The Red Crown wasn't just a normal artifact… As Vale held it, its surface pulsed like a living heart as if the object was trying to resist him.

Vale gritted his teeth as he used his Shadow Divinity to suppress it…

The moment Vale gripped the red crown and got covered with his Divinity, the ritual broke apart completely.

The red mist or the summoning ritual of the chaos immortals was immediately broken as soon as he did so.

"You--!" The furious voice of the Arch Fey echoed.

Then, from the collapsing mist, three figures emerged. They were the Chaos Immortals overseeing the supposed ritual.

However, they seemed to be those lower-tier Immortals, considering the fact that there were plenty of irregularities in their physique.

Nonetheless, their bodies were filled with Chaos Divinity, so there was no doubt about their strength.

One of them, the woman with four eyes, pointed at him in rage.

"Shadow Immortal! You dare interfere with the Covenant of Blood?!"

Vale turned his head slowly… 'Covenant of Blood?'

He had no idea what it was, but it was surely related to the red crown and Mennena. Furthermore, with so much blood spilled in the cathedral, this seemed to be a fitting name…

"So it was a covenant… No wonder the whole city reeks of blood."

'Just what is your deal with this Arch Fey anyway…' Vale felt confused since he didn't expect the relationship between the two.

Still, the second Chaos Immortal used his Divine Sense, and he also couldn't find the limit of Vale's Divinity.

His concealment ability was definitely higher than theirs… But no matter how strong Vale was, there was no way they would allow him to do as he pleased…

"Kill!"

Soon, a storm of dark spears formed instantly and was thrown toward Vale like a flood!

Vale's hand moved slightly and activated one of his skills…

"Arcane Armor."

Dozens of translucent hexagonal barriers appeared around him, deflecting the barrage. Each impact shook the cathedral, sending cracks running across the floor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Give it back!" The third Chaos Immortal roared as he raised his hand...

"You have no right to claim what belongs to us!"

Vale didn't answer. His gaze turned to the struggling red crown still pulsating in his hand.

The thing was alive and it was trying to break free.

He tightened his grip, and True Astral Chains activated again…

"I don't think this belongs to you either."

The woman hissed. "Kill him before he binds it completely!"

In an instant, all three moved.

Their auras exploded, filling the cathedral with red and black lightning.

'So… Chaos Immortals can do this…' Vale mused as he wasn't using all of his strength, as he wanted to know more about their abilities.

Their Spiritual Pressure was definitely terrifying since three Immortals were focusing on him…

However, Vale's shadow moved beneath him.

"Shadow Gate."

Suddenly, the floor split open and three identical shadows stepped out beside him. They were his stored Shadow Soldiers, all wielding some of his weapons…

The moment the Chaos Immortals attacked, Vale's soldiers intercepted them!

They were definitely not as strong as immortals, but they have weapons and divinity as well! After all, the Shadow Soldiers were made with Shadow Divinity!

Soon, blades started clashing and shockwaves burst across the cathedral…

Boom!

A shockwave tore through the cathedral roof, sending debris flying into the air.

At this time, the people around had already evacuated as the golden-armored Immortal from the Church of the Three Paragons was also fighting equally against a group of Chaos Immortals.

Everything was in chaos!

Suddenly, one of the Chaos Immortals' fists met Vale's palm directly, and the collision sent both sliding backward several meters.

Another Immortal followed, and the battle continued for several exchanges. However, for some reason, Vale felt that they weren't taking him seriously…

Vale looked at the three and asked…

"Are you waiting for reinforcement? They're busy, as you can see." He said as he glanced at the golden Immortal.

Realizing that Vale noticed their plan, they couldn't help but laugh."

"Hahaha! Fool"

"You shouldn't have come here, Shadow Immortal!" the man growled. "You're too late. We will seal you here!"

Vale's expression didn't change…

"Hmm? Is that what you're doing?"

Apparently, he noticed that there were other Chaos Immortals who were starting a ritual while the others were pinning him down.

However, he was unworried about it.

He vanished, reappearing behind the Immortal and catching him in surprise…

It was his Blink spell…

Vale's hand was soon filled with dark light as he triggered another spell.

Soul Reaper!

Just like that, a black void formed midair, slicing across the Chaos Immortal's spirit barrier.

"Ahh!"

The man screamed as his shoulder cracked and part of his energy drained away instantly.

But before Vale could press the attack, he felt a strange pressure…

"Mennena, hurry!" The female Chaos Immortal shouted.

Vale turned as he looked at Mennena's figure.

The Arch Fey's translucent body was glowing, and her eyes now filled with malice.

"You… took what is mine…" she whispered.

'Well… I looked so evil and I just knew that you can't have it.' Vale mused..

Then, he saw her spiritual form expanded…

Her hair floated wildly, and the crown in his hand pulsed even harder as if it were reacting to her fury.

Vale gritted his teeth. "Tch. This thing's connected to her essence…"

The air trembled as Mennena's spiritual power collided with Vale's aura.

From a distance, even the Chaos Immortals outside noticed.

One of them looked back toward the cathedral…

"The ritual has failed… We're also going to get into trouble at this rate."

"Who did this?" the other asked while barely blocking a spear of light from the golden-armored Immortal.

"Someone interfered inside… It seemed to be the Shadow Immortal, but something's weird about it."

"Then hold the Church dogs here. We can't let the Shadow Immortal ruin everything! I'll take care of him…" One of the Immortals said confidently…
