Chapter 307: Divine power

Han Shuo conveniently shoved all five piles of the collected items from the mountain into his space ring. Suddenly, he saw an enormous halo of holy light shining upon the earth in the distance. He instinctively felt disgust towards that pure, sacred light. Strands of faint smoke drifted up with the light and dispersed to join the heavens and earth.

Having collected all of the valuables in the bald mountain, Han Shuo looked up to see the three thousand plus zombies that had been walking towards the Helon Duchy turned to ashes upon being bathed by the holy light. None were left after a short span of a few minutes.

Through the yin demons, Han Shuo saw a group of four gracefully charging over on the back of warhorses. Three of them wore silver-gray armor with the Church of Light’s cross engraved on the chest. The fourth was a light mage in a white robe, a thick book of scriptures in his hand. A vast holy force overflowed from each page of the book being flipped.

Helen Tina was advancing by their side on the back of her fire phoenix. Her beautiful face was full of fury and cold killing intent, she quickly approached the bald-peaked mountain.

A yin demon was surveilling and about to close in on these people for close detail when the white robed mage with the scriptures in hand seemed to discover it. His bright and wise eyes stared right at the yin demon. He thumbed through the scriptures in his hand. A bundle of white light abruptly shot out from a page and hit the invisible yin demon in a second.

The yin demon, that Han Shuo had spent a great deal of resources to refine, was enveloped in a strange force upon being hit by the white beam. It instantly turned into ashes. Even Han Shuo’s soul brand on it had vanished.

A pair of thin eyes opened in the skies above Han Shuo. The white robed light mage abruptly closed the scriptures, his eyes seemed to pierce through layers and layers of obstacles to nail down Han Shuo’s body. The mage’s peaceful voice resounded quietly, “He’s on the bald mountain.”

The three silver armored Temple Knights urged their warhorses forward at the same time. The warhorses moved like whirlwinds, galloping swiftly towards the bald mountain. The white clad mage leisurely abandoned his warhorse and floated up, his speed even faster than that of the three Temple Knights riding warhorses.

Helen Tina, gliding on the fire phoenix at a low altitude, cried out softly in anger after hearing the mage’s words. The fire phoenix instantly shot in the air, tearing a blazing red across the sky and reached the mountain in the span of a few breaths.

Han Shuo’s anger had been ignited when his yin demon had been turned to ashes. He also became aware of the Church of Light’s terrifying power at the same time. That light mage holding the scriptures in particular could easily kill a yin demon with a simple wave. Han Shuo instantly raised his guard against this mysterious person and his scriptures.

With the high speed of Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens, in addition to the earth elite zombie becoming invisible within the earth, Han Shuo wasn’t worried about escaping. Therefore, he didn’t choose to retreat upon seeing the Sky’s Eye above his head. He’d wanted to at least face the light mage who’d destroyed his yin demon and suss out the situation before deciding whether or not to temporarily retreat.

The Sky’s Eye formed over his head drained a constant supply of mental strength from the caster. When the light mage realized that Han Shuo was remaining in place, he no longer supplied the Sky’s Eye with mental strength and immediately withdrew it.

Helen Tina landed in front of Han Shuo like a flame under the brilliant sunlight in her fiery-red magic robe. She was approximately twenty-eight years old. Her soft expression was covered by a layer of frost as she stared coldly at him from the back of her super rank magic creature and shouted, “The six magic crystal cannons, hand them back over to me now!”

Han Shuo looked up at her with a calm and natural expression. He pouted before saying with a bland smile, “This is but some interest of your Helon Duchy. Remember this well, these six magic crystal cannons are only the beginning. I will make you spit back out everything you people have robbed from us these past several years.”


“Who are you?” Helen Tina burned with rage upon hearing his words. However, she seemed to remember something and inquired about his identity.

“Heh heh, you will soon know.” Han Shuo replied casually. He then stopped caring about her and focused all of his attention towards the light mage who had just arrived.

“Please come with us to the Church of Light for a visit. As long as you confess your sins, the God of Light will forgive your reckless arrogance.” The Red Archbishop Kosse looked peaceful, as if he were a host inviting his guest.

Kosse and Ferguson were both grand magi. However Kosse was also a wind mage, in addition to being a light mage. Moreover, he held the divine artifact “Revelation” of the Church of Light. He could borrow divine power from it, so his strength was much higher than the light grand magus Ferguson.

