Chapter 44: The Asylum of Faith

As dusk approached, the city of Rylska burst into flames, straight columns of black smoke soared into the sky, and the wails and cries of people, the howls of monsters, and the crackling of burning houses filled the whole city.

The messy streets were less lively than they had been so long, and on the ground were human corpses torn to shreds by monsters, blood flowing into the ditch.

Is this what the United Church staff member said could have happened? What are people in the United Church thinking? If you had known in advance that this would happen, then immediately stop the missionary activities and prioritize the transfer of the population!

Edward's face was pale, there were too many people who died!

Edward looked down and saw that the ditches and waterways of the Great City had been stained pale red with blood, and the strong smell of blood and the fishy smell in the air made Edward frown.

In the streets filled with the smell of death, Edward's eyes flashed with a faint golden light, and he saw transparent figures, some of them were surprised, some were reluctant, some were afraid, and some were relieved......

This is the soul of the deceased, but there is something not quite right, Edward found that the soul of the deceased is too few, and when he looks up, there are only more than twenty souls wandering on the street, and in Edward's perception, this street has died hundreds of people in the monster hunt just now!

And what about the souls of more than eighty people? Why is it gone?!

Edward turned to look at the paladin Wald, who was holding a knight's sword, and looked around him warily, hoping to get an answer from him.

Wald didn't answer Edward's question about the lack of souls on the street, he just looked at Edward with some surprise and said, "Your Excellency can see souls?" Your church is really powerful, can a pastor awaken the psychic eye talent when he reaches the realm of a great priest? ”

What was the last church to awaken the psychic eye when you reached the level of a high priest? It seems to be the Soul Echo Church that is a vassal of the Church of Life, right? It was a church that specialized in souls. Then, which church is the last church where the high pastor can awaken the psychic eye?

If nothing else, it's the Church of Life under Attilla's crown!

What kind of existence was the Ancient Asian Cult? Because of Edward, Wald, the Knight of Radiance, became interested in Edward's ancient cults.

After seeing Edward's inquiring gaze, Wald hurriedly coughed dryly again, and organized the language, at this moment Wald's voice became a little low, and said: "I can guess what Your Excellency wants to do, Your Excellency should want to redeem those dead." But Lord Edward, you don't have to look for it, those dead souls will no longer appear. ”

Edward was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wald in astonishment, will it appear? What do you mean?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ordinary people who are killed by monsters and degenerate people will have their souls taken away by the evil gods behind these monsters and degenerates. You must have seen some of the remnants of the dead, right? These souls are faithful, and their beliefs are quite religious, and these souls are marked by the kingdom of the Lord they believe in, and the minions of the evil gods cannot touch their souls. ”

Evil gods? Signs of God's Kingdom? After listening to Wald's account, Edward stopped and fell silent.

Edward knew very well what it meant for the soul to be taken away by the evil god, and a part of the soul would become the ration of the evil god, which was not bad. There are also some souls that will turn into chaotic monsters, sinking into the abyss of chaos forever, with no chance to be saved......

When Edward stopped, Wald saw a huge eyeball-shaped monster around the corner of the street, revealing its large eyes, and flesh-colored tentacles full of slime floated under the monster's body, and the fishy smell of the monster wafted far away.

It's the Evil Eye, a second-order monster capable of firing rays of magic with that giant one-eye.

Facing the Evil Eye, Wald raised the knight's sword in his hand, but just as Wald raised his leg and took a step, the Evil Eye in front of him seemed to feel something, it screamed in horror, and flew back at a faster speed.

???

Did the Evil Eye escape? It took a long time for Wald, who had assumed a fighting pose, to come to his senses.

Mentally retarded, when you see someone, you know that the reckless evil eye demon actually ran away? Was this really the kind of evil eye that Wald knew? Not quite right! Could it be that it was just a special evolution?

No, then you can't let it run! Wald was in a hurry.

Just as Wald was about to chase him out, a holy light the size of an adult's fist slammed past Wald, and under Wald's stunned gaze, the holy light turned a corner in the fork in the road from which the evil eye had fled, and chased after him.

it, this kind of shooting-type holy light can also turn around?! Wald was dumbfounded.

"Hiss β€”β€”!"

The screams of the Evil Eye reached Wald's ears.

Wald was a little confused, but he quickly came back to his senses, and was startled by the rich divine power surging around him!

At this moment, Edward's anger value was a bit high, and Edward's body was constantly surging with incomparable holy power, and this huge holy power made Wald shocked at that time.

With this level of massive holy power, is this really something that a fourth-order great priest can have?

Big brother, I'm afraid you're a fifth-order or above boss pretending to be a rookie, right?! And how can this holy power fluctuation be so familiar, Wald sensed it carefully, and then looked at Edward with a stunned expression.

The aura of holy power on Edward's body was completely consistent with the aura of the two fifth-order divine arts not long ago.

Well, this is a fifth-order boss pretending to be a fourth-order priest...... It's so young.

Looking at Edward, Wald's eyes were full of shock and emotion, he felt that he might have lived to a dog in half his life, Edward was obviously thirty or forty years younger than him, and he was already a fifth-order high priest!

It's no wonder that when Edward and Wald walked out just now, he said that he had a way to drag a fifth-order monster, and now that the mystery has been revealed, he himself can rely on his own strength to resist a fifth-order monster!

Edward's eyes flickered as he looked at the Radiant Knight beside him, and said, "Lord Wald, if I said that this incident was expected by the United Church, what do you think?" ”

"Ah...... Yes?! ”

Wald was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he exclaimed after understanding Edward's words: "What's going on?!" Could it be that something is wrong with the United Church? ”

Edward is a "fifth-order archpriest", and in this short period of contact, Wald has also figured out a little about Edward's character, and Edward's little priest is a good person. So Wald was willing to believe Edward's words.

The United Church had anticipated the attack? It's just that they hid it? If he had known that there was an attack, if nothing else, he would have flashed the Church's side, and Wald would have brought four or five hundred more Church Fighters over in a minute!

【Dingβ€”β€”! Beatrice sent a message. 】

[Beatrice: Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Crown! His Excellency Belen, the Commander-in-Chief of the United Church's missionary activities, was found guilty of suicide in his office! 】

…… Shit! Seeing this news, Edward was so angry that he almost smashed his cane. Seeing Belen's suicide, Edward had already guessed what might be happening on the United Church side this time.

It's nothing more than that Belen's brainless thought that nothing would happen to him, so he didn't care too much about the invasion of the Fallen, or he paid attention, but he planned to turn the tide with the United Church manpower at the beginning of the attack of the Fallen with the idea of obtaining greater merit.

When the event first started, Edward saw the young Belen from a distance, at that time Edward felt that the other party was a little too young, and the person spoke quite lightly at the opening ceremony, Edward suspected that the other party might not be very reliable, and now it seems that Edward's feeling is right!

Just as Edward was about to scold and express his emotions regardless of his image, Wald's voice came from the side.

"Your Excellency Edward, I saw the two fifth-order monsters you mentioned!"

"Bastard! Damn it! Lord Wald, I've got the latest news from here, the United Church in the big city of Rylska can't be counted on anytime soon, and we may have to do more! Edward gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at the two huge figures, his staff squeezing hard to vent his anger.
