The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 160 Vampire Bloodline!
David held the Holy Book of Light in one hand and the Holy Sword of Light in the other.

The sword he swung out had the upper hand in the collision with Archbishop Silver Moon's Holy Light Sword!
The Holy Light Sword was unstoppable and defeated Archbishop Silver Moon's Holy Light Sword, and directly chopped his figure away!

"How can it be!"

Archbishop Silver Moon managed to keep his balance, his eyes filled with shock.

He could feel that he was completely at a disadvantage in the collision of physical strength!
Even the holy light power that enveloped him was cut off by the opponent's sword.

Be it speed or power.

The Frostwolf Duke is far superior to the ordinary sixth-level knight.

Moreover, the opponent can completely integrate the holy light and physical strength.

As the sword is slashed out, holy light follows!

This reminded him of the Sky Knight who only existed in legends!
Even if the Frostwolf Duke did not use any holy light power, his physical fitness alone had already exceeded the sixth level!
David will not give Archbishop Silver Moon a chance to breathe.

He pursued the enemy in victory, the Holy Book of Light in his hand shone brightly, and rays of holy light seemed to have life, entwining around his Holy Sword!

Although Archbishop Silver Moon was unwilling in his heart, he knew that if he fought head-on, he would not be able to defeat the opponent!
He quickly adjusted his tactics and began to cast various holy light spells, trying to use the flexibility of the spells to make up for the shortcomings of his physical qualities.

But David's extraordinary perception allowed him to accurately capture every move of Archbishop Silver Moon.

His Holy Light Sword seemed to have the ability to predict the future, and he was always able to break the attacks of Archbishop Silver Moon just right.

As the battle continued, Archbishop Silver Moon's holy light power began to gradually weaken, but David's holy light power became stronger due to the blessing of the Holy Book of Light.

The gap in strength between the two became more obvious at this moment.

Archbishop Silver Moon knew in his heart that if he continued like this, not only would he fail to take back the Holy Book of Light, he might even die here.

He decided to take a gamble and prepare to launch a last-ditch effort.

"Judgment of Holy Light!"

Archbishop Silver Moon roared, his body began to emit dazzling light, and the entire space shook because of his power.

David felt this power and knew that Archbishop Silver Moon was about to use forbidden techniques.

He did not dare to be careless, and immediately activated the Seed of Life and the Unity of Heaven and Man. The Holy Book of Light in his hand also emitted a dazzling light!

The power of the two reached its peak at this moment. The duel between holy light and holy light seemed to tear the whole world apart!

Finally, with a loud bang, the two people's power collided.

But what made Archbishop Silver Moon despair was that his holy light power was completely restrained by the Holy Book of Light.

No matter how powerful his Holy Light Judgment was, it seemed pale and powerless in front of the Holy Book of Light in David's hand.

The Holy Book of Light not only devoured the holy light power of Archbishop Silver Moon, but also transformed it into purer and more powerful energy and integrated it into David's Holy Light Sword!

The sword light suddenly increased, as dazzling as the sun!
David held the Holy Book of Light in his left hand and raised the sword high in his right hand, and the powerful holy light shot straight into the sky!

At this moment, everyone in Lion City saw this huge sword of holy light, and their eyes were filled with deep shock.

"kill him!"

"Kill him, kill Archbishop Silver Moon!"

"Archbishop Silver Moon is a traitor to the Holy Light, kill him!"

I don't know who shouted, but the entire Lion City suddenly burst into cheers.

Looking at this scene, all the Holy Light Knights in the field looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.

They also saw the roars and shouts of the civilians in Lion City, and instinctively thought that the Church of Holy Light should not do this.

But their trust in the archbishop made them choose to obey.

But now, their hearts were shaken and they suddenly became numb.

Could it be that the Archbishop was really wrong?

"kill him!"

At this moment, Saint Lucia also shouted.

In her heart, the teachings of the Church of Holy Light were not wrong; it was Archbishop Silver Moon who was wrong!
Obviously, the best outcome would be for the Frostwolf Duke, who holds the Holy Book of Light, to launch the Judgment of Holy Light against Archbishop Silvermoon!

Let this nightmare end!
"No, stop!"

The power of Archbishop Silver Moon was completely suppressed at this moment, and his figure seemed extremely fragile under the pressure of the Holy Light Sword.

