Chapter 25
"So this is where Bukittel died?" Chris sensed the rhythm of the ring in his hand as he observed his surroundings.
This ring was the Ring of Oath of the Church of Divine Grace, the cleric Bukittel had sworn an oath to God with this ring in his hand. At that very moment, his life became a promise to this ring.
It was also through this ring that Bukittel communicated with Augustin in the faraway Interkam Kingdom headquarters of the Church of Divine Grace and passed on a certain message.
"Are you also crying?" Chris placed the ring on the ground and pressed his hand against the ground. His breathing became extremely heavy as a strange power flowed out from Chris's hand and spread into the surroundings.
"Heart's Rhythm!" Chris's expression became serious: "Bukittel, let me see who killed you, let me hear your final murmur!!"
…
"Hoh hoh hoh! Be careful, those crows won't move in large numbers in densely populated areas, but we still need to be careful of them acting out of desperation "Bukittel hurriedly said as he held the wound on his shoulder.
On the other side, Isabella was hugging the sleeping Nala with a face full of fear: "Mr. Bukittel, please don't worry about us, we won't be able to escape from here, that demon, he won't let us go!!"
"Don't be afraid, our Lord will watch over us" Bukittel's hand glowed with a white light as he pressed it against his wound, causing black blood to flow out.
While he was taking Isabella and her mother away, two crows ambushed him. Their hook-like claws easily tore through his priest robe and left several bloody holes, but he was able to kill them with his Grace.
"My Lord has promised me the power to save others, so for the sake of that promise, I will not give up on anyone who is worth saving. I will extend my hand to anyone who needs saving!" Bukittel had a gentle smile on his face as he encouraged Isabella.
"I'll go hire a horse carriage and go to a crowded area, as long as we get out of Reystromia, we'll be fine" Bukittel consoled her.
However, Bukittel wasn't as relaxed as he appeared to be. Putting aside the fact that he wouldn't be able to survive if the enemy didn't care about the pedestrians and sent out a large number of crows, he wouldn't be able to survive either. With such a large number of crows, unless an army was deployed to surround and annihilate them, no one would be able to resist such a force that could already become a natural disaster.
Not to mention, an Evil Spirit with a mind of its own had only appeared a few times in the entire history of the Church of Divine Grace. This kind of existence was extremely dangerous. Other than the crows, the existence called Negri must have other powers.
"Samira!" A soft cry came from afar, followed by a strong gale.
Bukittel's expression changed, and he dodged to the side. Amidst the strong wind, a wound appeared on his cheek, and blood splattered everywhere.
"My Lord has given me the power to protect others!" Bukittel chanted in praise as his body flickered with white light, blocking the things hidden in the wind.
The wind slowly calmed down, Bukittel had a serious expression on his face. Samira, the Cauchy people's legendary God of Wind, Bukittel had a certain level of understanding towards the Cauchy people's legends: "Spirit Shaman, huh? Do the Cauchy people still have this kind of inheritance? "
"Let's leave this place first, the Cauchy Crowmen need to maintain order in Reya, they have no reason to stop nobles from returning to their country" Isabella was an aristocrat, so she couldn't be forced to reveal her identity. Unless Reystromia was prepared to completely fall out with Interkam, Reya wouldn't be able to openly stop them from leaving.
Bukittel and Isabella rented a horse carriage and headed towards the Interkam Kingdom. While driving the carriage, Bukittel was still carefully observing his surroundings.
"Nereira!" Another soft sound came, causing Bukittel's expression to change. The wooden planks of the horse carriage suddenly started to grow green, in just a few seconds, the entire horse carriage completely fell apart, the horses couldn't stop themselves from galloping away.
Nereira, the Cauchy people's legendary Goddess of Green Leaves and New Shoots. The scattered pieces of wood on the horse carriage had already begun to sprout green shoots.
Bukittel crouched down on one side, his body glowing in white light as he guarded Isabella and Nala behind him. He knew that he couldn't drag this on any longer, avoiding the battle would only worsen the situation. The only thing he could do right now was to find the person hiding in the shadows and defeat him, only then would he have a chance to take Isabella and Nala away.
"Cardinal Augustin, please listen carefully, there is still a person in Reystromia who seems to be a Spirit Shaman serving Negri. He is currently pursuing me, so I have no choice but to fight him, please wait for my good news"
Through a secret technique, Bukittel transmitted his words into the Ring of Oath that he kept with the Church of Divine Grace. He then drew the sword hanging on his waist, placed the side of the sword against his forehead and whispered his praise: "My Lord has granted me the Eyes to See Everything!"
"There! Break the darkness! " A rune appeared on Bukittel's forehead, granting him a unique vision that allowed him to discover the person who attacked them. His figure flashed as he chanted and swung the shining sword in his hand.
"Samira!" The wind howled once again, attacking Bukittel's body. However, the sword in his hand seemed to contain some sort of unimaginable power as it directly cut the wind apart and revealed the person behind it.
A well-dressed young man with a calm expression, his long black hair made him appear especially cold. He was also holding a book in his hand, the sharp-eyed Bukittel easily noticed that the book was the Divine Grace Bible that the Church of Divine Grace used to propagate their teachings and myths.
"It's a young man" Bukittel didn't underestimate him. Bukittel didn't look down on them. The Cauchy people had once unified the continent and established the Trilansia Empire, and the Spirit Shamans played an important role in that.
Many years ago, when the Trilancia Empire collapsed, the Cauchy people scattered and the tradition of Spirit Shamans was basically cut off. Since this young man had this power in his hands, he couldn't be underestimated.
"Young man, listen carefully. I don't care why you and the person behind you want to keep Isabella and her daughter here, but she is an aristocrat of the Interkam Kingdom, as well as a devout believer of our Church of Divine Grace. I will definitely take her away from this place, my Lord shall grant me power!" Bukittel pointed his sword at Noah and declared in a low voice.
