Chapter 42 - Envy?

Darkness has enough determination to kill without hesitation, enough determination to die, and enough determination to do whatever is necessary for Milcar. However, she can simply bite her lips and lament her scant strength.

Let's not talk about her resistance; even if Darkness uses all her strength, she won't even be able to scratch the white Qi dome protecting her, Kazuma, and Megumin.

At this moment, Darkness's body trembles, she lowers her head, and her heart trembles.

In the battle...

The fight becomes increasingly intense, Milcar's body advances at a pitiful speed, Vanir keeps burning large amounts of magic to increase the power of his lightning.

At the increasing rate at which both increase the amount of magic or Qi they use at every moment, if only a few more seconds pass, a great explosion may occur due to the collision of the two powers.

Milcar and Vanir know this; however, neither of them seems ready to back down, or at least that's what it seems on the outside.

Vanir didn't come to fight; in reality, he just wanted to check who had the strength to kill Seresdina; his intention is to continue investigating the tomb that appeared a few months ago near Axel.

Vanir, who had already prepared one of his spells to escape, simply smiles.

"Do you think it's over?", Vanir shouts powerfully, his voice resounding for several hundred meters around, Vanir exhales some cold air as his mind focuses, and the next moment, Vanir disappears from his own position; the spell he used is one of teleportation.

With Vanir escaping, Milcar quickly shattered the remaining purple lightning; his body rose in the air miles until he stopped using his Qi...

In the air, accompanied by white clouds, Milcar breathes heavily; he cannot help but feel the cold that surrounds him trying to cool his hot body, this cold is refreshing and makes Milcar's body relax slightly.

Milcar at this moment can't think of anything else but to descend and begin to rest for a few hours.

The white light over his body disappears as Milcar uses his Qi to descend quickly to solid ground.

The fight ended as quickly as it started, although the confrontation lasted no more than a minute, it still made the town of Axel shiver, adventurers huddled near the walls, and Alderp was ready to declare war on whoever was fighting outside.

However, everything calmed down as quickly as it started, the lights disappeared and the winds stopped; the strong winds ceased to impact against the walls of Axel, everything returned to normal after the purple light lost the battle against the white light, or at least, that's what the inhabitants of Axel wanted.

From the tallest tower in the city of Axel, Alderp, Wiz, and Yunyun watched as the battle between the two lights ended; none of them said anything for a moment, their minds trying to comprehend what had happened.

Wiz, from her position, doesn't understand why Vanir decided to escape; after all, Vanir had always been proud, losing was not something he admitted easily.

Wiz touches her plump red lips for a moment before sighing resignedly.

It really doesn't matter how much she tries to think about why Vanir decided to escape; the question filling her mind at this moment is who the white light is.

With no magical power, apparently never seen before, What could the white light be?

Wiz has a pensive look while Yunyun seems to be thinking about something.

Alderp quickly sighs with relief at seeing that everything seems to have calmed down; in his mind, an objective becomes brighter.

"I have to recruit Milcar to act as the defender of the city Axel", Alderp thinks decisively in his mind; Milcar had shown enough strength to defeat Seresdina effortlessly; if he could recruit a person of that caliber to be the guardian of Axel, he could even declare it an independent city that would no longer obey the orders of the Belzerg kingdom.

...

Milcar descended onto a completely ravaged field; the green meadows had been replaced by a heap of soil dug up as far as the eye could see, the trees that gave life to this place are no longer there, and all traces of visible life seem to have vanished.

However, as Milcar descended, he looked down and could see a group of three people running at great speed in his direction.

Smiling, Milcar descends and approaches that group; it didn't take long, Milcar gradually could see the faces of these people.

After all, after Milcar confirmed that Vanir had disappeared without a trace, he stopped sending his Qi to maintain that dome around Darkness, Megumin, and Kazuma.

Once he descended onto solid ground, Milcar was about to joke; however, Darkness stepped forward in large steps to throw herself onto Milcar's body and embrace him tightly.

A glow like that of drops in the sky appears behind Darkness's figure, probably tears shed in the heat of the moment.

There was a slight moment of silence; Milcar says nothing, only observing with some surprise as this masochistic blonde embraces him with affection.

Darkness's agitated heart gradually calms down because she was enclosed in the dome and couldn't see the battle between Milcar and Vanir, and consequently couldn't see who had come out victorious.

What would happen if Milcar lost?

Anguish began to fill her heart, and a feeling of panic seized her; she was the first to run in the direction of where she partially saw the white light once the dome that kept her trapped disappeared.

She didn't hear Kazuma or Megumin's shouts telling her to stop and simply ran forward.

Then, upon seeing Milcar descending gradually from the sky, anguish, terror, and fear were replaced by happiness and a longing feeling that she hadn't felt in a long time.

Milcar being hugged tightly by Darkness can feel the affection that this woman has for him, But why?

Milcar can't help but squint; in fact, not much time has passed since he met Darkness, and above all, he never gave Darkness any reason for her to have any kind of affection for him.

Why does this woman seem to have deep feelings for him?

Milcar doesn't understand it; however, he simply accepts Darkness's embrace and slides his hands to embrace Darkness's slim waist with one hand and caress her head with the other.

Ninth level of Qi condensation at maximum level, Milcar has this level of cultivation at the moment; if only he could ascend to the Foundation Establishment stage, his power would multiply several times.

However, Milcar has a slight premonition in his heart; for the moment, it is impossible for him to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage; in Milcar's mind, this thought becomes stronger for some reason.

For Milcar, it was like knowing that something couldn't be achieved, or something could go wrong.

Still, these thoughts were pushed to the back of his mind as Milcar embraces Darkness's slim waist with one hand and caresses her head with the other.

Not far from Milcar, Kazuma watches with some happiness and envy this scene. Why?, Why do all the women seem to be attracted to Milcar?"
