Chapter 805: Chapter 500: Who is the Leader of the Demon Believers?_2

Sage Lis had directly faced that Demon Prince during the catastrophe at the Elf Royal Court; it was unlikely he would tolerate these followers of the Abyss Demons.

Perhaps that was why he appeared in the midst of Acot City!

Felix felt as though he had grasped sothing, and a bit of the worry in his heart dissipated.

Regardless, with such a powerful entity present, one’s heart could not help but feel more at ease.

However, when confronting Hozia, Lis did not take action directly.

In front of Felix, the white Little Bat that had just been on Lis’s shoulder suddenly transford into a white-haired young girl, wielding a giant scythe disproportionate to her petite stature and attacking Hozia with ferocious speed.

The previously terrifying Hozia was driven back step by step in the face of this girl, completely unable to retaliate.

The Demon Power surrounding his body seed to matter little to the white-haired girl, who easily brushed it aside and continued her assault as if it were nothing.

Soon, Hozia was sprawled on the ground, unconscious like a dead pig, with black and red blood seeping from his wounds, void of any strength to resist.

Lis shook his head; if the Demon Power had co from other Abyss Demons, perhaps it would’ve lasted a bit longer against Angela, but it was futile against the one from Benfica.

As long as the opponent was not of Legendary Rank, they were no match for Angela’s Bloodline Power.

As a Divine Child of Cain, Angela’s Bloodline Power was far stronger than that of the regular Blood Clan, gradually revealing the grace befitting a Divine Son.

After confirming that Hozia lacked the strength to struggle, Angela also propped up her scythe and stood to the side, covering her mouth with a small hand as she yawned.

For her, such a battle truly lacked any challenge.

Apart from battle, only Lis and tasty food could spark her interest.

Felix, standing aside, looked at Angela in astonishnt, specifically at the giant scythe in her hands.

What he had witnessed today shocked him more than anything he had encountered in the past few years.

Lis paid no mind to Felix and stepped forward to the side of Hozia, who lay between life and death.

A hand touched Hozia’s forehead, and Magic Power flowed from Lis’s hand, spreading slowly and with great precision into the soul buried deep within Hozia’s mind.

Felix noticed Lis’s actions and recognized it as so sort of soul magic capable of forcibly reading mories.

Because this particular magic could potentially damage the soul of the one being used on, it was also a type of evil magic banned by the Church of the Gods.

However, Felix didn’t speak out to stop it; he wasn’t like those young paladins with a one-track mind, and turning a blind eye to such a degree was no issue for him.

The most crucial point was that the mories being read belonged to a follower of Demons; Felix didn’t care in the least if their soul was damaged.

Moreover, it wasn’t as if the Church would condone such acts; the Judgent Court was replete with dark deeds.

All of Lis’s attention was focused on controlling the magic, carefully manipulating his Magic Power to avoid triggering any potential disturbances to the soul.

This wasn’t because Lis was kind-hearted; it was a necessary asure.

As he suspected, Lis found special restrictions within Hozia’s soul, guarding his mories.

The current operation was akin to tightrope walking for Lis; a single misstep could trigger the restrictions and lead to the collapse of Hozia’s soul.

Fortunately, Hozia’s Soul Strength was not high, so Lis still had so room to maneuver and skim through the mories.

An unspeakable silence filled the room; everyone stood quietly, waiting for the final outco.

Suddenly, Lis’s body trembled, he opened his eyes and stood up.

“Ah!”

“No!!!”

Hozia, who had been in an unconscious state, suddenly widened his eyes as black and red evil flas burst forth from his orifices, quickly engulfing his entire body.

Hozia’s screams lasted but a few monts before they quieted down.

The Gold-level Warrior who had just lain on the ground had now completely vanished, leaving behind only specks of black ash to prove his forr existence.

The soul had utterly disintegrated; Hozia had indeed disappeared entirely from this world, not even granted the chance to fall into the Abyss and beco a Demon.

Lis let out a long sigh; the operation just now was far more exhausting than any battle before.

Although he had acquired a wealth of knowledge and experience in soul magic from the Elf Country Tirion and Azela Floating City, and had practiced a few tis, this was his first practical application.

It was a near miss; he had inadvertently triggered the restrictions in Hozia’s soul, but fortunately, the information he gleaned from the mories was sufficient.

With that thought, Lis turned to look at Felix standing to the side.

“There is good news, and there is bad news, Bishop Felix, which would you like to hear first?”

Bishop Felix looked at Lis sowhat helplessly; he hadn’t expected Lis to play coy at this ti.

“Then let’s hear the good news first.”

“The good news?”

Lis had an inexplicable smile on his face, as if he had stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip.

“The good news is that although we haven’t found all the demon believers related to Hozia, I have discovered who the leader of the demon believers within the Bolin Kingdom is.”

Bishop Felix nodded. This was indeed good news, but he wasn’t too surprised.

After all, as the leader of the Acot City Guard Army, Hozia’s standing within the demon organization should be quite high, and finding out the identity of the leader wasn’t strange.

Could it be the Benfica ntioned earlier by Lis?

Bishop Felix had never heard this na before, but since they could grant demon power, they must also be an important figure.

“What is the bad news then?”

For so reason, seeing the smile on Lis’s face gave Bishop Felix a bad premonition.

It was as if a significant trouble was about to co knocking.

“The bad news is, the na of that leader is Elwin.”

“Elwin Polin!”

That na sounded familiar…

Wait a mont!

Polin?!

“Damn it!”

Bishop Felix quickly rembered what that na signified.

It was the na of His Majesty the King of the Bolin Kingdom!

The King was a demon believer??

Bishop Felix felt a sudden chill surge through his body, his throat dry.

“Lord Lis… are you sure?”

It wasn’t that Bishop Felix was unwilling to believe it; it was just that the situation was too shocking.

If the news that Hozia was a demon believer had made Bishop Felix feel endangered, from any perspective, he didn’t want to see His Majesty the King as the leader of the demon believers.

If this were true, it could be devastating for the entire Bolin Kingdom.

“Impossible, the Church of the Gods has always invested strong protective power on His Majesty Elwin, even carrying out Divine Power Blessings periodically.”

“If His Majesty the King was a demon believer, he should have been discovered a long ti ago!”

Bishop Felix quickly cald down, panicking now wouldn’t be of any use.

He wasn’t refuting Lis but considering the possibilities.

“Of course, Divine Power Blessing is supposed to be infallible.”

Lis nodded slightly. This was one of the tacit agreents between the Church of the Gods and the Human Kingdom, as well as a crucial safeguard for the Church to maintain the order of the Human Kingdom.

“What if His Majesty the King did not receive the demon power?”

“This…”

Bishop Felix said, sowhat puzzled.

“If he did not receive the demon power, there shouldn’t be any issue with accepting the baptism of the Church’s Divine Power, and even if the Camp Detection Divine Skill shows a shift in the King’s allegiance, the Church wouldn’t take it too seriously, right?”

Lis walked to the window, looking at the Bolin Palace in the distance, still brightly lit under the night sky, and said with a smile:

“If His Majesty the King was promised that, at the end of his lifespan, he could transform into a high-level demon to extend his life, how do you think he would choose?”

Bishop Felix suddenly stood there in a daze, recalling the usual conduct of His Majesty the King, and suddenly he found himself unable to say a word.
