On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

Hearing Liao Ji's question and looking at the fallen and insane nun not far away, Tamik took a deep breath and gripped the sword in his hand tightly.

Like I said, he doesn't understand.

All he knew was that he had to fight for his beliefs, and he was willing to sacrifice himself for them if burning himself could bring back the goddess.

"Mr. Liao Ji, please give the order!"

Chapter 65 In this world, no one understands Ti better than me...

Liao Ji's instructions were simple.

Tamik didn't even need to do it himself.

"Then I'll take the liberty of offending you a little."

Before the young knight could understand what Liao Ji meant, the youth lifted him up like a chick.

Irene's killing corpses are not just for energizing [Brand].

do not forget.

As a girl bound by a contract, every bit of pollution generated by killing and using turbid energy in battle will be transmitted to Liao Ji through the contract, transforming into an increase in Liao Ji's power.

Having already killed at least a hundred turbid corpses, Irene had provided Liao Ji with a large amount of experience points, causing his level to advance by leaps and bounds.

Even if the protagonist only gets a few attribute points per level, Liao Ji, who keeps skipping levels, has long exceeded the strength range of ordinary people. This makes it as easy for him to lift a grown man with one hand as if he were playing a game, just like holding a ball.

As for what to do after picking up the ball...

Of course, it should be thrown out!

"My personal suggestion is that you should close your eyes from now on."

After speaking, Liao Ji aimed at the dark arrow of [Dark Spirit Annihilation] that had been finished chanting by Styutia and was being fired at Irene, and forcefully threw Tamik in his hand!

brush!

Although he had long been prepared to die, when he was actually thrown into the air by Liao Jiru's discus, when the intense feeling of weightlessness swept over his body, and when the whistling wind kept ringing in his ears, it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid.

Plus.

Tamik did not heed Liao Ji's advice. He saw the target Liao Ji had thrown at him after using him as a "shield." He saw a black arrow growing larger and larger in his field of vision, exuding an aura of destruction.

If I get hit by this, will I die?

Oh.

Isn't that obvious?

It is said that in the instant a person is hit by a large truck, countless thoughts will burst through their mind; at that moment, they will think about many, many things.

Tamik recalled his life, saying he had never seen his parents since birth. He heard from the doctor that a kind nun found his mother in difficult labor by the roadside and took her to the church hospital, paying for her surgery. Unfortunately, his mother did not survive, but at least she gave birth to him.

Born an orphan, he was fortunate to find new parents, a couple who had lost their ability to have children, with the help of nuns in the church.

They were regulars at the church and always upheld the Goddess's ideals. It is said that they were praying to the Goddess that day for them to have a child. As soon as they heard that there was an orphan waiting to be adopted, they immediately took him home.

They regarded themselves as a gift from Lady Sthitia, a blessing from their devout prayers, and considered themselves her own son, giving him the best of everything along the way.

until

That day, several violent human traffickers broke into their home. His parents fought desperately against the traffickers for him, but in the end, they all fell in pools of blood. During this time, young Tamik was completely terrified. He could only curl up in a corner, hug his cross tightly, and beg the goddess for help to save his parents and his family.

Unfortunately, Lady Styutia did not respond to him. After killing his parents, the human traffickers threw him into the car. In the car, Tamik saw many other children who, like him, had been kidnapped, with ashen faces and dull eyes.

That moment, perhaps, was when the Tamik faith was at its most vulnerable to collapse. The young boy couldn't help but wonder, did the goddess truly exist? Was Lady Sthiuthia really watching over them? Then why... why...

Tamik remembers clearly that just as his eyes were about to turn completely gray, like those of the other children around him...

Suddenly the traffickers' car came to an abrupt stop, followed by chaotic gunfire outside, which then turned into screams—the screams of the traffickers.

Bang!

The carriage door was kicked open, and sunlight streamed back into the dark carriage. Standing at the door was a handsome man in a silver-gray uniform of the Knights, stained with blood and grime from the gunfight. Despite the blood and grime, it did not diminish his handsomeness.

"The rest is up to you. Take good care of these children."

"And what about you, Dulin?"

"I just remembered, there's a girl waiting for me to... date her!"

The recollection of life's scenes has ended.

Tamik closed his eyes.

Throughout his life, he was being redeemed by the Goddess and those who believed in her.

This time, it's finally his turn.

Are you ready to sacrifice yourself for Lady Sthiuthea?

