Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

But all of this is based on the premise that no one survived.

The Obsidian Bishop is the only survivor—he was the one who commissioned Liu Ruyan to assassinate Sylvia. Now that Sylvia is alive but Liu Ruyan is dead, the Obsidian Bishop can guess what happened with his toes.

Why didn't he report it?

Because of fear.

If the Obsidian Bishop dared to report Sylvia for killing Liu Ruyan, Sylvia could report him for apostasy. Both sides held leverage over each other, forming a tacit agreement: whoever flips the table first, they'll both go to jail.

You, Sylvia, have a legal license to kill, and I, the Obsidian Bishop, have diplomatic immunity. Let's see whose privileges are greater.

But this balance won't last long—the Obsidian Bishop's current silence doesn't mean he'll never report it; he could take any risks at any time, or continue to covet Sylvia's life.

Therefore, he must be killed before the Obsidian Bishop can act.

The Obsidian Bishop usually stays in the church. This veteran Gold Saint resides in his territory, protected by magical arrays and his followers. With Cheng Cheng's current strength, breaking in would be certain death. Therefore, the only chance is when he leaves the church.

On the seventh day after Liu Ruyan's death, Bishop Obsidian will personally conduct a requiem ceremony—this is the only time he has left the church recently.

However, the plan to use puppets to secretly assassinate someone while the situation was in disarray...

Failed.

…………

At that moment, the funeral hall instantly descended into chaos.

People screamed and shoved each other as they rushed toward the door, chairs overturned, tables flipped, glasses smashed, and cries mingled together.

Reina instinctively shielded the little girl beside her, trying to pull her away—

Then she froze.

The pink-haired little girl, not even ten years old, was staring intently at the stage, her eyes seeming to hold a demon.

“You…” Lena was stunned.

This is not the look a little girl should have; it's the look a hunter has when looking at his prey.

On the stage, the Obsidian Bishop clutched his chest, his face deathly pale and drenched in sweat. He staggered back a step, his gaze sweeping over the panicked crowd below, trying to find the murderer who had targeted him.

But he dared not linger.

He had no idea how many others were plotting to kill him. Vilette had already left, and without any legendary protection, he had to get to safety as quickly as possible!

go!

He gritted his teeth and suddenly leaped into the air!

"Hmph, want to run away?"

Cheng Cheng sneered, broke free from Lena's hand, pushed off the ground with both feet, and soared into the sky!

"what?"

Lena plopped down on the ground.

She stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, as the tiny figure soared higher and higher, farther and farther away, her mind a complete blank.

"Flying through the air? Gold rank!" Her voice was hoarse, as if she were talking in a dream, "This little girl... she's actually a Gold rank?"

I was just chatting with a promising young woman, even patting her head and feeding her snacks...

what……

Lena decided she would never wash her hands again for the rest of her life.

…………

High in the sky, the wind howled.

Bishop Obsidian clutched his chest and desperately flew towards the church.

The wound is still bleeding, and the magic is fading.

He quickly cast a healing spell, which barely stopped the bleeding, but the bullet was still inside his body. However, he couldn't care less about that now—he could reach the church in three more minutes. There would be a magic circle and guards there, and no one would be able to touch him!

He glanced back and saw a small figure chasing closely behind him.

Only one person?

A little pink-haired girl?

The Obsidian Bishop paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You only sent one person to assassinate me, a dignified peak Gold Saint?"

If he were to turn around now, he could easily kill this arrogant brat.

But he cautiously shook his head, ignored it, and continued flying forward.

Passing through the city center and the business district, a large, lush forest came into view.

Yinhui City National Forest Park.

Two minutes left.

As he was thinking, a childish voice reciting poetry suddenly came from behind him:

"All birds have vanished from the mountains—"

what?

Before the Obsidian Bishop could react, his body suddenly sank, and he lost his ability to fly. Like a kite with a broken string, he plummeted straight down!

How could this be!

The Obsidian Bishop desperately channeled his magic, trying to take off again—but he was like a meteorite caught by the Earth's gravity, or a boulder that had fallen into the deep sea, bound by gravity, unable to fly into the sky again even if he grew wings!

Right below him as he landed, a huge coffin suddenly opened, and a three-headed, six-armed corpse demon soared into the sky, opening its blood-red maw to bite him!

