The atmosphere became very oppressive.
"Randall didn't come?" Silas asked suddenly, his breath turning into cold air.
Helles shook her head. "He entered the family's Blood Mist Sacred Pool and hasn't come out for over a month."
Bernice analyzed, "These missionaries are probably master-level. The Demon Hunter and Paladin are likely expert-level. With our current configuration, if we catch up, we should be able to win."
"How long have they been gone? What did they leave in?" Silas asked.
Bobby said with difficulty, "About an hour, I think. They left by carriage, so they should be very fast."
Silas fell into deep thought upon hearing this, constantly pondering countermeasures.
"Hey! You seem to be in a deadlock!" A steady voice with a hint of frivolity came.
Silas turned his head and happened to see Luke descending from the sky with a smile. With him was Roland, whose temperament had completely changed.
The current Luke had completely reintegrated into the city, wearing a well-fitting black suit and a top hat, resembling an elegant nobleman.
At this moment, Silas could feel that Roland had completely stepped into mysticism.
Adeline, seeing Luke, her eyes filled with gravity, said to Silas in a low voice, "Be careful. This fellow is at least a lord-level mystic."
Silas couldn't care less about that now and immediately stepped forward. "Since you've come, you probably didn't come empty-handed!"
Luke said with a beaming smile, "Your eyes are really sharp. I heard from Roland that you seem to have an older sister, so I idly took a few glances. Oh my, truly worthy of being Silas Sotos's older sister; she's really not an ordinary person. Naturally, I had to pay more attention."
"Where's Ada!?" Silas hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Although Ada had deceived him, Silas's feelings for her hadn't changed much. Because for such a long time, her care and protection for him were real.
Luke closed his eyes to sense for a moment, then said with a surprised expression, "It's really a bit interesting. Let's go! If you have a fast carriage, you can still catch the final good show."
Then, the two split into two groups. Bernice, Marx, and Bobby temporarily hid to help Bobby stabilize his injuries.
Silas and Adeline followed Luke to pursue the Radiant Church.
Sitting in the speeding carriage, Adeline looked at Luke vigilantly. "You have a faint smell of mold on you."
"Oh? Truly worthy of being Jeros's old flame. Your nose is really sharp," Luke said casually.
Silas was taken aback. "You know Master Jeros?"
"Back then, I was, after all, a central archbishop of the Church. It's not surprising that I know some veteran Demon Hunters, right?" Luke said casually, revealing a huge secret.
Adeline warned, "You'd better not have any crooked ideas. Although His Holiness Pope looks very weak, you don't know his true terror."
"His Holiness Pope? You are the Pope!?" Hearing this, Luke's eyes widened in disbelief.
Silas retorted calmly, "What? Don't I look like one?"
"You don't!" Luke was very blunt.
"How can a Pope be a small fry in another church? What sect are you?"
The corner of Silas's mouth twitched slightly, but he still replied with great composure, "The Evening Bell Church."
"Evening Bell Church… Evening Bell… Evening Bell…" Luke muttered, slowly retracting the disdain on his face, and finally fell completely silent, saying no more.
Silas's heart couldn't calm down at this moment. He asked somewhat agitatedly, "Did something happen over there? Is Ada in danger?"
Luke said mysteriously, "She is very safe. As for the situation, you'll see for yourselves in a moment. It wouldn't be interesting if I told you!"
About half an hour later, Silas's carriage gradually stopped, and Silas gradually heard the sounds of fighting and miserable screams in his ears.
Silas's heart tightened upon hearing this, and he hurriedly got up and alighted from the carriage.
However, the sight that met his eyes instantly stunned Silas.
The road was littered with bloodstains and internal organs. The Demon Hunter from before had his entire body shattered, his organs scattered everywhere like a dismantled robot.
The carriage was parked quietly by the roadside. Ada stood calmly beside the white horse, gently soothing it.
In the middle of the road not far away, a bloody and cruel scene was unfolding.
At this moment, the female knight named Virginia had shed most of her heavy armor, wearing only light, close-fitting armor. Her collarbones and arms were exposed, looking very heroic and alluring.
She stood there, waving the greatsword in her hand, smashing it towards the ground.
And on the ground beneath her feet lay a white-haired middle-aged man, who was none other than the female knight's companion, the missionary, Father Harold.
At this moment, Father Harold's legs had been completely smashed, and his hands had been cut off, almost turning him into a human stump.
Virginia's eyes were wide open, her mouth stretched wide, and her face wore a smile that looked extremely joyful yet very twisted.
"Hahaha! You old bastard! I've endured you for a long time! I finally found the chance!" A joyous voice came from Virginia's mouth. Then, the greatsword in her hand swung down again, smashing one of Father Harold's arms.
Father Harold's face was flushed red at this moment, and the veins on his forehead bulged as he roared, "Are you crazy! You damn fellow! What on earth do you want to do!"
"What do I want to do? Do you really think I don't know how many pitiful women you've harmed over these years?" Virginia's voice suddenly deepened, and she leaned down, speaking ferociously.
Father Harold gritted his teeth. "Don't forget! You are also the seed of a Sanctuary Elder. If I hadn't gone to find those women, do you think you could have been born!?"
Crack…
The piercing sound of bones breaking came out. The heavy spine of the sword completely shattered Father Harold's entire arm.
"I know! I know! That's why I'm using this body, cursed by my mother since birth, to gradually tear you beasts apart!"
Virginia's spirit seemed unstable. At this moment, she suddenly became ferocious, raised her greatsword, and struck again.
Instantly, Father Harold completely became a human stump.
"You madwoman, I was truly blind back then! But don't be complacent. My soul will curse you forever! You will never be able to return to the Radiant Sanctuary!"
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!" Virginia seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, letting out an incredibly demonic laugh.
"Who would go back to that damn place? To be a sex slave for those filthy pigs? You probably don't know. The curse my mother placed on me at birth – this body, as long as it's touched by a man, will endure pain like being burned by fire. Do you know how much pain I endured in that damn place? Gak, gak, gak! Now I'm out, I'm free! I've fulfilled my vow to my mother. Although my body has been touched by men, my body is still intact!"
Silas, hearing this, was extremely shocked and also understood why she wore such heavy armor.
"Now you can die. But don't worry, I won't let you die easily…"
"Wait! We can talk about this! We still have… Ahh…"
Silas silently turned his head away, not looking, walked to Ada's side, and asked tentatively, "Are you still the Ada I know?"
"You know?" Ada's expression was full of desolation.
Silas nodded, then asked, "Ada, who exactly are you?"
Ada opened her mouth: "%#%…%#@"
Silas gave a bitter smile. He couldn't hear that high-level language, and he couldn't even memorize this language to analyze it with his divine body.
"I won't explain too much. I just want to tell you that I have no ill intentions towards you," Ada said seriously.
Silas nodded silently and said no more.
No ill intentions, of course, and no good intentions either.
Ahhh…
Accompanied by a piercing, miserable scream, Father Harold's life came to an end.
Virginia took a deep breath, her face full of exhilaration as she spread her arms. "I've never felt so exhilarated!"
