[Western Fantasy] Cardinal's Life Goal

The gasping/breathing from around the fire grew heavier, and the faint but frightening sound of Farr's footsteps drew closer.Delin wasn't sure if the evil beast had spotted the two of them... because it was approaching but not firm.

The tiny expectations were shattered, and in the low sound of "ho ho" that was not only breathing but also laughing, a flame shot out from Farr's body, and rushed straight to the giant tree behind the two of them!This is not just a flame, but also "power", like a dragon's flame directly knocking down a giant tree - Sears rolled forward with Delin, and the sparks only burned to the corner of the angel's clothes.

The color of that kind of flame is very light, sticking to the giant tree as if possessed of spiritual intelligence and not spreading to the surroundings, it even rushed in the direction where the two escaped.Fortunately, Delin pulled Sears to stand up in time, and ran to the west. The flame at the corner of his clothes brought a weak line of fire in midair.

Sears took out a dagger that Delin had spared, cut off the piece of cloth, and then urged divine power to build a seemingly fragile barrier behind the two.

"—Here." Sears turned the fast-running boy into his arms, and turned to a path with sparse weeds.It can be seen that few people have passed by here, and even stepped on a not-so-obvious "road".

Delin staggered for a moment, feeling uneasy for some reason.

The scorched figure chased after it—this demonic beast that looked like it was about to disperse into a ball of ashes was actually running!With every step he took, that short and ugly body would crack slightly, revealing bright sparks from the gap.His feet—barely can be regarded as the two pillars of his feet—lightly touch the ground, which can make that body leap like a legendary elf.

The fire came from behind, and Sears hugged the boy tightly and rolled away to the side of the road. The fiery red pillar of fire collided with the divine shield lingering in place, making a sharp hiss, as if a pair of hands had torn it apart.But the power of the devil is extraordinarily strong in this mountain where the devil is entrenched, not to mention that Sears does not have enough power to resist the gods and demons.

The barrier was cracked, and a slightly dim flame rushed in, and was cut in two by a short black knife.

Delin's hands were trembling—the flame burned the Anjaka Blade instantly, but he didn't dare to let go.The blade, which was powerful enough to extinguish any power of gods and demons, destroyed Farr's attack while scalding the user's hands to blisters. The heat was unstoppable even by divine power.

Sears held Delin's palm and wrapped it with divine power, which made the boy feel a little better—then the envoy led the boy to stand up along the way, and ran to the predetermined destination.

Crossing the "trail" and following the stream to the depths of the mountains, the two walked more and more frivolously, and their bodies became weaker and weaker.The attacks from Farr never stopped, and the flames passing through the barrier had to be cut off by the blade of Anjaka, and the scorching short knife had already stuck to Delin's palm.Pieces of black spots appeared in front of the boy's eyes. As a frontal defense, he consumed much more than Sears.Even only being carried by Sears has the strength to escape forward.

"Hold on a little longer." Sears gasped/breathed and clasped Delin's wrist tightly, his eyes looking forward seemed to be lit with divine light, "The fork is ahead, we just need to—"

The light went out.

In the emerald green ocean, there are twists and turns, and no one can tell what the next invisible road will look like.

In front of the two of them was a high cliff, and below, in the dark and huge abyss, countless branches and leaves of the same emerald green trees swayed in the wind.

"...Just go through here." Sears' words weakened, and for the first time something resembling despair appeared on his face.

Fal noticed their stop and slowed down too.The weak body approached unsteadily, panting/breathing like a shattered laughter getting louder, he uttered the secret language of "gurgling" from his throat that no one could understand, and his shapeless face resembled Something at the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.

Delin fell into Sears' arms and shouted in a daze, "...Your Majesty?"

The boy's divine power was exhausted, and he only remembered to hold the handle of the knife firmly and Sears' hand firmly.

Sears bent down, with a gentle look on his face, and slowly but firmly brought the boy into his arms. "Don't be afraid," he said, "we're about to escape."

In the next second, his expression suddenly distorted, and he rushed forward as if he had exhausted all his strength, and rushed out of the high cliff one second before the flame beam arrived—time seemed to have changed when the two of them stagnated in midair. Slowly, the pillar of fire brushed the tops of the two people's heads and rushed into the air.Delin only had time to grab Sears by the collar with a confused face, and then fell into the abyss.

——In the dense forest, there is also an underground forest.

……

Alethek was sitting in a room with floor-to-ceiling windows in the Holy See. He was a little impatient, but still had his gentle expression on his face.

