Chapter 250: Fourth and Fifth Templar Knight (1/2)
Delia had calmed down under Tang Shaoyang's gentle care. As for Arina, she was watching the couple cuddled together for fifteen minutes. It was a surprise that the man had this side of him, gentle and caring.
'But maybe because of the guilt. For someone at his caliber, losing his woman to someone weaker than himself would cause immense guilt,' she thought to herself. He had the power to protect her but still failed to protect, typically that kind of feeling. Arina understood that well.
”Alright, we have to catch up with your father, let's pack up and leave,” he whispered to the girl. Delia was reluctant to release the hug, but she understood this was not the time for this. She nodded, ”Mnn.”
He helped her to stand, the moment she stood up, her eyes looked down on her chest. The spot where she got stabbed to death. The lingered pain was still there but when she rubbed her chest, the lingered pain was gone. The pain was her imaginative feeling as her body was fully healed.
Tang Shaoyang then pulled the girl toward Arina who watched the remaining Guardian Knights. Her duty was to stab the knight who was about to recover so they would remain to immobilize. It was hard for the first time, but she felt nothing after a while.
”How's your condition?” He asked Arina. [Revival] cost a lot, including her level, ”Nothing, it's just I am not used to my current body since I dropped 100 levels suddenly,” with the sudden drop, her attributes certainly dropped a lot.
”Kill them!” Tang Shaoyang pointed at the surviving knight, ”They might not be able to return your level, but it will help you. I will help to raise your level too in the future.”
Arina immediately shook her head, ”No, I will not do that. Killing for level is taboo, I can't–” she stopped halfway as she realized something.
Killing each other to level up was a taboo, that was the teaching of the Luminous Church. Yes, if they did that, they would be hunted down by the church and the kingdom. But now, ”Hahaha, stupid. I even used [Revival], why would I care about this taboo thing,” the girl laughed as she brought the sword with her toward the group of Guardian Knights.
”You better not watch this–” he was about to pull the girl, but Delia was staying still. She shook her head and replied firmly, ”I want to watch them die because they caused the villagers to die.”
He furrowed his brows, not wanting to protect her from the bloody thing but it was because she just got resurrected. This was not something good for her mind who just experienced the death itself. However, since the girl wanted to stay, he let her stay.
Arina walked toward the Guardian Knight, she slashed their head one by one. There was no hesitation in his slash. Twenty Guardian Knights got their heads beheaded by the cleric.
Meanwhile, Delia watched the whole thing without blinking her eyes. She seemed to hate them so much that she did not bat an eye when the head fell.
”You level up?” He asked when the girl went back to him with her sword dripped with blood. Her eyes were firm, not slightly disturbed for killing the knight, ”I am level 47, still far from my original level but this is good.”
”We have still more knights if you want to,” he pointed at the building where he detained the Royal Knight. Arina shook her head, ”You should take them for yourself, we need you to get stronger to face the Church. I can raise my level with my healing.”
The Church was hunting them down, Tang was their hope for them to survive against a giant force, the Luminous Church, ”You are right, I should have them for myself.”
