Chapter 143 The Two-Faced Saint is a Big Shot (29)
From that moment on, it was quite obvious that Erebus was betting that Baldr would not move because of Lord, who was still inside his body.
"Is there a way to expel Him from Augustine's body?" Shi Qi asked Bader, who was standing in front of him.
Badr shook his head, his gaze still fixed warily on Erebus: "There's no good way. To expel Him, we'll inevitably damage this body and the soul within it."
Bader had no choice but to ask 007 in the system space: "Dog, is there any item that can expel Erebus?"
“Yes, there is, but…” 007 hesitated, but then continued, “Even Badr couldn’t handle this, so if you use it…”
"The punishment for this OOC (Out of Character) is definitely severe; they might even get electrocuted..."
Electrocution... I still vividly remember the scene when I was electrocuted and taken to the hospital.
To risk one's life to save someone... Shi Qi silently shook his head in his heart. It really wasn't worth it. He wasn't that saintly.
Seeing that Badr didn't make a move, Erebus's smile faded: "Since you're not going to kill me, I'm going to!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Erebus vanished from their sight in a flash. Although Erebus was not as strong as Baldr at the moment, this was the defiled land, a place permeated with dark power, his home turf. Concealing himself in the darkness was something he excelled at.
Baldr knew His trick and immediately unleashed the power of light, illuminating the surrounding environment in an attempt to force Erebus to reveal himself.
However, He was a step too slow. By the time Erebus appeared, He was already behind Shi Qi, raised His hand, and attacked the back of Shi Qi's head.
Badr sensed danger behind him and quickly swapped positions with Shi Qi.
When Shi Qi's position was switched, he was still dazed. When he turned around, he saw Baldr steadily block Erebus's attack for him. And judging from the location of the attack, it was easy to imagine that if Baldr hadn't reacted in time, he certainly wouldn't have survived.
Erebus's attack was extremely powerful. After Baldr received the attack, a powerful energy wave rippled outwards from the point of impact. Except for Shi Qi, who was completely unaffected by Baldr's protection, many unsuspecting knights in the distance were knocked to the ground by this energy.
Fran used the power of light to block the energy impact. Although he stood firm, he was almost drenched in cold sweat. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if Badr hadn't blocked that attack... Fran clenched his sweaty fists, silently despising his own weakness.
Seeing that his attack was blocked by Badr, Erebus raised an eyebrow and then continued to attack Shi Qi behind Badr.
Because of his duty to protect Shiqi, Baldr's movements were greatly restricted, and he could only passively defend against Erebus's fierce attacks.
Seeing that Badr's movements were restricted, Shi Qi was also a little anxious, because he and Badr both knew very well that right now, the only safe place for Shi Qi was by Badr's side. Once they were out of His protection, a group of mortals would not be able to survive under Erebus.
Seeing that Badr was constrained by him, Erebus attacked while sarcastically saying, "Mortals are nothing but ants in our eyes. I really don't understand why you are protecting this mortal. You might as well just abandon them and kill me sooner."
Badr ignored His words and gave Him no response.
Seeing that He remained unmoved, Erebus's attacks became even more ferocious. The two gods' swords clashed continuously, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged hundreds of blows, making it somewhat dazzling to watch.
Erebus knew that a protracted battle would be of no benefit to Him, so He gathered immense strength and prepared to strike Baldr. But the sword had only moved a few inches in mid-air when Erebus suddenly stopped.
Bader paused for a moment, then with a swing of his sword, knocked Erebus's sword from his hand.
Erebus swayed slightly, but made no other movement.
Just as Badr was about to subdue him, he heard the man who had been motionless suddenly speak. His voice was hoarse: "I told you, don't even think about... using my body to kill someone!"
Erebus didn't know what had happened either. His soul power had been suppressed by this mortal, and no matter how much he struggled, he could no longer regain control of the body.
After saying this, Lord collapsed weakly to the ground.
He lowered his head and gasped for breath, looking utterly exhausted. After a moment, he raised his head, glanced at the people present, and his somewhat listless gaze lingered for a moment on Fran in the distance before turning his attention to Badr, who looked exactly like Fran, standing in front of him, and Shi Qi behind him.
"Fate value -20. Congratulations, host, for completing the first main quest—breaking up the two male leads!"
When Lord's gaze locked onto Shi Qi, Shi Qi saw the reluctance and... relief in his eyes: "I heard what you were saying just now... Don't worry about me, kill Him, don't let Him use my body to do evil anymore."
Upon hearing his resolute words, Shi Qi and Bader exchanged a complicated glance.
Seeing their hesitation, Lord urged, "Don't hesitate! I'm not sure how much longer I can keep Him locked up... Now is the best chance to kill Him, isn't it?" Anxiety appeared on his face.
Suddenly, Lord changed the subject: "What? Can't bring yourself to do it? Brother, when did you become so cowardly?" Clearly, Erebus inside his body had popped up.
After Erebus finished speaking, his face twisted in another grimace: "Hurry! Kill him! He's about to come out!"
Badr knew he couldn't delay any longer. He gripped the sword in his hand and slowly raised it.
After glancing at the coldly gleaming sword blade, Lord turned his gaze back to Shi Qi: "This time, consider it my repayment..." A relieved smile appeared on his face.
Without further hesitation, Baldr pierced the Holy Sword of Light through his chest. A brilliant light erupted, and black energy gradually emerged from the wound...
His sword was swift, and Lord felt almost no pain. Blood seeped from the corner of his lips, and he slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, his expression had clearly changed to that of Erebus...
