Rewind the clock to 20 minutes ago.

"Yes!" Owen had no time to regret his carelessness, and he pressed his left hand against the piercing wound, dodging the mad William's deadly onslaught. There was no time to stop to bandage the wound, and as the amplitude of the action grew, blood gushed out of the wound like a gushing spring. Even if William could not hurt him again for the time being, after a long time, he would go into shock due to excessive blood loss.

Aware of his predicament, Owen was dodging and looking around at the same time, thinking of ways to get out. At this moment, his eyes fell on a house with a wide open door on the side of the road.

This is a bungalow, the space in the house is relatively small, and the owner of the house evacuated in a hurry, and even forgot to close the door. Owen was in limbo and jumped into the house, but William pursued him with his sword. Owen swam along the wall with a fluttering footwork, dodging William's sword while slapping the wall of the house with his free right hand. Due to the impact on his head, William had lost his due reason at this time, he didn't understand what Owen's intention was, and he didn't think to figure it out, he only knew that he wanted to kill Owen.

The two of them fought in a chase in the house, smashing the furniture in the house, which was still intact. Eventually, Owen managed to walk around the corner of the wall between the swords and swords, and then leaped out of the doorway. William chased after him, but he didn't expect that before he could rush out of the door, the house made a loud "boom" and the whole building collapsed.

Through Guò's hand contact with the wall, Owen managed to cast his crushing telekinesis on the wall, destroying the structure of the brick wall and making the building extremely fragile, and the collapsing rubble buried William in the rubble.

However, how could William, as a paladin, be so easily killed by the rubble? Before the dust had settled, the ruins of broken bricks trembled violently, and the fine sand and gravel bounced. The topmost layer of rubble was torn off by the energy that erupted from it, and a gray-faced, bloodied William broke out of the rubble with a roar of rage, still wielding the sharp sword in his hand. But the dust choked into his eyes, so he couldn't see anything, and he didn't know which direction Owen was in, so he could only slash around frantically.

That's the opportunity that Owen was waiting for. He hurried up the ruins, raised his foot and kicked William's sword-wielding wrist, and William's sword flew away. Owen then slapped William's chest with his left palm, and William was pushed off the rubble by the sudden slap. But that wasn't the end of it, as William had just stood up when Owen's double-fist combo had already hit. Dozens of punches in an instant knocked countless holes in the paladin armor made of Mithril alloy, and then Owen struck out both fists sideways at the same time in a "double dragon grabbing the pearl" posture, hitting William's chest and lower abdomen. Under Owen's onslaught, William, who had lost his weapon and had limited vision, had almost no chance to fight back, and was beaten back dozens of steps, and his armor was broken. But Owen didn't intend to give him a chance to breathe, and while William was repulsed, he stepped forward and raised his hand to hit William in the chin with an uppercut that sent William flying up two or three meters. Owen jumped up and swept William in the air with one kick.

Poor William Mano, a paladin, was used as a punching bag by a badly wounded, bare-handed teenager, and his body slammed through the wall of another house, flew into the house, and then broke through the wall on the other side of the house, and rolled several times in succession on the messy street.

"Uh, uh......" William lay on the ground, spurting blood from his mouth, and couldn't get up. Owen's combo made it impossible for him to continue fighting.

Through the two connected humanoid holes in the walls on either side of the house, Owen let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that William could no longer get up. If it weren't for William's loss of mind and his accidental injury, Owen really didn't want to be so heavy on William, facing a powerful paladin, Owen knew that if he made a slight mistake, he might lose his life immediately. Therefore, Owen's only option is to completely cross William and make him completely incapacitated.

But although he succeeded in knocking out William, Owen himself was no better, as soon as he relaxed, he spurted out a mouthful of warm blood, and the untreated wound on his body ruptured, aggravating the injury, and within a radius of several meters, all Owen's blood was mixed with the dirty rain, staining the earth red. However, since the death of the master craftsman, Owen has never been defeated by the predicament, and he has been able to survive the difficult predicament he has experienced before, let alone now? Owen stubbornly maintained his consciousness, he tore a large piece from his clothes, bandaged the wound that penetrated his abdomen and back, and then stood up strongly, and moved towards William step by step.

"I lost. If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. The rain cleared the dust from his eyes, so that William could clearly see that Owen had come to him. He tried to squeeze a disdainful sneer out of his enemies, but he couldn't hide the tears in the corners of his eyes—the shame of defeat and the remorse of failing the Pope's high hopes.

"Nope. Owen said absolutely, "I said a long time ago that there is no reason to fight between you and me. ”

"What is your purpose, but whatever your purpose is, do not want me to betray His Majesty. ”

"Purpose? Didn't I say it a long time ago, my purpose is to let you know the truth. ”

"The truth ......," William looked confused.

