"Templar Knights?"

Carl looked at the other person, and his expression did not change much. After all, he already had a guess in his mind.

When the four savages arrived at the tower, he had already landed nearby with Yana.

He saw the fight between the two and nodded:

"Please come all the way here."

"It's my duty." Boken said solemnly, "Guardian is the messenger of God. You guide us in the direction we are heading. You will come no matter how far away it is."

"Really?" Carl said noncommittally: "I thought you came here to take me back to the temple."

"God's messengers can only be truly blessed if they are baptized in the church." Boken said, "You should go back to the church."

baptism?

Blessing?

Carl's heart skipped a beat.

As the master of the fragments of the divine realm, he knew the rituals of the gods very well.

The Moon Goddess is not completely dead yet, and if a ceremony is held in a special place, there is indeed a chance to contact her.

But he absolutely does not want to be involved in this kind of connection. After all, once touched, he will never be able to get rid of it in his lifetime.

"I will not return to the temple."

Shaking his head, Karl directly expressed his thoughts:

"Other matters can be discussed, but this one cannot."

"Guardian." Boken frowned. "The temple is the residence of God. As a guardian, you should stay there. It would be against the rules if you don't go."

"What do you need?"

"Power, wealth, women... As long as you ask, the Holy Temple will be able to help you."

"I'm not interested in these." Carl shook his head: "That's right!"

"In your temple, are there any martial arts or techniques that only guardians can practice?"

"Yes." Boken nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "The martial arts that mortals practice are called combat skills, and the martial arts that guardians and demigods practice are called sacred skills. This type of skills used to only be circulated in the divine realm. After the war among the gods, some of them were left in the human world. There are several of them in the Holy Temple."

"As long as you return to the Holy Hall, these techniques and martial arts will be open to you, including all the resources needed for practice."

"Forget it!" Carl was tempted for a moment, but still waved his hand:

"I have no plans to go to the temple at the moment."

“Swish!”

A blur before my eyes.

The skinny figure who had just killed four people appeared in front of Carl, with a pair of dark eyes without any emotion under the hood.

It seemed like it was about to pounce on me in the next moment.

The Templar's attitude was also very clear. If he was unwilling to go, then he would have to take forceful action.

“Zheng!”

Along with the sound of clanging, the Blasphemous Knight Yana also drew out her greatsword and stood in front of Carl.

"Yana!"

Borken growled like an angry beast:

"What are you doing? What the Paladin does represents God's will. Are you going against God's will?"

"No!" Yana lowered her eyebrows: "Compared to the Paladin, the Guardian can truly represent the will of the gods. God chose him instead of you."

"So I should protect him instead of obeying the orders of the temple."

"..." The flesh at the corners of Boken's eyes twitched, and he stared at Yana fiercely, his face full of disgust and anger: "Sinners who betrayed God, you should have been nailed to the bottom of the Undead Abyss forever. Now you have the opportunity to forgive your sins, but you can't tell the truth from the false."

"Yana!"

"You think you can stop me?"

Carl's eyes flickered, as if thinking about something.

The attitude of the Templar Knights towards the Blasphemous Knights is very divided. Although both sides are fighting for the gods, they look down on them and even hate them extremely.

The reason is simple.

The Blasphemous Knight comes from the evil god Pale Wings.

The Pale Wings are war angels who betrayed the goddess, so in theory, the Blasphemous Knights are all descendants of traitors.

A Templar Knight who truly believes in the Goddess would definitely not like a Blasphemous Knight.

But helpless.

Without the blessing of the gods, it is difficult for the Templar Knights to become guardians, and many things need to be done by the Profane Knights.

This in turn led to the Templar's complex attitude towards the Blasphemous Knights.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Boken suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Karl and said, "Guardian, now that your identity has been revealed, there are more people who want to find you than just the Holy Temple."

"You have to know that some people do not want the goddess to be resurrected, so they will not allow you to live."

"When I came to Strom City, I sensed the presence of betrayers. They won't be as easy to talk to as I am."

"Really?" Carl nodded. "Thank you for telling me the news. I believe that with your protection, I will be fine."

"Only in the temple can you be truly safe." Boken shook his head.

"oh!"

Carl said, "Can the Holy Temple stop the Grand Duke?"

"Can!"

Boken's answer was unexpected. Facing the most powerful title in the world, he remained unafraid:

"The temple is not a temple on earth, but a holy place originally in the divine world, the residence of the goddess."

“There, we have nothing to fear!”

The place where mortals live in this world is called the human world, and the place where gods live is called the divine realm.

According to Carl's understanding.

The human world is the real world.

God's Domain,

In the astral realm.

However, after the war of gods, the realm of gods was shattered, and many places fell from the realm of gods to the human world.

for example……

The Guardian Arena where the Sasa tree is located.

There is also the holy temple mentioned by Boken.

You should never go to the place where the Moon Goddess once lived, or you will be in trouble if you are targeted.

Carl shook his head:

"For the last time, I will not go to the temple."

