Death of the Bishop

"Yes, General!"

As the messenger was about to leave, a roar suddenly came from afar: "Hold on!"

General Marcus felt that this voice was extremely familiar. He looked up and saw the king, duke, and general who the Archbishop had claimed were murdered were rapidly approaching on a mage's flying carpet.

The one who had just shouted was General Windsor.

Varian shouted loudly, "Immediately cease all attacks on Lord Aiden and Lord Kayle! Switch to intercepting Benedictus, kill without mercy!"

The soldiers of Stormwind City looked at each other, completely not understanding what was happening.

"You are temporarily relieved of your duties, Marcus Jonathan!" Varian said in a deep voice.

In the gardens of Stormwind City, a black dragon carrying two people soared into the sky. However, everyone's attention was now on the king, and no one noticed Onyxia's trace. She took Pantheon and Jax and chased after Aiden in the direction he left. With the dragon's flight speed, they would obviously be faster than Benedictus.

Onyxia complained as she spread her wings and flew, "That angel just attacked so hard! My ribs hurt so much! I can barely fly!"

Jax said, "Doesn't Pantheon's Aegis of Zeonia hurt?"

Onyxia immediately remembered that this "dart man" on her back had just jumped up in the fortress and slapped her head hard, preventing her from releasing her ultimate skill, "Deep Breath". She immediately threatened fiercely, "You're right, I should throw you down! Hmph, it's at least three hundred meters above the ground now, you'll definitely be smashed into a rotten watermelon if you fall!"

Pantheon didn't care about her threat, and snorted. This black dragon didn't know his ultimate move, "Skyfall", how could he be killed by falling from this height?

Onyxia deliberately swayed her body in the air, shaking the two people on her back, and even made a malicious sound: "Scared yet?"

However, Pantheon and Jax stood firmly, without the slightest sign of fear.

Onyxia couldn't help but say, "Why aren't you screaming?"

Pantheon snorted, "I'm not a woman!"

Jax also said, "The word 'fear' doesn't exist in my dictionary."

Onyxia gritted her teeth with hatred, really wanting to throw these two people down from the air. However, she could already see her new master in the high sky, as well as Benedictus not far ahead.

"Almost there, almost there! I'm going to burn that bastard to death!"

Without the obstruction of the Stormwind City guards, the distance between Aiden and Kayle and Benedictus was getting closer and closer, and they finally caught up with this guy east of Elwynn Forest.

Benedictus leaned wearily against a wall and said helplessly, "It seems I have nowhere to escape."

"Now you are very clear about your situation," Aiden approached with his sword.

Benedictus waved his hand, seemingly not planning to resist anymore. "You won. Before I die, can I tidy up my appearance? I think with your wisdom, you shouldn't reveal my true face at this critical moment of retreat, right? The people need a belief. I may be arranged to have all kinds of accidental deaths, but that doesn't include becoming an evil Twilight Father."

"Maybe, but that's something Varian should worry about. He decides how to announce the news." Aiden didn't stop walking, secretly guarding against the other party playing any tricks. It's better to talk nonsense after the situation is settled.

"You don't need to worry about your appearance. After you die, the makeup artist will take care of everything," Aiden sneered.

He and Kayle surrounded him from the left and right, not leaving Benedictus the slightest chance to escape.

"You are really cautious," Benedictus said calmly, looking like he had resigned himself to his fate.

"The villains always have many conspiracies. Who knows if you are stalling for time." Aiden would not make those mistakes that often appear in movies—the villains have already caught the protagonist, but they want to show off and talk nonsense, and in the end, they let the protagonist escape and come back for revenge.

Although the one in front of him is the villain.

Two holy swords stabbed towards Benedictus without mercy.

Benedictus's eyes were fierce. Although he said he had resigned himself to his fate, his body was very honest. He raised his staff to cast a defensive shield on himself, and once again transformed into a shadow form, his body twisting into a translucent sphere, as if he had become ethereal.

Aiden and Kayle's swords both pierced the shield, but the holy flame did not cause any substantial damage to the other party's ethereal form.

Aiden felt that this move was a bit familiar. It seemed to be the Shadow Priest's "Dispersion" skill. Speaking of which, Benedictus was the first Shadow Priest he had seen in this world. He had never seen what the Shadow Priest of this world should look like before.

