Chapter 48. The Incarnation Of Justice Was To Do Brainless Things!

"Are you alright?"

Ortlinde grabbed Char nervously, her attention completely drawn to the shaking.

She even forgot to exclaim at the dead people around her!

To be honest, it was normal that she did not recognize it. After the meat cocoon was broken into pieces after the alternating heat and cold, coupled with the scorching fire and the repeated trampling of the Red Mist soldiers, it was basically impossible to recognize its human form. Now that she was focused on Char, she did not have the time to consider the real purpose of her trip.

"I'm fine. Let's hide first."

Char shook his head and grabbed her to hide behind a pile of ruins.

There was only one wall between each charging room. The ice and the heat made the wall fragile, and it would collapse with a slight impact. The white fog and thick smoke from the burning Blood Demon had not yet dissipated, and instead became the best cover.

As soon as the two of them hid, a large number of footsteps could be heard in the tunnel.

"The Valkyrie isn't here!"

"Split into two teams, one to the left and one to the right! You guys go to charging rooms 1 to 10, you guys take care of the rest!"

"Yes!"

Just as everyone was about to split up, an order suddenly came.

"Wait a moment!"

Sean's voice came closer. He rushed to the scene and shouted, "Everyone, be careful of the Barbarian of the White Spirit Tribe, Cisco! He might have betrayed us. Don't treat the Red Mist soldiers as your companions, purify them on the spot!"

"Yes!"

After a series of rustling sounds, the group left the place, probably because they didn't think the Valkyrie would hide.

"How did you get down?" Char asked in a low voice.

Ortlinde was embarrassed. She stammered and explained that she had only managed to escape because Rosswealth had held everyone hostage. After hearing this, Char could not help but laugh and praise Rosswealth for having a way out of the sticky situation.

After thinking for a moment, he whispered a few words into Ortlinde's ear.

The hot breath from his mouth burned the girl's ears, and a blush stained her cheeks. As for what he said, she was embarrassed.

She didn't listen at all!

There's no problem with this, right?" Char asked her.

"Eh? Eh! I…"

Char was both angry and amused. He pinched her nose hard.

"I'll say it again, listen carefully!"

He had no choice but to repeat himself. This time, Ortlinde listened attentively. Although she didn't understand, she didn't ask further. It wasn't the right time to do so. Furthermore, Rosswealth would explain it to her.

"Alright, I'll be off then!"

Seeing her leave in a hurry, Char felt that there was something strange about that sentence.

What he told Ortlinde was actually very simple. He wanted her to protect the "flesh cocoon" by all means and buy him as much time as possible.

The outer structure of the mausoleum was circular, and the charging rooms were arranged next to each other. The layout was not complicated. At the moment, more than 20 charging rooms had erupted in conflict, there were three groups of people going after them.

On one side was the Blood Tribe, who had been bewitched by the church to resurrect their ancestors. They had been guarding this place and planned to break into the mausoleum as soon as possible. Muru, who was leading them, controlled a large number of Red Mist soldiers, and his strength could not be underestimated.

The second was the White Spirit Tribe version of the Red Mist soldiers, controlled by Cisco.

Logically speaking, as one of the priests of the tribe, he should not have been able to control so many troops. However, judging from the situation he had just witnessed, there was an 80% chance that something big had happened up there. The team in the camp had been divided into two. Sean had brought a large number of Paladins down to protect and control Ortlinde, while Mobis was most likely up there for emergency situations. Therefore, the priests of the White Spirits might not be able to come down. Thus, Cisco's family was the only one in power, and he could barely compete with Muru while controlling someone else's soldiers.

However, that was all he could do. He was the weakest.

Then, a third party, Sean, and the church's Paladins entered the fray.

The church's strength was undoubtedly the strongest, but the terrain here was closed and narrow, not suitable for the Paladins who were good at team combat, and they could not break through the enemy in one go, so they were weakened to the point where they were only on par with Muru.

However, his goal was very clear—he would attack all the Red Mist soldiers he saw, clearly not taking the Barbarians seriously.

The people of the church had always done things this way. They were kind and benevolent on the surface, but they were cold and scornful in their bones. This was normal.

Apart from these three parties, there was the Blood Demon controlled by Zin'rokh, as well as the naughty child, Ortlinde, who needed to be protected.

The Blood Demon was the common enemy of the three forces, and so was Ortlinde to a certain extent.

Other than that, there were also "flesh cocoons" standing all over the place, providing endless material and energy for the Blood Demon. In other words, if these flesh cocoons were not dealt with, they would not be able to kill Zin'rokh's power source.

Who would do it?

All three parties would do it. It wouldn't take long for them to realize that the Blood Demon's power came from the flesh cocoon, and then they would then eliminate the root.

However, due to Ortlinde's interference, this was impossible.

The Valkyrie was the embodiment of justice! The incarnation of justice would not sit by and watch someone use such an inhumane method to purify the monsters, so she would definitely stop the three parties from doing so.

Sean would listen, but would the other two?

Not necessarily.

At the very least, Muru would not.

How could the Blood Tribe's leader, a brawny, hot-tempered man, accept the suggestion of such a pedantic saintess? He would only curse the church's people for being stupid and then destroy the flesh cocoons himself.

Then, Sean would definitely fight with him.

Think about it, Sean was a Paladin! He was leading a team of Paladins who believe in the Holy Spirit and swear to sow the seeds of truth, kindness, and beauty to save the world. Under the earnest gaze of the Valkyrie, why wouldn't he stop such atrocities? Why would he collude with the Blood Tribe's leader and claim that it was a necessary sacrifice?

This could not happen.

If "Fantasy World " was divided into factions, the church would definitely be the kind that followed the rules. No matter what they did in secret, they had to do something that seemed righteous but was brainless in front of Ortlinde!

When the two started fighting, the weakest of the three, Cisco, could take the opportunity to escape.

This was also why Char had told him not to destroy the flesh cocoons, as it was to leave a way out for him.

If Cisco ignored Char's words and destroyed these flesh cocoons, then it was obvious that he would be hung up and beaten up by the two sides who had reached an agreement. He would not be able to escape. Char would only lose one level at most, but this guy would be completely courting death.

Whether he lived or died, it was entirely up to him.

While all of this was happening, Char had already reached the entrance of the inner ring of the mausoleum.

However, after seeing the situation at the entrance, Char could not help but frown.

What the f * ck?

It was different from what they had agreed on!
