[The first chapter, the fourth chapter today.]
I may have done many things that are against the law, but I am still the most devout believer.
The Chief Judge took out his golden book and approached the altar that Salin built under the protection of the golden-armored knights. He calmed down, and he prayed and blessed himself.
Even the most powerful mages didn't have as many buffs as the Divinity Spells. The speed at which the golden-armored knight advanced was not fast. With every mile that he advanced, the Chief Inquisitor's body would change into a different state. Under his black robe, a white divine light would flicker. Only a little of it leaked out. It was as if an angel of pure energy was hidden under the robe.
The trial had just begun. Winter didn't follow the rules of the Holy Church and didn't question them. Instead, he walked to the mages who were chained to the pillars and said in his rusty voice, "In the name of the Goddess of Nature, I pronounce you guilty!"
Then, Winter forcefully inserted a green seed that he got from Neris into the mages' bodies. This green seed immediately started to absorb energy crazily after it entered the mages' bodies.
Then, this seed took root in the bodies of the mages. Although the mages of the Holy Church had fear in their eyes, and their bodies were struggling, the chains that bound them were made by Salin on the spot. They mimicked the fallen chains that the Goddess of Nature left behind.
Salin did not know much about the rules of the Fallen Shackles, but the level of these mages was too low. They were many times lower than a Nascent Soul. Salin's imitation of the Fallen Shackles locked the mages' souls in place, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
The mages who were being judged couldn't speak at all, and they could only watch Winter do whatever he wanted. That seed was also cultivated in the Fallen Purgatory, and it contained a trace of the Goddess of Nature's divinity. Growing such a seed in a mage's body was like dropping cold water into a pot of boiling oil.
Finally, one of the 12 mages couldn't take it anymore and suddenly opened his mouth.
"I was wrong! I want to repent! "
"Put him down." Salin looked at this mage. After this mage said that, the painful expression on his face had faded a lot. This Divinity had chosen to fall and betray the God of Light. Thus, the seed of punishment from the Goddess of Nature would not continue to grow, and the seed left in his body would not continue to harm him.
The other eleven mages looked at him with disdain. The begging mage was thrown into the Purgatory of Purification by Neris. In the Purgatory of Purification, the troubles in his body would gradually disappear. This person was still useful. Although he was only a fourth-level fallen mage, he could still be considered a helper for Winter.
The disdain of the other eleven mages did not last long. The seeds of punishment created by Neris grew too fast and had no intention of punishment. She also couldn't control the divine power of the Goddess of Nature. If it weren't for the help of the incarnation, Nelis wouldn't have been able to create such a divine thing. She was just a demon, not a god.
Salin, on the other hand, was very satisfied. If a god were to punish a person, it would be a very long process. However, he didn't want such a trial. He just wanted the people who were chasing him to show themselves.
To be able to follow him for two to three days without being shaken off, the people behind him must be very fast. Even if Salin turned around and chased them, he was not confident that he could catch up.
Salin wanted to execute these mages as soon as possible so that they wouldn't be rescued by others if he delayed any longer.
He had seen the Chief Inquisitor's ability to slaughter the villagers. Although Neris had a hundred thousand demons, it wasn't enough for the Chief Inquisitor to kill. At this level, unless he released a sufficient number of Primordial Dolls, there was almost no threat to the enemy.
Salin could only rely on his followers and his own strength.
"Blasphemers! Let go of the evil in your hearts and accept the purification of God … "
The Chief Inquisitor's voice came from a few miles away, and the entire altar shook. The pale green divine light above the altar was dispersed by the sound of purification. The souls of the four mages cheered and were about to escape.
Eleanor pulled her longbow, and four elven arrows almost instantly hit the four souls that were trying to escape. She didn't have the ability to aim at souls yet. Salin instantly shared his senses with her, and in less than twelve vibrations, Eleanor finished shooting the souls.
Twelve vibrations was equivalent to one-fifth of a second.
The archery skills of a level-eight royal elf was not much different from that of a level-nine human archer. Furthermore, Eleanor's longbow, Seven Nights, was equivalent to a divine artifact. She could also unleash her full strength.
"Arrogant people, suffer the wrath of God."
As soon as the Chief Inquisitor finished speaking, a huge sun appeared in the sky. This sun wasn't blazing, but its light enveloped the entire altar. The green divine light on the altar completely dissipated.
The sun came a little too late. The surface of the remaining eleven mages' bodies had completely hardened, turning into something like tree bark. Their internal organs had also turned into plant fibers. Under the illumination of the divine light, these mages immediately withered. When the mountain wind blew, they scattered into ashes on the ground.
The surface of Salin's body was already covered in mist. This mist spread out and covered the entire altar. Neris had already secretly opened the spatial gate to the Fallen Purgatory. Twenty-four chains quietly stretched out from the spatial gate.
