Chapter 14: Your Next Word...... (Ask for follow-up)
The two swords clashed again, and Joshua gathered most of the Cleansing Flame in his hands, although they were evenly matched for a short time, but he understood that a protracted battle was definitely not good.
"Lilith, get out of here with these children, and I'll help you break off."
Joshua knew that the person in front of him was very strong, and he might not be a match for the magic and a magic master, but there were many children who had been abducted, and only Lilith, who was a magician, could easily take them out.
"Wait until I get back."
Lilith understood what Joshua meant, so she naturally did not hesitate, and directly used the feather fall technique and the wind riding technique to prop up a dozen children and go towards the other exit of the mine.
After all, using magic to explore the mines wasn't something Joshua thought of alone.
Where there is wind, there is an exit, and Lilith is very fast to take the children away, but Joshua understands that he probably can't wait for Lilith to come back to help.
"Although I don't know what method you used, but your essence does not have any fighting spirit and magic power, and the mark of the god is just a recitation, but it is very interesting to be able to burst out with such power."
The hoarse voice of the black-robed man came, and the strong fighting spirit was directly attached to the weapon, and Joshua was immediately suppressed.
Joshua understood that this was the case.
Although he had learned Father Andrew's swordsmanship, it was only the first time he had used it in actual combat today, and the power he was now bursting out of was nothing more than a fire cooking oil that could not last.
Once the power of original sin is exhausted, the end result is nothing more than a peaceful face of death.
[If the battle is a simple panel competition, then Joshua at this time can directly make a French military salute, but the characteristics of strength can often change the situation on the battlefield. 】
The characteristics of strength.
Joshua muttered this sentence silently, this was obviously not talking about the power of forgiveness, after all, he had already used it to the limit at this time, so this power was ......
"Huh?"
The black-robed man felt that the power of the block was light, and the long sword in his hand actually passed directly through Joshua's Cangyan sword, and this stunned kung fu Joshua had already dodged the blow, and a sword slashed into the black-robed man's chest.
"Boom~"
The power of the sword directly slashed the enemy away, and Joshua seemed to have consumed a lot, and the long sword in his hand directly maintained its insufficient form and scattered into flames.
"There is a limit to the power of the mighty pseudo-god, and the fact that you can't hurt me is the best proof of this."
The black-robed man walked down from the wall, not looking at the recess of the figure behind him, but sneering at the stubborn flame in his chest that refused to be extinguished.
"Is that so?"
Joshua asked rhetorically, and in the next moment, the original sin that he had compressed in that wisp of cleansing flame directly erupted.
Cang Yan, who was originally crumbling, exploded and wrapped the black-robed man's entire person.
"Damn, you believer in false gods, you are as cunning as your gods."
Although the black-robed man used his fighting energy to protect his body for the first time, the sin cleansing flame was still burning, and the sins on his body were much deeper than those traffickers, and the pain was several times that of them.
Even if it is difficult for the sin cleansing cangyan to break through the fighting qi and inflict a heavy blow on it, this pain will definitely not be less.
For the menacing Fire Man, Joshua decides...... Moistening.
Although the momentum of Cangyan in Joshua's hand has weakened a lot, there is still a large amount of Cangyan spreading into the mine, which is like a map engraved in Joshua's mind.
On the other hand, the black-robed man could only endure the pain and follow closely, and he was not familiar with the terrain here at all.
This man and the Predator Brotherhood don't act together, so they're not familiar with the environment.
Joshua made a judgment as to how to deal with this man...... Although he had ideas, he didn't know if there were such conditions.
Joshua looked at the exit not far away, and at the same time poked the Purifying Flame towards the depths of the southwest, where the smell told him where the key to victory was. 】
It really helped.
Joshua spread the scattered flame shrinkage to the southwest, where he should have what he wanted, and he came to the exit of another mine.
"At Lilith's speed, I should have left, so let's bury you."
The power of forgiveness is actually a bit overwhelming, fear, anger, and murderous intent...... The negative emotions returned, but Joshua knew he couldn't back down.
