Chapter 187: The End of the Dark Age!
The sun was shining brightly, and it was the first time in many years that Luke had woken up at this time of day.
Although his mood was quite complicated, he had to admit that he had slept very soundly.
At this moment, the three of them, who had gotten up late, were sitting at the dining table, preparing to eat a meal that was neither breakfast nor lunch.
Clatter!
This was the fourth time Ryuu had accidentally dropped food on the table.
The events of last night showed no signs of disappearing from her mind.
And Ryuu couldn't look directly at Luke now.
Especially after she found out that he had also gotten up late today, she subconsciously thought that his insomnia was due to similar reasons as hers.
Just thinking about him lying in bed last night, fantasizing about her naked body and unable to sleep, and possibly even doing some indescribable things, made Ryuu feel ashamed and embarrassed.
Her face was flushed, and her heart was racing.
"I-I-I'm full!"
Finally, the elf girl fled from the dining table.
…
After finishing the meal and waiting for Ryuu to calm down, Luke left the Stardust Garden with her and Ais.
They first went to the Hostess of Fertility tavern to pick up Syr.
Then, Ryuu's journey for revenge officially began.
First, it was people, then buildings, and finally strongholds.
With the help of Luke, Ais, and Syr's ability, the revenge progressed very quickly.
Without giving these organizations any time to support each other, Ryuu became like a different person from the moment she took the first step towards revenge.
Ambushes, sneak attacks, traps, threats, lies…
She used methods that were incompatible with the "elf" race to bury "evil" in the darkness.
All the methods that Lyra had forced her to learn were used by Ryuu without hesitation, and she even went further.
As long as someone was identified by Luke and Syr as being related to Evilus, whether they were adventurers, merchants, Guild staff, or ordinary residents, she would not hesitate to swing her blade.
Ryuu, resorting to any means necessary, transformed into a "punisher of evil," and her demeanor, even more terrifying than "evil" itself, made even Ais feel a chill.
Ryuu could not forgive the members of the Rudra Familia who had brought disaster to her Familia.
She could not forgive herself for being powerless in the face of disaster.
Although Ryuu's actions at this moment were indeed in line with "justice," their essence was actually a dark rampage.
In just a few days, the "gale" swept through every corner of Orario.
Finally, she arrived at the last stronghold of Evilus, the hidden residence of Rudra Familia.
This was the last one, the last target of revenge that Ryuu could find using all her means.
And the main target of the girl's revenge this time, the captain of the Rudra Familia, Jura Halmer, was right here.
"Aaaaaaaaaaah!"
Ryuu had completely lost her mind at this moment.
She let out a beast-like roar and charged directly at Jura and the others, who were trembling in fear.
Blood splattered, and limbs flew.
The battle ended in an instant, and no one escaped her rampage.
The elf girl, who was stronger than in the original story and had already leveled up to Level 5, used a picked-up dagger to chop all members of Rudra Familia into pieces, one by one.
Jura, who she had deliberately left alive, collapsed on the ground.
Ryuu silently walked up to him.
"Aaaaaaaaaaah!"
One slash, two slashes, three slashes…
Cutting off arms, slicing off ears, the dagger in Ryuu's hand kept falling on her enemy.
Listening to the screams and cries in her ears, a sense of pleasure surged in the girl's heart…
As well as a feeling of mourning for her dead companions.
Finally, she set fire to the entire building, including Jura and the many corpses.
Clap, clap, clap, clap!
"Haha, hahaha."
Just as all this ended, the god Rudra, who had been hiding somewhere before, appeared in front of Ryuu.
He clapped his hands and said to Ryuu with a mocking smile:
"Wonderful! It's truly a great sight!"
"Look at your dark expression now, you're just like a wounded vengeful shura."
"I really want to welcome you to my Familia with such an expression."
Ryuu stared at Rudra, her irrational appearance exactly as the god had said, a veritable "shura."
However, this expression did not last long.
The moment she heard a voice coming from behind her, the girl somewhat regained her sanity.
"Ryuu will never join another Familia. You can give up on that idea, Lord Rudra."
"As for whether she will degenerate into a 'shura,' that's not for you to worry about either."
Luke walked to Ryuu's side and smiled at her before turning to god Rudra and saying:
"You just need to know that there's nothing for you to do in the Lower World for the time being."
As Luke's voice fell, several teams appeared around them.
Loki Familia, Freya Familia, Ganesha Familia, and the Guild's Law Enforcement team surrounded the place.
Without paying any more attention to god Rudra, whose face was very ugly, he picked up the exhausted elf girl beside him and turned to leave.
At this point, the incident had come to an end.
Ryuu had successfully completed her "revenge."
In this incident, there were a total of twenty-seven large organizations, including chambers of commerce and mercenary groups, that were slain by Ryuu.
There were four gods, including Rudra, who were sent back to heaven as a result of her rampage.
In addition, countless shops, merchants, Guild staff, and ordinary residents were affected.
Although it was the turmoil caused by Ryuu under the drive of her dark flames of vengeance, ironically, this incident eventually became the trigger to end the "Dark Age" of Orario.
The Guild also announced the official end of the "Dark Age" the day after sorting out the results.
The era of Zeus and Hera Familia was completely over now, and the era of Loki and Freya Familia was about to begin.
At this point, the world ushered in a new page.
…
"Ugh..."
"Where... am I...?"
Ryuu slowly opened her eyes, still feeling a bit dazed after regaining consciousness.
"This is the Stardust Garden, your room."
Luke was sitting by the bed, and when he saw her wake up, he answered her question softly.
"Stardust Garden? ...Ah... I see... It's all over..."
After a brief moment of confusion, she gradually recalled everything.
She had fallen asleep due to exhaustion when Luke carried her away, and it was already the next day.
"Revenge... I succeeded..."
The elf girl put her hand on her chest, feeling her heart beating.
At this moment, the pleasure and sense of accomplishment that had appeared when she had just completed her revenge had long since disappeared.
All that remained was a faint emptiness.
