Chapter 1164: Chapter 109: No, This Doesn’t Seem Like an Act! (Part 2)

Kidding, that’s a cardinal of the Qianjin Church.

A true high-level leader within the Church, with a level of ability comparable to the mid-level officers of the Special Service Bureau. It might be a bit inferior, but not by much.

With two Colts in Alaini’s hands, they were used with the effect of a machine gun, and those arrogant foreign gun squads that rushed over just now instantly fell to the ground.

At this moment, the people on the ship finally couldn’t resist taking action.

A shadow, almost imperceptible to the naked eye in the darkness, shot across the sea surface, twisting its body towards Alaini.

In that instant, Wang Yunxiao faintly felt an itching sensation on his scalp.

This was Echo Erosion.

Because the mystery of that thing was beyond his scope of understanding, as soon as he noticed that existence, his brain was subjected to a mental erosion, like countless needles piercing through his cerebral cortex, from the forehead to the back of the neck…

“Apocalypse Sect.”

Yan Yu’an, who had been silently observing, suddenly spoke up: “This is the Divine Envoy under the Evil God they believe in, they call it the Dark Angel, while we usually refer to it as the Banshee.”

Han Bin was overjoyed: “Finally caught a big fish, shall we take action now?”

“Wait a bit longer.”

“Wait for what?!”

Over there, Alaini had also sensed the impending danger. Unlike Elena, who was mainly responsible for appearing at public social events, she was a genuine battle nun with exceptionally rich combat experience, particularly in dealing with these Western evil demons.

The moment her brain felt a strange stabbing pain, she withdrew the loaded revolver and, with a reverse grip, grabbed an iron rod from behind her, pulling it out with force, extending it over two meters.

It was a military flag.

Alaini thrust the military flag into the sand, the red flag with a white cross unfurling in the wind, illuminating the surrounding thirty-meter radius like daylight.

The shadow hidden in the night attempting a sneak attack let out a scream and fled inelegantly, emitting billows of black smoke.

“Hospital Knights…”

Yan Yu’an glanced at the military flag and deduced the nun’s background.

“No wonder Alaini’s name sounded so familiar; this cardinal is no small figure. She’s a descendant of the grandmaster of the Hospital Knights and used to serve as a Guardian Knight for the Roman Orthodoxy… though none of that is important. What’s important is that a few years ago, she was leading an armed uprising in France and almost succeeded. France still hasn’t withdrawn the warrant for her arrest.”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Alaini’s back unfold a pair of enormous golden wings, drawing the military flag to launch a monumental attack against the distant Dark Angel.

A massive beam of light swept across the sea’s surface, the scorching heat making it hard for Wang Yunxiao to keep his eyes open.

When the light subsided, he peeked again, only to see Alaini collapsing on the ground, the military flag broken in two, and the wings of light on her back scattering and flying away.

Wang Yunxiao: “???”

What just happened?

“What’s the situation?”

Before he could utter these words, he saw the Dark Angel roaring towards the flustered Elena.

One slash, piercing through the chest.

What the hell is this?

A cardinal! Two of them!

Couldn’t even last three seconds?

Wang Yunxiao and Han Bin looked at each other in bewilderment, faces full of question marks.

“The Dark Angel has a particularly disgusting ability.”

Yan Yu’an explained in a low voice: “It can drag enemies into a bizarre dark space on the spiritual level, where there is no concept of time. If one’s willpower is not firm, it’s hard to escape. From the outside, it looks like they’re losing consciousness for a moment, and it seizes the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and annihilate the enemy’s physical body in the Real World.”

In one word—a mechanism monster.

The two cardinals clearly triggered a mechanism kill, getting knocked out before showing their true abilities.

“Even so, isn’t it a bit too easy?”

The way they got knocked out was so straightforward and swift that Yan Yu’an couldn’t help but doubt if they were acting together.

But previously, there was no word about Church nuns enjoying acting, right?

“Doesn’t seem like acting.”

Not far away, Shen Qingxi, lying in a shell hole, whispered in Li Mumu’s ear.

“Seems like… they were just incompetent.”

“That’s not possible. They still had three mirrors even if they were incompetent.”

As soon as Li Mumu said this, they saw the shadow casually toss Elena’s body aside, grabbing the three mirrors and holding them high above its head.

Under the influence of some mysterious force, the blood from the corpses on the beach was squeezing out, flying towards those three mirrors.

“…”

Li Mumu turned to look at Xia Yubing, seeing for the first time such a complex and dazzling expression on Xia Yubing’s face.

“Something’s wrong!”

Xia Yubing murmured: “There’s something wrong with that monster. You guys cover me, I’m going to get those two idiots back.”

Something wrong? What could be wrong?

Although Li Mumu didn’t know what that thing was, he didn’t feel it was very powerful. Hearing Xia Yubing say this, he instinctively reached out along the Cause and Effect Line.

Just out of pure impulse.

Li Mumu himself knew that the Cause and Effect Line shouldn’t be touched lightly, just like an electrician touching a power line, no matter how insulated you are, it’s not a hundred percent safe. But it’s like having a cheat code; if you have it, can you refrain from using it?

So many times in the past nothing happened, which inevitably led to a complacent mindset. When Li Mumu reached out, he didn’t think much. It was too late when he realized something was off.

A cold gaze from the other end of the Cause and Effect Line met Li Mumu’s eyes.

Oh shit!

Li Mumu instinctively cursed, sitting up from the ground abruptly.

Clusters of blue-purple feathers rapidly sprouted from every pore on her skin.

Numerous low, hoarse voices murmured and echoed in her ears, the skin on her surface feeling like it was being cut into a thousand pieces, risking her sanity.

Meanwhile, the shadow fiddling with the three mirrors also noticed Li Mumu’s presence.

The next moment, time around her seemed to come to a standstill.

A kind of unspeakable power projected from beyond the heavens, piercing through her senses into her mind, rampantly rummaging through the memories and information within.

Past, present, future…

Li Mumu blankly stared at the smiling boy appearing before her.

Wang… who was he again?

His face became suddenly indistinct, impossible to recall.

Two streams of bloody tears silently flowed from the corners of her eyes.

The monster smirked, wrapping its arms around her shoulders from behind, its slender arm plunging into her body, clutching her heart.

Clenching tightly!

……

“Something big is going to happen!”

Far away, Huang Anshi, who had been secretly observing the commotion over here, began to sweat profusely the moment he saw the shadow, a strong sense of dread enveloping his heart. His last shred of sanity repeatedly warned him not to look at the information displayed in his notebook at this moment.

It wasn’t something he could handle.

Or rather, not something he could handle without paying the price at his current level of attainment.

But a gentleman knows when to act and when not to!

Thinking of the Liusheng Dojo group whose life and death were currently unknown, Huang Anshi stomped his foot hard, bit his tongue to clear his head, and recovered some clarity. He picked up a peach wood sword, took a deep breath, bitten its handle, broke its burning tip to chew and crush, then covered his ears with both hands, calling out with blood in his voice: “Divination Master of the Netherworld Emperor, come and slay the demon!”
