Four Split Personalities

"I must say, this has been a rather pleasant miscalculation..."

Motan rubbed his forehead wearily and opened the message bar to find the ID ’Falcon’.

Meanwhile

Hodir Mountain Path, Slope A1

Cay Darke hung his head low, trying his best not to listen to the seemingly endless sounds of battle in the distance. He knew that Knight Ger’s admonition was not at all misguided, and he also recognized how naive and superficial his own thoughts had been before. However, that did not mean he could calmly witness the scene on the mountain path, which could no longer be simply described as ’horrific’.

Due to the terrain, the knights at Slope A1 had a clear view of the first and second contact zones. Although these zones were now crowded with a dense mass of monsters after the allied troops had retreated again, the bright red bloodstains on the ground were still distinctly visible, shockingly vivid like massive and delicate roses captivating onlookers.

And as everyone knows, the blood of mutants is black, a cold black.

A breeze, carrying a faint scent of blood, inadvertently made Cay’s robust body shudder.

He had thought he fully understood the meaning of ’torment’ when he trained in the Holy Land, but it wasn’t until that moment that Cay realized what those words he often mentioned really meant.

Even with his head deeply bowed, the shocking bloodstains imprinted on his retina were still unmistakably vivid, forcing him, already sensitive to the color red as a bovine Half-beast Person, to muster all his strength to suppress the restlessness – the urge to break out from here at all costs.

[Control your emotions, let them explode at the right moment.]

Cay silently recalled the last words Ger had said to him as he tightly gripped the reins in his hands, breathing heavily, watching his breath slowly disappear in the cold air, over and over again.

Just then, a somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out...

"Commander’s call!!"

Cay looked up as the Lizardman Knight, who was standing at the very front of the slope alongside a few Advanced Stage Holy Knights, drew out a long spear from nowhere, excitedly yelled, "Commander Hei Fan has ordered all members of the allied Holy Knight Order to prepare, charge at the third contact zone in three minutes..."

Buzz!!!

A sweeping angry red aura interrupted him, enveloping the entire knight formation and coating everyone with a layer of reddish-gold flames, turning over four hundred Holy Knights into towering torches burning under the gloom.

"All knights of the Holy Church Union, heed the order!"

Ger’s piercing voice almost tore through the skies, nearly shaking several knights, including Cay, off their warhorses:

"Advanced Stage Holy Knight Gerbin Fule Sulfur Fernan Carns Padek hereby proclaims—Purification commence! The gods are with us.

"The gods are with us!"

Snow Mane, Fire Tongs, and other high-ranking Holy Knights roared in unison, their reddish-gold auras emerging in white, pale gold, and dark yellow colors, then flowed back into their bodies.

"The gods are with us!"

Four hundred fifty-two mid and low-ranking Holy Knights followed suit with a collective bellow, the auras attached to their armors also burst out in three additional colors, instantly merging into their bodies.

Game Time PM14:49

Hodir Mountain Path, frontline of the third contact zone of the allied forces

"Where the hell are you touching?!"

The blood-stained Gnome Ranger Lorum roared as he released the bowstring, driving a flaming Feather Arrow directly into the head of a distant mutant, blowing off half of its head, releasing the parched hands that clasped tightly around Elf female thief Elsa’s thighs.

"Tha... Thank you! Mr. Lorum!"

The terrified apprentice thief darted forward, her pretty light green eyes shimmering with tears, stuttering in gratitude to the Ranger always kindly looking out for her: "You’ve saved me again!"
