Aston was very excited. The Glorious Recovery Alliance had been developing slowly around Blood Shadow City all this while, seeking a chance to break through their shackles. However, there was no chaos in the Ryan Empire, so there was no chance for them to make a move.
Moreover, the Ryan Empire and the Irus Empire were now in full cooperation. Although the Glorious Recovery Alliance did not want to admit it, the situation in the Ryan Empire was actually getting better and better, and the people's quality of life was getting better and better.
This was not a situation they wanted to see. The higher the quality of life, the lower the people's desire to overthrow the current regime, and the less space they had to develop.
But now, they actually found out that the Holy Maiden of the Fire God Vatican had an illegitimate child with a human when she was stranded in a human kingdom!
Awesome, this is just too awesome!
"Who are you?"
Coco suddenly froze, her expression changing drastically. "You heard what we said!"
Tsk tsk! This acting — the Oscar is waving at you!
"Hahahaha …"
Aston laughed maniacally. "I must thank you, Saintess Coco. If it weren't for your conversation, I wouldn't even know that the noble and pure Saintess Coco of the Ryan Empire had an illegitimate child with a human!"
Coco shouted anxiously, "Damn it! Vanilla, help me! Don't let him escape! If this news gets out, I'm done for! "
"Don't worry, hahaha … None of you will die today, because we still need you!"
Aston laughed maniacally as he took down the weapons on his back — a pair of battle-axes — and descended from the sky. Sharp energy blasted toward them, making it hard for them to stand still.
Vanilla's expression changed, and he suddenly rushed to Coco's side. Then, the two of them worked together to erect a shield, taking the fatal blow head-on!
"Hah!"
Aston roared, and the energy accumulated in the battle-axes instantly exploded, turning into a violent hurricane that blew in all directions. The explosive force pressed the two Holy Maidens into the ground.
Tang En, who was holding Winette, screamed in pain as he was blown to the ground by the strong wind, rolling and crashing into a tree.
What a piece of trash!
Aston looked at Tang En with contempt, then turned his attention to Saintess Coco.
As a Peak Grandmaster Berserker, Aston naturally wasn't afraid of the two Gold-ranked Holy Maidens. However, according to rumors, when the two Holy Maidens worked together, they could exhibit combat power that exceeded their current standards. Hence, to avoid a setback, Aston chose not to enter a combat state. Instead, he maintained a calm mind and paid attention to the two Holy Maidens' condition.
"Hurry up and run!"
Coco screamed at Tang En, "Otherwise, none of us will be able to escape!"
"No! I won't run! "
Tang En looked at Keke affectionately and said, "Even if we die, our family will die together!"
"You idiot!"
When Aston saw that Coco was about to vomit blood from anger, he laughed maniacally. "What an affectionate yet foolish man. Too bad … you're all coming with me today!"
"Even if you don't want to go, you have to think about our daughter!"
Coco looked like she couldn't hold on any longer. She struggled and said, "Hurry up and run!"
Vanilla, who was standing to the side, was about to explode from embarrassment when he saw the two of them putting on such an emotional performance.
However, their performance deeply moved another spectator, making him believe in the bitter drama unfolding right now.
"Kneel down!"
Aston didn't want to continue watching them flaunt their love, so he smashed his axe against the shield. Several cracks appeared on the shield, and the heavy force pressed them to the ground once more.
"Since you won't leave, then let us die together!"
Coco, who was hiding behind the shield, chanted loudly, "God says, all sins shall be burned into nothingness by holy flames … Divine Art: Flame of Purification!"
Scorching flames suddenly descended from the sky and landed on Aston's body. He grunted and allowed the flames to burn his body. A moment later, his body trembled, and the divine power flames shattered into pieces.
Divine Arts could ignore the Blood Aura Armor of the Apocalypse to a certain extent, but if the difference in power between the caster and the target was too great, the effects of the divine art might not be effective.
Moreover, Coco and Vanilla were still holding back in order to achieve the best effect. Otherwise, the flames they released as soon as they joined forces would have burned this guy to ashes.
It was the first time in history that Coco realized how difficult it was to play the role of the weak. She secretly glanced at Tang En, who was comfortably lying on the ground with Winette in his arms and enjoying the show. She cursed inwardly.
This guy was too good at slacking off!
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, you're important 'evidence' to us!"
Aston licked his lips and grinned savagely. "Of course, if you don't listen, I'll have to resort to violence … Your Holiness Saintesses, which path do you choose?"
