Chapter 55

The young Negary threw the Knight of Divine Grace's head upwards, breaking through the smokescreen of the Smokescreen Grass and was caught by the circling crows.

"One" Negri said with a cheerful smile. For him, the two people who were passively fighting before weren't his enemies at all.

His original head was an explosion that contained acute germs. Once a person was infected by it, they would quickly fall ill, experiencing dizziness, weakness in their limbs, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

However, Myerson had the Grace of Protection on him, so the germs were blocked by the White Light, while Chris was able to use [Respiratory Art] to sense them and avoid them.

Several arrows were fired at him, but Negri easily cut them apart with a swing of his hand. The outer shell that he tore open on the ground turned into a black liquid that wriggled and enveloped the Knight of Divine Grace's headless body.

Very quickly, a completely black headless knight moved and charged towards Myerson.

Myerson was shocked, he could only barely block the attack of his former comrade's corpse.

This was another skill that Negri developed for corpses after he gained control over the dead's vocal system.

The human body had a lot of instinctive reactions, some of the things that happened on a daily basis would become muscle memory.

Negri had the germs wrap around the Knight of Divine Grace's body, then had the germ tentacles pierce into the body to stimulate it, causing the corpse to move according to muscle memory.

The headless knight who was fighting against Myerson was using the same combat swordsmanship of the Church of Divine Grace that he used when he was still alive. This gave Myerson the illusion that he was fighting against a companion of his, causing him to be unable to use his full strength.

"Desecrating the dead, Negri, you really are a demon that must be eradicated!" Augustin angrily shouted.

"Desecrating the dead is nothing but a boring side effect, but being able to help you all erupt a bit of your potential, this boring side effect can be considered valuable" Negri spoke with a hint of excitement: "Do your best, humans, otherwise the number of dead will only increase"

"Come, come, let's make this battle a bit more interesting!" Negri swiftly charged towards Chris, the germs in the air were constantly gathering towards Negri, causing his body to grow larger bit by bit.

"His rhythm is almost flawless!" Chris clenched his teeth as he thought to himself. Most people's rhythms had all sorts of patterns, so naturally, they had their own weaknesses. Chris's Rhythm Fist attacked those weaknesses.

For example, most people were right-handed. When they encountered an unexpected situation, they would subconsciously use their right hand. Therefore, the part that their right hand couldn't cover was the weak part of Rhythm Fist. Therefore, being attacked by Rhythm Fist would feel very awkward and uncomfortable.

Chris observed Negri's rhythm and could not find any weakness in it. No matter where he attacked, Negri could easily deal with it.

"Not enough, not enough, not enough." Negri's palm directly pierced towards Chris. Chris was horrified to find that Negri's fingers began to shrink, the tip of his fingers shrinking to the middle.

With a small sound, all five fingers were separated from his palm. The nails on them were as sharp as blades, the fingers were extremely fast. Chris barely managed to tilt his head to avoid the attack, but then his expression changed.

Far behind him, the man in the iron mask, who was about to shoot the arrow, fell backward in a daze. On his forehead, there was a hole that was gushing out blood. In the end, the father's anger did not save his son, nor could he save himself.

Jason was breathing heavily as he collapsed on top of a pile of bones. There was a clear cut mark on his silver hair, if he hadn't been vigilant, he would've been the one who got his head blown off just now.

"Are you alright?" The other archer, the masked man who joined them halfway, asked as he reached his hand out to Jason, wanting to help him up.

As Jason reached his hand out, he suddenly sensed danger, only to see the masked man grinning ferociously as he pulled out his shortsword and stabbed it towards Jason's chest.

"My Lord advises everyone to learn to control themselves, all sinful actions will not be tolerated!" Augustin's voice resounded as a force acted on the masked man's body, making it impossible for him to stab him with his shortsword.

Jason reacted, grabbed the masked man's hand, somersaulted from the ground, kicked the masked man's abdomen, then threw him over his shoulder into the pile of bones.

Blood continuously flowed out of the masked man's mouth. Jason was famous for his brutal methods, the masked man was already on the verge of death with just two blows. His skin began to turn black until it turned into a black liquid. This man was the Crowmen Garnan.

"Still a piece of trash, I thought he could at least achieve something" Negri said with a calm expression as the fingers on his right hand slowly grew back.

"The Grace of Temperance? It can restrict movement? Why don't you give it to me? "Negri jumped away from Chris and charged at Luen Donner.

Luen hurriedly retreated. If possible, he wanted to grant the Grace of Temperance to the Negri family, but the Grace of Temperance could only restrict the actions of those with malicious intent, while there was something around Negri's body that was blocking his will.

As Negri reached his hand out towards Luen, Luen felt a sense of suffocation as if he was about to die. As the eldest son of the Donner family, he had received an elite education since he was young. After joining the Church of Divine Grace, through his own hard work, he became Cardinal Augustin's disciple, almost guaranteed to become a high-ranking member of the Church in the future.

He didn't want to die yet, he still wanted to become a high-ranking member of the Church of Divine Grace, or even the Pope. He wanted to expand the Church of Divine Grace and spread the glory of the Lord to more people. Despite his thoughts, facing Negri, he felt his entire body stiffening, unable to move due to fear.

Negri had devoured too much Soul Essence from humans, so whenever he focused his mind on a single human, they would be suppressed by Negri's willpower. Although Luen was excellent, he was still too young.

"Our Lord has showered courage upon the world, giving it the power to face all!" Augustin once again used his Grace. The Grace of Courage could be used on other people, allowing them to resist the power of the mind.

Luen took a deep breath and dodged to the side. Chris followed him again, took a deep breath, and used Silent Punch to attack Negri.

On the other side, Myerson silently apologized as he saw the situation getting worse and worse. He raised his sword, the Grace of Justice began to shine brightly as he destroyed the headless horseman's body with a Casual Slash.
