Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 588 The Three Poles of the D45 World

【Crimson Anthem】

[Mission Description: The Crimson Saintess Serafina, who walks the earth in the name of benevolence, wanders the wilderness outside the holy city of Latina, healing lost and beast-like humans. This act has angered His Holiness the Crimson Pope Lawrence, and the Choir has begun hunting her down. Etoris, in the name of a paladin, requests your aid.]

[Mission Requirement: Ensure the survival of Crimson Saintess Serafina within seven days]

[Quest Rewards: High-Purity Blood Potion *1; Crimson Blood *1]

Although forcibly entering this world using Hearthstone will not trigger the main quest, the special events that are triggered will still be recognized by the space.

The professor looked at the special mission that appeared in front of him and was about to accept it, but he quickly realized what was happening and looked at Tao Pai Pai.

Tao Pai Pai is an abnormal person who cannot be judged by common sense, so he dared not make a decision rashly. However, the space prompt soon made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Temporary Squad 98715 accepted a special mission: Crimson Anthem.

[Seraphine the Crimson Saintess Serafina's survival rate: 1/7]

"This mission is probably hinting that the Crimson Pope Lawrence will begin some special plan in 7 days, which is why he has started such an intense manhunt in the past few days."

The professor was very clear about the implied information behind the various missions in the space; he was the type of person who was good at uncovering hidden missions and factions.

Seeing that Tao Pai Pai had accepted the mission, he took the initiative to speak.

Bai Cangshu didn't reply, but simply looked at the first paladin to receive his power and smiled happily.
“Remember, Etoris, as long as your heart can still burn, she will not die.”

Etoris stood up. Due to his beast form, he was now nearly 2.5 meters tall, with a slightly hunched back, a layer of white bone spurs on his back like armor, and a white tailbone more than a meter long hanging down behind him.

He listened as this mysterious and powerful man spoke calmly, as if he had made some incredible promise. He was momentarily at a loss for how to react. Instead, the professor stepped forward, coughed, and explained.

"Lord Tao Pai Pai values ​​promises very much. Since we have agreed to your request, we will naturally not let Serafina die."

At least, within these seven days… The professor added in his mind, looking at the beast Duncan whose limbs had been cut off by Black Saber, unsure how Tao Pai Pai would ultimately treat the saintess.

In just a short time as a team, he realized that Tao Pai Pai did not have the sense of good and evil that most reincarnators possessed. He neither showed great kindness in saving the defeated soldiers nor was he so evil as to kill for pleasure.

If analyzed using traditional views of good and evil, he felt that Tao Pai Pai probably belonged to the "evil" faction. He was not a villain, but he was far from being a good guy either. Tao Pai Pai was an evil person who acted only for his own special purposes.

Etoris felt a little relieved upon hearing this. As a former paladin and a half-blood with keen senses, he had a sharp sense of the good and evil aura of others. Among the three people in front of him, this black-haired woman was the most upright and kind.

The terrifying knight lady in black armor and a black sword, though exuding a violent aura, was not evil, but simply brutal.

Only this man with his long, black hair exuded an evil aura that made people feel uncomfortable. It was a unique temperament that combined bloodthirsty killing intent with a cold arrogance that did not regard any living being.

Etoris nodded, then rummaged through his backpack for a map, muttering to himself.
"Lady Serafina is currently in Ashenvale, about 300 kilometers from the Holy City of Latina, purifying the townspeople affected by the Bloodborne Curse. We are now..."

"If the Saintess Serafina you are referring to is the beautiful girl with long red hair and wearing a white robe, she is probably on the grassland about 700 kilometers away in this direction."

"At this moment, she is being intercepted in the wasteland by hundreds of members of the choir. The townspeople you said needed to be purified have all been killed."

The professor held the gemstone in his hand, but when he spoke, he was looking at Tao Pai Pai.

Etoris's expression changed drastically. The chorus was the most elite fighting force in the Healing Church. Each member had undergone a deep "blood healing" and gained powerful combat strength that surpassed that of ordinary hybrids.

