Chapter 1067: Clean Up

In Flora City of the Lance Continent, there were large numbers of troops gathered. The city gate was locked, and all the war machines were unleashed.

From afar, Flora city looked like a prepared hedgehog ready to defend itself.

Tne crossbows and stone-throwers made the city unapproachable.

Knights were patrolling all around the city, looking for danger.

The safest place in the city was an old castle. It belonged to the noble family of the first city owner, and the entire city was built around it.

It has the tightest defense, with a deep river home to cannibal fishes guarding the perimeter.

The only way to enter the castle was through a mobile bridge, and at that moment, it was lifted.

The gate was wrapped in metal sheets with sharp pins hammered onto it.

100 Knights, including 10 elite holy knights, gathered in the court. They were all from the Holy light Kingdom to protect preacher Conner.

To ensure his safety and potential spies of the wizard union, all the nobles and servants of the castle were sent away.

A few preachers around Flora City had already disappeared, and Emperor Harvey was not willing to lose another one.

A team of knights like this was enough to take down anyone in the Lance Continent, let alone protecting a preacher.

Of course, they also wanted to capture the attack. Even if they couldn’t, they could at least kill him.

Preacher Conner was getting a little worried. He hadn’t felt this way ever since he became a preacher.

However, his fear subsided when he gazed around at the powerful knights around him again.

If Emperor Harvey hadn’t insisted, he almost felt the urge to leave the city.

“Preacher Conner, don’t worry. There is no way the attacker can escape!” An elite knight said gently.

He had fought with a wizard before, so he was confident in his skills. A wizard’s flashing ability would lose its advantage in the face of his holy freeze. His aura range would make any wizard in the Lance Continent feel hopeless.

The wizards used to be the pinnacle of prestige, but now they were nothing but little rats.

He wouldn’t believe the wizard union would be able to do anything to them or the kingdom. All they did was let their fury out on some preachers when they were unaware.

“I’m depending on you!” Preacher Conner felt his heart lift a little and smiled.

However, just when he finished those words, he saw all the knights around him dropping to their knees.

Afterward, 2 hooded figures emerged from the dark.

“Not bad, kicking out the normal people saved me a lot of time!” Abel laughed.

His battle fort had targeted this castle, and he noticed more holy knights had gathered than the ones he came across before

He knew the Holy light Kingdom had noticed him and made their move.

But it was expected anyway. After all, he couldn’t kill everyone associated with the preacher.

He wasn’t someone who kill for no reason, especially civilians.

A few more knights basically meant nothing to him anyway.

“Who are you? Are you the one who killed the preachers?” Preacher Conner yelled.

His words were loud, but there was a slight tremble beneath them.

All the knights lost their control and couldn’t even lift their heads as soon as these 2 hooded wizards appeared. This power was not something he could comprehend.

A white flash of electricity shot out from his hand and twisted Preacher Conner’s head backward.

At that moment, a body flashed behind him with a flaming knight sword, striking Abel.

Abel did not dodge or stop his telekinesis. Crack* Preacher Conner’s neck snapped.

The knight’s ‘revenge’ combo attack was at full speed, but it was at that moment, a hand reached out and grabbed his sword.

Horror filled the knight’s eyes. He never saw anyone grab a knight by the sword, nothing even close.

“Interesting, another subject for research!” Abel smiled at his new prey.

That elite knight tried to pull his sword back, but he realized his power was nothing compared to that hand. It did not even budge a little.

He immediately let go and ignited a holy freeze. In the face of such horror, all he could do was slow his enemy down and run for the closest teleportation circle.

Suddenly, a powerful pressure gushed out from Abel and wrapped around the knight. His aura immediately faded.

Abel was very curious about this rank 19 knight. Just like the preacher, he could not form a faithful bond with him.

His crystal angel statue could not directly affect him, so maybe Lance continent had done something special to him.

A lot of big nobles could do something like this to protect important figures.

Abel scanned the knight with his power of the will and saw some clear scar of god.

Although a normal person could not tell, a person who granted followers many times knew exactly what it was.

He was pleased with his findings. This meant his 2000 knights would not be affected by the demon from beyond even if it reawakened. All it could do was to kill them.

This rank 19 knight was from the first batch of knights served under Emperor Harvey. This special ability was why he was sent here to unleash a life-taking blow in the most crucial moment.

“Right. Take care of it!” Abel was about to carry that rank 19 holy knight away but suddenly remembered the kneeling knights around him.

He snapped his fingers, and they all dropped dead helplessly.

Although that elite knight could not move, he clearly saw what happened, and he could not believe himself.

How could a being do something like this? Those knights were all more powerful than any wizards he came across.

The wizard union did not put up much of a faith during their first invasion, so he always thought the holy knights were the most powerful profession in the world, but this worldview was shattered instantly.

Abel nodded to Frankenstein and disappeared in a flash with the elite knight.

Frankenstein used telekinesis and retrieved the light gems of those dead holy knights. He then followed up with 10 meteoroid spells before flashing away as well, leaving a doomsday-like scenery for the patrolling knights and civilians to see.

10 giant meteoroids rained down from the sky and heavily struck upon that historical castle.

Frankenstein had mastered the law of fire. With the support of his rune word gears, he was more powerful than a rank 23 wizard.

Afterward, the castle exploded, and the whole place was swallowed up in flames.

Just like that, the soulless bodies of the holy knights were burned to ash.

Abel returned to his battle fort and saw another 100 souls in his crystal angel statue and a preacher guide. He was delighted with his gains.

He then turned to the elite knight he brought with him. He was not experienced in torturing, nor was he skilled at it.

“Tell me, where is Harvey?” He asked.

Just as expected, the knight kept his mouth shut despite being stunned out of his mind.

Abel thought of many torturing methods, some he heard about and some he saw on the television of his past life. But he soon gave up. He knew it was not likely that he could get anything out of a follower like this.

Although he didn’t know the location of Emperor Harvey , his druid soul might be able to do so by going through the prayers of those followers.

If he killed Emperor Harvey now, his followers would fall into chaos, then Abel would need to hunt them down one by one.

“Just get all the preachers first!” Abel thought to himself.

He no longer needed the elite knight. The last experiment was death.

A lightning strike flew out from Abel’s hand and burned the defenseless knight into crisp.

He saw a soul fly out from the blackened body. It was flying away, but there was no way his crystal angel statue would miss an opportunity like this.

Izual stopped praying and gently waved his hand to direct the soul into the crystal angel statue.

Abel scanned the soul with his power of the will, but there was no memory he could access.

Maybe his control over the crystal angel statue was still too low to do something like that.

He thought this elite knight would be special, considering god granted him, but the results were the same. He couldn’t get anything from it.

Instead, it just ended up like every other knight’s soul in the crystal angel statue.

All Abel could do was to put away the light gem and burn away the body. It was not a mad knight, after all. It wouldn’t do much to him.

At that moment, Frankenstein also returned with the gains.

Abel looked down from the battle fort and saw the burning castle. He shook his head. Those knights really were a bunch of pitiful bugs. They didn’t even know what their god was doing.

The battle fort flew above the constructing temple, and the valuables within were retrieved.

The battle fort headed towards its next target, leaving over a city in chaos. Abel knew the Holy light Kingdom knew about him, so he needed to speed up.
