Chapter 35 You damn bug!
"Isn't it a bug? Well... this is the second time you've said this tonight." Kelsey stroked his stubbled chin and said with a smile, "To be honest, this sentence is quite interesting. Do you know why it's interesting?"
Ulu stared at Kelsey without saying anything.
"It's interesting because this metaphor is very vivid, really vivid, and there is no better metaphor than this." Kelsey said, "But you said you are not a bug, which is a bit... not very objective."
As Kelsey spoke, he slowly drew out the holy sword. Both sides of the sword reflected anger on one side and ridicule on the other.
"I'm curious, what gave you the illusion and courage that you are not a bug? Could it be..." Kelsey's eyes slowly moved down, wandering back and forth between Uru's left and right hands, "Is it the finger that doesn't belong to you? Do you think that if you get that forbidden finger, you will also be that forbidden existence?"
Kelse didn't give Uru a chance to reply and spoke again.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to wake you up." Kelsay raised his sword, pointed it at Uru's nose, and smiled, "But you know, I'm a knight and I don't know how to use gentle methods, so I can only be cruel. For example, first chop off the finger that doesn't belong to you, and then..."
Before Kelse could finish his words, there was a sound of breaking air behind him. He let out a soft "tsk" and immediately turned around to see three magic chains coming towards him.
"Can't you wait for me to finish my words?" Facing the sneak attack, Kelsey swung his sword calmly, and the chains made of magic power were instantly cut off by the holy sword filled with more powerful magic power. "But I'm quite surprised, you guys are not... huh?"
Kelsey turned around halfway through his words and saw Uru grabbing the shovel with one hand and chopping straight at his neck, obviously wanting to kill Kelsey in the same way he killed the servant.
But Kelse, as the knight commander, was obviously no match for the servant, and he continued to swing his sword calmly.
A crisp sound.
The rusty shovel was easily cut off by the holy sword like a magic chain, which also announced the failure of Uru's sneak attack.
But Kelsey still raised his eyebrows: "You, you can actually..."
Halfway through his words, Kelse noticed that a white mist had spread beneath his feet. He suddenly realized something and immediately looked up. He found that Uru's other hand was performing a spell and he was muttering something.
This guy, were his two previous attacks meant to cover up this spell?
Kelse, who understood this, stepped back hastily, but was still a little slow. As Uru completed his last seal and the last syllable of the chant came to an end, red flames instantly bloomed in the white mist.
"Bang"!
The white fog exploded.
The dilapidated house could not withstand such an explosion at all. It immediately collapsed in half, raising a large cloud of dust.
The knights waiting outside were watching all this in surprise, and were hesitating whether to go up to rescue, but soon, the dust became thinner, and although it did not completely dissipate, they could already see the general situation inside - Kelse was still standing there, with a faint magic shield on his body, while Uru was sitting against the wall, holding his chest tightly, as if he had been kicked.
"You really surprised me." Kelsay looked at Uru and said calmly, "I always thought that you would never be able to learn how to use magic in actual combat. After all, the trauma you suffered during the assessment was not small."
Ulu stared at Kelce.
In the Rhine Religion, every priest knows spells, because only those who know spells can become priests. But knowing how to use spells and being able to use spells skillfully, or even using spells in battle, are three different levels of things.
Because the basic requirements of spells are hand seals and chanting, both are indispensable.
Once these two cannot reach the same frequency, the spell will fail. Therefore, in the Rhine Church, there are not many priests who can use spells fluently, let alone use them in more complex battles.
Whether one can skillfully use magic in actual combat is also an important criterion of the Rhine Religion.
Once you cross this level, you are no longer a priest of the lowest rank. At the very least, you can go directly to the cathedral and become a more core clergyman.
Uru, who had wanted to leave this town countless times and go directly to the cathedral, naturally studied magic well and participated in the internal examinations of the cathedral many times, but...
"Ah, you worked really hard back then, and often came to me from time to time, hoping that I would teach you combat techniques." Kelsey spoke slowly, as if he was reminiscing with an old friend. "Unfortunately, one day before the assessment, when we were training, I was a little too heavy-handed, so I accidentally..."
Having said this, Kelsey paused for a moment, then looked directly at Uru, with the corners of his mouth slightly cracking.
"If I'm not careful, I'll destroy you."
His tone was very casual, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
Ulu gritted his teeth and growled, "You did it on purpose!"
"Ah, what you said... isn't that nonsense?" Kelsey shrugged and said, "Of course I did it on purpose, but do you know why?"
Ulu didn't say anything because he knew that speaking at this time would only make Kelsey happier.
"Tsk, you don't even answer this question, how boring. But it doesn't matter, I can tell you the reason." Kelsey said, "Maybe you think that I didn't let you take the test because you have a good talent and I don't want to see you, um... become successful? So I deliberately ruined you?"
Kelsey said, shaking his head.
"If you think so, then you really misunderstood me. I am definitely not so narrow-minded that I cannot stand seeing others do well. On the contrary, if you are really talented, I would still be happy to see you go straight to the cathedral, but..."
He paused, and then his smile gradually became playful.
"You are too weak, you know that? You have no talent at all. It takes you half a day to chant a spell, and a year to make a seal. I have taught you for so long, and you have only learned so little. You are really the worst talent among all the people I have ever seen. But you work so hard, and spend several times more time on this than ordinary people. This is really..." Kelsey's eyes suddenly turned cold, "It makes me feel sick. You are like a maggot in a cesspool, trying desperately to climb up. But for a maggot, just the effort is enough to make people sick, you know?"
"That's why I destroyed you."
"I think your previous metaphor is very good. You are a bug." Kelsey raised his sword and pointed it at the tip of Uru's nose through the dust that had not yet dispersed. "Bugs should stay underground and don't think about climbing up. Got it?"
He had thought that Uru would be even more angry after learning the truth.
But what he didn't expect was that Ulu smiled at this moment.
A crazy laugh.
Kelsey frowned slightly.
He suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why hasn't the dust dispersed yet?
Instead, more and more...
etc!
He suddenly thought of something and subconsciously tried to open the shield, but it was too late.
A larger explosion ignited the smoke and instantly collapsed the remaining half of the house.
By the time Kelse emerged from the smoke, half of his armor had been blown off, leaving his exposed body covered in blood.
And his eyes no longer had the previous indifference of controlling everything and the disdainful ridicule. His eyes were filled with bloodshot and... anger.
He was injured by insects.
“You…” He almost gnashed his teeth to pieces, and the roar that followed was heard clearly by everyone in the village, “Damn bug!!!”
