Viril was the last line of defense to enter the tomb.

She was not a real bride in her wedding dress. It was her wish that the person in the tomb was the love of her life. Her dream was to marry the owner of the tomb. Unfortunately, she had a low status.

The master of the tomb never looked at her, not even once. However, even so, her love for him remained till death do them part.

She was willing to be his servant. She always cleaned the yard he never stayed in. She cleaned the clothes he never needed after only wearing them once. She even took care of the pets he left in the yard.

She was nameless to him, he never even remembered her appearance.

However, she did not care, she named herself Viril.

That was the name of his favorite pet.

Her favorite thing was to help him put on his boots every morning, because that was the moment she was the closest to him.

She never dared to say a word to him in her life, she was afraid that he would hate her. Only after the owner of the tomb turned into dust did she put on the wedding dress she had prepared herself. Then, she stood outside the tomb, looking at the distant dream, dedicating her last life to this cemetery.

Everything just to protect his last peace.

Viril’s wish gradually awakened the spirits around her.

These spirits did not know who Viril was. They only saw Viril’s pure white wedding dress. They were certain that Viril was the bride to the master of the tomb.

Viril liked the thoughts of these spirits thinking that way.

She treated them like her own children.

The scythe in her hand was to help her take care of the environment around the tomb, or to cut off the weeds that tried to get close to her without knowing where they came from.

Now that her supposed children were gone, she could only personally protect this beautiful home that she relied on to survive.

Regarding Viril’s past, Li Yi had studied it carefully.

The main reason was because he wanted to find out the identity of the tomb owner.

The tomb owner’s identity was a secret to this day. Legend has it that there was an easter egg buried by the authorities, but none of the players have ever found it. Li Yi naturally would not let go of this opportunity. He had tried other ways to find clues from Viril to understand her past.

Facing Viril again, Li Yi’s heart was uneasy. After knowing that everything in this world would become real in ten years, Li Yi would think more about these NPCs and monsters.

Could their past be just a simple game setting?

Or was it real?

If all of this was real, then how did Viril spend the past few hundred years cooped up in here?

People who lived in self-deception and dreams were so desolate in his eyes.

“Positive Barry, be careful. Her attacks have no pattern. We’ll take the lead. You can’t be hit by her curse.”

Li Yi slowly walked towards Viril. Every step felt so heavy, as if there was a force in his heart that restricted his steps. Perhaps it was reluctance, or pity.

Li Yi faced the ridiculous thoughts in his heart and laughed unrestrainedly. It was just a game boss, but why could he not raise the demonic sword in his hand.

Li Yi kept thinking about it. If he lived in this world and faced the woman in front of him, would he feel empathetic towards her?

Could he really swing this sword down on her?

“Bro, are you okay?”

Positive Barry saw the hesitancy in Li Yi’s actions and was worried.

This was a little different from his usual self.

How could Positive Barry know?

When Li Yi saw Chu Yujing again in this world, his worries worsened. He began to immerse himself in this world. He even imagined that after the war ended, he could live in this world peacefully with Chu Yujing.

When he planted the seed that made everything in this world feel real, he began to think about every single plant in this world.

The blacksmith’s brother, the old man hiding on the street corner, they all had their own sufferings.

They all had their own feelings that were difficult to solve.

In this world, players were immortal beings. They could be resurrected countless times. They did not have to worry that their loved ones would be killed in front of them one day.

They could fight recklessly.

However, if all of this became true and everyone only had one chance to live. What would happen?

After Li Yi’s companions died in front of him, how should he deal with himself?

So, in every battle, he became very cautious.

He strived to clear the dungeon perfectly without losing anyone.

Was it really a feasible thing?

During the Heroic Spirit boss fight, Snow Chaser and many other players sacrificed their lives to help him clear the dungeon.

That time, he could only watch helplessly. After that, he rarely went to clear dungeons. He only challenged this level 35 dungeon only when he was fully prepared.

Moreover, the entire process had constantly restricted him. He was very strong. At least for now, he was really strong for the players. Only Li Yi understood that they had to face the gods.

The Supreme Gods.

Ten years neither felt too long nor too short. Maybe then he might be able to protect himself.

However, this was not what he wanted as an outcome.

He had a grand goal in his heart — for everyone to be able to kill gods.

To achieve this, he had to become an unbreakable wall that the gods could not defeat.

The players had to become sharp weapons to kill a god.

However, to achieve this step, there were many challenges.

The distracting thoughts in his mind, the choice of all things… These were all tests that he had to face.

Viril stood in front of him. Viril was not a fool. She could sense that the player in front of her was very powerful. She did not take the initiative to attack. She wanted to wait until the person in front of her was within her attack range before making a move.

Li Yi looked at the pitiful woman in front of him. He seemed to have an idea in his mind.

‘This time, I owe you. After ten years, I’ll protect this graveyard for you. I will not let anyone come and destroy your beautiful dream. For now, rest your soul and ease your mind.’

“Positive Barry, support me from a longer range. I’ll deal with this girl personally.”

Positive Barry saw Li Yi return to normal again, and the worry in his heart dropped.

A Vertical Strike was swung out.

Viril sensed the incoming danger and retreated backwards.

Li Yi would not give her a chance.

“Charge!”

Li Yi was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins. He rushed towards the direction Viril had retreated.

The black shield was in front, and the demonic sword was hidden behind his back.

“-54,120!”

Viril felt that she had been rammed by a big bull. Her entire body was instantly sent flying.

Li Yi was calm and composed. He raised his demonic sword, which was surrounded by thick black aura and blazing flames, and swung out a sword aura.

The slash streaked across the sky with a menacing aura.

“Ah!”

“-84,510! Critical Hit!”

Viril did not have the time to dodge it and firmly took this attack head one.

The wedding dress on her body was burned by the black flames. Viril desperately patted the flames on the wedding dress.

However, no matter how she patted it, the pitch-black flames did not dissipate.

Viril calmed down from her trance.

She knew that the flames could not be extinguished. Her eyes were filled with fire, and Li Yi could not bear to remove the flames.

He looked at the burnt wedding dress.

Viril’s rage value instantly maxed out.

“I want you to pay with your life!”