"..." Boken looked at him quietly for a long time before he spoke slowly: "The order I received was to bring the guardian back to the temple. If necessary... a corpse is also acceptable."

Huh? "Do it!"

Borken waved his hands violently.

“Swish!”

The soil under the skinny figure's feet suddenly exploded, and a shadow crossed the void and pounced towards Carl.

"snort!"

Yana snorted coldly and rushed forward with sword in hand.

Her physical fitness values ​​are almost the same as Carl's, both have just broken through ten and reached the middle stage of the first level.

The difference between a physique of ten points and a physique of around nine points may seem small, but it is obvious in actual combat.

"Bang!"

The two figures that collided rapidly retreated at the same time. Yana only took two steps back to stabilize her body, while the opponent was directly thrown away, and the tattered clothes on his body were torn by the surging energy.

Under the tattered clothes, there is a monkey-like creature.

His dry and rough skin looked like weathered rock, his ten sharp fingers no longer had any human form, his long gray and white hair was scattered behind his back, and his dark eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Human? It's not a human at all!

But Yana felt a familiar aura from the other person, as if they were sisters connected by blood.

"What did you do?"

Yana's eyes twitched:

"what is it!"

"What is it?" Borken sneered, "Don't you feel that its body is flowing with the same blood as yours, the blood of blasphemy!"

"it……"

"It's your sister!"

"Nonsense!" Yana screamed, her expression ferocious:

"What on earth did you do? You captured babies for experiments?"

"Blasphemy!" Boken's face straightened and he spoke solemnly, "We stepped into the darkness and the abyss, our bodies and minds were polluted, just to pursue that moment of light."

"Yana!"

"The blasphemous knights with wisdom do not meet the needs of the temple, and they... are your replacements. We call them blasphemous ancient beasts."

"roar!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the 'blasphemous ancient beast' in the field roared to the sky as if stimulated by something, the muscles on its back cracked, and a pair of flesh wings covered with mucus suddenly spread out, stirring up a gust of wind.

“Swish!”

With a gentle flap of its wings, it appeared in front of Yana.

"when……"

The two of them collided again. This time Yana was still on top, but the ancient beast of blasphemy had wings and did not lose its balance. Instead, it folded its wings in the air and pounced again.

"Your strength has increased again."

Borken narrowed his eyes:

"But for you, the Blasphemous Knights, this level of strength is already close to the limit."

“And for the blasphemy against the ancient beast, it has just begun.”

"Yana!"

Looking at the two figures fighting back and forth in the field, he spoke slowly, "You probably don't know yet, but several elders in the Holy Temple have passed an order to destroy a generation of Blasphemous Knights. Blasphemous Knights born like you will be cleaned up, and they are the ones responsible for doing it."

"The second generation of Blasphemy Knight - Blasphemy Ancient Beast!"

"All the blasphemous knights of the generation in the temple have been cleared out, including those geishas who were favored by the elders."

"ah!"

Yana screamed towards the sky, her eyes turning almost completely black, her anger almost making her lose control of her body: "Boken!"

"You...you deserve to die!"

"boom!"

With the violent force, Yana suddenly knocked the attacking blasphemous ancient beast away, and turned her body to pounce on Boken.

"sinner!"

Facing Yana, who was rushing towards him, there was no fear on Boken's face. Instead, there was disgust deep in his bones: "Your eyes, your hair, the smell on your body, even the blood flowing in your body is a sin."

"You shouldn't exist in this world."

"Bang!"

The soil in front of him suddenly exploded, and two black shadows shot up into the sky and collided with the unsuspecting Yana.

Blasphemy against the ancient beast!

Moreover, each of these two blasphemous ancient beasts held a strange scimitar in their hands. They hid themselves and suddenly exploded, and the scimitar directly pierced Yana's body.

Their ability to conceal their presence was so amazing that even Carl couldn't detect it in advance.

"Yana!"

Carl frowned and was about to make a move when his heart suddenly started to tremble and his body flew sideways for several meters.

“Swish!”

Three dark shadows crossed and passed by the place where he was just now.

Blasphemy against the ancient beast!

There were actually six blasphemous ancient beasts in the field!

"superior!"

Boken took a step back, leaving the battlefield to a few people: "Kill Yana and capture the guardian!"

"call!"

The six blasphemous ancient beasts suddenly jumped up at the same time, three of them rushed towards the injured Yana, and three of them reached out to grab Carl.

They are all very fast, and simple movements become extremely lethal when performed by them.

"Bang!"

A blasphemous ancient beast flew backwards.

Carl clenched his five fingers into a fist, and the fighting spirit around him condensed into substance. He easily blocked the incoming attacks, his expression unchanged:

"Don't underestimate me. After all, I am the guardian of the goddess."

Fighting Skills - Dancing! The fighting spirit blessed by the Holy Breath seemed to have substance, transforming into numerous fist shadows, rushing towards the blasphemous ancient beast.

His cultivation level of the middle stage of the first stage was clearly revealed at this moment.

