Chapter 54

"Are we late?" a coughing voice asked, causing Smick to stop his attack.

Only to see that Chris's group of 10 had all arrived. Chris looked at the bones that littered the ground and sighed, then turned his gaze to Negri.

Before meeting Negri, Chris only felt that extremely ominous rhythm towards Negri, but after seeing Negri in person, Chris came to a single conclusion, which was that such an existence shouldn't even exist in this world.

"Evil Spirits are a mistake that shouldn't exist in this world. They are the natural enemies of humanity, and because of that, Evil Spirits must be eliminated" Augustin's gaze was cold, he had once fought against an Evil Spirit, so he knew just how dangerous they were.

Every single Evil Spirit that grows to maturity is a natural disaster, their existence requires the lives of other people to sustain themselves. The fog demon in the Interkam capital, the Green Hermit that once appeared in a small town, the shipwreck victims that appeared at the East Coast port.

What caused Augustin, as well as the entire Church of Divine Grace, to feel uneasy was the fact that Evil Spirits were appearing more and more frequently. They couldn't help but wonder if the calamity recorded in the Arcane Tome of Divine Grace would actually happen, especially when a rational Evil Spirit like Negary had appeared.

In the records of the Church of Divine Grace, the Cauchy people used to be the most powerful race on this continent, they founded a great empire called Trilancia.

And the main reason why this empire was destroyed over 200 years ago was because a rational Evil Spirit appeared in Trilancia at the time. That Evil Spirit had the power to control the hearts of people, he caused the Trilancia Empire's internal strife, causing this great empire to slowly fall into ruin.

"Evil Spirits are the source of disaster, they are the result of mistakes. Their appearance will only lead to greater disasters, so Evil Spirits must be purified!" this was the consensus of the entire Church of Divine Grace.

"Can't the main course wait any longer?" Negri's gaze swept through these people, the way he looked at them like he was looking at food sent chills down their spines: "Then come at me together, I don't mind if there are more of you, the result will be the same anyway"

"Anyway, most of you have a need to defeat me, right?" 〖 Your name is Jason, right? You came to Reya to look for Cadiz Moreg, right? 〗 Negary smiled, then pointed at Jason Todd in the group: 〖 You're Jason, right?

Negri's words instantly stirred up Jason's emotions. He would never forget the tragedy at home that day, but when everything he had was destroyed, the only belief that kept him going was to catch the murderer who destroyed everything and exact his revenge.

"That bastard really is here." Jason said excitedly. The pirates who killed his family went ashore and hid their names. He searched for them for seven years and finally found their traces here.

"It's not just one. After Cadiz Moreg came here, he even called his companions over to help," Negri said with certainty, "All of your enemies are now under my command!"

"If you want revenge, then use your full strength to defeat me" Negri said temptingly.

Then Negri turned his gaze to the iron-masked man: "Before Comoros died, he asked Noah to tell you that he's sorry, but Noah was busy with my matters and couldn't tell you. As his master, I'll do it for him"

As soon as he said this, the iron-masked man's hand trembled. He was a father, and the thing that angered a father the most was the destruction of his children's lives, and two of them at that.

Negri ignored the iron-masked man's anger, or rather, the angrier he was, the happier he was. Sometimes, anger could also be a kind of power.

"The Church of Divine Grace? It's a shame that I didn't get to eat Bukittel's soul, I hope you'll be a little more delicious "His words provoked the anger of the knights and priests.

"And you, Chris" Negri finally turned his gaze to the legendary ranger: "If you don't want your secret to be exposed, then fight with all your might"

"Trust me, in a place like Reya, it's easy for news to spread to other parts of the continent. If you lose, that person's efforts and your sacrifice will all be for naught"

Negri's words caused Chris's pupils to shrink. He didn't ask how Negri saw through the flaw, as that was no longer important. What he needed to do now was to defeat Negri.

"No need to say more, let's fight" Jason's eyes were filled with the flames of vengeance. He raised his bow and aimed at Negri.

Chris, the Knight of Divine Grace Myerson, and another Knight of Divine Grace rushed towards Negri who was standing among the bones. The two Knights of Divine Grace activated the Grace of Protection to protect themselves. Their swords glowed with the light of justice as they swore to slay this demon.

Jason, the metal-masked man, and another person who joined them on the road all drew their bows and fired their arrows one after another, disrupting Negri's movements.

Augustin and his disciple, Luen Donner, activated the Grace of Insight to keep an eye on Negri's little tricks, occasionally using the Grace of Salvation to dispel the germs that filled the area.

Smick, on the other hand, had once again turned invisible, waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow.

As for the other masked warriors who joined them on the road, they were all acting as bystanders. They were members of a gang formed by outsiders in Reya, they wanted to gain as much profit as possible from this battle. For them, the more intense the battle between Negri and the others, the better, their main goal was to protect themselves.

Being caught in a pincer attack, Negary was constantly swinging the swords in his hands. The Grace of Justice on the swords of the knights allowed their swords to cut through anything and everything. Chris was a lot calmer, only occasionally throwing a punch while spending most of his time observing.

"If you're not in the mood to fight, then die first" Negary's gaze abruptly focused on the two masked warriors who were standing at the periphery of the battle. Ignoring everyone else's attacks, he swung both hands, causing two wrist blades to detach from his body and pierce through the bodies of the two masked warriors.

"My Lord has promised me the power of justice, I shall cut through the darkness" The knight of Divine Grace didn't waste this chance, he swung his sword that was reinforced with the Grace of Justice at Negary's neck without hesitation. Under the effect of the Grace of Justice, the knight's sword cut through 'Negary's' neck like a hot knife through butter.

However, as soon as the sword cut through, he noticed that the sensation wasn't quite right. Negary's neck was cut open, but the inside was empty, while the head that was sent flying abruptly exploded, splashing various colors of liquid everywhere.
