With that, Maya Archbishop and Milo disappeared from everyone's sight.

Pope David and the other Archbishops stared at the spot where they vanished, their teeth clenched in anger.

Now that they had started the Hexagram Array, they had no choice but to keep going until the magic circle was complete.

At the same time, the Shadow Fiend, no longer held back by the spiritual bodies, grew even more wild and furious.

It opened its huge mouth toward the remaining familiar tamers of the [Land of Sins]. A strong suction force came out of its mouth, pulling the tamers in one by one.

Pope David saw this and his eyes turned sharp. He shouted."Damn it! This is the forbidden criminal the former popes sealed inside this Blood Cultivation Realm? Not even Fischl could control this thing. Even I can't!"

As he finished speaking, the Hexagram Array under Pope David's feet finally finished forming. A giant arm shot out and slammed down on the Shadow Fiend with great force.

One hit. The Shadow Fiend knelt on one knee, its dark energy shaking all over. "Damn it! It's you again, you dirty dog raised by The Black Church!"

The Shadow Fiend recognized the source of the hand. Its eyes burned with anger and frustration. "I'll fight you to the death!"

With a loud roar, the Shadow Fiend's dark energy started to burn. A black fire spread around it, twisting the space around it.

The hand Pope David had summoned was burned by the fire, and it lost some of its strength. The Shadow Fiend managed to resist the pressure and stood up again.

Seeing this, Pope David clenched his teeth, his eyes full of shock. "Damn it! What is this thing? How could there be such a monster in the Land of Sins?"

He turned his head and shouted to the others behind him. "One more time!"

At that moment, the Archbishops had already used up all their mental power from the Hexagram Array.

They knelt on the ground, watching Pope David's angry face, looking confused and hesitant.

"Your Grace, summoning one of those ultimate weapons is already our limit."

"That's right. If we try to summon its body to help, it might go out of control too early."

"And even if we do, we don't have enough sacrifices, Your Grace."

When Pope David heard the Archbishops' worries, he looked back at the Shadow Fiend in the distance.

At that moment, the Shadow Fiend had already turned the tide. It could now fight the giant hand evenly.

Pope David realized that although the hand was strong, it couldn't last long. In the end, the Shadow Fiend would take back control.

And when that happened, he would have to face the monster alone.

Thinking this, a cruel smile came across his face. He shouted."It doesn't matter! Sacrifices? The Imperial Princess isn't here. You'll do just fine!"

With that, Pope David, in front of all the Archbishops, summoned a scythe and quickly cut into their necks.

In an instant, blood poured out from the center of the Hexagram Array. The blood of the eleven Archbishops flowed into the still-burning magic circle, making it even more terrifying and dark.

A flood of sounds came from it — men laughing, women crying, old people screaming, monsters growling. It was chaotic, strange, and filled with a terrifying atmosphere that was hard to describe.

Another giant hand shot out from the Hexagram Array and reached for the Shadow Fiend.

The Shadow Fiend had just been burning its own soul to hold off the first hand.

Now, with another one coming, it bent down again, struggling to stand up.

Soon, the soul fire on the Shadow Fiend became dim, and its body started to shrink.

It roared and screamed, struggling fiercely, but it could not get back up. "The Black Church! I curse you! You use a monster as your ultimate weapon. One day, you will be eaten by it too!"

With that, the Shadow Fiend's eyes flashed with anger. Its whole body burned again.

Pope David saw this and frowned, thinking to himself."Damn it, it's going to self-destruct!"

The Shadow Fiend's body quickly shrank. What was once nearly a hundred meters tall now became just ten meters. The air around it was filled with dark energy.

Suddenly, the space around it started to collapse.

Even the two giant hands holding it were squeezed into a single ball of energy.

Seeing this, Pope David was both shocked and angry. He quickly returned to the center of the Hexagram Array and started chanting.

As he spoke the words, the two giant hands quickly pulled back, finally returning to the center of the magic circle.

Pope David sighed in relief.

He got into a defensive position just in time. The energy from the Shadow Fiend's self-destruction shot toward him, almost swallowing him whole.

When everything calmed down, Pope David looked around at the destroyed battlefield. His face was serious. "Maya, I will make you pay for this."

