Monster Lord: The Goblin Offers the Saintess to Me at the Start

A flash of surprise crossed Vikalina's eyes. She hadn't expected that she could unleash such terrifying power at this moment.

In the next instant, the female knight had already reached Sivis's side, standing in front of her somewhat disheveled companion. She offered a gentle smile, "Are you okay?"

Vikalina reached out to touch Sivis's body.

The internal injuries Sivis had just sustained from the divine power battling within him were rapidly repaired by this touch.

"Does this feel a bit like the 'Flame of Salvation' someone posted on a video site in my previous life?"

Sivis was taken aback.

Vikalina's heritage from the Spear of Holy Flame, he did not know about.

But earlier, there had been a player who accidentally obtained a power called the "Flame of Salvation," which was very similar to Vikalina's current state.

In this state, the player would have nearly infinite mana, and all their skill powers would be significantly enhanced. Touching an ally would provide strong healing effects and alleviate mental stress.

Once this flame began, it could not be stopped. It would forcibly burn the user into a crystal.

In the game, the effect was that after using this skill once, the character would be rendered unusable, and the player would have to create a new character.

In other words.

Vikalina... is already dead.

Just temporarily still alive?

Sivis was stunned at this moment, staring blankly at the person in front of him.

"As long as you're safe, don't worry. I promised I would always protect you. I will wait for your breakthrough, then send you to a safe place. You have a territory, right? I will take you there."

The female knight spoke softly, her eyes gentle and warm as she looked at Sivis.

She usually didn't talk much, but the serene expression she wore now made people feel incredibly uneasy.

The extremely brilliant and dazzling flames surrounding the female knight foretold her death.

The flames had just started burning, and Vikalina might have only consumed a bit of her life force, without even diminishing her potential. But she was already on a countdown to her end.

The burning was swift and brutal, and this young girl who had been with him for nearly half a month was about to reach the end of her life.

"What is this? I took a risk to avoid Vikalina's sacrifice, and it ends with her death?"

Sivis couldn't keep up the facade anymore. He no longer spoke about his own interests or the safety of his people.

These things were important, but they weren't enough to make him take such a risk.

He had been influenced by Vikalina from the start, which led him to attempt to forcibly absorb the Blood Clan's divine power.

Of course, he had overlooked the risks at that time.

It almost went wrong.

If not for Vikalina's sacrifice, he would be dead now.

Now, Sivis's wish had been fulfilled. The Blood Clan's divine power could be absorbed, and his people could be protected.

But Vikalina was about to be gone.

"What a joke, what a joke!"

A hint of madness flashed in Sivis's eyes. He no longer paid attention to what Vikalina was saying, nor did he appreciate the female knight's current beauty. Instead, he quickly searched the system store for any items that could interrupt the "Flame of Salvation."

After a thorough search, Sivis let his arm fall limply.

The system store was vast, offering dozens of ways to deal with the "Flame of Salvation," including soul transfer devices, the Abomination of the Evil God, the Guidance Stone of Light, and the Scroll of Divine Proclamation.

But these items were at least diamond or legendary-tier resources, requiring tens of thousands of soul points to acquire!

Some items even involved the realm of gods, and the system directly indicated that the corresponding divine power had not been obtained, making them unexchangable.

Sivis could only helplessly close the system window and silently looked at Vikalina beside him.

The female knight, however, smiled for some reason. She boldly stepped forward and hugged Sivis. "It's okay, but can you promise me one thing?"

"I hope that after I'm gone, you will continue on my path."

"I was too naive. Just thinking about how to change the world was already so difficult. I often had headaches in the church, feeling like I couldn't find a way forward."

"But you can, Sivis! Your survival is more important than mine."

Vikalina's tone was very calm, not as passionate as when ordinary people speak of their ideals.

Sivis remained silent.

Seeing his expression, Vikalina's usually rational and gentle demeanor couldn't hold. Her face suddenly twitched, and her eyes turned slightly red, but no tears appeared.

The holy flames evaporated the crystalline tears that had just formed at the corners of her eyes.

She was sacrificing herself for a noble goal, such a great warrior wouldn't shed tears.

