It was very obvious.
The one who emitted this slippery wriggling sound was Beck Marcellus, who had completed his' great plan. '
He was searching for Celeste, who had escaped due to her injuries.
However.
The sound that lingered nearby soon disappeared into the distance.
"The other party hasn't fused with the life outside the city for long enough. It's not very stable, and its perception is lacking … Once it stabilizes, it will soon find us … We have to hurry … Ah! Ugh!"
Celeste, who had always been strong and patient, cried out in pain … However, because she couldn't make too much noise, she deliberately suppressed her cries.
Han Dong, who was at the side, felt a little strange when he heard this.
As a Paladin, Celeste had a certain level of medical ability. For example, the 'ordinary Holy Light Spell' could treat ordinary injuries.
However, she had no way to deal with the injuries she was currently suffering.
The 'serious injury' on her waist and abdomen had to be treated by a professional healing-type knight, and it also required the use of various precision instruments … If it wasn't handled properly, there would be all kinds of side effects.
Han Dong, who was wearing the crow goggles, looked at Celeste's wound.
A large number of finger-sized tentacles grew on the surface of the wound, as if they were trying to drill into her body.
Celeste spent most of her energy around the wound to prevent these tentacles from invading.
As the tentacles kept wriggling on the surface, the wound kept expanding. Stalling for time was of no benefit to Celeste.
"Won't holy water work?" Han Dong asked.
"No, this isn't an ordinary contaminant. These tentacles have reached a certain level of strength … It's not the simple contaminants you come into contact with in the inner city. This is a true high-level life form.
When these tentacles come into contact with holy water, there will be a strong reaction. Not only will it not be destroyed in a short period of time, but it will also stimulate it to run wildly, tear open the wound, and even enter my body.
Let's not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and bring me up. "
Han Dong didn't move at all. Instead, he said in a low voice, "What do you think is the probability of being discovered if I help you up?"
"About 50% …"
"Also, your sister, Feya, and two other teammates are now fighting a type of contaminant in a special scene … Even if we can escape, once it catches up! Feya and the others will also be in danger. "
Hearing Han Dong's words, Celeste was moved.
Due to the influence of the evil array formation in the underground area, there's no way to send any information out. One has to go up to the surface to inform the knights … But just as Han Dong said, it would be troublesome if Beck Marcellus was accidentally lured up.
The only way was to kill [The Fallen Beck], who had not fully adapted to his new body, in the underground cave.
"If you don't mind, Knight Celeste, I have a way to remove the contaminants from your wounds."
"You? The kid who just allocated two stars to [Mysticism]? Stop joking... If you disturb it, it will enter my body and destroy my organs. You will be indirectly murdering a knight. "
Celeste did not take Han Dong's words seriously at all.
"Phew …"
Han Dong took a deep breath.
While Celeste was not paying attention, he fully activated the power of [Ghoul Arm] and turned around to press her to the ground!
As mentioned before, due to the injury on her waist, Celeste spent most of her energy on the wound and did not dare to make any big movements … She only stared angrily at Han Dong who was on top of her.
"What are you doing!!?"
Since explaining was useless, Han Dong directly made his move.
His right palm forcefully pressed against the wound on Celeste's waist.
He took the initiative to 'come into close contact' with those strange tentacles.
Something unexpected happened.
These small tentacles could not struggle and resist at all. In the blink of an eye, they were absorbed by Han Dong in reverse.
The contaminants disappeared, and the pressure on Celeste disappeared.
She exerted strength on her waist and abdomen and did a carp flip, pressing Han Dong to the ground. Her fist was suspended in mid-air … She glared angrily at this trainee knight who was disrespectful to her.
If this fist were to land on him …
There was a 90% chance that Han Dong would die … Even if his head was smashed, there would be a large hole in the ground.
The mission of the [Holy Knights] and the noble education she received since young gave Celeste a special kind of self-esteem.
The humiliation of being pressed down by a trainee knight who was ten times weaker than her stimulated her self-esteem … In addition, there was something wrong with the ability Han Dong displayed!
"If I didn't forcefully do this, I wouldn't have had the chance to 'heal' you …"
Han Dong's words stunned her for a while.
Taking the initiative to heal her meant that although Han Dong's ability was problematic, he was definitely not on the same side as the enemy. Otherwise, he would have made a move just now or made a loud noise to attract [The Fallen Baker] over.
After about ten seconds of careful consideration, Celeste retracted her fist and calmed herself down. She pulled Han Dong up and continued to hide in the darkness.
As the contaminants were completely removed, Celeste took out a highly effective healing potion from her waist and applied it on the wound on her waist.
Under the stimulation of the potion, the cell division accelerated, and the flesh that multiplied connected itself to seal the wound and repair it.
Celeste said with a serious face.
"Do you know! The ability you just displayed is enough to put you in the Supreme Council's court.
No matter how you explain, no matter if you are human or not, you will be treated as an experiment for the rest of your life. For the rest of your life, you will be reduced to an experimental subject, living a life worse than death. "
"I know … In addition, I also know that if I don't do this, the two of us might die here."
Han Dong's reply made Celeste speechless.
The female knight's crystal-like eyes stared at Han Dong at such a close distance … She was considering if she should cooperate with this trainee knight.
Time was tight.
Celeste grabbed Han Dong's shoulder and pulled him closer to her. Their bodies were even stuck together. (Due to her injury, Celeste had temporarily taken off her light armor and was only wearing a corset.)
A unique fragrance flowed into Han Dong's nose.
It wasn't perfume, but Celeste's natural fragrance … It made Han Dong feel refreshed and energized.
Celeste said sternly, "Kid! I need to confirm your identity. Tell me who your mentor is and where you usually train. "
Han Dong handed over his trainee knight identity card and said, "My mentor is my mentor.
"First Counselor — Pasha Harbut. Second Counselor — Mr. Black-White. Usually, I study plague studies in the Old Sewers. "
"Crow Prophet!"
When she heard Mr. Black And White's name, Celeste was shocked!
Although they belonged to different orders of knights, she still knew Mr. Black And White's name … Her heart was even filled with reverence.
"Alright … Next, we will work together to kill the fallen who have fused with life outside the city through a sacrificial ritual.
I will cast all kinds of holy light blessings on you and greatly reduce the effects of the contamination on you.
The only thing you need to do is to remove these things for me when I am corroded by the tentacles. "
"That …" Han Dong was too close to Celeste and was a little 'stuffy'.
After all, Han Dong's current poor physical condition and thirty years of being single made it normal for him to be stuffy.
"Speak."
"I … I don't need blessings. This contamination shouldn't be of any use to me. Save your energy to deal with the fallen."
"Huh!?"
Celeste widened her eyes again and observed this Two-Star Mysterious Apprentice from a distance.
Her thoughts were a little complicated.
She could only confirm that Han Dong was not in cahoots with the fallen. Otherwise, she would have died long ago.
She couldn't figure out what kind of 'thing' this Two-Star Apprentice was at the moment.
