"Think about it. If I could enter here on my own, would I still be so weak?" Indelia said.
"This doesn't clear your name. From what you said earlier, your Scarlet Magic needs to absorb the Scarlet Aura expelled from other people's bodies and then turn it into your own power. Even if you can enter this area freely, you can't just absorb the Scarlet Aura here to increase your power."
Indelia's expression darkened. Chen Zhao continued, "The battle of the Holy Glory starts in the Desolate Town. Many participants come in, so you have a chance to enter the Desolate Town and even this Scarlet Battlefield. Maybe everyone, including me, was sent here because of your scheme."
"No, it's not me." Indelia quickly waved her hands. "This has nothing to do with me. It's not me."
"Go to the battlefield and help Matthew," Chen Zhao said. "Use your actions to show your stance."
"I'm not good at fighting."
"No, you are." Chen Zhao shook his head. "The two spells you used to attack me just now show that you have powerful offensive spells. You don't have to act weak before me or the others here. I don't believe or accept it."
"Why didn't you do anything? You're clearly stronger than me. It seems like you're more suspicious. Maybe you're the real mastermind. "
"Of course I know I'm not. No matter how you doubt me, as long as I'm stronger than you, I don't have to prove anything to you." Chen Zhao smiled at Indelia.
Indelia glanced at the others. She wanted to team up against Chen Zhao again.
However, she'd absorbed most of the others' magic. They wouldn't recover without a few days.
Matthew was in a bad state too. He didn't have much power to fight against Chen Zhao now.
Under Chen Zhao's threat, Indelia finally made a decision.
She temporarily obeyed Chen Zhao's order and went to help Matthew.
Matthew was already at the end of his rope. He didn't have much power to continue a high-intensity battle.
Moreover, he wasn't facing just one enemy, but enemies after enemies.
They didn't line up one by one. Instead, they worked together and kept attacking him.
He was already tired from dealing with them. He could feel that he was almost at his limit.
Suddenly, a red light passed by Matthew's side and hit the opponent in front of him.
Matthew turned around in surprise and saw that it was India.
"Miss Indelia, why are you …"
"Let me help you." India gave Matthew a forced smile.
"Thank you."
With India's support, the pressure on Matthew was greatly reduced.
Matthew's current state was similar to that of a character in an online game. His HP was halved and his mana was almost depleted. However, he was still able to go on a rampage.
But India's appearance and help Matthew restrain the enemy gave him time to recover his magic.
As Matthew fought, he glanced at Chen Zhao not far away.
Noticing Matthew's gaze, Chen Zhao smiled and waved his hand.
Matthew was not just a simple monk. As the main target of the Church's training, he had a meticulous mind.
Soon, he realized that there was something wrong with Chen Zhao. Of course, there was something wrong with Delia too.
But soon, the battle between Matthew and India ended.
In the end, they retreated.
The situation was already developing in a direction that they could not control.
A few more groups of people joined in. All of them were spiritualists contaminated by the red gas.
Dozens of spiritualists and the Scarlet Defilers had turned the place into a crazy battlefield.
They attacked each other like wild beasts, as if the other was their mortal enemy.
The casualties kept increasing.
Matthew was not in a good state. After a series of battles, he was extremely weak now.
"Look at you. Can't you just watch like me? Why did you have to join in the fun and end up like this?"
Matthew smiled bitterly and sat on the ground. He glanced at his partner who was even weaker than him.
Then he looked at Chen Zhao. "Chen, can you tell me the truth? You have nothing to do with all this."
"I promise you, I have nothing to do with it." Chen Zhao shrugged.
"What about her?" Matthew looked at Delia again.
Delia turned her head. "She knows more than I do. Most of what I know is from her. She probably hasn't told me many things. If you think you're capable, you can try to make her talk." Chen Zhao nodded. Delia nodded. "You're right.
"I've already told you everything I know. I'm not hiding anything."
"Just from this, I can say for sure that you're still hiding many things, at least some key information," Chen Zhao said.
"Even if you say that, I can't give you more information. I've already told you everything I know."
After a while, Matthew stood up again.
"Chen, we have to leave," Matthew said. "Their battle is about to spread here. If we stay here, we'll be dragged back into the battlefield."
If they did not leave now, they really would not be able to.
Plus, there were four partners on the ground. Once the battle spread here, Matthew would not even be able to protect them.
"Help me carry one, I'll carry two. Miss Indelia, help me carry one of my companions as well."
"No need to be so troublesome," Chen Zhao said. As he spoke, darkness spread out from under his feet.
The dark lava was like liquid. It lifted Bo Antu, Angie, Fille, and Orlando up.
"Let's go," Chen Zhao said.
"Is this dark magic? It's convenient for you to use it like this, "Matthew said in a relaxed tone.
"What? Do you want to try purifying me?"
"Forget it. I'm in such a bad state and you're not either. If there's a chance in the future, let's spar again."
"Miss India, shouldn't you lead the way and take us to a safe place?" Chen Zhao asked, looking at India.
"Why do you think there's a safe place here?"
"You should have arrived here earlier than any of us," Chen Zhao said matter-of-factly. "Your strength isn't enough for you to move around here safely, so you must have a safe hiding place. Otherwise, you would have been dead long ago." Chen Zhao nodded.
"Although I arrived here earlier than you, I didn't find any place to hide. The reason why I haven't been attacked is because my power comes from the same source as those Scarlet Defilers. They treat me as one of their kind, and I'm not affected by the scarlet gas.
