Chapter 1442: Summoning

Translated by Jim

“Your Grace, what happened?” the five God Rank Knights quickly stormed in after they heard the Saint yelling.

“Knight Harrison has betrayed the Lord!” the Saint declared grimly. He almost didn’t believe what he was saying, but the reality was right in front of him!

“Knight Harrison betrayed the Lord?”

“Impossible, he is a loyal Holy Knight!” the God Rank Knights roared back. They all felt insulted as they gazed at the Saint, as though he was spreading misinformation.

The Saint unleashed his Power of the Will and let the knights see what was happening through the Guardian Wings perfectly.

“That’s Abel! He is a demon!” Knight Balmain couldn’t help but cry out.

Indeed, Knight Harrison really was standing quietly next to Abel, as though he was Abel’s servant!

It was very hard to believe how a God Rank knight could change his loyalty, especially since Knight Harrison had believed in the Demon from Beyond since he was a child. It was impossible for him to even imagine the possibility of other gods, and this fact had not changed for thousands of years.

Knight Balmain and his comrade were the ones who had attacked Abel at the Battlecry Plateau, but he was the only one who had come back alive.

All of a sudden, he felt some fear, something which was extremely rare for God Ranks.

At the same time, a sense of helplessness loomed over the other God Rank Knights.

He knew those five God Ranks on Abel’s side were not the only God Ranks around. There was also another one chasing after Knight Felix!

Even if they all made a move, they wouldn’t be able to win!

Soon, God Rank Five gave up chasing after Knight Felix and returned to Abel’s Monster Ring like the other Summons. Afterwards, Abel left the Guardian Wings’ energy shield.

A breath of relief emerged from the temple, but no one understood how Abel could penetrate the Guardian Wings so easily.

“What should we do?” Knight Balmain asked in a grim voice.

Everyone around wondered the same question, but since Abel had not made a move on the central temple, it meant he was not there to attack them. After all, no one could stop Abel with the number of God Ranks on his side!

The Saint turned away, saying helplessly, “Keep recalling the God Rank Knights!”

The Holy Kingdom still had some forces hidden, including two Rank 38 God Rank Knights who were still in seclusion, as they were the closest guards of the Demon from Beyond.

At first the Holy Kingdom was planning to Summon them only after the Demon from Beyond was resurrected, but it seems like they couldn’t wait any longer.

The Holy Kingdom soon got to work but the process of recalling all the God Rank Knights still took some time…

——

Meanwhile, Abel stepped out of the Guardian Wings’s territory, and the feeling that he was being monitored faded.

He didn’t know who was watching him, but it was to be expected since he was in the Demon from Beyond’s territory. A bit of Faith could go a long way!

He gazed around at the familiar shore. It seemed he wouldn’t be able to come here anymore.

Flashing, he appeared in the Fire Tooth and sped away.

His next target was the Wizard Union Headquarters, which would be where he left Thief God Milton next.

He found a place some distance from the Headquarters and let Thief God Milton out. His task was to monitor the Wizard Union from afar and wait for an opportunity.

It should only take a few days at most, because he expected the Holy Kingdom to make a move on the front line soon.

——

However, a week passed without any conflict, and the front line enjoyed a rare moment of peace.

Thief God Milton just could not make a move.

How could Abel ever have expected that what he had done so casually in the Holy Kingdom had drastically impacted their confidence. In fact, they were frightened!

After all, seeing another God Rank Knight helplessly change loyalty was the scariest thing they’d ever seen!

But after another ten days, two powerful energies suddenly emerged from the Holy Kingdom.

“Your Honors, God Rank Knight Epstein and God Rank Knight Marco!” the Saint bowed.

Their energy was huge, and the Saint still had not regained his authority, so he acted extra humble.

“So you are the Saint of this generation? You are the representative of the Lord and we are just Holy Knights. You don’t need to be this respectful to us, just give us your orders!” Knight Epstein bowed in return.

