People are at the junction, but they become the incarnation of the sun

It wasn't until she felt severe pain in her abdomen and Reinhardt kept swatting flies that she realized that she had been swatted away by an axe.

The word "virtue" on the hand ax seemed to be imprinted on her lower abdomen with this blow, as if mocking her weakness.

"Be careful, next time... don't die."

Marlenia, who had just been caught by the butterfly, heard such words. She raised her head and saw Reinhardt raising his left hand. Such an action made her frown.

This move was so familiar to her that she could no longer be familiar with it, and it is still fresh in her memory.

This was how her scarlet corruption was defeated in the first place.

But the person she is now is not the person she was then!

The tip of his toe tapped the water surface, bursting out with unparalleled speed, leaving afterimages on the water surface like the steps of a hound. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Reinhardt.

Touching the water gently again, he turned around gracefully, waving the prosthetic knife tightly in his hand like a water bird spreading its wings.

But Reinhardt's arm also fell, and the fingertips of the knife lightly scratched Marlenia's chest.

At that moment, Marlenia's movements stopped. The sound of waves, water flow, and even the sound of fighting in the distance seemed to disappear. The world fell into a strange silence, and a ray of light fell from the sky.

Looking up, the clouds that originally shrouded Galid had also changed.

God, cracked.

It's not a description, but a literal meaning. The thick dark clouds seemed to be split by something, and a gap was forcibly torn open.

"Holy Sword Escanor."

Reinhardt's indifferent voice sounded slowly.

puff-

Marlenia's chest suddenly split open, and blood spurted out. The scar was so dazzling under the sunlight mixed with the golden tree's light shining from the sky.

Before she could fully react to what happened, her consciousness suddenly became blurred and gradually faded away.

But it wasn't just her consciousness that was far away, it was even the distance between her and Reinhard.

Her mouth moved, but she couldn't hear what she said, so she fell backwards and hit the water.

The butterfly disappeared, and the huge scarlet power of corruption was also purified by the power of the sun, leaving only Marlenia lying there alone.

A large hole was drilled through the ridge behind her, and strong winds blew out of the cave, as if to dispel the scarlet corruption that filled the air.

"Well, I didn't expect it to be quite strong."

Looking at Marlenia who had fallen in front of him, Reinhardt murmured softly and picked up his hand ax again.

This blow can be described as a dimension-reducing blow to the scarlet corruption in Malenia. This time alone, most of the scarlet corruption in Malenia was eliminated.

But he also knew that the scarlet corruption had not yet been eradicated, but had just fallen into a state of slumber.

But it is not that easy to recover, and one can only rely on the power of the fragments of the magic ring in Marlenia's body.

This is also the result he hopes to see. He hopes that the law will be completely lodged in the ring, and it can be cleared away the next time they meet.

Once, he thought he knew a lot about the existence of Elden's Ring, but since coming into contact with Malika, he realized that he knew nothing about the existence of Elden's Ring, and he didn't even know it that well yet.

According to Malika, the Dharma Ring is just a container, a container that carries the law, but its power also needs to be stimulated by a god who possesses the law.

To put it bluntly, it is to instill one's own power into the magic circle.

The ring of law will also give back to the law and amplify this power without limit. This is why it is said that the golden law can even control the fate of stars.

This was exactly what he wanted.

"Your Highness Marlenia!"

At this moment, Finley finally arrived, staggered to Marlenia's side, and knelt down in the water with a thud.

She seemed to be in a bad state, probably because she was affected by the power of scarlet corruption just now and was corrupted again.

But this is innocuous to the Corruption Knights. It is better to say that scarlet corruption is the source of their power.

Like Malenia, she upholds Malenia's will and does not succumb to corruption, but she also uses this power as her own source of strength.

"Take her away, Finley...Marenia is fine, she just fell into a coma temporarily."

After hearing his words, Finley finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the scar on his chest, she thought His Highness was hopeless.

"Thank you, Lord Rhine."

"Well, I have already said that this is one of the purposes of my trip, so there is no need to be polite."

As he spoke, Reinhard suddenly looked around and sneered: "Let's go quickly, there are a group of guys around here who are eyeing us."

After hearing this, Finley subconsciously raised his head and looked around, only to see figures crawling out of the spout of the swamp one after another.

Only the skeleton is left on the whole body, and the appearance is quite scary, like a centipede walking upright, with a sword-edged halberd similar to a war spear in its hand.

These figures slowly approached Marlenia's body, but they seemed not hostile and seemed to be afraid of Reinhard. They knelt down and raised their weapons at a distance.

It looked like he was worshiping the gods.

There are many strange creatures in the border area, such as the maggot-faced man, the pot man, the fingerworm, the bat-body banshee, the white king with stone skin, or the conscious flower Miranda, etc.

And this group of guys is one of them, the Zerg who believe in the scarlet goddess of corruption.