He was about to leave when a round of applause echoed from behind.

Maya Archbishop and Milo appeared again in front of Pope David.

The moment they saw each other, tension was thick in the air.

Pope David coldly looked at Maya and Milo and said."The Shadow Fiend is dead. Now, it's your turn."

Maya and Milo exchanged a glance, and each saw mockery in the other's eyes.

Maya put her hands on her hips and winked at Pope David. "You summoned two ultimate weapons already. Are you really going to summon a third?"

Pope David, hearing this, looked tough on the outside but was actually scared. He coldly snorted."I don't need to summon the ultimate weapon to deal with you."

Milo laughed."That's not certain."

With that, hundreds of different monsters rose up behind him.

Pope David looked up and saw a sky full of rare and strong familiars, some even ranked as S-level.

Faced with these creatures, which were once corpses but now had Saint-level souls, Pope David wasn't sure he could win.

Milo saw that Pope David was all show and no substance, and his smile widened. "These are the familiars of past Saint-level masters. Since you want to play, let them warm you up first!"

With that, the 108 monsters opened their mouths and roared.

Pope David looked around with a serious expression. Just as he was about to fight to the end, the monsters suddenly burst their bodies open and returned to their spiritual forms.

Seeing this, Pope David was stunned. Maya and Milo were completely shocked.

"What the hell? These remains have been here for hundreds of years and were fine. How come they turned out like this the moment they woke up?"

Milo turned to Maya and raised an eyebrow, clearly suspicious.

Maya thought for a moment, then her lips curled slightly. "Maybe it was Logan? How is that possible?"

"Why not?" Logan's voice suddenly cut in, stopping Maya in mid-sentence.

Suddenly, Maya saw a blur. A row of small trees nearby suddenly turned into human shapes — it was Logan, Vincent, and Fischl.

Seeing this, Maya and Milo looked at each other and said coldly."You were just watching from the side the whole time?"

Logan smiled and nodded. "Of course. I almost missed this great show, Maya Archbishop."

Being called by her name directly made Maya blush. She crossed her legs tightly. "What did you do to those bodies?"

Logan smiled and pointed to the crystal of life energy on his forehead. "I took their last bit of energy."

He continued, his face full of mockery. "If I hadn't wanted to trick you, I would have taken them all already."

Maya realized it was all Logan's plan. Her face darkened. "So, you never trusted me from the start?"

Logan nodded. "Who trusts a woman like you? You'll bring trouble to anyone who does."

Maya glared at Logan and sneered. "You won't be able to pay the price for ruining my plan, Logan."

With that, Maya raised her hand. The spiritual bodies inside the corpses suddenly left their bodies and turned into real spiritual forms, rushing toward Logan.

Logan didn't seem afraid at all. He immediately summoned Lilith and Kerparos and ordered."Kill them all, no survivors!"

These spiritual bodies had left their bodies twice already. Their mental power was already half gone.

As soon as Lilith and Kerparos appeared, their S-level energy made the spiritual bodies tremble.

Then, Lilith summoned the Moon-Cleaving Magic Blade. She sat on Kerparos's back and swung it down at the spiritual bodies.

"Die!"

As she spoke, a huge group of spiritual bodies were cut down in one strike.

Seeing this, Maya Archbishop quickly stopped the attack and looked at Logan with a serious face. "How did you find out about me? How did you suspect me?"

Logan smiled when he heard her question. "The moment you gave me that battle style stone tablet, I was already on guard."

He turned his head and looked at Pope David, whose face was pale. "Of course, giving a fake battle style stone tablet — that's something the Pope has done before, right?"

Logan's words exposed the Pope's secret. The Pope opened his mouth but had no idea what to say.

At that moment, Maya Archbishop sneered. "Then why were you so suspicious of me?"

Logan smiled. "What if I told you that from the moment I entered the Blood Cultivation Realm, the whole place was under my control? I knew everything you two were doing."

Maya Archbishop looked at Logan's confident smile and, for a moment, looked worried. "That's impossible! No human power can do that."

Vincent pushed up his glasses and said."It's possible. The Slime Battle Style can do that."
