The bolt of the Hellfire was attached to the heavy crossbow, and the crossbow did not have a bowstring, but the bloodsuit touched the heavy crossbow, and the hellfire crossbow fired a heavy 'rocket'.

The glorious light dyed Meeleita's hair, armor, and wings gold, and shone brightly.

The succubus holy warrior stomped on the ground with iron boots, and the barrier of holy light rose around the clearing outside the two of them, and the crossbow arrows made of the power of hell were dissolved when they passed through the barrier, but the crossbow arrows were only cover, and the fierce blood armor demon took the lead in rushing into the light barrier.

The barrier was illusory and insubstantial, but the few blood-armored demons who rushed over with giant axes were also ignited by the holy light.

Enduring the sharp pain of their souls and bodies being burned at the same time, they picked up their giant axes and swept them over, and several rays suddenly pierced the center of their eyebrows, which stunned Meelita, who was about to take on the enemy.

When she turned her head to look, she saw Grush's sword clenched in her hand and the codex hovering beside him glowing.

Two unknown artifacts activate on their own, and the divine power protects Grush's body, even if his soul is not here, the two artifacts can protect their owners.

Seeing this, Meelita breathed a sigh of relief, but soon, her face turned grim.

The Devil Legion didn't know what stimulation they were receiving, they raised their heads and roared in unison, and the devils surrounding the Holy Light Barrier directly lowered their heads and broke into the barrier, even if their bodies were burned, even if their souls were burned, they were not afraid at all.

With both hands clenched on the handles, Meelita stood sideways, looking around with wary eyes.

The hammer swung suddenly, and the whistling hammer fell on the head of one of the desolate demons, and the huge head exploded like a watermelon, but the warhammer still had no strength, dragging the wind and flying towards the other skull, smashing its chest cavity into a depression.

Just one collision caused the Bone Demon to lift his feet off the ground and crash into the other demons.

The devil surged up from all directions, and the two paladins were an isolated island in the middle of the ocean, and endless storms had already been set off on the sea, and the majestic tide crashed against the precarious shore.

The succubus turned around and slashed the hammer in his hand, and the flower of flesh bloomed on the ground, and the flames that burst into flames burned the devil's body, and the sparks flew and spread to the other devils.

Without a moment's respite, Meelita raised her leg and kicked into the jaw of a spiked demon, the churning light pouring into its head and rushing out of the Celestial Spirit Cover.

At this moment, Meeleita took a deep breath, raised her head and let out a scream, the sound waves rippled, and the demons around her suffered a soul blow.

The succubus holy warrior raised a hand, and a flame suddenly appeared in her palm, only to see the five fingers suddenly retract, and the burst of light sprinkled on the earth, dyeing the surface of the devil's body with a layer of holy brilliance.

Heart-rending wails poured out of the devils' throats, and many of them fell to the ground and rolled on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames.

Meelita held the hammer and gasped for breath, her eyes turning away from the devils and falling on Grush's, her brow furrowed slightly, and a little worry rose in her heart.

Where did Grush's soul go......

Sonor!

The two swords staggered in the air, and Starr raised his wrists, the two blades rubbing against each other, bursting with sporadic sparks, and then he suddenly raised the tip of his sword and stabbed it into Grush's throat.

Grush leaped backwards, but was pulled by Starr with his staggered sword, and as soon as he stumbled, a sword light slashed across his neck, ending his life.

The handsome-faced contract demon put down his long sword, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he watched as a light in the distance was slowly spreading, and the body of the holy warrior was condensed again.

And this time, Grush's forehead was as big as a bean, his face was like gold paper, and his lips were very shriveled.

"Your fighting skills are all obtained from actual combat, if you match your strength, maybe there won't be too many flaws, but if you fight 'fairly'......" The corners of the devil's mouth twitched contemptuously, "You are too weak!"

He had had a 'paladin' experience, and he had been taught by the Church of Radiance to fight, but he was still too weak compared to the devil......

Grush gritted his teeth and clenched the hilt of his sword, his gaze that was about to collapse was re-determined, and wave after wave of exhaustion poured out of the depths of his soul, and his mental state was also poor compared to that devil.

This is the battlefield of the soul!

