Chapter 80: What I Want to Know
() The southern part of the holy city, the flames are monstrous. The sacred flame from heaven cannot be extinguished by ordinary rain in this world.
The Eight Sages, the bat queen Melissa, who symbolizes the spirit of "duty", pierced a wrist-sized hole from her stomach to her back, and the muscles and internal organs around the wound were burned to a charcoal, drowning on the ruins.
As early as the beginning of her arrow, the vampires around her, with the cry of "protect Mistress Melissa", rushed towards the powerful enemy who stood tall above - Cardinal Gerabino, who fused with the "Flame Angel". However, the disparity in strength and attributes are compatible, so that no matter how heroic the attack is, it is only a lamp to put out the fire. Every time Herabenor pulled the bowstring of the Divine Fire Bow, a vampire was pierced by the Divine Fire Arrow. It didn't take long for Melissa to lead the few dozen remaining subordinates, all of whom had been reduced to ashes.
The heroic actions of his subordinates only bought Melissa a few minutes. Her spine had been destroyed, and the flame had robbed her of all her magic and body, and she couldn't even move a finger now. Through the ultrasound of the bat, when she realized that there was no one around her, Melissa knew that her time had come, and when the Divine Fire Arrow aimed at her again, she calmly closed her already blind eyes, waiting for the final moment to come......
"Flutter ......"
The pain of the flame's body did not appear, but Melissa felt as if her body was being lifted by an external force, moving rapidly, her frozen body touching the body temperature of the living person who had not been seen for a long time, and the sound of gasping echoed in her ears. A sturdy young human man held her in his arms and leaped quickly between the burning ruins, the Divine Fire Arrow striking the ground behind them, causing a series of small explosions, but the man was so strong that he was always able to dodge before the Divine Fire Arrow hit him.
"Didn't expect it to be you?" Even if she couldn't see it, Melissa knew who the young man who had saved her at the last moment, and although his appearance was unexpected, she was strangely not surprised.
"I'm not going to let you die. Ray responded briefly as he jumped to dodge the Divine Fire Arrow.
"You don't seem to have a reason to save me. Melissa struggled to squeeze out a wry smile.
"It's up to you. Ray replied firmly, "I've lost an important past, and you seem to know a lot about me." You're going to live anyway until you tell me what I want to know!"
Although he has been reincarnated for a lifetime, his personality is still the same, always doing his own thing, making people angry, what a damn guy. Melissa cursed inwardly with a smile.
Ray acts alongside Joyka, and his presence here means that Joyka won't be very far away. At this time, Joyka is hiding behind a broken wall, drawing her bow and arrows to aim at the "Flame Angel" in the sky. Although he couldn't figure out why Ray would help the vampire who almost killed them, since Ray had already made a move, there was no need to go into the reasoning. And Joika had long seen that the Central Church was not pleasing to the eye, and he was more eager to beat those hypocrites than to be enemies of the vampire clan, and now that the opportunity was in front of him, why not?
Seeing that Ray had a tacit understanding to distract Hrabino's attention, a sneer hung on Joika's lips. The Mithril alloy longbow emitted a faint yellow glow, which was an elemental reaction caused by the gathering of qi elements attracted to the longbow, and a topaz was set in one of the grooves of the longbow. It was a farewell gift from Regunor a few months ago when he set out on a crusade against the demon Satan Mephistopheles. Although Joyka's longbow itself has the ability to absorb the qi element, Joyka herself does not know how to control the element, so she needs such a treasure to assist. With the help of Topaz, the longbow not only absorbed the air element at a much faster rate, but also gathered the energy of the air element to the arrow exactly according to Joyka's wishes.
The longbow absorbed more and more qi elements, and the elemental fluctuations produced had already attracted the attention of Herabeno, and he immediately turned his gaze to Joika's hideout, but even if it was discovered now, it didn't matter, because the qi elements absorbed by the longbow were enough.
"Die, birdman!"
Joyka let go of her bowstring with a "boom", and the sharp arrow wrapped in a strong wind and swooped down on the flaming angel in the sky!
At the same time, the Divine Fire Arrow was also launched at Joyka.
The Arrows of Flame and the Arrows of the Storm meet in the air, and the two magical energies of fire and wind cancel each other out. The Divine Fire Arrow, which was composed purely of energy, disappeared immediately, but the Storm Arrow fired by Joyka had a physical core, and after the wind attached to the surface dissipated, the wooden arrow without any elemental attributes continued to pounce on the target.
"Whew"!
The sharp arrow accurately hit Herabeno's body, and the simple physical attack did not cause much damage to the angel's physique, and the arrow was quickly burned by the flames surrounding Herabeno's body, and the small arrow wound was quickly healed under the divine power.