This Fallen Purgatory was actually the best space for her to control. Although the rules of the Demon God's Purgatory were complete, their levels weren't high enough. Moreover, the Purgatory of Purification was still in its early stages and wasn't very stable. There were only two major elements in the Purgatory of Elements.
The power of the Fallen Chains came directly from Myers. Although the goddess had fallen, these twenty-four chains were genuine items. Even Salin's family crest couldn't destroy them.
Divine light shone down from above. No one was afraid of the people wrapped in mist. These people surrounded Salin, ready to attack at any time. Only Winter quietly snuck out from the edge of the clouds, holding the God Hunting Spear in his hand. His body turned into a shadow and sank into the soil. The place where he hid was next to a slain mage.
The God Hunting Spear had all its attributes erased by the Purgatory of Purification, so it was more suitable for Winter. Especially when hidden, the God Hunting Spear wouldn't emit any energy waves.
The hooves of horses sounded like war drums. More than a hundred golden-armored knights appeared between the two peaks and rushed towards the altar from the valley. The Chief Inquisitor didn't rush at the front. Instead, he began to prepare powerful divine spells while surrounded by the twelve Adjudicators.
The twelve Adjudicators silently chanted a prayer. Salin saw it and couldn't ignore it.
Twelve ninth-level mages were chanting a long prayer at the same time. If this divine spell was completed, it would probably be harder to deal with than a tenth-level spell. After all, the one in charge of the divine spell was a tenth-level mage.
Salin raised his left arm. The star map on his bracelet rotated, and the Thunder Dragon Spear appeared. Four dragon claws wrapped around Salin's arm. Lightning flashed at the muzzle, and an icicle of lightning flew out.
The icicle of lightning passed through the hundreds of golden-armored knights as if it had a life of its own. Salin couldn't lock onto the Chief Inquisitor, but he could target the twelve Adjudicators. When the icicle of lightning appeared, the Chief Inquisitor had already stopped his divine spell.
The only advantage of divine spells over magic was that when they suddenly stopped, the backlash wasn't that strong.
The Chief Inquisitor stopped his large-scale divine spell and didn't even cause any harm to the people around him. In his hand, the golden book's cover flew up and blocked the icicle of lightning.
The tip of the icicle of lightning flashed. It instantly adjusted its angle more than ten times in a few meters, but it still hit the X shape. The Chief Inquisitor was a rank higher than Salin. It was too difficult to bypass the Chief Inquisitor's defense by controlling his power.
The icicle of lightning exploded in front of the X shape. The X shape flew back to the cover of the golden book and flashed. The Chief Inquisitor's expression was indifferent, but he was extremely shocked.
He, the sixth artifact of the Inquisition, was actually repelled by a small icicle of the enemy!
Although the enemy's attack had stopped, it would take two to three hours to activate the X shape. In other words, the X shape was completely useless in this battle.
The Chief Inquisitor was a little regretful. This X shape was an offensive skill. It was a mistake to use it for defense.
The second icicle flew over. Salin wouldn't stop until he succeeded. The golden-armored knight had already collided with the demons. The situation wasn't looking good. Other than the two Great Demons who withstood the impact, the rest of the demons were forced onto the altar by the golden-armored knight. They couldn't stop the knight's edge.
The golden book in the Chief Inquisitor's hand automatically flipped to a page. A black symbol flew out. It looked like a straight horn. This symbol was simpler and more direct. When it collided with Salin's icicle of lightning, the icicle of lightning still shattered. However, this horn-shaped symbol flew forward for more than a hundred meters before dissipating.
The Chief Inquisitor could still maintain his calm. When the third icicle flew over, the golden book automatically flipped to the third page. A square symbol flew out, and half of it was missing. The icicle of lightning shot directly into the broken side of the symbol.
Within a radius of a few hundred meters, everyone heard a crisp sound. Crack!
This time, the icicle of lightning shattered. At the same time, the symbol released by the Chief Inquisitor also shattered.
Salin was very calm. The fourth and fifth icicle shot out at the same time, attacking two different Adjudicators.
The golden book in the Chief Inquisitor's hand flipped to the fourth page. On the fourth page, there was a twisted symbol that was divided into three sections. After this symbol flew out, it sent Salin's fourth icicle of lightning flying into the air. Then, it collided with the fifth icicle.
The symbol and the icicle shattered at the same time. However, the fourth icicle came down from the sky. The electricity on it released a crackling sound as it shot towards the head of one of the Adjudicators.
This Adjudicator calmly threw a metal disk in his hand towards the icicle of lightning. This metal disk was only the size of a palm. After it flew up, it turned into a round shield with a diameter of more than a meter.
