Chapter 298 - Dragon Transformation

From the distance, the remaining five Templar Knights gathered. Ruwen, the first Templar Knight, and Karl, the second Templar Knight had returned to the city.

"Are you sure we don't join the battle to help the adventurers? Shouldn't we avenge Hardy!?" Jake raised his voice at the four people. Usually, he would appear to be uncaring, but in fact, Jake was an emotional person type.

Reus shrugged his shoulder, he made an "It's not me who makes the decision" expression toward the young Jake. Ben sat still, remaining unresponsive.

"It's good to be young and ignorant," the golden-haired man, Karl responded with a sarcastic remark. Jake was the youngest Templar Knight, it was an open secret as the church used to boast Jake's potential.

Ruwen's pensive focused on Tang Shaoyang, his eyes never left the baldy for once until he heard Jake's voice. He let out a sigh, "Didn't you see what happened to the fourth? He is killed immediately, even his [Harmony Shield] is broken in one hit. Do you know what it means?"

"We have five people, and there are six Diamond Ranked Parties. Two Primes are also at our disposal!" Jake could not believe that number one would cower in the face of one man.

"What about those four beastmen? The beast armies behind them? Do you count them too? Couldn't you see the forest is filled with beasts, at least ten thousand beast armies behind them, have you thought how are you going to face them?" Ruwen shook his head.

"On top of that, why would we avenge a fool like Hardy? He decided to face that man alone, he died because of his foolishness! Moreover, haven't you heard the plan? Should I repeat the plan once again? We are here to stall the time until the Griffon Legion and Seanic Legion come!"

"What about the adventurers, right? Why should we care about them? You should care about yourself, what should we do to stall them when they break into the city." Ruwen did not raise his voice, his tone was flat despite the situation they were in.

The strongest Templar Knight could see what his friends could not see. He could see the amount of mana Tang Shaoyang has, and he also detected the strange energy the baldy used to kill Hardy. It was clearly not mana but it could easily break Hardy's highest defense.

Jake could not believe that Ruwen would be this cautious in front of one man. He could not see what Ruwen saw, so he judged the situation with his naked eyes, "Is he that strong?"

"Yes, he's that strong, and I even doubt myself whether I could hold him for thirty minutes, let alone days!" Ruwen kept shaking his head, "Also, what actually happened? Did the Saintess ever tell you why they want to catch this man?"

"This is Goddesses' will!" Reus replied shortly. He also did not know why the Goddesses wanted to catch this man so bad that they had to use all means, even involving the God of Sea, Seanic Church.

"I can use that even if I have to, it's not that we have other choices," Karl joined the conversation.

"Yeah, our last hope is to summon the Archangel," Ruwen let out a sigh and looked back toward the group of the adventurers, "Those foolish adventurers just won't listen, why do they have to foolishly fight outside? We are at a big advantage with the city barriers. For now, let's enjoy the show, just pray those fools could stall more times until the reinforcement comes!"

"Surrender yourself, and follow us for the trial at the Capital of Eidenburgh to atone your sins, Tang!" Carlos Artura yelled at Tang Shaoyang.

The shout reverberated to the air as the old man's vigorous voice echoed for everyone to hear.

"Yes, I will follow, but please forgive all my sins," he replied with a sincere expression, but then it changed to his usual grin, "Do you expect me to respond like that? Don't be ridiculous, you are a man with experiences, stop with the bullsh*t, just come at me!" Tang Shaoyang shook his head.

"I don't want to use such means, but I want to avoid unnecessary casualties," The Guild Master waved his hand to the man who brought a big bag.

The man unloaded the bag, and it was a woman in uniform. Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows, he felt familiar with the woman, but he kinda forgot who she was. The woman was in a half-awake state, her face paled, lost its color, and groaned for help, "H-help…"

Her voice was faint and weak, it was typical of a very exhausted voice. The frown on his forehead got deeper as he tried to recall the woman, then he remembered. It was the female guide who was in charge of his party.

"Follow us if you don't want her-" the man could not finish his words as Tang Shaoyang suddenly appeared in front of him. He used [Flash Step], three men tried to slash him with their swords but Tang Shaoyang was faster than them.

He retrieved Sera and returned to his original spot. The girl kept saying "help" with her weakened voice.

Tang Shaoyang felt guilty for the woman. He did not know what Sera went through because of him but he knew it was something horrible.

"You are safe, we will heal you immediately," he glanced toward Wen. The Jade Eagle got the signal, he was about to call his people to bring Sera back but then he stopped midway after hearing the woman's next words.

"No… Please… kill… me…" Sera was holding Tang Shaoyang's wrist with all her might, "I don't… live… more…"

Tang Shaoyang was shocked to hear this from the girl's mouth. He just could not imagine what she went through that made her lose her will.

"Filthy… don't… live… more… end… my suffering…" the girl was tearing up, but it was not tears but blood. He thought blood tears only existed in the movie, but now he witnessed it with his own eyes.

Meanwhile, the four beastmen moved forward, standing in front of Tang Shaoyang, protecting him from the adventurers.

"You don't want to live anymore?" Tang Shaoyang got his head closer to her ears and whispered, "Y-yes…"

He certainly felt guilty, but he was more upset than guilty. She died because of him, which was more upsetting. Anger started to bulb out inside him, "Then I will make sure that they will pay for what they did to you!"

"Kill… me…" Sera just wanted to die, she did not even care what he said to her. Dead, that was what she wanted more than anything.

Tang Shaoyang twisted her neck, killing her instantly. Blood tears painted her face as her body went weak. He let out a long breath as he slowly placed her body on the ground.

"I actually want to have fun and test all my new skills in actual battle, but I change my mind now!" He muttered in a low voice.

"Make sure to not kill the old man and the man who brought the bag. I am going to have fun with them later," After saying that, Tang Shaoyang cast her bloodline skill.