"Shit!" Joyka cursed, and he immediately took his longbow and fled from the broken wall where he was hiding.
Less than a second after he left, a continuous rain of rockets had engulfed the broken wall and the ruins of the nearby rooms.
Just as Hrabino was concentrating on attacking Joyka, a steel gun was thrown from behind and pierced his left calf. The power of the thunder throwing gun is extremely strong, and even if it is more than 200 meters apart, it can still accurately hit the target. Steel spears made of stainless steel didn't burn as easily as arrows made of wood, and the Flame Angel was so upset that he was wounded by a human because he was so light, he howled loudly, turned around, drew his bow and shot at the thunder. But as soon as he turned around, Joyka, who had escaped from the crisis, immediately fought back, and all six or seven arrows fired in a row were nailed to the back of the Flame Angel.
Although using "Saint Martyrdom" to summon angels can temporarily transform a human body into an angel's physique, it is also limited by the magic of the summoner itself. Whether attacking an enemy or healing oneself, it consumes a lot of the summoner's mana, and when the mana is exhausted, the angel who was forcibly fused will separate from the summoner and return to the original world. Joyka and Ray flanked and dragged the formidable foe along. Even the cardinal's magic power could not withstand the consumption of that kind of chengdù, and finally Hrabano could not hold on anymore, and fell from the sky to the ground, and the angelic body gradually disappeared, reverting to the original human mortal body......
"What tricks are you playing?" Faced with Owen's request for a truce, William did not immediately agree, but asked in an aggressive tone.
But Owen could see that behind William's resolute attitude, it was just to hide his hesitant wavering thoughts. Owen continued to add fuel to the fire: "Then I want to ask you, why are you in Holy Papal Island? Why do you follow the Pope's orders? Why do you feel familiar with what I just said? Do you really know everything about yourself? Don't you have what you want to know?"
"What do I want to know?" Hearing Owen say this, William realized that he did have a lot of things to know, the most important of which was about the "past".
In William's "memory", after graduating from paladin training, he stayed in the Templar Order, and participated in dozens of battles against evil, large and small, but since twelve years ago, he no longer attended, but stayed in Holy Pope Island, and never left, but he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the outside world, and every time he saw a map of the world of Olopa, he could always think of the scenery of that place in his mind when he was staring at a corner of the map, as if he had traveled around the world. What puzzled William even more was that during his twelve years in St. Pope's Island, the memories of each day were almost the same, as if they had been reproduced in the same mold. Even if he lives a boring life day after day, there are always a few things that impress him, right? Subconsciously, William was always aware that he had done very important things and had deep contact with very important people, but he could never remember what those things were and who those people were.
William had so much to know, but it was as if he was suppressed by some kind of consciousness that did not belong to him, and every time he tried to figure it out, he always gave up involuntarily, and yet, the more he suppressed his curiosity, the more he wanted to seek answers. This paradoxical mood finally broke the balance under Owen's psychological hints and inducements.
"What the hell do you know?" William's tone remained tough, but his tone began to soften.
This is a good sign. Owen smiled and said to William, "Let's start with the name 'Putnnin McMahon'." Don't you have the slightest feeling for the name?"
Puternin ...... Putnnin McMahon?" William repeated the familiar and unfamiliar name, and in his mind's mind, a familiar and indistinct figure gradually emerged.
Owen is not just a simple verbal inducement, when William is not paying attention, he quietly releases telekinesis that affects William's brain waves, allowing him to reproduce the image of "Patnin McMahon".
一qiē looks quite smooth, but ......
"Wow! wow...... Ahhh......h
Without warning, William suddenly howled loudly, and with a pained expression, he fell to his knees with his head in his hands.
In order to avoid mental shock, Owen hurriedly interrupted the telekinetic connection.
"Self-defense mechanism!" Owen immediately realized what was going on. The magic that brainwashed William did not simply tamper with his memories, but automatically reacted aggressively when the magic was at risk of being dissolved due to the influence of an external force. Owen rushed towards William with a "whoop", stopping the brainwashing magic's self-defense mechanism before it could cause more damage to the caster's body.
Although his consciousness was in a state of involuntary control, his years of combat experience had developed muscle memory, which allowed William to raise his shield against the oncoming attack while Owen rushed in front of him. Owen slapped one hand on the round shield, using the mental power he had just learned, destroying the internal atomic structure of the round shield, and the hard round shield shattered in an instant.
Losing the protection of the round shield, William raised his right hand holding the sword and swept it towards Owen's waist. Owen reached out his left hand and grabbed his right wrist in time, causing the sword to stop in the air. Owen's right hand did not stop after shattering the round shield, and pressed it against William's head in the form of a claw.
"Calm down!" exclaimed Owen.