Knight Marco followed suit. The respect they showed him was much greater than any other God Rank Knights!

Knight Marco looked around in confusion and asked, “So why did you summon us? We are only Rank 39, and can still progress and fight a better war for the Lord!”

They were at a critical level, and being next to the Demon from Beyond’s light energy could help them level up. It was why they were his closest guards.

Although the Demon’s light energy was far superior to the holy energy they had mastered, spending long years studying it and carefully incorporating some of it into their Worlds could still help them level up.

Summoning them earlier meant that could no longer level up, so if the one who had summoned them had not been the Saint, they would have been furious!

“The Holy Kingdom is in chaos, we need you two to stabilize the situation!” The Saint’s face lit up after he realized the knights were now Rank 39.

He was especially happy since they were showing great respect to him, which meant he would have a chance of regaining his authority.

“What? We have the Guardian Wings as protection. As long as we don’t make a move, no one can harm us!” Knight Epstein was confused.

The Saint began to explain everything that had happened in detail and the two God Rank Knights’ faces sank.

The fall of God Rank knights, the loss of holy crystals, and the loss of holy equipment! This would be a huge disappointment to their Lord once it was resurrected!

Knight Epstein did not blame the Saint, instead he turned to the other six God Rank Knights. “Did you give up trying to take back the lord’s stolen Relics?”

“Honorable Epstein, Abel has too many God Ranks on his side, and we cannot get close to him. According to our information, he has at least ten God Ranks serving. Although we don’t know what relationship he has with them, he can Summon them at any moment!” Knight Balmain bowed.

“Monster!” Knight Epstein shook his head helplessly.

Rank 39 was extremely powerful, but he was not arrogant enough to pick on just anyone.

At that moment, a powerful energy struck the Guardian Wings’ energy shield and created a shock wave.

“What’s happening now?” Knight Marco demanded irritably.

“That’s the Wizard Union’s Howling Castle trying to drain our Faith reserves!” the Saint replied.

Knight Marco couldn’t hold it in any more as he roared, “The Wizard Union set up a castle right in front of us? Why didn’t you stop them!?”

He felt like the Holy Kingdom set up by their lord had lost all face because of these God Rank Knights.

Abel was an exception because he lived far away and was extremely powerful. A single wrong move could cost them their souls.

But that Howling Castle was right in front of them!

“We will listen to your commands!” the six God Rank knights bowed helplessly.

Indeed, the Howling Castle has been rebuilt under their noses and it could now stop a God Rank. Even after countless attacks, they could not get rid of it!

Knight Marco did not make a decision and asked, “Epstein, what do you think?”

“Let’s allow His Grace to give the order!” Knight Epstein bowed to the Saint.

The Saint felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at the embarrassment on the faces of the six God Rank knights.

“My knights, destroying the Howling Castle has always been on my mind. Please lead all the God Rank Knights to get rid of it!” the Saint bowed back to the two Rank 39 Knights.

“Yes, my Saint!” the Rank 39 Knights bowed back.

The other God Rank Knights were not looking good, but they still had to bow as well.

“Everyone,follow me!” Knight Epstein ordered grimly, and quickly headed towards the Teleportation Circle.

After all the God Rank Knights left, the Saint sat on his seat and rubbed the arms like it was his throne in deep satisfaction.

——

“I’m not sure how you are treating the Saint, but remember, the Saint is the mouth of our Lord, keep your respect!” Knight Epstein and the others had arrived at the edge of the Holy Kingdom and gazed at the Howling Castle up front.

“Mr Epstein, we didn’t mean to offend the Saint, but his commands just kept failing. A useless authority will be a disaster for the Holy Kingdom!” Knight Felix replied with a deep bow.

“You should all still show respect!” Knight Marco stated firmly.

Indeed, he knew three God Rank knights had died under the Saint’s command, and he was not happy about it, either. But still, he had shown the Saint respect!
