Chapter 504: Chapter 36: Gold

“Ah!!!”

A scream pierced the sky. The witch’s hand, which had transformed into branches, returned to its original form, but both hands were now severed at the wrist. The entire hand was missing, transformed into a mass of green fibrous wriggling creature, like a squirming plant.

The three people in the sky gasped in unison.

“Da da da!”

At the same time, a series of hurried footsteps echoed.

From the depths of the forest, a group of riders suddenly charged out.

They wore silver-gray full-body armor, many of which had sword marks. Although not glaringly eye-catching, a chilling murderous aura emanated from them.

On their chests was a badge of a blood-stained Cross Sword.

This badge was already famous in these lands; it was the Blood Cross Badge renowned since the bloody war decades ago, and the knight order bearing this badge was the one that led that war—

The Blood Knight Order!

“Draw swords! Fight! Blood-stained cross!”

“Draw swords! Fight! Blood-stained cross!”

The chilling voices of murder swept through the night sky as the Blood Knights drew their Cross Swords in unison, charging into the Black Armor Knight Order. Their eyes were cold, their demeanor frosty, without a moment’s pause, like cold-blooded killing machines.

Over years of development and construction, Lynch had enhanced and upgraded this Blood Knight Order time and again.

The Alchemy Workshop had crafted blood-colored battle armor for them, the silver-gray armor they currently wore. It was made of rare Magic Essence Iron Ore as the base material, with rune-enhanced Magic Equipment, and each piece had an energy carrying capacity equivalent to an Official Level witchcraft.

After the completion of the Extraordinary Altar, each of these knights underwent the altar’s baptism, undergoing rune power modifications on their bodies, granting them some Extraordinary Power.

Now, each of them surpassed the limits of human capability, wielding power not inferior to that of Official Wizard Level.

The number of knights Alex brought, despite undergoing magical transformations, remained shallow except for Alex himself and could not reach the Wizard Level, numbering only a hundred or so.

Facing an enemy several times their number, far stronger than themselves, left them with no room to resist.

In just one encounter, the Black Armor Knight Order was directly overwhelmed; the Blood Knight Order cut through them like a hot knife through butter, the blades in their hands coldly and mercilessly harvesting lives one after another.

“Master Wizard!”

Alex was shocked, hastily calling for help to the people in the sky.

Christoph from the Ivory Tower snapped out of it, quickly reciting spells to lend assistance. However, before his spell could be cast, a haughty voice suddenly echoed.

“Gabriel, you promised the rest to me, you can’t take it!”

With the appearance of this voice, space in front of Christoph distorted, and soon, a figure clad in the same golden armor, with Great Angel wings, appeared.

Unlike the previous figure, this one’s hair was black, and he wielded not a Cross Sword but a long knight spear.

Christoph was astonished.

He quickly redirected his spell. With a great roar, dozens of wind blades, each nearly a hundred meters in diameter, engulfed the golden-armored man, their terrifying momentum seeming to rip the night sky apart.

Yet, faced with this fearsome spell of hundreds of degrees of energy, the golden-armored black-haired man only sneered condescendingly.

“Hmph!”

He thrust his knight spear forward, launching several spear flowers, each striking the incoming wind blades. Under this spear, the thundering wind blades were fragile as paper, shattered instantly.

In an instant, the spell summoned by this High-level Wizard was effortlessly dissolved and scattered.

Lucifer stood proudly in the air with his spear, sneering at Christoph ahead: “Is this all you’ve got? How boring, show your strength!”

Christoph’s face was exceedingly grave as he cast a pleading glance at his two companions beside him.

However, faced with this suddenly appearing force, his two companions were equally stunned, one with crippled hands, the other panic-stricken, showing not a hint of battle intent.

When confronted with Christoph’s gaze, instead of rallying to face the enemy together, the two began retreating.

“Flee!”

With this word, they instantly flew in opposite directions.

“Damn it!”

Christoph cursed angrily, having no choice but to flee as well.

“Oh dear!”

Lucifer sighed in disappointment: “I thought I’d find a half-decent opponent, but it’s this kind of trash!”

Gabriel frowned: “Don’t waste time!”

“Got it, got it!”

Lucifer grumbled unhappily, simultaneously transforming into a stream of light as he flapped his wings and pursued.

Mere moments later, a few screams were heard ahead, and shortly thereafter, Lucifer returned, now holding several items—two heads and half a body.

The heads belonged to Yodel and Christoph, while the remaining half-body belonged to that unknown witch.

Two Mid-level Wizards, one High-level Wizard, had perished at Lucifer’s hands in an instant.

Meanwhile, the battle below had also reached its conclusion.

The modified knights of the Ivory Tower were simply no match for the Blood Knight Order; faced with the Blood Knights’ assault, they offered no resistance and were crushed in an instant.

As their leader, Alex was beheaded on the spot, while the remaining modified knights stood no chance.

In just a few minutes, the scene returned to tranquility.

After dispatching the last enemy, the leader of this Blood Knight Order, Calido, walked over to the still-terrified Julia with the blood-stained Cross Sword.

Calido stated succinctly: “Holy Daughter, we are here under the orders of the Councilman to support you.”

Although Lynch Witch Domain was mostly under the influence of the Light Church, Erwin had specifically selected those knights without faith or with shallow beliefs when choosing the Blood Knights.

Thus, the Church Court’s influence over the Blood Knight Order was limited, as evidenced by the lack of fervor and reverence from this Blood Knight’s leader toward Julia compared to typical believers.

Julia was taken aback: “Erwin?”

Though they belonged to the same faction, Julia did not consider her relationship with this human to be cordial.

Calido nodded: “Yes.”

After a pause, he continued bluntly: “Please come with me; a certain master wishes to meet you.”

Julia questioned: “Who, Erwin?”

Calido did not elaborate, simply saying: “Follow me, and you’ll find out.”

Julia followed Calido through a muddy path, soon reaching a clearing in the forest.

Calido said: “Please wait a moment, the master should be on his way.”

Julia’s expression turned angry. ’Who does Erwin think he is to make her wait, just a mere human?’ she thought. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveIꜰire.net

She was about to lash out when a hurried horse’s hooves sound was heard.

“Da da da!”

From a distance, a convoy approached.

It was an unusual convoy, with carriages entirely constructed of white bones, and the horses were not ordinary warhorses but massive, robust Bone Warhorses emitting a fierce spray of ghostly blue Soul Fire, exceedingly flamboyant and domineering.

Through the open carriage window, a glimpse of a silver-haired, frosty-looking man sitting inside could be caught.

Julia’s expression changed.

Her dissatisfaction retreated like the tide.

Her body froze.
