I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Time went back to the moment when the fist hit Roa's abdomen.

Because it was a hasty punch, the force was not very strong, and Roa didn't feel anything was wrong.

But at the moment when the power dissipated, a new pain came from the place where the hand contacted the abdomen, not from the effect of "force", but from another level.

In an instant, Roa felt like a fire was burning in his belly, burning his skin, muscles, and internal organs, and his brain was also frantically alarming, reminding him that death was approaching.

Instinctively, he looked down to confirm that the pain just now was not an illusion. His abdomen was indeed melting, and his skin, muscles, and internal organs were disintegrating layer by layer from the outside to the inside.

That was a way he couldn't understand.

It's not magic. He, who was a great magician in the first generation, failed to capture the traces of the flow of magic power and the composition of the technique.

It wasn't an ancient mystery like the "Seventh Holy Scripture". He didn't feel the unique atmosphere of period artifacts or fantasy species.

What exactly is that? It can't be felt at all on the surface, but it can cause so much damage to the Death Apostle-turned-self-could it be-! ! !

A memory that had long been forgotten by him emerged. At the beginning of eighteen reincarnations and eight hundred years of vast memory, he was still a human being, before he became a Dead Apostle, let alone before he began to reincarnate. At that time, he was still a member of the Holy Church, running around in order to fight against the increasingly prevalent vampires, and finally gathered countless manpower and material resources to successfully create a burial mechanism that would be feared in later generations.

At the beginning of the establishment of the organization, the church gave it its full support and gave it whatever it asked for. Even the saint's personal weapon was taken out, and all the dead disciples who were touched by this sacred object were severely injured. Think about it, even the holy cloth wrapped around the saint's corpse can cause damage to vampires, let alone the saint's side weapon?

The wounds at that time were exactly the same as now. The dead apostles, who were classified as unclean, were purified by the power of the saint, showing a state of melting and evaporating.

"Uh-huh--you, are you--a saint of the church?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, including Aranya, including Hiyer and Kallen who were born in the church.

Before they could ask, Roa continued to make a heartbreaking voice: "No, it's impossible. How can there be saints in modern times?"

"The existence of saints has nothing to do with the times, but with people's hearts. Although I am not a saint, I am willing to believe that there are saints in modern times."

The female magician raised her hand to the severely injured Roa, apparently intending to purify him directly.

The black shadow flashed, and Araya Sect's bear-like body blocked the painful companion.

"Do you still want to protect him now?"

"He holds the key to achieving my goal. He cannot die here." Araya's expression was as cold as stone.

"Yeah, then let's continue the fight between us."

The female magician said as she adjusted the direction of the four mechanical arms on her body and aimed at Araya at the same time.

Araya raised his hands expressionlessly, and the barrier and Vajra body were opened at the same time. A war between the church saints and the Buddhist Vajra was about to begin.

At this moment, Hier, a little further away, watching the battle and protecting Kallen, suddenly shouted.

"careful!"

Before he could finish speaking, Roa, who was blocked by Aranya, pressed his hand on the ground. White smoke quickly spread around Roa's hand, centering on Roa's hand, and suddenly enveloped a space of dozens of meters in radius.

The density of the smoke was very high, which greatly affected the line of sight. In addition, it was still dark, so even with magic to enhance vision, the visibility was still less than one meter.

The female magician who was tricked by the little trick snorted softly, and the four mechanical arms fired at the same time.

But at this time, Araya was no longer where he was, and it was obvious that he had planned it.

The female magician continued to shoot, looking around vigilantly, as if to capture the enemy's movements.

Soon, she seemed to have discovered something. The four mechanical arms switched from shooting mode to moving mode, carrying her body to move somewhere quickly.

The smoke was broken by the rotating mechanical arms, revealing three figures, one tall and two short. The tall one was Araya, and the short ones were Hiyer and Kallen.

Seeing the arrival of the female magician, Araya turned around and escaped into the thick fog without any hesitation.

The female magician was about to chase after her, but then turned back to look at the depressed Kallen and Hiyer - the former had an old injury that had not healed, and the latter had withstood Araya's attack with her body in order to protect the former. Finally, she sighed and gave up the pursuit.

She knew clearly that the enemy's purpose was to escape, and that the enemy's purpose was to use Kallen and Hiyer to contain her, but after all, she could not watch the two girls being put in danger.

By the time the thick fog cleared and the vision was restored, Roa and Araya had disappeared without a trace.

After launching a certain spell and making sure there was no one around, the female magician took off her ceremonial clothes and asked the two girls:

"Are you guys okay?"

"I'm fine, but Karen just——"

Siyer touched the newly healed wound and climbed up from Kallen's body. She had maintained this position before. It was Kallen who saved her just now, now it's her turn to protect Kallen.

Hiyer has the highest level of immortality in the world and is not afraid of injury, but Kallen does not. After being defeated by Roa, her condition has not improved.

Despite this, she gritted her teeth and stood up.

"I'm fine too, thank you for saving us."

"Don't be brave, lie down on this and I'll take you to a safe place."

The female magician stretched out her hand and patted the removed dress a few times, and the backpack as a connecting point extended outward to form a small platform.

"Many thanks."

Hiyer quickly put Kallen on the platform and bowed to the female magician, who waved her hand.

"It's nothing, it's easy. But my condition is a bit special and I can't treat Miss Kallen."

"It's okay, I can do it myself."

Even if the female magician offered to treat Kallen, Hiyer would not dare to agree. Kallen's power comes from the Death Apostles. The female magician can purify Roa, and naturally she can also purify Kallen.

Hiyer's treatment methods are very skillful. She was Kallen's first instructor after joining the Burial Agency. Every time Kallen was injured and bruised during training, she was the one who would treat her. Over time, she became proficient and could even talk to the female magician while treating her.

After communicating for a while, Hiyer finally asked the question she wanted to ask the most.

"Are you really not a saint of our church?"

The female magician still shook her head: "I'm really not a saint, I'm just a wandering magician."

"My name is Hiyer. Can you tell me your name? If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it."

"Nothing inconvenient."

Seeing Hiyer's frightened look, the female magician smiled. She took off her hat and veil, revealing a face that was as clear and clean as her voice.

"My name is Fiore."

PS: There should be many clues already, and Fiore’s secret can be seen to some extent.
