Goodwin arrived at the border between the Empire's territory and the Land of God Punishment. He was wandering on the boundary, not knowing where he should go.
Until the orange-red light of the sunrise broke through the night and illuminated his face.
He could see from afar that a troop of soldiers from the Empire was coming over triumphantly. They were escorting a large number of defeated " original people." The captives were all tied up, unable to move their limbs, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth to prevent them from chanting magic.
Goodwin could cast magic without chanting. However, this was the privilege of the apostles. As mortals, the " original people " obviously couldn't do it. They were already fish on the chopping block.
"As long as the war continues, we will always have Blasphemers to use.”-- The despicable man in the basement had said it truthfully.
Therefore, these captives were used as fuel. They would be sent to the stinking research institute under King's Town.
"…In this Demon Extermination Battle, all the Blasphemers captured will be sent here.”
The purpose of the Demon Extermination Battle was not to expel those who did not respect God, but to obtain fuel. The Imperium could be great forever on the flames of the 'fuel'.
The world had gone crazy. Goodwin thought. Although the world he was in was not much better.
For a moment, he wanted to rush out and cut off the shackles on the bat-faced First Born, allowing them to regain their freedom.
However, he did not want to become enemies with the Empire's army. After all, they were once his comrades. It was neither moral nor wise to fight them. Moreover, even if these captives were released, this cruel world would not change. This was not his war, and he should not have participated in it.
He could only leave.
The imperial army continued to advance, and nothing could stop it.
The soldiers walked briskly, laughing and talking about the military achievements they had accumulated in this battle, scolding the prisoners who were glaring at them. What they did not know was that not far away, in a place where they could not see, there was a pair of eyes watching them.
It watched them silently until the flames of anger ignited everything.
“‘Buuwjiisdell'。”A hoarse voice sounded.
This was the Filthy Dolphin Language, meaning: "Black Iron Snake."
A streak of pitch-black flames swept across the vast land and headed straight for the empire's army.
Immersed in the afterglow of victory, the Empire's soldiers did not expect to be attacked on their own land. They didn't have time to defend themselves and fled. The pitch-black flames exploded. The soldiers who couldn't dodge in time were burned to ashes by the black flames. Within the flames, slender figures in black helmets, black armor, and black spears stood proudly.
She was the clear sky. A warrior of the Darklight Race. The unforgivable First People.
"Return my compatriots!" She roared in Filthy Dolphin Language.
"It's only one person. Kill it!”The captain immediately ordered the soldiers to surround her.
However, at this moment, a strong wind blew. A beast with a snake's head and a beast's body rushed over and charged into the dynasty's army formation, planning the formation that the soldiers had just set up.
Then, a beast with a snake's head and a beast's body dashed away and followed her into the dynasty's army formation.
Clear Sky brandished her spear and swung it in an arc, throwing away the soldiers surrounding her with brute force. Then, she stabbed five times and took five lives. Since the net was broken, she ran straight for the prison carriage. Although there were layers of defense in front of her, ordinary soldiers were no match for her.
However, there were also experts in the Empire Formation. A knight with two swords in silver armor stood in front of her. He easily blocked her swift spear and forced her to retreat with a dazzling attack. The spear was the king of weapons, but its attack frequency was far inferior to the dual swords. It was at a disadvantage in close combat.
Seeing that Qing Kong was having a hard time defending, the other soldiers surrounded him again.
"Snake blood splattered everywhere." the clear sky whispers in secret.
Then, her body suddenly emitted a black light, causing a black explosion. The soldiers were sent flying again.
After seeing the miserable state of their companions, the soldiers hesitated whether they should approach her. The silver-armored knight was bold and took the lead to charge at her.
And she had already finished a new round of chanting.
"Filthy black soil."
The mud figure crawled out of the ground and squirmed toward the silver-armored knight. The silver-armored knight wanted to split them apart, but his sword was stuck to his body. Just as he was hesitating whether he should pull the sword out with more strength or just throw it away, Clear Sky had already stabbed him in the heart.
However, the silver-armored knights were not the only experts in this troop.
