André did not understand why Cranium Crusher would go on a killing spree over such a trivial matter. He did not know the predicament that Mia's Cult was in.
Up until now, Mia's Cult had a total of nine followers: John and his son, the old carpenter, the shopkeeper's family of three, two old folks who lived in the countryside, and a traveling merchant who was rarely seen. If George had been the last to join the cult, the number of followers would have broken through the double digits!
It was a shame that André had ruined such an important progress. They had lost a tenth of their followers, which was a heavy blow. It was only natural that Renault would seek revenge.
Of course, Renault would not explain this to his enemy. He continued to ask other questions, including what André was doing in the hole.
When he heard that André had summoned a Tyrannical Demon to deal with him, his eyes behind the mask glowed.
"You are too despicable! Too shameless!"
"Where is that Tyrannical Demon? I will not allow this demon to wreak havoc in the human world. I will stop it even if it means risking my life! "
You crushed it to a pulp as soon as it was born. What do you mean by risking your life?
André was speechless. He pointed at the pile of flesh not far away.
The stone mill that had crushed the Tyrannical Demon to death had also been reduced to dust after the Theurgy had lost its effect. It was now mixed with the remains of the Tyrannical Demon.
Renault hurried over, ignoring the mess on the ground. He lowered his head and rummaged through the remains.
"What a waste!"
"It was so hard to find a demon, and it was reduced to dust just like that …"
In the sect's underground library, there was a book that looked like a monster encyclopedia. It recorded high-level demons like the Tyrannical Devil.
Aside from its immense strength, thick skin, and ferocious nature, it was also very valuable. Many of its organs and tissues could be used to make high-grade equipment. A complete Tyrannical Demon's corpse could be sold for at least two to three thousand gold coins. If it was alive, the price would be even higher.
Back then, when he was so poor that he could only eat potatoes, Reynolds had always been secretly hoping that some ignorant cult would recruit some high-value demons to improve his life.
Although it didn't violate the doctrine, it wasn't a good thing for a demon to descend into the world. Therefore, he only dared to think about it secretly and didn't dare to say it out loud.
In the end, he had finally encountered it once, but before he could even see its face, it had turned into a pile of minced meat. It could be said that it was worthless. He couldn't even feed it to the kittens.
Renault immediately felt his heart ache. He scolded André in exasperation.
"Since you're already so sinister and vicious, can't you summon a more powerful demon?"
"No … I …"
André was at a loss for words.
Fortunately, Reynolds carefully searched for a while and finally found something. He found a piece of purplish-black meat.
It was the heart of a Tyrannical Demon. Although it had stopped beating, it was still intact. The evil aura that should have been there had also been purified by the divine spell.
The fact that the heart could remain intact under the powerful gravity field was enough to prove how sturdy it was. It was also the most valuable part of the Tyrannical Demon's body. Many Mages would bid for it.
It was worth it.
Renault put the Tyrannical Demon's heart away with satisfaction. He continued to ask André a few more questions, mainly about whether the father and son duo had any other schemes.
André was only a middle-level member. That was all he knew. He had already told Renault everything.
Throughout the questioning, Renault used a lie detection divine spell, the same kind that Undine used to collect testimonies to ensure that André wasn't lying.
"Alright, we've more or less understood the situation. You should repent and turn over a new leaf."
Renault said at last.
André couldn't help but feel elated. Although this Cranium Crusher was powerful, he wasn't cruel enough. He actually spared his life?
Of course, now was the time to pretend to repent. As long as he could keep his life, he could go back and find his important friends …
Unfortunately, before he could think about it, he heard a crisp snap of a finger.
After a dull thud, Renault lowered his head to look at Andre's corpse and muttered, "That's right.
He muttered, "Looks like you know your sins and have chosen to turn over a new leaf …"
With that, he sprayed holy flames on the corpse to destroy it. Then, he jumped onto Amelia's back and returned to Sinless City.
Not long after he left, a few groups of Holy Knights and Crusaders covered a few carriages and arrived at the excavation site.
These were the troops of the three major Orthodox Churches. The group was huge, and there were at least a thousand of them.
When the Tyrannical Demon descended, the three major Orthodox Churches in Sinless City all received a warning. They quickly gathered their men and rushed over in the middle of the night, ready to fight a bloody battle with the demon.
Red-robed Bishop Yek even personally led a team to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
Unfortunately, they only saw a clean battlefield. There wasn't even a corpse left.
Bishop Yek jumped off the carriage, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the residual energy waves in the air.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "There's holy flames.
"There's the fluctuation of Holy Flames, and there's also a somewhat unfamiliar fluctuation. If I remember correctly, it seems to be an ancient war divine spell?"
"War divine spell? There's such a type of divine spell? "
A Primordial Chaos Knight Captain asked. He was the leader of the Primordial Chaos Knights.
"Divine spells originate from faith and the power of the gods. They are omnipotent. Of course, there are more than four types. It's just that many of the less commonly used ones have been lost, and the remaining ones have been reclassified. That's why there are only four types left."
The Bishop of the Supreme True God Religion who had met Reynolds once before explained. Then, he turned to Bishop Yek and asked:
"Lord Yek, are you sure this is the effect of a war divine spell?"
He pointed at the huge sinkhole in front of him, his eyes filled with deep fear. He couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"With such power, it's no wonder that war divine spells are forbidden by the gods …"
Bishop Yek pondered for a while and finally gave a definite answer:
"As far as I know, other than war divine spells used to invade cities, no other divine spells below level eight can cause such an effect. And if a level eight divine spell was used, we would definitely be able to sense it."
In truth, several hundred years ago, when the gods were still at war and the churches on the surface were still fighting against each other, war divine spells were still very common.
But later, when the war between the gods came to an end, the gods reached a tacit agreement. The religions tended to coexist peacefully, and all kinds of destructive war divine spells were forbidden by the gods.
But no one expected that today, someone would suddenly break the ban …
