Amman's eyes reflected the head of the Hydra Saint that was growing bigger and bigger. He saw the monster opening its mouth, and he could see the sharp teeth in its bloody mouth. It was getting closer and closer. He couldn't help but stare with wide eyes and shout, "Let go of me! Are you crazy?!"
"Tsk, tsk. Even a high priest of the Holy Cathedral is afraid of madness?" Brendel wrapped his arms around Amman's waist and carried him forward, revealing his pearly white teeth as he laughed coldly.
"Brando!" Veronica turned around and saw the young man named Erouine charging towards the Tyrannosaurus with Amman in his arms. "Let go of him! What are you doing?!" She could not believe that Brando would dare to kill Amman. Although she did not think highly of Amman, she was a witness to the death of a high priest of the Holy Cathedral of Fire.
Things were getting complicated.
And —
"Let go! Young man, you'll die too! " Amman had never been so afraid since he became a high priest. He felt as if his blood had frozen, and his words were incoherent.
"I won't die." He raised his head and looked into Amman's eyes with a faint smile.
Amman was stunned by Brando's stare, and screamed like a pig being slaughtered. "You … How dare you kill a high priest of the Holy Cathedral!"
Brando pursed his lips.
The two of them crashed into the Tyrannosaurus' mouth, and a half-meter long fang pierced through Amman's back. With Brando and the Tyrannosaurus' combined strength, Amman's robe could not save his life. Amman spat out a mouthful of blood, and the intense pain made him cough violently.
But Brando did not have it easy either. The other fang that pierced through Amman's body had also pierced through his chest. Brando only managed to slightly deflect it from his heart and pierced through his lung.
Brando immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
The green light on his retina immediately turned red, a warning that his life was in danger. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he was resurrected in Brando's body.
It was not just excessive blood loss, but severe internal injuries. His heart and lungs were failing. This was bad.
"My Lord!"
Brando heard a scream from the forest. It was Scarlett's voice. But he just shook his head, and his consciousness became clear again after a brief moment of blur.
His retina began to show a pale grey scene.
This meant that his [Indomitable Will] had begun to take over his body, and he only had a few minutes left. But this time, he seemed to have suffered too much damage. His [Indomitable Will], which had always been successful, was barely working this time. His body was showing signs of exhaustion.
But this was not the case when the [Indomitable Will] was in effect.
All these thoughts flowed through Brando's mind like a quiet stream. In fact, he had already woken up when he shook his head. At this moment, the Tyrannosaurus closed its jaws and was about to bite him.
Brando knew the consequences of being bitten, but he still wanted to live. He loosened his grip on Amman's back. The cleric's body tilted as if he had stopped breathing. Brando took the opportunity to pull out Halran Gaia and thrust it upwards.
Halran Gaia went straight into the Tyrannosaurus's soft mouth. The massive creature raised its head in pain and let out a roar that shook the valley.
Brando took the opportunity to pull out Halran Gaia and aimed at the creature's throat with the Ring of the Wind Empress with his right hand. The air gathered in an instant and pushed into the Tyrannosaurus's throat. The mist scattered like a flower of blood, and the huge recoil threw Brando away in an instant.
Brando was thrown high into the air by the tremendous force and fell into the forest like a cannonball. He felt that he had broken at least a few tree trunks and landed heavily on a shrub.
If it were not for his muscles and organs that were nearly a hundred times tougher than a normal person's, this would have been a fatal blow that would have taken his life. But Brando only felt dizzy after the violent impact. He tried to get up, but the pain soon overwhelmed him, and he fell to the ground again.
Brando took a deep breath, and the pain in his lungs made him cough violently. When he looked up, he saw that Amman was dead, and Veronica was still being held back by the Tyrannosaurus. The Knight trainee of the Holy Cathedral was even more unreliable.
In other words, there were no more obstacles in front of him.
Brando endured the pain and tried to get up. He wanted to escape into the forest while Unyielding Will was still in effect. But at that moment, he felt a soft hand on his shoulder. He then saw Scarlett's face.
"My Lord!" Brando heard the red-haired girl with a long ponytail shouting. Her voice was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
"I'm not dead yet," Brando replied weakly.
