Chapter 133 The Two-Faced Saint is a Big Shot (19)
Shi Qi frowned, feeling a slight pain as he tried to move his wrist away, but he couldn't move it at all.
Badr said in a deep voice, "Don't move, let me wipe it for you properly." As he spoke, he applied even more pressure to his hands.
"Hiss..." Shi Qi frowned and whispered, "Let go!...You're hurting my wrist..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Qi felt his hand being picked up, and then he felt a soft touch on his hand.
Badr kissed Shi Qi's hand lightly: "It has to hurt so you'll remember not to get too close to other people in front of me."
Shi Qi: "..."
007: "No way, is he crazy?!"
Frederick and the others, who were busy fighting off the evil creature not far away, did not notice Shi Qi's unusual action of "suddenly raising his hand" and remained focused on the danger in front of them.
Gradually, some knights began to fall due to exhaustion or being no match for their opponents.
As they fought, an evil creature, out of their sight, was gradually approaching the location where Shi Qi was.
Badr quickly sensed the approach of the evil entity and called out, "Ister, behind you!" In his memory, Ister was just a mortal with no strength to even kill a chicken.
Upon hearing this, Shi Qi turned around and saw a hideous, malevolent creature hurtling towards him. The visual shock caused his eyes to widen involuntarily, but he reacted quickly. Just as he was about to raise his hand to unleash his power of light, a figure stepped between him and the creature...
Frederick shielded Shi Qi with his body, staggering backward and landing right in Shi Qi's arms. He coughed heavily twice, blood trickling from the corner of his lips, then mustered his strength and swung his sword to decapitate the evil creature.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" His first question was to turn around and ask about Shi Qi's condition.
Shi Qi shook his head, frowning, and said, "That's the question I should be asking you..."
The two were standing very close to each other, which made Baldr very unhappy. However, since the other party had saved Shi Qi, he couldn't say anything too offensive. He could only say unhappily, "You have the power of light to protect you, so this evil thing can't harm you."
Shi Qi didn't react to what he said, but simply helped the injured Frederick to sit down: "You rest here first, I'll take care of things here."
Frederick propped himself up with his hands, trying to get up, but Shi Qi pressed him back down: "Don't move. If you get hurt even more, I won't be able to explain it to your father." The implication was that he shouldn't cause any trouble now.
Knowing that continuing his actions would only hinder Shi Qi, Frederick abandoned the idea of getting up and could only admonish, "Your Majesty, please be careful."
Shi Dian nodded, stood up and walked towards the other knights: "Everyone, try to bring the evil creatures towards me, I will purify them."
The knights hesitated upon hearing this, for the Pope's life was not something they could joke about. Just then, Frederick's voice rang out: "All knights! Do as His Holiness the Pope commands!"
As the Grand Master of the Knights, Frederick's words carried more weight than those of the Pope, who had no connection to them. After all, once Frederick spoke, the responsibility fell to him.
Upon receiving his command, the knights sprang into action, gradually approaching Shi Qi's direction. Shi Qi accepted all comers; for every evil spirit the knights lured in, he would purify it.
It must be said that the power of light from the God of Light is really useful. Not only is it powerful, but you don't have to worry about it running out. It's very easy to use.
Badr stood not far away, watching Shi Qi continuously raise his hand to purify the attacking evil spirits, even as fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He then gave a cold glance to the "culprit" Frederick on the ground.
Frederick, who was also watching the situation on Shi Qi's side, suddenly felt a chill and shivered uncontrollably. Of course, not knowing the reason, he could only attribute it to his injury.
The power of light worked swiftly, and the evil in the area was quickly cleared away. However, their mission was not yet complete; they had to find the core of this massive contaminated site as soon as possible.
Shi Qi returned to Frederick's side and asked, "Can we continue?"
Frederick nodded firmly. He wanted to continue following Shi Qi on the next step; otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease.
Seeing him prop himself up to get up from the ground, Shi Qi reached out his hand to him, and Frederick used Shi Qi's hand to stand up: "Your Majesty, let's continue on our way. We can't stay here for too long."
The more seriously injured knights were sent back the way they came, while the rest continued their journey to find the core of the defiled land.
Suddenly, Badr's voice rang out: "You are heading in the wrong direction. The core of the contaminated area is in the southeast."
Shi Qi paused for a moment, then subtly led the group towards the path to the southeast, still thinking that Badr wouldn't offer him any help...
Badr hadn't originally intended to help them, but when he saw Shi Qi, who had been sitting comfortably in the back row, personally purifying them, he softened. He didn't want to see Shi Qi waste his time on such trivial matters anymore.
"Thank you..." A very soft thank you reached Badr's ears; if He weren't a god, He probably wouldn't have heard it at all.
"I just don't want to see you doing useless work." Although he said it so arrogantly, the corners of some gods' lips still couldn't help but curl up.
Badr's favorability +5
Following the direction Badr indicated, the number of evil creatures around them gradually increased, which was strong evidence that they were getting closer to the core of the contaminated land.
As the group approached the defiled area, the number of evil creatures around them increased dramatically, some even developing sentience and becoming quite difficult to deal with. In particular, their "strongest fighter," Frederick, was injured; while he could still move freely, it did somewhat diminish his attack power.
Seeing the knights gradually losing ground, Shi Qi knew that if Baldr didn't intervene soon, he would have to fight.
While keeping an eye on his surroundings, Shi Qi slowly moved towards a fallen soldier. Then, Shi Qi crouched down and took the longsword from the knight's hand.
Before they could rush over, the surrounding evil creatures suddenly vanished into thin air, just as if they had been purified by the power of light.
It seems Bader did make a move after all.
