I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"Eh?"

boom!

A huge force came from his waist, and his vision spun again. Jinghua just realized that he was flying in the air when he was tightly wrapped by vines.

After a few seconds, Jinghua, wrapped in vines, fell to the ground - the flower demon threw Jinghua from the towering city wall into the city - Jinghua rolled several times on the ground due to inertia, his cloak became tattered, and the exposed skin felt a burning pain.

However, Jinghua didn't care about these things, but immediately stood up and looked towards the city wall.

As if it had been eaten by a giant beast, a visible gap appeared on the thick city wall. Kumi and the flower demon who were originally standing there also disappeared. The power of the mace itself plus the power of the detonated Kro's tears blew up everything nearby.

Watching all this in disbelief, she clearly wanted to cry out in pain, but no sound came out of her open mouth. Pain, regret, despair and resentment, all kinds of emotions filled her mind. Jinghua watched all this in a daze, and finally her knees softened and she fell to the ground powerlessly.

“How…how could this be…”

Tears dropped onto the ground. Jinghua supported herself on the ground with both hands and clenched her fingers tightly, and grooves were immediately carved into the sand.

"You don't have to protect me... Oh, that's right, if we find Ella, if we find Ella, we can definitely save Miss Flower Fairy!"

As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Jinghua immediately stood up and prepared to run towards Ella in the direction of the castle, but before he took a step, the man in black who had thrown the mace before landed in front of Jinghua from the air and slowly turned around.

"Oh? You're not dead?"

The shrill sound made Jinghua's hair stand on end.

Can't compete.

This was Jinghua’s first impression.

Even without using identification skills, I can tell from his aura that I am no match for him.

"Level 3... Level 30."

Jinghua subconsciously took a few steps back and held the short staff in front of him with both hands, as if this could protect himself.

Jinghua's performance made the man in black tilt his head slightly, looking very surprised.

"You're estimating your level based on your flying magic, right? My apologies, but I've already reached the realm of quasi-heroes. Even though my employer is the Riglist Church, which believes in the supremacy of humanity, the price of a single gem coin is enough to dispel my dissatisfaction. Besides, do you have something more valuable than a gem coin?"

With no sign of being in a hurry, the man in black slowly stretched out his hand - it was a white arm with no flesh and only bones left.

"Immortal?"

"Give me the thing you used against the statue just now. It should be a tool that can be activated without magic power. Give it to me and tell me how to make it. I will let you die without pain."

How to do?

Completely forgetting the shame of wearing a magical girl's outfit, Jinghua rolled her eyes left and right, trying to find a way to escape, but no matter how she imagined it in her mind, she was eventually caught by the other party.

"Don't try to struggle. Your strength is insignificant in my eyes."

“I don’t know how to make it.”

"Do you think I'll believe that? I've never heard of such a precious item that can shatter a golem without consuming any magic power."

"This is a prop someone gave me. I can take you to find her."

Although the other party said that he had reached the quasi-hero realm, which was equivalent to the strength of level 40, in fact, the aura he emitted was only about level 30. Not to mention Mitis who also reached the quasi-hero realm, even Angelica and Shen Gan's aura during the battle was stronger than this skeleton. However, what he said was just a stopgap measure to delay time. No matter what, he could not cause trouble for Ella anymore.

What's more crucial is that no one at the West Gate can stop the skeletons. If they are allowed to return to the city wall, a massacre will definitely occur. Jinghua doesn't think that the undead who hate the living will let go of the soldiers on the city wall. Moreover, guarding the West Gate is the first test to become a saint. If she has the opportunity to defend it but allows the other party to destroy it, not only will she be crushed by guilt, but her goal of becoming a saint will also come to nothing. Of course, this does not mean that Jinghua is pursuing utilitarianism. For Jinghua now, becoming a saint is because she does not want to disappoint the people who helped her. If she chooses to give up despite Ella's full support, she will never forgive herself in her life.

The only way to win is to rely on "Kuro's Tears". If he can find an opportunity to throw Kuro's Tears at the opponent, Jinghua believes that the opponent will be blown to pieces like a golem.

Perhaps feeling that the cloak covering his face hindered the conversation, the skeleton, whose identity had been exposed, lifted up his mask and hood, and the smooth skull suddenly appeared in front of Jinghua's eyes. A chill immediately invaded Jinghua's whole body, along with a bitter and dry mouth.

"Where is that person you're talking about?"

"It's in the direction of the castle. Just lead me there and I'll definitely find it."

"What's your name?"

"Ella."

"You should know the consequences of lying to me, right? With my current abilities, I can turn you into an undead as well. For a human like you, the torture involved..."

"My name is Ella."