The last power of original sin was used to strengthen the five senses, and in the face of the head-on sword, Joshua dodged and moved so that the other party could not take him for a while.
The space in the mine is too small, and it has not been abandoned for many years, and once the black-robed man uses extremely lethal magic or sword skills, the final result is just to die in the mine with Joshua.
Thanks to this, Joshua had a little respite, but ......
"Joshua, these fires really hurt me, but you ......"
With the consumption of the power of original sin, the sin cleansing cangyan on the black-robed person was shattered by the powerful fighting qi, which gave the black-robed man a little respite.
A slight uneasiness surrounded him, why......
"Your next sentence is, 'But you're all at the exit, why don't you keep running?' Right. ”
Joshua laughed as if he had seen through the black-robed man's thoughts.
"If I escape, how can I kill you?"
Joshua's senses were strengthened and his physical fitness was improved again, and he threw punches.
"Boom~"
This punch did not hit the black-robed man, but hit the pillars of the mine, and then broke all the pillars along the way as he retreated.
Even such an attack would have caused a heavy blow to his unexercised arm.
"You want to trap me here? This mine is more than just an exit. ”
The black-robed man continued to chase and kill Joshua, but this time Joshua carried it head-on, thinking about the skills that Andre had taught him, regardless of the possible injuries to his body, he continued to block the black-robed man's footsteps.
Blood stains appeared on Joshua's body.
"Bang~"
The pillars finally couldn't withstand the damage and the weight, and the mine gradually became unstable, while many rocks fell between the two to interrupt the rhythm of the battle.
"It's useless to plug a gap, as long as I ......"
"Other exits? You don't have a chance. ”
Joshua lit a pinch of sin in the palm of his hand, and then the black-robed man looked at the ground as if he had thought of something.
The pale blue trace has never been broken, and what is the other end of the cangyan?
"Do you know what biogas is?"
At this moment, Joshua changed the nature of the sin purifier, no longer focusing on murder, but burning the last original sin and sending out a high temperature.
This high temperature is enough to ignite the biogas inside the mine, and then ......
"Boom~"
A series of explosions rang out from the depths of the mine, and the black-robed men were completely overwhelmed, even the iron-blooded Brotherhood idiots wouldn't put explosives in the mines.
But the most important thing now is to leave, but will Joshua let him go?
The explosions in the mine continued one after another, crumbling the already crumbling mine, and Joshua's vulnerability was even more visible in the eyes of Joshua, who had extremely sharp senses.
Constantly attacking the weak points of the mine, and then countless rocks fell to bury the passage, and cut off the way of the black-robed people.
"Joshua~~"
A hoarse howl came, and Joshua turned a deaf ear, and when he had done everything he left without looking back, lest he be buried with the black-robed man.
The sound of the explosion was getting closer and closer, directly submerging the black-robed man, and countless rubble slashed through Joshua's side, and the sense of urgency made Joshua speed up.
Finally, at the moment of the collapse of the mine, with the smoke and debris in the final moments of the mine collapse, Joshua left the mine with a gust of impact.
"Ahem~ It hurts."
After the crisis was resolved, Joshua had more time to look at his injuries, and his hands, which had not cultivated his fighting spirit, were scarred by the destruction of the pillars of the mine.
Forcing one's physical body to confront an unfathomable powerhouse also caused a strong load, and I am afraid that a few bones have been broken at this time.
[Even though Joshua left the mine, there was still a slight explosion sound coming from inside, if an ordinary person was already dead in this situation, but that was only for ordinary people. 】
What do you mean? Is that guy still alive?
Joshua struggled to his feet from the ground and watched the cave subside, until no one came out of it when Lilith arrived.
Did you escape in some other way?
……
"Ahem~ I really didn't expect that the narrow place in the mine cave would limit my play."
In a deserted forest, the black-robed man emerged directly from the shadows, and he didn't seem to be seriously injured, but the black-robed man was covered in dust and mess.