"We choose … to let you die!"
Coco roared furiously, and a terrifying flame shot out from her palm and engulfed Aston's body.
"So … this is the power of the Fire God Vatican's divine arts …"
Aston slowly parted the flames. Although there were wisps of smoke rising from his body, he didn't suffer much damage. "It only looks impressive, but it doesn't have much effect …"
This was the first time Aston had personally experienced the effects of a divine art. Unfortunately, he was greatly disappointed.
The Fire God Vatican's divine arts were known for their offensive power. If even their divine arts were so weak, then there was no need to even mention the divine arts of other churches.
"Damn it! Why is this guy so strong?! "
Coco looked very despairing. "We can't escape, we can't escape … But even so, I have to give it my all!"
"What a beautiful expression … If the believers saw this, their blood would definitely boil. It's a pity that I'm the only one in front of you …"
Aston licked his lips. "Amazing … If it weren't for the urgent matter, I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to have a taste of the saintess …"
Tang En, who had been watching the show from the side, had a cold look in his eyes when he heard this. However, he quickly restrained his impulses.
There was a contingency plan in the original plan. If these people wanted to make a move on Vanilla and Coco, they would have to give up on plan one, which was the most important plan, and switch to plan two.
However, from the looks of it, this guy seemed to value Vanilla and Coco very much. There was no need to worry about them for the time being.
However …
He still had to put on an act …
Tang En suddenly crawled up from the ground and placed Winette on the ground. He yelled as he charged at Aston, "Bastard! You're an ugly monster! Let them go! "
"Monster?"
Aston smiled contemptuously and reached out a finger to press Tang En. Sensing his feeble struggle, Aston revealed a condescending sneer. "I don't know where you lowly humans get the confidence to call us monsters …"
"Bastard! Let them go! "
"A powerless weakling is only fit to bitterly struggle for survival under the breath of the strong. As for you, your life and death is completely under my control … Unfortunately, I don't even have the interest to use you to threaten them, because … you're really too weak!"
With a flick of Aston's finger, Twain was sent flying. He crashed heavily into a tree trunk and even spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Nobodi! You bloody bastard! — — You bloody bastard! Go to hell! "
Coco looked as if she had lost all reason in her fury. Flames of divine magic surged out once more, but it was too ineffective against Aston.
"Don't worry … I've been merciful, so he shouldn't die. Oh, crap, I forgot he's a human. I've been merciful according to the standards of us orcs. He's not really dead, is he?"
Aston turned his head and saw that Tang En was still alive. He immediately laughed. "Mm, that's good. I didn't expect this guy to be so tough."
Nonsense! How could he not be tough?!
Vanilla, who was suffering from the cancer of embarrassment, silently complained. He had clearly been played like a fool and didn't even know that he had fallen into a trap. This guy's current state of mind was unbelievably good …
Aston glanced at Tang En and ignored him. Right now, all his attention was focused on the two Holy Maidens. As for Tang En … He was only there to prove the truth of the Holy Maidens having an illegitimate child with a human. It was better if they had, but it didn't matter if they didn't.
"Since you're unwilling to cooperate, I can only force you to."
Aston sneered, and his attacks became even more ferocious.
Vanilla and Coco 'bitterly held on' under Aston's attacks for about ten minutes before receiving Tang En's orders. Finally, they could no longer hold on and their defenses completely collapsed. Then, Aston laughed maniacally as he smashed them to the ground and took out a special rope to tie them up.
Then, Aston's subordinates suddenly appeared from the forest and surrounded Tang En with mocking smiles. They didn't even bother to tie up Tang En. In their eyes, this human was too weak. They could squash him to death with a single finger. Now that he was seriously injured, there was no need to worry about him escaping.
"Sir, this girl …"
Aston glanced at Winette. Just as he was about to reach out and snatch her away from Tang En's arms, Winette began to wail loudly.
Aston frowned and retracted his hand. Winette immediately stopped crying.
"Just let him hold her."
Aston didn't want to listen to a child's cries the entire journey. This little girl was important evidence. He couldn't kill her yet.
This human wouldn't be able to escape anyway. Just let him hold her and they'd have some peace.
"Let's hurry and set off. If the Holy See discovers that their Holy Maiden has disappeared, they'll probably send people out to search for her. It won't be easy for us to leave then."
At Aston's command, they immediately led Tang En and the others to the dragon chariot and quickly set off for Bloodshadow Town.
