"You...are Edward?!"

When Vion Smith came closer and saw clearly that Edward had become a deformed body, his eyes were slightly stern.

Even though he asked himself to be calm and composed, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, until finally he regained his thoughts in the high-pitched voice.

Vion subconsciously looked around, and when he found that in the vast wilderness, except for the two of them, everyone else fell asleep, his voice also became lower.

"How, how could you become like this?"

"I...I don't know either. Just after you all fell asleep, I..."

When Edward heard this, he spoke with multiple voices. After controlling all the hundreds of 'mouths' on his body to close, he spoke tremblingly.

His tone was still full of despair and helplessness. From being the winner in the finale to becoming a monster that he didn't even dare to think about, it only took ten seconds.

Edward, whose nerves were compressed by dense palms and had to squint his eyes, could only place all his hopes on this good partner in front of him.

But before he finished speaking, he found that Vian in his sight was looking at him with a "sad" and "pitying" look.

Edward had seen that look and was familiar with it. At that time, he would only show it when faced with an out-of-control Extraordinary who was about to do something extraordinary. At that time, Edward still remembered that he had teased him, "Vion, you are really holy, just like a goddess."

'

Because of the familiarity, as soon as his eyes made contact, an ominous premonition kept rising in his heart, and a sigh came to his ears at the right time.

"Oh, forget it, those are no longer important. Edward, I...can't save you."

"Vion, are you still resenting me, resenting me for being with Nano while you were in the 'Temple' to digest the potion? In this way, as long as you are willing to save me and help me suppress my loss of control, I can

Give Nano back to you."

The moment the ominous premonition in his heart was confirmed, Edward's eyes widened with a desire for survival that broke out in intense panic.

Even his face, which was trying to smile, became ferocious and terrifying under the squeeze of his muscles, but his eyes were still full of hope.

"Edward, to be honest, you should really see what you are like now. I want to save you, but you are not out of control..."

As the cold moonlight fell, Vion Smith lowered his eyelids and looked down at the man struggling to survive in front of him.

To be honest, he didn't know what happened to Edward, but what was certain was that blindness was by no means the result of out-of-control extraordinary power.

"You said... I'm not out of control?!"

At this moment, all of Edward's persistence and hope turned into confusion. Hundreds of small mouths opened and closed on his body, which he could no longer control, repeating this sentence over and over again.

"No, so you'd better die. You don't want to wait until Flo and the others wake up and see you like this."

Weiang suddenly turned his head and looked at the white shadows passing by the mountains and forests in the distance. His eyes were stern. When he spoke again, his tone became colder.

"You want to kill me? You actually want to kill me?! How dare you!"

In an instant, Edward, whose anger surged up, raised his body with scarlet eyes.

The confusion in his eyes turned into anger and resentment, but the distorted body could not maintain its support.

Then, he fell to the ground with a 'snap', and he looked up at the lonely moon in the sky and the cold light on the long sword named 'Black Moon'.

"Don't forget, Vion, hu~ it was the Seal of the Moon that I issued for you back then, and it was also the Church of the Goddess of the Night that I brought you into, and the Castilla family..."

"I have not forgotten, and I will never forget...but I remember you said when Zeni lost control, 'For the sanctity of the goddess, the Church of the Night will not allow any stains.' Also, I don't want to be trapped in

Here, you believe me, I want to save you..."

"I...."

"Listen to me, old man, Tingen City needs a hero now, a hero who will die for the city, and this can just wipe out the impact of the damage to the goddess statue. Don't worry, it won't hurt too much."

A flash of memory flashed through Vian's eyes, but the long sword in his hand only paused for a moment before it penetrated his heart.

When the warm blood splashed onto his cheeks, Vion's tone softened. The reason he was able to achieve what he did today was indeed thanks to Edward's help, guidance, and even salvation.

But when 'favor' is often talked about, over time, it becomes a shackles. He has reached sequence 6, and it is time to make contributions.

Thinking of this, when Vion met those familiar eyes again, he no longer had any nostalgia. With a strong squeeze of his hands, Edward stopped struggling instantly and soon became silent.

