There was a sudden fire, and the charred corpse of a Dark Moon Apostle's attendant stood in front of him. The clergymen who had heard the commotion outside were shouting, "Enemy attack!"
As a victim who had been forced to participate in the Church's conspiracy, he had reported his abnormal reaction to his superiors as a test. Furthermore, he had the Holy Bible of Sun, which was enough to be regarded as a heretic and cause death.
What should he do in such a situation?
"Run, of course!!!"
After a moment of panic, Vincent suddenly became extremely calm and made a prompt decision. Before the clergymen arrived, he turned and ran to the window of the room. He opened the window and jumped out.
In such a situation, there were only him and his attendant. One was alive, and the other was dead. There was also a dagger on the ground. Any normal person would have imagined a plot, and he would not be able to defend himself.
And Vincent already understood why this servant would appear here. Vanessa must have guessed something, or she didn't want to let go of any uncertain factors, so she simply sent someone over to kill him and end everything once and for all.
Therefore, it was obvious who Vanessa would side with. As long as he was caught, there was only death waiting for him!
There was only one choice left, and that was to run!
"Bang!"
"Where is he? … He ran away! "Remember the website: m.9biquge.com.
Vincent jumped out of the window and rolled pathetically to reduce the force. When he staggered out of the sea of fire, he heard the sound of the door being knocked open behind him, as well as the sound of metal armor moving.
He turned around to take a look. The house was completely collapsing. Outside the door stood all the preachers of the Gospel. They wore silver armor and were covered with white cloths with the shape of the moon. They held long swords in their hands. There were at least a dozen of them.
Behind the helmet, the leader's cold eyes met Vincent's gaze through the charred corpse of the attendants that had been reduced to ashes and the raging flames. Then, he raised his sword and shouted loudly, "Attendant Hyman has been killed. The arsonist is over there. He is the renegade priest, Vincent! Chase! Everyone, listen to my orders. Split into teams and flank him. Inform all the clergymen of the Seventh Parish and the Court of Heresy to lock down the parish and kill the heretics! "
"Damn it! They're coming for me! "
Vincent was both shocked and furious. As he scrambled away, he cast all sorts of divine spells on himself while cursing Vanessa for being ruthless. She indeed lived up to her reputation of being swift and decisive.
One moment, she was talking to him with a gentle smile on her face, and the next, she sent Hymin to assassinate him.
If Hymin succeeded, then everything would be fine. After all, Vincent was just an ordinary priest with no status or ability. If such a person died in the process of eliminating a demon, it would be perfectly normal.
As a Dark Moon Apostle, Vanessa had ten thousand ways to cover up the truth and make everyone forget about him.
What's more, behind her might be … the entire Church!
If Hymin was unfortunate enough to fail and was killed instead, she would immediately turn the tables and have the evangelist kill him on the spot, then deal with him as a heretic.
Anyway, no matter what he did, he would still be dead in the end. It was hard to imagine that Vanessa had already made a foolproof plan to kill a small ant like him in the short amount of time they had spent together.
Perhaps the only thing that exceeded Vanessa's expectations was the Holy Scripture of the Sun in his arms, which was constantly emitting light and heat.
"The owner of the bookstore told me to report to him immediately if I discovered anything unusual … Oh, right, that young girl in the dream just now looked a little like that assistant in the bookstore. Could it be … could it be that this was also within his expectations? Was this all part of his plan?!"
"If that's the case, that dream just now, when the sun was placed in my hands, was it hinting at the power of the Holy Scripture of the Sun? It was this power that saved my life from Hymin's dagger, and caused this chaotic fire! "
Vincent stumbled and climbed up pathetically. He realized in shock that he had become a chess piece that could be lucky or unlucky in this game of bigwigs …
Vanessa easily grasped his actions, while the owner of the bookstore had already predicted Vanessa's actions before everything happened.
"No, perhaps what he really saw was the purpose of the entire Church …"
Vincent trembled as he gripped the Holy Scripture in his arms tightly. He looked at the blazing sea of fire in front of him, and heard the sound of armor shaking the ground coming from all directions. A sense of danger and nervousness surged in his heart, causing his back to be covered in sweat, and his heart to thump wildly.
The evangelist's ability was far beyond his. If not for the raging flames blocking him, he would not have been able to run more than a few steps.
It was the Holy Scripture of the Sun in his arms that had been emitting intense heat and endless power, splitting the flames into two sides, allowing Vincent to directly ignore the sea of fire and pass through smoothly.
The sea of fire was their greatest obstacle, but to Vincent, it was unobstructed.
However, the evangelist had already completed the encirclement and was shrinking the circle. If he could not break through, he would still end up being captured and executed as a heretic!
Before this, Vincent was just an ordinary priest. He had never seen such a scene. He gritted his teeth and ran for a while. Now, his legs were a little weak, and his whole body was trembling.
