Barong did not have such a bad taste, because he knew that the outcome would not be reversed, so he selectively skipped the subsequent tragedy.
"Hello? Can you hear me? Wake up, the sun is going to shine on your butt!"
When the young man woke up from his sleep, he found that he did not seem to be out of the trial, but appeared in a strange forest.
The person who woke him up was a beautiful-looking human girl. Judging from her attire, she should be an adventurer passing by.
"I never thought someone would fall asleep in such a dangerous place. How exhausted are you?"
"..." Looking at the girl's worried look, Barong did not respond. The first thing he thought of was to determine his current situation.
He clearly remembered that he had just been killed by the Demon King, but the next second he appeared in this strange place.
"Um...how long have I been asleep...?" He asked the girl, pretending to be ignorant.
"I don't know, I just happened to pass by and found you lying here alone."
The familiar start made Barong recall the scene he saw when he first entered the trial, which was exactly the same as now.
During the communication with the girl, Barong became more convinced of his judgment. It was not that his body was transported somewhere, but that his consciousness was dragged into another fantasy realm by the trial and was reborn.
The trial did not fail, which seems to be a good thing.
"Hello? What's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze again?" Seeing that the other party ignored her, the girl seemed a little annoyed, but after thinking about it, she thought it was nothing.
"Looking at your appearance, you are not an aborigine here, right? Over the mountain in front is the city of Shilofen. I happen to be planning to go back. Do you want to come with me?"
"Sylofen?" Upon hearing the name, Baron was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled thoughtfully.
"what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Facing the girl's confused eyes, he shook his head but couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"What a strange guy." The girl frowned slightly: "If you are on your way, just show me that I don't mind going on a journey with you."
If it is his first time embarking on this path, then he will definitely accept the girl's invitation.
But looking at the engraving that appeared on the back of his hand - the proof of bravery, he couldn't help but recall the motto Hamut left behind when he died.
"No, my destination is not there."
"Eh?"
"Thank you for your kindness. We will meet again if we are destined!"
He turned around and walked in the opposite direction where the girl pointed.
For the last failure, Baron blamed time. Indeed, at that time, he was too following the rules, thinking that according to the order of development, he would be able to reach the end he expected.
But the trial is indeed not that simple. As the most difficult trial before the ninth rank, Barong has now understood the core of the fifth rank trial, which is to conquer his own heart.
The will of the world matches the tester, so the final difficulty is likely to be proportional to the tester's thinking. This is not Balong's boast. Judging from the fact that most people cannot pass the fifth-turn test, it is very likely that this is the result.
Therefore, as a brave man of the second week, he did not choose to embark on the old path of seeking fetters, but went to the depths alone.
Along the way, Barong did not accept any fetters, but chose to carry out the hero's aloofness to the end.
So, at the end of his life, he reached the destination of the brave as he wished.
However, the ending is that even if the hero is at his peak, it is still unrealistic to defeat the Demon King alone.
As if they were born to conquer the brave, the second generation Demon King is a pair of twins. Although the individual strength is not as strong as the first generation Demon King, the effect of the two working together is far stronger than the first generation Demon King.
After falling for the last time, the brave man never stood up again. He didn't understand how he could lead to the final solution of the trial.
At the end of the second life, Barong noticed his attribute status. As the price of reincarnation, the trial deducted 10% of his final attributes. And the part that was cut off just tilted the balance between himself and the Demon King.
That's really ironic, as if the part that was cut off can only maintain the balance with the help of the power of fetters.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for a brave man to be strong alone. Barong, on the other hand, used another failure to prove the value of his companions and the meaning of their existence.
"If you have another chance, I hope you, Barong, can find a group of real partners you can rely on."
In the revolving door before his death, he recalled Hamut's words again, and when he came back to his senses, Barong suddenly smiled.
At least, he used the stubbornness of this life to refute this sentence.
So after feeling relieved, he opened the door to the third week of the trial.
Barong, who has experienced two lives as a brave man, is now a completely different person. And he also learned the lessons from the previous two times, reflected on his mistakes by tracing his memory, and finally obtained the final solution to passing the trial.
However……
This time, no one appeared to wake him from his deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes, it was already dusk. Feeling a sense of disobedience lingering in his chest, Barong raised his hand and suddenly found that the mark on the back of his hand had disappeared.
The trial will continue, but he is no longer a brave man, and what is even more fatal is that he finds that every reincarnation seems to reduce his attributes by 10%, and now he has been burdened with a 20% reduction in all attributes.
All opportunities and karma come from the aura of the brave - that is the result of Barong's personal practice.
So he lost everything and became a passerby. From then on, like the people, he always paid attention to the movements of the new generation of braves.
Although in the end, the brave man did not defeat the Demon King, but...
"I have already felt your awakening."
Baron raised his head and stared at the crystal coffin where the demon king's body was sealed. At the place where no one dared to approach the final battle, the incredible scene made him sigh involuntarily.
The brave man of the third generation sealed the Demon King's body and consciousness at the cost of his own life, buying the world a hundred years of peace.
A hundred years later, the Demon King will break the seal and be reborn. At that time, no one will be able to stop the Demon King's invasion, and the world will usher in the destined destruction.
But these have nothing to do with Barong. He only knows that because of the brave man's unexpected actions, his time has been cleverly frozen here.
The world will not be restarted until the Demon King recovers. At this moment, "time" has become the antonym of "luxury" in his eyes.
The man once again set foot on the earth as a pioneer. He once believed that the newly born brave men looked like ordinary people, but in fact they were no different from babies.
This is not due to his nature - after experiencing the flowering of flowers, such new shoots are still unable to make waves in his mood, and they will never reach the heights he has never reached.
The hero's power comes from the gift promised by the gods, so as a bird, he already has the power to fly.
But the facts changed the man's view of the brave man.
They are both brave men, but their desires are completely different.
"Why did you draw your sword?"
The man once remembered that on a moonlit night, the senior who was famous for his swordsmanship tried to have a heart-to-heart with him.
The answer he gave was: "Protect, for people's smiles."
But that was not a sincere answer, it was just a lie made up to give an answer that would satisfy the other party.
His goal from beginning to end was to pass this trial and never become more nostalgic for this false world.
Therefore, although he stands on the front line, he regards his own life and death as the most important thing, but he does not know that this is completely contrary to the belief of the brave.
It is natural for a hero to be deprived of his identity, simply because he has no reason to protect him.
"The strength you carry is equivalent to the despair you experience."
After sorting out the whole story, Artolis finally understood the reason for the "doomsday" she saw.
It also explains why Balong can acquire eighteen kinds of martial arts and hundreds of weapons - yes, that kind of practice that requires tens or hundreds of years to be effective, even if it really happens to a man, it will not Something special worth highlighting.
After all, Baron Bokar has nothing to do with the word "talent" from beginning to end, so he can calmly say "this is based on experience." Compared to what he saw and heard in this third life, "plenty of time" was a better gift for him.
"So, this is the whole story - the past of a man who was once a brave man." The vision returned to reality, Baron said calmly and elegantly, and turned his gaze to the dull-looking Yuratemes.
"If you, Goddess, have any questions you want to ask, you might as well tell me."
