Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Desecrated Ancient Beasts

“Holy Sanctuary Knight?”

Karl looked at the other party, his expression not changing much, after all, he already had a guess in his heart.

As early as when the four wild men arrived at the tower, he had already landed nearby with Aya.

He had also seen the fight between them, and now he nodded:

“Thank you for coming all this way.”

“It’s my duty.” Bocken’s expression was solemn:

“The Guardian is the messenger of the gods, you guide us in the direction we should go, even if it is far away, we will come.”

“Is that so?” Karl said noncommittally:

“I thought you came this time to take me back to the Holy Sanctuary.”

“Only by receiving baptism in the Holy Sanctuary can the messenger of the gods truly receive blessings.” Bocken said:

“You should return to the Holy Sanctuary.”

Baptism?

Blessings?

Karl’s heart skipped a beat.

As the Lord of the Divine Domain Fragment, he was very clear about the rituals of the gods.

The Moon Goddess was not completely dead, and by holding a ritual in a special place, there was indeed a chance to connect with Her.

But he absolutely did not want to be involved in this kind of connection, because once he touched it, he would never be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life.

“I will not return to the Holy Sanctuary.”

Shaking his head, Karl directly expressed his thoughts:

“Other things can be discussed, but not this one.”

“Guardian.” Bocken frowned:

“The Holy Sanctuary is the dwelling of the gods, as the Guardian, you should stay there, not going is against the rules.”

“What do you need?”

“Power, wealth, women…, as long as you ask, the Holy Sanctuary will definitely be able to help you.”

“I’m not interested in these.” Karl shook his head:

“Oh right!”

“In your Holy Sanctuary, are there any martial techniques or cultivation methods that only the Guardian can practice?”

“Yes.” Bocken nodded, giving a definite answer:

“The martial techniques and methods that mortals practice are called Battle Techniques, while the martial techniques that Guardians and Demigods practice are called Holy Techniques. These types of cultivation methods were previously only circulated in the Divine Domain. After the Great War of the Gods, some of them were left in the mortal realm, and the Holy Sanctuary has a few of them.”

“As long as you return to the Holy Sanctuary, these cultivation methods and martial techniques will be open to you, including all kinds of resources needed for cultivation.”

“Then forget it!” Karl had a moment of hesitation, but still waved his hand:

“I have no plans to go to the Holy Sanctuary at the moment.”

“Swish!”

A blur flashed before his eyes.

The gaunt figure that had just killed the four people appeared in front of Karl, under the hood were a pair of emotionless, pitch-black eyes.

It seemed as if it would pounce at any moment.

The Holy Sanctuary Knight’s attitude was also clear, if he was unwilling to go, then they would take action by force.

“Clang!”

Accompanied by a clanging sound, the Desecrated Knight Aya also drew her greatsword, standing guard in front of Karl.

“Aya!”

Bocken roared, like a beast that had been provoked:

“What are you doing? The actions of the Holy Knight represent the will of the gods, are you going to violate the will of the gods?”

“No!” Aya’s eyes lowered:

“Compared to the Holy Knights, the Guardian can truly represent the will of the gods, the gods chose him and did not choose you.”

“So I should protect him, not obey the orders of the Holy Sanctuary.”

“……” Bocken’s eyes twitched, he stared fiercely at Aya, his face full of disgust and anger:

“You sinners who betrayed the gods, you should have been nailed to the bottom of the Nether Abyss forever, now that you have a chance to atone for your sins, you can’t distinguish between truth and falsehood.”

“Aya!”

“Do you think you can stop me?”

Karl’s eyes flickered, as if in thought.

The Holy Sanctuary Knights had a very divided attitude towards the Desecrated Knights, clearly both sides were fighting for the gods, but they looked down on them and even had extreme disgust for them.

The reason was very simple.

The Desecrated Knights originated from the evil god Pale Wing.

And Pale Wing was a war angel who betrayed the goddess, so theoretically, the Desecrated Knights were all descendants of traitors.

The Holy Sanctuary Knights who truly believed in the goddess definitely did not like the Desecrated Knights.

But unfortunately.

