"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

Continuous explosions resounded in the outskirts of Northmar. If Northmar is not a dead city at this time, I am afraid that screams of panic have already sounded in every corner of the city.

But now, only the nine Kiritos who were waiting patiently in the church were able to hear the bursts of noise from this battle.

The sound of such a shaking mountain makes it hard not to think of natural disasters such as earthquakes. However, this natural disaster-like movement was caused by two people.

At first, Kirito was still wondering, even if there was a battle between the awakenings, he and others wouldn't be able to help. However, in fact, it is exactly the case.

In such an exaggerated battle, they really couldn't do anything.

Not to mention intervening to help, I am afraid that even watching the game will be involved.

Besides, if they really help, who are they going to help?

Help Barn or Obes?

Then again, they didn't know the reason for the two people fighting, how to help and how to solve it.

Under their influence, the head of Bath, who had been calm and indifferent, did not seem to be such an impulsive person at all. So, is it Obes?

That's even more impossible.

Although they had only been in contact for such a short period of one or two hours, the impression that Obeys gave them was the kind of gentle and cheerful big sister next door. How could such a sister fight Barn for no reason.

But now it is meaningless to investigate the cause, they can only wait here.

"Damn it!"

Klein hammered the armrest of the chair: "Why did they fight!?"

"Who knows?" Paris shrugged: "Learning, looking at each other, weakening the strength of the priesthood church...If you want a reason, you can have as many as you want."

"But judging from this movement, it must be true that both sides have already acted, and there must be a victory or defeat."

"...Miss Paris, are the battles between the awakenings so terrifying?"

"Divided into occupations."

Looking at Lifa, Paris said faintly: "If it were a duel between the two sword saints, then there would definitely not be such a big movement. But now, it is a duel between the apocalypse and the sword saint."

"If you want to restrain the sword master's exquisite sword skills, you must use a wide range of high-damage skills. And the Apocalypse has just a few such skills."

"But if you want to ask who can win in the end, it depends on each person."

In this sentence, Paris touched the point.

Although the situation of the same strength, the situation of professional restraint still exists. However, there is no obvious restraint in the transfer system of the Juggernaut and the priesthood. So who can win depends really only on personal strength and skills.

But as I said before, the sword saint Barn didn't have much experience in fighting the strong. But what about Obes? That was to follow Xie Ming to fight north and south.

The sky city, the dark city, the sky curtain behemoth, and the last black earth. When did she and her companion face an enemy above the Awakening Realm?In the end, even witnessed the real battle between the realms above the awakening.

Over the years, she has continued to travel around the mainland, and she is also digesting the combat experience of more than a year.

The biggest difference between this profession of Paladin and other professions is that the improvement of realm does not require much combat experience and practice. For the Paladin, the improvement of strength is the understanding of the Holy Light, the application of the Holy Light, and the degree of piety of the faith.

Unlike skill occupations that require constant practice and familiarity, as long as you understand the holy light skills, you can use them naturally.

If you compare Obes with other people who are still training in the Tower of Despair, perhaps she is the weakest in combat ability. However, when you compare it outside, Obeys is definitely not inferior to anyone.

What's more, everyone believed that Obeth was awakened by the Paladin to become the Apocalypse. But Obes said it from the beginning when he introduced himself.

She is a preacher.

A preacher who spreads the gospel of the Holy Light to the world.

Kneeling on one knee, the black knight's uniform was already full of burn marks caused by the holy light at this time, and Barn staggered to his feet.

"You... are not the apocalypse."

"I never said that I am the Apocalypse, Mr. Barn."

He held a gospel book composed entirely of holy light in his left hand, and held the giant cross in his right hand with ease. Behind the scenes, the white wings that were originally illusory and vague have reached the level of being visible to the naked eye.

But if you look more closely, you seem to be able to find a pair of fuzzy wings hidden in these white wings.

"Awakening is only an increase in realm, an increase in the degree of grasp of power. And these, which drive the improvement of life."

Obess said softly, "But in the end, it remains the same."

"Just as Mr. Barn is a sword master, but in essence a sword soul, an expert in the use of sword weapons. The sword is your foundation. To the Paladin, the holy light and faith are also our foundation."

"Further close to the Holy Light and God's will, and use the light of judgment to make judgments. This is the path of the apocalypse and the path that most paladins take. But this does not mean that this is the only way."

"God has two sides. Stern, and loving."

"A stern God, judges sins. A loving God, heals the pain in people's bodies and hearts with warmth."

"The pain in the body is healed by the Holy Light. The deficiencies in the soul are filled by the gospel."

"Whether you believe it or not, he is by your side and with you. This is the path I chose to save and heal more people."

"It's not a simple trial from aloft, but using one's own actions to save those who are still in dire straits and bring the holy light to the abyss without light."

"I am not a judge, I am a preacher."

"I am, the evangelist."

"....... That's why the guy named Xie Ming likes you?"

"Mr. Barn, you are wrong again."

The gospel in his hand and the wings behind his back slowly dissipated, and Obes smiled: “Except for one of the members of our adventure team, except for Xie Ming who wants her to stay, everyone else, including me, took the initiative to join. In the team."

"We are all the existence that is holding him back. Even now, we are not confident that we can keep up with him."

"But at least, the distance between us and him now is no longer as far away as before."

"Mr. Barn, the reason you came to talk to me. Actually, you just want to ask about this, right?"

"I don't know if my answer like this gives you a satisfying answer."

"..."

