Chapter 1091: Master Tail: What a joke, you want to clear me out

~9 min read 1,689 words

Astral Express.

Parlor Car.

Sorrow flashed in March 7th's eyes as she said: "In the Belobog of that time, the division between the upper and lower levels remained. The Underworld was poor and lacked resources. Marge was in that kind of situation, lacking treatment step by step, which is why she..."

Dan Heng closed his eyes and sighed: "This is a regret that cannot be changed. Fortunately, the Belobog of today has finally been saved."

Stelle sighed and said: "It's just that thinking of Marge is still inevitably sad."

"Marge, anyone who has done Lu Ka's companion mission knows her ending."

"Sigh, even Master Tail, he rarely communicates with others in such a gentle tone. It's really... moved again."

"Master Tail is truly rare among Heliobi. Besides Master Tail, I guess only that sword spirit Heliobus cast into the Cloud-Piercing Sword gives such a friendly feeling."

"I don't know why, but listening to Tail's tone, my nose can't help but feel sour."

"Me too. People always say I'm too emotional, but I can't change it after all."

【In the game's plot, perhaps because in the inner world, Lu Ka didn't hide his thoughts at all, he looked at Master Tail and said with a complex expression: "You might not be familiar with the place where I was born."】

【"When I was a kid, everyone lived a very, very bitter life. Every day, people were struggling on the edge of death..."】

【"Some people died to monsters, some died to bandits... I have seen a lot, a lot of death. At that time, I felt that we were too weak."】

【"As long as I become a little stronger, a little stronger, as long as I'm a little stronger, we can defeat our opponents and continue to live."】

【"Later, I did become stronger and became the boxing champion who fought all over the Underworld. At that time, I felt that as long as I swung my fists, no one was my opponent."】

【"I can become a role model for all the children in the Underworld! I can tell them that even when facing terrifying opponents, as long as we fight, we can win, we will definitely win!"】

【When he said this, light appeared in Lu Ka's eyes again. That was Lu Ka's former confidence and high spirits.】

"I can understand that feeling. A youth's lofty aspirations are always so beautiful."

"Lu Ka did indeed win glory for himself with his own fists. He is truly an amazing person."

"And Lu Ka also brought courage to Marge, who was in pain. This is really, really good."

"It's just that there is no end to becoming stronger. In this vast galaxy, there will always be someone stronger than you. It's hard for a person to keep winning."

"The Belobog of that time was really too miserable."

"Whether it was the danger of the Fragmentum monsters or the cold of the wind and snow, the entire Belobog faced the risk of destruction."

"If it weren't for the Nameless of the Astral Express appearing, Belobog would probably have been submerged in endless wind and snow."

【In the game's plot, Lu Ka's expression quickly changed from high-spirited to sad and lonely, and he said in a low voice: "However, when I wanted to tell Marge the news of the victory, her father told me that she was gone."】

【"Marge... dragging such a small body, she had been fighting against the illness. She had been fighting, she had to win this match!"】

【"In the end, I finally understood that life is full of battles that cannot be won. Some battles, even if you have to win, you will still lose."】

【"Just like when facing Mr. Boothill. I lied to those children... I also lied to myself. I can't face them."】

【Watching Lu Ka's retreating back, Tail sighed deeply and said: "Sigh... he is avoiding the problem. Let's chase after him and see."】

Jarilo-VI.

Belobog.

Qliphoth Fort.

Seele's expression was complex as she said: "This kid Lu Ka, is he actually thinking about such complex things in his heart? Really..."

Bronya's expression was sad as she sighed: "This is the thing that truly traps Lu Ka's heart. Losing the match to Mr. Boothill just triggered this hidden emotion in Lu Ka's heart."

Underworld.

Lu Ka watched the plot in the game, a flash of sorrow on his face: "There are too many battles in this world that must be won but cannot be won. Am I... avoiding them?"

Somewhere in the galaxy.

Boothill watched the plot in the game, holding his head helplessly: "Damn it, I think I really went too hard."

