"Heh, didn’t see that coming"

Pierre said, a bit surprised. But being surprised was one thing. Seeing the dragon girl and the Girl of Destiny trying to make a break for it, Pierre’s eyes flashed with a cruel light. He had no plans to let the Girl of Destiny get away alive.

"Think you can run from me?"

"Don’t get too comfy just because you’ve got a baby dragon on your side."

"That’s wishful thinking."

"Kill that woman, then knock out that blonde loli and take her back. We’ll give her to that crazy woman" the man said with and icy tone,

Taking a deep breath, Pierre gripped his sword tight. Shadow power started to flow through him, charging up his pale greatsword. Dark purple symbols showed up on the blade, and bursts of lightning turned everything to dust. The energy was so intense it even warped the space around it.

As Pierre was arrogantly preparing to launch his attack, focusing all his attention on the silver-haired girl, something unexpected happened.

A white flash, buzzing with killer intent, zoomed in from the ruins at insane speed. It caught Pierre off guard.

"What the—?!"

"This aura, holy aura? And it’s eight-level?"

Caught off guard, Pierre watched as the light faded to reveal a white-haired woman wrapped in holy aura, wearing a black military skirt. She didn’t hesitate. Her sword, glowing with powerful energy, aimed straight for the back of Pierre’s head.

"I’ve got this! Don’t you dare touch Mengxi!"

"Heh..."

Hearing these words, Pierre raised his eyebrows.

The next moment,

Pierre disdainfully tilted his head, dodging the white-haired girl’s rapid strike, and took a glance at her murderous face. After seeing her face clearly, the corner of his mouth rose slightly, and a smug, mocking smile appeared again.

"Oh? A Heavenly Apostle? That’s the best you’ve got? You think you can save her with that little power…?"

It has to be admitted,

In terms of mockery, no one among Yumo’s many children could compare with Pierre. His playful and disdainful words immediately made the white-haired girl’s eyes narrow, her azure pupils filled with anger.

Surrounded by a dense aura of light-based holy energy, the enraged white-haired girl quickly adjusted her stance and thrust an even more ferocious attack at the back of the purple-haired man.

"Arrogant? Take this!"

The momentum of the white-haired girl, also known as Bai Yanluo, skyrocketed instantly, and her face was etched with glowing blue-white symbols.

The sword, brimming with destructive energy, soared in a straight line. This was Bai Yanluo’s strongest single-target move, ’Radiant Annihilation.’ Once the sword penetrated the enemy and thermal energy was injected into it, the enemy could be vaporized instantly.

Stepping onto the battlefield and feeling the creepy aura from the purple-haired guy, Bai Yanluo felt a whole new level of pressure. His murderous intent was suffocating, making it hard for her to breathe.

As an Apostle of the Church who had been through many battles, Bai Yanluo had a wealth of experience against demons. She even had combat records against Nightmare and Snow Devourer, achieving decent results.

However, frankly speaking, the aura of those two demon kings were incomparable to the man in front of her. They were not in the same realm.

This guy in front of her,

Is definitely one of the strongest among Demon Kings...

Faced with an opponent of this level, one wrong move could result in death.

Knowing this, Bai Yanluo didn’t hold back. Right from the get-go, she activated her ’Divine War’ Form cranking up her combat power to the max. She focused all her energy on her sword and launched her most powerful attack, ’Radiant Annihilation.’ While it might not look flashy, this move could seriously mess up anyone it hit. At the very least, it would wreck their insides, big time.

Although it didn’t have dazzling grandeur, this move contained extremely strong penetration and destructive power against the enemy’s body.

Once it hit the enemy, even if it couldn’t turn them to ashes from the inside out, it could severely damage their internal organs, greatly reducing their combat power!

Unleashing all her strength, Bai Yanluo suppressed her inner anxiety and charged decisively into the man’s dark purple thunderous aura. As a church knight, Bai Yanluo was clear about her duty to protect the Girl of Destiny and the believers.

This Demon King was a ticking time bomb. If he wasn’t stopped here, who knows what could happen, especially in a crowded place like Anvika.

"Die, you monster!!"

"Heh ~ This time... your aura is much stronger."

Facing the all-out attack from Bai Yanluo, feeling the horrifying high temperature contained in the Apostle’s weapon, Pierre not only felt no danger but rather, he looked kinda interested. Those with holy energy are the targets Pierre prioritizes eliminating, second only to the Chosen Ones.

"Too bad, you’re still not good enough."

With a cold smile, Pierre lifted his pale greatsword.

An Apostle is someone he’d like to dispose of as quickly as possible. Moreover, this woman appeared to be the leader of the ’Sunlight’ squad that had been mentioned by Kalina in the reports—Bai Yanluo.

That is, the person who had ’bullied’ his two adorable little sisters before.

Eliminating her would not only further weaken the Church but also avenge his sisters; ’killing two birds with one stone’

Thinking this, a massive dark purple shadow energy began to rapidly gather on the ’Silver Moon Sword.’

However,

Just as Pierre was about to strike down Bai Yanluo with a single sword, another aura burst into Pierre’s perception. Before Pierre could even react, a pale purple bolt of lightning appeared right in front of him! As Pierre’s eyes focused, the figure of the newcomer was fully revealed.