Looking at the holy light of judgment condensing in the sky, despair appeared in his eyes.

"Die!"

David swung the Holy Light Sword down without hesitation!

Archbishop Silver Moon tried to resist, but his already weakened Holy Light Shield was easily torn apart like thin paper by David's sword!

Archbishop Silver Moon struggled to raise his head, his eyes full of disbelief.

He is a powerful priest of the Holy Light, an archbishop who holds a high position in the Holy See.

But today, he was defeated by the Duke of Frostwolf and suffered the judgment of Holy Light.

"Duke Frostwolf!"

"I don't know how you gained control of the Holy Scripture of Light."

"But the Holy Light Church will definitely take the Holy Scripture back from you!"

"Just wait for God's kingdom on earth to come!"

The final roar of Archbishop Silver Moon echoed in the air, and his body was swallowed by the holy light and merged into the Holy Book of Light.

David stood where he was, the Holy Light Sword in his hand slowly dissipating. He looked up at the sky, without any joy of victory in his heart, and a solemn expression on his face.

He knew that although the victory in this battle temporarily calmed the turmoil in Lion City, the threat from the Church of Holy Light had not disappeared.

Although the power of the Holy Book of Light is great, it also makes him a thorn in the side of the church.

However, he himself and the church are enemies.

With the Codex of Light in hand, he could attempt to change the Church of Light from within.

As long as he could change the teachings of the Church of Holy Light, he was confident that he could use the power of the Church of Holy Light to fight against the tide of demons.

Now that the demonic tide is approaching, he must master all the power he can.

David put away the Holy Book of Light and turned to walk towards Saint Lucia.

Lucia's eyes were complicated at this moment, showing curiosity and confusion, as well as gratitude and admiration.

Although I was curious about why Duke Frostwolf could control the power of Holy Light, fortunately this time Duke Frostwolf came to stop the fallen Archbishop Silvermoon.

Although she is a saint, she also has dissatisfaction and doubts about the church in her heart.

Especially after hearing the threat from Archbishop Silver Moon.

Since Duke Frostwolf has been recognized by the Holy Book of Light, he is naturally a member of the Holy Light.

The Holy Book of Light is the Pope's holy relic.

Since Duke Frostwolf has been recognized by the Holy Book of Light, he has also been recognized by the Pope.

"Thank you." Lucia said.

David nodded gently, his eyes falling on the other Holy Light Knights.

From the complex expressions on the faces of these Holy Light Knights, it could be seen that his killing of Archbishop Silver Moon did not arouse the hostility of these Holy Light Knights.

However, the death of Archbishop Silvermoon will definitely attract the attention of the entire Silvermoon Kingdom, and even the headquarters of the Church of Holy Light.

"It seems that we have to talk." David said to Lucia.

What happened today must be publicized.

With the entire Lion City's civilians as witnesses, it is easy to judge the truth of this matter.

And with the support of public opinion, Archbishop Silver Moon of the Church of Holy Light can be directly labeled as a fallen person.

Of course, there must be huge resistance.

Archbishop Silver Moon actually planned to sacrifice Lion City to summon the Holy Mountain. This was not a glorious thing for the Church of Holy Light.

If it were normal, the Church of Holy Light would definitely suppress the matter and downplay it internally.

But David would never do that. He would even take the initiative to step on it hard.

"it is good."

Lucia nodded.

The two walked towards the Holy Light Church together.

The conversation went surprisingly smoothly.

This allowed David to understand more about this saint who believed in the Holy Light.

With the death of Archbishop Silvermoon, Lion City returned to peace.

But the news of Archbishop Silvermoon's corruption and his killing by Duke Frostwolf continued to spread.

All the nobles and commoners of Lion City were participants.

For them, the fall of Archbishop Silvermoon was more acceptable than the fall of the Church of Holy Light.

However, some nobles noticed that the news did not mention that Duke Frostwolf had mastered the power of holy light.

They were puzzled by this, but no one expressed it.

Ordinary civilians paid no attention to this matter at all.

As the news continued to spread, gradually more and more people only paid attention to the content of the news itself.

Later, under David's intentional control, the news continued to spread to other parts of the Silver Moon Kingdom.

In an instant, the entire Silver Moon Kingdom was in an uproar.

