Chapter 316: Silencing
"Huff, huff…"
Karoso was breathing heavily.
Netizens said Aileen and this person were locked in a tough battle, and it was only after much effort that they finally defeated their opponent.
Karoso experienced it himself, and he was indeed very strong.
Both Karoso and the netizens thought that the burst card could easily defeat the opponent, but they never expected it to come to this level.
The Death Knight’s resistance to the burst card was much greater than that of other classes.
Especially since it seemed he had lost his normal senses; he could not withstand the damage from the burst card, which led to a sudden explosion of power, unlike the previous seventh-tier who was affected right from the start.
Using the burst card against the Death Knight was definitely the wrong choice.
Of course, Karoso did not have a better fourth-tier deck. In a normal duel, he could win, but it would likely be a tough victory like now. He had to use his shooting skills as a secret weapon and find a way to outsmart his opponent.
[This thing is quite powerful!]
[Maybe we underestimated Aileen. If Aileen is struggling, how good can Master Karoso be?]
[Yes, Aileen is also a genius in battle.]
[Aileen is using a completely countering deck.]
[It’s a pity that Emperor Goufuh starts at fifth-tier; otherwise, double magic power would defeat him.]
"Karoso!"
Before Karoso could react, a beautiful woman rushed over and hugged him tightly. "I’m so glad you’re okay!"
Karoso instinctively hugged Aileen back and spun around.
Swish!
Celica quickly moved to stand beside Karoso and Aileen.
Celica nodded and smiled slightly, "Well done."
"Thank you," Karoso nodded and set Aileen down.
"Death Knight…" Celica looked at the figure lying on the ground, deep in thought.
"Host, I won. Aren’t you going to announce it?" Karoso’s eyes were on the host.
"Well…" The host saw the red moon vanish, the Death Knight gone, and the strange black mist disappear, then climbed up from behind the podium. "Let us congratulate Karoso Colloa for making it to the top eight!"
"Oh!"
"Karoso is amazing!"
"So strong!"
"I accept you now!"
In the middle of the event, the audience members who stayed to watch the game on their way out began to cheer.
Death Knight, a profession that has vanished from the land for too long.
Besides the church, no one knows how to fight against a Death Knight. If a normal person encounters such a long-lost profession, they will definitely face great trouble.
But Karoso, with his amazing Explosive Deck Thief, managed to defeat the Death Knight using explosive cards.
Paul is not just a Death Knight; he is also The Favored One!
"Speaking of which…" Karoso frowned as he looked at the guy on the ground holding his head, "This is Laria, so why is there a Death Knight here? How did such a long-lost profession appear?"
Celica’s expression gradually became serious upon hearing this.
Even she could not provide a reasonable explanation.
Buzz!
At that moment, a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Paul.
"Ah!" Paul screamed in anguish.
"No!" Celica tried to reach out to stop it, but as a fighting Pastor, she had no healing abilities.
Moreover, Holy Light’s healing was a death sentence for the Death Knight.
Crackle, crackle…
Before their eyes, the Death Knight gradually turned into charcoal.
Celica’s eyes widened in disbelief as she turned to look at Ricardo above the arena.
"You…" Celica really wanted to swing her sword and strike down this scoundrel.
This is the only survivor; no one knows how he became a Death Knight!
The caretakers of the Wizard Association and the Knights Association also rushed over.
The two exchanged glances, shocked that Ricardo would actually take such drastic action.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Ricardo used an amplification spell this time and shouted to the surrounding crowd, "Please rest assured, the Church of Dawn Goddess has zero tolerance for the existence of Death Knights! We, the Church of Dawn Goddess, will definitely protect everyone’s safety!"
"Such beings will be ruthlessly eliminated as soon as they appear in the sunlight!"
"The Favored One? What of the evil god’s Dependent!"
"I, Ricardo, stand here today, and it is I who will slay this evil god’s Dependent!"
"If the evil god has any objections, it can come find me itself."
"For everyone’s safety, and for our faith in the dawn, I am not afraid of the evil god!"
"Any moves from the cult will be defeated by us!"
"The appearance of Eternal Sun just now is the best proof!"
"Goddess Aurora watches over everyone!"
Ricardo spoke passionately, receiving thunderous applause from the audience.
Killing a Favored One requires great courage, because it means facing the church under that god.
Moreover, even though the voice of the god has been silent for a long time, not everyone dares to touch their Dependent.
The wizard attendant and the knight attendant understood as well.
The Church of the Dawn Goddess has always prohibited Death Knights.
The major churches have been fighting against the Death Knight for so long, and now, right under the Cardinal’s nose, a Death Knight has appeared. This is a huge blow to the reputation of the church.
Ricardo had to do this to calm the crowd and show his determination.
Ricardo is a Law Enforcer, and his actions are not wrong. It’s like a police officer accidentally shooting a criminal.
As for how he appeared, we can investigate that later.
"Paul!"
A sharp scream echoed from afar, but the sound could not reach this place.
"Bishop Celica!" Karoso quickly ran to Celica’s side, "That girl over there seems to know this person. We must protect her; we can’t let her be silenced."
Silenced!
These two words sounded in Celica’s ears like a thunderclap.
At the auction, the dark elf appeared, and Ricardo’s seemingly normal behavior sparked madness in Celica’s mind.
In the original story, White and Sophia helped Celica use their divine power to fight against the Death Knight, making it an easier victory.
By using the Lord of Eternity’s traits from Sophia, they managed to keep Paul safe.
Now, Sophia is studying hard every day with Neymar, while White is busy making cards for the Nature Mage Association, living a 007 life because of Karoso.
Because of this, no one is available to protect Paul.
Karoso has to take on the role that the plot requires, guiding Celica to uncover the truth.
Without one of the key people, it will be very difficult.
"What do you mean by ‘silencing’?" Aileen also overheard.
"There seems to be a problem with this…" Karoso whispered, "This is not something I can be part of… I advise you not to get involved either!"
Karoso did not advise against it, but once he did, Aileen’s sense of justice surged forth, "Bishop Celica, we must investigate this matter. The appearance of a Death Knight in the Pande Empire is no small issue. If needed, you can use my name!"
