I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

The harpoon in his hand gradually stopped vibrating, and John's expression was dull, without any joy.

The soldiers next to them shouted in unison, they had accomplished an epic feat, they had killed a saint.

They killed the tyrant who had ruled the church for hundreds of years, the creator of the Kingdom of God on earth, that Beth.

"The leader must keep her alive. Hurry and bring her up."

A middle-aged man dressed as a butler was scolding the soldiers around him. He looked at John and praised him:

"You did well, John. You are indeed a noble knight. The glory of freedom shines upon you. The lord will give you rich rewards, and no one will dare to question your loyalty anymore."

Loyalty, nobility, the light of freedom?

To a traitorous knight?

John just thought it was ridiculous. If all God's gifts were like him, they would have fallen long ago.

He numbly raised the grappling hook, and the person in the cave was dragged out by the grappling hook. Two grappling hooks, one pierced into the calf and the other pierced into the thigh, firmly fixing the petite figure.

Beth was dragged onto the grass. John, in a daze, walked forward and pulled away the cloak that covered her hair.

The hair was covered in mud and water, and its original color could not be seen.

John grabbed a strand of hair, took off his gauntlet, and wiped the mud off his hair. In the firelight, a strand of gold lit up, shining with a sacred light.

"Golden hair, a deceptive aura, it's no mistake that he is a saint."

"Damn it, such a devil actually has such beautiful hair."

John ignored the people around him. There was still a cloth wrapped around Beth's face. He untied the cloth, and a pretty face was finally exposed to everyone.

The face was wet with water, and there was still some mud left on the smooth and white face. This did not obscure the beauty of the woman, but instead made her look touchingly miserable.

Everyone stopped breathing. They stared at Beth's face in a daze. The person in front of them no longer had the strength to resist, but no one had any obscene thoughts.

They were facing someone who looked like a woman; they seemed to be seeing a fallen angel.

John's feelings were even deeper. He felt the same aura in Beth as he did. He finally understood what that thing was.

Beth's mind had completely fallen into a coma, but she still had a backup plan.

Her heart suddenly burst into blue light, and the runes on it shook John away, stimulating Beth's body functions and reawakening her will.

Mud and water gushed out of her mouth and nose. Beth opened her eyes again. She felt the magic power in her body and murmured:

"Bennett..."

The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, as if some supreme horror was about to befall.

The soldiers looked at the sky. The dark clouds in the sky began to gather and started to rotate rapidly around the empty space in the center.

Black lightning struck, and the surrounding vegetation began to mutate. They grew wildly and mutated into various shapes.

"what is this?"

"What happened? Why did the monster appear?"

"It's a punishment from heaven, it's a punishment from heaven!"

The soldiers were panicked. Just as they were about to flee, the surrounding grass and trees had already entangled them.

Barbs and mouths began to grow on the branches and leaves of those plants, secreting venom that corroded everything.

John didn't know what was going on. He drew the sword from his waist and prevented the plants from getting close to him.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky, and a pair of hands stretched out from the crack and lay on the edge of the crack.

"Lieyang! How dare you show up here!"

A figure rose into the sky in the city, and the figure changed rapidly in the air, instantly turning into a hundred-meter-long dragon. Chaotic magic power gushed out of its mouth and poured down towards the crack.

"A giant dragon of natural disaster dares to bare its teeth in front of me."

This voice came from the person in the crack, but it came from every corner of the city, and the city was instantly brightly lit.

People were awakened from their sleep, rushed out of their houses and looked at the devastating scene in the east of the city.

"It's the Great Mage Lieyang!"

"It's over. He's going to punish us for our betrayal."

"No, that's impossible. We have a dragon here, and the dragon will protect us."

The giant dragon circled in the sky, and breathed out another stream of air towards the crack. It roared loudly:

"Lieyang, the Dragon King has set up a rune array here. You are courting death."

"It's you who is seeking your own death!"

A beam of light suddenly spurted out from the crack and shot straight at the giant dragon in the sky. The dragon had no power to resist at all. Accompanied by flames, half of the dragon's body was directly shattered.

Dragon blood splashed in the air, and the broken dragon body smashed to the ground like a meteorite.

The ground made a sizzling sound, and the boiling dragon blood burned everything it touched like magma.

Beth struggled to look up at the sky. Her body had just been resurrected, and now she could feel neither magic nor strength, as if her muscles had been peeled off her bones.

"Beth, I'm coming to you right away."

Tears flowed from the corners of Beth's eyes. She finally understood what Bennett left in her heart.

That was not the Bennett that Beth knew, but what the two left in Beth's heart was the same.

"I'm not the Beth you know..."

"Bullshit, I'll be right there."

The hands finally gathered enough strength. The veins on the hands that were grasping the edge of the crack bulged, and the crack widened again. Finally, one could see what was inside.

The Bennett in the story looks very similar to the Bennett Beth knows, but this Bennett seems older and has a more vicissitudes of life in his eyes.

His eyes were grey and emitted a grey light.

The crack was stretched open little by little, and the figure inside seemed to be trying to squeeze in.

However, at this moment, the clouds in the sky were suddenly shattered, and an ancient voice sounded. The voice seemed to descend from the starry sky, and when the voice fell, the whole city was shaking.

"Interesting, two Beths."

"Back off, old man." Bennett's voice became noticeably anxious.

A tiny speck of light flew out from the crack, broke through the clouds, and shot straight into the sky.

The light spot was very small, about half the size of a palm. From Beth's perspective, the light spot was not even as big as a firefly.

But this light spot was extremely bright, and even overshadowed the moon in the sky for a time.

The light spot entered the clouds, and then the clouds surged at an extremely fast speed. A huge fireball suddenly broke through the clouds, as if the sun had descended to the earth.

The whole city turned white and people closed their eyes one after another. Such light was stinging at first glance.

But soon, a mountain peak pierced the fireball, completely extinguishing it.

"Bennett, how much power can you exert before your true form appears? You are just tickling me."

Beth looked up at the sky. That huge thing was not a mountain but the chin of a dragon. Beth could not see the whole picture of the dragon. It was too big. Just its head was enough to block out the sky.

"She will die tomorrow. What will you do, Lieyang?"

Along with the dragon's voice, the crack in the air gradually narrowed.

"no no……"

The gap in space healed, and a few fingers fell down, landing right next to Beth.

Beth looked at those fingers, they were exactly the same as she had felt with her body.
