Chapter 339 The Power of “The Fire Bearer”!
"You are very lucky. Under normal circumstances, I would definitely not be willing to use this thing like this."
Colin muttered to himself as he saw the corpses quickly evaporate into mist like ice cubes under the sun and disappear completely.
Some intuition told him that these things were not dead, they just returned to something.
Of course, if we put in a little more effort and stop the mist, we can definitely kill it completely...
Alternatively, you could use your Geodude to devour the corpses before they disappear, which would most likely kill them completely.
However, he didn't have time to carry out further delicate operations.
After all, the monsters near the church don’t account for the majority at all.
Without thinking too much, Colin controlled his body to float up, spread his hands to both sides, and crushed two more "colorless crystals".
Suddenly, under his control, surging flames erupted from his body like a mountain torrent, and then swept in all directions. Under the rolling and licking of countless flames tens of meters long, the monster turned into charcoal and evaporated...
Some stronger individuals that were not burned to death on the spot were also killed by the "flying blades" composed of nano-intelligent machines.
At this moment, the power of the Fire Bearer is unmistakable!
"The effect of pure oil is indeed much stronger. Whether it is strength or range, it is extremely smooth..."
After feeling the flames for a moment, Colin couldn't help but take a deep breath, sucking many free flames into his nostrils...
Suddenly, I felt refreshed and my mind was clear.
If the fire was made with ordinary materials, it would be difficult to maintain an effective distance of thirty meters, let alone being able to "enjoy" it like now.
"It's 'Bonfire Agent'-sama!"
It was not until this moment that people near the church realized that the man who had just rushed out was their own bishop!
"Sure enough, the 'Bonfire Church' will never give up on us!" Someone cried with joy.
"Please save us, Lord Bonfire, my father left here a while ago, please..."
"The great messenger of God has arrived, and everyone will be saved!"
“…”
The atmosphere of despair and fear that filled the scene was completely swept away by the huge fire ignited by Colin!
However, after initially dealing with the monsters on the scene, Colin followed the induction of the task in his brain and floated into the air more than ten meters high. After determining the direction, he suddenly shot out with a loud bang.
In the eyes of others, he was like a flaming meteorite, leaving quickly...
…
At the same time, more than 100 kilometers away from the church, in a rugged mountain forest, a group of about 1,000 people were struggling to escape into the depths of the dense forest.
After fleeing for many consecutive days, they looked in extremely bad condition, and many of them had bloody soles.
Countless pieces of sand and gravel were deeply embedded in the flesh and blood...
Among them, even those who are extraordinary in physique are not in very good condition.
In fact, his condition would even get worse due to occasionally facing monsters.
In the middle and back of the brigade, in a squad of more than a dozen people, a haggard-looking man suggested to a man wearing soft armor and holding a broken sword beside him: "Jaeger, let's give up these people. If we continue like this, we won't be able to escape..."
Wow!
A cold light flashed across.
Jaeger broke through the thorny vines in front of him: "No need to persuade me. If you want to leave, you don't have to follow me. I will continue to carry out the mission given to us by the higher-ups."
After hearing this, one of them couldn't help but say, "I don't understand. Our mission is just to monitor that territory and investigate that church as required. At most, we can show some goodwill.
"We have been able to help these people for so many days. This is already our limit. We have shown enough kindness...
"If we leave now, the Knight Commander will not hold us responsible."
Just as he finished speaking, others also said: "Yes, there is no need for us to take risks here. The Knight has promised that after we complete this mission, we will be given priority to become first-level 'Knights of Virtue' in the next ten years..."
“Yes, yes…”
"People from other churches have already fled. We have done enough."
“…”
Hearing their words, Jaeger swung his sword suddenly and cut off a bush of thorns in front of him.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent.
Jaeger turned around, his face, thin from days of fighting, had an indescribable determination:
"I've told you many times that you can leave on your own and don't have to follow me."
This time, it was the same words, but with a warning tone.
"Leave? How can you leave? You are a person that the Knight Commander values and you are a person that he is training. We are nothing. How is leaving like this different from dying?"
The team couldn't help but complain. They looked at each other, and then one of them said, "Jaeger, you... shouldn't just be here for the mission from above, right?"
Hearing his words, Yeager did not give a direct answer: "What do you think a knight has to do?"
"Dedicate loyalty to the king, guard every inch of the king's territory, and protect every one of the king's subjects..."
After hearing the third paragraph, Yeager interrupted them: "So, I am just protecting the king's people."
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but have the same thought: Are those refugees also considered the king's subjects?
Although they had always known that Yeager was a little "unreliable", they didn't expect that he would have such an idea -
Has he been brainwashed by the Bonfire Church?
Only those guys would waste their energy on inferior people.
Or was he brainwashed by that freak "saint" who was also unrealistic and had a head full of ideas that ordinary people could not understand?
The former is the most likely, but the latter is also likely.
After all, they had heard rumors that the "Holy Maiden of the Light Church" was about to come here.
Moreover, many normal people will inexplicably change their personalities after coming into contact with the "Saint" and will develop unnecessary pity.
As if seeing through their thoughts, Jaeger said, "The Bonfire Church has been recognized as the Orthodox Church by all churches, and those accepted by the Bonfire Church are naturally the king's subjects."
Everyone was silent for a few seconds before someone spoke up: "To be precise, although they are people, they are from the Bonfire Church. They should be the ones to save them, not us...
"Yager, what you did was not just to 'protect the king's people', right?
"You wouldn't have betrayed us, would you?"
"I have always followed the teachings and have not betrayed anyone."
After saying that, Jaeger took a deep breath and did not directly answer the question. Instead, he said:
"You know, they really save the weak, give them medical treatment, food, and even teach them knowledge and words..."
"We also..."
Yeager interrupted his companion 25: "It's different, the direction is different..."
Thinking back to what Colin and the others had done, he didn't know how to describe it. He could only feel that those people were not doing it for doctrine or charity... They seemed to really want to change this place.
What impressed him most was a scene: Colin, the "God's messenger", the messenger of God on earth, a great man of supreme dignity... was willing to walk into a pile of smelly poor people, just sit on the ground, and talk to them...
Like... a conversation between friends?
This almost impossible thing just happened...
It was difficult for Jaeger to describe the absurd feeling he felt. After that day, he was shocked by this scene many times.
Before this, he had always felt that the Knight Kingdom, no, this world, was wrong...
But I can't tell what's wrong.
He wanted to ask the "saint" who seemed abnormal to most nobles and high-ranking officials, but he had no chance at all.
Until recently, when he was sent to perform a surveillance mission and saw that scene, he finally vaguely realized something.
This also prompted him to do things that his colleagues now consider extremely irrational.
However , before he could say anything more.
Strange roars were heard from behind, and everyone's expression suddenly changed, including Jaeger's.
