Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 911 - 912: Divine Grace

"Luca?"

Repeating the other party’s name in a low voice, Wilt’s expression became increasingly gloomy.

Although he had long guessed that the other party was from the Church Nation, when he saw the other party openly admitting it, unlike in the past, Wilt’s anger began to spread unceasingly in his heart.

Just like that, he admitted his identity?

Not afraid that we would bring the information back?

Or was he confident that he could kill us on the spot?

Moreover, Luca...

One of the Six Wings of the Church Nation? The Wing of Justice?

Upon learning the man’s true identity, Wilt couldn’t help but reveal emotions of shock and confusion.

The Six Wings, their name originated from the three pairs of holy wings behind the Goddess statue.

This was a new system established by the Girl of Destiny after the founding of the Church Nation.

Nominally, they had received the Goddess’s blessing, replacing the three Great Heavenly Apostles, and were the highest combat force of the Church under the Girl of Destiny.

But in the eyes of the Black Rose Family and the people of the Fata, this so-called highest combat force was full of fluff.

Back then, the strength of the Six Wings was only at level 7, and one of them was even only at level 6.

Creating these six existences that were said to be comparable to the Heavenly Apostles was nothing more than one of the strategies used by the higher-ups of the Church Nation to appease the uneasy people.

Therefore, Wilt had always held a disdainful attitude towards the Six Wings, who had a lofty reputation within the Church Nation.

"They’re just six useless people..."

This was Wilt’s evaluation of the Six Wings.

Therefore, when he learned that the person in front of him was one of the Six Wings, Wilt felt so shocked. This domineering holy aura, this fellow’s strength shouldn’t be lower than high-level 8?

What exactly was going on?

"Hehe, clearly only at the strength of early-stage level 7 six years ago, but now he has become a high-level 8 Divine Mage... The progress is really great..."

Wilt sneered with some mixed feelings.

In response to these words, Luca, who was hovering in mid-air, smiled faintly and shook his head very humbly:

"This is all the result of the Goddess’s blessing."

As he spoke, Luca flapped his wings and slowly returned to the ground.

When speaking of the Goddess, the blond man’s face overflowed with unprecedented piety and gentleness.

"Without the Goddess’s blessing, I wouldn’t be able to punish the world’s evil like this."

"Evil?"

Wilt slightly narrowed his eyes.

"Are you referring to us?"

"If not you, then who else could it be?"

Luca answered bluntly.

But when he glanced at Wilt and Ophelia, his eyes instantly became bone-chillingly cold. Those eyes didn’t look like they were looking at humans, but at scum, filled with disdain and contempt. The killing intent that was unleashed without any reservation was like a sharp blade constantly stabbing at Wilt and Ophelia. If killing intent could kill, Wilt and Ophelia would have probably been sliced and diced a thousand times by this powerhouse from the Church Nation.

Sweeping his cold gaze over Wilt and Ophelia, Luca said contemptuously:

"Have some self-awareness, will you? You two scum of society. One is a traitor to the elven race who betrayed her kind and helped the Abyssal Demons, and the other controlled an evil cult, wantonly conducting sacrifices on the continent. If you’re not evil, who else can be called evil? Not to mention that you’re now helping those Abyssal Demons to enslave and control humans. People like you who disregard human lives and wantonly slaughter the innocent are simply unworthy of living."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Luca’s words, Wilt chuckled lightly.

Of course, Wilt was well aware of his own actions. Although from the perspective of the demon race, he had never thought he had done anything wrong, but from the human perspective, he was indeed a heinous sinner.

Therefore, Wilt did not choose to refute Luca’s accusations.

However, the tone in which Luca spoke when making the accusations made Wilt quite displeased.

"Disregarding human lives? Killing the innocent? I admit that we have done plenty of such things. But... you?"

Glancing sideways, Wilt responded indifferently:

"Don’t you know how many innocent people were killed by the attack you just launched? Forget about the people from our Fata and the Ainor Chamber of Commerce, all 569 people in the entire town of Airewei also lost their lives because of your attack. You? How dare you say these words so sanctimoniously? What kind of sinners were they? Don’t you feel guilty?"

