Unas tentatively fired a few Fel Fireballs at the ground, but they all perished within a five-meter radius of Luisa.
It is now almost certain that the barrier has not disappeared, but has been compressed to its limit, and its protective power has been increased to an extremely high level.
Arming oneself into an impenetrable hedgehog is a tactic that is only useful when waiting for reinforcements; otherwise, it's no different from an ostrich burying its head in the sand. Unas sneered; he was definitely not the one who couldn't wait.
But the Dreadlord couldn't wait any longer. It flew unsteadily to Unas's side. "Master," it said, "I can't stay outside the city for too long, otherwise the death of the Blightcaller will easily be linked to me."
The demon left a decoy in Undercity as an alibi, but over time it inevitably slipped up.
Varimathras's weakened fighting strength is negligible, but its Undead minions are at least somewhat useful. Unas nodded and said, "You should go back now. Leave the Undead to me and give me command."
The Dreadlord dared not disobey, and could only nod with some reluctance before transforming into a Giant Bat and flying away alone.
Unas calmly ordered his Undead soldiers to disperse and surround the open space, then landed back on the ground to carefully observe Luisa ahead.
The girl's eyes were closed, her expression solemn, and she remained motionless like a statue. But she couldn't possibly sit like a statue without eating or drinking.
Unas released the abundant Fel within his body, and a dense green light instantly enveloped his entire being. He was unwilling to waste time without trying it himself.
With a loud bang, he pushed off the ground with both feet and rushed towards the seated target like a rocket. When he entered within five meters of the target, the air around him suddenly became viscous and hot, as if he had entered a pool of nearly solid magma, which abruptly reduced his speed to zero.
Unas unleashed his full Fel in an instant, thrusting his sword forward with all his might. The tip of his sword almost touched Luisa's forehead, but the momentum was exhausted, and he could not advance any further.
A powerful force pushed him outwards. Unas, having exhausted his strength, knew he couldn't succeed and retreated.
Although this attack failed, it boosted his confidence even more, because his first attack was a test and he hadn't used his full strength. He knew she wouldn't be able to escape unscathed in the next attack.
The other party clearly realized this as well. The girl quickly stood up from the ground, and the white figure enveloped her again. "So you're not a demon after all, a misguided Paladin. Come, let me Redemption you!"
The short period of quiet sitting allowed her to learn what had happened from Luisa's memories, and her gaze toward Unas changed from hatred to pity.
She opened her arms, as if wanting Unas's embrace, "Come, young Paladin, you should not fall so easily!"
An inexplicable impulse rose in my heart, and in a daze, the other person's embrace became the warmest and happiest place, as if as long as I was immersed in it, I could get the greatest happiness.
Unas almost actually went up and hugged her, but fortunately, he often dealt with the Dreadlord and had a subconscious resistance to mental magic, so he quickly came to his senses.
"So even the self-proclaimed righteous holder of the Holy Light resorts to such methods. The Succubus race would all bow down at your feet. Why don't you join the demon race? You'd definitely thrive there."
"Hmph! Paladin, I truly wish to Redemption you. Examine your own heart; do you truly wish to become like this?"
Unas certainly didn't want to become a demon; he was forced by circumstances to "voluntarily" become one. He was well aware of this, but after becoming a demon, his psychology underwent a drastic change, and his previous values no longer applied to him.
Reminded by the other party, Unas examined himself and discovered that his demonic heart was not without flaws; it was as if a crack had grown on it.
A feeling that was both repulsive and nostalgic emanated from the cracks, as if his true self was only found within them, making him want to delve deeper and explore.
Intense self-doubt caused his Fel to surge, and his demonic body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Luisa unfurled her Light Wings and pounced. She couldn't miss such a good opportunity. What she didn't tell the Fallen Paladin was that she would only use her lightsaber to Redemption him.
Unas could have easily dodged it, but his unruly body froze him in a fatal moment.
Like a tangible lightsaber, it pierced his chest in an instant, and Luisa crashed into him, pinning him firmly to the ground.
Intense Holy Light surged into Unas's demonized limbs and bones, causing immense pain and rendering Unas unable to move.
Die, you demon!
The lightsaber swung horizontally, widening the wound to the edge of his heart, leaving Bessarius only able to let out a desperate wail.
But her sword-wielding hand trembled and stopped, and Luisa's voice, choked with sobs, rang out once more, "No, no, the Knight is a good man..."
An unfamiliar female voice came from the same mouth, "Your Highness! He is a demon, don't stop me!"
In that life-or-death moment, the enemy began to fight amongst themselves, giving Unas a brief respite. The Fel suppressed by the Holy Light regrouped, and his power was restored.
He grabbed Luisa's slender waist with his claws and thrust upwards with all his might.
The sharp, spiraled Blackhorn mercilessly left two bloody holes in Luisa's chest, spurting out a large amount of blood.
The girl screamed and fell backward.
Unas grabbed her by the neck, suddenly lunged forward, and pinned her to the ground.
The white figure enveloping Luisa struggled violently, but was unable to break free for the time being.
"If you move again, I'll break her neck!"
Unas issued a stern threat, stating that although the princess of Lordaeron was an important bargaining chip, she was ultimately insignificant in this life-or-death struggle.
The white figure indeed stopped moving and quickly shrank back into the girl's body, but then, two blinding beams of light suddenly shot out from Luisa's eyes.
At such close range, Unas only managed to dodge one attack; another beam of light grazed his forehead, almost melting a semi-circular indentation into his skull.
Blood mixed with brain matter splattered everywhere. Unas in agony, his anger rising, and he twisted his demonic claws with all his might!
"Die!"
With a snap, Luisa's neck twisted into a contorted shape, her cervical vertebrae breaking into three pieces, and she was no longer breathing.
Your Highness!
The white figure broke free from Luisa's body, crying out in despair, but unable to bring back the life that had already passed.
"You demon, I'll fight you to the death!"
Unas leaped backward with a whoosh, easily dodging the headless attack of the white figure, but his right hand, which had killed Luisa, trembled uncontrollably.
What's wrong with me? It was just a trivial matter, why am I so unsettled?
Uncontrollable sorrow and regret surged wildly upwards from the cracks in his heart, accumulating into a massive, irresistible wave of negative emotions. This diametrically opposed the malice brought about by his demonic transformation, causing Unas to involuntarily generate a strong urge to self-destruct.
"Come, destroy me." Even the strongest body cannot withstand a broken heart.
The white figure, filled with murderous intent, no longer wanted to hide, and began to imagine being torn to pieces by the lightsaber.
With a hiss, the lightsaber pierced Unas's chest once more. Even Bai Ying couldn't believe how easily it had hit him, causing her to pause for a moment.
Just then, an extremely brilliant and magnificent Holy Light suddenly appeared on Luisa's corpse. In the golden light, a petite figure holding a thick legal code appeared out of thin air.
"Your Highness!" The white-clad figure's voice was filled with a helpless sorrow.
The girl, composed of light, showed no emotion; in the blink of an eye, she floated to Unas's side. "Sir Knight, let me Redemption you!"
