Chapter 12: Forbidden Fruit?

Carlo and Morris both witnessed the same thing.

A powerful and unmatched aura surrounds the figure that is directly facing carlo and cloaked in a brilliant white light.

Carlo perceived something resembling or even more potent from the man's body than the monstrous bird demon that came dangerously close to devouring him.

Carlo's black robe tore almost instantaneously, and from his back, a pair of broad bat wings with a one-sided wingspan of about two meters.

Talia was stunned as Carlo grabbed her and sprinted to the side.

"Boom!" The approaching person smashed the tall tower's spire with a thunderous crash, sending gray rocks tumbling down as Karo had just managed to grab a grip there.

"It is the justification from hell."

Carlo at last caught sight of the visitor—a gorgeous young man with prominent brows.

He then focused on Carlo's eyes, which were blazing with rage.

Despite having better equipment, the level is higher than theirs.

How would you combat it?

It is preferable to look for a way out.

Carlo is acutely aware of his demonic nature.

He is the focus of the young, ferocious holy light knight.

Talia was casually thrown onto a roof, and Carlo gave her the following command via the soul contract: "Talia, protect me at all costs."

"Dear master, all Talia possesses is ready to be sacrificed for you," Talia understood.

A spell chanting could be heard in Karo's ears, and the evil holy light aura around the holy knight appeared to be growing thicker and thicker. Worse yet, the white light on the holy knight had started to coalesce once more.

In the shadows, another strong priest was present.

"Tell the ghouls to move more quickly, Talia!"

This was the second time Carlo had sensed the impending death, and his heart was pounding.

Similar to the encounter with the terrifying bird demon, he was immensely stronger yet helpless.

In comparison to the most potent forces of light and darkness, Talia was not even an ant.

He had no choice but to wager on the potential greatness and height of these two sons of heavenly grace.

If they choose to save them or chose to murder themselves in front of the massacred civilians.

Even worse, Talia summoned a "corpse explosion" at the foot of the ghouls, forcing the remaining humans to pounce and the warring ghouls to lose their ability to "bang" and explode the next second.

The survivors began to disappear quickly as a result of this, and a priest's throat had already been slashed by a ghoul.

"You filthy demon!"

Oliver glared at Karo, wanting to use the holy light to cleanse him right then, but he had to remember that there were helpless citizens below, and he could end their predicament with a single blow.

Oliver paused.

With a smirk on his face, Carlo poured gasoline on the fire by saying, "Come on, kill me; those souls weeping in hell will thank you for what you've done." Carlo had noticed hope in Oliver's eyes.

Oliver hesitated after hearing Carlo's words since they were the final straw.

You can destroy this demon, but you can't make the dead come back to life.

The holy magic of Elijah's Coronation is also prepared.

The gentle and compassionate knight's heart finally compelled Oliver to speak, and he uttered, "You can't get away." whirled and soared down to the goblins below.

Life and death were on the line, and the holy light trapped on Karo was already beginning to take shape, his heart yelled frantically, "Redeem this carnage art," and his chest's deep purple, fast-beating heart echoed that.

The only way to survive was to persuade the paladin to abandon his pincer attack; this was his only opportunity.

A brilliant holy light descended directly toward Karo from the heavens at the exact moment the chanting voice ceased.

Carlo's entire body "bangs" into a swarm of flying, blood-red little bats.

The group of small bats managed to flee and vanish in the air in an instant. Like a divine blade, the Holy light sliced small bats, who hissed and died into slag.

After a quarter of an hour, the holy light had purified the city's ghouls, turning them into heaps of decomposing flesh.

Oliver prevented Maurice from falling just before the catastrophe occurred, and he then gave the order to the remaining guards to assemble the dead and cover them with tannic oil, starting a fire that turned the sky crimson.

"I apologize, Lord Elijah," Oliver's face was covered in shame. "I should not have abandoned that weapon, otherwise so the demon wouldn't have managed to flee...

Oliver, you made the correct decision, Elijah remarked with a tone of remorse and relief.

Oliver made a serious proclamation while holding the large sword, saying, "By the splendor of the Knights of the Holy Light, I shall put evil to death."

At that very moment, Oliver looked at Talia, standing next to him with a wooden face. Will you put to death this witch who has turned to evil, Coronet?

"The demon was gravely hurt by me, and now even the crystal ball can't detect his whereabouts," Elijah replied, giving a small headshake. Keeping the demon's servants will help us locate him. "Understood." Although

The demon was gravely hurt by me, and now not even the crystal ball can find him, Elijah muttered, shaking his head a little.

Keeping the demon's servants will help us locate him.

Oliver had a little more animosity for Carlo even though it was a decision he made.

...

The birds and animals who passed by a tiny group of bats in the dark Lost Forest sipped clean blood and perished. The bats themselves fluttered their wings as they moved along.

The bats congregated and turned into a black mist after the local wildlife had all but vanished, and a paper-thin demon emerged from the darkness.

Carlo attempted to lay his back against the big tree behind him, his face pale.

His wounds were severe.

He was also touched by the holy light, which only served to compound the harm, as blood bat magic was originally a secret art of self-inflicted escape in blood magic.

Carlo was once more overcome by the same sense of helplessness he had felt upon his birth, and he sought to regain his strength as soon as possible.

Carlo was on the ground, motionless.

He recalled that there was something in the system mall that might be able to assist him to heal as his thoughts dwindled inside his skull.

Soon, Carlo's eyes began to shine, and she realized that this was it.

"Fruit of Sin: A divine tree that has descended to the depths of the ground and is growing by assimilating the sins of the planet. Its fruit is the best tonic for devils and has a strong power of hatred."

"Redemption cost: 1,000 evil values."

A fist-sized, bright red fruit that resembled the apple from his past life arrived in Carlo's hand as his heart was softly redeemed.

The Heavenly God Tree's fruit is advantageous to both humans and devils. Could it be the knowledge tree that discerns between good and evil?" Is this the fabled forbidden fruit that lured Eve and Adam into sin?"

Carlo had a strange appearance, yet he did not hesitate to extend his lips to the fruit and bite down.

Even the fruit's core, which has a particularly wonderful flavor, was completely consumed by Carlo.

However, the fruit's flesh quickly diffused in Karo's body and changed into an enigmatic power.
