One of the Fallen Paladins noticed Laeticia's action. He temporarily let go of the sheep that was about to be slaughtered and leaped forward, instantly blocking the way of Laeticia who was helping the wounded man escape.
Both of their faces instantly turned pale. The wounded man was so scared that he did not even dare to breathe. Laeticia, on the other hand, suddenly pushed him away. She gripped the tome in front of her chest tightly and put on a fighting stance as she bravely stood in front of the Fallen Paladin.
She was actually very afraid. Although her expression was as determined as ever, her body was trembling slightly under the stimulation of the bloody smell on the Fallen Paladin's body. She could not even put on a proper basic combat stance.
The Fallen Paladin sneered coldly. He was not in a hurry to swing his sword. Instead, he looked at Laeticia's flawless face with great interest and then lowered his head to look at her long legs that were exposed to the air. A hint of amazement could be seen in his eyes as he licked his lips. It was obvious that Laeticia's beauty was very much to his taste.
He did not attack Laeticia. Instead, he turned to look at the wounded man who was limping away.
"No!" Laeticia knew what the Fallen Paladin was thinking. She screamed in despair as she clenched her fists and threw herself at him.
She knew that she would die under the Fallen Paladin's sword. Even so, she still wanted to try her best to save everyone, even if it meant sacrificing herself …
That was Laeticia's belief.
"Oh God, I beg you one last time. Please stop this fearless disaster …" The girl held the tome in her hand and prayed in her heart for the last time.
God could not hear her voice.
But Baiyi could.
Just as the Fallen Paladin was about to pierce through Laeticia's chest with his sword, a silver light suddenly flashed across his neck. His headless head flew high into the air, and the blood that gushed out from his head dyed the girl's white dress red.
The Fallen Paladin's body fell to the ground, revealing Baiyi who was dressed in a black robe. In his hand was a standard-issue longsword that he had picked up from a dead body. The sword was stained with blood. Lowering his head to look at Laeticia, he realized that she was not injured. He let out a sigh of relief and was glad that he had arrived in time.
"Are you okay?" Baiyi asked coldly. As he spoke, he casually tossed the sword into the air and held it in a reverse grip before hurling it at the other Fallen Paladin. The sword let out a shrill whistle as it pierced through the Fallen Paladin's chest, nailing him to the ground.
At this time, the two Fallen Knights who were chasing after the students were dead, and the other Fallen Knights were busy dealing with the Judge Paladins, so they did not have time to deal with them. The students finally had the chance to escape.
However, Laeticia's reaction was a little strange. Her eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and confusion. She asked in a low voice, "It's you?"
Baiyi was taken aback, but he did not have time to think. He grabbed her waist, twisted her under his armpit, and ran.
"Let me go! Please let me go! " Laeticia screamed at the top of her lungs as she struggled to break free from the Soul Armature's grip.
Baiyi did not expect the seemingly soft body to be so strong. Her development was really not bad? However, this little bit of strength was obviously not enough for him.
Laeticia struggled for a while and realized that her arms were not moving at all. With a sobbing tone, she begged, "Please let me go! There are still many people who need my help!"
Why is this girl so stupid? Baiyi thought to himself in dissatisfaction. She's the same as Mia! She can't even take care of herself and yet she's still thinking about others? She's just like an oversized Mia!
After he brought Laeticia to a small forest that was temporarily safe, he put her down. Without any hesitation, he grabbed her cheeks and snapped, "Are you crazy? You still want to go back? Aren't you afraid of death? "
"Ugh … It hurts … You were so gentle the last time we met …" Laeticia's tears were about to fall from her eyes as she stammered out some strange words.
"What did you say?" Baiyi was stunned. He was sure that he was still wearing the Sven the Rogue Knight armor. Be it his appearance, voice or the aura he exuded, they were completely different from Master Hope. It was like he was a completely different person. Even Mia, who was closest to him, would not be able to recognize him, let alone an outsider.
But the disguise that he was so proud of was seen through by this village girl in just a glance? Don't tell me that you can see through my real name?
"I know it's you, the kind sir who showed me the way last time!" Laeticia seemed to have calmed down because of the pain. She gently shook Baiyi's arm and asked pitifully, "Can you let go of me first?"
"How did you recognize me?" Baiyi retracted his hand in embarrassment and quickly asked.
"Even though you've changed your clothes and your voice is different, you still smell the same," Laeticia explained simply.
