On the other side, Flower Lady avoided a ray of holy light. Like a rabbit on the run, she shuttled through the forest, leaving a mess wherever she went.
The followers who were chasing after them kept harassing them and wanted to continue surrounding them, but they realized that they could not catch up with the heretic at all. Instead, the distance between them was constantly being widened.
Sensing the disappearance of the two powerful auras in the distance, Flower Lady frowned.
"Has the victor been decided?" Flower Lady muttered and dodged a ray of holy light. She once again pulled away and ran into the distance.
"No matter who it is, it's a big help. Good luck!”Flower Lady had finally left the attack range, fiercely shaking off those guys.
"That was close. If it wasn't for that person with a strange aura helping to stop the experts of the Roman Church, I would really be in danger today.”
Flower Lady thanked him in her heart and then ran into the distance, gradually disappearing from sight.
When the group of believers saw the heretic disappear from their sight, they lowered their heads in frustration and anger.
"Damn it, the heretic actually escaped. Ah!”
……
Ten minutes had passed since Ling Ling and the Paladin had fallen.
Cough cough!
Ling Ling coughed violently and stood up while enduring the pain.
Putting away the cross pendant, he dragged his broken body towards the Paladin.
At this time, the Holy Knight had already woken up, but his condition was not optimistic. Not only was the wound in front of his chest bleeding, but his entire chest had also dried up. It would probably take a long time for him to recover.
Ling Ling walked in front of him and looked down at him. At this moment, Ling Ling's eyes were filled with confusion. There were some things that he had to ask clearly. Otherwise, he would not be at ease.
"Hey! You clearly have a better method to use. Why do you have to fight me head-on?”Ling Ling asked slowly.
Looking at Ling Ling, who was covered in wounds but did not fall, the Holy Knight suddenly smiled. It was a self-deprecating smile, but it also seemed to be a smile of relief.
"You're really strong! He was clearly a weakling, but he could do this!”He praised Ling Ling from the bottom of his heart. The smile on his face could not be stopped. He smiled again.
"Answer my question. Why do you have to fight me head-on when there are better methods?”Ling Ling continued to ask. He didn't want to win in such a dubious manner.
"Haha!"
Hearing this, the Holy Knight laughed out loud. Even though his wounds were in great pain, he still laughed heartily.
"Why? Why are you still smiling after losing? You're really a strange person!" Ling Ling was puzzled. He sat on the ground and faced the Paladin.
"If you want to know so much, I'll tell you!”He stopped smiling and began to speak seriously.
"Although the cross is the path to heaven, not everyone can cross it.”He stared at the starry sky as if he was praying to the Lord.
"There are some sins that even the Lord won't bear for me!”His laughter turned into sadness, as if he was recalling an unbearable past.
"What kind of sin?" Ling Ling looked up at the starry sky and asked the dying person in front of her.
"I have always been a cautious person. I will never do anything that I am not confident in. This is my creed!”He suddenly forced himself to sit up and looked at Ling Ling.
"It's better for you to lie down!" Ling Ling suggested.
He shook his head and continued," It's precisely because I'm not confident that I'll avoid things that I'm not confident of doing.”
"Five years ago, my partner's priest and I went to kill the evil spirit that was harming the village. The evil spirit was very strong, and I judged that the chances of the two of us working together to kill it were only 40%. So I wanted to leave for safety's sake, but my partner didn't think so. He thought that if we left, the ordinary people in this village would probably suffer. He advised me to stay.”He said in shame.
"In other words, your partner chose to stay behind to fight against the evil spirit, and you left, right?”Ling Ling suddenly asked. He roughly understood why.
"Yes, you guessed half right. I did leave in the end, but it was after he died!”His words were beyond Ling Ling's expectations.
"After death!"
"That's right, after death!" The Paladin nodded, still feeling guilty.
" At that time, I listened to his advice and stayed behind to fight against the evil spirit with him. However, as I said, we had a 40% chance of defeating the evil spirit at most. In the end, we were indeed defeated by the evil spirit as expected. In the end, my partner was prepared to give it his all, but I hesitated because I wasn't confident that I could kill the evil spirit! In order to survive, I did my best to escape, but even now, I still can't forget his final expression. It was the expression of looking at a coward!”Tears suddenly fell from his eyes, and his eyes were blurry. It was as if his partner's last appearance was floating in front of him, and he felt very guilty.
Ling Ling's expression changed. Was this the reason why this Paladin was fighting him to the death?
"Your Excellency Predator, you are someone like him. Even if you are not a match for your opponent, for your beliefs or something important, you will face the difficulties and do your best!”He looked at Ling Ling with admiration.
"That's right. I do have a better way. I'm faster than you. I can chase after the heretic directly instead of fighting you to the death. There's no way you can stop me!”He stared at Ling Ling and told her the truth.
"The moment I realized that you could cut me, I did think of this idea, but I didn't want to run away like before. I also wanted to try something that I wasn't confident of, just like my partner!”
"Cowardice is a sin. My sin killed my partner. If I had fought to the death, who knows who would have won?”As he spoke, he slowly wiped away his tears.
"That's why I fought you to the death just to save myself. Thank you, Sir Predator!”He suddenly bent down, even though his body was in intense pain.
After listening to the story, Ling Ling stood up with difficulty. He smiled and turned to leave. He knew the reason and felt at ease.
Before they left, Ling Ling said something, and the Paladin suddenly teared up.
"You were indeed very brave today. You didn't lose in a battle between real men! I believe your partner won't blame you anymore!”
……
"I admit defeat.”
He kept bending over until he lost sight of Ling Ling.
He had fallen and received salvation!
