Chapter 234 Processing
There was a trace of nostalgia in Joel's eyes. He looked at the figures galloping over from a distance. He raised his right hand slightly, trying to call for help, but in the end his right hand was still weak and his eyes became dim.
"Well..." Rafael's whole body twitched, and his expression became extremely ferocious.
Densely dense special lines appeared inside his body. These lines formed chains of order. While protecting him, they also caused him great pain...
The rules from the dream world and the special rules in Rafal's body began to compete with each other. Although the rules of the dream were more powerful, they could not directly obliterate Rafal in an instant under the defense of chains. With this effort, Rafael took out a small sculpture from his storage space.
What is depicted on the sculpture is a special monster with nine heads and one hundred arms. However, of the nine heads of this monster, the single eye on three heads has been closed, and even these three heads look dilapidated. , and there are different traces of damage on it.
Click, click, click...
The next moment, the eyes of the fourth head of the sculpture began to slowly close, and at the same time as the eyes closed, Rafal's regular power from the dream world also began to transfer towards the head of the sculpture.
Click——
As if the sculpture's endurance had reached its limit, the monster's fourth head suddenly began to disintegrate from the inside, eventually turning into debris on the ground.
Click, click, click...
The remaining power of the rules continued to be transferred to the fifth head position under the guidance of the sculpture, and the sculpture bore the terrifying backlash of the rules for Rafael.
However, although the backlash of the rules was borne by the sculpture for Rafael, some of the pain could only be borne by Rafael himself.
"Ahhhh..." In a blur, a thin shadow appeared. Its expression was distorted, and the blood vessels on its body were bulging in large areas. It looked like it might burst at any time. It looked terrifying and ferocious.
Click——
At this time, the fifth head of the sculpture also exploded completely. With the remaining power of the rules, Rafael was reluctant to sacrifice another sculpture head, but chose to use an object similar to a scarecrow to give them to Cleaned out of the body.
"Rafal!" At this time, the knights in the distance also rushed to the scene. They looked at Joel with a dagger stuck in his back with some surprise, and then looked at his pale face. Rafael didn't understand what was happening for a moment.
"You...you just killed Joel? And where are Captain Forgan and the others?"
A knight's eyes were burning. He had the best eyesight among the people. He saw some blurry images in the distance. Although it was not very clear, there were only two people here, Rafael and Joel, so he judged that the result was not correct. It's difficult.
Although the other knights could not see clearly, after hearing the questions from their companions and combined with the blurry pictures they had seen before, they had some guesses in their minds, and they looked at Rafael with a somewhat unkind look.
After all, they and the team responsible for the investigation are all brothers within the Knights. Although their relationship is not as close as that of friends in the same team, they have trained together and been on the battlefield together, and they have a deep friendship.
When facing Rafal, who was most likely a murderous beast, these knights had a murderous look in their eyes. If Rafal hadn't contained the blood of the Trujillo family, I'm afraid these knights wouldn't have given up. Instead of giving Farr a chance to explain, he would take advantage of this opportunity to deal with Rafal directly.
"They... they were contaminated by demonic energy..." Rafael's voice trembled slightly, and combined with his pale face, it made the knights look at each other for a moment, and the weapons in their hands were slightly withdrawn.
"Where is Brother Fulgen? He is an awakened person who is just a little bit short of being rated as 'A'. His awakened talent is good at life-saving [Hard Armor]. Even if he is contaminated by demonic energy, he can still return. Wait until We rescued it, right?”
One of the knights frowned, with obvious anger on his expression.
When he entered the Knights, Fulgrim was leading him. Although Fulgrim was no longer in the squadron at this time, there was an almost master-disciple relationship between the two. He looked at Rafael suspiciously, with the death mark in his right hand. Death grabbed his sword, and it seemed that as long as Rafael dared to lie, he would directly take action and kill Rafael.
A coldness flashed deep in Rafael's eyes, but the next moment a trace of blood appeared on the corner of his mouth. His already pale face became even more ugly, and he fainted on the ground in a flash.
"team leader?"
Several knights looked at their squad leader.
"Control it first and take it back. By the way, take the body back and give it to the military doctors to check." The team leader glanced coldly at Rafael who was unconscious on the ground, but finally gritted his teeth and said this.
