Magic Underachiever

The thirty Silver Wings that flew out of the Azure Cathedral have reached the attack position. They dare not get too close to the battle area of ​​the demons and the Palace Knights, and all hover in the air about 200 meters above the ground.

More than a dozen nozzles sprayed steam downwards, and the Palace Knights driving the Silver Wings aimed their alchemical rifles, which were specially used for air combat, at the enemies below.

The commander in the temporary air combat command tower of the church shouted through the communication channel between the Silver Wings:

"First Squad, Second Squad, target demons, all activate the armor-piercing technique... Be careful not to accidentally hurt the Knights of the Palace"

"Third Squad, target the invading pagans, activate the bombing technique."

"Everyone load the bullets!"

After the neat sound of bullets being loaded, the captains of each squad responded:

"First Squad, armor-piercing technique, target demons... ready."

"Second Squad, armor-piercing technique, target demons... ready."

"Third Squad, bombing technique, target pagans... ready."

At this time, the tower commander had notified the Knights of the Palace that the Silver Wings were about to participate in the attack. After receiving the response from the Knights of the Palace, the commander notified the Silver Wing battle group: "Ten seconds later... Silver Wing will conduct the first volley, pay attention to the position of the Knights of the Palace. After the volley, the Silver Wing will fire freely to assist the Knights of the Palace in the battle.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Fire."

In the sky, the crisp shooting sounds of the alchemical rifles sounded almost at the same time.

Thirty alchemical bullets were fired at the same time. The enchanted spells on the rifles and the enchanted effects of the corresponding alchemical bullets produced a superimposed reaction, and a long tracer was drawn from top to bottom. One part was shot at the demon, and the other part expanded into a ball of light while flying and bombarded the pagans on the high platform.

The palace knights who had received the information of the silver wing's attack long ago dodged outwards and avoided the attack trajectory of the bullets. Twenty bullets with armor-piercing effects all hit the demon and passed through the body.

This was the most serious injury the demon had suffered since the battle. The pain made it roar at the silver wings in the air. Then the demon wanted to enter the subspace to attack those silver wings. But the palace knights who filled in quickly blocked the demon... The demon tried to enter the subspace several times, but they were beaten out.

The silver wings pulled the bolt to press another bullet into the barrel and re-aimed at the demon...

Ramses summoned a shield with divine magic to block the bombing of the silver wings... At the same time, he also saw the scene of the demon being shot through by armor-piercing bullets. This demon, who had just completed the summoning ritual, did not know how to deal with this unfamiliar weapon. If he continued to fight, he would probably be slowly worn down by the cooperation of the Palace Knights and Silver Wings.

Anyway, Ramses' plan to establish his prestige had been completed. As long as he could gain a foothold in Saroyang City and develop the Gazing Abyss branch... he had plenty of time to slowly play with the Azure Cathedral and all the Supreme Churches in Saroyang City.

"Retreat to our pre-set evacuation area."

Ramses issued a retreat order. After the first round of volleys from Silver Wings, he and his deputy changed the structure of the magic circle under their feet.

The huge pit that was originally emitting hell flames instantly generated a huge suction force. The nearby church knights were sucked into the abyss before they could escape, and were swallowed by the fire pit with screams.

The high platform where Ramses stood also collapsed, and disappeared into the fire pit with his deputy.

The demon who received the retreat order no longer entangled with the Palace Knights. It took another round of shooting from Silver Wings and quickly turned around and jumped into the fire pit.

In the new round of bombing, the flames in the fire pit dimmed rapidly, and the collapsed ground rose piece by piece and returned to its original state.

The battle was over... The hot scene was quiet in an instant.

It took only more than ten minutes from the appearance of the demon to its departure.

And in these ten minutes, the Azure Cathedral Square and the surrounding blocks were in ruins. The entire church square, except for the magic circle set up by the pagans, was intact, and the rest of the place was full of potholes. The broken archangel statues were mixed with various rubbles, and it was impossible to tell which piece was part of the statue.

There were still flames burning in some places, and black smoke was rising.

The palace knights and silver wings with angel wings were hovering in the air, looking at the desolate ground, and their hearts were gloomy... The church knights who survived by chance supported each other to stand up, not knowing what they should do now, not knowing whether the demons really left or would appear at any time.

This was the most serious loss suffered by the Azure Cathedral since its construction.

Outside the church, the empire's soldiers continued to stay in their respective positions, and the whole city fell into a low silence.

Everyone knew... a demon was in this city.

The cry sounded faintly, getting louder and louder.

Terror enveloped the city.

...

At this time, there was a farm in the western suburbs of Saroyang City. All the cows in the cowshed on the farm died, and the stench attracted flies to circle around the cows' bodies. There was an open grassland next to the cowshed, and there was a pre-set magic circle in the middle of the grassland.

In the middle of the magic circle, there were more than a dozen human corpses, including men, women, old people and children.

When the battle in the Azure Cathedral stopped, the ground within the entire magic circle collapsed instantly, and the flames that rushed out swallowed all the bodies used for sacrifice on it. Then the flames went out in a short time, and the sunken ground returned to its original state piece by piece, but the original grass on the ground was burned to ashes.

Two people wearing red smocks appeared on the black ground.

They were Ramses and his deputy who had just attacked the Azure Cathedral.

"Hahahaha..." Ramses, who had retreated smoothly, laughed out loud. The attack just now gave him the most perfect start in Saroyang City. Although the president only assigned him one deputy; although the Holy See of Goodness had a huge influence in Saroyang; although there were still many difficulties to face in establishing the Saroyang branch of Gazing into the Abyss. But what can I do... I have "Demons, powerful demons! Did you see... What temple knights, what church knights, what silver wings... In front of demons, they are all weak chickens..."

"My Lord Bishop..."

"This attack is very perfect. We have successfully let the entire city of Saroyang know of our existence. The next step is to secretly develop believers, accumulate funds, and build secret bases. As long as I give me time, I can definitely blow up the entire Azure Cathedral..."

"My Lord Bishop..."

"I have too many things to do in my mind, but the first thing we do is... find a place to rest."

"My Lord Bishop, there are a few people over there." The deputy finally finished speaking, and he pointed to a place not far away and reminded Ramses.

Someone?

"How could there be someone? Haven't all the people in the farm been killed?"

Ramesses looked where the deputy pointed, and sure enough, he saw a few people... eating around a dining table.

When did they get here?
