"Hey! Wait! What did I do wrong!"
"Am I dreaming? How can I be experiencing instant karma?!"
"Waaah! This is vigilante justice! Help!!!"
Plop!
The next moment, Mino crashed heavily to the ground, while Migo in front of him began to breathe heavily, causing his chest to rise and fall rather drastically.
"What... what's going on..." Mino looked around blankly, the pain in his body making him grimace.
Two tall figures approached, and Mino instinctively looked up.
Then I saw two beautiful, captivating faces, yet their eyes were filled with icy indifference, casting down their gazes as if they were looking at trash.
"Pervert." "Trash."
Mino's mouth dropped open, completely bewildered: "Why are you rewarding me?"
"Let your dream end tonight, hero."
After beating up Mino, Migo and Kletina's anger finally subsided a bit, but they still couldn't put on a good face. Holding Mia, Kletina looked at a heartless man with a blank expression: "Thanks to your generosity, tonight we will put the memories we extracted from your dreams into Lena's dreams to aggravate her backlash."
With Mino looking bewildered and hesitant, the demons left the cell...
"My lord, you truly live up to your reputation."
In the corner, Altottai, who had been too intimidated to even breathe by the previous terrifying aura, finally raised his sword hilt with admiration: "You've managed to give away your prize again, even though I couldn't see you!"
"Perhaps I should call you 'The Dream Hero,' meaning a hero who makes countless mistakes in his dreams!!!"
"Who are you calling a Dream Warrior?! You wax-based holy sword!!!"
Mino snapped out of her daze and said angrily:
"Your previous confident deductions were so logical and convincing, you even said the demons don't have the means to manipulate the dream dimension? Then let me ask you! Was the Nightmare Mirror named by a mother? — I just experienced an exceptionally intense interrogation in my dream!!!"
"What? The Nightmare Mirror? It actually has that kind of ability!" Altotai suddenly tensed up.
"My lord, what exactly happened to you in your dream?"
"Hmph, now you know how to worry about me." Mino wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking rather disappointed.
"In my dream, I was tortured a hundred times by the Nightmare Mirror, a hundred times!!! After a period of unwavering resistance, a willingness to die for my cause, and a confrontation that risked everything, I barely managed to withstand the extremely harsh interrogation!"
"This is much more difficult than any fancy food, delicious milk tea, or a sweet and soft white-haired loli!"
"Hmm? Those things behind are commonplace for our lord, aren't they?"
"I'm not kidding!"
Mino was getting really anxious. "This time, I really did survive the torture completely! You can ask the Nightmare Mirror if you don't believe me!"
"Alright, alright." Altothai shook his head somewhat perfunctorily and disappointedly.
Such a meaningless result won't be recorded in its freebie calendar; it would be a waste of space.
“So that’s how it is…” Raising his sword hilt, Artotai finally realized something, and said with hopeful excitement, “This time, my lord, you finally didn’t give up in vain—”
“Oh no, I gave it away completely,” Mino said casually.
"I knew it!!!"
Artotai rambled incoherently, "This is the only correct outcome! It's even easier to predict than the endings of those episodic dramas! I was completely unnecessary to ask that question!!!"
"you listen to me."
Seeing that the tip of the Altotai sword, now imbued with the sharpness of a divine weapon, was already pointed at him, Mino quickly waved his hand, revealing an expression of disbelief even to himself:
"Although I gave it away for nothing, the reason I gave it away for nothing is that those demons tortured me... not my memories with Lena at all."
"Hehe, what's the purpose of the Nightmare Mirror entering your dreams? To give you sweet dreams?"
Altottai sneered, somewhat disbelieving.
"I'm saying it again, I'm not joking!!!" Mino shouted urgently.
"You should also remember, Altotai, the interrogation they conducted was of the memory of when I sent a message back to the capital on the eve of the final battle."
“A message…?” Altottai finally calmed down and remembered something:
"Wasn't that ancient script, which resembled poetry, written for Lark, the chief mage of the Round Tower?"
"Speaking of which, my lord, how on earth did you manage to write something so unlike your usual 'easy' style?"
"Need I say more?" Mino raised his head, extremely smug.
"I copied it!"
"—Is this question even necessary?"
Chapter 175 The eve of the decisive battle
On the eve of the decisive battle.
The sacred Minoan border.
As far as the eye can see, there is only gray-black ash earth. Dense demonic energy is rampant at one end of the border. Just from the blackened sky, one can tell how terrifying the number of demon king's army is lurking at the other end of the border.
A somber and chilling atmosphere hung over the human encampment. Countless knights on guard duty were on edge, knowing that tomorrow might be the turning point that would determine the fate of all humanity!
If it weren't for that one great man, the strongest hero in human history, the light of hope... most warriors would probably have already given up by now. After all, a thousand years have passed, and not only humans, but also the demon race's combat power has reached an unprecedented peak.
