Rise of the Dark Witch

The terrifying Wolf King made the two great knights Roya and Luke feel deep despair.

died?

He couldn't hold on for even a second and was killed instantly by someone?

Who is it?

They looked in the direction of the Demon Wolf King.

Where the Demon Wolf King should have been standing, only a dazzling white light was seen.

This white light is so bright, but not dazzling at all.

The light contains surging vitality, making everyone who is illuminated by the light feel extremely comfortable.

Not long ago, everyone around except the two great knights Roya and Luke fainted because of the roar of the Demon Wolf King.

But under the illumination of this light, the fainted person woke up leisurely.

"So warm and comfortable."

"This light is similar to the great knight's light of life, but how could the great knight emit such a dazzling light of life?"

"Where is the Demon Wolf King? Is he dead?"

One way, two ways, three ways...

Everyone's eyes were focused on that dazzling light.

Under people's gaze, the white light gradually faded.

A beautiful woman wearing silver-white exquisite armor, with silver hair dancing in the wind, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old came into view.

"ah?"

"What!"

Everyone was stunned.

Their eyes were wide open, their mouths were wide open, and their faces were full of disbelief.

The woman is beautiful.

She is definitely the most beautiful woman that everyone present has ever seen in real life, and all the words to describe her beauty cannot be overstated.

But the reason why everyone was so upset was not because of the woman's beauty.

Instead, the surface of the woman's skin is condensed with vitality, forming a barrier like armor - the Armor of Glory!

This is the glorious armor that only the Paladin can condense!

This stunning woman is a paladin!

Although everyone present had never seen this woman before, they had already guessed the other party's identity the moment they knew the identity of the other paladin.

The daughter of Earl Naranga, the pride of Silian Province, one of the five holy knights of the Shenglan Kingdom, also known as the White Comet—Sejie Carter Naranga!

Although there were some doubts in the hearts of those present.

For example, why would the extremely noble Paladin come here?

For example, why is it that Paladin Sejie, who is the daughter of Earl Naranga in her nineties and should be almost seventy years old now, looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old?

But none of this matters!

The important thing is——

Paladin!

The end of all knights, the being that everyone admires, the protagonist in dramatic poetry...

The Paladin is here!

"I have seen the Lord Paladin——"

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! …

Everyone present knelt down, and many people had tears in their eyes.

Seeing that even Luke knelt down, Roja knelt down without hesitation.

Paladin Sejie looked at the people kneeling down and didn't care.

But his eyes lingered on Roja and Luke for a moment, especially Roja.

Finally, Sejie's eyes fell on Luke.

"You wrote the letter asking for help, right?" Sejie asked.

"Yes, that's right!" Luke replied excitedly.

"Lead the way." Sejie said.

"...Now?" Luke was stunned for a moment.

"Is there any problem?" Sejie frowned slightly.

"The wolf plague has just ended, and there are still many things..." Luke spoke hesitantly. After all, he was being watched by the Paladin and was under a lot of pressure.

As soon as Luke opened his mouth to explain, the people around him immediately persuaded him.

"Baron Luke, Lord Paladin Sejie's orders take precedence."

"That's right, the Demon Wolf King is dead. The other wolves are running away to death. There is no threat at all."

"You can rest assured to leave the aftermath to us. You don't have to worry about doing things with Lord Holy Knight Sejie."

"Being able to help Lord Paladin is what every knight dreams of. Don't miss it, Baron Luke."

"Yes, yes, please don't refuse."

After everyone's persuasion, Luke nodded with a complicated expression.

After seeing Luke agree, Sejie looked at Roja and said, "You can come too."

"Um...I'm extremely sorry..." Roja raised his right hand that had become blackened due to magic erosion, "I was seriously injured in the battle with the Demon Wolf King, and I may not be able to accompany you, Lord Holy Knight..."

As he spoke, Roja showed an extremely regretful expression.

It was as if he felt very sad that he could not walk with the paladin whom he respected so much.

However, Roja found that his superb acting skills had no effect, because Sejie did not listen to his excuse at all, but just stared at him with unquestionable eyes.

The corners of Roja's eyes twitched.

He really doesn’t want to go with Sejie!

Sejie is obviously planning to go to the source of this wolf disaster - the depths of the Yakara Mountains.

It may not be visible to the naked eye, but through the evidence of the two souls, Roja can clearly see the blood rising into the sky like a volcanic eruption deep in the Yakara Mountains, dyeing half of the sky red.

You can see the scarlet skull in the center of the blood vortex high in the sky.

A great knight like him is already an extremely powerful person in the eyes of ordinary people.

But in front of truly powerful people, such as wizards, he is just an ant!

This time he followed Sejie to the depths of the Yakara Mountains. If he encountered danger, he would only die.

This lifestyle of entrusting one's life in the hands of others and relying on luck to survive is definitely not the lifestyle Roja wants.

Roja stood still for a long time.

He didn't want to act with Sejie at all.

The people around him began to persuade Roja just like they had advised Luke just now.

Roja's eyes flickered, and his brain was thinking quickly, wondering what kind of reasons Sejie should find to let him go.

At this moment, Luke turned towards him and shook his head slightly.

Reason for rejection?

Traveling to the Yakara Mountains can lead to death.

But rejecting a paladin...

No, it should be that if you reject a wizard in public, you are more likely to die!

After thinking about it, Roja could only nod with difficulty.

…

In Silla Town, which was in ruins due to the wolf plague.

People watched the three people walking away.

"It's a great knight and a paladin. Am I really not dreaming?"

"It's worth it to be able to see the great knight fighting with my own eyes and to be able to hear the paladin speak."

"Is it possible for us to catch up with them in our lifetime?"

“I really want to follow you, I really want to see the Paladin fight with my own eyes.”…

As the figures of the three Rojas disappeared at the end of the horizon, everyone reluctantly looked back.

They turned and looked around.

The corpses of ferocious wolves lay on the ground, and the mutilated people fell down unwillingly with swords in their hands...

The bright red blood continued to flow on the ground, turning into small streams and gathering towards the low-lying areas...

The once prosperous town of Silla has now been reduced to ruins, with almost all the houses collapsed and the roads broken...

Although they won this battle, they also lost almost everything.

The hearts in their hearts that had become hot due to the arrival of the Holy Knight gradually turned cold.

Tears fell silently.

One, two, three...

As if it was contagious, everyone present was silently crying.

"The battle is over, may you rest in peace."
