After discussing some details with them, Unas turned and disappeared into the woods.
Kressa asked, "If they tell the demons everything that happened here, there's no point in you asking me to eliminate the other Undead."
"It's alright. If they betray me, then in my heart they'll just be two ordinary Forsaken. I won't have any psychological burden in dealing with them anymore. Besides, how can eliminating the Undead be meaningless?"
There were about thirty enemies that Kressa eliminated, and they were all converted into Unas's experience points. Now his experience points have increased to 98%, and he will be able to level up again soon.
"Do as you please. I'm very tired and need to return to the Holy Book to rest. If you need anything, please summon me directly."
"Go ahead, I'll need your help a lot more often in the future."
Kressa transformed into a golden ray of light and entered her chest, quickly discovering that she actually had a "neighbor." "So the root of the demon hasn't been completely eradicated yet! I'll purify this filthy thing now!"
"Wait!" Unas quickly called out, and briefly explained to Kressa his connection with Bessarius.
"It has now been suppressed to an unprecedented state by the Holy Book, and has even offered me half of its true name. I will personally expel it when the time is right; you don't need to worry about it now."
"You say it's become one with your soul, how can you expel it?"
"I have my own way."
"Hmph, do as you please."
After casually dismissing Kressa, Unas quickly walked back to Luisa's side. The weak girl was still unconscious, her peaceful face radiating a lovely rosy glow.
Unas didn't wake her, carefully carrying the girl on his back, but his shoulders felt almost no weight.
The demonization did bring some changes to his body. He felt that he had grown a few centimeters taller, his muscles had become firmer, and his strength and agility should have increased considerably.
The mysterious the Holy Book emanated a warm energy that nourished his entire body, Unas felt exceptionally good.
A thought struck him, and he activated the Wings of Vengeance. Twice the size of the previous white- Light Wings unfurled from his back with a whoosh.
Before he even exerted any force, his body automatically floated up and hovered three feet above the ground.
Is this... an upgraded version of Wings of Vengeance?
Unas gently activated his wings, and he shot into the sky like a rocket, more than doubling his speed!
Moreover, he did not feel the rapid depletion of energy as before. Upon self-examination, he found that his body was still filled with abundant Holy Power, and the amount consumed was almost equal to the amount replenished.
Hovering in the air, Unas calmed himself down and came to the conclusion that this could only be the effect of the Holy Book.
He tried casting "Blessing of Kings" on himself, and sure enough, the 10% increase in all attributes became 25%.
He then cast several other spells, all of which received a multiplied boost without consuming much energy.
This at least proves two functions of the Holy Book: increasing spell levels and reducing spell costs.
This is truly an amazing treasure. With it, he essentially gained dozens of skill points out of thin air, instantly surpassing many High Priests in spellcasting ability.
Unas let out a happy shout, forgetting that there was a sleeping girl behind him.
Luisa woke up, her blurred vision only able to see the Light Wings and the night sky.
"Are you an angel? Will you take me to heaven?"
"Haha, yes, let's go!" Unas laughed and joked, in a good mood.
"Knight, Knight," Luisa recognized the Paladin's voice, "So you've become an angel. Legend has it that only the kindest and greatest people can become angels after death."
"Really? I'm such a good person. So, do you like a good person like me?"
"I like it," Luisa blurted out, not wanting to hide her feelings now that she was "dead."
"Great!" Unas exclaimed excitedly. "I like you too! From now on, I'll be your guardian angel."
"Mmm." Luisa blushed and answered shyly in a soft voice.
"Let's go! My beautiful princess!"
Unas happily drew circles in the sky, but the word "princess" he uttered and the cold wind in the night sky startled Luisa from her dazed state.
The girl bit her lower lip, feeling the same pain as before she was alive. Looking at the familiar sky and Forest, she became more and more certain that she was not dead, but still living in that cruel world that caused her so much pain and oppression.
How so?
Not only did he survive, but the Knight also returned to human form. What kind of miracle happened?
Regardless, Unas's happiness at this moment was truly infectious. The Paladin's strong and warm back made her feel at ease, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the man's shoulders, as if she had found a sense of security in this world again.
Let all the past fears and inferiority complexes vanish. Since I didn't die, it must be the god of fate guiding me to a new life.
The burden on her heart was broken by optimism, Luisa inexplicably felt a long-lost joy. What's wrong with me? Is this the power of love?
She paused for a moment, then finally mustered her courage. "Let me reintroduce myself, Sir Knight, I am Galia-Luisa-Menethil. Thank you for saving me."
"So Luisa wasn't an alias after all," Unas smiled. "May I still call you Luisa from now on, Your Highness?"
"Of course, no problem," Calia nodded, blushing, then stammered a little, "Can you... can you keep this a secret for me?"
"Of course, but it's not a big deal even if it's announced. I will always protect you, Luisa, after all, I promised to be your guardian angel."
The bold confession was abruptly interrupted by a roar. Unas turned around in annoyance and saw a huge creature chasing after him from his right rear. He could tell at a glance that it was Alexstrasza.
This useless person only showed up now; it was incredibly stupid of me to let her be my backup.
Unas ignored her and sped forward.
His current speed far surpasses that of the Red Dragon, leaving the Little Red Dragon to lag behind and eat its dust.
However, he soon had to slow down, because a group of familiar figures appeared ahead riding Magic Carpet —leading them was Natasha.
After the Warden flew away, Natasha rushed to find the Little Red Dragon and begged and pleaded with her until she finally managed to persuade her.
They then urgently assembled Blood Elf Mage Corps, but they had already wasted a lot of time and were only arriving now, even at the speed of the Magic Carpet.
"My lord, are you alright?" As they drew closer, Natasha immediately asked with concern.
"I've never felt this healthy."
Unas's armor and robes were tattered and he looked somewhat disheveled, but his outstretched white-gold Light Wings still gave him an imposing presence.
He landed on Natasha's Magic Carpet and put the girl on his back down. "She's alright now, she just needs to rest. Let's go back quickly."
"You damned human! What do you mean by ignoring me?" Little Red Dragon furious howl suddenly came from behind.
Unas sneered and turned around, "I almost forgot to teach this piece of trash a lesson!"
