Chapter 20: You Are My Faith (I)

Shang Ke wore a black robe, and he was holding a sword that was still dripping blood Standing in front of hiirl was sitting not even ten meters from him She was covered in blood, her expression di at him with a pair of pure eyes

fuck! The person he transrated as this time wasn't a serial killer, was he? This kind of bloody scene, this villainous appearance, it wasn't his style at all!

Following this, he began to receive the world's inforinal's memories

This was a continent nao, in the abyss of the e tree grew It was able to give off a devil qi that could erode the soul It then turned people into its apostles, urging thehter and cause disasters In this manner, it could absorb their spirits and release darkness

The people of Turan thus started to call it the ”Devil's Tree”

The only thing that could control the devil qi was the power of faith The power of faith was not restricted to religion or God, and it also included love, affection, friendshi+p, money, authority, and so on

The power of faith's main use was aher the amplification of their power The way that their faith was exhibited were also different, with different attributes For example, two people whose faiths were in battle and poould have related faiths, but the directions they each go in were entirely different The forht become a politician

Their shared sih, they could resist against the devil qi's erosion

However, people's heart are complicated, and everyone has their own dark side The in to draw in devil qi Sh willpower and faith, but for those eak hearts and sche natures, the devil qi eaken and corrupt the apostles for the Devil's Tree

After turning into apostles, the Devil's Tree will become their faith They will then be able to obtain the Devil's Tree's dark power, and bring disaster to the land

The person who Shang Ke had taken over was a devil apostle, a very strong devil apostle His nae, Light Ode College, as the top student and was a publically known genius Many people had been paying attention to hi nuht for nu, and was deterhter on the continuent, not losing to anyone However, two years later, he received his first defeat since coenius was evenly er than him by two years The moment that he joined the school, Osari's number one title was snatched, and his subsequent battles were few in victories and abundant in losses The blow that hit hiraduation battle, where the other completely dominated and defeated him It was only then that he realized that the other had always hid his strength, and he lost without any dignity left

Osari, whose faith was in ”being number one,” could not accept the reality of defeat, and resentrew in his heart Afterwards, he traveled far away, and no news of hiain

He did not know that the person who had defeated him was Prince Tylor of the i ever since he was young No 's difficulty or his resources, everything surpassed Osari's If it was just talent, Osari would unconditionally win, but it was a pity that his willpoasn't strong enough, and his defeats had co nu undefeated Rather, it was so that he could continue striving to climb to the summit, until he could obtain an achievement that was solely his ”number one”

Everyone did not know that, after Osari left, he was never able to vent the unwillingness in his heart, and thus was eroded by the devil qi In the end, he threw himself into the Devil's Tree's e Ke transrated, it was already Osari's fifth year as an apostle He had been a genius at fighting to begin with, and after his faith turned to the Devil's Tree and he obtained the devil qi's additional power, his strength increased even ed over Turan Continent with no one to stop hihter everywhere Everyone only knew that there was such an apostle, and no one knew that he was the genius Osari that had gonefive years prior His cruelty and power caused people to surrender in terror, and he was known as the ”Slaughter Devil”

He was really a great villain!

Shang Ke's original instinct was coreat villain's turning point

He had just killed a group of slave traders Only that girl, one of their ”goods,” re Ke had not appeared, then Osari would have raised his sword and unhesitantly struck the child At that moment, he would encounter the world's main character, Kaiser, and his companions The two sides would then start a fierce battle

Osari would aggressively kill the irl were left alive

Frohter Devil” Osari and the irl would beco Ke looked at the girl closely and finally reence wasn't that high, but she had a very pure spirit and an exceptionally strong power of faith

【MainKe was speechless His current identity was the Devil's Tree's apostle If he were to seal the Devil's Tree, then he would lose his devil qi and become a useless person Of course, he wouldn't care if he turns into one, but the ih nothim, as a villain, his entire body was full of devil qi, could he really survive to the point of sealing the Devil's Tree?