Losing the blessings of the gods, the Holy Sanctuary Knights found it difficult to become Guardians, and many things needed to be done by the Desecrated Knights.

This led to the Holy Sanctuary’s complex attitude towards the Desecrated Knights.

“Hoo……”

Taking a deep breath, Bocken forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Karl, saying:

“Guardian, now that your identity has been revealed, there are more than just the Holy Sanctuary who want to find you.”

“You must know that some people do not want the goddess to be resurrected, so they will not allow you to live.”

“When I arrived at Rapid Flow City, I sensed the aura of the betrayers, they will not be as easy to talk to as I am.”

“Is that so?” Karl nodded:

“Thank you for telling me this news, I believe with you leading people to protect me, I will be fine.”

“Only in the Holy Sanctuary can you obtain true safety.” Bocken shook his head.

“Oh!”

Karl said:

“Can the Holy Sanctuary stop the Duke?”

“Yes!”

Bocken’s answer was unexpected, facing the most powerful title in this world, he was still not afraid:

“The Holy Sanctuary is not a Holy Sanctuary of the mortal realm, but the Holy Domain that was originally located in the Divine Realm, the dwelling of the goddess.”

“There, we are fearless!”

The place where mortals lived in this world was called the Mortal Realm, while the place where the gods lived was called the Divine Domain.

According to Karl’s understanding.

The Mortal Realm was the real world.

The Divine Domain,

was located in the Astral Plane.

However, due to the War of the Gods, the Divine Domain was shattered, and many places fell from the Divine Realm to the Mortal Realm.

For example…

The Guardian Arena where the Saluo Tree was located.

And the Holy Sanctuary that Bocken mentioned.

The place where the Moon Goddess once lived, he should not go there even more, if he was targeted, he would be in trouble.

Karl shook his head:

“I’ll say it one last time, I will not go to the Holy Sanctuary.”

“……” Bocken looked at him quietly, and after a long time, he slowly said:

“The order I received was to bring the Guardian back to the Holy Sanctuary, if necessary… a corpse is not unacceptable either.”

Huh?

“Attack!”

Bocken suddenly waved his hand.

“Swish!”

The soil beneath the gaunt figure’s feet suddenly exploded, a phantom image crossed the void, pouncing towards Karl.

“Hmph!”

Aya snorted coldly, and charged forward with her sword.

Her constitution value was almost the same as Karl’s, both had just broken through ten, reaching the middle stage of the first order.

A constitution of ten points and a constitution of nine points seemed to have little difference, but the difference was obvious in actual combat.

“Bang!”

The two figures that collided at high speed retreated at the same time, Aya only took two steps back to stabilize her body, while the other party was directly sent flying, the tattered clothes on his body were also torn apart in the shockwave.

Under the tattered clothes, there was a monkey-like being.

The gaunt, rough skin was like weathered rocks, the sharp ten fingers were no longer human, the gray and white hair was scattered behind his back, and his pitch-black eyes were full of fierce murderous intent.

A human?

It was not human at all!

But Aya felt a familiar aura from the other party, like that of a blood-related sister.

“What did you do?”

Aya’s eyes twitched:

“What is it…!”

“What is it?” Bocken sneered:

“Didn’t you feel it, its body is flowing with the same blood as yours, the blood of desecration!”

“It…”

“Is your sister!”

“Nonsense!” Aya roared, her expression twisted:

“What exactly did you do? Did you capture babies for experiments?”

“Desecration!” Bocken’s face turned serious, and he said sternly:

“We step into the darkness, step into the abyss, our body and mind are defiled, just to pursue that moment of light.”

“Aya!”

“Desecrated Knights with wisdom do not meet the needs of the Holy Sanctuary, and they… are your replacements, we call them Desecrated Ancient Beasts.”

“Roar!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the ‘Desecrated Ancient Beast’ in the arena roared to the sky as if stimulated, the muscles on its back cracked, and a pair of fleshy wings covered in mucus suddenly unfolded, stirring up a gust of wind.

“Swish!”

With a light flap of its wings, it arrived in front of Aya.