No one expected that Archbishop Silvermoon would fall and be killed by Duke Frostwolf.

This caused the situation in the entire Silver Moon Kingdom to change dramatically again.

Nowadays, the Silver Moon Holy Light Church no longer has a sixth level.

The Archbishop of Silvermoon and the leader of the Knights of Holy Light are both dead. The decline of the Silvermoon Church of Holy Light is inevitable.

fortunately.

The saint returned to the Silver Moon Holy Light Church shortly afterwards.

This stabilized the Silver Moon Holy Light Church, which had fallen into some chaos.

Silver Moon Capital.

Bronco's temper became more and more violent, and he felt strongly threatened.

Originally, he could rely on the Silvermoon Church of Holy Light to stop the attack of Duke Frostwolf.

But now, even Archbishop Silvermoon was killed by Duke Frostwolf, and he felt that he would most likely be the next one.

The Duke of Frostwolf first conquered the Duke of the West.

Now he has killed the Silver Moon Holy Light Archbishop and is approaching the imperial capital step by step.

Of course, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

If Duke Frostwolf really dares to attack the Silvermoon Palace, he will definitely make him pay the price!
East Border, Lion City.

David breathed a sigh of relief after he had dealt with everything.

Although there were many unexpected events this time, the gains were also huge.

The biggest gain was naturally the Holy Book of Light.

The Holy Book of Light became even stronger after absorbing the power of Archbishop Silver Moon.

The energy contained in it allows any sixth-level priest to directly unleash the power of the seventh level!

This is also the main reason why Archbishop Silver Moon is willing to sacrifice Lion City in order to obtain the Holy Book of Light!
If he can conquer the saint, he may be able to use the Holy Book of Light to help her break through in the future.

Unfortunately, the saint hurried back to the Silver Moon Holy Light Church, otherwise he really wanted to continue his attack on the saint.

Now that he has obtained the Holy Book of Light, he can clearly feel the change in the Saint's mentality.

At the same time, killing Archbishop Silver Moon was also a huge gain for him.

If he could get the cooperation of the Saint, his chances of controlling the Silver Moon Holy Light Church would become even greater.

In addition to the Holy Book of Light, he also collected a large wave of sacrificial energy when he stopped the Holy Light Sacrifice.

All of this sacrificial energies were just given to Sura to absorb, which might help Sura successfully break through to the fifth level!

The final reward, of course, is the Blood Queen.

The Blood Queen's own strength is already infinitely close to level seven.

If you make use of the power of the sea of ​​blood, you can directly possess the strength of the seventh level!

Of course, the most important thing is that the Blood Queen is a female vampire who can help him practice.

Now in the room of the castle.

The Blood Queen sat at the table with a stern face and a very calm expression.

When she saw David come in, she showed no expression.

She has her own pride and is unwilling to compromise even in this situation.

"From now on, I will be the king of vampires."

"And you will be my vampire princess."

David's eyes swept over the hot Blood Queen.

Compared to other young witches, the Blood Queen does have a different charm.

The Blood Queen no longer had any expression on her face.

She originally thought that she would become the king of vampires after waking up.

But she never expected that the vampire in front of her actually possessed purer vampire blood and was much stronger than her.

She didn't have much aversion to the vampire king in front of her, but she just couldn't accept her own failure.

Seeing that the Blood Queen didn't move, David took the initiative to walk forward, picked her up, and walked towards the bed.

Since the Blood Queen didn't refuse, he naturally wouldn't stop.

The Blood Queen lay on the bed with her head turned to one side, her face still expressionless.

David couldn't help but lick his lips and reached out and pulled hard.

Throwing the torn clothes in his hand aside, he took off his own clothes and approached him.

The Blood Queen's body stiffened, and then she felt a sudden sharp pain, which she endured.

Seeing this, David slowed down.

Although the Blood Queen's strength has reached the quasi-seventh level, all women seem to be the same in this respect.

"I'm going to start."

After the Blood Queen calmed down, David put her long beautiful legs on his shoulders and started practicing directly.

David was firing on all cylinders throughout the entire process.

This made the Blood Queen frown from beginning to end.

It was not until the end of a round of practice that her frown eased a little.

[You have completed a training, vampire blood +3685]

David exhaled slightly, glanced at the system prompt, and was stunned.

