This is Blackwater City.

The outermost part of the Sora Alliance's rule.

As the outermost boundary of human activities, it is constantly threatened by various creatures in the wilderness.

It was not until the establishment of the alliance that the dilapidated city walls were reinforced and a branch of the Earth Defense Force was stationed here, and human safety was basically guaranteed.

However, it is only basic protection.

The city walls can only withstand ordinary beast tides, and are helpless when encountering legendary monsters.

Fortunately, there are giants here.

In short, thanks to the efforts of humans and giants, the city is gradually getting better.

The city wall separates the wilderness from humans, and the part where people gather inside is the entire Blackwater City.

Although it is called a city, it is actually a collection of scattered villages.

The poorest people in the alliance live here, rising with the sunrise and resting with the sunset.

And Youlian was born and raised here.

Today is her eleventh birthday.

Youlian has been sitting on the swing under the tree at the door in a daze since the afternoon.

She is waiting for her father.

His father was an old soldier, and it was said that he had fought in several battles with King Sulla in his youth. However, when King Sulla ascended the throne, he refused the opportunity to stay by his side and rise in status, and chose to stay in Blackwater for a farm girl.

So, she was born.

During the reign of King Sulla, my father could only go outside the city to hunt wild animals in exchange for living expenses. He narrowly escaped death and was covered with wounds.

But every time he woke up the next day, he would drag his heavy body out of the city.

By this time, most of his injuries had already healed.

And all this is because of her existence.

She was born with a gift called healing.

In the white light emitted from the hands, the wounds can heal at several times the speed.

This is also their family's unspoken little secret.

After the alliance was formed, the city organized the Earth Defense Force, and her father was chosen as the captain of the detachment because of his great prestige.

Things are getting better.

Youlian hummed the little tune her mother taught her, waiting for the tall man to appear in her sight.

She had long, flowing black hair, so pure in texture that no finest silk could compare to it.

When the wind blows, the long hair flutters, stirring the hearts of many young people.

As the sun sets, several elongated shadows appear on the horizon.

You Lian's eyes lit up, she waved her hands, and said in a clear voice: "Father!"

The tall man laughed heartily: "My dear daughter! Look who's here?"

The veterans nearby, who were wearing the same uniforms as the men, smiled and greeted.

Just as they were about to introduce themselves, they heard the girl in front of them calling out their names in a soft voice.

"I know, these uncles have been to our house before, and some of them even hugged me."

The veterans' eyes flashed with surprise: "She seemed unable to speak at the time, how could she remember things so early?"

"Don't you even look at whose daughter it is?"

The man puffed out his chest proudly.

"Brother, you can't give birth to such a smart daughter with your brain. I think it must be your sister-in-law's good genes."

"That's it!"

"Look, my sister-in-law is here."

"Sister-in-law is still as charming as ever."

"What do you mean by as beautiful as ever? She is obviously more beautiful than before!"

"You guys, I heard your voices from so far away, stop flattering me and come in."

The scene was very harmonious and laughter echoed above the house.

The uncles who had not met for a long time drank wine, and the mother held the father's ear with a smile, and everything seemed so beautiful.

Yes, it should be so beautiful...

The ground was shaking. The guards on duty looked out through the city wall and found several huge figures rushing towards the wall.

"There are monsters, and more than one!"

"What? It's a monster..."

The sleepy attendant rubbed his eyes.

"It's just a token of our appreciation. There will be giants to help us solve the problem anyway."

"Yeah, it's really rare."

However, as the monster's hideous body got closer and closer to the city wall, there was no sign of light in the sky.

Finally, as a huge claw slapped the city wall, the humans guarding the city discovered something different from before.

“They are coming!!”

"Where's the giant! Where's the giant?!"

"Have they abandoned us?!"

"Liar! Those giants are liars!"

"Don't come over here! Ah!!!"

...

Amidst the loud explosions, the city walls collapsed, and several huge figures roared to the sky amid the shrill alarms, wantonly displaying their power.

Several drunk veterans rushed out of the house and saw this doomsday-like scene.

"Monsters, are they attacking?"

"What are the guards on duty doing? Why weren't they notified in advance?!"

"Where is the giant? Why didn't the giant appear?"

"Forget about the giants, evacuate the people!"

Amidst the chaos, a pair of huge eyes stared in their direction.

The monster opened its huge mouth, and a stream of flaming energy accumulated in its mouth, and then erupted.

"boom!"

The whole house was blown to pieces on the spot.

In the burning ruins, a fragile white ball of light flickered and shattered in the air.

The pale-faced You Lian stood up from the crowd and looked around at the scene in front of her with a blank look on her face.

The earth is burning and the monsters are roaring.

Screams, explosions, and crying filled the entire world.

"Father, mother!"

She called out to the two people closest to her.

There was no response in the air, only the explosions of burning houses.

And in a ruin, she finally felt a familiar breath.

They were two charred objects, and vaguely human shapes could be seen.

The man held his wife firmly under him, while his wife stretched out her hands forward as if trying to grab something.

That was the direction she had been standing in.

A faint white light emanated from Youlian's hand and flowed towards the two people on the ground.

"Father and mother, don't be afraid, I will save you right now!"

Cold tears streamed down her face as the girl frantically used her healing spell.

And as if sensing her breath, her mother made a faint sound.

"Little...Lian..."

Youlian grabbed her hand.

My mother's originally delicate hands were covered in black blood and burnt black.

She stared at her daughter, as if she wanted to remember her forever in her heart.

"You have to... take care..."

"Alive..."

"Mother, please stop talking. I will save you!"

You Lian cried and shook her head.

Intermittent white light poured out from her hands, but as the light energy dissipated, the blood color on her face gradually faded.

She had used up most of her strength just now to defend against the monster's attack.

At this moment, a weak but firm force came from her hand and pushed her hand away.

The mother raised her hand and touched her face.

"Silly child...I'm going to die..."

An abnormal flush came over her face.

"Your father...he is waiting for me..."

"It's just hard...you..."

Her hand left a bloody mark on Youlian's face.

"Live well..."

"My daughter..."

The raised hand finally fell down weakly, and the mother left this world with worry and reluctance for her daughter.

You Lian knelt in front of the two corpses with her head lowered.

The pale light weakly seeped out from the body of the person on the ground, it was powerless to do anything to the dead object.

But its owner still did not stop the delivery.

She intermittently transmitted life energy to her parents on the ground, in an attempt to wake them up.

And these powers do not come without a cost.

It was visible to the naked eye that the girl's originally jet-black hair gradually turned pale.

At this moment, two brilliant lights streaked across the sky, passed through the sky and landed in front of the monster.

The belated Giant of Light finally arrived at the battlefield.