There were hundreds of evangelists in the Seventh Parish alone, ranging from the Abnormal to the Panic level. Any one of them could kill him more than ten times over. The Heresy Court of Inquiry was an incomparably terrifying existence, and now the entire Seventh Parish was on lockdown to hunt him down.
This was a dead end …
Vincent's vision almost turned black. He swayed for a while, then stared fixedly at the Holy Scripture in his hands.
The thick and solemn book emitted a blazing golden light, forming a spherical field. At this moment, it was constantly flashing, as if there was a huge force stirring, brewing a storm.
Open it … Open it!
There was a voice calling out to him from the unseen world. Vincent took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. He had no choice at all.
The priest took a deep breath and reached out to press on the edge of the book, slowly flipping open the first page.
At the same time, the evangelists broke through the sea of fire and surrounded him in the middle, forming a formation. Swords and spears glittering with cold light were pointed at him. The leader raised his right hand and waved it down without hesitation. "Kill him!"
The swords and divine spells arrived in the blink of an eye.
Vincent flipped open the Holy Scripture of Sun, and the dazzling light instantly burst out. The pages of the book moved without any wind, and the strange golden words on the book left the pages and floated up, surrounding him. The power of the book was poured into his body.
Time seemed to have stopped.
"Ahhhh!"
Vincent felt that his whole body was burning. His skin and flesh seemed to have turned into scorched earth, and his blood was like magma. His eyes were burning, and he was in extreme pain. His body was like a volcano that could erupt at any time, but there was no way to do so. In this constant suppression, he thought of the sun he was holding in his hand in the dream.
Just as the thought came to his mind, he suddenly felt heat in his hand. He lifted it up to take a look. It was a small fireball as hot as the sun. Twisted light and flames were constantly flowing out from his palm, making the fireball bigger.
Vincent's body relaxed, and he felt that he had found a breakthrough.
All the power suddenly flowed into the "sun" in his hand. It was getting bigger and bigger …
The evangelists looked in horror at the "heretic" in the middle of his raised hands. The fireball that was like the sun was constantly expanding, and a terrifying wave of power was emitted from it.
One meter, three meters, ten meters … The dazzling sun that was more than the height of a three-story building was shining, illuminating the night!
Abnormal Grade, Panic Grade … until it was Destruction Grade!
"Clang, clang …"
The weapons in the hands of the evangelists fell to the ground, and some of them could not help but tremble and retreat.
Vincent, who was floating in the air, was completely blind. He was filled with blazing white light, and the skin all over his body was cracked and bleeding. The light seeped through the cracks, emitting a terrifying heat.
He looked up at the fireball and suddenly felt extremely warm and at ease. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "Praise … the sun!"
As if responding to his call, the huge sun suddenly shrank, paused, and then suddenly exploded. Endless light and heat poured out, engulfing everything!
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
The evangelist was the first to be engulfed by the red light, and turned into ashes in an instant as he screamed.
Then, a spherical force field wrapped in flames and high temperature expanded in all directions like a tsunami, pushing forward and wiping out everything on the ground.
— —
"This is what happened. I suspect that the bookstore is the stronghold of a heretic evil god, and he has already found clues about the brain of the Holy Moon, and wants to use this to shake the faith of the moon …"
"I understand. Continue to pay attention. This bookstore is not simple, and we need to plan further. Remember, it's best to be careful."
"Yes."
Vanessa nodded respectfully. When the image on the water mirror disappeared, she heard the servant report that Hymin's assassination had failed, and that Vincent seemed to have hidden power.
But she did not take the explosion and fire to heart. In her opinion, an Abnormal Grade priest could kill Hymin instead, and that was already the limit. How could he create more waves?
Vanessa sat on the seat in front of the confessional. She supported her head with her hands and narrowed her eyes, waiting for the news from the evangelists.
Boom …
Suddenly, the entire building started to shake slightly. Vanessa had just stood up in shock when she sensed an annihilation-class energy wave. All the windows in the church lit up with a blinding red light. Then, they all shattered. The huge force field destroyed all the walls and pillars. Fire and light filled her vision in an instant.
"What's going on?!"
Vanessa's expression changed drastically. She instantly activated her power, wanting to silence the surrounding aether, but the violent aether power was like a wild horse out of control. Plus, the area was huge, and she could only form a completely still space around her to isolate that terrifying power.
She clenched her teeth and held on for a while. Suddenly, a second wave of white light came like a wave. The [Silent Territory] that she had hastily completed was broken through by the endless high temperature flames, and she was engulfed in the flames that swept over her, losing her consciousness.
Only then did the terrifying, earth-shattering sound arrive.
Boom … Boom!!!
The Seventh Church was razed to the ground!
