Chapter 90
Jason sighed, then released his bow and arrow without hesitation. Everyone had their own ideas and persistence.
Nala was unwilling to change her own will, but he was also unwilling to become her. If Nala couldn't even defeat herself, then it would be useless for her to go to Sacred Valley. Only if she could defeat herself, then she would be qualified to continue on.
She swung her Dragonscale Sword and cut down the incoming arrows. She jumped off her horse and walked towards Jason. At the same time, she said to her followers, "This is my battle. Just wait for my victory."
"No, now is our chance to perform" Alkors advised. "Although I don't want His Lordship to become a torch, since His Lordship has made up her mind, then all we have to do is to assist His Lordship with all our might"
"There's not much time left, His Lordship's pace should not be delayed, so leave this person to me" Alkors dismounted, drew his sword, and stood in front of Nala: "His Lordship, please focus on going to Sacred Valley"
"I understand" Nala looked at the determined face under Alkors' helmet, showed a bright smile, got back on her horse, and set off in the direction of Sacred Valley: "May glory be with you!"
Alkors charged towards Jason with his sword in hand, muttering firmly: "I am a knight, I follow the will of my Lord, and I will win every battle!"
Jason narrowed his eyes, his expression hidden under his mask. He raised his bow and arrow, a red glow flowed from his body and poured into the bow and arrow, turning it into a red stream of light that rushed towards the charging Alkors.
He didn't want to waste time on these knights, stopping Nala from going to Sacred Valley was what he should be doing. That red stream of light was the ability he obtained from Sacred Valley, and he believed it could take care of that knight.
Sacred Valley was famous for their assassination methods. No matter what kind of injuries their members suffered outside, as long as they returned to Sacred Valley, they would be treated. This was because Sacred Valley had the best healing method on the continent: the Fountain of Life.
The effect of the Fountain of Life was as its name suggested. The spring water surged with life, and drinking the water could cure most injuries and diseases.
The reason why the assassins of the Sacred Valley were so good at assassination was that every assassin of the Sacred Valley had trained their bodies to the limit. If ordinary people did not have talent and reasonable means, they would only destroy their bodies by constantly training to the limit, but this problem did not exist for the Sacred Valley who had the Fountain of Life.
In other words, as long as you had enough willpower and were willing to train hard, under the care of the Fountain of Life, everyone could reach the limit of their body.
Apart from that, the Spring of Life had other uses as well. For example, when Jason modified the Blood Burners, their hearts had been modified to form a connection with the Spring of Life, allowing them to store a terrifying amount of vitality. As such, they could use this excess vitality to unleash all sorts of unimaginable powers.
Of course, not everyone could undergo the Blood Burner transformation. One had to have a suitable physique, and the success rate wasn't high. At first, Jason had rejected the transformation because he was afraid that the transformation wouldn't succeed and he wouldn't be able to take revenge.
But after that, he fell into a state of near death and was transformed into an Undead by Smick using the ceremonial blade. Without the help of germs, his body slowly decayed and he had no choice but to undergo this transformation.
After the transformation was successful, Jason could burn his life force and inject it into his weapon to increase the power of his attack. The pulsating red of life had a restraining effect on certain existences.
"Don't underestimate me!" Alkors was constantly breathing rhythmically through his mouth and nose, the knight's sword in his hand flashed with a metallic luster and shattered the red light shot out by Jason, turning it into several small pieces that fell to the ground and burned them.
"Before I fall, I will never, ever let you interfere with my Lord's actions!" Alkors raised his knight's sword, the metallic luster began to shine: "[School of Steel], Alkors Druid!"
Jason watched as Nala and the others galloped past on their horses, then turned to look at Alkors, raised his bow, and spoke with a hoarse voice that seemed particularly serious: "Blood Burner, Jason Todd"
Jason nocked several arrows, the red light flowed and infused into the arrows, turning them into several streaks of red light that shot out. Alkors raised his knight's sword, constantly swinging it as he approached Jason.
[School of Steel], one of the schools of [Respiratory Art], is characterized by its unbreakable defense. They will be your most reliable back, as long as they don't die, they will always hold the line of defense.
"The most unbearable thing is this kind of stubborn defender, it's really hard to deal with" Jason sighed. He knew that people like Alkors would persevere even if it meant sacrificing their own lives to achieve their goals, because he himself was such a person.
The red streaks of light flew by and Alkors was able to accurately split them apart, but after the streaks of light scattered, they would turn into scattered light that struck his armor. The impact wasn't strong, but the heat they carried was extremely high, causing Alkors' armor to turn red.
His sweat turned into steam and spread outwards, his skin was scalded, and his hands that were holding the sword were blistered from the heat of the sword, then burst open and became rotten.
Alkors rushed in front of Jason, turned the knight's sword in his hand, and swatted Jason with the flat of the sword. The other party's goal was to stop Nala from going to her death, so he wasn't an enemy, so it was enough to knock him down.
"Too naive" Jason didn't dodge, threw his bow and arrow aside, then grabbed Alkors' sword with his flesh and blood. The red glow of life began to pulse, the scorching heat spread from the blade to the hilt, then stimulated Alkors' deformed hands: "Abandon your sword!"
"Never!" the smell of burnt meat came from the knight's hands, he raised his head and headbutted Jason.
"Although your defense is strong, you can't isolate the heat, which I can restrain. Stop your attack, your body won't be able to take it if you continue like this!" Jason headbutted Alkors without any hesitation.
Other Blood Burners were afraid of burning their bodies, so they always maintained a certain limit when burning their vitality, but Jason was only an Undead, so his limit was exceptionally high.
"To follow my Lord and fight to defend my Lord's beliefs, a person with such glory is a true knight!" The light on Alkors' body flowed as he used all his strength to attack Jason: "I am a knight, I am not afraid of death, may the glory of my Lord always be upon me!"
"This person … there's no other way!" Jason clenched his teeth, his heart beat wildly, a large amount of life force poured out and turned into a pulsing red glow, distorting the air, then suddenly exploded.
Alkors' body flew upside down and fell to the ground. Jason dragged his slightly broken body to his side and sighed: "He's still breathing, but I can't just leave him like that"
"With such a person following her, Nala should be able to succeed!" Jason looked in the direction Nala left and said sadly.
