[First update, sorry, a little late. Because I went out, there are still two updates.]
On a hillside ten miles away from the village, more than a hundred people were motionless like nails on the hillside. The strongest among the golden armored warriors was only a silver sword saint, and they could not see what was happening ten miles away.
Even the twelve adjudicators could not see that far. Only the Chief Inquisitor was holding the Divine Alchemist's Eye in his hand and observing patiently. The demon was luring her to make a move. Should she make a move?
If she did not make a move, the demon would definitely not mind killing the priests and believers. Although her subordinates could not see what was happening now, if they passed by the village, everyone would understand.
If she did not save them, these people would definitely not have any opinion, but the demon would definitely not do it this time. In another hundred miles, there was a small town, and there was a church in that town.
What if the demon massacred the priests in the church?
In another three hundred miles, there was a small town, and six hundred miles away, there was already the Inquisitor's encampment. Should she make a move now or wait?
Neris looked at the believer who was looking straight at her. Such a humble existence, because of faith, had the courage to face her. Is this good or bad?
"The Vatican started a war, causing Jia Loulan and Qin Yin to fall into the flames of war. This is the wrath of God, right?"
"Yes, filthy blasphemers do not deserve to live on the Myers Continent!"
"You speak to me like this, are you not afraid of death?" Neris's tone was not gloomy. She suddenly understood the magician's mood. Just because a good person believed in some god, he became so stupid. Everything was said by God, and what God said is the truth. You don't need to learn, you don't need to research and explore.
What was the point of such a person living?
"Death? Can you kill me? " The believer's face was filled with a sarcastic smile, and he said: "Death is just the beginning, I will obtain eternal life in Heaven."
"Eternal life! Haha, even gods cannot live forever. This kind of lie can only deceive fools like you. " Neris was no longer interested in talking nonsense with this believer. From the shared perception of Salin, she could see that the people on the hillside had no intention of entering the village to rescue.
The priests and believers in front of her had no value.
The priest suddenly said, "Blasphemer, you shall fall into God's purgatory for all eternity. You shall suffer eternal torment in the flames of purgatory!"
Neris was angry. A little mage, who was only equivalent to a second-level mage, was trying to use a curse on her? Even if it succeeded, the Priest would die immediately.
The price of cursing a demon of his level was not something a priest like him could afford.
Furthermore, the priest was using the most vicious of curses. If it was successful, it would drag the enemy's soul into the God of Light's purgatory, making it impossible for them to escape.
Of course, even a ninth-level mage could not curse Neris now. Demons were difficult to curse, and Nelis already had two incarnations in the Twelve Movements of Purgatory. The power of these two incarnations was constantly being supplied to Nelis. One was the incarnation of Fallen Purgatory, and the other was the incarnation of Purifying Purgatory.
Both of these incarnations were targeted at gods and divine techniques. They were extremely lethal. Even a ninth-level mage would die on the spot if they entered these two purgatories. It was impossible for a small village priest to succeed in cursing on Neris.
Neris's killing intent, which had already faded, was aroused by this curse. She grabbed the priest, pinched him in her hand, and put him in front of her eyes. She smiled and said, "Since you mentioned purgatory, I'll show you what purgatory fire is."
As Neris spoke, she absorbed a trace of flame from the incarnation of Fallen Purgatory and spat it on the priest's face. The priest was immediately burned by the grayish-white flames.
The grayish-white flames did not burn the priest's body, but his soul.
The priest immediately wailed. The pain in his soul was unbearable. Moreover, in the flames of Fallen Purgatory, he saw the scene of the gods' divine kingdom shattering and being attacked by humans. His faith instantly collapsed. Without the faith that supported his soul, this priest was only a profession slightly stronger than ordinary people. How could he withstand such pain?
"As for you, as humans, it's simply a disgrace for you to believe in such a weak god. As Neris spoke, she grabbed three staunch believers in her hands and stuffed them into Fallen Purgatory. "
The remaining six idlers, who wanted to escape but had no way to escape, were originally cowering in the corner. Seeing the demons start to kill, the six burst into tears, knelt to Neris, and begged, "We don't believe, we don't believe in that thing at all."
"Spare me, I'll never listen to him again …"
"You're the real scum." Neris's big hand slammed down, and the floor of the two-story building suddenly collapsed. The six false believers were slapped to death by Neris. She didn't even bother to care about the dirty souls of these people.
