Preacher Ford was shocked to see the 10 Holy Knight kneeling on the ground. Their heads were pressed against the hard metal floor.
Preacher Key knew what this was, but he didn't understand why the knights were treating the elves like they were in the presence of their god.
Could it be that the elf in front of him was a god? But even a god would not be able to change the faith of a devout Holy Knight.
In the face of faith, Paladins would persevere even if they were to die.
Preacher Ford pointed at Abel and yelled at the 10 Knight, "Demon, you are an evil demon. Wake up, he is a demon!"
However, the 10 Knight did not seem to hear him. They were still kneeling on the ground and praying.
"Demon?" When Abel heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. "You actually called me a demon? Then what is your god?"
The followers of the Demon from Beyond called him a demon. This was probably the funniest joke he had ever heard.
"Demon, you can kill me, but you can't blaspheme my lord!" Preacher Ford stared at Abel. He was scared, but he still yelled.
Abel was no longer paying attention to him. He realized that the life and death of the ten sacred knights were in his hands. He could kill them with just a thought.
Of course, he needed the Knight to be in his power of the will range. He was not a god after all. Even with the help of the crystal angel statue, there was still a limit to what he could do.
Of course, there were ways to kill the Knight from afar. He could use the poison granted by the god.
However, that method was not as convenient as what he was doing now. He felt like he could make all the spells that this holy knight learned disappear, take back his soul, and even control him to fight for him, let alone life and death.
However, with his current strength, these Holy Knights, whether they were intermediate Holy Knights or advanced Holy Knights, were all existences that he could easily kill. He no longer needed this kind of combat power.
Abel shook his head and thought to himself, "Too bad this preacher's faith channel is not stable. He can't control them!"
This made him even more interested in the holy armor. It was rare for a holy object to be far away from a god, especially one that belonged to the demon from beyond.
Just like the holy portal bag in his body. It was a holy object that recognized its master. Even the demon from beyond could not take it back.
There were different grades of holy objects. He didn't know the specifics, but from his experience, he knew a few things.
His transformation necklace was also a holy object, but it was just something the goddess of the moon made when she was bored. She only made a few, and he only got one of them.
Normally, gods didn't care about holy objects, so it was very unlikely that they could take it back through the origin of the holy object.
The holy portal bag was a holy object used by the gods themselves. If Abel didn't use the holy power of the crystal angel statue to break the low-level magic circle of the holy portal bag, he would've been able to take it back when the demon from beyond woke up.
Holy objects used by gods were far more powerful than other holy objects, so they were more important to the gods.
If the golden armor belonged to another divine spirit, he wouldn't be interested in it. However, it belonged to the demon from beyond. With his previous experience, he was confident that he could take it for himself.
Abel stopped thinking and looked at the ten Knight kneeling in front of him. His face was cold.
He grabbed the faith channel in the air. If he did that, the souls of the ten Knight would be taken back.
However, this was not cool. He was using the power of a god.
"Ta!" He changed his method and used his right hand to snap his fingers in the air.
The souls of the ten Knight kneeling on the ground flew out of their bodies. Afterward, Izual waved his hand, and the souls flew into the crystal angel statue.
Abel saw the souls of the ten Knight inside the crystal angel statue. They were kneeling on the ground and praying like they were outside.
"Weaklings can't even control their souls. I can't become like them!" Although he had seen the souls of the Knight Knight many times, this was the first time he saw a believer kneeling and praying to him after he took back their souls.
When he got the souls of the Knight Knight before, it was after he killed the Knight, so he didn't feel anything.
Preacher Key's eyes were filled with fear when he saw Abel killed the ten Knight with a snap of his fingers. He was 100% sure that the elf in front of him did not use any spells or power of the will.
There was not a single ripple of energy. Even if there was a level difference, there would still be a suppressive force. However, he, who was standing right in front of the ten Holy Knights, did not feel anything.
"Is he really a god?" Preacher Key couldn't help but think about what happened to the 10 Holy knights and the strange way they died.
He even saw a happy smile on the faces of the ten Knight. It was like death was not scary. Instead, it was glorious.
A sense of helplessness rose in his heart. After coming to power in Wheat Cloud City, his pretentiousness and strength had become extremely laughable at this moment. He was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, shivering and paralyzed in front of Abel.
Abel looked at preacher Key with interest, but he was more interested in preacher Key's soul. Since the path of faith was unstable, he couldn't do anything to preacher Key.
However, he believed that as soon as preacher Key died, his soul would appear in the crystal angel statue, and he would be able to learn the secrets of the preachers of the Nation of God.
He threw out a telekinesis spell, and it landed on preacher Key's head. The power was not picked up. Instead, it twisted. Preacher Key's head rotated.
As his bones cracked, a look of relief emerged on preacher Key's face. Endless despair was finally released.
However, he was too optimistic. Izual waved his hand again, and his soul flew out of his body.