"Damn it!" The knight who had a deep friendship with Fulgrim jumped off his horse angrily and kicked Rafael in anger.
The other knights did not speak, and they tacitly covered up the matter.
…
"Captain, we followed the traces of the previous reconnaissance team and found the remains of Fulgen and the others... This method is suspected to be the talent of 'manipulating flames' of the Mentel family, and it may also come from the 'flame lineage' of the demons. '. In addition, military doctor Zenani did detect an extremely weak demonic aura from Joel..."
Hercules listened silently to his subordinate's report with a calm expression. Zenani? He knew that woman, and even knew the identity of the suspected player. She was even one of Rafael's most frequent friends...
"There are still some methods." Hercules commented.
"If it is a demon, then the demons Fulgen and the others encountered before are probably at the S level. Otherwise, with Fulgen's strength, they would not be directly killed by the demons without much resistance."
Quite, who was responsible for reporting the details of the incident, did not know that the person Hercules was talking about was Rafael. At this time, he looked at Hercules with a serious expression, "And the demon nest that can breed S-class demons must be at least large. The Demon's Nest, maybe even the legendary super-large Demon's Nest..."
"I know this very well, but let's talk about Rafael first." Hercules tapped his fingers on the table.
Quite opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
After all, he knew that the relationship between Rafael and his boss Roland seemed to be quite close...
"Rafal has certain suspicions. If we follow the normal handling method, he may need to undergo verification for a period of time. However, we are now in a state of crusade and it is an emergency. According to regulations, the temporary disposal power belongs to you, the leader. All you need to do is Just register after you return.”
Quette kicked the ball back to Hercules.
"Shall I do?" Hercules raised his eyes slightly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
He naturally knew how "innocent" Rafael was, but now was not a good time to completely fall out with him.
"Let's do this. First... remember this once. Then, you ask Rafael to come to my place, and I will ask him some things personally. If the demons really appear as he described, I will personally talk to the head of the family. He explained that he would never allow a good person to be wronged, and would never tolerate any bad person!"
Hercules's voice was sonorous, but in Quint's ears, it still sounded more or less like Rafael's. After all, it sounded nice to have a serious demerit, but there was no actual punishment.
"Yes, Captain!" But he didn't say anything in the end, saluted Hercules and left quickly.
Not long after, Rafael was brought in.
"Sister Roland..." Rafael lowered his head, looking like he had done something wrong.
"You all should go out first." Hercules waved his hand gently, signaling the knights on the side to leave. Then he walked up to Rafael and stared at the "dream master" with a hint of inquiry deep in his eyes.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Looking at [Roland] who looked normal at this time, Rafael breathed a sigh of relief. The first thing he did after untying the shackles that bound him was to hold [Roland]'s hand, and then he relaxed Take a breath.
"Hey...Sister Roland, please listen to my explanation, this matter is not..." Rafael carefully explained while observing Hercules's attitude. When he saw Hercules' overly calm expression at this time, he couldn't help but panic.
"Fulgrim is my old subordinate. He is very stable and reliable." Hercules calmly took out his hand and crossed his arms across his chest. In this way, he changed his direction and declined Rafael's physical contact. .
"Um...Sister Roland, the main reason is that he and I have some personal grudges..." Rafael hesitated. In front of [Roland], he did not dare to say that he had an ambiguous relationship with another girl and it also led to that. The death of a young girl.
After all, his image in front of Roland is that of an "innocent little brother". If Roland knew that he was playing so unrestrainedly, he would probably draw his knight's sword and hack him to death.
But if he didn't explain the matter clearly, he couldn't explain why he wanted to kill Fulgrim. In this case, it would be difficult for him to convince Roland to side with him and help cover up the truth of the matter.
"There is no other way..." Rafael's helplessness reached an extreme. He gritted his teeth and looked at the tent where he and Hercules were alone at this time, but he suddenly took out a special stone ball from his pocket.
The surface of the stone ball is full of pits, and special miasma emerges from inside these holes.
"You..." Hercules felt dizzy, and his mental energy became somewhat hazy under the influence of this miasma.
But soon, the core of Hercules' consciousness was protected by a light curtain composed of a layer of data flow. His consciousness returned to consciousness, but he still maintained this "hypnotized" state.
At this time, Rafael did not notice it and continued to tell his "story".
"Sister Roland, the thing is..."