Take out the recovery potion from the space bag, drink it, and retract the short sword into the scabbard. Barn did not answer, but after a deep glance at Obes, he turned and left.

Watching Barn's figure leave his range of perception, Oberston staggered, barely supporting himself with the giant cross in his hand.

Yes, this match really ended with her victory. However, the process is more difficult than imagined.

If you think about it, you can understand that she is walking as an evangelist who symbolizes loving kindness, and she plays a supporting role. The fighting ability is not absent, but it must be weaker than the apocalypse symbolizing judgment.

Even if the Apocalypse came over, she might not have been able to fight the battle-based sword master, but she was a gospel evangelist who won. The consumption is naturally extremely huge.

The defeated Bath still has a certain amount of power to fight again. But what about her? Because of the huge consumption, I don't even want to move a finger now.

He insisted on saying good or bad, and finally persuaded the other party to leave. Now, I can finally rest for a while.

——————————

The outcome of Obes and Barn can be seen from Barn's dress. This result made everyone deeply understand how far away he is from the truth now.

While guaranteeing your own life, continue to grow stronger and become stronger. In this way, they can get closer to the truth of the world, the truth about why players like them will be teleported to this world.

The return of Bath means that they can leave this deadly empty city. After all, everyone's purpose has been achieved.

Although Asuna and others did not find the source of the plague, Obeys's statement was sufficient. Bath, also obtained information from Belmar in the city hall. Seeing this information, Barn felt that he had to go back to the empire.

But what about these guys? Kirito and Lifa are still members of their own Knight Order in name.

It's not impossible to take it back directly like this. Barn didn't know what to do with it. After all, God knows what arrangements the player behind the scenes has for this group of players.

But Barn thought about it again, and he was worried about this. What arrangements should the chess player have, he will naturally act. He only needs to do his own thing, that's enough.

You don’t have the right to choose, so you might as well give the right to choose to these ‘two chess pieces’.

As for how they choose, it doesn't matter to them. He doesn't have that strong strength, and what he can protect is extremely limited.

Everyone of Kirito, even the members of the Knights, are not within his protection. What he needs to do is only necessary, the responsibility of the team leader.

"Kirito, Lifa."

"Yes, captain."

"Because of an important matter, I must go back to the Empire."

Barn said calmly: "Are you two going back to the empire with me, or will you continue to stay here with your friends?"

"Head, this..."

Of course I want to be with my friends.

Lifa almost blurted out this sentence. But after thinking about it, he still fell into hesitation. After all, his current identity is an imperial knight. If you say that, who knows if it will cause any trouble.

Only Kirito remembered the night before his transfer, Barn chatted with him alone. So after a moment of silence, he replied softly."Captain, our initial mission for this trip was to investigate the Skyshroud Giant Beast. But so far, this mission has not been completed. If we go back like this, it is likely to cause some trouble."

"But commander, you also have important things and you must return to the empire. Therefore, the subordinates feel that the commander can act separately from the two subordinates. In this way, the commander will not have any trouble going back, and the emperor shouldn't. What opinion will it be."

"..."

Glancing at Kirito faintly, Barn said blankly: "Well, you have a comprehensive view."

"Then, just do what you think. However, I believe you know what it means to leave."

"Yes, the subordinate understands."

Kirito replied in a low voice: "It means that our two lives will no longer be protected by the leader."

"Just understand. This is a choice you made yourself."

Leaving this sentence, Barn turned the horse's head and galloped in the other direction. Lifa who was silent, and Kirito who was relieved.

"Finally, I left the depressed prison completely."

"Head, is it a bad person or a good person..." Lifa said somewhat complicatedly: "Said he is a good person, but he is stealing information, and he still has the idea of ​​quitting. But saying that he is a bad person... Along the way, he also gave us a lot of care and taught us a lot of knowledge."

"Captain Barn is not a bad person, nor a good person, he is just an ordinary person."

Kirito smiled bitterly and touched Lifa's head.

"He takes care of us and does his duty. Taking care of Klein and Liz is also on the premise that they will not cause trouble. But he has more important things than us."

"So, he can make a decision without hesitation. This is not something incomprehensible."

"All in all, be happy. So far, we finally escaped from the imperial cage. Moreover, we also met Asuna and others. This is something that deserves our happiness."

"...Yes, it is true, brother."

After Kirito's enlightenment, Lifa also smiled: "When we find a place to change this knight uniform, let's visit Huttonmar with Asuna and others!"

"We don't have funds that can be squandered in our hands?"

Kirito's joke caused Lifa's anger.

"Really, brother! Is your sister the kind of squanderer!?"

"What's the matter? Why did Captain Barn leave suddenly? Kirito, did you do anything?"

"Hey, Liz, I am such a troublesome person in your eyes..."

For a time, the whole team was filled with a happy atmosphere. Seeing all of this, Yui, Ortinus, and Justissa, who were on the earth, were slightly silent.

After Xie Ming's intelligence, they had already reversed Herder's plan. It is precisely because of this that they understand that what awaits these eight players in the future is by no means a light-hearted adventure life.

And they would never escape the level of Di Ruiji.

But the only person who could stop all of this is now silent. Even the three people who have the closest relationship with him can only feel Xie Ming's normal life activities, and they don't know what he is doing.

In the words of Otinus, that is that Xie Ming is now at a key point in a space with an extremely strong barrier of time and space. If they break through the barriers to make contact, it is likely to cause some uncontrollable changes.

"Dad, where are you... Mom, they need your help..."