“Clang…”

The two ‘people’ collided again, this time Aya still had the upper hand, but the Desecrated Ancient Beast had wings and did not lose its balance, instead, it turned in the air and pounced again.

“Your strength has increased again.”

Bocken narrowed his eyes:

“But for your batch of Desecrated Knights, reaching this level of strength is already approaching the limit.”

“And for the Desecrated Ancient Beasts, it is just the beginning.”

“Aya!”

Looking at the two figures fighting back and forth in the arena, he slowly said:

“You should also know that several elders of the Holy Sanctuary have passed an order to destroy the first generation of Desecrated Knights, the Desecrated Knights who were born like you will all be cleaned up, and those responsible for doing it are them.”

“The second generation Desecrated Knights – Desecrated Ancient Beasts!”

“All of the first generation Desecrated Knights in the Holy Sanctuary have been cleaned up, including those few geishas who were deeply favored by the elders.”

“Ah!”

Aya roared to the sky, her eyes almost completely turning pitch black, anger almost made her lose control of her body:

“Bocken!”

“You… you deserve to die!”

“Boom!”

A violent shockwave suddenly sent the attacking Desecrated Ancient Beast flying, Aya turned her body and pounced towards Bocken.

“Hmph!”

***

“Sinner!”

Facing the charging Yana, Boken’s face showed no fear, only a deep-seated disgust:

“Your eyes, your hair, the smell of your body, even the blood flowing through your veins is sinful.”

“You shouldn’t exist in this world.”

“Bang!”

The mud in front of him suddenly exploded, and two black figures soared into the sky, colliding with the unsuspecting Yana.

Desecrated Beasts!

Moreover, each of these two Desecrated Beasts held a strange scimitar, hidden and suddenly erupting, the scimitars directly piercing Yana’s body.

Their methods of concealing their presence were extremely clever; even Karl was unable to detect them in advance.

“Yana!”

Karl frowned, just as he was about to make a move, his heart suddenly tightened, and his body flew sideways several meters.

“Swish!”

Three black figures crossed paths where he had just been.

Desecrated Beasts!

There were actually six Desecrated Beasts in the field!

“Go!”

Boken took a step back, leaving the battlefield to the others:

“Kill Yana, capture the Guardian!”

“Whoosh!”

The six Desecrated Beasts attacked at the same time, three rushing towards the injured Yana, and three reaching out to grab Karl.

They were all very fast, and simple actions became extremely lethal in their hands.

“Bang!”

One Desecrated Beast flew backward.

Karl clenched his fists, his battle aura solidifying around him, easily blocking the incoming attacks, his expression unchanged:

“Don’t underestimate me too much; after all, I bear the title of the Goddess’s Guardian.”

Combat Technique ━ Wild Dance!

The battle aura, enhanced by the Sacred Breath, became tangible, transforming into layers of fist shadows that surged towards the Desecrated Beasts.

His mid-first order cultivation was fully revealed at this moment.

In terms of strength,

Yana was also inferior to Karl.

“Bang!”

“Bang, bang!”

Three Desecrated Beasts flew out one after another, one of them with a broken sternum, making it difficult to recover in a short time.

Breaking through the encirclement, Karl tapped his foot on the ground, wanting to rescue Yana, when a chill suddenly arose in his heart.

Huh?

Danger!

The extreme danger made his skin instantly tense, and a rune in an activated state also appeared in his palm.

Although he didn’t know where the danger was coming from, this warning directly triggered Karl’s survival threshold.

He even almost ignored the others in the field and retreated back to the Divine Domain Fragment.

Behind him.

The void suddenly darkened.

A black glow suddenly appeared.

Black, which devours light, originally would not emit light, but that black glow seemed to break the norm, blooming with a faint black halo.

It was only a flash.

The black glow appeared at the back of Karl’s head, and the next moment, it would pierce his skull, extinguishing his life force.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

“No!”

Yana, who turned her head and saw this scene, her eyes jumped, and she roared to the sky, but no sound came out.

In an instant.

Countless past experiences of her life flashed through her mind.

When she was young, she endured torture every moment in order to adapt to the Evil God’s bloodline, just to survive.

Every day.

