Chapter 561: Because We Are Comrades (2/2)

“What are you coming here for? This is dangerous, you flat-chested girl better go now!” Stingham grumbled.

“I know I always seemed useless.”

However, Meraly did not get angry this time. She showed a determined expression, “But if I don’t stay and fight together with all of you, even I will feel like I’m useless. If I don’t fight together with you here, which may even cost me my life...... If I retreat and hear about the news of your deaths, I will never forgive myself.”

“But you are useless!” Stingham grumbled, “I can’t leave even if I want to, yet you want to stay even if I tell you to leave. Also, can you stop being a jinx and not mention death and battle in the same sentence again?”

“Why aren’t you leaving then?” Meraly asked, “Don’t you know this place is dangerous?”

“Because they’re my teammates. Look at them, their faces are clearly showing they definitely won’t leave. If they don’t leave, it will be two against one, how can I leave?” Stingham pointed at Ayrin and Rinloran.

“I have also joined your team. I’m also your comrade.” Meraly showed a smile, “So, I will also stay behind.”

“What’s Merlin doing?”

“That one-eyed troll is actually playing with mud!”

Stingham felt he was becoming crazy.

He saw Merlin appearing near them with a mountain of metal parts. She was assembling something. Next to Merlin, there were a few ancient clockwork war avatars helping her carry things.

On the other side, the Single-eye Man-eating Troll that suffered grave mental damage did not die. After screaming for a while, it became unconscious. Now, it sat up and played with mud with a dumb look.

So many bizarre scenes! What kind of world am I in!?

At that moment, Charlotte asked Ayrin, “You can’t defeat all those skeleton warriors by yourself, right?”

“Too many, I can’t get them all.” Ayrin nodded.

Charlotte looked at him and nodded, “I also don’t want to leave and have any regrets.”

“Really? Now? Here?” Ayrin suddenly blushed and seemed embarrassed.

Charlotte looked at him strangely, “Yeah.”

“Alright.” Ayrin seemed to have mustered up his courage. He suddenly stepped forward and deeply kissed Charlotte.

Everyone became dumbfounded and could not comprehend what just happened.

“Ayrin, what are you doing!?” Charlotte was completely petrified.

“Didn’t you say you don’t want to leave with any regrets?” Ayrin embarrassedly scratched his head, “When we separated to head towards the Fallen Shadow Valley, you also said that and kissed me......”

“......” Charlotte’s face turned beet red, “Ayrin! What I meant is similar to Meraly! I want to stay here and fight as well!”

Ayrin, “Eh......”

What a strange bunch of kids.

Mody could not hold back his laughter. He looked at Lenyu with an inquisitive gaze and spoke, “Why don’t you leave with Philp and the others? The Royal Thorns Corps needs a six-gate arcane master.”

“If you are certain that you staying here is more useful than me, sure.” Lenyu glanced at him and knocked his shoulder.

“In that case, Black King will also stay here.”

Philp took a deep breath. He did not say anything further and saluted towards Mody with Emila.

“Ah? Is it staying here too?” Ayrin looked at ‘Black King’. It was the black panther that looked unfriendly. He mumbled, “Will it bite me?”

“......” The black panther was speechless and let out a growl.

“The Holy Dawn group...... and Lord Mody, they are all staying behind?”

“Can they escape after staying back to cover for us?”

The Fearotz Stronghold entered a state of full retreat once again. Everyone looked at the figures that looked like insignificant black dots compared to the skeleton army. Their hearts were filled with indescribable frustration, much like Ayrin.

We must fight even more bravely in future!

We must obtain the final victory!