A muffled groan from Benedictus came from the shadow sphere. Even in this form, he was not completely immune to the attacks of the two. Benedictus darted out from between the two, the transformed sphere circling along the base of the wall, fleeing in a sorry state, without any intention of resisting.

Aiden swung a few swords, and found that the shadow sphere seemed to have dimmed a lot. The soul inside became weaker and weaker with his and Kayle's attacks.

Just as they were about to finish off this Twilight Father, the sound of horses' hooves came from both sides of the corner.

"What are you doing!" A team of cavalry appeared from the road behind the wall, and found an angel and another person attacking something.

They were the guards of Northshire Abbey, mostly Stormwind City elites, and many Paladins. Hearing Stormwind City's emergency call, they rushed out of the Abbey. They were preparing to go to reinforce. Angels only existed in the legends of the Church of the Holy Light. They were very surprised to see a real angel, and wanted to ask who they were dealing with.

Seeing someone coming, Benedictus immediately changed back to human form from his ethereal form. He was covered in wounds, and his gorgeous Archbishop robes were tattered. He was also extremely weak.

He shouted, "I am Archbishop Benedictus, these two people are trying to assassinate me!"

Benedictus came from Northshire Abbey. Almost no one in the entire Stormwind Kingdom didn't know him, let alone these Northshire guards!

The leading Paladin immediately said, "Quick! Protect the Archbishop!"

The Paladins blew the horn for help. Their team was divided into two teams, one team rushed up to protect Benedictus, and the other team went to intercept Aiden and Kayle.

Now the Paladins couldn't care less about whether they were angels or demons. Protecting the Archbishop was the most important thing!

Aiden felt extremely disgusted in his heart—Benedictus had too high a reputation in Stormwind City, and these Paladins and everyone else would not doubt anything he said. He knew that no matter how he explained, these guys would not listen.

In order to prevent Benedictus from escaping, he could no longer care about these elite guards!

Aiden took out a handful of vine seeds and scattered them around. Under the nourishment of natural power, the seeds instantly turned into thorny vines, binding all these people and horses in place.

Even Benedictus was bound.

"No one can save you!" Aiden blessed himself with Wings of Holy Light, and charged down from the sky with Kayle, passing over these people.

Benedictus was extremely anxious. More monks and Paladins from the Abbey were rushing towards this side. In a few minutes at most, he could escape in the chaos. But Aiden and Kayle were not planning to leave him a few minutes.

"No!" Benedictus desperately raised his staff, wanting to try to block.

The holy flames on the Judgment of the Damned and Silver Hand's Verdict burned, and the holy power easily cut the wooden staff into three pieces. Benedictus's body could not stop it even more. The sword tips only encountered a little bit of resistance before piercing into his left chest and right chest respectively.

"Holy Light above! You are murdering the Archbishop!" The leading Paladin saw the Archbishop fall back and pointed at them with incomparable grief and indignation.

"That's because he has a death wish," Aiden pulled out his sword and replied coldly. He saw that the blood gushing out of Benedictus's chest was not the normal red of a normal person, but a strange purple.

Kayle also pulled out her sword. She said to the dying Archbishop, "I have heard that you are a disciple of Lord Alonsus Faol. He is a person worthy of my respect, a sage. Your actions shame him."

Benedictus's eyes were gradually losing their luster, and a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth. He let out a vague laugh, his face twisted and manic. "So what, you don't know anything... From the dragon's eyes, I only saw... despair..."

"The dragon's eyes?" Aiden was a little sensitive. He remembered this sentence, but had not considered in detail who Benedictus was referring to. "Is it Deathwing?"

"Hahaha... He... is not worthy..." Benedictus's last voice disappeared, his eyes wide open, also filled with despair.

Aiden frowned. The Twilight Father represented the Twilight's Hammer, and this organization was created to welcome the return of the Old Gods. He felt that he was approaching certain truths, but what exactly it was was hidden in the mist, vague and unclear.

After this moment, the Northshire guards had escaped from the thorny vines. They watched these two people kill their beloved Archbishop, and the knights, filled with grief and indignation, immediately launched a charge towards the two murderers.
