"I never thought of it that way."
Alice shook her head and said calmly, "We just want to survive. We've never thought of becoming enemies with humans. Why can't we put aside our hatred and live together in peace?"
Towards Adams' actions, aside from sadness, Alice didn't harbor a shred of resentnt.
Upon hearing these words, Stuart's mind buzzed, as if a certain heartstring was plucked.
Raphael sneered, "As long as you vampire demons live a day longer, humans won't have a day of peace."
"Calling us demons. And you?"
Alice said angrily, "Compared to us of the Alien Clan, your actions are even more vicious. The wails from the Divine Cleansing Place have never ceased for hundreds of years, with countless innocent aliens suffering your tortures day and night in that purgatory..."
"Divine Cleansing Place!"
Stuart's mind was full of doubts.
The Divine Cleansing Place is located behind the Hall of Light, the most special place on the Mount of Light, personally managed by the Tribunal.
Whether it's the Tribunal or the Divine Cleansing Place, Stuart had only heard their nas. Even with his status as the Starlight Knight, he had no right to enter.
Most strangely, in the Mount of Light, these two places seed taboo, and no one ever ntioned them.
Recalling those Tribunal mbers cloaked in Black Robes, exuding a chilling aura, Stuart felt very uncomfortable.
"What exactly are the Divine Cleansing Place and the Tribunal?"
The doubts in Stuart's eyes grew denser.
Hearing Alice's reproaches, Raphael shouted angrily, "It's what you deserve..."
"Enough!"
Hilde softly intervened, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.
As clergy serving the Holy Lord, losing one's composure and being shad to anger is simply a disgrace to the Holy Temple.
Raphael's face showed a trace of embarrassnt, and he stepped aside with his head lowered.
"And this sinner?"
Hearing Hilde ntion him, Adam quickly said, "Please let go. You've all heard what this witch said, right? This has nothing to do with ."
Earlier, Adam had sensed sothing was amiss, so after luring Alice here, he imdiately fled.
But before he got far, he was caught by a man in armor.
At this mont, Adam's only desire was to save his life.
"Miss Alice, although she has forgiven you, a sinner should be judged by justice."
With a slight lift of her lips, Hilde coldly delivered judgnt to Adam.
"No... you can't do this, didn't I follow your orders to bring this evil witch here? You can't kill ..."
Watching Adam's incessant pleading, Alice looked indifferent. She had already done her utmost.
But with the behavior of the Holy Temple, it's impossible for them to leave a survivor.
Adam wasn't the first human silenced by the Temple.
"You despicable people, breaking your word, this is killing to silence..."
Noticing Hilde's furrowed brow, Raphael urged, "Stuart, haven't you acted yet?"
"I..."
Stuart was taken aback. Although he held no goodwill towards Adam, he never intended to take his life.
"What are you waiting for! This is a Holy Decree personally issued by the Archbishop."
Seeing Hilde's impassive expression, Stuart felt a sudden chill in his heart, and then nodded expressionlessly.
A ten-centiter Holy Light Slash shot out, fast, accurate, and ruthless.
Adam fell to the ground with a thud, dead.
Looking at the wound on Adam's chest, Raphael nodded in satisfaction.
"With this, I haven't disappointed the Great God Palace's trust."
Although today's events felt abrupt to Stuart, in the end, he had taken this step.
Given ti, the Temple will gain a ruthless heretic slayer.
Hilde smiled lightly, "Miss Alice, are you satisfied now?"
Alice snorted coldly, "Haven't enough cris been imposed by the Temple? I don't mind one more."
"How can this be considered imposed? If it weren't for your seduction, how would this sinner have bowed to a demon?"
Shaking her head, Hilde added, "Then let's set off now."
Alice resolutely said, "You needn't think so. Even if I die, I won't step foot on the Mount of Light."
"That is not your choice to make."
At this mont, a puzzled voice ca, "What's happening here?"
Seeing the ghost floating outside the cage, Alice urgently said, "Mary, run away quickly."
"Alice, what happened?"
Mary looked around in confusion, just woken up, she understood nothing.
Alice shouted desperately, "Run!"
Falling into the hands of the Temple ant only one path for a ghost: to disperse and disappear.
Seeing the cage in front of her and Alice evidently imprisoned, Mary's face tensed, and she flew outside without hesitation.
Unlike Alice, Mary wouldn't hesitate under these circumstances.
"The news must be gotten out quickly, find soone to rescue Alice."
Thinking of this, Mary disregarded her soul power depletion and sped up.
"A re ghost!"
Hilde shook her head indifferently, her pure white eyes releasing a finger-thick milky white beam.
"Not good!"
Alice swiftly moved to block the beam.
The beam seed imbued with indomitable force, easily penetrating Alice's body and continuing forward with undiminished montum.
Struck mid-flight by the beam, Mary plumted from the sky, then wobbled as she continued flying onward.
Raphael ordered the two knight commanders, "You go stop her."
Hilde calmly said, "No need. Hit by my Holy Force Finger, it won't be long before she disperses."
Hearing these words, Alice's face turned ashen, "I'm sorry, Mary, it's all my fault, I caused this."
Alice knew well that Mary was just an ordinary ghost, utterly unable to withstand a casual strike from the Archbishop.
"Miss Alice, shall we go?"
Hilde smiled, "His Holiness the Pope has prepared a feast to welco the lady."
Stifling her sorrow, Alice expressionlessly said, "Why did you kill her?"
Raphael pursed his lips, "Just a re ghost, if killed, so be it."
"This is the Holy Temple's way, recklessly killing the innocent without distinction. How is what you do any different from executioners?"
At last, Alice let out a heart-wrenching wail, revealing two unique Blood Clan fangs, her long silver hair billowing without wind.
The once erald pupils were gradually shifting to silver.
When her pupils had fully turned silver, Alice's whole body seed coated with a thin film of silver, surrounded by a mist of crimson.