"No. They were sinners."

"What did you say?"

"Helping the Fata and the Ainor Chamber of Commerce with the transfer of goods, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the actions of these townspeople have directly or indirectly helped you control humans. Regardless, their lives have already been tainted with sin. And my responsibility is to eliminate the world’s evil. Eliminating them is a matter of course. If you want to blame someone, blame them for choosing the wrong side. Besides, letting them die in the holy light without any pain is already my greatest mercy towards them. Why should I feel guilty?"

The man named Luca answered nonchalantly.

"Hehe, is that so?"

Wilt snorted coldly, quite speechless.

Undoubtedly, if he were Luca, in order to instantly eliminate the vast majority of enemies, he certainly wouldn’t have cared about the innocent people in the town and would have unhesitatingly released the forbidden spell, engulfing everyone in it. However, after launching the attack, he wouldn’t have come up with such a sanctimonious and hypocritical excuse to absolve himself.

"You bastard, you’re really annoying..."

At this moment, while releasing a chilling murderous intent, Wilt’s eyes also flashed with a strong sense of excitement and surging fighting spirit.

Originally, Wilt harbored a deep hatred towards the people of the Church Nation and wished to eradicate all existences related to the Church Nation and the Asumos Church. Back then, Wilt had strongly opposed the Son of Demon Lord’s decision to preserve the Church.

Even though he was later forced to shut up because of the authority of the Son of Demon Lord, the dissatisfaction in Wilt’s heart could never be erased.

The people of the Church were the main culprits who caused the demon race to gradually weaken and the murderers who killed his lover!

In Wilt’s heart, something like the Church shouldn’t exist in this world.

Now, seeing his colleagues once again being turned into ashes by the holy light right in front of him, the long-accumulated anger in Wilt’s heart could no longer be suppressed and erupted.

As his anger swelled, the powerful magical power burst out from Wilt’s body like surging waves, directly clashing with Luca’s holy aura without showing any weakness.

Vaguely, a terrifying giant serpent constructed from dark green energy coiled around Wilt.

"However, it’s good that you’re so disgusting. This way, slaughtering you will have a bit of fun."

As the words fell, a huge blood-colored spear was suddenly grasped in Wilt’s hand.

This former leader of the Divine Punishment Church once again assumed a serious combat stance after a long time.

Not only Wilt, but Ophelia beside him had long been unable to restrain the fighting spirit in her heart and raised her twin blades, assuming an offensive posture.

"What are you blabbering about with him? Let’s just chop him up."

In an instant, a suffocating silver-gray fighting aura wildly overflowed from Ophelia’s body, like a hungry beast that had broken free from its restraints, suddenly pressing towards Luca from all directions.

For a moment, the auras of the two high-level 8 powerhouses intertwined, forming a world-destroying momentum that surged forward, easily shattering Luca’s holy aura.

"Luca, is it? You have provoked an enemy you absolutely shouldn’t have provoked. Prepare to pay the price for your foolishness."

Before the words had fallen, Wilt transformed into a beam of dark green light and charged towards Luca with the energy giant serpent, filled with murderous intent! Wherever they passed, all things withered, and everything was corroded and destroyed at a visible speed...

"Sacred Domain Magic - Lohmt’s Black Death Thorn Spear!"

Facing the enemy, Wilt unhesitatingly unleashed his most powerful attack, while Ophelia, at the same moment, very tacitly flashed behind Luca, preparing to cooperate with Wilt in a pincer attack.

Faced with the rapidly approaching spear and twin blades, even Luca could no longer maintain his previous indifferent expression. His eyes were filled with seriousness. Fighting against two renowned powerhouses of the past alone, even he didn’t dare to be careless.

Slowly closing his eyes, holy power gradually gathered at Luca’s chest, and an eerie and unsettling power began to ripple around his body.

"Leader of the evil cult, traitor of the Church, the time for reckoning has come."

"I am the loyal servant of the Goddess"

"I will bring down the Goddess’s divine punishment upon the world’s evil"