Only when that kind priest was telling the stories of God would the pain on her body lessen.

God will redeem the world.

Including them, the Desecrated Knights who possessed the bloodline of the Evil God.

Countless times of brainwashing and will hypnosis had turned this sentence into the source that sustained her.

God loves the world!

God!

Loves His people.

Yana’s piety towards God was beyond doubt; even the most devout Holy Sanctuary knights could not compare.

‘Everything I have belongs to God…’

And God,

In her heart, had always been an ethereal existence, a spiritual sustenance, that no one had ever truly seen.

Until…

“God has His own Guardian, and sometimes God will favor the Guardian; they are the people closest to God.”

“Your mission this time is to protect him and bring the Guardian back to the Holy Sanctuary.”

The Holy Sanctuary Elder’s voice echoed in her ears. Yana took over the mission in a daze, her heart suddenly skipping a beat.

Guardian,

The person closest to God.

He would save God, and he would also save herself.

But now,

The Guardian was about to die before her eyes; that despair and collapse instantly overwhelmed her reason.

“Hiss…”

“Hiss, hiss…”

Strands of black silk suddenly appeared out of thin air, like indestructible blades, shredding the three Desecrated Beasts beside her into pieces.

“Boom!”

The air trembled violently.

Yana’s figure appeared beside Karl as if teleporting, reaching out to grab the black glow.

“Bang!”

The force of the impact surged.

Figures flew in all directions.

Karl’s expression was solemn, and he shook his hand, summoning the rune in his palm, seven flames appearing out of thin air around him.

Seven flames,

Just one more than six, but it meant that the rune’s power had reached the late first order from the mid-first order.

During this time, he had been constantly refining runes, and by chance, a late first order rune was born.

Of course,

His refining level was still terrible; it was mainly due to the special materials that he had the opportunity to strike it lucky.

“Boom!”

The seven flames crashed down.

The endless flames surged, and the remaining three Desecrated Beasts were instantly burned to ashes.

And at Yana’s location, a pale white arm suddenly appeared, pulling her underground and disappearing.

Earth tunneling?

Karl’s eyes twitched, and he landed on the ground, carefully examining it.

Things had developed too quickly, so fast that he hadn’t reacted at all.

From the beginning of Yana’s fight with the Desecrated Beasts, to the appearance of six Desecrated Beasts that dragged him into the fray.

Then, an assassin suddenly appeared.

And the assassin’s appearance caused Yana to suddenly go berserk, blocking the fatal blow for him.

At such a close distance, the Chain Fireball should have injured the assassin.

But the other party hid behind Yana, avoiding most of the attack, and in the end, even escaped with Yana.

“Did you see that?”

Boken, who had narrowly escaped, roared loudly:

“This is why the Holy Sanctuary must eliminate the first generation Desecrated Knights; sooner or later, they will turn into monsters, no matter how docile or pious they may seem before, they will eventually become monsters!”

“Huh?” Karl squinted:

“Are you saying that the one who assassinated me just now was also a Desecrated Knight?”

“Yes!” Boken nodded:

“I didn’t detect her when she was hiding, but as soon as she appeared, that scent on her was all too familiar.”

“The existence that desecrates the gods!”

“Betrayer!”

“Guardian! Karl!” He looked directly at Karl and said loudly:

“Those betrayers will not let you go; they will never allow the Goddess to awaken, so come back to the Holy Sanctuary with me…”

“Go back to the Holy Sanctuary?” Karl shook his head, his tense spirit slowly relaxing:

“Forget it!”

“Since they are all Desecrated Knights, then Yana should be fine. Why don’t you tell me some of the techniques that only Guardians can cultivate? That way, when others come to kill me, I’ll have the power to protect myself.”

“Don’t you think so?”

“Okay!” Boken nodded, suddenly attacking:

“Fall down for me!”

“Bang!”

Someone fell.

But it wasn’t Karl.

“Overestimating yourself.”

Shaking his head, Karl waved his sleeve, drawing a pattern full of mysterious aura in the field.

“You think that if you don’t tell me, I won’t be able to find out?”

“Lord of Source Essence!”

“King of Myriad Forms!”

“…”
