Chapter 544: Chapter 380: Sin Arena (Two in One) Part 2 Chapter 544: Chapter 380: Sin Arena (Two in One) Part 2 Guided by divination, he quickly found the ritual array and the statue of Lady Rose drenched in fresh blood in the secret door of the prayer room. Beneath the statue’s feet, he obtained half a cup of Sin Blood.
‘The people of the Red Apple Church, merciless to outsiders and equally ruthless to their own… Are they preaching the concept that all are sinful, huh…’
Chen Lun sneered to himself.
All this was merely out of the Rose Royal Family’s desires, even stirring up an unwarranted war to satisfy the interests of those in high positions… Essentially, it was to accumulate sufficient numbers of deaths, indiscriminate of friend or foe, just to fulfill the ritual.
From the information obtained, one purpose was to resurrect the former Pope Doromi Purness… and the other purposes, analyzed through corroborating past memories, were mostly to please Lady Rose or some Flesh Pathway Angel, to invoke a miracle.
Perhaps the outcome of the war was not important.
What mattered was whether it was possible to drag the Empire into this quagmire, allowing the Beelzebub Kingdom to reap the benefits.
When several teams from the Red Rose Squad arrived to provide support, they only saw devastation and the ground strewn with dismembered bodies.
“Lord Lafa, we did not find any trace of the enemy.”
Several red-robed priests reported back to a red-haired man in the ruins-like clearing.
“Bishop Saleiman, Priest Shul and Priest Tobert and twenty-one Monks have all perished, no exceptions… Furthermore, the Sin Blood from this branch Church has been taken by the enemy.”
A faint smile appeared on His face.
“Jack, is this your revenge? It seems Bales told you everything before he died… But that’s alright, since you have come here, I can also conveniently retrieve Bales’s leftovers.”
Lafa had originally planned an ambush for Bales, even employing the Church’s [Grade A Mysterious Object – Sin Arena] to trap and kill him. However, Bales, daring and resolute, chose to “suicide” when he realized he could not alter his situation, allowing his Spirituality to escape the arena.
This ultimately thwarted Lafa’s plan to seize the high attributes of the Moon.
Now Jack had abandoned the battlefield in Rock State and entered here alone, clearly for the sake of Bales’s death. In Lafa’s view, Jack was blinded by hatred.
But for Him, this was an excellent opportunity…
Not only could He settle both new and old scores, but He could also retrieve the high attributes of the Moon.
The feeling of regaining what was lost was extremely pleasing to Him.
At that moment, a subordinate’s hand trembled violently with the Golden Goblet; he immediately listened intently, his complexion greatly changing.
“Lord Lafa! The Church’s branch in Jianpo City has been attacked again… The enemy is still that Jack, alone!”
“You all handle the aftermath here, I will personally make the trip.”
The subordinates bowed and said.
At the same time, they thought to themselves, this accursed Jack, time and again provoking the Church… Now he has angered Lord Lafa, and with His presence personally intervening, this man will surely be brutally killed on the spot!
However, by the time Lafa reached Jianpo City, Chen Lun had already left, leaving only ruins and bodies behind.
After entering the “Pale Knight” form, Chen Lun went all out, the Red Apple Church’s high Combat Power was nothing in front of him. Each battle didn’t last more than ten minutes, descending, killing, seizing the Sin Blood, and then immediately using Cloud Leap to head to the next city, never lingering in battle.
In just a few hours, Chen Lun had successively destroyed five city branches of the Red Apple Church. Lafa, following close behind, grew increasingly murderous.
And what Chen Lun felt intuitively was the warning from his Spiritual Intuition growing stronger and stronger.
It was as if a great disaster was imminent.
But he didn’t care about it. Instead, he used this as confirmation of Lafa’s arrival, quietly letting out a sigh of relief… The plan was proceeding just as hypothesized, smoothly unfolding.
After another intense slaughter.
Chen Lun sat atop the collapsed ruins of the church, gasping rapidly.
The surroundings were a mess, limbs and blood scattered everywhere, with fires still burning in many places. The Silver Sword had reverted to its cane form, casually placed beside him.
He had already exited the “Pale Knight” form, unable to continue.
In a rush to save time, Chen Lun continually overexerted himself in transformations. Although this allowed him to overwhelmingly sweep through several cities, it also left him extremely exhausted physically and mentally. After consuming a great deal of Physical Strength and Sanity Value, intense pain in his head, accompanied by dizziness and ringing in his ears, made him nauseous.
‘This is just a trivial price within the plan…’
Chen Lun coughed up a pool of blood, his expression ice-cold.
Suddenly noticing something, he turned his head slowly.
He saw a faceless servant suddenly emerge from the air, bowing respectfully towards him and promptly handing over a letter from a tray.
“Governor Jack, this is a private letter from Lord Mulenga… He commanded me to inform you, you have now entered ‘Gem State Four’ battle zone, which is under the supervision of Lord Houston… This might upset Lord Houston.”
Chen Lun took the letter.
After tipping, he opened the envelope and began reading.
Mulenga did not question why Chen Lun would venture into His battle zone and carry out a series of “deep destructions,” rather, He expressed gratitude…