The Choir is a powerful force capable of hunting down "second-generation" hybrids in groups. It has always been the signature force of the Healing Church, which claims to protect humanity and exterminate dragons.

Unexpectedly, they had already been dispatched to capture Lady Serafina.

This behavior almost signifies that the pope has completely abandoned all pretense and his terrible plan has reached its final stage!
Bai Cangshu's lips curled into a grin. The burning passion and urgent emotion of Etoris gave him a warm sense of pleasure, and he also gleaned more interesting information from Etoris's mind. Crimson Pope Lawrence, the knowledge of the stars, the bloodline of the ancient gods, the ladder of flesh and blood evolution… and, a holy soul!
He rarely showed a kind smile, and patted the professor on the shoulder in a complimentary manner.

“Very good. As a reward for reminding me to enter this world at the right time, I can now let you be the hero.”

As the professor looked at Tao Pai Pai, who was showing such a smile for the first time, a chill ran down his spine, and his hair stood on end again. A strong sense of unease made his expression almost completely freeze, and he was unable to respond.

Fortunately, Tao Pai Pai didn't seem to care. He simply floated up from the ground naturally, and Artoria naturally came to Tao Pai Pai's side, being lifted off the ground by the back of her neck by the armor.

The fact that this tyrannical black king is now acting alongside the equally tyrannical and evil Tao Pai Pai creates an eerie sense of harmony.

The professor coughed, no longer daring to let his mind wander. With a flash of light in his hand, a silver surfboard landed at his feet.

Seeing Bai Cangshu's gaze fall upon him, he immediately explained.
"This isn't the Silver Surfer one; it's just a technological creation..."

After Bai Cangshu looked away, the professor had Etoris also step onto the skateboard. Immediately, a strong vortex appeared from behind the skateboard, and the two of them soared into the sky.

Artoria, who was being held by the neck armor, also raised her head, her amber-gold eyes fixed on Bai Cangshu.

Seeing that even though the other party was stained with black mud, it seemed that some of the original characteristics still existed, Bai Cangshu had a thought and threw the other party into the air, and a blue and white single boat appeared.

Shit!

With a flash of lightning, the [Ace's Single-Person Boat - Modified] roared and tore through the air, carrying the two of them away swiftly.

Only the beast Duncan, with its four limbs severed, was left, struggling and roaring in the wasteland. But neither Bai Cangshu, Artoria, nor the Professor and Etoris paid any attention to this overly weak beast.

Hula~
On the grassland, wildfires reappeared without warning, seemingly reflecting the increasingly obvious distortion in the sky, where bronze-colored turbulence could already be faintly seen.

Flames swept across the wasteland, completely engulfing the corpses, and finally gathered around the beast Duncan, whose painful howls carried far and wide.

Flames engulfed his body, flesh rolled back, and the smell of burning blood seemed to bring Duncan back a bit of his human sanity.

It hurts so much, Your Majesty Lawrence. I was so devout, why did I end up like this...?

Why did that lady knight try to kill me...?

Why do those nobles insist on forcing me to go to the battlefield and die...?

Duncan had no great ambitions and little worldly experience. He simply couldn't understand why everyone wanted to tear his world apart when he just wanted to live a good life in the village.
Resentment, distortion, and unwillingness to accept defeat.

A faint, dark aura fell into the flames, which quickly turned black. The limbless beast suddenly let out a human-like roar.

"You... are all going to die!"
-
Are you laughing?

Artoria stood at the back of the single-person boat. It seemed that her [Riding] skill also worked on this type of vehicle. She showed no discomfort and simply asked a question calmly.

Bai Cangshu nodded, his eyes filled with an undisguised smile.

"Yeah, I just throw in any bait and a big fish bites. It's so easy I want to laugh."

Crimson Pope Lawrence, the Lord of Bronze and Fire, and the power that guides the world toward distortion from behind his hiding place...

"interesting."
