Chapter 269 The Crimson Lotus Greatsword and Saul's Remnant Soul
The Blazing Fire Realm is vast, with numerous branching paths and many traps that require special items to activate.

As members of the Dark Clan directly under Dares, although Kishugal and his group enjoy many privileges, they still have to follow the rules in some areas, just like outsiders.

The only one who truly possesses the ability to fly is Saba, who personally participated in the Black Tower's capture ritual of the temple, and whose own magic power is deeply bound to the Black Tower. Neither the demon swordsman brother and sister can do it.

Interestingly, when it comes to familiarity with the terrain and layout of the Fire Realm, they combined cannot match Cheng, who is essentially cheating.

What's even more special is that, in addition to the deep-water environment adaptability brought by the chest armor, Cheng Tian also has lava environment adaptability. That is, he can step into the lava environment without injury and become a stepping stone for others to reach some special terrains, thereby crossing the terrain and reaching some places that cannot be reached at will.

The berserker Asura Qishugal, who had already turned into a demon, would certainly not let Cheng Tian go. Although there were a full sixty Silver Raiders, they actually couldn't really stop them for long.

As mages and magic swordsmen, they both possess powerful wide-area spells. However, the Silver Raider Knights were quickly discovered by the opposing side to be unable to withstand more than three hits before dying on the spot. Kishugal's Frostfire Lance, Epona's Flame Charge, and Saba's Ice and Fire Breath wiped out most of the knights in one wave.

However, after clearing away all the summons from Cheng Tian, ​​Saba silently withdrew the Ice and Fire Twin Heads and immediately used spatial teleportation to leave.

Rather than chasing and tearing Cheng Tian and his group apart, finding a new set of clothes to cover her lower body was what she needed most right now.

Actually, Sabba originally wanted to continue the pursuit. At this point, she had a bit of a "what's the use" attitude. However, Epona, a female spearman, said something that was a bit cheeky.

"Are the Goddess Expedition team arriving soon?"

These words caused Saba to tremble slightly, and she then made the decision to leave.

We can't let any more people see this!

Meanwhile, the spearman's brother, carrying his battle axe, chased after Cheng Tian and the others without looking back.

Watching her departing brother and disappearing colleague, Epona, who was in some ways the most normal member of the Dark Clan, couldn't help but scratch her head. After hesitating for a moment, she chased after her brother, but without her demon form, she was left far behind by her brother in just a few breaths and disappeared from sight.

In this way, the situation where Cheng Tian and the others originally had to fight three BOSSes at the same time was directly split into three parts, so that they only needed to face Qishugal at most.

Of course, Cheng Tian, ​​who had already fled, only knew that his Silver Guard was soon wiped out, and was unaware that the BOSS trio had been split up.

It's worth mentioning that when Kishugal enters his demonic state, his human signal disappears from the Ten Commandments radar. This indirectly proves that a demonic human is no longer human and will temporarily switch to a demon or monster in terms of race.

But even without the Ten Commandments Radar, Cheng Tian still has the Goddess Radar to use.

Qishugal unleashed his icy magic, killing intent, and rage without any attempt to conceal them. The goddess could sense him from a great distance. However, at this moment, Qishugal had no other thoughts in his mind except to kill Cheng Tian, ​​this despicable man who fled without a fight.

Extremely persistent.

"The female sorcerer's aura is gone, and the girl with the trident doesn't seem to have followed. Only that deeply demonized man is chasing after them."

The goddess Fina, still in her humanoid form, began to utilize her extra functions. But as soon as she finished speaking, she was startled, because a very familiar aura entered her perception range.

Following their senses, they looked ahead and saw an altar at the end of the road. On the altar lay a giant red sword that seemed to have been carved from a single piece of red crystal. Cheng Tian, ​​who was leading the way, had already arrived at the foot of the altar and was examining the giant red sword.

Fina instinctively clutched her chest, her face filled with sorrow, because she had already recognized what it was.

The lineage of the Six Gods, the Gods of Power, possess the Crimson Lotus Greatsword, a family heirloom of the Toba family.

Similarly, it was the exclusive weapon of Saultoba, the leader of the Temple Knights, who voluntarily stayed on the ground to block the invasion of the monster army in order to buy time for the temple to take off, and ultimately sacrificed himself.

Clearly, after Saul's death, the greatsword was locked on the altar of the Blazing Fire Domain, where its power was absorbed, becoming one of the sources of magma generation in the current area.

Seeing her deceased friend's belongings treated this way, Fina's heart was naturally filled with sadness and heaviness.

"...Fina...sir?"

But at that moment, a voice that resounded directly from the heart was simultaneously transmitted into the minds of everyone present.

Then, a phantom of a middle-aged man appeared on the Crimson Lotus Greatsword. He was wearing intricately patterned knight armor, with an X-shaped scar in the center of his forehead. Just by looking at his face, one could feel a series of qualities that were almost equivalent to a holy knight, such as majesty, kindness, integrity, and sincerity.

"Saul! Is that Commander Saul!?"

After flapping her wings several times, Fina landed in front of the man, tears welling in her eyes.

"Lady Fina...you shouldn't have risked entering such a dangerous place..."

Saul, the Grand Master of the Temple Knights, looked helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

Because he is now just a remnant soul residing in the Crimson Lotus Greatsword, being able to maintain his sense of self and see the goddess arrive is already the limit of what he can do.

"Sorry……"

Having already realized her own problems after Cheng Tian's verbal sparring, Fina couldn't offer any more constructive answers to Saul, who was now just a soul but still showed helplessness.

The remnant soul Saul's gaze shifted back and forth between the goddess's waist and Bazett's waist. The thought of "disrespect! Utter disrespect!" only flashed through his mind for a moment before being suppressed.

After all, the person is already dead, so it's really meaningless to cling to these illusory things now.

However, when his gaze shifted to Cheng Tian, ​​who had already broken free of his demonic state, his eyes first showed confusion, then quickly turned to surprise, and finally to an unbelievable delight.

Because he, now only a remnant soul, saw a possibility in Cheng Tian!
Even if only a remnant soul remains, there is still a possibility that one can protect the goddess's safety!
