Chapter 743.1: Glory of Heroic Souls
A blue sports car sped through the streets of Fuyuki. Even though it was late at night, this sports car was seriously speeding.
Su Xiao sat in the driver's seat of the sports car, while Mato Sakura sat in the passenger seat. As for Bubtni, he was currently looking for Mato Kariya.
After pushing the pedal all the way down, the speedometer in the car immediately began to fall to the right side.
*F-f-f-f-f~*
The sports car went sideways into the corner. Su Xiao looked calm, but Mato Sakura's body in the passenger seat was pressed against the car door, and her face was pale.
The tires left obvious marks on the asphalt, and the smell of burnt fuel appeared on the road..
Soon, a sports car screeched to a stop in front of a church in the center of town. Taking Mato Sakura with them, the two of them got out of the car.
Holding Mato Sakura with his left hand and Dragon Flash with his right, Su Xiao slowly entered the church.
As the doors of the church opened slightly, the night wind sent the newspapers in the building flying up.
Su Xiao stood at the door of the church and looked inside through the half-open door.
Inside the church, a tornado seemed to pass. Previously, neat rows of pews were scattered throughout the church, and the floor was strewn with sawdust.
From the mana that hadn't dissipated yet, it was obvious that a battle had taken place here not too long ago. It was obviously violent, but the destruction in the church was not so horrific, as if someone had done it all in order to hide some evidence.
As soon as Su Xiao entered the church, the strong smell of blood hit him right in the nose. Looking in the direction of the blood smell, he saw half of the body. There were two legs and half a stomach. Judging by their clothing, they belonged to Rizei.
There was a trail of blood on the floor nearby, with guts in places. The old priest apparently survived being cut in half and began to crawl away.
Following the trail of blood, Su Xiao soon found Risei's upper body in a room inside the church.
The old priest was lying on his back with his eyes closed. In his hand, he held a glass bottle that contained some white powder. There was also this white powder at the corner of the old priest's mouth.
Just when Su Xiao thought that Rizei had already died, the old priest's eyes slowly opened, but they were very similar to the eyes of a dead man.
— Rizei's voice was weak and his pupils were blurred. Su Xiao squatted down and pressed his hand to the old priest's chest.
His heart wasn't pounding.
— Who are you? Su Xiao's tone didn't bode well. It was obvious to him that the old priest had already died. Considering that he was cut in half and that he had lost a huge amount of blood, he simply couldn't live to see this moment.
— It's me. I used this to live long enough for you to arrive. I need to tell you something, " Rizei raised his hand and handed the glass bottle in his hand to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao had seen this powder earlier when he was looking at the items on the exchange.
For a loner like him, this powder didn't matter much, but large groups and guilds would definitely buy something like this. If a member of any guild was on the verge of death after completing the main task, his comrades would be able to use this powder to maintain the consciousness of the injured person. In that case, he would be able to return to Heaven and be cured, which was equivalent to saving his life.
— This bone powder is about to stop working. You came just in time, Byakuya.
Rizei recognized Su Xiao's alias when signing the contract.
— Holy Father, who did this??
Although Su Xiao had already found a few clues, it would be better if the old priest told him about it himself.
— No one, just a monster, " Rizei replied and bowed his head. No emotion other than sadness could be seen in his eyes.
He was well aware that he was about to die.
— Byakuya, you're a heroic soul, right? Although to me you seem like an ordinary modern person.
— Right.
— Then I want to ask you how a mage was able to kill Hyuzu and blow up the Ryuudo Shrine?
White lines appeared on the old priest's skin, and his body slowly turned to dust.
— Apparently, there are new heroic souls. So, you're a Berserker, aren't you? I can't believe that I was able to form an alliance with a Berserker." "Open my sleeve, I have a present for you.
Su Xiao pulled open the old priest's sleeve, revealing Rizei's strong arm. Originally, there should have been a lot of command spells on his hand. These were unused command spells from previous Holy Grail wars. All of them were collected by the Holy Church and kept by the old priest.
But now there was nothing on Rizei's arm. All of his command spells were gone.