Sanctuary!

The Obsidian Bishop instinctively activated his Sanctuary, a pale golden barrier enveloping him within!

"boom--!!!"

The Corpse Demon's gigantic maw slammed down on the Sacred Domain! The impact, combined with the momentum of the fall, caused the Sacred Domain's light to tremble violently!

Before he could even catch his breath, a flash of sword light appeared!

"Snapped!"

The sacred domain shattered in response!

Another sharp pain shot through my chest! Blood gushed out!

The Obsidian Bishop staggered backward, and upon closer inspection, he saw Sylvia standing in front of him, holding a longsword.

Li Xianyu stood not far away, his hands forming a hand seal, while the Corpse Immortal of Myriad Industries crawled out of the coffin; Freya landed on a large tree, looking down at him; Paul also emerged from the shadows, holding a long sword.

Four people surrounded him.

The Obsidian Bishop clutched his chest, his eyes gradually turning cold:

"It really was you guys."

Sylvia did not speak.

Cheng Cheng didn't know Freya's spells, so he switched to Sylvia. Then, the sword in his hand burst into black flames.

This place is located deep in the forest park, far from the city, and the trees block out the sound.

It was he who chose the burial site for the Obsidian Bishop!

"Accept!"

The Obsidian Archbishop struck first, raising his hand, and three flames simultaneously appeared in his palm!

Unlike Paul, who was nurtured by legends and was a newcomer to the gold mine, or wild gold outside the regime, Obsidian, as a church bishop, could directly receive the fire given by the church, and not just one!

"Deadly Move: The Infernal Demon!"

With a command from the Obsidian Bishop, an invisible wave instantly spread out!

The so-called killing move is to use multiple sparks in combination to produce a brand new effect. This move, "Infernal Demon," is composed of three sparks: Bewitchment, Emptiness, and Demonic Heart. It is an unparalleled killing move that attacks the soul!

After all, gold-level beings are protected by a sacred domain, making them extremely difficult to kill with ordinary attacks, while divine soul killing moves are precisely the counter to them!

Activating this move will cause the power of the fire to reflect the fear in the enemy's heart, luring the enemy into a deep trap from which they cannot extricate themselves!

If the enemy harbors remorse, this move's power doubles, directly ignoring physical defenses and severing the enemy's very soul. If the enemy's resolve is firm, they will suffer from demonic illusions, and under immense mental pressure, they may even suffer a qi deviation, causing their meridians to reverse!

"Everyone has inner demons, whether driven by love, fame, or profit. As long as the abyss remains unfilled, these inner demons will not cease. This endless hell is the cage you have built for yourself!"

Under the smug gaze of the Obsidian Bishop—

Li Xianyu's body stiffened abruptly, and all the memories she had buried deep in her heart surged up at this moment: in the battle against the chicken, tiger, bear, wolf and dog, Yang Chen was bitten to pieces by the giant jaws, Kong Wenbin disappeared between the sharp teeth, and Tie Dan lay motionless in the ruins...

"Captain... Tiedan... Xiao Yang..." Her eyes began to glaze over, and she murmured to herself, "I miss you all..."

Paul also knelt down.

He covered his head with his hands and rolled around in despair: "I really don't know anything! Master! I'm innocent! I didn't see anything! It was Miss who made me do it! Please spare me!"

Freya huddled under the tree, tears streaming silently down her face.

"My life up to this point..." Her voice choked with emotion, "has been very happy and fulfilling for me... I don't want to forget these things... I don't want to..."

The Obsidian Bishop revealed a smug, confident smile.

They've all been infected.

These people have lost their minds, trapped in their inner demons, and are unable to act for the time being. Next, all that's needed is to kill them one by one.

Let's start with Sylvia!

His gaze fell on Sylvia... Where is Sylvia?

A whooshing sound came from above, and the Obsidian Bishop's pupils contracted sharply!

He suddenly looked up—

A longsword engulfed in black flames was slashing down at him!

"Go to hell, you little black guy!"

The Obsidian Bishop frantically tried to restore the Sanctuary, but the shattered Sanctuary had not yet recovered, and his severely injured body slowed his movements.

"Pfft—!"
