The Healer More Powerful Than A Warrior - Chapter 435 - 435: Countdown Begins

“We somewhat know each other, quite a good person… what a pity,” Lin Ye sighed lightly and responded.

Upon hearing Lin Ye say this, the two Priests on the opposite side couldn’t help but hesitate a bit…

Lin Ye knows Instructor Ouyang?

This indeed exceeded their expectations, as they had never heard the instructor mention knowing Lin Ye!

But they still agreed with Lin Ye’s words.

Although Instructor Ouyang is usually strictly abnormal, to the point where some demands reach an unadaptable level.

There is no doubt that under his guidance, all Priests are absolutely elite, and have the lowest death rates in the Abyss.

He simply uses his method to enable more people to survive when facing Abyssal Demons.

Even now, he has sacrificed his life to create a temporary safe zone for the two Priests.

Instructor Ouyang actually has a very high Talent, but for some reason, he has never broken through Level 40, maintaining this level his entire life without any further progress.

At this moment, after Lin Ye described Instructor Ouyang as a good person, the two Priests completely lost the idea of confronting Lin Ye.

Evidently, Lin Ye’s recognition of the frustrated Instructor Ouyang stirred some elusive emotions in their hearts.

“Can you… help save Instructor Ouyang?” The chubby Priest asked, even using honorifics for Lin Ye, who is the Church Court’s top adversary.

The curly-haired Priest beside him was shocked at the words, remembering that Lin Ye is the only person below Hundred Level who mastered the Holy Healing Technique!

In Alternate Space, the Holy Healing Technique has a miraculous effect of resurrection, though only once, wouldn’t it be perfect to use it now to revive Instructor Ouyang?

But Lin Ye shook his head and said, “His soul is already used as fuel to ignite the Holy Flame, revival is no longer possible…”

This situation is indeed rare, even though the Holy Healing Technique is powerful, it cannot create a soul out of thin air.

Such a thing is certainly beyond the reach of human capabilities, completely out of Lin Ye’s capacity.

Upon hearing this, the two Priests couldn’t help but feel disheartened.

What Lin Ye said wasn’t difficult to understand, as Holy Professionals, they understand more than anyone that the Holy Light is never omnipotent.

Just like now, even the famous Lin Ye cannot save Instructor Ouyang.

“I intend to retrieve the Sunrise Holy Stele, do you still want to stand in my way?” Lin Ye asked again.

If these two insisted on blocking the way, Lin Ye would show no mercy, even though he considers them to be decent individuals.

At least they know it’s not about personal gain, attempting to resurrect the instructor who sacrificed for them.

The curly-haired and chubby ones remained silent for a while, eventually stepping aside.

They could see Lin Ye was genuinely sorry for Instructor Ouyang’s sacrifice.

This sentiment prevented them from continuing to stand in Lin Ye’s way.

“Thank you!”

Lin Ye politely said, then took steps past them toward the Holy Stele.

As he approached, the flames of the stele seemed to sense his presence, burning even fierier.

After all, it’s a Holy Flame specialized weapon; it didn’t even need Lin Ye to reach out, the stele rapidly shrank, flying directly in front of Lin Ye.

The wide stone stele now appeared as a small token before Lin Ye, wondrous indeed.

As for Instructor Ouyang’s body, hands clasped in prayer, seated on the ground; once the stele left, a gust of wind blew and scattered it like ashes, carried away by the wind, gradually drifting afar.

Watching this scene, Lin Ye disregarded the Holy Stele, bowing deeply toward the direction of the departing ashes.

Despite being ‘strangers’ with Instructor Ouyang in this life, it didn’t prevent Lin Ye from feeling the loss at Ouyang’s departure.

“Back then, when Instructor Ouyang was around your age, he was dispatched by the Church Court for a mission, resulting in a failed team constrained by a delayed rescue from the Church Court. He was miraculously aided by Alliance forces, hence returning safely to the Church Court.”

“Afterward, the Church Court deemed the mission failed and decreed he could not surpass Level 40 for life, thus he never broke through the Level 40 restriction.”

Lin Ye calmly said.

It was during the previous time Lin Ye had ascended to Bishop that he casually uncovered this event through personnel records; Ouyang himself never mentioned it, diligently nurturing batch after batch of Priests.

In fact, Ouyang’s Talent was absolutely top-notch; if not restricted by the Church Court, he would at least be a Fourth-Turn Professional, instead of being trapped lifelong at Level 40, unable to progress further.

Of course, this was also his choice out of faith loyalty, neither right nor wrong.

The two Priests were stunned upon hearing this.

What Lin Ye described was extraordinarily similar to their current experience?

Though not saved by the Alliance presently, it’s Lin Ye, whom the Church higher-ups deeply detest and loathe, that saved them.

It’s almost certain that returning won’t bring any pleasant outcomes…

“It’s time to leave.”

With the Holy Stele in hand, it’s been over ten days since Lin Ye entered.

Based on the Demon Gods’ plan, it’s not accurate to a specific day or time, but rather follows Lin Ye’s departure from the Alternate Space ‘Plague Apocalypse.’

Once Lin Ye exits, the Demon Gods will gather followers, preparing them at specific locations.

When timely, their memories will be unveiled, enlisting their role as ‘keys.’

The total time needed is approximately one hour.

This means upon Lin Ye’s conquest of Alternate Space, only about an hour remains for the Demon Hunting Army and Lin Ye’s operation to hunt ‘keys.’

Completely eliminating ‘keys’ is clearly impossible, but reducing them to an acceptable count suffices.

As long as the resulting Alternate Space riot is contained within a manageable range, it’s enough.

Wanting to capture all ‘keys’ is outright impossible, managing the riot scope within the framework provided by the Demon Hunting Army is quite fortunate and challenging.

In such circumstances, no further demands could be made.

So now, only one last step remains for the Demon Gods’ plan, Lin Ye conquering ‘Plague Apocalypse’!