He felt that his body was still full of strength, but mental exhaustion was inevitable.

Here, there is no holy light, no flames, and not even the devil can use any spells.

Pure combat skills are the only thing they can use, and other than that, it's a test of their willpower to see who can make it to the end!

Death is nothing here, as long as the will is strong enough, you can always come back from the dead, but every defeat is a heavy blow to the will, even if Grush doesn't think about it, he can't help but feel discouraged in his heart that 'the enemy can't be defeated'.

As soon as Grush had strengthened his will, Starr rushed up again and stabbed Grush straight at the door.

The tip of the sword that shimmered with cold light continued to expand in the paladin's eyes, and for a moment, Grush's muscles tensed, and the long sword lifted from below, slashing through Starr's chest.

The devil's weapon pierced Grush's eyeballs, stirring his brain, Starr's smile froze on his face, and both bodies simultaneously turned into light and drifted away, condensing in the distance.

"It's useless!" said the resurrected contract demon with a sarcastic smile on his face, "Your will is strong, and my will is also very strong, not to mention that your goal is brighter, more righteous, and greater, so your soul and mind are nobler than mine—this kind of thing has never existed in this world!"

Grush gasped, silently clenching his weapon, staring at the devil.

"The reason why we have a conflict is only because of our different positions, you stand on the side of humanity and Assatom, and think that my invasion is evil, unjust, and despicable!" Starr raised the corners of his eyes in disdain, and blurted out harsh words, "But from my standpoint, my invasion is just! Only in this way can we survive, we can become stronger, you have to protect your people and the world, and I need to do the same!"

"It's just a struggle for the right to live, don't say how great you are, order and goodness will never be the ultimate goal of the multiverse, that's just you humans, for us devils, what we need is evil, what we need is greed, what we need is endless desire!

"We need you to move between hope and despair, and the myriad distractions that arise in the midst of that are what we desire the most—I know that you are angry now, because you cannot contradict my words, and your mind is touched by my words, and your ideas of the world and things will be subverted by my words......"

The devil pointed at the paladin, squeezing out more mocking smiles on his face, "You, you've been shaken!"

They were all in a state of 'exhaustion', so Starr was certain that the paladin would not be able to strike easily at this time, because he could not afford to die.

So he can spare no effort to strike at the enemy's tenacity with words, without beware of a sudden attack by the enemy.

“...... Now, I just want revenge!"

Before he could finish speaking, Grush's legs suddenly stepped open, and his furious sword slashed down at the head.

Looking beyond the blade of the sword, Starr saw those angry eyes, and hurriedly swung his sword and slashed.

They died again at the same time, but this time after the resurrection, the devil suddenly panicked.

"I have to thank you for waking me up. Grush walked forward slowly with his long sword, with a hint of madness in his angry eyes, "The difference between us is only our position, there is no absolute difference between good and evil...... However, I just want revenge now!

"You destroyed the town hall and the surrounding houses, you lost many lives, and now I just want to avenge those innocent people!

"It is not justice to the evil of other races, but what if it is only for the revenge of innocent kindred?"

The holy warrior raised his long sword, pointed at the devil in front of him, and gritted his teeth and asked, "Devil, tell me - who summoned you to this world?!"

Hearing this, Starr was stunned for a moment, looked at the hideous and terrifying paladin in front of him, and after a while, suddenly burst out laughing.

"Arcane Empire! I can tell you very clearly - the Arcane Empire!"

The devil grinned and winked at Grush, "And then? What are you going to do? With your weak power, can you go and shake the Arcane Empire?"

"I can tell you the truth, our advent was arranged by the Arcane Empire, and in addition to this kingdom, we have prepared other places for our arrival, and the flames of war will burn the whole world!

"And then, what can you do?"

The contract demon roared angrily, and slashed his sword diagonally, and the Grushti sword held the long sword, and the situation was deadlocked.

"Can you save the world? Can you save other humans? What can you do with your weak strength?"

The devil tried to extinguish the fire of Grush's will, but he never thought that he was adding fuel to the fire!

"That's why the world needs me even more!" replied Grush, in a hoarse voice, and he replied without fear, "I am a paladin, I am a legendary paladin, the backbone of this world, the mainstay of the world of Assatom!"

