The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1405 407: The Pseudo-God's Downfall (Part 4)

Scalding tears streamed down Ilana's cheeks, one after another falling onto Ophelia's face.

"Stop talking... I never blamed you at all! It wasn't your fault! If you were at fault, then I am as well, for failing to notice Anjie's and Miss Lassitina's plot and instead dragging you into such a dangerous situation because of my own problems!"

Why did the one who truly should apologize never say sorry, even preferring to die rather than bear their own mistakes?

Instead, it's the kind-hearted who generously bear the guilt that isn't theirs, even fearing that the little time left is insufficient for repentance.

Is there justice in this world?

Ilana had never prayed so earnestly.

She prayed for the God's blessing—

She was willing to offer eternal devotion, only hoping for a miracle to descend, taking Miss Ophelia and Bain, Senior Hard away from here!

Watching as that always calm face was blurred by tears, a soft smile suddenly appeared on Ophelia's face.

"Is that so? Then I can rest assured... It seems I am still the best friend in your world. Although I don't care for such empty rankings, I certainly can't let some phony take this place, can I?"

"Ophelia... you've always been... my best friend! I'm begging you, please stop talking..."

Feeling the scorching drops on her face, Ophelia gently grasped her arm.

"Ilana... don't mind me anymore. Even if you drag me out, I probably won't make it far and will only cause everyone to die together. Besides... someone will come to take me away, I'm more worried about you all."

Her voice trembled from weakness, yet the smile in her eyes remained generous and bright, even with a hint of playfulness.

"Convey to my father for me, Andre Castellion's daughter didn't waste her life... I experienced an exciting adventure, just like my ancestors, even if it may not be as legendary as theirs."

"No... I won't leave you! We'll leave together!" Ilana shook her head, crying, using all her strength to drag Ophelia another inch.

However, her actions made Ophelia almost faint from pain; a bone was stuck in the crevice of the stones.

Luo Yan watching felt pained.

It's remarkable this girl can endure so much.

"Ilana is right," a gentle voice suddenly resounded beside them, clearly penetrating all the rumblings, "We must never easily give up at any time."

"Prince Colin?!"

The four apprentices turned back in surprise, only to see their esteemed Master had appeared beside them at an unknown time, a smile as gentle as the spring breeze without a trace of dust.

At this moment, Bain suddenly experienced a mental lapse, his magic wand pointing to the sky trembled, and he fell straight backward.

Hard was startled upon seeing this.

"Not good—"

Before he finished his sentence, a gentle force lifted up the falling boulders from below.

Including the giant stone pressing Ophelia's right leg!

Standing at the center of chaos, Prince Colin merely raised his hand slightly, and a clear sky-like barrier instantly unfolded around him, enveloping everyone present.

All the boulders crashing into the barrier were blocked by that impenetrable shield. That slightly lifted right hand held up an absolutely safe sky in this desperate situation.

In the cave, only the dull thud outside the barrier and the exhausted panting of four young people were left...

After doing all this, Luo Yan did not stop his actions, with a light wave of the magic wand in his sleeve, a Holy Light that could heal all wounds fell upon Ophelia's right leg.

Her injuries, though severe, were not caused by Chaos, her soul was undamaged, thus healing was relatively easy.

At least for Luo Yan who had reached Diamond Level.

An itchy feeling spread from below her body, and Ophelia couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

Then she watched in amazement as her broken calf grew back, the white skin smooth as new!

At that moment, a line suddenly flashed through Ophelia's mind—

'Wherever light reaches, darkness has nowhere to hide!'

For a moment, she was surprised to find that figure overlapping with a character from the novels she had read!

Though what he held was not a Knight's Longsword but a Magic Wand, he perfectly enacted that maxim with his actions.

That was the cool persona she always wanted to emulate.

The Prince, with a slight move, had completed it...

Seeing Ophelia staring at him, Luo Yan's gentle smile did not change, but his voice carried a trace of sternness.

"...especially Miss Ophelia Castellion, you should remember this phrase. I have to criticize you on behalf of your father, after all, he personally entrusted you to me in a letter. Should anything happen to you, how should I explain to him?"

Unlike what he expected.

This time, Ophelia surprisingly did not retort or argue back, instead, blushing, she bowed her head, docile like a well-fed kitten.

"I'm sorry..."

Good.

It seems she really is reflecting on her issues.

As Luo Yan moved his gaze from Ophelia, his eyes fell on the fully shattered core of the Maze nearby.

It seemed quite the effort.

Perhaps in another hundred years, the Imperial might really decipher their own "Maze" and reverse the stakes onto Hell's territory.

By then, Hell might be the one in panic.

Luo Yan, uninvolved, withdrew his gaze, looked around at the four disheveled young people around him, and spoke with a smile.

"Though many unexpected events occurred, I still must congratulate you, you are the champions of this year's Maze Trial!"