"So embarrassed? The executive of the Blood Church doesn't seem to live up to his name. ”
A playful tease is heard, and a muscular man walks by with a tattoo on his arm that symbolizes the Iron Brotherhood.
"Oh? Something went wrong with your people, and you still have the face to mock me in the end. ”
The black-robed man didn't care so much, but what made him care about something else.
"The girl named Jessica didn't stay?"
The strong man put away his joking look, he didn't expect that the person in front of him wouldn't even be able to bring back the little girl.
"That girl named Jessica is the one I found, and she handed it over to me to deal with, after this incident, it is inconvenient for us to move in Black Mountain Town, and you can get the other sacrifices from somewhere else."
The black-robed man's words made the strong man frown, although Black Mountain Town is just a small country town, but there is a holy woman of the Church of Light, once they make a big fuss, their iron-blooded brotherhood may be uprooted like this.
"Skaven, who is called a terrorist, is scared today?"
The black-robed man seemed to sense Skaven's hesitation.
"I'm wondering if it's worth it."
As the leader of the Predator Brotherhood, Skaven is not very powerful, and may survive the encirclement and suppression of various churches, and his own strength and courage are definitely not mediocre.
People who believe in evil gods are not all crazy, and Skaven only goes crazy when it matters most.
"It's definitely worth it, I've been sure that girl is definitely fit to be the body of a god son, so you get the idea, right? Even staking everything you have is a worthwhile gamble. ”
The black-robed man also put away his jokes, and his tone was unusually positive when he talked about Jessica.
"I see, I'll call on the members of the Iron Brotherhood around the Emerald to try to bring enough sacrifices before the dark night."
When it comes to the gods he believes in, Skaven also made a promise that if the black-robed man is not wrong, then everything that costs him is worth it.
But if it's ......
"Rest assured, the Blood Church's punishment is much stricter than your motley organization."
The black-robed man looked at the town of Black Mountain in the distance, and Joshua should have returned to the broken church at this time, and it was a little difficult to take Jessica away from such a situation.
……
Joshua returned to the church with Lilith's support, don't see that he didn't have many external injuries, but there was a lot of bleeding in his internal organs, if Lilith didn't know how to heal, Joshua would not have been in the ICU at this time.
"Then just notify their parents to come and pick up their children."
Joshua was lying in bed, his injuries requiring some time to recuperate, and in the process, Anna went to contact the children's parents, Lilith went to negotiate with the local lord, and Doris had not returned.
"Knock knock~"
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and then it was a little girl with purple hair who pushed the door open.
"What's the matter? Jessica. ”
Joshua looked at the girl who was just out of danger, and was a little worried that what happened today would have an impact on the little girl's physical and mental health.
"I'm sorry, it's because I'm playful and Amy and they got separated, so ......"
Jessica looked at Joshua's injury with self-reproach in her eyes, in her opinion, Joshua was so badly injured that she couldn't get rid of her.
"It doesn't matter, until those traffickers are caught in the net, you stay in the church and don't go out, and we will take care of the rest."
Joshua had already considered keeping the children out for a short time, and at the same time, as the Holy Daughter of Lilith's Church, it was not difficult for the local lord to strengthen the security.
This matter can be regarded as dangerous, and the only thing worth worrying about is the black-robed man who may not be dead.
"I want to learn magic, like a priest, to protect other people when danger comes."
Joshua's figure in the flames is remembered fondly by Jessica, who longs for her own strength to help others, or at least not to be a burden to others.
"Magic?"
Joshua remembered his book of Bonata Mysteries, and now that he had mastered the Om ciphertext, it was time to teach Jessica magic.
After all, this magic book is for Jessica.
"No way?"
Jessica saw that Joshua was still thinking about it and asked a little disappointedly, the tears were already rolling in her eyes, how could this picture of me be pitiful to make Joshua refuse.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about where to start teaching Jessica."
"Really?"
"Really."
After receiving Joshua's affirmative reply, Jessica burst into tears and laughed, if it wasn't for Joshua's injury at this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thrown himself into Joshua's arms.
A child's personality is so fickle.