In addition, after exchanging souls, he no longer believed in the Devil's Tree, so this er obtain power from the devil qi It was quite the opposite, and because of the conflict in faith, he will receive opposition from the devil qi He will need to rely on his willpower to forcefully suppress the devil qi within his body, and bear the pain from the devil qi

This world hadn't even started yet, but Shang Ke could already foresee his ood to throw him, who has no defensive ability whatsoever, into this world? At least wait for hier had ti to appear from behind the corner of the rockat the dead bodies littered around him and the sword in his hand, prepared to kill someone, they likely wouldn't say a would and si Ke directly threay the sword in his hand and rushed up to the little girl Pupu, and held her

The moment after he did all of that, he saw seven people rush over They all looked down at the dead bodies on the ground and the two e blankly

”What happened?” A blond hairedKe asked softly in reply, ”And who are you people?”

”My na some students out for experience” The few people did not rashly approach them, but rather, they carefully sized up the situation

There were over twenty bodies on the ground, all badly dale corpse in one piece The way they died was terrifying, and it was clear that they had met a powerful attacker There were only these two alive, one se The older one was dressed entirely in black and they couldn't see his appearance, but judging by his voice, he should be quite young The younger one was only six or seven

The tere both stained with blood, and appeared especially towering a Ke heard the other say Light Ode College, he thought to hi Ke explained to him, ”These people were all slave traders We were captured by theh here, weman, and the moment he saw people he killed them In the end, only the two of us were left”

Pupu looked up at Shang Ke from his embrace, her face at a loss She did not understand him at all However, his embrace made her feel very much at ease, and it was completely different froainst his chest, then tilted her head to look at Gwyn and the others

Shang Ke did not notice her action, but Gwyn and the others saw it Perhaps they had soirl's intiht one student with hiuard They quickly found so Ke had not lied Those people were slave trackers, and so the chance when they were checking the bodies, Shang Ke also quietly sized them up

It was a total of five men and tomen The blond man named Gas the oldest, while the others were all only around twenty

The first one Shang Ke took note of was the hly 180c with the corners of his lips slightly raised, exceptionally handsos, a pair of swords crossed behind his back His somewhat lazy appearance, coht, like the depths of an endless sea

Shang Ke felt that this irl beside hilances at hiirl's face was delicate, her teht attire perfectly outlined her impressive body

Apart froloo, as well as another robust boy, whose height was over two meters These people were all supposed to die in Osari's hands, so Shang Ke did not know their names

”What are your na Ke's side

”Shang Ke, and she's Pupu” Shang Ke patted the girl in his eirl raised her head and smiled when she heard hihtly bloody se, but he did not say anything and turned around to introduce Shang Ke to his students

The red-haired girl was Vadula, and next were Amy, Doru, Youri, Fred, and the ”main character” Kaiser

Gwyn then asked, ”Where are you two from? If it's within the country's borders, then we can send you two ho Ke replied in a gloomy voice

Gwyn paused for a , ”Then you can follow us for now We are going to Watcher City, and we can decide what to do e get there”

”Thank you” Shang Ke sincerely gave his thanks

Shang Ke knew that, although they let him journey with them, they did not completely trust hi the attack's specifics Shang Ke randoether and dis it anyway

When night fell, Gwyn and his students an to start a fire and cook Shang Ke and Pupu sat nearby, silently watching

At this ti Ke a set of clothes, s as he told hio wash up by the river and change into these clean clothes” He then looked to Pupu, a bit aard as he continued, ”We don't have any children's clothes, so I'm afraid we can only let her wear so Ke took the clothes Youri gave him and led Pupu to the river

He first placed the new clothes on a clean stone, before taking off his black robes Long black hair was scattered like a waterfall over his shoulders, and hung to his ankles

Pupu followed his model, and also took off the worn out clothes on her body

Shang Ke looked down at Pupu, as only wearing a small undercloth

Pupu also raised her head to look at Shang Ke and his long, drifting hair

The two faced each other for a while, and then Shang Ke asked, ”Are you afraid of the cold?”
