Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 452 Holy War

Dealing with heretics like Emlyn was the easiest job for the Red Gloves; the real challenge was the "jihad" itself.

That was a war that began with the true God and spread to the entire church and even believers.

The Church of War and the Church of Night had deep-seated conflicts over thousands of years, and this was simply a matter of settling scores with them.

Fortunately, Klein didn't need to actually throw himself into that meat grinder-like battlefield. With his angelic combat power, he had already been assigned by the "Hidden Angels" to key positions to oversee the battle.

"This is just the beginning..." Klein looked at the flames in the distance accompanied by the booming sound of cannons, knowing that the war between ordinary people and armies had begun.

In extraordinary wars where high-ranking officers are not involved, the formidable power of artillery cannot be ignored.

On the other hand, Backlund's latest artillery, accompanied by the power of "mystic weakening and reality enhancement," is even more powerful, making it difficult for even true demigods to resist.

One after another, shells trailing crimson, dark blue, and silvery-white light roared toward the Fusak Empire's positions.

Just as they were getting close to the Fusak position, a light curtain like the dawn rose up on the Fusak side, blocking the powerful artillery fire and planting countless "mushrooms" in mid-air.

On the other side lies the powerful "Battle Kingdom"!

The Church of War has the most powerful "warriors," while Fusak also has a powerful "army."

Fursak is a kingdom ruled by two powerful angelic families, the Soren and Einhorn, who check and balance each other. These two families are also unique in that they both possess the "Hunter" pathway, making them invincible in war.

In this situation, the two sides in the war have reached a stalemate.

Half an hour later, demigods began to appear on both sides of the battlefield.

The morning light rose in the direction where Fusak was located. The warm light gave the warriors courage and confidence, and they continued to charge forward to take down Rune's position.

Almost at the same moment, a slightly blurry, huge figure appeared behind Rune's side.

The figure was over ten meters tall, humanoid in shape, with two arms extending from its ribs and waist, radiating a dense darkness.

All the soldiers charging toward the Rune position fell silent. They were as if they had returned to the time when they were children and faced the darkness alone, and an indescribable sense of fear filled their hearts.

As dawn raged and darkness raged in a tug-of-war, the soldiers and officers fought against this terrifying and extraordinary power.

"This is insane..." Klein exclaimed. It was the first time he had ever seen such a large-scale war between extraordinary beings, in which some of their extraordinary abilities were used very cleverly.

For example, the fear of traveling through the night is like a mystical "nuclear bomb" to ordinary armies, capable of instantly destroying the fighting spirit and courage of enemy troops in the absence of an equal opponent.

Klein, who was watching the battlefield, suddenly looked up. The fog on the battlefield suddenly became unusually thick, to the point that targets could not be seen clearly even five meters away.

"A 'weather sorcerer'? Or a corresponding sealed artifact?" Klein's spirituality provided guidance.

"This is quite troublesome." Klein watched the increasingly thick fog warily.

This is a key transportation hub city in the northern border of Loen, which Klein understands as a strategic location that is of great importance to military strategists. Therefore, Fursak also sent an angel to oversee the battle.

"But I can't let you pass." Klein reached into the history books and pulled out the "Book of Calamities".

He gently opened the book, and at that moment, he took control of the power of "natural disaster".

"Natural disasters" and "weather wizards" are a perfect match!

Klein's eyes flashed with countless storm runes as he leaped into the mist.

"Lightning Storm!"

This is the ability that Klein uses the most, because it's really useful!

Rumble!

The blazing lightning instantly shattered the vast fog, forcefully clearing a huge void.

Klein sensed something and looked in a certain direction. He saw a blurry figure with outstretched arms in the mist, constantly manipulating it.

Under Klein's lightning, the fog gradually thinned, and Klein finally saw the true form of this "weather sorcerer".

He was dressed in General Fussack's uniform, and his face, neck, and hands gleamed with a steely sheen, giving him a cold appearance.

This is a "weather wizard".

"Ancient Scholar of the Church of the Night?" This "weather sorcerer" was very familiar with the powers within the Church of the Night and recognized Klein's sequence directly through the "Book of Calamity" in Klein's hand.

This requires extremely keen insight and extensive combat experience.

"You think you can stop me with just a Sequence 3? Ha."

Klein's brow twitched; his intuition was clearly telling him that this was an attack.

"I've always heard that the 'Hunter's' way of speaking is very pleasant, and now I've seen it for myself." Klein suppressed the restlessness of his spirit.

After acquiring the angelic rank, "speaking nicely" or "provocative" has undergone a qualitative change. One can use words to provoke the opponent's fighting spirit and deliver a mental attack equivalent to that of a "manipulator".

"But... I really don't want to hear you say anything more." Klein flipped through the "Book of Calamities" again.

This time, attacks such as lightning storms and tornadoes were unleashed on the "weather wizard" in a barrage.

Klein's battles no longer require him to worry about the depletion of his spiritual energy!

"It's just a projection of history." With a wave of his hand, the "weather wizard" caused the fog to thicken countless times, as if some strange power was constantly eroding Klein's spirituality.

At the same time, the temperature inside the thick fog was dropping rapidly, and hailstones were constantly pelting Klein.

And in the thickest fog above Klein's head, there were even flashes of lightning, like a torrential downpour.

Every hailstone and every bolt of lightning seemed to carry an aura that made Klein wary—an attack targeting "weaknesses."

The areas covered by dense fog are the domain of the "weather wizards"!

In their first encounter, Klein suffered a complete defeat, unable to even perfectly control the lightning of the "Book of Calamity" itself.

"So this is the 'Weather Mage'..." Klein could perfectly unleash the power of the "Book of Calamity," but compared to the "Weather Mage" opposite him, his Lightning Storm was much stiffer. The countless hailstones and lightning found a "weak point" and crumbled with a single blow.

"We need to call for backup!" Klein reached into the thick fog beside him and pulled out three angels—King George III, the Apostolic Nun, and Mr. Azik—from behind him!

Fussack's "weather wizard" raised an eyebrow in surprise upon seeing the historical projections of the three angels.

George III is normal, but what the heck are the Rosary and the "Death Consul"? Is your social circle really that wild?