It seems that he felt the power of scarlet corruption and accepted the call.

But he was also a little curious. These guys were obviously entrenched in the large corridor near the Corrupt Lake of Nokstra, which was underground at the Rhea Lucalia Magic Academy. Why did they come here?

Seeing this, Fen Lei also tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand and the long sword at his waist, as if he wanted to fight the insect swarm to the death.

But he stretched out his hand to stop him: "It's not necessary. They are not hostile yet. It seems they are just here to worship their gods. The current task is to take Marlenia away from Galede. We must return to the Holy Tree without stopping. Do you understand?" ?”

"Marlenia is safest only if she returns to the Holy Tree."

Although the Holy Tree has lost Michaela, Michaela's remaining power still provides shelter to the creatures there, and these insects cannot reach there.

That is a wonder built directly on the sea.

"I understand....Thank you again, Your Excellency Rhine."

After Finlay thanked her, he did not leave the ink mark. He picked up Marlenia, who had fallen into a deep coma, and ran towards the shore. He did not forget to always be alert to the changes in the surroundings and clean up the approaching Red Lions.

Those swarms of insects were just as he imagined. They had no intention of chasing or snatching them. Instead, they respectfully made way for Finley and helped her leave. Finally, they slowly retreated, and they didn't know where they went.

All this was seen by Reinhardt.

He knew very well that what the swarm wanted was to welcome back the gods they served, not to take away an empty shell.

But we must always be wary of these guys, as they may not be doing anything secretly.

You know, the IQs of these guys are not low at all, they are even very smart.

It wasn't until Finley's figure completely disappeared from contact with the Holy Tree Army that he slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at Latarn, who was standing with his arms crossed on the other side.

"Lord Latarn, it seems that you are very virtuous, but it will be your turn next."

Uh-huh!With a sudden movement, he pointed the hand ax on his shoulder at Latarn.

He was just joking. He understood why Latarn had not taken action. On the one hand, it was to use Marlenia to observe him.

On the other hand, it was to recover his physical strength. Even though his body was very strong, it was still a battle with [Valkyrie] Marlenia, and he was even eroded by scarlet corruption in the end, which must have consumed a lot of physical strength.

Although doing this seems a bit overwhelming, Reinhardt said that he doesn't care. The main thing is to make a profit.

I just like this kind of old-fashioned behavior.

But apart from that, there wasn't much time left for him. He could now clearly feel that there was not much left of the golden blessing in his body. It was swaying slightly like a candle in the wind and might be extinguished at any time.

"...Rani's knight Reinhardt..."

The deep voice echoed in the swamp, Latarn looked at him and said slowly: "You have become stronger again."

"You're flattering me. Compared with the strongest demigod in the border area, I'm still far behind."

Reinhardt responded with a smile.

Although the other party spoke in a casual tone, there was no sign of seriousness in his eyes, and he even regarded him as an enemy.

"So, Reinhardt, what do you want to do? Are you going to fight me, the Red Lion, on behalf of Lani and Kallia?"

I didn't expect this guy to be quite self-aware.

But he did not nod. Instead, he looked around and said, "Lord Latarn, this is not the place to talk. Please move."

The moment the words fell, Reinhardt's figure suddenly disappeared from the place and appeared in front of Latarn in the blink of an eye.

And the ax in his hand has turned into a huge hammer.

That hammer is very familiar to Rattan. It is the Haimo Hammer from Haimo Classroom!

Feeling the pressure of the wind blowing in front of him, and looking at the sledgehammer coming towards him, the golden pupils on Latarn's dark face suddenly shrank.

This speed is even faster than Marlenia!

He reluctantly picked up two broken star swords and held them in front of him in an attempt to block the attack.

But the moment the two sides touched, Latarn realized that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.

The force coming from above could be said to be the strongest force he had ever encountered in his life. It shook his arms to the point of numbness and made him fly into the sky.

Reinhardt also continued to pursue, leaping high from the ground and chasing in the direction in which Latarn flew.

In this way, the two started a chase, and Latarn was forced step by step to the south of Galid.

"Is that...apprentice?"

Se Lian and others, who passed through the pass of Serlia and cleared out the puppet soldiers, are looking for the place where Master Luset is being held.

But when he noticed the movement and subconsciously looked towards the sky, he saw two shooting stars, one purple and one red, fleeing into the distance.

And Se Lian recognized one of them as his apprentice at a glance.

"It should be, yes."

Lance Sanks nodded in agreement.

They naturally felt everything that happened in the Ionian swamp, even when Malenia blossomed and bloomed with scarlet corruption.

However, the extremely abnormal existence of the three of them has no effect at all.

An ancient dragon, a black knife assassin with a complete destiny of death fragments, and a pyroxene magician who is infinitely close to his origin.

Scarlet Corruption can't make any waves in front of them.
