For them, I believe in superior firepower

Chapter 12 The Worries of the Holy Maiden

Xia En didn't lose consciousness, but was mentally exhausted and his body was limp, so he couldn't use his strength.

In other words, being able to directly kill the black crystal cat with three bullets was definitely something that shocked him so much that he couldn't even make himself faint.

The reason is very simple. The strength of the black crystal cat is equal to that of the ability users of Sequence Seven, and it is still a strange beast that focuses on close combat and only has a small amount of long-range attack skills.

Such a ferocious thing, the skull could be slashed by the front of the knight's long sword without breaking, but it was killed by his spirit-enchanted projectile + triple hit in one blow?

In the past, it was something Xia En didn't even dare to dream about.

A Sequence Nine gunner and a Sequence Eight solo fighter confronted each other head-on, directly killing a Sequence Seven beast.

Speaking of this matter, even experienced ability users would just scoff at it.

Of course, this is not accurate, because Xia En's current external identity is just a Sequence Nine patient.

But the focus of the current behavior is not here.

Because the saint had basically recovered her ability to move after the death of the black crystal cat, and rushed towards Xia En directly.

"Xia En!" In her urgency, she didn't even care about Merici, she just wanted to check if Xia En was injured.

After all... She knows the recoil of the steam rifle.

And her eyesight allowed her to tell that Xia En fired the three projectiles in a blink of an eye.

Moreover, she also saw the "transfusion" used by Xia En on the projectile.

In other words, she no longer had any doubts about Xia En's identity.

And the current dangerous scene that almost cost Shane and Merici their lives was caused by her alone.

"I'm sorry..." Seeing Xia En leaning on Li Wei's body after being caught by Li Wei, the saint's heart was full of regret, but she could only say this sentence.

"Mr. Saintess, why don't you put away the black crystal cat's body first?" Seeing the moist look in the eyes of the Saintess, Xia En hurriedly reminded, "This is quite a good raw material!"

After gasping for a few breaths, he tried his best to raise his finger and pointed in the direction of Meric, "There is also Knight Meric, I don't know how his injury is..."

The saint was stunned for a moment, then nodded and walked towards Meric.

"Master Saint..." Although the black crystal cat stood still when it was hit by Xia En, Meric waited until its head exploded and its body fell limply, before finally lowering the long sword and leaning on it. Watch him stand up straight.

However, when he saw that the saint had recovered and ran towards Xia En immediately, he couldn't help but smile bitterly for a while.

Although he knew that the saint's desire for Xia En was getting stronger, he never thought that after the battle, the saint would put his confidant aside and take care of Xia En first.

"...I'm sorry, Meric." The saint could naturally see the emotions of her confidant, "I'm sorry for Xia En..."

"My lord, now is not the time to talk about this." Meric simply interrupted the saint, "We should return to the monastery immediately!"

The saint was silent for a moment before she nodded, "You're right."

She looked up at Meric, and at her somewhat embarrassed subordinate, "Is it difficult to ride a horse?"

"How could it be, my lord saint." Meric smiled and hammered his chest. "Although I am not as good as those born on horseback in the northern region, I am still a first-class rider in the kingdom!"

"A small injury, how can it affect this?"

"That's good." The saint nodded in response, raised her hand, gathered the holy light in her palm, and put it close to Meric's left arm.

"Pay attention to your physical condition, and if you find something wrong, tell me immediately." The saint didn't stop for a moment, and after briefly suppressing Meric's injuries, she walked directly towards the black crystal cat.

She took out a storage bag from behind to activate it, and took the rest of the black crystal cat's body into it.

Turning around, seeing Meric walking in the direction of the horse, the saint just jumped lightly and returned to Xia En's side, then picked him up and jumped onto the back of the white horse.

"Li Wei, you continue to ride with Meric." Pingan ordered, and the saint took the initiative to put Xia En's hands around her waist, and after confirming that he was sitting firmly, she held the reins and urged the white horse back to the monastery.

Both Meric and Li Wei saw her actions, but they couldn't say a word anyway.

She is a saint, and Xia En sitting behind her is the fierce man who killed the black crystal cat...

What can I say?

As for Xia En, he could no longer control his movements, so he could only cling to the saint's back, and even occasionally smell the fragrance from her hair.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the early days of the game, when the team was just formed.

At that time, he and the three heroines were all Sequence Ninth ability users, and they collected all the money to exchange for two horses from the Holy Kingdom. In the end, they could only be divided into two groups of four, and the two shared a ride. .

And whoever he chooses to ride with as the hero will directly affect the favorability of the heroines towards him.

It's just that at that time, in order to stabilize the situation, he chose the sergeant major and left Oliveira and the witch aside.

Later, when better means of transportation became available, there was no such thing anymore.

But now, when he changed his path and came back again, the one riding with him became Oliveira.

That slut who is full of him.

Sticking to the back of the saint, Xia En suddenly felt a little sleepy.

"Olly..." Memories flashed in his mind, but he just muttered softly and fell asleep.

Compared to his unintentional actions, the saint froze completely.

However, after realizing that Shane had passed out, she somewhat relaxed.

But when she wanted to turn her head to look at Xia En, she hesitated.

Did he recognize me and call my name?
Or is it thinking of our past, so calling me?
Many possibilities flashed through the saint's mind.

But she knew that no matter what the reason was, it meant that Xia En hadn't forgotten her.

This made her... somewhat relieved, and even the thought of bullying Xia En had faded a lot.

Instead of rushing up, there was some hesitation and fear.

We haven't seen each other for three years, why didn't she take off the mask and recognize him after confirming Xia En's identity?

Perhaps it was to torment him, to express the anger in his heart.

Or maybe... because she hasn't seen him for a long time, she doesn't know how to face Xia En.

Should she continue to press on Shane like before?

Or should we leave enough distance for him so that he can be more comfortable?
she does not know.

Fortunately, at least she knew that Xia En hadn't forgotten her.
