"Are there any guards there?" said Goodwin.
" No, we didn't know that the Blasphemer would attack at this time…We have to inform the Oracle…It's too late…" Regina was about to cry.
"Maybe there's still time." Goodwin looked in the direction of the smoke. "-if I run as fast as I can.”
He was an apostle. An apostle with the Soul Imprint.
" No…If you're too far away from me, you'll be forcefully summoned…"
"Then come with me. Hold on to me." said Goodwin.
He held Regina in his arms and used Soul Imprint to strengthen her endurance and his explosive power. "We're leaving."
He ran like the wind. The scenery of mountains and forests flashed past him like a stream of light.
The wind blew so hard that Regina couldn't open her eyes. She could only curl up in Goodwin's arms and hold his shirt tightly.
He ran for an hour and finally reached the town that was burning with smoke.
"Where is your home?" he asked Regina in his arms.
"My house is not in this town. It's in a small village on the east side of the town.”said Regina.
The cavalrymen of the Blasphemers were wreaking havoc in the town. They screamed and used their scimitars and torches to bring fear to the town. The people scattered in panic.
Goodwin couldn't leave them alone. He put Regina down and walked towards the Blasphemer.
A Blasphemer was throwing a torch at a residential house on the side of the street. The owner of the house was about to escape, but when he saw that his house was about to be set on fire, he cried and ran back to put out the fire.
However, there was no fire. The torch did not light up her home.
The torch was suspended in mid-air about 50 centimeters away from her room.
This was the power of the Weapon Control Seal.
Goodwin pulled out his Lightless Blinking Moment and killed the Blasphemer with one slash. The fire on the torch went out, and the wooden stick fell to the ground.
Another Blasphemer saw Goodwin and shouted at his companion. Goodwin thought they would swarm him, but they scattered in all directions. Goodwin caught up to a Blasphemer and cut it down, but the other Blasphemers scattered and ran far away.
They were alert. Retreat as soon as you see an apostle?
Goodwin returned to Regina's side. "This town is temporarily safe. Let's go to your house and take a look now."
He took Regina out of town. But before they could get far, Regina suddenly shouted. "They're back!"
Goodwin looked back and saw that the town was lit up one after another, and thick smoke was billowing.
He had no choice but to bring Regina back to town. The Blasphemers who returned to town set fires everywhere and killed those who tried to put out the fire. The town was filled with cries, screams, and wails.
Goodwin found a Blasphemer who seemed to be the leader and cut off its head to intimidate the remaining Blasphemers. The Blasphemers were clearly frightened, and they fled with strange cries.
At this moment, the town had already been burned to the ground. The townspeople cried and cried, saying that their families were still trapped in the burning houses. So Goodwin shuttled through the buildings to rescue the children and the elderly trapped in the fire. Regina couldn't help, so she helped the others carry water to put out the fire.
Fortunately, Goodwin was agile and quickly rescued everyone. However, the operation to extinguish the fire did not go well and could not effectively contain the fire. At least half of the townspeople's homes and property would be destroyed by the fire, and it would probably take a few more hours to completely put out the fire.
"Ah!" Regina accidentally knocked over the bucket. She cried.
It was indeed annoying to knock over the bucket when the fire was urgent, but it was not enough to cry. Goodwin could tell that she was anxious and distracted. She was worried about her family.
"Let's go back to your house first.”Goodwin took her hand.
"But this place…"
"We won't be able to finish this in a short time. We'll go back to your house first and come back if there's nothing else.”said Goodwin. He did not have much time left.
"Then I'll have to trouble you…"
"You're welcome."
Goodwin refilled his Soul Imprint and ran out of town with Regina in his arms. As soon as they left the town, Regina shouted again,"It's Blasphemer! They're back!"
This group of Blasphemers was not stupid. They perfectly implemented the harassment tactic of " I'll run if you fight, and I'll fight if you run ". Unfortunately, Goodwin couldn't split it into eight parts. Now, he just wanted to curse.
There was no time.
…What if the Blasphemer didn't just attack this town?
This time, Goodwin didn't turn back and continued running toward Regina's village.
"Lord Goodwin! Go back quickly! Blasphemer is attacking the town again!"
"You'll never get home like this.”said Goodwin. "You have to protect your family first before you consider other people's matters.”
"But…"
"We won't take too long. Trust me."
Reality proved that Goodwin was right. Regina's village was also attacked by the Blasphemers. However, they came in time. The Blasphemer had just started setting fire and had not caused a disaster.
After Goodwin killed two Blasphemers, the others retreated. Of course, everyone knew that they would return very soon.
"Regina, my time is almost up.”Goodwin told Regina. "Once I disappear, summon me back immediately.”
