But Joachim, with trembling legs, fell to the ground as soon as he took a step.

Then, the space in front of Joachim, who fell to the ground, fluctuated.

A knight-level Houkai beast burning with flames and holding a flame knight's spear slowly appeared and walked towards Joachim.

"Don't... don't come over!"

Hearing the voice, Bronya looked back and shouted, "Get up quickly, Joachim... Joachim!"

Bronya wanted to rush over, but the Houkai beasts surrounded Bronya as if they had sensed it.

Seeing the Houkai beasts that did not fight back when attacked by her, and wanted to stop her with their bodies as if they were suicidal.

Bronya frowned.

These Houkai beasts... are so strange.

At this time, the knight-level Houkai beast of the alien species had already arrived in front of Joachim.

Looking at the trembling Joachim below.

The knight-level Houkai beast of the alien species raised the flame spear in its hand high, and then swung it heavily at Joachim.

"Bang!"

Joachim held his head with his hands in fear and closed his eyes.

Is he... going to die?

When he was facing death, he realized.

He seemed to have a lot of things to do...

But after waiting for a long time, the pain that Joachim imagined did not come.

Wait, I just seemed to hear... gunshots.

Joachim slowly opened his eyes.

The Honkai Beast in front of him had dissipated, and what came into Joachim's eyes was the familiar figure.

Behind Otto were the trees that were set on fire by the alien Honkai Beast.

Otto gritted his teeth and held the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire in one hand, as if because of the pain in his body.

The light of the flames shone on Otto's body, and this scene was deeply reflected in Joachim's heart.

Otto fired several shots in the direction of Bronya and eliminated all the Honkai Beasts surrounding Bronya.

Seeing this, Otto breathed a sigh of relief, "Great... You are all fine..."

"Hehe... It's not easy to avoid Theresa..."

Otto staggered and fell down. Bronya rushed up and hugged Otto, and found that Otto had lost consciousness.

Bronya lifted the priest up with great effort.

This tall man was so weak at this moment.

"He fainted." Bronya looked at Joachim, "Come and help him, he just saved you."

But Joachim just sat there and kept shaking. His appearance made Bronya feel a nameless fire in her heart.

Bronya grabbed the golden pendant that fell to the ground when Otto fell, and threw it at Joachim angrily, "What are you running away from!"

"My past? Or the priest and everyone in the orphanage?"

"Neither, you are just running away from yourself."

"You, a coward!"

Joachim held his head, "I don't know... what to do is right..."

"... There are not so many right and wrong in this world."

"There are only right and wrong things, not people. The so-called right and wrong of a person is just the responsibility he has to bear after doing something."

At this point, Bronya realized.

It turned out that Joachim was not the only coward.

She herself...

But now she has the answer.

Bronya looked at Joachim and said seriously: "Bronya knows this is difficult... Bronya was the same as you before..."

"If you are afraid, then say it out, don't keep silent, don't force yourself to say it's okay, and don't escape."

"Tell those who care about you and those who care about you."

"You still have your family... Don't wait until everything is irreversible to regret it."

Joachim fell silent.

Not far away, many torches lit up.

The children who found that Otto was missing were rushing over in a panic.

...

In the air.

Bella smiled as she watched Bronya and the children send the unconscious Otto back to the cabin.

It seems that Joachim is not the only one who has untied the knot.

Throw the things in his hand from the air to the place where the battle just happened below.

Then Bella looked at Joachim who was silently watching Otto.

In this way, everything that can be done has been done.

Everything will depend on tomorrow.

Ten minutes ago, in Otto's room.

Bella looked at Otto, "What are you going to do next?"

Otto sighed and looked out the window, "I will die tomorrow night at the latest."

"But before I die, there is one thing I must do."

Otto turned to look at Bella, "Bella, I don't know who you are... I clearly have the memory of you and us living together."

"But Yu Duchen told me that you are trustworthy.""I believe in Yu Duchen and its master, so I want you to help me."

Bella knew what Otto was talking about.

Bella nodded, "This is also my purpose. What do you want me to help you with?"

A light appeared in Otto's hand, and a pistol with black and gold colors appeared in Otto's hand.

Bella could sense that the plague gem in her body and the pistol were echoing each other.

This is the key of God in this world... and it is made using the core of the Herrscher of Flame of the previous civilization.

Looking at the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire in his hand, Otto whispered: "I will use my death... to untie Joachim's knot."

...

The next day, in the morning.

Bella and the other two were awakened by Theresa's knock on the door.

Then they came to Joachim's room, but found it empty.

Theresa sighed, "He's gone after all..."

Seeing Bella and the other two fall silent, Theresa shook her head, "Bella, Bronya, Seele, the priest has something to say to us."

Bella and the other two looked at each other and followed Theresa to the deepest room in the orphanage.

Theresa pushed open the door and the four of them walked into the room one by one.

The blond man lay on the bed, trying to turn his body towards them.

Scarlet marks spread over his body, as if to tear him apart.

Bella sighed.

Yesterday's forced use of the Key of God made Otto's already poor health even worse.

Otto's current condition is completely relying on obsession to force his breath.

Otto looked at Theresa, and said weakly, "Theresa, my cross seems to have fallen into the snow."

"Father, you should have a good rest first, I will help you find it." Theresa's voice was crying, "Next week, no, tomorrow, I will take you to the hospital in town, you will get better..."

Otto shook his head, "It's okay, no need. Joachim... is gone?"

Theresa's silence answered his question.

Otto sighed, "Really..."

"I understand his feelings, and the one who made him an orphan... is me."

"It's not the priest's fault."