It was a tall, well-built man.

With a handsome face, his flaxen hair flowed freely, enveloped by intermittent flashes of lightning. A rich pale purple holy aura formed an unbreakable thunderous armor around him. Moreover, the power of thunder even condensed into physical wings, floating behind the man, making him appear like an angel of judgment descended to the mortal world to eliminate evil.

The man’s eyes were cold yet filled with a strong fighting spirit.

And he was another Apostle sent by Pope Kael to protect Mengxi along with Bai Yanluo.

Possessing thunder attribute holy aura, the leader of the ’Dark Moon Shadow’ squad—Kain.

The next moment,

A sword hidden in the bracer of Kain’s arm suddenly shot out, mixed with destructive thunder force, aimed straight at Pierre’s face. Along with Bai Yanluo’s ’Radiant Annihilation,’ a pincer attack was launched against Pierre.

"Heh?! Another Apostle?"

Facing the rapidly enlarging blade in his vision, Pierre got a bit surprised.

The appearance of Bai Yanluo didn’t surprise him; it would be strange if such an important figure as the Girl of Destiny didn’t have an Apostle to protect her.

However,

The sudden appearance of two Apostles was a bit beyond Pierre’s expectations.

What surprised Pierre even more was something unusual from below his feet.

Facing the coordinated attack of two Apostles, and the nearly point-blank attack, Pierre’s first reaction was to dodge, causing the two Apostles to attack each other. But, when Pierre tried to dodge quickly, a strong suction force suddenly came from the ground, causing Pierre’s movements to freeze on the spot.

"What? What is this?"

He looked down, confused for the first time.

"You? You old thing, you’re not dead?!"

At this moment,

Under Pierre’s feet, Borulov, who had been cut in half by the ’Void Slash’ and turned into a corpse, suddenly showed signs of movement. The dispersed gray magic rapidly gathered, accompanied by a ghostly howl. Borulov’s bisected body and internal organs all turned into nauseating blood, which quickly gathered under Pierre’s feet.

Forming a deep pool of blood infused with a ghostly aura.

A pair of ferocious claws, constructed from blood, suddenly stretched out of the pool. They grabbed Pierre’s feet like vengeful spirits from hell, making it difficult for him to move quickly as planned.

At the same time,

A face as decayed as a wicked ghost reflected from the pool, its red eyes fixed firmly on Pierre.

"Don’t think I’d die so easily! The one who will die is you!!!!!!!!"

A hoarse roar resounded in Pierre’s ears.

The sudden reanimation of the supposedly dead Borulov left Pierre bewildered. However, he had no time to ponder why the ghostly old man didn’t die, as the combined attack of Bai Yanluo and Kain had already reached Pierre’s vitals.

Right then, two powerful enemies from different sides teamed up, by chance, for a joint attack on Pierre.

’Well..’

’This is getting interesting~ ’

A playful expression appeared on Pierre’s face. At this moment, his inner thirst for battle suddenly intensified.

Facing a coordinated attack that could easily bring down an average eighth level, Pierre’s dark purple eyes were filled with excitement.

In the next instant,

Drawing on unparalleled combat experience, the purple-haired man swiftly swung his massive sword in an unbelievably quick motion, under the incredulous gazes of Kain and Bai Yanluo. Empowered by the violent dark purple force, the pale giant sword directly helped Pierre block the attack coming from Bai Yanluo at his rear.

A burst of lightning flashed, instantly swallowing the cold light from Bai Yanluo’s sharp sword.

At the same time,

Pierre’s left hand quickly lifted and forcefully grabbed Kain’s concealed wrist-blade, blocking Kain’s murderous assault.

For a moment,

The holy energy contained in the wrist-blade exploded wildly, mercilessly tearing Pierre’s left hand into a bloody mess. Blood continuously dripped from Pierre’s palm. However, Pierre didn’t show any signs of pain; instead, his expression became even more excited. With a swift wave of his hand, he changed the direction of Kain’s attack.

Kain, who was constantly trying to break free from Pierre’s restraint, was unable to react to the sudden change in the direction of his attack. He plunged headfirst into the pool of blood on the ground, making close contact with Borulov.

In an instant,

The wrist-blade, filled with destructive lightning power, pierced into the pool of blood.

Boom!!!

With a series of loud noises and bursts of lightning, the terrifying force of the lightning hadn’t even had a chance to unleash itself on Pierre before it was completely injected into the blood pool. The horrific sacred energy went rampant, making Borulov’s expression contort instantly, emitting a heart-wrenching wail.

The intense pain made Borulov involuntarily loosen his grip on Pierre.

With his legs freed, Pierre’s eyes narrowed sharply.

He kicked out of the blood pool in a single stride, striking Kain in the abdomen, turning him into a purple meteor that fiercely crashed into a distant tower, shattering it into pieces and causing it to collapse .

Then, Pierre effortlessly leapt up, quickly turned around, and delivered a spinning kick that hit Bai Yanluo in the forehead, showing no mercy as he sent the white-haired girl flying with one kick.

Just like that,

Under the astonished gazes of Phillipe and others not far away,

In just a brief encounter, Pierre had broken through the triple combined attack and effortlessly dealt heavy blows to three eight-level Humans.

"Is that all you’ve got? Come on, give me some fun~!"