At this moment, the voices of the third and fourth people were faintly heard in the sound of the rain.

"Owen ......"

"Owen!"

......

Hearing someone call to him, Owen turned to look, and in the night, he saw two figures, one fat and one thin, running towards him, but apparently the fatter figure was left far behind.

"Dani...... Wait, wait, I'll ......" The panting Cassius could no longer run, he could only stand still, with his hands on his waist, calling for the female swordsman running in front of him.

"It's useless. Dani gave him a blank look, ran back to help the fat magician, and "moved" it step by step.

When the three of them got together, Owen's eyes fell on Dani, "Why are you here?"

"It's not just Dani, Joika and Ray are here too. The two of them entered the city one step earlier, and now they don't know where they are. Cassius cleared his breath and replied, "That's a long story. What about Sophia? Aren't you with her?"

"Sophia took the civilians and took refuge. Uh......" Speaking of this, Owen only felt a sweet throat and spurted out a small mouthful of bloody phlegm.

It was only then that Cassius noticed Owen's serious injuries and exclaimed, "Oh my God, how could you be hurt like this? As Cassius spoke, the water elemental gathered in his hand, forming frozen ice cubes that covered Owen's wounds. "I've run out of healing potions, and now I can only freeze your wounds and stop the bleeding from continuing for the time being. The only way to heal your injuries is to find Sophia. Cassius said earnestly.

"That's all there is to it. Owen smiled wryly.

While they were talking, Dani noticed William lying on the ground, she covered her mouth with her hand, revealing a very disbelieving **, and then, a look of surprise crawled all over her face: "Old, teacher...... Teacher William, you, you're still alive......"

"Who are you?" William looked at the girl who was looking at him with excited eyes and tears streaming down her eyes, and thought that her appearance was familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen her.

"Teacher William!" Dani is a reckless girl, she never deliberately restrains her feelings, just like a little girl who lies on her father's lap and is coquettish, lying on William, howling and crying, "Teacher William, Teacher William...... Dani misses you so much, Dani still thinks, thinks...... I'll never see you again......"

Dany's words made William feel like an electric shock, and the messy memories clashed in his mind again.

"This man is Dany's teacher!Wasn't he killed by the Central Church?" Danius's reaction also stunned Cassius, who saw Owen fighting this man in the distance, but never expected it to be a "dead" person. Now after Dani said this, Cassius suddenly felt that this man's appearance was somewhat familiar, after all, 13 years ago, several surviving friends in Serre Village had a relationship with this knight.

"Be careful, Dani. Owen reminded, "William's memory has been altered by the Holy See, and he no longer recognizes you, and he is no longer the person you are familiar with. ”

"No, Mr. William raised me from a young age, taught me culture, taught me swordsmanship, and treated me like his own father, no matter what he became, Mr. William will always be Mr. William!" Dani replied loudly, burying her face in William's body and weeping uncontrollably.

"Little girl......" William didn't know what to say, he could feel that Dany's feelings were sincere, not the slightest false. Which of the past in his memory is true, or the past that Owen expounds? William wavered. He told himself to be strong-willed and not to be deceived by his enemies, but he never hardened his heart to push away the weeping girl who was lying on top of him.

However, the excitement and joy of the reunion was short-lived. A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen.

"Oh...... Woowoowoooooooo......oo

All around the holy city, a desolate wolf howl like a ghost suddenly sounded, one after another, continuously, and in the darkness, it was like the screaming of thousands of unjust souls, which was terrifying.

"What's going on? How can there be wolf howls in the city?" Cassius shuddered in fright, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Owen's expression was solemn, and the sudden wolf howl made him shudder, and at this moment, something fell out of Owen's pocket.

That's a dozen old tarot cards.

When Owen bent down to pick it up, he carefully found that these tarot cards that "accidentally" fell to the ground seemed to be just enough to form a divination deck.

"Cards of Fate, what exactly do you want to sue me?" When Owen arranged the cards on the ground one by one, suddenly, the look on his face froze: "This is...... Ah, not good!"

Before Cassius could figure out what was happening, Owen had already rushed out like an arrow, and he didn't even have time to explain to his companions, leaving only one sentence when he drifted away: "Sophia is in danger, wait for me to come back!"

The inverted "justice" is carried by the "chariot" driven by the "upside-down man", only the "pope" and the "world" are left above the "tower", the "priestess" is surrounded by "moderation" and "demons", the "sun" has already set, but the "moon" does not dare to rise, and the gap between the two is filled only by the lonely "lover".

This is a bad omen!