Looking at Edward who was like a puddle of mud, Vion felt not only no sadness at all, but more of relief.

Just as Weiang was preparing to clean up the scene, a figure jumped out of the forest. His startled voice made him turn around suddenly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Hey, Mr. Vion, why did you kill Bishop Edward... Is that Nite's skeleton army?"

"Odd?! It's you, why are you here."

Wei Ang looked at Wang Changle, who was covered in mud and ashes. Although he thought of the white figure he saw before and restrained the idea of ​​taking action, the suspicion in his eyebrows did not dissipate.

There was no way, the timing of Wang Changle's appearance was too coincidental, and it was so coincidental that he had a terrible idea in his heart.

"I killed the mission target and I'm still sticky. Of course I wanted to go home and wash myself off."

Wang Changle shrugged, and his inquiring eyes kept looking back and forth between Edward and Vian.

As for the dirt and ashes on his body, they were naturally disguised deliberately. Originally, he wanted to cause some wounds, but Li was too strong in body defense and recovery, and he recovered within a few seconds.

"Odd, you said you killed Nite, the 'fanatic' Nite?"

Wei Ang's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously ignored the timing of Wang Changle's appearance, and even raised his voice a few points.

Originally attacked by two zombies and a tide of skeletons, he was still suspicious that Odd was also a member of the leader group, but now this man not only appeared intact, but also claimed to have killed the troublesome guy they all saw.

"Yes, to be honest, if this guy hadn't released the skeleton army in advance, I might not have been able to succeed."

When Wang Changle saw the flash of surprise and surprise in Wei Ang's eyes, he understood that Wei Ang knew about this in advance.

The smile on his face deepened even more as he spoke. He originally planned this situation just to get rid of Edward with a 'knife', trigger a riot and gain some benefits, and finally wait until the incident subsided before reappearing.

In this way, you can not only achieve what you want, but also remove yourself from the incident, and even take the opportunity to muddy the water even more.

But after hearing about the 'Castilla Family', Wang Changle changed his attention. According to the memory he obtained, the Castilla Family is the Feneport royal family and also controls the complete promotion path of the 'Judge'.

For Vion Smith to be involved with it and survive safely in the Kingdom of Loen, with a look of annoyance like "Don't mention it," there must be an unspeakable secret in it.

Instead of removing himself from the incident, it would be better for Wang Changle to choose a suitable time point and take the initiative to join in the matter, thereby strengthening the relationship with Vion Smith.

"My God, Odd, since you said you killed Nite, where is the body?"

"The battle was too thrilling, and the body was too broken. Only the head was captured. It's all here, and his body fell into the spirit world."

"You said before that he released the skeleton army in advance, then..."

"Hey, Mr. Vion, you have asked me so many questions, and I also want to ask you a question. The Nite you call is just the 'Necromancer' sequence, but it is actually the 'Opener'. This matter

do you know?"

"When I saw the skeleton tide, I also had some speculations about this. Well, this was all Edward's idea. Now he's out of control..."

Facing Wang Changle's playful eyes, and then looking at Nite who was still staring at the ground, Weiang nodded with helplessness in his tone, as if he wasn't the one who made the cruel move just now.

Even though he still has some doubts in his heart, since this guy has the ability to kill Nite without getting hurt, he can't show it even if he has doubts.

"May the crimson moon protect you. Bishop Edward's heroic sacrifice in order to protect the city of Tingen is worthy of being remembered by all Tingen people. So, have I passed this 'goddess test'?"

Wang Changle nodded, and after making a half-moon mark on his chest, he looked at Vion Smith sincerely.

He has shown enough strength and a little sincerity, so there is no need to entangle too much with Edward. He also believes that Vion can handle the 'little secret' between the two.

"Of course, I promise you to contribute points and I will give them to you after I clear the battlefield."

Weiang smiled and patted Wang Changle on the shoulder, dragging the stiff Edward towards the distant mountains and forests.

He didn't even glance at the Bible that slipped from Edward's chest, soaked in blood and exuding faint fluctuations, and soon disappeared in the shadow stretched by the cold moonlight.

"Tsk, the folk customs in Tingen are really simple and simple, I like them very much."