"Perhaps, I'm just the weakest of the many legends, or maybe, it doesn't make much difference with me or not......

"However, a little more strength is a little more hope, the Arcane Empire is different from the countries and organizations of Assatom, they try to kill the people of this world, and in order to conquer this world, they would rather share their souls with you!"

The paladin clenched his teeth, his sword-wielding hands trembling like those of the devil.

"Shut up!" Starr let out a snort with a contorted face.

He sensed that something was not quite right, that the will of this paladin was burning!

"As you said, I'm just here to protect my people, to protect the multiverse in my mind, but so what?"

The swords in their hands snapped at the same time, and the paladin and the devil swung their fists and slammed them into the heads of their enemies.

"I'll tell you to shut up!" the contract demon finally realized his mistake, this paladin in front of him was very different from other paladins, and he shouldn't use this method to deal with this guy.

"I, Grush, didn't become a paladin for 'justice' in the first place!" Grush gritted his teeth, his face hideous, but his eyes sparkled.

Starr didn't hesitate in the slightest, stepping forward and punching straight ahead.

Grush raised his arm to resist, and his right hand re-conjured the weapon, and Starr did the same.

The two swords slashed in the air, staggering for a moment, and then, the cold light shone one one after another, and was suddenly filled into the open space between them by the wind pressure that was lifted.

"I have escaped from the Glorious Church for my own selfish purposes from the beginning!" Grush raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth and roared, "I abandoned my mother, I abandoned my friends, I abandoned the expectations of my elders in order to pursue the so-called 'justice' in my mind, and I escaped from the Radiant Church in embarrassment - I am a selfish person, how can I talk about justice?!"

Click-bang!

The sword broke again, and the paladin and the devil roared, and once again a weapon condensed in their hands, wielding it wantonly.

The blades collided with each other, and sparks burst out, and a frenzied gesture appeared on both Grush and Starr.

"I'm the devil, what's wrong with me leading an army to attack the main material plane?

The contract demon also gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Holy Warrior, don't get in my way, I want to become stronger and stronger!

The two swords were embedded in each other's necks at the same time, and the devil and the paladin entered the countdown to resurrection, and when they woke up again, Grush suddenly opened his eyes and immediately took a step forward.

"Your strength is based on the slaughter of my people, and to me this is evil!" Grush paused and stopped in front of Starr, wielding his sword at the same time as him.

"Holy Light, this enemy in front of you is worth fighting!!

Even though he knew that there would be no light in this space, Grush roared angrily.

An invisible force surged from the bottom of his heart, and Grush's will was firm again!

"Get out of here!!"

The two were resurrected again, and Starr cried out with a hideous face and rage: "Don't stand in my way! your 'righteousness' is my 'evil'—and you pray for the light of a, there is no power here to sustain you, your faith is useless!"

A series of foul words blurted out, and the contract demon had lived up to his previous elegance and calmness, and he panicked!

"Devil, your will is not strong enough!"

After an unknown number of times, the paladin took a deep breath and swayed his body and stepped forward, "This time, I won!"

The devil's eyes flickered, and the tiredness of his spirit had made him open his eyelids completely, and so did the paladin, but there was something else that was sustaining the damned paladin!

And he has nothing to hold onto......

"You've been defeated since you were cowardly - this is the battlefield of wills, and from the moment you shut me up, you've taken the first step towards defeat!"

Starr looked up, and in a trance, he seemed to see a raging fire burning behind the paladin, and as the paladin approached step by step, it was approaching him.

In the midst of the flames, a black shadow rose high above him, like a mountain, and pressed down on Grush's body.

That's the responsibility he carries, and it's the 'faith' that anchors him in this world.

The heavy pressure made him afraid to bend his lumbar spine, and as soon as he bent down, everything would fall apart.

The contract demon laughed miserably, lifted his weapon, opened his mouth and bit the tip of his tongue, and with a 'grunt', his throat squirmed, and he swallowed his tongue into his belly, his eyes brightened again from the pain.

The corners of his mouth cracked in the direction of the base of his ear, and a hideous smile climbed Starr's face again.

He is the 'devil', and even in the end, it is impossible to satisfy the enemy!

Come on, Paladin!

- Khooth!
