Chapter 3365: The IncidentEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ten minutes later.

The entrance to the sixteenth-floor hall of the Holy Spirit Temple was pushed open from outside by two high-tier oracles.

Upon seeing the arrivals, everyone present immediately changed expression and bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Lord Bishop!"

Auston, the bishop of the Central Divine Kingdom, held the responsibility within the church as supervisor of the First Judgment Knight Legion. He was the pinnacle of the church’s military power, known across the continent as the spear of the church.

Auston was accompanied by an elite Judgment Knight Legion of thirty-five members, each possessing strength comparable to a normal archbishop.

"Hmm..."

Archbishop Auston gave a slight hum, glanced at Kevin in the center of the magic array, who had already lost all signs of life, and his face grew colder by several degrees.

"I have heard of the situation. Let us go."

With that, Auston led the way, stepping into the teleportation magic array leading to the spiritual world, followed closely by the thirty-five elite Judgment Bearers.

The teleportation magic array flashed with light.

In the blink of an eye, the group had entered the spiritual world.

A buzzing sound rang sharply in the air.

Archbishop Auston raised his head and looked up into the sky.

Not far ahead, within the spiritual mist, seven figures cloaked in purple lightning quickly appeared one after another.

The Thunder Martial Souls described by Leo?

Indeed, the dark purple armor condensed on their bodies closely resembled holy armor, as if copied directly.

But the church’s report mentioned encountering only one Thunder Martial Soul. Now there were seven.

The Judgment Bearers summoned their soul warrior spirits, preparing for battle.

"All units, prepare for combat!"

Auston’s face darkened. His body’s surface condensed with intense mental strength, gathering into a physical holy armor, while his holy long sword materialized in his hand.

"Whoosh!!!"

Seven Thunder Martial Souls burst out of the spiritual mist, transforming immediately into seven purple lightning bolts attacking the Judgment Bearers from different directions!

The two Thunder Martial Souls at the front raised giant axes and struck down fiercely!

Thunder Strike!

"Boom! Boom!!!"

Two consecutive thunderclaps echoed from above, as two thick purple lightning snakes fiercely struck down toward two unlucky Judgment Bearers below.

"Bang!!!"

The purple lightning collided with the holy shields protecting the oracles, causing two loud explosions.

The holy shields trembled violently, immediately spreading spiderweb-like cracks on the surface.

The two Judgment Bearers grunted simultaneously, clearly caught off guard by the ferocity of the attacks and suffering some losses.

Meanwhile, three more Thunder Martial Souls rushed in from the right side, swinging battle axes that unleashed wild electric arcs, slashing toward Archbishop Auston at the front.

"Hmph! Seeking death!"

Auston roared angrily, swinging his holy long sword forged from pure mental strength to clash heavily with the lightning axes.

"Bang! Bang!"

The collision of solidified mental strength in midair stirred a ripple of energy.

The three Thunder Martial Souls were heavily struck by Auston’s sword and flung backward.

"Good!"

Seeing the bishop’s single strike send three Thunder Martial Souls flying, the Judgment Bearers’ morale soared. They raised their holy long swords and launched offensive attacks against the Thunder Martial Souls.

Archbishop Auston stood behind the team, observing with a furrowed brow.

The spiritual strength of the Thunder Martial Souls was much stronger than he had anticipated. Though his strike looked like he had the upper hand against three opponents, it actually consumed a considerable amount of his mental strength.

Where exactly had these things come from?

"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

The Thunder Martial Souls lacked self-awareness. After being heavily injured and flung back, they re-entered combat state and charged at the pursuing Judgment Bearers.

The individual combat power of each side was similar.

But the Judgment Bearers had a numerical advantage and could summon high-tier Holy Spirit Martial Souls for support, coordinating among themselves.

The battle lasted only about half a minute before the Judgment Bearers firmly gained the upper hand, suppressing and attacking the seven Thunder Martial Souls.

The Thunder Martial Souls grew weaker from entanglement and exhaustion, their forms becoming increasingly faint and near collapse.

Archbishop Auston focused on the Thunder Martial Souls but suddenly sensed something and frowned deeply, shouting, "Be careful! They are suspicious!"

Before his words finished, a Judgment Bearer’s holy light long sword pierced through a Thunder Martial Soul’s chest.

"Die, monster!"

Huh?

The spiritual form of the Thunder Martial Soul did not fade completely as expected but instead flickered intermittently, its form blinking faster and faster.

What?!

The Judgment Bearer raised an eyebrow.

"Boom!!!!!!"

In the next instant, the Thunder Martial Soul’s spiritual body suddenly exploded fiercely right before their eyes!

The berserk purple lightning instantly formed a massive spherical lightning net, enveloping three nearby Judgment Bearers!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

The three Judgment Bearers, despite their shattered holy barriers, barely escaped the spherical lightning net, their spiritual constructs dimming considerably.

In just a moment, the explosion caused by the Thunder Martial Soul’s self-destruction drained over half of their mental strength.

They had nearly died from that spherical lightning attack.

The other Judgment Bearers were shocked upon witnessing this.

What the hell was that?

Spirit constructs could self-destruct?

Archbishop Auston’s expression darkened even more.

These Thunder Martial Souls were extraordinary.

They were definitely being controlled by someone behind the scenes.

Were they targeting the church?

"They can self-destruct. Be careful."

Archbishop Auston warned as he prepared to attempt capturing one Thunder Martial Soul for research, but suddenly frowned and looked up sharply, focusing on the sky.

That was...

Many Judgment Bearers also noticed the gradually intensifying spiritual fluctuations in the distance and raised their heads to look.

In the distant spiritual mist, numerous purple figures slowly emerged.

One, two, three...

More than thirty Thunder Martial Souls stepped out one after another, locking their killing intent onto the Judgment Bearer team.

What!? There were more?

And over thirty!?

They had not even finished dealing with the first wave, and now an even larger one had arrived?

What should they do?

The Judgment Bearers’ hearts sank.

The individual combat strength of a Ray Thunder Soul was extremely strong, manageable at seven, but more than thirty at once?

"Retreat!"

Auston decisively ordered the team to withdraw.

They could not continue fighting.

They had eliminated seven, but with more than thirty coming, who could guarantee even more wouldn’t appear afterward?

Though they had suppressed the Ray Thunder Souls throughout the fight, the mental strength consumed was very real.

Upon hearing the order, the Judgment Bearers unleashed their spirit long swords to force the Thunder Martial Souls back, then turned and retreated toward the teleportation magic array behind.

In the distance, Fang Heng and Zane watched the team leave.

Zane whispered, "Fang Heng, brother, just let them leave like that? If you acted, it wouldn’t be a problem to keep them here."

"No need." Fang Heng gently shook his head. "If the church cannot deal with the Thunder Martial Souls, then it’s time for the God Clan to intervene. Zane, now it’s time to test our luck. Let’s go."
