with my companions? An Ran was my companion at that time.”
Lian Lan smiled bitterly and said so.
Lonis gasped, and as Lian Lan narrated, she learned many things.
It turned out that Lian Lan’s identity was none other than a warrior of the Dragon Roar Fleet stationed in the Vast Sea.
Her duty was to ward off these monsters from the Vast Sea and maintain the stability of civilization… And Lian Lan was also the only one who could venture into the Dulan Islands without being affected by the curse.
“To be precise, it’s not that I am not affected by the curse, but the curse on my body has completely stabilized, so I will not undergo any mutations when faced with unstable curses.”
“!”
“When I learned that you were going to the Vast Sea Islands, I wanted to find you and stop you from proceeding… But I didn’t expect that I was still a step too late.”
Lian Lan sighed, with some wistfulness in her eyes: “I was worried that you would repeat our past mistakes, but now it seems I was overthinking it.”
“Overthinking it…”
“Yes, Lonis, you are far stronger than I am. And this strength of yours is not only based on the Hong Yuan Weapon, but more importantly, it comes from your soul.”
“!”
“You should have memories from three lives, so your mindset is so mature and refined, and not polluted by illusions.”
“No, that…”
Being praised so much by Lian Lan, Lonis felt very embarrassed.
Because she wasn’t a strong girl at all?
Just last night, she was hiding in her dreams and crying a little because she couldn’t see Elus!
And when facing monsters, she couldn’t remain unfazed at all. In fact… Lonis was like a naive little soft girl who had never seen the world, appearing extremely childish.
…
“No, Miss Lian Lan is too kind. I feel like a useless person? If I don’t have companions, I can basically do nothing, and my heart is very sensitive.
When I saw the bandage monster just now, I was almost scared to death…”
Speaking of this, Lonis even envied Lian Lan.
If she could be as reliable as her and possess such great power, then she could protect Elus and truly pamper her into a little soft girl.
However, Lian Lan shook her head:
“No, it’s not. Sensitivity is not a flaw, but numbness is.”
“Numbness?”
“Precisely because people in their youth do foolish things, most people think that sensitive people are naive, simple, and powerless. But in reality, sensitive youth is the most unforgettable time of one’s life.”
“!”
“Run while you are young, challenge while you are ignorant. Because young hearts are fearless, they can create the most wonderful things in this world. I remember in the last epoch, didn’t the great men who changed the world establish parties and organizations that changed the country when they were young? But when they got old, they became more worried about gains and losses, and lost the passion and enthusiasm of the past.”
“This…”
Lonis knew what Lian Lan was talking about. In fact, when the country was in turmoil and on the verge of collapse, it was young people who stepped forward.
Because it was only young people who would foolishly disregard personal gains and losses, and only want to achieve the interests of everyone.
Because it was only young people whose inner fire would not disappear, leaving behind the verses “I laugh at the sky with a sword, leaving behind loyalty in both Kunluns.”
Therefore…
The hero who saves the world can only be a young person.
And Lonis, as a new generation of girls, was the most suitable one.
“Lian Lan…”
“Lonis, please let me assist you. Whatever orders and thoughts you have, I will do my best to help you.”
“Ah, ah…”
Being stared at so intently by Lian Lan, Lonis became even more embarrassed.
She was too embarrassed to say that her original reason for saving the world was just to stabilize the country so that she could obtain the beautiful princess and live a happy life.
She was also too embarrassed to say that in this life, she was also lustful and shaped her body like this for lewdness.
But since Lian Lan said so…
“Well, let’s bring An Ran over first. I think she might still be saved.”
“Brave Miss, but An Ran has completely turned into a monster. I don’t think there should be such unrealistic imagination.”
“It’s okay, it never hurts to try, right?”
Things turned out this way.
After arranging An Ran in the prison and observing her up close… Lonis discovered that the bandages, cast, and IV tubes on her body were not decorations at all, but part of her body!
They had almost grown together with her skin, and essential bodily fluids flowed through the IV tubes.
This bizarre scene made one frown, and Lonis took out the Crystal Staff to conduct a brief analysis.
And the result was just as Lian Lan had said, An Ran contained surging curse power. What was before her eyes was almost not a person, but an otherworldly creature.
…
“She has been suffering all these years. So I have always wanted to venture deep into the Vast Sea to give her complete relief.”
“Lian Lan…”
“Many things, once lost, cannot be recovered. I must personally bring her to an end.”
Lian Lan stood up, seemingly wanting to act as a butcher and personally kill her former companion.
However…
“Lian Lan, don’t rush. I think even if I can’t, Elus definitely can.”
“Elus…”
“Yes, she is my old… um, she is my lover! She is a very powerful girl. Although she has a perverse sense of humor, she always has a solution when facing dangerous situations!”
“…”
“Ah, that’s right, that’s not me showing off! In fact, Lian Lan is also my companion, um… So, when everyone gathers together and discusses, perhaps there will be new possibilities!”
“Yes, Brave Miss, you are absolutely right.”
Lian Lan nodded slightly and put down the saber in her hand.