The Blood Queen is indeed a quasi-seventh-level strongman. The effect of this round of training is truly terrifying.

Moreover, this is the case when the Blood Queen does not have deep feelings for him, otherwise it would definitely exceed five thousand!
David suddenly became excited.

He glanced at the Blood Queen who was lying motionless and turned her over.

"What do you want to do?"

After the Blood Queen lay down, her expression suddenly changed.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sense of fulfillment.

David didn't have time to answer. He suppressed the Blood Queen who wanted to stand up and continued to practice.

The Blood Queen supported her body with her hands, only to feel her body going weak and she had no ability to resist.

She could only grit her teeth and endure it, with a look of humiliation on her face.

David, however, became more and more courageous as the battle went on. The thought that this was a queen continued to stimulate him.

In this way, he changed several postures in succession, and the Blood Queen had no right to refuse him.

Time passed little by little. The physical strength of both of them was indeed too strong.

The battle lasted from night to day. Only when the sun was high in the sky did David stop practicing with a very satisfied expression.

After a day of training, his vampire bloodline was successfully upgraded to the fifth level, and he was not far from breaking through to the sixth level.

This speed was already terrifying. Even Princess Irene's silver dragon bloodline had only just reached the sixth level.

I believe that at this speed of cultivation, the vampire bloodline will soon be upgraded to the seventh or even eighth level, and there will be a chance to impact the strongest ninth level bloodline!
"Dora, thank you for your hard work."

David stroked the Blood Queen's blood-red hair.

The Blood Queen was exhausted at this time. She felt relieved after hearing his words and nodded expressionlessly.

When David opened the door, the fifth-level vampire Manro was waiting at the door. When he saw him come out, he immediately saluted.

David reached out and touched the plump body of the female vampire, and asked her to go in first to serve the Blood Queen. This fifth-level vampire was, to some extent, the Blood Queen's subordinate, so it was very appropriate for her to serve the Blood Queen at this time.

The Blood Queen lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.

A look of confusion appeared on her face. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the vampire blood in her body had become much stronger!

Is it because of your majesty’s pure bloodline?

The Blood Queen thought to herself, and suddenly became agitated.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and began to practice.

Originally, she was only one step away from breaking through to the seventh level. Feeling the strengthening of her blood, she suddenly had a feeling that this was an opportunity for her to break through!
She immediately became restless.

at night.

When His Majesty came to the room again, she did not refuse.

This sudden change surprised David.

However, it would be great if the Blood Queen could figure it out.

After completing a training session, the 4,000 points of vampire blood experience provided represented that the Blood Queen's attitude had indeed changed greatly.

The two of them each achieved what they needed and began to practice intensely.

In this way, more than ten days passed.

The two of them have been practicing intensively.

His vampire bloodline also reached the standard for breaking through to the seventh level.

After absorbing a large amount of life energy and feedback from the system, the Blood Queen also reached the spiritual realm point of breakthrough.

Afterwards, David took the Blood Queen directly back to the Blood Sea Space.

After saying goodbye to David, the Blood Queen fell into a deep sleep again. When she woke up next time, she would definitely be able to successfully break through to the seventh level.

David found a place and began to break through his vampire bloodline.

As a surge of energy flowed into his body, his blood began to boil.

An unprecedented force surged in his body, as if every drop of blood was filled with vitality, and as the breakthrough progressed, his body began to undergo subtle changes, and his physical strength was enhanced again.

[Vampire Bloodline: Level 12 (1000000/), Obtained Bloodline Talent: Extraordinary Physique]

As the system prompt sounded, the vampire bloodline breakthrough was completed.

"Extraordinary physique?" David murmured.

Vampire blood benefits the body in all aspects, but its strongest point is indeed recovery ability, which can even regenerate severed limbs!

After acquiring the extraordinary physique, he has successfully obtained extraordinary strength, extraordinary speed, extraordinary soul, extraordinary perception and extraordinary physique in the six dimensions of physical fitness. The only thing left is the last one, extraordinary defense!

David stayed in the Blood Sea Space for a while, and took all the vampires to guard the entrance of the Blood Sea Space, and then he returned to Lion City.

This time he brought Hill, Annie, Sura and Lily to Lion City. Annie successfully completed the breakthrough with the help of the blood contract, and he also successfully condensed the soul of the contract and successfully completed the goal of this trip.