Opposite him - under the steps, sat a middle-aged man.A head of black hair mixed with silver threads was combed neatly behind his head, and he was dressed in a straight suit, which tightened his soft beer belly-this made him look even fatter, even funny.But no one dared to say that, because he was the owner of Tang Guiya.

The master behind the folded flower group.

Completely different from what everyone imagined, Benitanguiya is a person who loves to laugh. His eyes are almost invisible on his face full of fat. He loves to laugh very silly and exaggerated. But in other people's mouth, this is a "smile of wisdom".

Penny taught his grandchildren this way: "Don't care what you look like, every guy who is afraid of being killed by you at any time but still lives under your kindness will thank you and think you are as beautiful as a god .”

But this gentleman remained as humble as a handful of dirt in front of Pope Alethecus—even if this humility was feigned, just like his devotion to Chemier, which was splendidly decorated.

"Your Majesty, do you really not consider Taxi to lead the team?" Beni bit down his son's name, "The situation on the front line is getting more and more critical—the great Chemiye will definitely not want to see it His people were slaughtered like this?"

Aletech's expression was still indifferent, and he responded: "The decree of the gods has not yet come, so it cannot be determined."

This sentence was categorical, leaving no room for it. Alethek was tired of this kind of probing dialogue, and just wanted to end it earlier so that he could go back to take a bath and meditate.Penny was still trying to say something, but—

There was a faint sense of vibration in the air, and the almost elusive hum was caught by the ears of both of them at the same time.They turned their heads and looked out of the window. A bright yellow pillar of fire rushed up from the corner of the mountain to the sky, which was particularly bright in the clear sky.

Alethek's pupils contracted very slightly, as if thinking of something, but then retracted when Penny looked back.A subtle smile appeared on Benitanguiya's face, as if he was very happy, and he didn't even want to hide this joy in front of His Majesty the Pope.

Alethek glanced at him indifferently, and his heart moved - did he think that Sears was so easy... huh.

His Excellency the Pope said abruptly, "Chemiye will always be by your side."

Benny raised his head in confusion, but saw the old man on the high platform showing an indifferent smile: "That's the end of today's meeting."

Delin woke up from the dark world.

The palm of the right hand was aching, and there was a faint sense of coolness in the burning sensation, but it was hard to detect.He barely opened his eyes, staring blankly at the stone wall above his head.

...Stone wall?

With a jolt, Delin woke up.

Sears was sitting on the sidelines smearing the burns on Delin's hand with green leaf mud—the Anjaka blade fell out of Delin's palm after it hit the ground. Sears wanted to pick it up, but was thrown The sense of danger was overwhelmed.So he picked up the dagger, which was now slowly cooling down, to the edge of the open space, found icy grass, crushed it, and used it as medicine for Delin.

The boy's palm was blurred, the blisters from the scalding had all burst, leaving a piece of dry skin hanging.Seeing that tragic situation made Sears feel distressed, and all the remaining divine power was used together with Ye Ni to heal the wound.

The boy's slight struggle woke up Sears. He turned his head to look at the boy's pale face, and stretched out his hand to touch his forehead: "It's okay, we escaped."

Delin didn't speak, his bones were still crying and aching, he could only look at Sears with his head tilted motionless.

It was dark in the cave and there was no tide.Sears also had some fine wounds on his body.His face was as white as Delin's, and there was some blood splashed on his clothes.A lone fish fell not far from the two of them, struggling helplessly.

Looks like it's going to be dinner.

After applying the medicine to Delin and wrapping it with the more breathable bark leaves he found, Sears let out a sigh of relief.With pain all over his body, he covered Delin's bright eyes with one hand.

"Take a break."

"Where did we fall?"

Sears paused, and responded, "In the lake."

Then the two of them had passed without dying—Derlin even had a premonition, and Sears held him in his arms when he landed.Most of the violent impact was borne by Sears.

Enough of the silence, Delin covered Sears's hand with his still conscious palm, and said in a low voice: "You stay with me."

Sears chuckled lightly, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.But Delin seemed to feel through the laughter that the other party gradually became stable and calm, and even became as indifferent and hard as before.The god made the lord bend down, fell to Delin's left side, and hugged the boy into his arms. "Now there are only two of us left." Sears teased, but his voice was a bit dry.

Delin didn't dare to move his injured right hand, but he was able to lean slightly and rubbed against Sears' arms.A sense of security enveloped him instantly.

Delin closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, but after a while he suddenly said, "Is there a problem with the map?"

Sears was taken aback.
