Seeing that the cat had run away, the players not only didn't blame her, but instead breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Indeed, why would such a weak cat go to its death?
Although I feel a little sorry for Kevin and Alicia, but...
Perhaps the cat had also thought of this... She unconsciously glanced back at the increasingly smaller passage in the sky.
I had clearly made up my mind to escape, I was clearly going to survive, this should be something to be happy about, but why...?
Still unwilling to accept it?
She suddenly began to hate herself, hating her own weakness and cowardice.
"Waaah..." Pado couldn't help but sob.
"I must have made the same decision in real life, right, 717?"
"Going to the moon to confront the End is something I'm too weak to do, no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be my place! Besides..."
"I'm... the best at running away, how could I possibly die there?"
"That's right, that's right..."
She tried to convince herself not to look back.
"In reality, I'm definitely still alive, and right now... I wonder where I am sunbathing."
"If that's the case, why should I...why should I throw my life here?"
Indeed, she possesses unparalleled good fortune; if she so desires, she can certainly turn danger into safety.
Indeed, her ideals could hardly be called lofty; such ordinary wishes did not require her to die a heroic death.
There's a saying that goes, "With so little money, why are you risking your life?"
So, if we had to find a reason for her to choose a dead end when she was still alive...
"That's absolutely impossible!!"
"I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try. If I can live a good life, why would I go and die?"
"……But"
"But……"
But her steps never stopped, those steps that should have led her away from the vortex...
Why did they have to bring her back to that "pathway" of all places...?
"..."
"But... since we are mortals... it's understandable that we might make a foolish mistake once in a while..."
……
Upon seeing this, countless people could no longer hold back their emotions.
Mingming kept trying to convince herself to escape from this place.
No one would blame her for being cowardly and weak.
She racked her brains but couldn't find a reason for herself to stay and die.
This is a risky business.
But... this cat, who was most afraid of death and also the luckiest, chose a fate that was destined to end in death...
Chapter 369 I will use the cat's life... (Mental breakdown)
"But... since we are mortals... it's understandable that we might make a foolish mistake once in a while..."
"Sister Aili, I never do business at a loss."
"You...you absolutely must come back!"
Pado stretched out one of her hands. Her vision was still trembling, but the path that was about to disappear finally stopped its gradual dimming.
"Sigh... I know, if it weren't for good luck... I would never have been chosen by you to be one of them..."
"It's impossible... for me to stay here with everyone."
"So... Sister Ellie... at least, I can't let you regret your decision!"
"I can't guarantee whether I can do it, but... I will do my best."
"When you get back, remember to... praise me again!"
Kitty...
She finally made the same decision as she had 50,000 years ago, even without any reason to convince herself.
Meanwhile, the strike that had been waiting for its moment was about to be delivered.
Even though Kevin was far away from the cat, the terrifying heat from the Heavenly Fire Greatsword being drawn was already unbearable for her.
"Waaah..." She couldn't help but let out a series of sobs.
Tears streamed down her face, but the terrifying heat around her caused them to evaporate before they even hit the ground.
"That must... be very painful..."
Thinking of the raging flames that were about to engulf us...
The fear of death and pain made the cat tremble all over.
But she still didn't back down an inch.
"It's okay, don't scare yourself... maybe nothing will happen at all."
"My luck is actually pretty good... I..."
“I am Padofilis…”
"But I am—"
"..."
The screen went dark and seamlessly transitioned to Kevin and Sue's side.
Sue and Kevin: "—A member of the Thirteen Heroes"
"In any case, we should not have any doubts about this."
Su: "...Then..."
"It's time to lay the final stone for our past."
Kevin: "..."
Su: "After this strike, regardless of whether we ultimately win, you yourself... will cease to exist. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Kevin couldn't help but recall the words Alicia had said to him fifty thousand years ago—
If one day, pulling the trigger on me like this could save the majority of people...
[Kevin, what would you do?]
Kevin: "...々〃..."
"It's not about the future of humanity, it's about the ideals of all people," Kevin said, slowly raising the Skyfire Greatsword.
"This time, I'm putting my life into the gun..."
"—Just to save [one person]"
……
Just like Alicia, who loved everyone with all her heart,
The heroes, in turn, responded to Alicia with everything they had.
The heroes here all know that even if they fail to defeat the Herrscher of Corruption, there is still Kevin outside.
They believed that Kevin, who was outside, would handle everything.
So all they did had only one purpose—to bring Alicia back.
And eliminating the Law of Corruption... is merely a side effect.
"Heavenly Fire—"
"Draw it!!"
…………
The game never showed Pado on screen again.
Players know that the cat must have also perished.
The thought of the cute, pitiful cat made him tremble and tears stream down his face as he maintained the passageway...
The mournful background music playing in my ears.
That was a really vicious cut.
【Ah ah ah...】