Kosse was only forty-five years old, but had the honor of serving as the acclaimed Red Archbishop. This indicated that he was no simple character. The only person above the rank of Red Archbishop was the God of Light’s messenger, the Pope. As the youngest Red Archbishop in history, he was the most promising candidate to be the next Pope.

“Sorry, I have no time.” Han Shuo looked remotely at Kosse, refusing outright.
The three galloping Temple Knights finally caught up. They’d come on the back of their warhorses since the road on the bald mountain wasn’t too winding. Standing on the mountain, Han Shuo looked into the far distance and discovered that a team of a dozen silver armored knights was gradually materializing. They seemed to have been left behind by the four in Kosse’s group.

“My Lord, we don’t have to waste words on this heretic. He brutally killed Lord Ferguson. He should be burned for this sin.” A Temple Knight glanced coldly at Han Shuo and suggested to Kosse.

The Temple Knights were a group of dedicated fanatics completely faithful to the God of Light. They themselves possessed extraordinary strength. Only when the God of Light recognized their existence and bestowed a blessing upon them would they be qualified to be a Temple Knight. The favor each Temple Knight earned was different in accordance to their strength of their faith, as well as their own efforts.

The strength of the Temple Knights could be distinguished based on the amount of the God’s favor was bestowed upon them. The Temple Knights, who only received a hint of favor, would have the insignia of the Holy Grail on the armor’s chest. Those who received a lesser amount would have the olive branch insignia, those with a lot of favor had the cross insignia.

The Temple Knights who earned the blessing of a miracle could display their power to the highest possible extent. This type of Temple Knights was extremely rare and few. Their insignia being an angel statue meant that their strength was comparable to a sacred knight. If a Temple Knight of this kind was a sacred knight himself, then his strength would be even more terrifying.

However, these Temple Knights were simply too rare in the Church of Light. They wouldn’t randomly leave the Temple of Light under normal circumstances, so those with the cross insignia on their chests were already the most powerful outside. Currently, three of these Temple Knights with the cross insignia were staring raptly at Han Shuo with fervent, frenzied eyes. Han Shuo became cautious upon seeing this kind of stubborn madness that belonged only to stubborn religious followers.

“Bryan, please come with us to the Church of Light to give a clear explanation. I guarantee that the God of Light will forgive your recklessness no matter how grave your sins are. At most you’ll only be imprisoned within the Church, but we won’t take your life.” The Red Archbishop secretly recalled the warning of the Lancelot Empire and tried his best to sound polite.

“Bryan? So you are indeed that unlucky new city lord of Brettel City. I finally know the meaning of your words just now. Hmph, daring to grab my magic crystal cannons, you simply don’t care about the lives of your people!” Helen Tina had completely understood by now. Her pretty eyes drilled into Han Shuo’s body as she snorted.

“You can try. Any duchy that dares to pillage Brettel City will pay the price.” Han Shuo remained unmoved, only throwing Helen Tina a glance along with a cold warning. He then slowly took out the Demonslayer Edge and nodded towards the Temple Knight who’d first spoken, “Come on, brave Temple Knight. If you can win against me, I’ll consider following you guys back to the Church of Light. I think your Church of Light won’t gang up on me, will you?”

“But for a despicable necromancer, there is simply no need for a second person to make a move.” The Temple Knight swung his silver spear to point it at Han Shuo and spoke in a righteous, awe-inspiring manner.

The silver spear shone with a brilliant silver light. Han Shuo was long since been familiar with this kind of silver fighting aura. However, the silver spear also contained a pure divine power in addition to the energy of the silver fighting aura. When the strange divine power merged with the fighting aura, the combination became much more powerful than simple silver fighting aura.

The Temple Knights had exchanged their faithful, steadfast beliefs for blessings from the God of Light, earning a strange power, in addition to their fighting aura, that they bitterly cultivated. Not only did strange power protect them from the erosion of evil forces, but it also gave them the ability to purify the evil in this world.

Normally, the damage caused by dark and necromancy spells to Temple Knights was extremely limited. The Temple Knights possessed a very strong defense against even high rank dark and necromancy spells with terrifying lethality. On the other hand, the Temple Knights’ weapons, combined with the power bestowed by their God, were terribly fatal to mages of the two aforementioned majors. Any undead creature touched by their silver spears would be unable to withstand it and would immediately be turned to ashes.
