Chapter 550

Chapter 172 Entrusted to You

“We… are we just… abandoned… pawns…”

In the south of Deerhorn Town, the scorching karma fire burned trees, melted frost, and devoured everything in this shrubbery wilderness. Under the night sky illuminated by the scarlet flames, Daniel, with a large hole in his chest and half of his face already bloodied and mangled, held Olivia’s hand tightly but then it slipped away silently.

Bang—

The man’s body fell onto the scorched earth. His eyes, wide open, had lost their luster.

“Dan… iel…” Olivia sobbed softly.

In the next moment, viscous, bloody light streams, like smoke, floated out from Daniel’s slightly open mouth, nostrils, ear holes, the large hole in his chest, and even from his putrid eye sockets, heading towards Miss Meese’s direction. Daniel’s body rapidly withered, turning into a skeleton wrapped in skin.

This…

I stared wide-eyed.

Those mist-like light streams entered Miss Meese’s body one after another. The light flickering in her eyes was as red as blood, and the blood snakes coiling around her body grew thicker and began to dance rapidly. Flames burned, intertwining with the golden light of the miracle, emitting increasingly bizarre and dazzling light.

It’s the abyss devouring!!!

No, that’s not right, it’s not the abyss… but it looks like it… It’s definitely not just the power of the karma fire…

The ordinary man died…

Multiple thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, my heart in chaos. I couldn’t sort out what Daniel said before he died, nor could I figure out how to respond to the sudden situation. My limbs felt icy and numb, and I was stunned.

“Daniel!!!”

Karl, enveloped in golden light, rushed from the side. Blood-stained robes fluttered behind him. The young man, no longer as handsome as when first seen, now had disheveled hair, tears in his eyes, and a hideous face like a demon. He dodged to the right of Miss Meese, ignoring the entangling blood snakes, and pushed forward with both hands, palms aimed at the woman’s indifferent face. “F**k you—”

Boom!

Golden light exploded from Karl’s palms, releasing a brilliant radiance. The blinding light instantly turned the night into day. Nearby figures were instantly engulfed, and shockwaves spread, causing strong winds to dance, black ashes and scorched earth to burst into the air. The ground beneath us trembled suddenly. I couldn’t help but squint and cover my face, stepping back with Moonwalk.

“Karl!”

After retreating dozens of meters, seeing Olivia’s heart-wrenching cry and her attempt to rush toward the light, her body swaying wildly in the chaotic currents, barely able to stand, finally, a flash of golden light teleported him behind, appearing on a slope十余米外。

“教宗大人……”

巨响的余韵在耳边扩散，脸色苍白的女人抬起头，在光晕中忽明忽灭的侧脸，带着难以抑制的悲恸与苍凉：“为什么……我们都按您的旨意做了……为什么……到了此刻，您还是不愿现身……是我们哪里做错了吗……丹尼尔已经死了……您为什么还不现身，为什么要放弃我们啊——”

“教！宗！大！人——！！！”

那嘶哑的喊声被滚滚风浪掩盖，在震颤中荡然无存，空气中点点星芒挥散，飞扬的尘灰飘过来，奥利维亚望着前方炸起的金芒与火焰，泪水夹杂着血液与泥灰，湿润了她的脸。

“奥利维亚！”

怀揣着难以道明的复杂情绪，我转头朝她喊道：“怎么回事？这到底、怎么回事！安吉尔，怎么了！？他在干什么——”

脑袋完全是乱的。

也许是受到奥利维亚情绪的感染，愤怒与焦躁开始在我心中扩散，我想起之前丹尼尔对我说过，他说教宗大人会及时赶到，压制那个叫梅瑟的舞女，然而事情已然走到这种地步，那个男人却并没有如约而来…

我逐渐失去冷静，脑袋里反复盘旋着一个念头：他要是来了，我就能专注对付一个人了，小丑或者梅瑟小姐，逐一干掉就好，何必像现在这样进退两难…

该死的男人，王八蛋！蠢货！他到底在

What are you doing!

Even if something really unexpected happened and there was no way to get out of it, Isaac could do it! And that young bishop whose name I don’t know, either of these two are incredibly powerful, either one could solve this situation! Why did things turn out like this, what was he thinking!

The clown might run into the town soon!!!!!

Rumble…

It seemed to respond to my speculation, in the distance of my vision, under the silent night sky, in the deer town with flickering lights, a sudden burst of crimson flames shot up.

!!!

It’s over…

My heart suddenly turned ice-cold.

Is it still possible to make it there in time…

With that damned dancer there, can I get through…

In a daze, I heard Olivia whisper, “Miss Silviga.”

I suddenly snapped awake, coming out of my stupor, and shouted at her again, “What’s going on? Where’s Angel?! Where is he! What is the Church doing!?”

The woman didn’t answer my question.

“Leave, get away from here.”

She said in a calm voice, her long hair fluttering in the wind, her throat choked, her tone filled with a sense of doom, “Karl is still alive. Next, it will be up to us two to hold her off for you.”

“…”

I couldn’t speak.

“That relic is fake, it’s a lure set by the dancer to draw us out. The real blood bead is probably still in the hands of the clown, he took it and left, you must chase after him.”

We should chase together…

I moved my lips, but those words never came out.

Because it was impossible.

“You heard their conversation, the clown took the beads, he will definitely kill more people, using their blood to imbue the relic with some energy to open the land of the great dragon. We cannot let such a thing happen, absolutely not.”

“Miss Silviga, our mission may end here. And you, you must take our place and reclaim the relic stolen by the heretics for the Church, this is a very important matter, entrusted by His Holiness… given the circumstances, perhaps only you can do it.”

Olivia swallowed hard, seemingly suppressing her sobbing, “Think of it as saving the lives of those innocent people…”

She clasped her hands in front of her chest, and dazzling golden light shone from her body.

Hum—

The sound of a miracle echoed in the night sky dyed red by flames.

In front of me, the waves of light and fire gradually settled, amidst the dust flying everywhere, the dancer’s figure in a red dress appeared, holding Karl upside down, dragging his blood-soaked body, leaving a long dark red trail on the ground.

“You all can’t leave.”

Miss Meser’s voice came from afar.

“That’s not necessarily true…”

Hum-hum-hum-hum—

On the other side, the golden light on Olivia’s body became even more dazzling, the buzzing and trembling filled the air, she pointed forward, countless streams of light converged into a torrent, like a golden brocade, rushing towards the woman’s direction, converging and spreading dazzling light in the night sky.

“Now!” Olivia shouted loudly.

Hum—

Accompanied by a huge dull sound, the light bloomed instantly ahead, a large arc-shaped light cover descended, trapping Miss Meser within, the next moment, the man she was dragging backward suddenly stood up, forming a sharp light blade in his hand, piercing the woman’s calf.

A strange sound, countless blood-red snakes surged out of the dancer’s body, fiercely assaulting the golden light shield, the dull sounds kept coming, Olivia’s face twisted in pain, blood oozing from her nose, mouth, and eyes, she used all her strength, shouting hoarsely at me, “We will hold her off, at least twenty minutes! You go! Go quickly—”

Given your condition, how can I believe what you say…

Moon Step—

Peng!

I stepped on the ice column shooting up, performing the Moon Step, my figure leaped over Olivia’s head, in the corner of my eye, the woman who kept vomiting blood seemed to smile.

“It’s… up to you now…”

“Stay alive, wait for me!”

I almost screamed, then without looking back, stepping on the condensed ice platform, I rushed toward the higher sky.