He wanted to shout, but as a soul, he could not make a sound. He could only watch as he flew towards the forehead of the fairy. Then, he could no longer feel anything.
Abel had a strange look on his face as he looked at the golden book inside the crystal angel statue. Preacher Key's soul had turned into this golden book as soon as it was sucked in.
He picked up the golden book with his power of the will. He didn't open it, but he sensed the knowledge inside.
It was all about how to spread faith. All the knowledge of the preachers had entered the crystal angel statue and turned into a book of preachers.
In fact, the inheritance of the clergy in the golden armor did not come out of thin air. It was transformed into a book of inheritance by divine power, and then transmitted to the soul of the clergy candidate through divine bestowment. The clergy candidate could slowly digest and understand it.
However, the power of God was precious. After the preachers died, they would return to the state of the book of preachers and wait for the next use.
Of course, most of the time, this process was automatic. It was done automatically with the power of God.
It was just like the ancient totem. All he wanted was to create twenty preachers, and the ancient totem helped him create twenty preachers.
However, what he didn't know was that he was only using the power of God of War. He didn't let him do it himself.
However, he couldn't create preachers from his crystal angel statue. He didn't have a book of preachers, so he couldn't create preachers.
He also couldn't turn his power into a book of preachers, unless he was a real god with a complete heritage.
Suddenly, his eyes sparkled. He saw a more terrifying ability of the book of preachers. The preachers he created through the book of preachers would become his direct followers.
He was in the Nation of God. Although he could use the crystal angel statue to steal the prayers of the believers, he could only get some faith power unless he was blessed by the gods.
He had no way to control the group of believers, and he had no way to obtain the souls of believers after they died.
However, once they were converted into his direct believer, their souls would return to his crystal angel statue after their death.
Even the soul of an ordinary believer could only pray for a certain period of time every day, but the soul of a believer could pray all the time and provide the crystal angel statue with an endless supply of faith power.
Abel couldn't help but mumble to himself, "I'll take all of their souls!"
It was rare for him to be able to do whatever he wanted in the Lance Continent, where neither the gods nor the Wizard Union could interfere.
"Frankenstein, clean this place up!" Abel commanded and returned to the operation room.
A fireball flashed in Frankenstein's hand, and the 11 corpses disappeared. Fire spells were indeed the best way to clean up.
Abel saw that there were more than 20 markings, and he had more than 50 markings now. Half of the preachers were on his target list.
The battle fort was ignited again and flew towards another direction.
"The great Emperor Harvey, something happened!" Elite Knight Kirk rushed into the palace with a bad look on his face. He yelled as he ran.
Emperor Harvey couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Kirk? Why are you in such a rush?"
"I just received news. The preachers in 5 cities have gone missing. I've contacted a few nearby preachers. Although the city lord did not report it, the preachers and their guardian Knights are all missing!" Elite Holy Knight Kirk bowed.
"Is the Wizard Union hiding something that we don't know about?" Emperor Harvey was shocked. The preachers were the most important part of this 300 year mission.
"If they could sneak up on so many preachers in such a short period of time, the Wizard Union would not have to hide their power. They could just attack us directly!" Elite Holy Knight Kirk shook his head.
According to the information they had received, every attack was silent. It was only after the preachers and paladins disappeared that someone noticed the abnormality.
"How do they know where the preachers are? Don't tell me they have an intelligence network covering the entire Lance Continent?" Emperor Harvey was confused.
"The great Emperor Harvey, we can't just watch the preachers disappear. We must do something!" Elite Holy Knight Kirk bowed and suggested.
"Send more Holy Knight to the preachers, especially those around the missing ones. Keep in touch with them. I want to know how they are doing!" Emperor Harvey lowered his voice.
He couldn't take back the preachers. If he did, his 300 years of effort would be wasted.
Without the preachers and the temple, he could not harvest the faith of the entire Lance Continent in just 2 years.
Without enough faith, he could not connect with the Nation of God, let alone send a powerful Knight from the Nation of God to protect the Lance Continent.
Abel was very happy. He was flying around in his battle fort at an unbelievable speed.
All he needed to do was snap his finger, twist the head of the preachers, and destroy the evidence. Afterward, he would take all the precious materials from the temple.
As for that special circle, he studied it during his flight. It was a circle that could confuse a large area of the surrounding area.
Unlike ordinary magic circles, this magic circle didn't have any offensive power. Instead, it required the user to use mental power to lay down the contents of the magic circle's disk. Then, there would be a subtle process.
The temple was like a magnifier, amplifying the effects of the magic circle to the entire area, causing the people living there to slowly transform and become believers without them knowing it.
Although these believers were shallow believers, they could shorten the time needed to spread the faith. The most difficult period of spreading the faith would quickly pass under the influence of the temple.
It was like a guide. Then, the preachers would have a deeper impression of it and become a true believer.
Abel didn't know if these faith circles would work on him, but they were a rare tool to spread faith. He checked with his power of the will, and it was impossible to copy them.