【In the game's plot, Master Tail continued to float forward, and saw Lu Ka and Boothill confronting each other.】

【Boothill's gun barrel was aimed at the center of Lu Ka's brow, and he said: "Damn it, someone is playing with you, but I'm not playing with you!"】

【"I insist on fighting you to the death. If you don't have the guts, why come here?"】

【"Come on, look at my gun barrel. Walk over and punch me. Do you dare?"】

【"Lu Ka! Walk over! Punch me! Do you dare!"】

【In the endless fear and pressure of life, like a reappearance of the match with Boothill in the ring before, Lu Ka resisted the fear of death, swung his fist bravely, and finally, was defeated in the sound of the gunshot.】

【Watching Lu Ka, who was exuding fear in this memory, Tail comforted him: "I think you were defeated with dignity. Not everyone has the guts to face a pitch-black gun barrel and still rush up to punch him."】

Livestream chat.

"Master Tail is right. At such a time, this courage is already stronger than most people."

"Indeed, you have to know that Lu Ka doesn't know what kind of person Boothill is like we do. In that situation, Lu Ka's courage is really admirable."

"And even if it were me, having learned about Boothill's temperament through the previous main storyline, I probably wouldn't have the guts to swing a fist in that situation."

"Yeah, Boothill didn't look like he was joking at that time, although he really didn't have any murderous intent."

"Courage is sometimes more important than anything else."

【In the game's plot, Lu Ka laughed at himself: "Then what else can I do?"】

【"I turn around and leave? I admit defeat? Is there any essential difference between this and rushing up to give it a try? Because no matter how I choose, my life wasn't in my own hands at that time."】

【"Do you understand? As long as he wants to kill me, I don't have the slightest room to resist. In the final analysis, it was Mr. Boothill who spared my life."】

【"I hate this feeling... I feel like I'm powerless, held in someone else's hands, and no matter how I resist, it's like a joke."】

【"That child Marge, when facing the illness, must have felt this way too, right?"】

"Lu Ka's inner demon seems really heavy."

"This feeling is like a youth's high spirits and ambition being suddenly crushed by an irresistible mountain. That feeling of being unable to breathe or resist is indeed painful."

"It's very similar to Lieutenant Yanqing's mood after taking that sword from Jingliu. That original confidence was actually so fragile."

"But the galaxy is so big, there will always be existences stronger than you. Just like ordinary people facing those with weapons, commoners facing Pathstriders, Pathstriders compared to Aeons—even Aeons have times when they fall..."

"Sigh, yeah, in the vast universe, a person is so small. But even so, we can choose our own life, our own destiny. Even if it looks ridiculous, isn't this my own choice?"

【In the game's plot, Tail looked at Lu Ka's appearance and scolded: "Idiot, is there anything in this world that isn't 【held in the hands】 of the universe?"】

【"Even our Heliobus ancestors were trapped in a furnace, and even Aeons must walk on their Paths. Freedom? Is it that important?"】

【Lu Ka said painfully: "You don't understand, Master Tail. I just don't want to lose."】

【After saying this, Lu Ka's back moved away again.】

【Seeing this, Tail said helplessly: "Why did he run away again? Forget it, it's almost time to enter the depths of his heart... that's where the nightmare that made him lose confidence should be hidden."】

The Xianzhou Luo Fu.

Exalting Sanctum.

Lieutenant Yanqing watched the plot in the game and silently closed his eyes, his mood complex: (Don't want to lose? Lu Ka, we... are really alike!)

Jing Yuan watched the plot and sighed gently, then looked at Lieutenant Yanqing on the side, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He knew that after this, whether it was Lu Ka or Lieutenant Yanqing, they would both have tremendous growth.

"Don't want to lose. Sigh, no one wants to lose, but in this galaxy, who can be undefeated?"

"Maybe it's because sometimes, if you lose, you really have nothing left."

"But it's also like what Master Tail said, the true reason hidden deep in Lu Ka's heart that made him lose confidence is about to be revealed."

"Sigh, I still hope Lu Ka can recover."

"With Master Tail taking action, Lu Ka will definitely recover!"

【In the game's plot, Tail continued to float toward the depths of Lu Ka's heart, and saw Lu Ka facing two monsters, in a low state...】

【 】

【Vaguely, the voice of Lu Ka's inner demon sounded, constantly affecting Lu Ka: "Run, run! Run, you idiot, you can't win! You will die!"】

【"Run! Run! Run for your life, you can't win!"】

【"Go back to Belobog, your level is too far behind! You will die!"】

【"You still want to return home in glory and make a name for yourself? Dream on! You can't win at all! Run! Are you not afraid of death!"】

【Just as Lu Ka was sinking into the words of the inner demon, Tail suddenly appeared: "Hey! You ghosts, stop talking nonsense here! Get out of here right now!"】