Jinghua emphasized it again with extraordinary determination, and the skeleton began to stare at Jinghua's eyes with the red flames hidden in the empty eye sockets. After this confirmation lasted for about three seconds, the skeleton snorted lightly and slowly reached behind his back.

"It's not too late to kill you and find you later!"

The skeleton suddenly ran away without any warning, kicked the ground hard, pulled out the dagger behind him and stabbed at Jinghua, covering the five-meter distance in just one step.

However, Jinghua had already been prepared for the skeletons' sudden attack. Living in the Colosseum for a month taught Jinghua not only patience and strategy, but also the common sense of not letting down one's guard as long as the enemy is not dead. Even if the enemy seems to have lost its combat effectiveness, it is necessary to kill the enemy at the vital points, otherwise the moment the back is exposed will be the moment of death.

The speeds of both sides were completely different, and Jinghua could only make the most basic evasive move - taking a step to the side.

呲.

So fast.

A warm feeling came over his face as he failed to dodge in time and the opponent's dagger scraped his cheek, but it was just an insignificant wound. Jinghua continued to dodge while chanting magic in a low voice.

"Tsk tsk, this kind of reaction, has it been through a life-or-death situation? But I won't be so lucky with the next one!"

The skeleton rushed out several meters due to inertia, turned around, and suddenly disappeared from the spot like a hurricane.

"Flash"

With Jinghua's observation ability, of course she couldn't see the skeleton's shape clearly, but she had encountered a similar situation in the Colosseum. When she was fighting with a warrior, the opponent also disappeared from her sight like the skeleton now. Jinghua clearly remembered the advice given to her by the warrior before he fell. The skill called "Flash" is a magic that is similar to "teleportation" but not teleportation. Once used, the direction cannot be changed before rushing to the predetermined location. Therefore, if there is an obstacle on the road, the user can only collide with the obstacle and stop without any preparation.

The situation now was exactly the same as it was then. Unable to track the other party's whereabouts, Jinghua could only bet that the skeleton would rush straight towards him from its previous position. Without hesitation, he pointed the magic wand he had prepared straight ahead.

“—Light Arrow!”

boom.

bingo.

The skeleton's figure appeared less than three meters away from Jinghua, and the light arrow was firmly inserted into its deep eye socket.

“Gah!”

A painful groan escaped his mouth and the skeleton covered his eyes with his hands.

Without having time to wonder why the skeleton felt pain, Jinghua reached into his backpack and began to feel for Kuro's tears.

Of course, his first-level magic alone was not enough to cause fatal injuries, and perhaps he couldn't even stop the opponent. The light arrow that pierced his eyes was just the goddess of luck favoring him, and it just happened to hit the opponent's vital point. He wanted to win by repeatedly piercing the opponent's eyes with light arrows, but with his current accuracy, he really couldn't hope to do so.

"Wake up!"

To be on the safe side, Jinghua grabbed two red crystals and smashed them at the skeleton. In order to avoid accidentally hurting himself, Jinghua also took a few steps back.

Boom boom!

Huge dust rose from the ground covered with bushes, and countless pieces of gravel flew everywhere along with branches and leaves. Jinghua, who was closer to the explosion point, was also affected. The stones like shrapnel left wounds on his body, especially the stones that hit his chest directly, which felt like being hit by a hammer head-on. The air in his lungs was completely squeezed out, and the strong feeling of suffocation made it impossible for him to even groan. It is certain that if the stone was thin and sharp, it would have pierced Jinghua's lungs on the spot.

"Uh-huh."

Jinghua, lying on his back, groaned, gasped for a few seconds, then turned slightly to the side, supported himself on the ground with both hands, and got up. Then he reached into the backpack at his waist and took out a bottle of light blue liquid. This was a magic potion that could slowly restore life and strength, and it was also the most expensive item he had ever bought.

Jinghua struggled to remove the cork and drank it in one gulp. The strong bitter taste spread on the tip of his tongue. Jinghua couldn't help coughing a few times, then looked ahead where a lot of sand and dust were still floating.

“Huh—is it over…?”

Because of the dust, he couldn't see the other person's body, but if he thought about it carefully, he would understand that if the other person was still alive, he would have attacked him while he was exhausted.

However, influenced by the rules of the Colosseum, Jinghua still squeezed the strength in his muscles, endured the pain that filled his body, stood up, and mustered up his little energy, slowly, step by step, and carefully walking into the dust.

What came into view was a huge crater. Both its depth and diameter showed the power of the explosion just now, but——

"No bodies? Were they blown apart?"

Jinghua quickly turned his head left and right, trying to find any fragments that looked like bones. Unfortunately and terrifyingly, there was nothing nearby that could be called bones.

