[BL] Heroic Death System (PART 1)

Chapter 23: You Are My Faith (IV)

TL : Snowy Codex

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the man who had been invaded by devil qi returned to normal, everyone present was very amazed. The clergy ordered someone to bring him a bowl of holy water and had him drink it. This kind of holy water could detect whether or not there was devil qi within a person's body, and if there was only a bit, then it could be directly dispelled. If there was too much devil qi, then the person would be in acute pain.

However, holy water doesn't have much effect on King level apostles.

The man drank the holy water with a refreshed expression on his face. The clergies all looked at each other, and although they were suspicious in their hearts, they still declared that the devil qi in the man's body was dispelled.

The man's family cried joyously, and gave many thanks to the clergies.

Clergies: Actually, they are very perplexed too....

Shang Ke's body was stiff as he held back the urge to shudder. Absorbing the devil qi was like eating dark cooking, with a tart feeling that was enough of an "aftertaste" for several days.

Kaiser stared at Shang Ke pensively. Was he seeing things? The devil qi on that man's body seemed to be flowing toward Shang Ke?

"Daddy?" Pupu was confused as she sensed Shang Ke's abnormal state and tugged on his hair a bit.

"It's fine." These two words were pretty much squeezed out between the gaps of Shang Ke's teeth.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see now." Youri ran over, one hand on Kaiser and Shang Ke each as he pushed them out.

Shang Ke staggered from his shove and almost fell. Kaiser quickly helped him, a trace of confusion flashing through his eyes.

Vadula couldn't help but quietly mock him, "For a man, his body is way too lousy."

Although she spoke quietly, they all heard it since they were in close proximity.

Shang Ke stayed silent, his hood hiding his face so they were unable to see his expression. Kaiser and Youri also did not say much and left the light palace hall.

Shang Ke walked very slowly. The other three were already far ahead, but he was still lagging behind, swaying lightly. It was not that he didn't want to walk fast, but the devil qi he just absorbed had caused the originally peaceful devil qi in his body to once again start swelling, "upsetting" his willpower and body from time to time and causing him to feel sore and pained.

Shang Ke couldn't help but once again thank the System for making him go through so much torment in his first world, allowing him to forge such a resistance against pain.

This was truly a fact that made people unable to stop the flow of tears in their hearts.

At this moment, Shang Ke noticed a couple of low ranking apostles that were wandering around them continuously. If it were ordinary people, Shang Ke would not be able to sense them, but the aura of the low ranking apostles were conspicuous, like will-o-wisps in the dark.

He was already unhappy, and yet there were people coming to bother him.

The pressure of a King level apostle suddenly sprang out from Shang Ke's body majestically, brutally cold and threatening. To sum it up, it meant one thing: Scram!

Those low level apostles all shook, their expressions terrified as they looked around, but were unable to find the "Big Boss's" trace. However, they were quite clear that this are was already marked by the Big Boss and did not dare to linger, so they turned around and quickly disappeared within the crowd.
