The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

In silence, he vented his boundless anger.

Whether it was being lured out of the decaying land by Olina's illusions, or his festering body being repeatedly bombarded with magic on his head.

Even when he was struck by Ryan's Radiant Flame, or even after being corroded by the Lunar Eclipse Spear and having a large hole blasted in his chest, the Calamity Walker's life was never truly threatened.

But now, burned by the flames of karma, he howled madly, retreating repeatedly, twisting his body and rolling on the ground.

Seeing this, the mature woman withdrew her fingers, narrowed her eyes, and hugged Ryan tightly.

Slender, long fingers moved across his body, releasing a gentle magic.

The magic flowed along Ryan's index finger, continuously converging towards the starting point of the magic circuit.

Along the way, it devours, burns, and cleanses all the residue and impurities in the magic circuits...

Once the magic reached its starting point, the mature woman narrowed her eyes slightly, her wandering fingers applying pressure as if giving a massage.

Meanwhile, magic began searching for another path.

The seventh magic circuit.

The way Huiyan expands his magic circuits is through a brutal, forceful collision.

The karmic fire, on the other hand, quietly burned away all the impurities that shouldn't exist within Ryan's body, and then slowly and gently cleared away the blocked circuits.

Throughout the entire process, Ryan did not experience the slightest bit of pain.

Everything happened in silence.

Finally, the blockage in the seventh magic circuit was burned away, and a wisp of black flame appeared on Ryan's seventh finger.

The mature, sophisticated woman left a gentle kiss on Ryan's face before disappearing without a trace.

Ryan finally awoke from the warmth.

His eyes shone like obsidian.

Ryan looked at the quietly flickering black flame in his hand and murmured to himself.

"Karmic Fire..."

"Yan Fei..."

"Is this your magic, and your name?"

After darkness and fire were completely merged, the gentle and all-encompassing flames revealed everything about themselves to Ryan.

He didn't need his own name, the power of fire, or even a trial of magic.

It was as if she had been waiting for Ryan, her true master, for a long time.

It's unclear whether this dark attribute originated from Yvette, or whether it's simply because Yanfei's true nature is like this.

However, before we investigate these matters, there is something more important to do.

That is, to resolve the calamity of the traveler.

but......

The current Calamity Walker doesn't need Ryan to do anything more.

He curled up on the ground in agony, frantically digging at the earth, trying to bury himself in the soil to extinguish the karmic fire burning on his body.

However, he misjudged the power of Karmic Fire once again.

Yanfei told Ryan everything, including what karmic fire was.

Traditionally, darkness is often associated with evil and gloom, implying misfortune and conspiracy.

But in reality, darkness is the gentlest of the seven attributes.

Darkness can encompass all things in the world.

Darkness also nurtures all life in the world.

Whether it's birds in the sky or fish and insects in the sea, their origin lies in that distant and tranquil darkness.

It is no exaggeration to say that darkness is the mother of life.

therefore.

With this power, karmic fire can combine with anything.

Once combined, the karmic fire will not cease until the target is completely incinerated.

Never...

Water cannot extinguish it.

The soil could not possibly cover it up.

The calamity-wielding wanderer kept digging at the ground, but the already rotten and blackened soil, after being tainted by karmic fire, quickly burst into flames.

The more soil the calamity seeker dug, the more intense the surrounding flames became.

The calamity-bringer had almost reached his limit, but the karmic fire showed no sign of stopping.

The steel-like skin rotted from the burns, and beneath it, the flesh, which was completely immune to magic, endured unimaginable pain.

The calamity-traveler cried out in agony once more.

This lamentation is mixed with the sorrow of life facing death.

Countless black particles converged on the Calamity Walker, who planned to unleash the most terrifying magic before his death, devouring all life around him!

However, in the face of raging flames, the black particles are nothing more than fuel to ignite the fire.

As the black particles poured in, the karmic fire grew even more intense.

Everything vanished in silence.

Like moths drawn to a flame, it carries a touch of tragic grandeur.

Finally, after a deafening howl, the Calamity Walker remained kneeling and digging in the earth...

It has disappeared.

Ryan, bathed in the flames of hell, coldly stared at his corpse.

The one who brings disaster is like a defeated person kneeling on the ground, humbly begging for forgiveness.

As the flames of karmic retribution subsided, Ryan walked to the corpse of the Calamity Walker.

To prevent him from coming back to life, Ryan planned to use magic to turn him into dust.

But just then, a gust of wind blew from behind.

"That handsome guy over there!"

"stop it now!"

Ryan paused in his movements and looked in the direction of the sound.

Elsa, with her blonde hair and long, wavy hair, looked excitedly at Ryan... or more precisely, at the corpse of the Calamity Walker beside him.

"you are?"

Ryan's tone was icy, and the karmic fire burned once more in his palm.

Elsa pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, brushed the dust off her black thermal stockings, and spoke in a rather flippant tone.

"Hey handsome, I think you're the first one to see me."

"Let me introduce myself first."

"Barbie Elsa, leader of the Star Knights, affiliated with the Church of Bysma."

"You can call me Barbie, or Elsa, whatever you like."

The leader of the Star Knights?!

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly.

As far as he knew, the Knights of the Stars never left the Holy See. From the leader to the members, they were all eccentric individuals whose minds were filled with nothing but experiments and the unknown, somewhere between geniuses and madmen.

So, why would the leader of the Star Knights appear here at this time?

"I imagine you must have a lot of questions."

"You can hear my explanation anytime, but before that, please allow me to investigate the thing behind you."

"That thing is of great significance to both me and the Vatican."

"If my conclusion is correct, then this discovery will change the landscape of the mainland."

Chapter 251 So it was him!

For the next hour, Elsa, wearing white gloves, kept circling the corpse of the Calamity Walker.

He'd look here and there, argue with that, and occasionally rest his chin on his hand and mutter to himself.

"That's strange, why doesn't this extraterrestrial life form have a core?"

"The outer shell is severely damaged and shows signs of corrosion... Could it be that extraterrestrial life fears corrosion?"

"Oh! What is this little black thing? It's even baring its teeth at me, it's so energetic!"

"I hope you maintain this energy after you join the lab!"

Ryan leaned against a rock to recover his strength while admiring the blonde, wavy-haired woman.

Ryan didn't know much about the Knights of the Morning Star, only that they were a research institution within the Holy See specifically responsible for magic.

In addition, the Knights of the Morning Star are also responsible for managing the external properties of the Papacy.

In fact, the textbooks for the magic academy, as well as many magic-related books, were compiled by the Knights of the Morning Star.

The reform of the magic academy, spearheaded by Ziel, also involved the Knights of the Morning Star.

Not to mention the captain of the Morning Star Knights, even the most ordinary researchers rarely show their faces.

Many members of the Vatican have been working there for over a decade and still don't know whether the leader is male or female.

However, there is one thing to say.

This Captain Elsa...
