This damn magician, this lowly mortal, how dare he?!
He's just summoning a bunch of ants, how dare he just stand there laughing!?
The fake saintess felt almost nauseous just looking at that guy's confident smile.
"You don't actually think you can challenge me with just this bunch of junk and a few third-rate Templar Knights, do you?!"
But Ye Xiao couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark to the other person: "To be honest, you really need to see a doctor. With someone else's face distorted into that kind of expression, it's hard to say if you have any mental problems."
"Die!!!"
These words instantly ignited the fake saintess's mentality. With a wave of her hand, the burst of golden light instantly condensed into an unstoppable beam of light that shot straight toward Ye Xiao's face.
But then, like waves of black silt, it surged in from the break, forming a high wall that stood firmly in front of Ye Xiao.
The collision of the two divine forces produced a violent explosion, and the sturdy banquet hall finally succumbed to the pressure and collapsed completely.
But when the dust settled, both the bewildered Templar Knights and the group of trembling nobles in the corner discovered that the ruins around them were held up by black silt and had not collapsed.
Of course, the most shocked was the fake saintess who was still in a fit of rage.
Her eyes widened as she saw the silver-haired girl in a black dress leap down from the manticore's head and land lightly on the ground.
Then, Ella Hayville slowly stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ye Xiao, her deep red eyes slightly narrowed, and a playful smile curling at the corners of her lips:
"Me? What, you disagree?"
Chapter Ninety-Six: On the Verge of Explosion
Two saintesses?
The group of Templar Knights looked at the black-clad saintess standing in the black mud, exuding an evil aura and haughty demeanor, and then couldn't help but glance at the white-clad saintess bathed in golden light, her expression somewhat distorted.
What... what's going on?
"What are you looking at me for!? You don't really think that the one covered in black mud is the real saintess!?" the fake saintess immediately retorted angrily.
The group of Templar Knights quickly turned around.
At present, the Fourth Knights are more willing to believe in the white-clad saintess behind them.
After all, the divine authority of light held by the other party is genuine.
Therefore, the Knights Commander Augustus hesitated for only a moment before wielding his greatsword and pointing it straight ahead.
"Templar Knights, follow me and wipe out these evil spirits!!!"
The battle is about to break out.
The battle horn sounded loudly, and the priests at the rear raised their staffs to summon holy light, casting various buff spells on the Templar Knights who had formed a formation.
On the other side, Freya also slammed her arcane staff into the floor tile, and with the golden light radiating from it, the alchemical golems from the Craftsmen's Guild and the knights under Ella's command also charged towards the imposing knightly order without hesitation.
The torrential rain poured down on the half-collapsed and teetering main hall, which now seemed cramped as it transformed into a battlefield between two opposing forces.
Two scorpion-tailed lions charged wildly into the knights' formation, while the fearless alchemical golems swung their brass blades at the Templars' heavy shields.
Ella and Ye Xiao had a clearer goal. The two figures flashed through the chaotic battlefield, their target being the white-clad saintess hiding behind the knights.
The Templar Knights immediately tried to stop them, but the surging mud from the earth quickly shattered their defensive formation.
Augustus, who was in the battle formation, immediately tried to stop him, but a row of long spears woven from copper wires in the sky then plunged into the ground in front of him with great force, blocking his way.
The knight commander turned around and saw Freya, her eyes gleaming, looking at him from the other side of the battlefield.
Immediately afterwards, several Loren Knights, blessed by its "evolution," descended from the sky wielding clockwork greatswords.
Brass-colored lines ran across their armor, which was enveloped in holy light, and the hilts of their swords were embedded with metal engines that were emitting a low rumble.
Freya's path to godhood was interrupted by Ye Xiao, but with her divine kingdom and incomplete evolutionary powers, she can still unleash powerful spells comparable to the extraordinary.
Augustus had never seen a Templar Knight who seemed to be integrated with alchemical technology before, and his expression beneath the visor was somewhat astonished.
"By the God of Light, what heresy is this?!"
Regardless of how much Augustus was amazed, Ella and Ye Xiao had already crossed the chaotic center of the battlefield and were gradually approaching the fake saintess hiding in the rear.