The pitch-black arrow of [Dark Spirit Annihilation] and Tamik's body, which had been thrown through the air, eventually overlapped, causing even Irene below to close her eyes.

Can she say that Liao Ji is cruel?

She doesn't deserve it.

Moreover, that arrow was meant for her; it was Tamik who took the brunt of it and died for her.

All she could do now was turn her grief into rage and kill! Kill! She had to become stronger; she had to continue building up this already terrifying, yet still insufficient, power!

she was

"Huh!?"

In the girl's imagination, Tamik, pierced by a black arrow, was torn to shreds, and it would be a luxury to keep a whole corpse. In fact, the young knight himself thought so too.

But now, when the camera shifts and the girl opens her eyes, the next scene is...

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Tamik continued his parabolic descent, yelling and screaming. He was completely unharmed, without even the slightest injury. Could it be that at the last moment, the nun finally had a change of heart and withdrew her skill?

No, absolutely not. There was no way that arrow could be retrieved.

So what exactly is it?

"Zero, go catch him. It would be such a mood killer if he died from a fall."

Upon receiving the command, the mechanical maid immediately rushed towards Tamik, who was about to fall from mid-air. In just a few breaths, she brought Tamik, who was still in shock and had a look of deep confusion on his face, back to Liao Ji's side.

"How are you feeling?" Liao Ji patted the young knight on the shoulder.

"Feeling. Feeling."

“I understand. You’ve worked hard. I’m so glad that Styutia has such a loyal follower as you.”

This is Liao Ji's heartfelt praise.

After speaking, Liao Ji stopped staying behind and walked straight towards Styutia, leaving Tamik with only his departing back.

Because he was familiar with Styutia and every one of her skills, Liao Jicai understood the biggest drawback of [Dark Spirit Annihilation]: it became stronger when facing strong opponents and weaker when facing weak opponents.

When encountering "weak" units with an attack power rating below C, it is even less effective, or rather, it is no different from scratching an itch.

As for why Liao Ji suddenly came out.

Very simple.

Because he knew that Styutia had no other attack skills. Yes, as a healer, the [Dark Spirit Annihilation] spell she had just used was the nun's only offensive ability.

All of Styutia's remaining abilities can only save people, not kill them.

That left the nun with only one option.

The scythe and claw reappeared in Styutia's hands, only to be stabbed in the back by Lord Ash time and again, and easily neutralized by Lord Ash using his familiar weaknesses.

A familiar sense of powerlessness welled up in Sthiuthia's heart again, a feeling that came from memories of five hundred years ago.

The reason she was eliminated and replaced by the newcomers was because she had too few attack methods. She couldn't kill or hurt others. It was because of this that Lord Ashes became increasingly distant from her.

Styutia, don't repeat the same mistake, absolutely not!

Therefore, at this moment, the nun chose to completely surrender herself to Zhuo'e, letting Zhuo'e control her mind, because only in this state was she the unfamiliar one to Lord Ash, the one who could kill!

The mad nun who could easily crush and tear apart the entire "Emergency Medical Team" has reappeared.

This time, I'm facing a complete stranger.

Facing a completely new her.

Faced with her ultimate attack, she wanted to see what Lord Ash could possibly use to stop her!

indeed.

Faced with the mutated and corrupted Styutia, Liao Ji had no idea about this form of the nun's skill set, and could no longer target her in the same way as before.

Moreover, Styutia has disregarded her status and has begun to personally engage in the battle. No matter how fancy the moves are, they are all useless in the face of absolute power.

At first glance, they do seem to have been driven into a corner.

But Irene is still lacking something. It's not just the accumulated attack power; Irene is missing something that can ensure she can hit without hesitation, with 100% accuracy, and even deliver a critical hit.

Output environment.

This is why Liao Ji came out from the back.

Even with the unfamiliar St. Sciutta, Liao Ji always believed that there was only one thing the nun would never change.

"Hey, Jiuyou, I hope you can make things easier for me."

Liao Ji muttered something under his breath.

After that, in his skill bar, among the five skills from "them", another brand new skill was lit up and used by Liao Ji.

At that moment, all the blood in his body boiled, and the respiratory power of every cell in his body seemed to be stimulated to the maximum. His heart in his chest was pounding like crazy, thundering loudly.

Crimson scales, like tattoos, quickly covered Liao Ji's arms and then his entire body. When he took another step forward, the aura he exuded made him seem no longer human in everyone's eyes.

Instead, it looks more like a head

Dragon.

Red Dragon.