Click, click, click.

The sound was so strange that it made people's hair stand on end, and Jinghua quickly turned around.

About ten meters away, a skeleton with a tattered black cloak was clapping.

"Excellent reaction and decision, even considering the identification of the body. You're not as simple as you appear. If I weren't fast enough, even activating the 'Fortress' wouldn't be able to withstand that kind of power."

"whispering sound."

Jinghua pretended to be calm and curled his lips, but the skeleton just clapped and walked slowly towards Jinghua.

"This is getting more and more interesting. I take back my promise to kill you. Now I have decided to make you my subordinate."

"That's disgusting."

"Oh my, you still want to resist me now that you're exhausted?"

Without answering the skeleton, Jinghua reached into his backpack and began to chant magic.

The skeleton shook his head helplessly.

"Do you think I'll suffer the same fate again? I'm well prepared and can easily dodge it."

Ignoring the skeleton's words, Jinghua threw a Kuro Tear at the skeleton.

boom.

Just like before, there was a sound that made the earth tremble slightly, but as the skeleton said, the explosion could not cover the skeleton. The skeleton just took a casual step and avoided Kuro's tears.

"It's not good to waste it like this—"

boom.

Once again, dust rose from the ground, but the skeleton still easily dodged it.

Jinghua couldn't help but feel anxious, and took out five of Kuro's tears at once - there were still about thirteen left in the backpack.

"So what if that's the case!"

"too slow."

Boom boom boom boom.

None of the crystals that exploded like raindrops could touch the skeleton's body. Like a fish swimming in coral, the skeleton moved so fast that Jinghua could not react at all. Just as Jinghua was about to take out all of Kro's tears for a last-ditch effort, the skeleton's terrifying face instantly enlarged in Jinghua's eyes. Before Jinghua could react, he pinched Jinghua's skull with his cold hands and lifted Jinghua up.

"I've already said that waste is bad. Well, as long as I take you in as my subordinate, I can get as much information about crystals as I want."

“Ugh!”

The force of pinching his head suddenly increased, and the pain even made him feel as if the skeleton's hand was about to embed into his brain.

Jinghua's facial features were suddenly twisted together by pain. Unable to speak, he kicked and hit the skeleton randomly, even using the short staff that was supposed to be used to cast magic as an iron pestle. However, the skeleton was not moved at all. Instead, it seemed to appreciate Jinghua's struggle very much and increased the strength in his hands little by little.

Has he been checkmated?

Such a voice emerged in my heart.

No, I can also use that magic weapon that looks like a firework. Ella said that as long as I release the signal flare, they will definitely come to help me.

But would they really have enough time? Furthermore, what if the flare distracted Ella, leading to the annihilation of Ella, Lotte, and the others? He absolutely did not want to see Ella accompanying him on his way to hell.

"How's that? Struggling so hard but only waiting to die in despair, if that could be transformed into something delicious, it would surely be quite delicious."

The skeleton opens and closes its lips, making a movement that looks like it is licking the corners of its mouth with its tongue, but the skeleton does not have a tongue, so it just looks funny.

bang bang.

Under the threat of pain and death, Jinghua continued to do the futile work of hitting the skull with a short stick.

"Oh, by the way, before I came down, I seemed to hear someone say something like 'Go down and protect the Saint Lady.' Could that so-called Saint Lady be you? Hmm... while using you as a hostage to force the Kumi tribe to hand over half of the national treasury is a good option, Kumiheim will disappear from the stage of history from today. The so-called Saint Lady will only be a figurehead, right? I'm more attracted to that crystal just now—don't you agree? Useless Saint Lady?"

Useless Saint.

When Jinghua saw the flames in the skull's eye sockets, the crimson eyes instantly lost focus, as if the body and soul were separated. The brain could no longer control the body, and the limbs that were swinging randomly also drooped.

The skeleton couldn't help but feel a little proud. This was the effect of the mental magic when he was on the verge of death and his will was frustrated.

"What a shame! The soldiers defending the city were still waiting for the Saint's return. They certainly didn't realize that the so-called Saint was almost dead—"

Ah, yes, now it has indeed reached a point that can be called a desperate situation.

Because the pain was so severe that he couldn't speak and his soul was almost torn apart, Jinghua could only answer in his heart.

“I don’t know how many people I’m going to disappoint.”

Indeed, if I die here, the wishes of the Kumi people will be unfulfilled, my own dreams will be shattered, and if I go to see the gods afterwards, they will definitely point at my nose and curse me, "Why did you come back again?"

"It's a pity that the Saint Lady is now powerless to resist."

Yes--

wrong.