Black sludge clung to Ye Xiao's body like a cloak fluttering in the wind, and tentacles grew out and spread along Ye Xiao's arms.
Through this special blessing spell, Ye Xiao was able to cast the divine spell of contracting with Ella without consuming any mental energy.
This was probably the first time Ella and Ye Xiao had teamed up for a battle since arriving in this world.
The two, working in perfect harmony, moved through the dense ranks of the knights' army with their swords, as if they were in an empty field.
The blade, gleaming with black flames, reflected on the gleaming silver armor of a Templar Knight, cleaving the heavy, thick Templar shield as easily as paper.
No matter how many knights rushed forward, they couldn't stop the two from cutting through the enemy like vegetables. Ella didn't need to kill them either. After breaking through their defenses with a single strike and channeling her magic into them, she could use "Renata's Web" to exert a direct mental influence on them, causing them to fall into a coma.
Therefore, in no time at all, the ground was covered with unconscious Templar Knights.
Upon seeing this, the fake saintess hurriedly activated her spatial magic to prepare for a retreat.
Once she calmed down, she realized that the situation was completely out of her control, and that retreating in time was the best option.
But this time, her magic failed to move the stagnant space.
A ripple trembled in the air, then dissipated as if nothing had happened.
What the hell is going on?!
Just then, beside an inconspicuous broken wall, a purple-haired girl with a fat golden cat on her head leaned out from the wall and angrily waved her little fist at the fake saintess in the field, "Do you really think you can just use my things as you please? Go ahead and kill that bastard, Saintess!"
"Hey, can you stop calling that woman so affectionately!" Greta frowned, perched on Lucyville's head. "You're a demon, you know!"
The arrogant divine authority suddenly became unruly, and the false saintess hurriedly activated her holy light magic, causing a pair of golden wings to unfurl from her back.
With a flap of its wings, it carried her straight into the sky, soaring upwards along the dilapidated floors.
While flying with the Wings of Holy Light is slower than teleportation, its speed is still considerable.
Seeing this, Ella naturally couldn't let the culprit get away.
With a wave of her hand, she summoned waves of silt to surge out from the floor tiles, overwhelming the Templar Knights who were still trying to block her way. Then, huge tentacles rose from the ground beneath her and Ye Xiao's feet, violently hurling them into the air.
The two then simultaneously activated Cynthia's beast form, using the intersecting fault lines in the building to leap up, their figures transforming into two zigzag lines between the magnificent towers as they rapidly ascended.
Just as the fake saintess scrambled to the top of the broken dome, Ella, who was half a floor behind, suddenly unleashed a long, thin black tentacle from under her cloak, which instantly pierced through several stone slabs and precisely stabbed into the fake saintess's hind foot.
Like a bird about to soar into the sky being suddenly pulled down by tentacles emerging from the abyss, the fake saintess was dragged back down by Ella just as she was about to rush out of the top floor of the main hall.
At the same moment, Ye Xiao gripped the long sword burning with black flames in both hands and shot into the sky from below like a cannonball.
Facing the falling fake saintess, the black fire blade trailed a sharp edge that pierced the heavens and earth.
But suddenly, a magic circle shimmering with holy light opened in mid-air, and at the critical moment, the fake saintess summoned a defensive spell to forcefully withstand the fierce sword strike.
The collision of the black and gold objects unleashed a dazzling burst of energy, and the massive impact instantly ripped off the roof of the main hall.
Unrestrained magic spread everywhere, causing the already crumbling building to finally give way and collapse with a crash.
Lucy Villa, who was hiding in the broken wall downstairs, was also panicked and ran around screaming as countless boulders fell from the sky.
At the same time, the fake saintess, who had been blasted into the air above the cliff by the explosion, suddenly felt that the arrogant power she had seized was back in her grasp.
She barely hesitated; with a flick of her finger, she created a spatial rift leading several miles away and stepped inside.
Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Abandoned
But in the next moment, she suddenly saw the scenery in front of her dissolve like an oil painting that had been splashed with water.
The vibrant colors suddenly faded, leaving only a pitch-black sky.
The spatial rift vanished without a trace, and she found herself standing in an endless sea of blood, with only a crimson full moon rising slowly in the sky.
...The curse of the moon goddess!?
The fake saintess was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing what was happening.
