At that point of time, on a mountain far from the Freemasons’ Association, Nasura—the great ice mage—was leaning on the tree trunk next to him. He was taken aback by the massive demon towering over the castle in the distance. Before he could express his emotion, there was a faint sound of footsteps behind him. He closed his eyes and readied his wand. Nasura was about to cast an ice mist spell as soon as he turned around. But then, he saw Adele. Adele had disappeared halfway through the journey. She was now standing behind him, in a dazed state.
Nasura exhaled and frowned. He immediately inquired, "Adele, where did you go?"
Nasura noticed that her complexion was off. Moreover, her hands were covered with blood. Nasura's stern expression softened. He took a step forward. Gently and carefully, he said, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen? Don't worry, we both are in the same boat now. If you have any difficulties, please let me know."
These words pulled Adele out of her trance. She looked at Nasura who was smiling softly despite his confusion. Her once powerful and determined eyes were long gone. Tears flowed like a torrent of infinite declaration. She threw herself into Nasura's arms, wailing and crying bitterly.
Nasura stared blankly at Adele in his arms. The burst of her intoxicating body fragrance coupled with her soft body made him feel a little troubled. After a while, Nasura was about to comfort her when Adele pushed him away. In embarrassment, she looked at the trace her tears had left on his chest. Her pretty face flushed red.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll just wash it." Nasura hurriedly comforted her. In fact, he wished Adele would always be this way to him.
"Nasura, I just murdered my teacher and severed his head! I still remember him being so determined to ask me to kill him. I really couldn't save him at that time." Adele surprisingly opened the door of her heart and spoke the words in her heart.
"It's okay, everything is okay. I'm still here with you." Nasura fell silent for a moment before stepping forward and hugging Adele in his arms. Although Adele struggled a little at first, he could feel her whole body softened not long after Leaning into his arms like a kitten….
At the same time, after Morris shouted his command, all of the executive officers were slightly taken aback before wearing a resolute expression. When the executive officers saw that the great demon's huge flaming giant sword was about to strike down and kill everyone, they fell to their knees in unison, quickly took the daggers from their waist, and stabbed it at the back of their left hand. It was a chilling moment!
Blood spurted from the palms of hundreds of people, splashing everywhere. However, they didn't show the slightest pain. Instead, they crossed their bloodied hands across their chests and gazed up at the unpredictable sky above them.
"Great God Enos! Bring down the scepter of punishment and wash away the filthy evil! We, with our blood as a medium, are willing to sacrifice our lives and return to the embrace of God!"
As soon as they finished chanting, the huge lava sword in the great demon's hand smashed down fiercely. Followed with the sound of wind and thunder. With a bang, it hit the shield. Surprisingly, the shield succeeded in deflecting the terrifying giant sword. However, the light shield was overwhelmed and shattered in return.
"Hm? Enos' lackeys still have some tricks on their sleeves!" The great demon looked at the giant sword that bounced off his hand. It smiled and stared at the frightened executives below. Finally, it raised the giant sword once more to dispose of these ants in one blow. At such a critical moment, the executives looked at each other with a relieved smile on their faces and shouted in unison, "Amen!"
Rumble! There was a thunderclap in the sky. The gigantic demon was about to slash down when it suddenly froze. He raised his massive and ferocious head, but was horrified to see that the sky, which had previously been clear, was now obscured by dark clouds. Lightning bolts slithered through the dark clouds like large snakes. Wow!
A crack suddenly appeared on the clouds above its head. It opened like the eyes of a human, revealing the bright sunshine behind the clouds. Like a miracle, the buildings of this Freemasons’ Association’s branch were dark as they were shrouded in dark clouds. But then sacred light streamed from the huge hole that appeared in the middle of the clouds. It was truly a breathtaking sight!
In a trance, the great demon looked up at the hole above its head. It seemed to hear the prayers and pious singing of countless people that were coming endlessly from the hole. Morris and the others looked at this scene, their eyes were filled with tears as they clasped their hands together. Praying in a low voice devoutly.
All people within a radius of ten miles—including hunters, merchants, and mercenaries—opened their mouths and watched this scene in shock. What a miraculous scene! Right now, it didn’t matter whether you have faith or not. Those who had a good impression of Enos and the Holy See all fell to their knees devoutly, cried until their clothes wet with tears, and chanted unfamiliar scriptures excitedly while confessing their sins.
The scene astounded Adele and Nasura as well. She was about to kneel unconsciously when Nasura pulled her up. He, too, was barely hanging on. With a solemn expression, he said "Do. Not. Kneel. to. God!"
In response, Adele looked at him with her serious and bright eyes.
The Great Demon Uruses’ huge crimson eyes showed unprecedented fear. With a trembling voice, it couldn't help but murmur, "Enos, Enos!"
Others couldn't see it, but he, the great demon, could vaguely see it. There appeared to be a pair of cold, white, and bright eyes without the slightest emotion looking at all this with contempt from the hole in the sky. The great demon started to retreat. It could clearly feel the Lord God's unrivaled power. The feeling was the same as in the abyss. The feeling coming from the altar of Belial, the God of Darkness.
There was no chance of either victory or survival. The great demon was about to spread its massive wings in order to flee when a pure white thunder as wide as a tower instantly struck down from the hole in the sky. Hitting straight into the great demon’s body.
"Oooh ah ah ah!"
The flames on its body had been extinguished while the scales all over its body had been blown to smithereens. Thick black smoke emanated from its body.
"No! Enos, you can't do this!" The great demon wailed in despair. It fell on his knees as its body began to fade away rapidly. It certainly wouldn't be long before not even ashes were left of this powerful great demon.
Unfortunately, the great demon's luck was even better than it thought. The executive officers, who kept on chanting, suddenly began to tremble all over. The blood on their hands instantly evaporated. Their bodies shriveled up like a balloon. Not even having a chance to scream before they went as limp as a piece of paper, dead as one could be.
The chanting stopped. The desperate great demon noticed that pair of indifferent eyes in the hole slowly closing. In an instant, the thunder vanished, the dark clouds dispersed, and the hole also closed. There were no traces left of the previous miracle that happened between heaven and earth. If it weren't for the floor cracked by the thunder, it might as well have been a dream.
"No.... NO! Oh Enos! Have thou abandoned your followers?!" Morris wept out in reluctance to the sky.
The great demon—who had survived the divine lightning—had no desire for vengeance. It was desperate to survive. With a laugh, it spread open its broken wings. Gathering a storm of encouragement for itself, it desperately flew towards the mountain range that had previously burst into black light. After a while, it was nowhere to be seen.
