Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 78 Taking Over the Situation
The silence only lasted for a few seconds, and soon the entire temple returned to its previous noisy environment.
"Interesting. Killing him actually made me feel a little tight in my chest... It seems that to the original owner, this guy was a very important subordinate? Or even a companion? Killing one of the few people he could trust with his own hands, this is really an incredible tragedy."
The being wearing Floralo's skin gently used her toes to push the other person's head towards her . She looked at the childish eyes that were gradually disintegrating and said with interest.
Except for Gare, who fell silently to the ground with circles of bright red blood spreading around him, everything in the entire temple was normal, as if what had just happened was just an illusion.
After saying this, "Flo" took a few steps back to avoid the blood that was gradually flowing towards her. Then she raised her head and looked at Remedios who was still guarding the door of the temple.
At this time, Remedios had already raised the Glazed Moon in her hand. Although she did not pull out the special enchanted arrow from the quiver, the lethality of even an empty string with charged power should not be underestimated.
But even in the face of this imminent threat, "Fularo" just smiled and asked:
"If I leave now, you won't mind such a small matter, right?"
Remedios did not relax her bowstring. After a moment of silence, she continued in the same tone:
"If you get out of here right now."
She raised her head and laughed mockingly. She bowed to Remedios first, then pulled the bowstring of the Second Order. Ignoring the bowstring that was ready to be fired, "Fularo" just brushed past the Lord of Ava and walked out of the treetop temple with a swagger.
After the two men left the Treetop Temple, Nezemar felt the heavy pressure subside.
Having regained control of her body, Nezemar immediately rushed towards the fallen Gare. She helped up the most trusted secretary of the Duke of Holy Tree, and an emerald green light flashed on her hands.
But when the lit [Healing Hand] touched the strange wound on Gare's body, dark smoke instantly gushed out of the wound, and then turned into countless sharp and tiny barbs that pierced through the body, and black blood gushed out densely.
He was scrambling to stop the sudden emergence of barbs from causing more damage, but a white hand stopped Nezemar's futile attempt.
She raised her head and saw that Remedios, who had just been at the door of the temple, had now come to her side.
"This man is dead."
She made a calm judgment.
Although that "Floro" only left a wound on the opponent's abdomen that barely cut through the flesh, the black smoke from the opponent's weapon penetrated deeply into his body through the wound, and then condensed into countless sharp blades and spikes in the opponent's abdominal cavity, instantly cutting and piercing the soft organs.
"When fighting the Moon Realm monsters under the Whispering Queen, you must pay special attention to this . If the defensive measures are not taken properly, a tiny wound can be extremely fatal."
Without any words of comfort or extra emotion, Remedios shared her experience in dealing with certain Moon Realm monsters. Her tone was as calm as if she was reading a water outage notice.
"The Whispering Queen... her Moon Realm monsters?"
Looking up at the pair of eyes that were so calm that they could reflect his own reflection, Nezemal murmured and repeated.
"The one occupying Floral's body now is probably the demon general Silence under the Whispering Queen, or at least a being that has acquired the power of Silence. After all, it is very strange that it can make sounds. Even if Silence has been anchored in the world through a contract summon for a thousand years, its contractor cannot make any sound..."
As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the altar in the center of the temple.
"Ms. Remedios!"
Gently placing Gareth's body down, Nezemal called out to the former member of the Tribunal.
The other party neither turned around nor slowed down, but just uttered a soft "Hmm?" in a nasal tone as a response.
"Since the one who occupied the body of the Duke of the Holy Tree was a high-level Moon Realm monster, why didn't you stop it from leaving? It took away one of the allies that the Judge had developed here, and killed another one."
At this time, Remedios had already walked to the altar. She carefully observed the complex magic formula with the soul box as the core, and replied in a cold tone:
"Because I won't do something that has no cost-effectiveness at all."
Hearing this answer, Nezemal bit his lower lip lightly.
Perhaps it was the subtle influence of the hostile propaganda of the Small Empire, or perhaps it was because the other party was more reluctant to give up his secular power in Ava than to serve the Holy Spirit. Nezemar had a hard time getting a good impression of this member of the Tribunal who was once known as a "Ranger".
Coupled with the other party's detached and indifferent attitude towards the death of their ally, and their behavior of compromising with the Moon Realm monsters, an uncontrollable impulse rose from Nezemal's chest, making her want to say something.
So, she bravely asked:
"Why is there no cost-effectiveness? Is it because you can't beat the opponent?"
Or do you care more about your own safety than the Judge's principle of exterminating the Moon Realm monsters?
Nazemare forced himself not to utter the second half of the sentence.
Hearing this, Remedios stopped what she was doing and turned her head slightly to glance at the young believer behind her.
"No, I am stronger than it. The proof is that if it thought it could defeat me, no one in this entire temple would have survived."
Remedios answered calmly.
"Then why do you..."
"Being stronger than it doesn't mean it can kill her."
She returned her gaze to the magic formula inscribed on the altar, and anticipating Nezemal's question, she answered:
"There are others who can kill it completely. The most I can do is to exile it back to the Moon Realm. It's not worth it to get seriously injured in exchange for its exile. Moreover, if we let go and fight, no one in the entire temple, including you, will be able to survive the aftermath of the battle.
"So, any questions?"
Although these words seemed to be an excuse for herself, the tone sounded as if she was stating some self-evident truths. Even if Nezemar had a prejudice against the Shadow Queen, deep down in her heart, she couldn't help but feel that what she said was the truth.
However, she could not imagine what the scene would be like. After all, she had never seen a Moon Realm monster of the Demon General level, as she was born in this era. She had only heard some exaggerated rumors about the strength of a Level 1 Divine Realm expert, except for Holy Spirit Cain.
But even the most exaggerated rumors would not be to the extent that the aftermath alone would cause the death of her and everyone here, right?
With the help of the Chief Judge, he has now successfully reached the master level of strength, which is considered to be a level that the Eighth Order can stand on its own in the past.
And in the aftermath of the all-out battle between the powerful ones in the Divine Realm, they couldn't even escape?
"So what do we need to do next?"
Feeling guilty about his previous bold remarks, Nezemal immediately changed the subject and asked.
"Find a way to contact William in another timeline, find out why Silence and the Church of the Holy Spirit need Flora Cain's body, and guard this place until the Judge returns. Also, if possible, try to stabilize the situation in Holy Tree City."
Remedios answered without even thinking.
"Since Silence didn't fight me to the death here, it's either because Flora's body is very important, or because it believes that William on the other side will not be able to come back for some reason. Of course, it's more likely that it's both.
"Right now, we need to first figure out the special features of Flora's body. As for whether Sir William can come back...Since Silence believes that the arrangements made by the Void Kings on the other side can trap him, then I also believe that Sir William can break free from any trap and fight back twice as hard."
