Chapter 375
Blood continuously flowed from Bai Yan's neck, entering the mouth of the Scarlet Moon. He remained indifferent to this.
Her heart was filled with joy and calmness.
Finally, Bai Yan pushed the Scarlet Moon away once again.
"What's wrong? Aren't you used to it yet?"
After sucking the blood, the Scarlet Moon calmly looked at Profligate sitting beside her and said, "There's no use in trying to escape. I will find you... and from now on, you won't be able to rid yourself of me. You will always exist as a reserve of food for me."
"Your words sound too arrogant, shouldn't it be that you can't leave me?"
Bai Yan, sitting on the other side of the carriage, shook his head.
He smiled, ignoring the Scarlet Moon's deliberate arrogance.The Scarlet Moon also fell silent, simply sitting quietly on the other side of the carriage.
They continued to follow the Knight Order, journeying together.
This time, the Savior Bai Yan not only sent the Scarlet Moon, but also ventured into the otherworld himself to personally fulfill the mission.
Because he was always curious about the world outside of Noah, he knew that if given the chance, he definitely wanted to go and see it for himself.
Oh, the otherworld.
Although the world he found himself in after crossing over was already considered an otherworld compared to his hometown, Bai Yan still wanted to see more of the otherworlds.
Two days later, the knight's team stopped at a small town in the outskirts of a holy city to resupply.
However, Bai Yan didn't let anyone discover his presence. Instead, he silently observed everything.
Even though it was just a weekly mission, the process took much longer than expected.
However, Bai Yan had already known from watching Aurora's livestreams that the flow of time in this world was not the same as in Noah's world.
Instead, it was about two and a half times as much.
Although it had been two days here, in Noah's world, it should have only been less than a day.
--
The night had fallen.
The Knights of the Sacred Heart rested together in the inn of the small town.
Aurora, all alone in a room, hadn't even taken off her golden armor. Instead, she lit an oil lamp and carefully examined the yellowed parchment scroll.
"Strange, I've never seen this type of material before."
Aurora furrowed her brows slightly as she discovered that the object in her hand wasn't actually a parchment scroll, but merely resembled one.
In fact, it was made of a special material that she had never seen before, one that was quite intricate. It didn't look like any natural material.
"..."
Aurora shook her head, unsure of what significance this clue held.
Something she had never seen before.
The small town they currently lived in was located very close to the headquarters of the Heavenly God Church, a bustling city with a population of at least several hundred thousand, thriving with people coming and going.
It looked completely different from the post-apocalyptic scenes in other regions.
However, Aurora knew one thing very well: the former small town didn't actually have so many people before.
It was because Decaying Disasters would never occur around the Holy City that the small town had attracted several times the population in these few years.
In fact, there were even more people pouring into the Holy City, and as a result, there were problems with security and prices.
Aurora couldn't fall asleep, so she left her room and ventured alone to the stable.
While pondering, she fed her Dragon Blood War Horse with night grass.
"I always feel that something is strange, not right... What could it be?"
The Dragon Blood War Horse snorted heavily, its nostrils making a loud sound.
It greatly enjoyed the way it was treated.
For so many years, this Dragon Blood War Horse had been like a family member to Aurora.
Aurora suddenly looked startled, as someone approached.
"Aurora, is it you who has returned?"
A voice came from outside the stable.
Aurora, who had sensed it all along, turned around and saw the towering figure of an orc standing outside the door.
That was a white bear man, over two meters tall, wearing gray armor, and carrying a huge blade on his back.
This blade was quite enormous, possibly close to three meters in length.
It was not a weapon meant for dealing with humanoid creatures at all.
Aurora knew that it was a weapon meant for fighting dragons and giants... the Dragonslayer Sword.
"Knight Bernard, are you here?"
Aurora had already recognized that the white bear-like creature in front of her was none other than one of the three knight commanders of the Heavenly God Church.
The three knight commanders are all esteemed and respected figures within the Heavenly God Church, holding high positions of authority and admiration.
Aurora knew that the knight commander standing before her, Bernard, was the only beastman among the three. He had earned the title of knight commander through relentless battles, slaying monsters and enemies, and protecting the people, which ultimately granted him this exceptional honor.
His noble character was spoken of by all.
"Um, it's me, Aurora."
The polar bear beastman's tone was somewhat solemn, as if hesitating about something.
"Why did you come here?"
Aurora spoke right away, "We are going back to the Holy City this time to discuss something with King Silger. It's a very important matter!"
"Is what you want to talk about related to the Decaying Disaster?" Bernard, the polar bear beastman, suddenly asked.
"Yes."
Aurora nodded without hesitation and shared all the information she knew.
Of course, she didn't reveal the matter of the Babel Tower.
The bear-like creature Bernard fell silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, you should not have come back, Aurora."
He unfastened the enormous sword strapped to his back.
"We should not be enemies... Why is it like this..."
"Hmm?"
Aurora realized that something was wrong.
In the next moment, a tall and muscular bear-like creature, with a massive dragon-slaying sword in hand, swung it fiercely towards Aurora's head!
Without mercy!
"Sir Knight!"
Aurora swiftly moved back, barely evading the colossal dragon-slaying blade.
"Boom!"
In the midst of a tremendous roar, the terrifying power shook everything around. The earth cracked, and the inn crumbled in an instant.
Amidst the swirling dust, Aurora's heart felt a pang of sorrow. She knew that the ordinary people inside the inn would not survive.
Before my eyes, Bernard, the knight captain... no matter what kind of person he used to be, now he can only be my enemy!
She swung the lance made of radiance, thrusting it towards the knight captain, only to have it easily blocked by the colossal Dragon Slayer Sword.
"Aurora, do you still wish to fight me?"
The polar bear beastman swung his weapon, relentlessly attacking without defending.
Every time he brandished his weapon, it unleashed a tremendous power, capable of shredding even a dragon into pieces in an instant.
But Aurora, unfazed, wielded a spear nearly three meters long with just one hand, matching his strength blow for blow.
She had become much stronger.
The two enormous weapons continuously clashed, making it hard to determine the winner.
"Huh?"
Bernard, the knight captain, found it unbelievable the strength that Aurora had displayed. After all, when she had initially defected from the church, she hadn't even reached the level of a Crown.
What is happening to her power now?
The Chosen Gun!
Aurora took a deep breath, her body enveloped in divine energy, emitting a radiant golden light.
She leaped forward like a golden shooting star, fiercely colliding with Sir Bernard's Dragon-Slaying Greatsword.
"Boom!"
A crack appeared.
The Chosen Gun!
Aurora once again became imbued with divine power, and she lunged towards the Dragon-Slaying Sword with another mighty strike.
"Bang!"
The crack grew even larger.
"Ouch!"
Bernard, the knight commander, let out a furious roar like a wild warrior. In an instant, his body radiated a bright red light, leaping several tens of meters into the air. With immense strength, he swung his mighty dragon-slaying sword towards Aurora!
Aurora gazed at him.
The Chosen Gun!
Third time! Third strike!
"Bam!"
In an instant, the Dragon Slayer Sword was shattered into pieces!
"You have become powerful, Aurora,"
Sir Bernard, kneeling on the ground, looked at the towering and muscular white bear man, who was dripping with blood but had a calm expression.
"But it was no use anymore... No matter what I tried, it was all useless."
Aurora stood in front of Bernard, pointing her lance towards his chest, but she didn't thrust it any further.
"Bernard, please tell me the whole truth!"
She had realized that the nearby holy city might not be the place she should go to.
But why was all of this happening?