Sura is absorbing the sacrificial energy generated by the Holy Light Sacrifice, and has great hope of successfully breaking through to the fifth level.

Lily also gained a lot from studying the air power of the Blood Sea Space.

Hill also gained a lot after studying the background of the Mountain Rock Lion family. Of course, it is not so easy to achieve a breakthrough.

However, he plans to attack the Shiling Kingdom next, which will be Hill's opportunity to achieve a breakthrough.

In order to better digest what they had gained, the witches had already returned to the wizard's castle.

David stayed and accompanied Luen for a few days.

After such a long period of practice, coupled with various resources and system feedback, Luen's strength has reached the second level, and he is trying to break through to the third level.

Knowing that the Duke stayed to accompany her, Luen was naturally very touched, and let David do whatever he wanted that night.

David also made some arrangements. He was going to attack the Stone Ridge Kingdom next, and the nobles in the East Territory would definitely be the main force next time.

It is worth mentioning that these nobles in the East Territory somehow found out about his preferences, and several of them sent their daughters over.

David also took this opportunity to collect several new bloodlines, which completed the life level of the life seed and made the life seed more complete.

……

In this way, time passed little by little.

David also returned to Frostwolf Ridge through the teleportation array.

The witches' strength is progressing in an orderly manner.

On the other side of the elemental barrier, as time passed, some damage appeared on the elemental barrier again.

Fortunately, there is a mist seal barrier that can prevent the invasion of the demonic tide.

But David knew that he didn't have much time left.

He must collect the four elemental talents of Feng, Shui, Earth and Fire as soon as possible, and increase the strength of the elemental talents as soon as possible to strengthen the power of ether.

As long as he can master the high-intensity power of ether, he will have the hope of successfully repairing the Four Elements Barrier, or even completely controlling the Four Elements Barrier!

As for the witch, she has begun to spread the news that the Crystal Song Kingdom is recruiting wizards to fight against the magic tide, and has taken the initiative to expose the existence of the wizard castle.

Of course, all of this was released in the name of the Crystal Song Kingdom, which itself did need to borrow the power of wizards to fight against the demonic tide.

Moreover, the church power of the Jingge Kingdom is not strong, and there is not even a sixth-level strongman. It is really too easy to suppress the church power.

The Silver Moon Holy Light Church also suffered heavy damage and could no longer control the Crystal Song Kingdom.

This is definitely a great opportunity to call upon the surrounding wizards to come forward!

In addition, this is also a test of the Saint by David. If the Holy Light accepts the decision of the Crystal Song Kingdom to borrow wizards to fight against the magic tide, then he can step by step change the teachings of the Holy Light Church and no longer be an enemy of wizards!

This was indeed a great opportunity to summon wizards, but the dark followers of the dark sects seemed to smell something different and began to take action.

Perhaps knowing that the East, West, and North were all his territories, the dark cultists appeared in the most chaotic South this time.

David has received news that several Holy Light Churches in the South were attacked by dark cultists, and that the dark cult will make big moves in the future.

During this time, the Duke of the South Territory seemed to have secretly returned to the South Territory, intending to take the South back from Blanco.

Under his command, the Duke of the Western Territory began to attack the Southern Territory, but was hindered by various secret forces and his progress was not fast.

Now with the addition of the Dark Sect, the entire southern region is truly in chaos.

However, with his current strength, if he is careful, he shouldn't be in too much danger in the southern border. The only thing he needs to pay attention to is whether the dark cultists will frantically summon some terrifying devils or demons.

"It's time to go to the Southern Territory," he thought to himself.

In addition to looking for a wizard, David also asked Huo Wu and Shui Lian to continue learning fire and water magic, and he also had hope for the two maids.

The possible inheritance of fire wizards in the Flame Fortress was something he was determined to obtain, and this time he took advantage of the chaos to explore it.

After making the decision, he began to plan secretly.

As long as he successfully stabilizes the Four Elements Barrier, he can leave the Misty Forest for a while and just need to use the teleportation array to stay in touch.

As time passed, the Four Elements Barrier stabilized again.

At the same time, not long ago, Sura, the barbarian high priest, successfully increased his strength to the fifth level by absorbing the sacrificial energy.

David immediately decided to practice with Sura to improve his sacrificial talent to the perfect level and condense the soul of sacrifice.

