Chapter 232

"Spirits of the Wind, heed my call" The veiled Catherine casually scattered a large amount of dried flower petals, but what followed wasn't the fragrance of flowers, but rather a foul stench, as if it was some sort of fishy seafood.

Catherine was a fanatic lover of Mysticism, she loved the unknown, and as the heir of a large corporation, she had the time and energy to collect such things.

Especially with Brian's help, after sending all the other heirs who stood in her way to the Unrepenting Abyss, she had even more funds to invest in her Mysticism business.

She might not be a particularly good businesswoman, but she was definitely talented in the field of Mysticism.

Sometimes, Negri would even discuss the relevant knowledge with her, and he felt that he had learned a lot from her.

Those foul petals were harvested from the seaside, so they were constantly exposed to the sea breeze. After being processed by her through a ritual, they were infused with the mana of an unknown Evil God or some sort of strange creature at the bottom of the sea, which could be used as a magic ingredient to directly perform the spell: Foul Wind.

Although the smell was terrible, as they stood within the range of the foul wind, no one felt any resistance from the wind. At the same time, they also felt that running didn't cost them any stamina. Especially the men in the group, they all felt full of energy.

"What a terrible spell" a masked woman on the other side commented.

"Lady Angie, you're still as pure as ever?" Catherine smiled and didn't mind at all. For things like magic, the majority of them borrowed power from Evil Gods, only a small portion of them used a certain Law of the world.

For this reason, magic that originated from Evil Gods would never have any beautiful effects. Most of the time, these spells were disgusting and terrible.

"Enemy attack!" There weren't too many guards at the second checkpoint, but they were all elites. As soon as they heard the abnormal noise, even though there was no alarm at the front, they still got into formation.

A group of Glory knights raised their shields and faced the incoming group, while behind them were three armored Red Sun Knights.

Negri walked in the middle of the group, while the people around him quickly rushed towards the knights.

Glory knights were all blessed with the Blessing of Glory, their minds were protected by their faith, so it was very difficult for spirit-related magic or items to affect them.

For this reason, Glory knights were the core strength of the Church, they were trustworthy and guarded every corner of the Church.

But just because they were hard to influence didn't mean they couldn't be influenced, especially when they abandoned their beliefs.

A Glory Knight in the formation suddenly swung his sword at his companions beside him, injuring them and messing up their formation.

"Good job, Raymond," Negri praised.

Raymond was the name of that Honorable Knight. He was a Honorable Knight, but he had turned his back on his honor after he found out that his wife had slept with a bishop and two knights.

While he was patrolling and guarding his post every day, there were always some bugs in the Church. Their characters were unbearably bad, and they wantonly vented their desires, but their faith was firm.

So in the end, those three bastards received some insignificant punishment.

Although Raymond had sworn to give his all to the great God, he was still human. Faith might be great at times, and he could even die for God. But there were always some things that he couldn't accept.

Realizing this, Negri seduced Raymond, turning his Glory green. Then, he had also turned his back on his Church and became Negri's spy.

"Raymond, what are you doing?" his companion clutched his wound and thought in disbelief.

"The Church has become corrupted, unworthy of the Lord's glory" Raymond's gaze was clear as he spoke. He had only turned his back on the Church, not the Eternal Heat, which was why he was still able to use Divine Arts.

"So you can help the sinners?" the Red Sun Knight angrily asked.

"They will only cause pain, if we don't cleanse the cancerous tumor that is the Church, the glory of God will never be able to shine" Raymond stubbornly replied, then swung his sword to create an opening.

"Colluding with sinners to attack the Church, your sins are unforgivable" The Red Sun Knight raised his sword, activated his Divine Arts, manifesting a flickering flame on it, and was about to slash Raymond.

"Your opponent is me" A figure leapt forward, blocking the burning sword with a dagger in her hand. It was Angel of the Hermit Order.

This young girl was a 'sinner' who had escaped from the Sun Shadow church, so she held a deep grudge against the majority of the Sun Shadow church. For this reason, aside from Negri, she was the most proactive one in this assault.

"Using the excuse of sinners, you can do anything you want, you deserve to be punished" Angel's eyes were filled with hatred, her hands completely unfazed by the flames on the knight's sword, her dagger was about to cut through the gap between the Red Sun Knight's armor.

"Sinners are sinners, they all deserve to be cleansed!" it truly must be said that the Sun Shadow church's long-standing faith was quite effective.

There were very few people who would truly waver in their faith. Even Raymond himself had only turned his back on the Church, not his faith in God.

A golden glow appeared on the Red Sun Knight's body, his entire armor seemed to have fused with it to block the dagger. The knight's sword in his hand didn't hesitate at all just because his opponent was a woman, and slashed horizontally at her body.

"And I'm no longer the same me from before" Angel's body agilely moved, stepping on the knight's sword with her bare feet, then lightly leapt up to the top of the passage, her dagger stabbing into the wall.

Angel hung from the top of the passage, her eyes filled with coldness as she stared down at the knights below.

The second group of Hermit Order members had already clashed with the guards of the second checkpoint.

Negri and the third group of Hermit Order members unhurriedly made their way through the two sides of the battle and continued forward. The knights' attacks were all stopped, and the second checkpoint was finally broken through.

However, unlike Brian, who was in charge of the first batch of people, Angie didn't just want to stop these people. Instead, she wanted to bury these people here.

"Everyone of the Sun Shadow church, die!" Angel drew her dagger, leapt down from the top of the passage, and landed on the shoulder of one of the knights. She stabbed both her daggers into his helmet, then forcefully twisted it, sending both his head and his helmet flying, splattering red and white matter all over the ground.

"Miss Angel, please pay attention to your safety, after all, it's rare to see someone as pure as you" Katherine who had already made her way to the front suddenly turned around and smiled as she reminded her.

Angel didn't answer, she jumped down from the headless knight's body, wielded her daggers vertically and horizontally, and glared at the Red Sun Knight full of hatred.
