Chapter 26 'Giving Birth to Twins

This man...He must be a reincarnation of Demon Lucifer, right?

Kavensis stared at Xianzong with a somewhat idiotic look, his trembling left hand covering his lower abdomen.

A person of radiance, a son of the Priest, Kavensis had experienced the greatest joys and sorrows of his life in these past three days.

The sorrow was that he had fallen from his pedestal, abandoned by the people, disappointing the believers, and even the Holy Maiden had been abducted by the Child of the Curse. His promotion to a Second Order Magician was also delayed, truly a low point in his life.

But fortunately, there was also great joy—he was with child!

Kavensis could feel another life force within his abdomen had increased.

Those two filthy lives from the void, though only the size of embryos, were still writhing against each other, their tiny hearts beating audibly.

It was a frigging double blessing.

"I will... kill you."

Kavensis gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot with fury.

He swore he would reduce this man before him to ashes, torturing him with the most cruel methods,

Pulling out his teeth, flaying his skin, using the most advanced methods of interrogation against heretics, to let this man have a taste of his skill as a saint!

Over the years, he had interrogated many ordinary people.

After his "friendly" interrogation, every suspected Cultist child of darkness confessed to being a Cultist, so Kavensis was quite confident in his skills.

He vowed to make the other's screams resonate through the heavens!

"I will kill you!!!"

An Su calmly stared at him, with not a trace of fear on his face, simply extending a finger and hooking it towards Kavensis, "Come at me."

...

Kavensis felt his head was about to burst with rage.

He grabbed his Magic Wand and, dragging his swollen belly, charged forwards, while Xianzong didn't hesitate for a second and turned tail to run!

This scoundrel had not an ounce of noble character that respected the old, weak, sick, disabled, or pregnant, he straight up turned it into a hundred-meter dash against the pregnant man with the big belly.

Thus, under the blood moon on the barren plain, such a peculiar scene unfolded:

A young man, his appearance upright and imposing, dressed in a winter school uniform, ran confidently and spiritedly across the field, his eyes self-assured and face calm, as if he were a young athlete at a school sports meeting, letting loose his youthful dreams and aspirations.

Trailing behind the athlete came a pregnant man with a belly as big as double tires, his expression one of painful constipation, gasping for air after every few steps, yet despite being pregnant, he pursued with unwavering determination and a sense of beauty befitting the Paralympics—this was indeed the spirit of an athlete.

Never give up, never abandon.

Clearly, both contestants displayed their level, their style, and, most importantly, their fairness in the competition;

The only slight regret was that Kavensis suffered from a forty percent slow debuff, exceeding the thirty percent speed buff of the wind sprite, causing his speed to be slower than usual.

And Xianzong, after days of being blessed by the Mother Goddess, had greatly improved physical attributes.

When a top student possesses the physical qualities of an athlete, he becomes invincible—and before long, he left Kavensis far behind.

But Kavensis knew that this was all temporary.

The slow debuff would only last ten minutes, while his wind sprite would last fifteen minutes. As long as he kept up and didn't lose sight of his target, he would be able to catch up to the kid soon and penetrate him with his last Holy Light Spear.

Moreover, what was more important was that the other saints were nearby.

There were a full twenty saints, each a Second Order Magician or higher, and the captain of the Holy Knights, Agni, that high EQ female knight, was even close to being a Fourth Order Magician!

She could easily hunt down this heretic on the spot!

Each witch-hunting saint carried a Magic Tao artifact that shared their location.

If anyone went missing, the saints would quickly come to their aid, at most within ten minutes.

This was Kavensis's reliance, his hidden trump card.

This so-called Xianzong heretic would ultimately pay the price for his arrogant behavior!

Through the shared position Magic Tao artifact, Kavensis could feel the other saints rapidly approaching, the saints riding on horses, obviously much faster than the two men running.

He could already hear the faint sound of hooves coming from the distance.

Moreover, eight minutes had already passed, and the effect of the divine gift was also about to fade.

Perhaps sensing his impending end, or perhaps hearing the sound of the Holy Knights, An Su who was running ahead gradually slowed his footsteps, seemingly giving up his resistance.

This person was already at the end of his rope.

Kavensis formed a Holy Spear in his hands and slowly approached An Su.

He had never wanted to kill someone so badly, never wanted to reduce someone to ashes and dust.

And now, everything was within arm's reach.

The Holy Knights had appeared at the furthest extent of his vision, and Kavensis could see the leader, Agni, clad in snow-white armor, shouting at him from a distance,

"Kavensis!"

But Kavensis didn't respond; all he wanted now was to personally kill the man before him. He tightened his grip on the Holy Spear in his hand, magic power already surging, ready to pierce through the man's back.

"Your teammate has arrived," An Su turned around and said calmly, "Have you been waiting for your teammate this whole time?"

What have you been waiting for?

A smile cracked Kavensis's lips as he threw the Holy Spear in his hand, piercing through the air with tremendous force towards An Su—at the same time, An Su also made his move, their actions almost synchronous.

"All things grow," An Su whispered softly.

The Holy Spear hadn't yet reached An Su's body when it was knocked down by a strike from Enya, hidden in the dark.

Seeing that his attack was fruitless didn't dishearten Kavensis.

Just another ten seconds or so, and when his Holy Knights teammates arrived, everything would be fine.

Who would have thought, An Su's calm face now revealed a peaceful smile, "I've also been waiting for your teammates."

"I've been waiting for this very moment."

Only then did Kavensis notice that An Su had cast another Blessing Magic spell on him.

And he was not unfamiliar with this spell.

This was the most pure, the most commonplace Holy Light magic,

[All Things Grow]

[Blessing Magic]

[Low Rank]

[Magic Point Consumption: 2 (originally 1)]

[Magic Effect: The Goddess of Holy Light blesses all living things. He who is affected by this magic ages by half a year, with his physical state transitioning to what it would be half a year later, lasting one minute]

[Magic Description: Child, may the Holy Light shine upon your growth!]

Because this was also Blessing Magic, the talisman still did not react.

Surrounded by the sacred light, Kavensis still didn't understand what was happening—until An Su cast it on him again.

Kavensis realized he had misunderstood something.

The blessing magic wasn't cast on him, but on the creature inside his belly, the twins, those evil beings of the void.

Since the two children were within the same placenta, All Things Grow could simultaneously affect both.

What is Xianzong trying to do...

Kavensis had a vague guess about Xianzong's intention, but he couldn't bring himself to believe it, couldn't face it; he didn't have the courage to believe and confront it!

He didn't have the courage to confront that reality.

All Things Grow could age a living being by half a year; two casts made it a year.

And the gestation period for void beings was exactly one year.

Soon, Kavensis realized an even more terrifying fact.

He was male...

Where would they emerge from?

Half a second later.

"Hmm-hmm ahhhhhh—!!!!!!"

Kavensis's wails of agony spread across the plains, echoing to the heavens.

He was giving birth,

to a pair of dragon-phoenix twins.