What those dark cultists are best at is performing sacrifices through various rituals to summon those terrifying devils and demons.

And through the soul of sacrifice, it will definitely be possible to restrain and block those sacrificial rituals, cut off the path of sacrifice, and prevent the arrival of monsters and demons!

inside the room.

Sura's face was very soft.

David sat in a chair and the two men faced each other.

Sura's body moved slightly, up and down.

This is one of David's favorite positions and the action is the most intense.

[You complete a training, sacrifice talent +1356]

With the end of a training session, he successfully gained a lot of experience points.

At this rate, it wouldn't take long for him to raise his sacrificial talent to the standard of a breakthrough, thereby successfully condensing the heart of sacrifice.

Another period of time passed.

News from the southern border continued to arrive through messenger pets.

Annie has now broken through to the fifth level, and the communication of her messenger pet can already cover the southern border, so all the information is collected by her.

According to the latest news, the dark cultists are indeed performing some rituals in secret, and all the dark cultists are gathering towards the Fire Fortress.

Not only did they get the news, but Saint Lucia also got the news and sent an envoy to ask for help from Duke Frostwolf.

The Silver Moon Holy Light Church is too weak nowadays and it is impossible to stop the threat of the Dark Sect. The only one she can count on is the Duke.

"It seems I have to go there." David thought.

Then he looked at the experience bar of the Sacrifice Talent and walked towards the room.

After another day of practice, his sacrificial talent successfully reached the breakthrough requirements. He started the breakthrough on the spot, and the spiritual power of his spiritual world surged.

As his sacrificial talent broke through, strange energy fluctuations began to appear around his body, as if the entire space was shaking with his breakthrough.

Suddenly, a storm broke out in his spiritual world.

The originally calm mental energy seemed to be stirred by an invisible force and began to spin wildly.

This power comes from the perfection of his sacrificial talent, and is the energy he has accumulated through countless training and battles.

His consciousness sank into the spiritual world, feeling the surge of this power. He took a deep breath and completely immersed his mind in the surge of this power, guiding them to run along a specific trajectory.

With his guidance, the spiritual power in the spiritual world gradually gathered into a vortex, which grew bigger and stronger, until finally, a dazzling light burst out from it, illuminating the entire spiritual world.

Under the illumination of this light, his spiritual world began to undergo earth-shaking changes, and a new innate ability gradually took shape in his spiritual world.

[Sacrificial Talent: Perfection (245/10000000), Obtained Talent Ability: Sacrificial Soul]

As the system upgrade sounded, the sacrificial talent successfully broke through.

The soul of sacrifice condensed out, which was the crystallization of his perfected sacrificial talent. It was not only a kind of power, but also a sublimation of the soul.

He felt the power of the sacrificial soul and discovered that the sacrificial soul gave him a deeper level of sacrificial ability. He could sacrifice part of his soul in exchange for powerful power or special abilities.

When he woke up from the spiritual world, his eyes became deeper, and then he felt a strange power deep in his soul, which allowed him to better control his sacrificial ability.

As his understanding of the sacrificial soul deepened, his strength and ability once again made a qualitative leap.

He began to try various experiments using the sacrificial soul to explore its limits and possibilities.

Through the sacrifice of the soul, he can also sacrifice part of his own soul or other blood and innate energy in exchange for powerful strength or special abilities, and may even be able to communicate with heaven and earth and obtain the blessing of heaven!

His talent for sacrifice is no longer just a simple sacrifice of power, but he can sacrifice any energy and turn it into a part of his own power, thus exerting a variety of different effects.

The sacrificial soul can even use the target he wants to sacrifice to make the sacrifice appear in his mind!

This precise guidance made him more adept at sacrifices, and every sacrifice achieved the best results.

And it was not just a sacrifice, he felt that his own sacrificial soul could actually accept the sacrifice of the sacrificer and give feedback through spiritual connection!

This is somewhat similar to the power that only gods and demons can possess, and he can actually master this power early through the sacrifice of souls!

This two-way communication gave him more help in his cultivation.

He could use this to begin building his own sacrificial network and establish spiritual connections with those who were willing to make sacrifices for him.

They gain the power or ability they need through sacrifice, while he increases his strength and influence through feedback.