Regina's face showed panic. " But…I'm sorry…I can't do it…"
"What are you talking about? During the last exam, didn't you summon me out very quickly after you counter-summoned me?”
" That time…That time, it was because you didn't stay for long before the counter-summoning…The magic power I stored could only support you for three hours at most…"
So it's your magic power that limits my movement time! You should have said so earlier!
Goodwin's body had already started to turn transparent.
As for the Blasphemer who had just escaped, he was not far away, quietly watching as Goodwin's figure faded away. They seemed to understand the principle of summoning very well.
"Regina, take your family and run!”Goodwin called out to Regina.
But it was too late. The Blasphemers had returned.
They howled and roared, waving their scimitars and torches.
Goodwin wanted to raise his sword, but he only managed to lift a bunch of bubbles.
The lightsaber became a bubble, and so did he.
These bubbles and the surrounding scenery revolved around him. As they spun, they turned into one, and it was impossible to tell them apart. In the high-speed spinning ring, Goodwin saw a smear of red.
The red color made his heart stop beating for a second.
Thus, the scenery stopped spinning. He saw a long-haired man among the blurry crowd. He had the wrinkles of an old man, the eyes of a child, the face of a man, and the lips of a woman. That person was smiling at him.
Then, he felt something being stuffed into his hand.
Time flowed, and the world changed.
Goodwin was startled awake.
He realized that he was still in another world. His soul did not return to Gu Tu's body.
What…was going on?
There was no time to think. The Blasphemer had returned. They were plundering. They were burning.
"Stop!" Goodwin drew his sword.
The Blasphemers didn't expect Goodwin to return, so they didn't retreat in time. Goodwin killed more than ten Blasphemers in a row. The leader of the Blasphemers was angered by Goodwin. Perhaps his relatives and friends were among the dead Blasphemers. It drew its sword and charged at Goodwin.
Goodwin swung his sword at its head. It lowered its head and dodged. Goodwin stabbed its heart again, and it dodged. Oh, this Blasphemer seemed to be more powerful than the others.
Goodwin slashed out for the third time, and Blasphemer swung his sword to meet it. Its sword was pitch-black with golden patterns. Perhaps it was protected by magic power, but it was not cut by Goodwin's light sword.
The swords crossed, and the two instantly attacked and defended more than ten times. However, the Blasphemer was still inferior in terms of strength. With a flick of his lightsaber, Goodwin sent the Blasphemer's enchanted black sword flying before he knocked it unconscious with another punch. The other Blasphemers wanted to save their leader, so they swarmed forward. However, this was the worst tactic. Goodwin swung his sword horizontally and killed all the Blasphemers.
He had defeated the Blasphemer's team. However, this battle could not be considered a victory.
The village was badly damaged, and the crops that had not yet been harvested were destroyed. The villagers were destined to live through a bitter winter, if not the last winter of their lives.
Goodwin finally saw Regina's family. However, he did not want it to be in this form.
Her house was burnt down and her father's leg was broken. Fortunately, he survived. Regina's youngest brother was crying in her arms.
"The shoes that Sister bought are burnt!" The boy sobbed.
The boy had been looking forward to a new pair of shoes without holes so that he would not be laughed at when he went to the next town. This wish lasted for five years, until Regina used her first salary after becoming a nun to fulfill his wish. But now, this pair of shoes that he had only worn once had completely rotted into charcoal.
"It's okay. I can still buy it for you.”Regina consoled him.
The leader of the Blasphemer did not die. The villagers tied it to a piece of wood in the middle of the village and began to torture it. First, they threw stones at it and whipped it. However, this could not make up for the years of savings they had lost in the fire. So they began to cut its flesh with knives.
Goodwin did not stop them. No one was qualified to stop them.
He thought that the Blasphemer's leader would cry or beg for mercy. However, it was only cursing in a language that he could not understand. It was cursing passionately and righteously, as if it could forget the pain in its body as long as it was satisfied.
Regina watched as the villagers abused the Blasphemer, while Goodwin watched her. Would she stop them or join them?
She did not stop them, nor did she join them. She stared at Blasphemer for a while before leaving. So she was such a person.
Goodwin still hadn't disappeared. He found himself holding a card.
Where did this card come from? Why am I holding it?
It was a black card. The lower half of a woman's face was drawn on the card. Her red lips were like fire, burning quietly in the dark night. He had seen this card before in a cafe.
"This card has no name. It represents whatever you see it to be.”The voice echoed in his ears.
Goodwin flipped the card over. There was a line of text on the back of the card:
"In this world, you still have an unfinished mission.”
Then, the card started burning, but it was not hot.
It turned into smoke in the black flames and disappeared into thin air.