"It's almost time." Orthlyss's voice sounded. She said in a serious tone, "You're too reckless. Do you know your current situation? It's a miracle that you're still alive."
"I'm confident."
"Don't you think you're too confident?" Orthlyss said in an annoyed tone.
Brando could not help but laugh. But his laughter turned into a series of violent coughs. He squinted his eyes and saw the head of the Tyrannosaurus flying in the air. He was afraid that the Tyrannosaurus would find out that he was still alive, so he quickly whispered to Scarlett, "Get me out of here first."
Scarlett supported Brando to prevent him from kneeling on the ground. But she quickly turned around and wiped the corner of her eyes. She nodded. The fact that Brando could still talk to her reassured her. Scarlett was strong enough, but when she thought about the possibility of Brando dying in battle, she could not help but feel helpless.
In comparison, she would rather die in front of His Lordship.
At least she would not be sad.
Scarlett gritted her teeth and supported Brando. But just as she was about to move forward, Brando suddenly saw something shining in the grass not far away.
"That thing!" Brando pointed in that direction.
Scarlett was startled. She looked in that direction. It was Brando's blood. She saw a gray gemstone lying quietly in the grass.
"It's Amman's gemstone." Orthlyss's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes."
"You're still paying attention to it at this time?"
"It's the nature of a player to take advantage of opportunities … I can't forget my roots …" Brando said weakly, but his voice was fading.
"A player?" Orthlyss was stunned.
"Yes," Brando nodded weakly, "This … is my nature. So no matter what … I won't forget my … purpose."
"My Lord!" Scarlett shouted, but her voice was already far away.
"Pick it up." Brando ordered, "Give it to me."
Scarlett was startled, but she gritted her teeth and did as she was told.
[I don't know what it is, but since Orthlyss recognized it, it must be something extraordinary.] Brendel closed his eyes in relief. [I don't know what it is, but since Orthlyss recognized it, it must be something extraordinary. He would not let go of such a good opportunity.
For a moment, he felt that Scarlett was leading him through the forest. He did not know if the Lernaia Hydra had caught up. He struggled to untie the bottles of No.21 Holy Water that were tied to his belt. Some of them were not as effective as the No.5 Holy Water, but at least there was enough of them. Brendel had obtained a lot of them from Baron Graudin's collection.
Some of them were defective products that he made with Medea's help, but most of them were distributed.
Brando drank five bottles in one go, but he only felt slightly better. No.21 Holy Water was the final product of the mass-produced Holy Water. It could even be made by a Priestess, but its effect was terrible. It was even said by the players that it could only relieve pain.
In fact, it was not much different.
After drinking all of the holy water that he and Scarlett brought, he felt that his HP had only recovered to a critical level, but his condition was still a mess. His damaged lungs and wounds that had not fully healed could take his life at any time.
He could only rely on his luck.
He took a deep breath and said, "Scarlett."
"Yes?"
"Listen carefully."
"My Lord?"
"There should be a supply point south from here."
"Supply point?"
Brando coughed. He felt that he did not have much time to explain. The notifications in his vision were getting more and more urgent, and he knew that his life was in danger at any time.
He took a deep breath and explained, "It's the same as the White Stone of Holy Light. Bring me there."
"Aren't we going back to Miss Medea? My Lord, your injuries?" Scarlett asked with a frown.
Brando shook his head, "Don't go back." He knew that if Veronica had not been killed by the Lernaia, she would have chased them all the way here. Even if she died because of him, with the Misty Nightmare in the valley, it would be suicide to run into it.
"But …"
"No buts." Brando knew that they had no way out. Their only chance of survival was to enter the center of the Loop of Trade Winds.
He was the only one who knew how to enter the center of the Loop of Trade Winds.
There, he would be able to get rid of all danger.
Only by entering the center of the Loop of Trade Winds would he have the chance to see the legendary Valhalla and ignite the fire of civilization in the Black Forest.
That was also his first goal when he came to this world.
The first step to changing Erouine was to —
He closed his eyes, "This is an order …"
At this moment, the duration of Indomitable Will reached its end.