He might even be able to use it to gather the power of faith and prepare for his next exploration of the power of the gods. He might even use it to embark on the path of becoming a god!
However, now is not the time to do this.

He carefully felt his own strength. After bidding farewell to his ladies, David took a detour from the western border to the southern border, intending to check the specific situation.

……

The Silver Moon Capital and the cities on the southern border.

David met the saint with a tired face in the Holy Light Church.

"Your Excellency the Duke, I have to ask for your help again this time," she said.

David nodded. "Tell me what's going on. I will definitely help you if I can."

His eyes were burning, and he did not hide his concern and love.

Lucia lowered her head uncomfortably and nodded, "Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke." Then she repeated the news she had received.

The main force operating in the southern border this time is the Burning Sect within the Dark Sect. They believe in the Burning Demon, control the evil demonic flames, and can summon the Burning Demon to this world through sacrificial rituals.

"The Burning Sect?" David narrowed his eyes.

The name sounded like it was related to fire, and he felt that the Burning Sect must have come here for the fire barrier and the inheritance of those fire wizards.

In this case, no matter what the reason, he must stop the actions of the Burning Sect and kill these Burning Sect members.

After getting more accurate information, David and Lucia led a team of Holy Light Knights to the Fire Fortress.

This once prosperous city has now become desolate, and a large number of civilians have already left the fortress and gone to the neighboring kingdom.

Although the smoke has dissipated now, the air is still filled with a faint smell of anxiety.

The fortress was surrounded by a charred land, which was the trace of the raging fire, and there were still mottled marks on the walls.

David and Lucia stood in front of the fortress, looking over the ruined fortifications and collapsed towers.

The once towering city walls are now covered with cracks, and some places have even collapsed, revealing their internal structures.

The fortress gate was in ruins. The iron sheet on the half-open gate was twisted and deformed, with several arrows stuck on it. The door hinges were rusted due to long-term corrosion and the impact of battle.

Entering the fortress, David saw more signs of fighting.

Fragments of weapons and armor were scattered on the ground, and there were a few uncleaned bones in the corners of the wall. Their owners might have been warriors who fought bravely here until the last moment.

On the walls, the torches had gone out, leaving only black traces of smoke, which intertwined with those traces licked by flames to form a strange pattern.

"This is the symbol of the Burning Cult!"

David's eyes narrowed. It seemed that all this was the work of the Burning Sect.

When he felt that the messenger pet had lost contact, he knew that something must have happened to the Flame Fortress. He didn't expect it to be more serious than he imagined.

When they arrived at the central square of the fortress, they found a huge furnace.

Around the furnace stood a large number of believers wearing red robes with burning sect symbols on their bodies, performing some kind of ritual.

David's heart moved, and through the sacrificial soul, a huge body of a burning demon emerged in his mind.

Apparently these believers are performing a sacrificial ritual, intending to summon the burning demons in hell to the world!
Suddenly, the believers began the ceremony. Their movements were in unison, and they chanted ancient spells. The torches in their hands danced in the darkness, illuminating the fanatical faces.

In the center of them, a huge magic circle was drawn on the ground, emitting a dim light.

David knew that once this ritual was completed, the burning demons of Hell would be summoned to the world, bringing destruction and disaster.

He concentrated his mind and, through the power of the sacrificial soul, began to establish a connection with the demon that was about to be summoned.

In his mind, the huge body of a burning demon began to emerge.

Its body was covered in flames, its eyes flashed with evil light, and an aura of darkness surrounded it.

David felt its power and its desire—the desire to enter the world, to destroy and conquer.

"As expected of a Burning Demon, he is indeed very powerful!"

David felt that the strength of this burning demon was level seven, and his expression became solemn.

Using the power of the sacrificial souls, he began to absorb the sacrificial power, trying to stop the coming of the burning demon.

But at this time, the Burning Demon had absorbed too much sacrificial power, and a considerable part of its consciousness had descended!
While he was mobilizing his sacrificial soul, he was also mobilizing his mental power.

He was able to determine that this sacrifice was essentially a summoning ritual.

Summoning and controlling summoned creatures is a power that summoners must master.

It’s just that these summoners are too weak and are completely unable to command the summoned devils and demons.

But David can greatly enhance the effects of sacrifice and contract through the soul of sacrifice and the soul of contract, thereby controlling the burning demon!
(End of this chapter)
