Chapter 20 - Chapter 21: Broken Glasses and the Rise of Darkness

When Laila's magical glasses were shattered by the arrow, the entire valley seemed to sink into a heavy silence. Those glasses weren't just a tool; they were Laila's shield of protection. When General Draco's soldiers saw that magic no longer had an effect on them, they surged forward like wild beasts, screaming. For the first time, our lazy hero felt a crushing pain in his chest. He gripped Laila's hand tightly, but her eyes held nothing but terror.

​The hero tried to use his magical pillow to create a powerful gust of wind to lift the cloud back up. But Draco's soldiers threw massive iron nets, snagging the cloud. The cloud began to descend slowly. Draco laughed mockingly, "Today, your paradise of laziness will become your grave!" The hero shouted, "Run, Laila! Run toward the forest; I'll hold them off!" Laila cried, "I won't leave you. If laziness is our destiny, we will stay together." But they didn't know that General Draco had set a poisoned arrow in his bow, and its target was directly at Laila's heart.