"Master, let's go." Neris was angry, but she couldn't tell the specific reason.
Salin nodded and let Neris take the demons away from the village. He also sighed in his heart. Seeing the conversation between the demons and believers, Salin understood that humans were indeed incomparably glorious, but that was only in the past.
Now, the fragile and dirty side of humans was revealed in his eyes, as well as that pitiful stupidity.
It was not human nature. These were just part of the human soul. When glory faded, lowliness was naturally born. But Salin was not disappointed. There would always be humans who refused to give in and degenerate.
For example, most of the mages, even if the power of the Myers Continent had declined to the extreme, the mages did not abandon their beliefs – the existence of mages was to gain insight into the truth of this world.
For mages, fighting was only a very small part of life, and most of the time, mages were experimenting, calculating, learning, and creating.
The collapsed building was already at the end of the village. Salin followed the Demon Brigade out of the village and looked back. The team on the hillside finally moved, catching up at the same speed as his team.
Salin pointed to the collapsed building and said to the people around him, "Did you see that? Even though the Titan has fallen for many years, it is still very difficult for the Vatican to preach. In such a small village, most people still refuse to believe their lies. "
Salin's words were actually said to himself, and in his heart, he now had a vague outline of the preaching method and content of the Druidic Church.
There would no longer be any lies about the creation of the world by the gods, and everyone would have the opportunity to become a god.
Two hundred Demons left on the main road, and the farmers in the village gradually surrounded them. These villagers did not know how to deal with the situation here, but from the other side of the village, more than a hundred golden-armored knights rushed in.
These golden-armored knights were holding lances that were more than four meters long. When they came to the entrance of the village, the knights dispersed. Half of them rushed into the fields, and the other half went straight to the collapsed white building.
The villagers saw the golden-armored knights, but before they could react, the golden-armored knights had already started killing.
"Those who blaspheme the gods must die!"
The Chief Inquisitor coldly ordered the massacre without giving any explanation. Many of these villagers witnessed the demons killing the priest, and also heard the conversation between the demons and the priest. This was not good for the rule of the Vatican.
The scale of this village was not small. The golden-armored knights chased the farmers in the fields. Although they encountered the counterattack of one or two farming magical beasts, and the attack of the retired soldiers with hoes, they easily completed the task of the Chief Inquisitor.
Such a village had, at most, one or two swordsmen.
However, the fields were very big, and the farmers in the distance fled into the mountains. The Chief Inquisitor's expression was cold as he took out a golden book. On the cover of this golden book, there was a big 'X' character.
There was no writing on the Myers Continent that had such stiff lines. This writing was something from another plane. The Chief Inquisitor opened the golden book, and the twelve adjudicators surrounded the Chief Inquisitor and began to chant a prayer.
A huge black 'X' flew up and formed a huge dark cloud in the sky. Within the area covered by the 'X' character, all lives quickly withered. Several farmers who were running away, as well as the farmers who were hiding in the caves in their fields, died silently. The young adjudicators watched as the Chief Inquisitor put away the golden book, and the sky brightened. Only then did they stop chanting the prayer.
The golden-armored knights returned one by one, and their expressions were as indifferent as the Chief Inquisitor's. For them, the Chief Inquisitor's orders only needed to be executed to the letter, and they could not be questioned.
Why they killed the farmers was not important at all.
"Let's go." The Chief Inquisitor felt that Salin's team was too far away, so he lifted the reins and chased after them westward.
The golden-armored knights quickly followed, and the village was set ablaze, and everything was burned to ashes. It was as if this village had never existed in this world.
A long time after the Chief Inquisitor's team left, a short figure crawled out of the ruins. It was the child who had spoken to Neris, Geigs.
Geigs crawled out of the ruins, and his hands and feet were burned, but he was unaware of it.
Everything in the village had been destroyed, and he was the only one left alive. In his hands, he was still holding the statue that Neris had given him. It was a small devil statue, and now only half of it remained. The lower half of its body had also turned to ashes. If it wasn't for the protection of this statue, he would have died.
"Dad … Where's mom?" Geigs did not cry. Without seeing his parents, he did not dare to cry.
No one would answer him. The Chief Inquisitor's divine technique was aimed at these villagers, but even the flying scavengers in the sky were affected, so the mice underground would not be spared.
The sky was gloomy, and there were still flames in the broken houses that had not been extinguished. The air was boiling, and Geigs could not help but shed tears as he walked out of the village step by step.
