The Hero in Exile

"Hey, hey, hey, Bourne, you really should reconsider this. The treatment provided by the church is really good. Becoming the goddess's messenger is such an honor."

"Do you think I will still believe you?"

"It's Bowen. They promised me a piece of land and money, but they still haven't given me that."

"So you're still upset about this, Lingyu."

Moran couldn't help but complain, it wasn't that he had to be distracted during the fight.

Even if the opponent is a legendary angel, he has no idea how he can lose when surrounded by a brave man, a demon king, and the strongest paladin of mankind.

Not to mention that the angel wasn't as powerful as recorded. Even if she was, she would still be no match for the three of them.

The angel used all her strength to defend herself and barely avoided being defeated so quickly.

In his heart, he kept cursing Bourne and that dead Al, that rubbish.

The initial battle plan was for El, wearing a set of holy relics, and she, who was an angel, to work together to stop the hero and the demon king.

But he didn't expect that the traitor Born would be favored by the Holy Light again. He thought that it was the Goddess of Light who persuaded Born to come back, so he didn't intervene when he saw something unusual.

How should I explain this when I get back?

The angel looked at the three people who were coming at him aggressively, and decided to save his life first.

"You guys will be baptized by the Holy Light one day!"

A beam of light descended from the sky and the figure of the angel gradually became transparent inside.

"Oh no, she's going to run away!"

"Devil form!"

There is a corrosive force lingering around Moran, and after meeting the angel, this force feels even more restless.

The magic sword's charged attack carries a shock wave of demonic energy. This powerful attack is accompanied by the breath of death wherever it passes.

"Holy Protection."

The angel used all of his own holy light power to build a holy light barrier in front of him.

Even Moran's powerful attack only left a crack.

"Then we'll see you later."

bang——

Everyone present was stunned. A bloody hole appeared on the angel's shoulder.

"what--"

A scream of pain without caring about one's image.

"Stop calling me a bitch, and watch your side next time."

De Ryan forced himself to reload the firearm in his hand in an attempt to teach her a lesson again.

"You bastard!"

Now that he had lost the power of holy light, there was only one outcome if he wasted his time here. No matter how angry he was at the human who had hurt him, he could not kill him now.

"Remember this, everyone. Next time I come, I will bring with me the wrath of Holy Light and the baptism of the Goddess of Light. You pagans will fall under our iron cavalry!"

"Hehe, five hundred years ago my ancestors said this when they faced the demons, and today your church also said this to us, but the results are the same, and we are still here."

"Next time you won't be able to laugh!"

The angel's figure completely disappeared, and the battle ended silently.

"Are you okay, old friend? Did that bitch hurt you?"

Seeing that De Ryan had regained consciousness, Bourne hurried over to show concern.

De Ryan had just woken up from a coma and was fine, but after being tossed around by Bourne, he felt very nauseous.

"Okay old Bourne, your son is still lying there unconscious, why don't you check on him?"

"Him? He just got hit by my fully-strength Holy Healing. If this happens, no one can save him. He is still young. He will be fine if he lies down for a while."

People: 6

Bolin: This is my biological child?

Bourne felt relieved only after confirming that De Ryan was just a little mentally unwell and had no other problems.

Bolin still lay there unattended.

"Why did you wake up this time?"

"That beast from Ai'er used mind control on me every once in a while. My soul gradually became immune to that magic, so he used it more frequently. You just happened to kill him and didn't use it on me before I woke up."

De Ryan held his forehead, his head still aching from the mental magic he had been subjected to over the past few years.

"By the way, who are the next two? I feel like I've seen them all these years when they were controlled, but their memories are very limited."

"King Derian, this is the second time we meet, or you could say it's the first time. I'm a brave warrior from another world, and I'm currently fighting against the church with Born."

"I am the Demon King, and I am here to help. King Derian, as the ruler of a country, cannot trust other forces too much."

"I have learned a lot. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the empire. You not only saved my life but also saved the empire."

I wasn't too surprised to learn of the Demon King's identity. Right now, the only ones who can directly turn against the Church are the Demons.

……

"I'm sorry Emperor Derian, we're late. Stay away from the Emperor. Traitor Bourne, you'll get killed!"

A group of Royal Guards rushed in and saw the group of people surrounding De Ryan and thought that De Ryan had been killed.

"Stop, how can you attack the friends of the Empire? Besides, my old friend Born has never been a traitor."

"Emperor, General Born, we misunderstood you. It turns out those rumors were true..."

The Royal Guards only obey De Ryan, and they have been arranged to learn martial arts with De Ryan since childhood.

Their mission was to protect and obey the emperor.

The person they knew best was also the emperor.

Suddenly one day the emperor's temperament changed. He became taciturn and often sat on the throne for a whole day. Only when people from the church came did he move like a human being.

Rumors are spreading in the royal capital that the emperor is controlled by the church. The guards themselves know that the emperor is abnormal, but their mission is to obey the emperor.

Faced with the rumors, they could only pretend not to hear them, and pretend not to see the emperor's abnormality.

"You have done a very good job. Now go and inform the people outside not to tell them to fight again..."

It has ended.

De Ryan returned to the way he was a few years ago and gave orders again.

The news spread quickly, and everyone knew that this wise monarch had been controlled by the church in recent years.

Finally, their emperor came back.

The soldiers put down their weapons, smiled at each other, and some of them who knew each other were already arm in arm and asking which bar they were going to that evening.

……

"Born..."

"What's wrong, old friend? Is there anything I can tell you about?"

"You really don't care about your son?"

Only then did the others present remember that there was another person lying here.

In fact, Bolin had woken up a long time ago, but he felt that getting up now would ruin the atmosphere, so he lay there until now.

Finally someone remembered me, Bolin's eyes were filled with tears, but unfortunately the person who remembered was not his father.