She quickly focused her mind to break free from this illusion.
This was not difficult for her, who possessed powerful magic, but when she suddenly returned to reality, Ye Xiao, with his cold eyes and sword drawn, suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
The intense killing intent so close at hand sent chills down her spine for the first time in her life, but it was too late to cast any powerful spells.
The black flames coiling around the blade distorted the light, and with the trajectory of the slash, they brutally cleaved the world in the false saintess's eyes in two.
Ye Xiao would show no mercy to this wicked saintess who attempted to corrupt millions of people as a form of blasphemy.
The blade's edge slanted across the white-clad saintess's slender body, and the blood that splattered out like spilled ink blended into the torrential rain.
The fake saintess fell from the sky with a blank look in her eyes. Her two halves rolled and crashed into the edge of the city wall below, gushing blood as they fell into the dark sea.
When Ella pierced the fake saintess's heel with her tentacles, she took the opportunity to channel some of her magic into the other woman's body.
Only then was it possible to use this special magical medium to drag the fake saintess into the Moon Goddess's Illusion while she was focused on creating spatial rifts.
A moment's distraction allowed Ye Xiao, who was right behind him, to seize the opportunity and rush in front of the fake saintess.
With a full-force Holy Flame Slash, he finally slew the fake saintess who had no time to prepare.
The two who fell from the sky into the ruins of the main hall did not let their guard down. Instead, they immediately pushed off the ground and leaped onto the towering city wall.
The two stood on the edge of the city wall, perched atop a cliff, gazing at the deep sea, and waited quietly for a moment.
A short while later.
Sure enough, the once tranquil sea suddenly began to churn.
As the waves swirl, a huge whirlpool slowly emerges beneath the cliff.
However, just when Ella and Ye Xiao thought something earth-shattering was about to happen...
In the pouring rain, the clear sound of a baby crying suddenly reached everyone's ears.
"Wow——"
"Wow——"
The clanging of metal against metal amidst the ruins, the patter of raindrops on the city walls, and the clatter of the wind sweeping across the mountaintops—all sounds became muffled.
At this moment, it seemed that only this distant lamentation remained in the world.
Upon hearing this eerie sound, both sides engaged in battle amidst the ruins simultaneously ceased their actions and turned towards the edge of the cliff, towards the source of the weeping.
On the city wall, Ye Xiao and Ella exchanged a glance.
She had seen a similar scene in Liangqiu Village before... but that time it was the birth of an evil god.
What is this baby crying? What kind of evil god is this about to be born?
Just as Ella was wondering what was going on, a pale hand suddenly emerged from the ever-expanding vortex.
Golden holy light condensed into clusters, like starlight emerging from beneath the sea.
By pulling on the seemingly lifeless arm, they dragged the remaining half of the fake saintess's body out of the seawater.
Her once silver hair had turned back to black, and her deep red pupils had returned to their original blue.
But there was no light in those blue eyes; they were staring blankly.
Her body looked as if it were stitched together from countless pieces of flesh, and her pale face was covered with twisted, sticky seams that resembled centipedes crawling all over it.
This guy... actually pieced together my appearance using different pieces of meat?
Ella felt nauseous upon seeing this.
But what's even stranger is that the fake saint's remaining half of her belly has become unusually swollen, as if... she were pregnant.
This lifeless shell, eerie and terrifying, gradually drifted into the sky amidst a halo of holiness, like a dazzling sun in a gray sky.
Freya, Augustus, and everyone in Wind Chaser Castle stared in astonishment at the indescribable object in the air.
This is a corpse surrounded by holy light, a body bearing a baby.
“I have indeed heard that in order to escape madness, Light gave birth to two children.” At this moment, Greta, who was watching this scene from behind the wall, widened her eyes and whispered to Lucyville beneath her, “But I did not expect that one of them would be a stillborn baby.”
Lucyville swallowed hard, her throat trembling slightly. "I...I want to go back to hell."
The holy light, which usually evokes feelings of sanctity and warmth, transformed into clusters of light that floated across the sky, like dazzling stars.
But those bathed in this halo felt only a chill run down their spines.
Ye Xiao had anticipated that the fake saintess might have a second stage, but the way she looked in that second stage was just too ridiculous.