A red-armored knight and a black-armored knight attacked Qing Kong from the left and right. The red-armored knight's spear tip carried fire, while the black-armored knight's saber was like an afterimage. They were both people who were good at using magic. Qing Kong could only put away his spear and focus on dealing with these two people. At this moment, the silver-armored knight finally made up his mind to " just throw away the sword ". He found two swords from the other soldiers and charged back.
The three knights surrounded Clear Sky, making her unable to chant. At this moment, the captain suddenly descended from above and smashed his hammer on Qing Kong's head. Qing Kong's head was fine, but his armor was shattered. -- Her body had not fully recovered, and the strength of her magic armor was not as strong as before.
"So it's a girl?" The silver-armored knight whistled. "This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful Blasphemer.”
"Tie her up." The captain ordered.
At this moment, the Rebel Beast also let out a roar. It was slashed to the ground by the soldiers and locked up with heavy chains.
"You want to be enemies with the Imperium's army?”The red-armored knight mocked in a shrill voice. "You overestimate yourself."
"It just so happens that it has increased our spoils of war.”The black armored knight said. "The Oracle has specifically instructed us not to kill him if we can capture him alive. Those captured alive would be rewarded with five times the battle points and five times the reward.”
The Original People weren't captives. They were just spoils of war that were sent to the town.
Contrary to what was expected, the beast would be made into a Holy Demon's medicine. And Clear Sky would be used as a tool to breed " fuel ", forever locked in a dark basement until the rest of his life was exhausted.
"The Oracle only said that he wanted them alive.”The silver-armored knight pinched Qing Kong's chin and scrutinized her appearance. "As long as we don't kill them, it doesn't matter how we deal with them, right?”
"…It does." A deep voice said.
The knights looked at the sky together. Because the voice came from above.
"... Lightless Shining Moment!"
The light was like a gift from the gods, pouring down from the sky. Before the silver-armored knight could identify what the light was, he was cut into two.
A human figure that was flickering with incandescent light stood proudly on the ground. At this moment, it was more dazzling than anything else in the world.
"This light…is an apostle? Why would the apostles of the gods be enemies with us?”The captain was confused. "You are…Lord Goodwin?"
"To be honest, I'm not an apostle of any god.”Goodwin walked towards the clear sky. "I'm just a summoned creature. I've never seen a god before.”
He used the light of his sword to cut open the rope that bound her and also freed the beast with the snake's head.
"I haven't seen you for a few days.”He laughed at Qing Kong.
"…How did you find me?" Qing Kong stood up.
"I smell your magic aura."
"…Are you a dog?"
"Perhaps. But I'm no longer prepared to be the Empire's dog.”
"Goodwin has betrayed us! He's colluding with the Blasphemer!" The red-armored knight seemed to have discovered a new continent. He screamed happily, completely unaware that Qing Kong had already arrived behind him, and he had a gun in his hand.
Clear Sky stabbed his spear at his back. However, the red-armored knight had been through hundreds of battles, so he dodged the attack almost instinctively.
"Do you think you can kill me?”He turned around and shouted at Clear Sky, his voice rising another octave.
But he forgot about Goodwin behind him.
Goodwin chopped off his head with his sword. "Don't shout during the battle.”
"All troops, listen up! Kill the traitor Goodwin!”The captain shouted.
"Can you still fight?" Goodwin asked Clear Sky.
The black-armored knight stabbed the back of Goodwin's neck. However, the headless corpse of the red-armored knight stood up and blocked the blade for him.
"Warriors of the Darklight Race can fight as long as they can move a finger.”Qing Kong said.
"That's good. I can give you a strengthening spell.”said Goodwin.
The captain swung his sword at Goodwin's side. However, the left and right halves of the silver-armored knight's body also stood up and blocked the captain together.
"I'm a dark body, I can't use your light magic.”Qing Kong said.
"This is a soul-type spell, not a light-type spell.”said Goodwin. "It just looks bright."
The archers drew their bows and shot arrows at Goodwin and Clear Sky.
The soldiers who had been killed by Qing Kong stood up and formed a wall with their bodies to block the arrows.
Goodwin had used Soul Imprint to strengthen Clear Sky and the Beast of Rebel. The two humans and one beast worked together to kill the empire's army.
"How do you feel?" Goodwin asked Clear Sky.
"I feel like I can fight another 10,000 people.”Qing Kong said.
"Very good." said Goodwin. "Then, let's run away now!”