In terms of strength, Yana is not as good as Karl.

"Bang!"

"Pom Pom!"

Three blasphemous ancient beasts flew out one after another, one of them even had a broken sternum and would be difficult to recover in a short period of time.

Breaking through the encirclement, Carl was about to rescue Yana, but suddenly he felt a chill in his heart.

Huh? Danger!

The extreme danger made his skin tense instantly, and an activated talisman appeared in his palm.

Although it was unclear where the danger came from, this warning sign directly triggered Carl's critical point of survival.

He even almost ignored the other people on the field and hid back in the fragments of the divine domain.

Behind him.

The void suddenly darkened.

A flash of black light suddenly appeared.

Black swallows light and does not emit light, but that black light seems to break common sense and emits a faint black halo.

Just a flash.

The black light appeared at the back of Carl's head, and the next moment it was about to pierce through his head and kill his life.

Time seems to freeze at this moment.

"No!"

Yana turned around and saw this scene, her eyes twitched and she screamed to the sky, but no sound came out.

In an instant.

Countless past experiences in life flashed through my mind.

When she was young, in order to adapt to the bloodline of the evil god, she endured torture every moment, just to survive.

every day.

Only when the kind priest told her stories about God did her pain ease.

God will redeem the world.

Including these blasphemous knights who carry the blood of evil gods.

Countless times of mental brainwashing and will hypnosis made this sentence the source of her survival.

God loves the world!

God! Loves His people.

There is no doubt that Yana is devout to God, even the most devout Templar Knights cannot compare to her.

'I owe everything to God...'

And God,

In her heart, it has always been an illusory existence, a spiritual sustenance that no one has ever truly seen.

Until...

"God has his own guardians. Sometimes God will visit the guardians. They are the people closest to God."

"Your mission this time is to protect him and bring the guardian back to the temple."

The voice of the temple elder echoed in her ears. Yana took over the task in a daze, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Guardian, the person closest to God.

He will save God and he will save himself.

But now, the guardian was about to die before her eyes, and the despair and collapse instantly overwhelmed her sanity.

"hiss……"

“Hiss…”

Black threads appeared out of thin air, like indestructible sharp blades, mincing the three blasphemous ancient beasts beside them into minced meat.

"boom!"

The air trembled violently.

Yana's figure appeared beside Carl as if teleporting, and she stretched out her hand to grab the black light.

"Bang!"

The energy is surging.

Human figures flew out in all directions.

Carl's face was solemn. He shook his hand and cast the talisman in his hand. Seven balls of flame appeared out of thin air around him.

Seven groups,

There is only one more cluster than six, but it means that the power of the talisman has reached the late stage from the middle stage of the first stage.

During this period of time, he kept refining talismans, and by chance, a first-stage late-stage talisman was born.

certainly,

His refining skills are still mediocre, mainly because his materials are rather special, which gives him a chance of luck.

"boom!"

Seven balls of flames fell downwards.

Endless flames surged, and the remaining three blasphemous ancient beasts were instantly burned to ashes.

Suddenly, a white arm appeared where Yana was, pulled her to the ground and disappeared.

Escape underground?

Carl's eyes twitched and he dropped to the ground to take a closer look.

Things happened so fast that he had no time to react.

From the beginning, Yana was fighting with the blasphemous ancient beasts, to the appearance of six blasphemous ancient beasts, she was dragged into it.

Another assassin immediately appeared.

The appearance of the assassin caused Yana to suddenly go berserk and block the fatal blow for herself.

At such a close distance, the continuous fireballs should have hurt the assassin.

But the opponent hid behind Yana and avoided most of the attacks, and finally escaped with Yana.

"Did you see that?"

Borken, who had luckily escaped, roared loudly:

"This is why the Holy Temple must purge a generation of blasphemous knights. Sooner or later, they will turn into monsters. No matter how docile and pious they were before, they will eventually turn into monsters!"

"Hmm?" Carl narrowed his eyes. "You mean, the one who assassinated me just now was also a blasphemous knight?"

"Yes!" Boken nodded, "I didn't notice her when she was hiding, but whenever she showed up, the smell on her body was very familiar to me."

"It is a blasphemous existence!"

"traitor!"

"Guardian! Carl!" He looked directly at Carl and said loudly:

"Those betrayers will not let you go. They will never allow the goddess to wake up, so follow me back to the temple..."

"Return to the temple?" Carl shook his head, and his tense spirit slowly relaxed:

"never mind!"

"Since they are all Blasphemous Knights, Yana should be fine. You might as well tell me some methods that only Guardians can practice, so that when others come to kill me, I will have the power to protect myself."

"You said so."

"Okay!" Boken nodded and suddenly took action:

"Fall down!"

"Bang!"

Someone fell down.

But not Carl.

"You don't know your own limits."

Shaking his head, Carl waved his sleeves and drew a pattern full of mysterious atmosphere on the field.

"You think I can't ask if you don't tell me?"

"Lord of the Source!"

"The King of All Aspects!"

“…”
