Chapter 443: Light Monarch, Silmira
Roland woke to the sound of crying and the weight of a girl’s body draped across his chest.
For a few moments, he forgot everything—forgot the war, the strange world, the chaos. In that instant, he was just Roland, a boy from Earth. But that faded the moment he recognized the voice sobbing against him.
He looked down and saw a silver-haired beauty, her face hidden in her arms as she leaned against his chest.
He slowly moved one hand—weak, barely able to lift it—and gently patted her head.
He didn’t speak. He couldn’t. He felt that if he tried, he might start coughing uncontrollably.
The girl finally lifted her face, her tear-streaked eyes warm and gentle as they met his.
"You’re awake... finally."
She wiped her face and leaned forward, hugging him gently.
"Sorry to worry you... So, how did we do? Did we win?"
Roland needed to know. Were they safe? Were there more demons to fight, and what could he even do in this condition?
"Yes," she replied. "You repelled the demons from the Light Spirit’s lands. We don’t know how the demons were killed—it was some kind of magic—but what you did is being talked about everywhere. Even the demons won’t come near this place after what you did. You killed more than ten thousand of them with that spell..."
Roland strained to remember. The last thing he recalled was the king being in danger.
