Magic Underachiever

Outside the Azure Cathedral, two explosions blew up two statues of archangels. The rubble and shock waves swept all the church knights guarding outside the church. All the nearby citizens were killed in the explosion, and there were countless injuries nearby.

Most of the church knights protected by heavy armor were able to get up from the ground. Some of them retreated into the church and closed the church door to protect the believers hiding inside. The other surviving church knights formed a human wall and pointed their long-handled battle axes at the two people standing in the middle of the square.

These two people wore loose blood-red smocks with hoods on their heads to cover their faces. The smock showed a pattern of a giant python, and under their feet was a magic circle with blood-red light emitting outwards.

So calm, and exuding an evil aura. It can be concluded that the two explosions that just blew up the archangel statue were caused by them...

They are pagans on the evil side.

The Church of the Good can treat every believer of the God of Light and ordinary people without faith kindly, but it has always been zero tolerance for pagans who believe in "false gods". As long as the traces of pagans are found on the Order Continent, the Supreme Church will definitely send out armed forces to eliminate them. When the Supreme Church attacks pagans, the Supreme Church will sometimes be attacked by pagans.

However, it is rare for a heavily guarded church like the Azure Cathedral to be attacked.

The church knights guarding the cathedral came from all directions, and the use of divine arts made the armor they wore emit a light golden light. They used their guarding skills on each other, listed battle formations one by one, and waited for orders to besiege the pagans who invaded the Azure Cathedral.

The two pagans who were surrounded did not have any nervous or fearful movements. They stood firmly on the magic circle with their hands behind their backs.

The church knights approached step by step, chanting prayers together, and the divine arts increased their strength and their protective capabilities. The light emitted from the armor became stronger and stronger, combining into a light curtain with cooperative defense attributes.

Correspondingly... the magic circle under the feet of the two pagans was also constantly expanding. The blood-red light solidified into a dancing flame, like a roar from the abyss, louder and louder. Suddenly, the ground beneath the feet of the two pagans rose rapidly, and the sudden abnormality made the church knights cautiously stop their advance.

"I am Ramses, the bishop of the Church of Gazing at the Abyss in Saroyang..." One of the pagans spread his voice throughout the Azure Cathedral area: "I am ordered by the president of the Church of Gazing at the Abyss to establish the Gazing at the Abyss branch in Saroyang...

Today is my first day in Saroyang, and I decided to say hello to the citizens of Saroyang in this way.

Ergus, the fearful demon king of the Gazing at the Abyss, fear is his priesthood. Therefore... tremble in fear, humble reptiles, the more afraid you are... the more powerful my god will be.

The God of Light cannot protect you, the angels cannot protect you, and the Vlomink Empire cannot protect you. I am here, in the middle of this city, and I will take your souls away...

Feel the fear brought by hell!"

As soon as Ramses finished speaking, the ground covered by the entire magic circle, except for the place where the two Gazing at the Abyss believers stood, all collapsed instantly, and the real hell flames steamed. After a roar that soared to the sky, a demon was summoned.

The demon crawled from the abyss to the ground and roared at the terrified crowd. He is nearly seven meters tall, sturdy and strong. His body is covered with dark red lava, with a pair of curved horns on his head, four sharp claws, and a thick tail behind his buttocks. A roar, with a fearful mental shock spread, some church knights loosened their hands in fear, and their long-handled battle axes fell to the ground.

"It's a 13th-level demon... Keep the formation!" The commander of the church knights saw that the morale of his subordinates was frightened by the demon, and immediately shouted loudly: "Defend! Defend! Wait for the support of the palace knights... We are the warriors of the God of Light..."

The commander of the church knights had not finished speaking, and the demon disappeared in an instant, and then appeared again from the top of the commander of the church knights. The huge body fell down fiercely, and the knight commander in heavy armor did not react at all, and turned into a flattened piece of iron.

The demon roared again... It is a projection of the demon power condensed by divine power after summoning. It has the strength of a demon but not the mind of a demon. It is itself a brutal monster that kills by instinct.

After killing the leader of the Vatican Knights, the demon waved his claws at the church knights around him. The heavily armored church knights were swept away in groups like bowling balls. Flames flew and explosions occurred. The demons kept releasing magic while killing the knights around them. In a short time, the church knights who had just been disciplined and in neat formation were lost in a wailing.

In the absence of any burning materials, the soaring magic flames spread across the square.

The imperial army, which reacted quickly, had sent silver wings to the airspace of the Azure Cathedral, but when they saw the demons on the ground, they did not immediately launch an attack.

Demons are the ultimate creatures of the original hell plane, and they are born at level 13. Although they cannot fly, they can enter the subspace and move at will. In other words, the silver wings flying in the air are not safe when facing demons.

All the silver wings of the imperial air force received the order.

"This incident is tentatively classified as a religious conflict. According to the agreement between the Empire and the Holy See, when the Holy See and the pagans have an armed conflict, the Imperial Army will give the Holy See appropriate convenience.

All Silver Wings are on standby in the air. As long as the Holy See is still fighting the demons, we will not intervene in the battle."

"The ground army will block the streets around the Azure Church, evacuate the citizens, clear the roads, and cover the battle fortresses entering the battlefield."

"The cruiser-class airship is about to enter the Azure area, and the Silver Wing will take over the cover..."

When the Imperial Army surrounded the Azure Church and arranged combat tactics, the Knights of the Azure Cathedral arrived late.

In fact, the Knights of the Azure Cathedral cannot be blamed.

The tense situation in the Marcellus Province made the Imperial Garrison in Saroyang City tense at any time. The director of the Special Security Bureau was assassinated some time ago, and the Imperial Garrison raised the warning level by one level. The outside was loose and the inside was tight, so that when the Azure Cathedral just exploded, all the Imperial Garrison in a state of combat readiness took action at the same time.

The Knights of the Temple had been at ease for too long.

No one would have thought that someone would dare to attack the Azure Cathedral, and attack so blatantly in broad daylight. No one could have thought that so many Knights of the Cathedral could not deal with two pagans.

When the demons were summoned, it was too late for the Knights of the Temple to rush out to support them.