Vikalina felt a bit sad. She looked at Sivis, placed her hands on his shoulders, and suddenly knelt down, her forehead touching Sivis's chest. Her body slowly slid down, and her hair gently fluttered in the air.

In a daze, Sivis heard Vikalina say for the first time, "I... I don't want to die."

Before Sivis could react or offer any comfort, the female knight suddenly lifted her head and leaned forward with her face. Sivis felt himself kiss the lips of the young girl. The touch was very smooth and warm from the Fire of Sacrifice, a rather pleasant experience.

But they didn't close their eyes and kiss passionately like lovers usually do.

Vikalina had a very high affinity for Sivis, but it wasn't romantic love.

Perhaps in the dire situation in the sewers, the bridge effect had generated some affection, but it wasn't a love that would last until death...

They were in a relationship of knight and lord.

In her dying moments, perhaps because of her hopes for the future and for love, Vikalina couldn't resist making this somewhat bold move.

But when their eyes met, they saw only desolation and despair.

Sivis felt that his breakthrough still required about half an hour.

Yes, a full half an hour.

He had been comforting himself, fooling himself, pretending there was still a chance, but in reality, he was still far from breaking through.

The delay with the Blood Clan had only bought him a few minutes.

No matter how hard he tried, this final half hour was an insurmountable gap.

From the beginning, one of them had to make a sacrifice.

Vikalina had taken the lead in igniting herself, and all Sivis could do was silently endure it all.

But he felt no joy.

On the contrary, Vikalina, seeing this, suddenly showed a faint smile, "It's okay, you don't have to be too sad for me. When the flames burn, I don't feel much pain. If there's no battle, I can still stay with you for a day or two."

"By then, introduce me to your territory. How about burying me in your lord's manor?"

"No! I heard I'll turn into a crystal. How about this, you put me in your workshop, and I'll keep an eye on you! To make sure you're following our ideals!"

Vikalina didn't have a talent for joking.

Sivis closed his eyes slightly.

He had thought earlier that, as an Evil God, he couldn't afford to be impulsive like this again and needed to focus on developing his power.

But the Fire of Sacrifice from Vikalina also dispelled his selfish thoughts.

For the first time, he seriously began to consider how feasible the words he had spoken to the female knight actually were...

Vikalina was about to leave this world.

But Sivis felt that there might still be something he could do?

...

In this atmosphere, the many Blood Servants couldn't get close. They were continuously purified and burned as they approached.

Just by standing here, Vikalina was causing severe casualties among these evil creatures.

But just as the two of them fell into silence again, a strange sound suddenly came.

Vikalina tilted her head slightly. After gaining immense power from her sacrifice, she almost ignored the Silver-Rank Blood Clan.

Now, seeing that he hadn't died, the female knight showed a hint of curiosity and delight.

She was curious about how he could withstand her attack and delighted that the one who had pushed her and Sivis to this extreme hadn't been killed by a single strike.

Excellent!

Vikalina knew that holy light caused intense pain to these monsters, and she couldn't resist the urge to vent.

The female knight wasn't a saint, she too felt pain, anger, and madness when facing her impending death. She just didn't want to show this side to Sivis.

The Blood Clan opened his crimson eyes.

He casually grasped the knight's lance embedded in his waist and abdomen, and with a series of "cracks," pulled it out bit by bit. Then, with a "clang," he tossed the lance to the ground.

His figure shook, and with the motion, his skull and neck bones made a series of crisp sounds.

The area where he had been struck by the lance and burned by holy light flames was rapidly healing, as if the flames had encountered their nemesis and were being extinguished.

Vikalina's face changed instantly. She waved her hand, and the knight's lance returned to her grasp. She then positioned it in front of Sivis.

Sivis was a bit bewildered at the moment. "Wait, you have a trump card too?" He hadn't expected that a Silver-Rank Blood Clan, after forcing Vikalina to use the "Flame of Salvation," would still have the strength to fight back.

This was indeed a blind spot in Sivis's knowledge!

In the previous life's game Gandanyir, this Blood Clan hadn't appeared. What was his story?

So strong?

Indeed, the biggest difference between reality and the game was that countless potential heroes, who could have grown into figures with grand stories, had died early...

So, any corner might produce a formidable opponent...
