Alien Knights

The blood mixed with the soil, fell from the sky like a torrential rain.

Kneeling on the ground, Rachel was like an empty shell whose soul had been sucked out, staring blankly at everything in front of her.

"If you want to continue walking, I can take you to see my master." The crow feather girl looked at the blood mist in the sky and said softly.

Rachel moved, she got up, and walked towards the center of the explosion step by step.

The Crow Feather woman frowned and said behind her: "If I were you, I wouldn't think about going there..."

Rachel continued walking towards the bloody pit as if she hadn't heard of it.

The Crow Feather Girl sighed and followed her footsteps.

In the center of the explosion was a small pond filled with blood, broken bones, and meat residue. In it, nothing humanoid can be seen for a long time.

Without any scruples about the filth and evil things in the pool, Rachel took a step, stepped into the "blood pool", stretched out her hands and began to grope.

The Crow Feather Lady shook her head and persuaded, "Under such an explosion, no one can survive..."

"I'm linked with his soul. If he dies, I'll know..." Rachel said in a low voice, searching with blank eyes.

Hearing the word "soul link", the Crow Feather girl blinked, with a strange expression on her face.

After groping for a while, Rachel's eyes suddenly lit up, and she threw herself into the pool of blood, not surfacing for ten seconds.

Crash!

Two bloody figures struggled to climb up to the shore.

Regardless of the dirt all over her body, Rachel pulled a mutilated body to the ground.

The Crow Feather girl leaned over, and after taking a look at the body, her throat moved slightly, she closed her eyes and turned her head.

It is really difficult to call this "thing" a human being, or define it as a corpse.

The impact of the explosion tore the right arm and left leg of the body from the torso, and a huge wound was opened in the chest. Through the thoracic diaphragm, even the bright red heart could be faintly seen.

Rachel took the clothes and desperately wiped the blood on the body.

The scales shining with steel luster are gradually revealed, and the owner of this body is also about to be revealed - Todd.

"Is he still alive?"

The Crow Feather Lady looked at the tester in front of her and asked uncertainly.

Rachel lay on Todd's chest, listened carefully to the sound, then opened his mouth, sucking and spitting out the filth in it to the ground bit by bit.

Half a minute later, Todd took a long breath and slowly woke up.

With his distorted face and clenched jaws, anyone could tell that this man was in great pain.

Todd opened his mouth slightly and said something, but because his voice was too low, no one could hear his words clearly.

Rachel put her ear to his mouth, waited for a while, and finally heard Todd's request.

"kill me……"

Lifting her head suddenly, Rachel looked at Todd's body with a shocked face. The mutation has taken over his whole body, only one eye still retains the original human appearance.

Todd's next sentence was louder: "While I... am still a human being..."

Rachel hugged Todd's body, first choked up a few times, then shook her head while crying loudly, tears washed the blood on her face and flowed into the ground under her feet.

In Todd's eyes, the scene in front of him began to become blurred. He looked at the sky blankly, and whispered again: "Everyone is fine... hurry... kill me..."

Rachel wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeve, put Todd's mutilated body on her back, struggled to get up, opened her blood red eyes, and asked loudly: "He has passed the test of 'will' and 'strength'! Please save him!"

Looking at the two people in front of her, the Crow Feather girl shook her head slightly: "There is one last trial..."

"Look at him!" Rachel screamed loudly, "Do you think he can fight again?!"

The Raven Feather woman turned and walked towards the temple, whispering: "The last trial, called the 'Trial of Fate', has nothing to do with combat. Come on, we have a long way to go."

Carrying Todd on her back, Rachel followed behind the guide with one foot deep and one shallow foot, and walked along the path in the forest towards the direction of the temple.

She could clearly feel that the man on the back was doing the final struggle on the spiritual battlefield between humanity and monsters.

That battle was far more cruel and desperate than this "strength" trial.

"Todd, do you remember? The first time we met, you deliberately chose to curl up in order not to face a lady with your feet. At that time, I was thinking, how could there be such a guy in the world..." In order to divert the attention of the person on the back, Rachel cheered up and said with a forced smile.

"During the time we got along after that, I gradually discovered that in this dark and hopeless world, there is a person who can clearly realize his ambitions and desires with strength and foolish faith. In the end, he is willing to contribute everything he has to everyone." Rachel seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "The existence of this kind of person is like a savior from another world, who came to redeem us."

Todd twisted his body, blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth to Rachel's shoulder, and he murmured something unconsciously.

Feeling the warm liquid on her back, Rachel's tears flowed down again: "Facts have proved... I was right. There really is a savior who came to us from another world. He hates all evil, is hostile to all injustice, and spreads hope and goodness to the mortal world."

"You know, what did I see in the illusion during the "Trial of Will"?" Rachel turned her back on Todd, tears dripping down her chest: "I saw a world without you... a world where you never appeared. On the stake of the church, dissidents were burned at every moment, the people turned into evil spirits for their belly, and the king turned into a demon for power. War, famine, plague, and death ravaged the whole world. Fisher, promise me! Don't die! If you die, this world will become a scene from my nightmare!"

"Here we are."

The Raven Feather Woman pointed to the gate of the temple and said to Rachel.

The latter looked up, and on the moss-covered ancient Tairo-style temple platform stood a stunning queen with purple hair reaching her waist. Wearing a crown of thorns, she looked solemn and aloof. She looked at the tester's red eyes without any emotion, but with indifference and detachment.

The Raven Feather woman crouched slowly on the ground, folded her hands on her chest, and said, "This is my master. She is the queen of the shadow kingdom, the judge of the underworld, and the patron saint of the dark gate. Her name is 'Skaha'."