What kind of explanation is that?
"Everyone's smell is different. The smell on your body makes me feel very calm and at ease. That's why I have a deep impression of you. There's no way I would mistake you for someone else," the girl said confidently.
Baiyi had no choice but to take out the sorcerer's armor from his storage pouch in front of her and changed back to his normal body.
"It's really you!" Laeticia exclaimed excitedly. She did not question Baiyi's action of changing his body. Instead, she hurriedly said, "Kind sir, thank you so much for saving me. I know that you're very powerful. Can you come with me to help those who are suffering?"
"Calm down!" Baiyi snapped. He kept the militia armor and tried to find a different topic, "You can call me Hope. What about you? Big Mia? Jeanne d 'Arc? Darke? "
The girl looked at him strangely and said seriously, "My name is Laeticia. I don't have a surname because I'm a commoner. I don't know the three people you mentioned …"
After saying that, she quickly pulled Baiyi's arm and continued, "Mr. Hope, can you come with me to help them?"
Baiyi felt helpless. He seriously suspected that the swindler was trying to set him up. What kind of fate is this? Is this a burden that I'm destined to carry?
Just as he was about to reject her, a familiar wave suddenly enveloped him. It was the wave of the barrier.
As the barrier was activated, a series of spatial fluctuations could be felt. Baiyi quickly used his Psychic Energy to scan his surroundings. Holy sh * t! There were at least a dozen spatial cracks that had opened up in the entire Arfin City. In the Celestial Fortress Academy alone, there were five of them!
This was the sign of a large-scale invasion by the devils!
The timing of the invasion was not bad at all. The main force of the Church had just been transferred away and the attention of the rest of the strong was focused on the most sensitive point in the south. Even the slightly more powerful students and teachers in the academy were not there. At that moment, an Abyss Lord was reconstructing his body and he had a large number of believers who had infiltrated every corner of the human society …
It could be said that the entire Southland, no, the entire realm of Isythre was in an unprecedented crisis.
Meanwhile, Baiyi, the Fifth Walker, who was in the center of the storm, was still troubled by an inexplicable prophecy and a stubborn little village girl …
Fortunately, the fluctuation from the spatial cracks was so strong that even Laeticia could feel it. Suddenly, she furrowed her brows and sighed, "What … What kind of filth is this? What kind of evil is this …"
Faced with such a situation, Baiyi immediately made a wise decision. A few circles of fiery red formations appeared on his body. He planned to use a forbidden spell to forcefully blast the barrier open so that the other strong human beings would at least be able to sense what was happening in Arfin City.
However, as soon as the formation appeared, it disappeared immediately. Baiyi stopped chanting because he suddenly realized that something was wrong. It seemed like the upper limit of his output had increased? His current maximum output was at least 30% higher than a few minutes ago.
Did Mia suddenly become stronger? That doesn't seem possible … Or could it be that the large number of spatial cracks had weakened the barrier? Something doesn't seem right either. Could it be? Baiyi turned to look at Laeticia. She was looking at him with a worried expression.
Baiyi pondered for a moment and infused some Void Energy into the gauntlet. Suddenly, he held Laeticia's small hand and asked, "Can you feel anything?"
The shock on Laeticia's face, which was initially caused by Baiyi's rash actions, quickly disappeared. Instead, she looked much more relaxed as she replied in a serious tone, "Your hand is very warm. It gives me a very familiar feeling."
No one had ever felt that Baiyi's cold gauntlet was warm, not even Mia and Tisdale. Also, no one would feel that the Void Energy was familiar …
In this world, there would always be some people who had an inexplicable affinity for all kinds of things. They could develop feelings of affection for each other that could not be explained with theory. For example, Affinity with Small Animals, Affinity with Nature, Affinity with Elements, Affinity with Beautiful Girls, and so on.
Naturally, there would also be Affinity with the Void, just like the girl in front of him.
"She's actually the second one …" The Archmage said in the Void, trying to suppress his surprise. "So that's what the prophecy meant …"
"So this is the so-called arrangement of fate? So, the fate that the quack was talking about was not mine, but hers, "Baiyi said in a low voice. "A girl who yearns for the light, loyal and devout, but she has an affinity with the Void that symbolizes endless darkness …"
"This f * cking fate!" Baiyi cursed loudly in the Void as if he was talking to a prophet. In reality, he was also bursting with a terrifying aura because of the complicated emotions in his heart.