The heavy pressure builds up in everyone's heart, giving rise to pessimistic and negative thoughts.
All of a sudden.
A dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky from the border of the demon realm, and the light, beyond human imagination, dispelled the darkness of the entire sky!
On the dusty border of the demon realm, a tall, imposing figure clad in magnificent armor, dragging a demon beast the size of a small mountain, slowly appeared in the distance. His golden hair shone like an inextinguishable sun, radiating pure light.
"It's the Mino Warrior! He successfully slew the demonic behemoth that had repeatedly ravaged the army within demonic territory!!!"
The knight on duty was visibly excited, his eyes suddenly gleaming with admiration and hope!
With one hand resting on the Holy Sword of Light, Altotai, his resolute face seemed unyielding to any setback. He calmly returned to the border, a warm smile on his face, and greeted the soldiers around him.
In an instant, everyone was filled with excitement and cheered.
Although a single demonic beast cannot significantly aid the war that covers the entire border, the actions of the Mino Warriors are undoubtedly a ray of light, piercing through the thorny path that seemed like an eternal night!
"It's not over yet, we will surely win!"
A soldier clenched his fists excitedly, looking at his hero's calm and composed face as if in reverence:
"Look at Lord Mino, what a relaxed and carefree smile! It's an attitude of utter disregard for tomorrow's battle, a complete arrogance!"
"As long as he is here, the demons will never be able to cross the sacred border!"
Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement: "Yes, Lord Mino, the strongest hero among humans, showed no sign of seriousness. What unfathomable confidence he possessed, what unparalleled self-assurance!"
Will win!
Amidst fervent and reverent gazes, the resolute Warrior of Light wiped the dust off his clothes, waved to the surrounding soldiers, and entered his tent.
"Altotai".
Inside the tent, Mino placed Altottai in front of the wooden table, lowered his head, and looked puzzled:
"Why do these people look like they've just eaten rye bread? Did something happen?"
"Uh..." The blade of Altotate trembled slightly in surprise.
"My lord, don't you know? Judging from the signs of the demons, it seems they are about to launch a full-scale war and attack us! The time could very well be tomorrow!"
"Really?" Mino raised an eyebrow, somewhat incredulous. "How come I didn't know?"
"Well, it's probably because you always close your eyes and sleep during tactical analysis meetings... The leading knight seems to think you're thinking of countermeasures and never dares to disturb you."
The air fell silent.
"Ahem." Mino coughed, then gave a nonchalant smile: "It's just a possibility after all. Relax. How could a war that hasn't broken out in a thousand years possibly happen tomorrow?"
"You're all too sensitive, Artotai, ahahaha! It seems impossible no matter how you look at it."
“My lord… don’t tell me you’re not mentally prepared yet?” Artotai asked, squinting.
"How could that be?!" Mino's expression immediately changed, and he said with a righteous and confident look, "No matter what, even if a full-scale war really breaks out tomorrow, it will definitely... be a victory for humanity!"
“Even if all nine demons were to appear, the outcome would not change in the slightest!” Mino said proudly, raising his head as if delivering a verdict.
"Oh? My lord, you are so confident?!"
On the wooden table, Altottai looked on with some admiration.
To be honest, it never understood where Mino's confidence came from, but judging from the successes he had achieved, it didn't seem like a series of simple coincidences.
"Does that need to be said?"
Mino smirked, a strange smugness on his face: "Altotai, you wouldn't understand. In every world, there's something called a 'cheater.' That's the special perk of transmigrators!"
"If I were to describe my life in a book, it would undoubtedly be a biography of a great hero who overcame all obstacles, brought light and hope to humanity, and ended the war between humans and demons!"
"A true epic of heroism!!!"
At this point, Mino raised his head with some pride: "My rise from humble beginnings to become the strongest hero in human history also proves this conclusion."
"—My life is far from reaching its peak, Altottai!"
"Crush the first line of defense, severely damage the nine demons, break through the path of the hero, eliminate the Demon King, and even unify the continent! This is our final journey. Have you ever seen a hero in a story who stops at nothing on this path? Everything was already destined!"
At this point, Mino became a little smug: "If we're talking about the stock market, I'm currently in a pure upward trend. Just go all in! It's a sure thing!"
"Is...that so?" Altotai hesitated, completely unable to understand the words his master was using, but the miracles Mino had shown along the way certainly proved it.
"Don't worry, Artotai," Mino said reassuringly to his holy sword.
"Our story has only just begun—"
Beep beep, beep beep!
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the communication magic device on Mino's wrist. This was a communication device that could only be used by two people in the kingdom, and could only be transmitted directly from the capital to the border at a great cost.
One of them is naturally the current de facto ruler of the kingdom, the noble Prince Kur II, Ota.
And the other one.
