Chapter 1363 1363: Speedrun (2)
"Let's head to the next kingdom."
Everyone looked at me with a strange look when they heard this.
There were clear signs of exhaustion that were on their faces, but that wasn't strange since we had already been to five different kingdoms today.
I had pushed them all to go to five different kingdoms and solve the problem of the corruption energy in all of them.
Every time, I used the Staff of Earth to surround the corruption energy that was spreading and then had Joan release her sacred flame breath. The power that her breath had was just too much for the corruption energy each time.
There was no way that the corruption energy could resist the power of Joan's flames.
So in the end, it was completely wiped out with a single breath from her.
The only momentary delay that came was when we went to pick up the seed of corruption from the center of the area of corruption. There would always be this seed of corruption right in the center of where the corruption energy came from.
There was no doubt that these seeds of corruption were connected.
However, it didn't seem like anyone else wanted to keep going.
It seemed like they were completely exhausted from being forced to keep up with me.
At the same time, they looked at me with this strange look as if they couldn't understand why I was pushing this hard. No one seemed to understand where this enthusiasm for purifying the corruption energy came from.
Seeing that they weren't willing to follow, I said with a stern look, "The longer that we stall, the more danger everyone else will be. Will you really just stand there and watch as everyone suffers from this spreading corruption energy?"
Chris came forward to say, "Your majesty, you should know the dangers that come with being too tired. If you keep pushing yourself like this, you won't be able to help anyone if you become sick. It's best if we rest for the night."
As he said this, the sun had already set and it was already pitch black around us.
If it wasn't for the torch lights, then we really wouldn't have been able to see anything.
Though he said this, I still couldn't help saying, "We need to do this quickly so that the corruption energy can't do anything unexpected. It's fine, my body is still…"
Before I could finish, I felt two hands suddenly fall on my shoulders.
I turned around to see Moon and Veronica looking right at me with narrowed eyes.
The two of them were the only ones of my wives that came with me this time.
That was because they were the only ones that could actually keep up at this time.
Cecilia was still recovering from having a baby, so it wasn't as if she could run around at a time like this. And even if she wanted to, I definitely wouldn't have let her run around.
However, there was another reason why they came with me.
They weren't just here to support me, they were also here to…
"Alright, I get it. We'll go and rest." I said with a sigh that showed that I gave up.
I knew that I couldn't beat the two of them when they were like this, so it was better to go along with it now instead of making things worse.
The two of them gave satisfied nods when they heard this.
That was right, their other reason for coming was to make sure that I didn't get out of hand.
Seeing them like this, I realized that I had been pushing a bit too hard.
My intention was to speedrun this, but it seemed that I had gone too far with my attempts at speedrunning this.
Even if the intentions were good, it was a problem when people just couldn't keep up with these conditions. If we were to break down, it would cause more harm than good.
So we went over to the Tellis Kingdom group that was just watching everything happen.
It didn't seem like they had been able to recover from the shock that they suffered.
However, with Chris and Leon leading the way, it was easy to get them to arrange a place for us to rest.
It even seemed like they wanted to get closer to us after what happened, but Chris and Leon stopped that from happening. They made sure that the king of the Tellis Kingdom understood that we were tired and weren't in any mood for any banquets.
So even if he was disappointed, he had no choice but to accept this.
After all, Chris and Leon represented the Holy Empire in this matter.
The other thing that happened was that the holy knights and priests that had been deployed here in the first place all surrounded Joan.
I was completely caught off guard by how they surrounded Joan, but it didn't seem like they were paying attention to me at all. It really seemed like the only thing that they were able to see was Joan.
There were looks of fanaticism in their eyes as they looked at Jona, which not only made her feel uncomfortable, it made me suffer second hand discomfort.
It really seemed like they were about to bow and start praying at any moment with the way that they looked at Joan.
Then that bubble popped when someone suddenly said, "Holy beast."
The moment that one person said this, all of them suddenly fell to their knees and lowered their heads.
I had heard this term from Chris and Leon before, but I never expected it to have this kind of weight in the hearts of these holy knights and priests.
At the same time, I could see Chris and Leon nodding as if they understood why these holy knights and priests did this.
A bitter smile appeared on my face as I complained on the inside, "Can you stop watching and stop them already?"
What do you think?
