Chapter 674: Chapter 28: Is Bishop Rocky Also Going to Beco the Forr One? (Part 2)
Fenris also snapped out of his surprise and then nodded slightly, “It seems that what Bishop Rocky encountered wasn’t that guy, so naturally we will go to help.”
The Chief Knight nodded repeatedly and imdiately commanded the knights to prepare to set off.
Just before departing, he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Rocky, who was slowly leaving with the support of others.
Mainly to look at Rocky’s right hand.
Because his right hand was a bloody ss, with only a lonely thumb connected to the flesh, it was a heart-wrenching sight.
What kind of enemy could actually chop off four fingers of Bishop Rocky!
After taking a deep breath, the Chief Knight said nothing more and imdiately led his Rhein Knights and Eternal Nightmare Apostles to the place where Rocky fought earlier.
The location was easy to find, they arrived there in less than five minutes.
The place was already in ruins, with various deep pits and sword marks, just looking at them one could imagine what kind of battle had taken place there.
The Chief Knight imdiately ordered the search for “that woman” referred to by Bishop Rocky.
But unfortunately, besides the chaos, they found nothing.
…
anwhile, Edwin, who had returned to the inn, carefully knocked on Hervenia’s door.
“Uh, Miss Hervenia, are you okay?”
After a brief silence, Hervenia’s voice ca from the room, “This is the third ti you’ve asked in half an hour. What, are you hoping I’ll die sooner?”
“Of course not,” Edwin said, “I was just worried sothing might happen to you. After all, given how you were just now, do you really not need to take a look at you? I do know so healing spells after all.”
“No need to heal ,” Hervenia said blandly, “If you’re thinking of making a move against right now, you can just co in, no need to use so many excuses to test .”
“Look how you’re talking. Why would I make a move against you?” Edwin said righteously, “Aren’t we companions?”
“Oh, really?” Hervenia said aningfully, “Do you really not want to get my corpse fragnts?”
Edwin froze, then tentatively asked, “Do you really have corpse fragnts?”
“Who knows?” Hervenia said indifferently, “You can co in and see for yourself.”
Edwin instinctively wanted to open the door, but when he raised his hand, he rembered Hervenia’s earlier words, “If you want to make a move, just co in,” and imdiately stopped. After hesitating for a mont, he withdrew his hand and said awkwardly, “What do you take for? Even if you really have corpse fragnts, I wouldn’t make a move against you. You got injured to help , and if I kick you when you’re down now, wouldn’t that make a beast?”
Hervenia did not respond, and it was unclear if she didn’t want to or had fallen into unconsciousness.
This made Edwin frown.
He had co to find Hervenia three tis within half an hour, not because he was worried about Hervenia, but to probe her physical condition.
The battle Hervenia had with Rocky earlier profoundly shocked Edwin, the scene of almost instantly killing Rhein Bishop was sothing he probably could never forget in his lifeti.
But besides being shocked, Edwin’s heart was also filled with many doubts.
How did Hervenia know Rocky was a Corpse Fragnt Holder, and how did she manage to reach such a level with Rhein Bishop who had corpse fragnts?
The first point especially deserved deep thought. Although Edwin did not have corpse fragnts, he knew that holders of corpse fragnts are attracted to each other. If Hervenia also had corpse fragnts, it would naturally explain the second question; Seven Notes plus corpse fragnts, defeating one Rhein Bishop would indeed be no problem.
However, Edwin had witnessed Hervenia’s battle from start to finish and never saw her use any rule, just the power of the Seven Notes almost killed Rocky.
Indeed, it was just one step away. If there had been the added power of a corpse fragnt, wouldn’t that have supplented it?
But why didn’t she use it?
Was it because she didn’t have it, or because… she already used it?
Edwin couldn’t help thinking about Hervenia’s state at her last crucial mont, her entire body seed to be corrupted by so virus, and her flesh was almost falling off her bones.
At that ti, Edwin thought she was going to die there, but unexpectedly, Hervenia not only survived but even managed to return here.
Edwin thought that might have been her last breath, and soon after returning she would pass on, but she never died.
During the half-hour in which Edwin kept knocking on her door, he could clearly feel Hervenia’s condition improving. Initially, she was so weak she could barely speak, but just now she could converse calmly.
This was just within half an hour, had she already recovered to this extent?
So is it possible that this is the strength of the corpse fragnt she possesses? Otherwise, it’s really hard to explain.
And she is already a Seven-Tone Player, even without a corpse fragnt, she is one of the top existences in this world, so what about her recent injuries?
Many unexplained doubts surged in Edwin’s heart; he started regretting spending the past six months solely on research and fitness, neglecting to gather outside information. Reasonably, with a person like the Holy Sound appearing, there should be news about her everywhere, and it would be easy for him to know the general situation if he had put so effort in.
But unfortunately, he was now on the run, with Rhein and Eternal Nightmare’s two major pursuers still in this small town, and going out alone was definitely not a good choice at this ti.
As for whether to force Hervenia to hand over the corpse fragnts while she was weak…
If he could go back half an hour, Edwin might have taken action, but Hervenia now had visibly recovered quite a bit, and with his capabilities, trying to snatch the corpse fragnts from Hervenia’s hands would require using that knowledge. However, once he uses that knowledge, being able to defeat Hervenia or not is another matter; first, he would attract the Eternal Nightmare Church’s notice, and by then, escaping would be impossible.
Moreover, he couldn’t be 100% sure that Hervenia had corpse fragnts. Risking a fallout with his most powerful ally over this was indeed a bit foolish.
After coming to this understanding, Edwin made a pretense of telling Hervenia to rest well and assuring that he wouldn’t co again tonight before turning and leaving.
Inside the room, when Hervenia saw Edwin’s feet leave through the gap under the door, she silently put down the magic wand in her hand and then sighed softly.
It was just that little bit more, and she could have killed Rocky.
If her body could hold on for just twenty more seconds, Rocky wouldn’t have been able to escape.
It can only be said that the virus was still too powerful, once she used all the notes in battle, she would imdiately slip towards the abyss of death.
However, even so, she still had a chance to kill Rocky just now, if only she had risked releasing the Heavenly God Wave.
But if she did that, even if she wouldn’t die, she would definitely be at her limits, and afterward, she would likely be picked off by Edwin, an old ghost, which she absolutely did not want to see.
Even if she had to die, she had to ensure her corpse fragnt could reach Bai Wei.
Hervenia looked at the four blood-stained fingers on the table.
Unfortunately, the last four shots all missed, but that was also due to her condition being so poor, managing to fire them was already the limit.
However, missing wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
If she hit, a Rocky who valued corpse fragnts as life might not continue running, and if he stopped to fight her desperately, it would be quite troubleso. Moreover, if Edwin clearly knew she had corpse fragnts, who knows if he would decide to turn against her?
In summary, there’s good and bad.
This was the first ti Hervenia fought with all her might since acquiring the Seven Notes and bones. Although she didn’t achieve a perfect ending, at least she gained experience.
For instance, if there’s a next ti.
First, she should slaughter Edwin.
She thought this way.
