Chapter 251 - Fourth And Fifth Templar Knight

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."

North Gate of Waskin City

A big crowd gathered there, the battle between Tang Shaoyang and Henry attracted the crowd. [Harmony Judgment] and the unknown skill that was similar to [Harmony Judgment] could be seen from inside the city.

The people in the city could tell the Templar Knight was fighting against someone. However, the guards did not allow them to go outside hence a big crowd formed at the inner part of the north gate.

Twenty Guardian Knights and fifty Royal Knights were stationed on the gate so no one dared to force their way out.

"Why can't we go outside? Let us see the fight too!"

That kind of scream directed to the Royal Knight, but they just stood there silently. They ignored the suspicion and the yell from the crowd. Their duty was only one, it was not to let anyone go outside the city.

The fact that the death of the Templar Knight Henry had to remain secret or the church's name would take a big hit. Hence the Lord of the city and the Church were working together to cover everything. They wanted to make sure no one knew about this.

Meanwhile, outside the city, two battalions of the Guardian Knights were deployed to secure the vicinity. Inside the crater where Henry's body and head separated, Hardy, the fourth Templar Knight of the Waskin City, was inspecting the corpse inside the crater.

The fifth Templar Knight, Reus was inspecting the crater, he put his hand on the ground and closed his eyes. An image replaying in his head, it was the image of the past. The scene where Henry faced the lightning sword.

"Do you find something?" Hardy came to his side and asked, "Tch, don't you know I am working now?" Reus was annoyed that the scene in his head shattered halfway. He closed his eyes again, after five minutes, he stood up, "He went in the same direction of the trail, he is not that good to erase his track it seems."

Reus looked toward the northwest direction, "You send the Guardian to chase the trail right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Hardy nodded as he looked toward the same direction, "I heard Royal Knight was also sent to chase the villagers who escaped with him. Since you have confirmed where he fled, let's catch him."

"Don't you remember the order? We have to wait for Ben and Jake before we can capture him, that's the Saintess's order," Reus shook his head as he glanced at Henry's body.

"Are you afraid of him? Really? Hahaha…" Hardy let out laughter, "Reus is afraid of someone, is this a joke? If you are afraid of him just because he killed Henry, then I judge you wrongly all this time."

"Are you going to defy the Goddess' Decree?" Reus did not respond to Hardy's mock as he shot a glare to the brown-haired Hardy.

"I am not defying the decree, but executing the decree. The Saintess ordered us to capture the man alive, but she did not specify for us four to work together. Don't be stupid and come with me! He just used a big skill, he should be exhausted. Additionally the Royal Knight and the Guardian Knight, it should be easy for us to capture him alive." Hardy's reasoning was on point.

"If you don't want to go, then I will be going first. You can catch up with Ben and Jake later," the fourth Templar Knight waved his hand as he walked toward the northwest.

Reus did not have another choice but to follow Hardy. It did not take a long time for the two Templar Knights to arrive at the abandoned village. The two Templar Knight were left stunned with the scene greeted them within the abandoned village.
