Wilt Sislov.

He was a handsome man with long, dark green hair.

His slender frame was paired with a handsome and delicate face, and his eyes were filled with a harmless ‘kindness’.

However, this man who looked like a scholar gave Xiumu an indescribable sense of oppression! Appearing suddenly behind him, combined with that terrifying eighth tier aura and the suppressed scent of blood within it, Xiumu felt as if he were facing a formidable foe. His entire body began to tremble.

Judging by the respectful gazes of the nearby members of the Divine Punishment Holy Church, this man was undoubtedly their leader.

Was he a Bishop of the Divine Punishment Holy Church, or perhaps their Cult Leader?

Regardless, the man before him was definitely an enemy.

Realizing this, Xiumu’s water-attribute power erupted from his entire body. In the next instant, he spun around, surrounded by surging sword energy, and swung the sharp blade in his hand toward the man’s head.

“Sigh…”

Faced with Xiumu’s attack, the green-haired man merely smiled faintly. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and, with lightning speed, struck Xiumu’s abdomen with a single punch.

“BOOM!!”

Accompanied by a world-shaking roar and a violent discharge of energy, the dense azure battle aura gathered around Xiumu’s body abruptly shattered. His protective battle aura and solid armor were both pulverized by the man’s casual punch.

The terrifying impact struck Xiumu’s physical body.

Unbearable pain flooded Xiumu’s mind, causing the battle-hardened Marquis to let out a piercing wail. The power gathered on his sword instantly disintegrated as he was sent flying backward.

Only after flying several hundred meters did Xiumu manage to regain consciousness and stabilize his posture.

However, as soon as he stopped, Xiumu collapsed to his knees due to the agonizing pain. A mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.

“Lord Marquis!”

Seeing this, Mengxi hastily broke free from the attacks of several black-robed men and rushed to Xiumu’s side. “Are you alright?”

“I’m… I’m fine…” Xiumu answered while gasping for air.

Clutching the wound on his abdomen, the Marquis slowly stood up and glanced at the bracelet on his wrist, which had lost its usual luster. Xiumu couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. If not for the ‘Sanctuary Magic -Abir Crystal Force Shield’ stored within the bracelet, he would likely have lost all ability to move after that single strike.

‘Is this the power of the eighth tier? It is truly terrifying.’

However, the magic bracelet was now ruined. If he were hit by that guy again, he would be completely beyond saving.

Tightening his grip on his longsword, Xiumu looked up and watched the green-haired man warily. “Who exactly are you! What do you want!”

Faced with the standing Xiumu, a hint of surprise gradually appeared on the green-haired man’s calm face. He hadn’t expected Xiumu to be able to stand and face him again. After all, his previous strike should have been enough to cripple any seventh tier expert. Yet, this man could still get up?

‘Hmm? Was it that light from before?’

Thinking of this, the green-haired man’s gaze shifted to Xiumu’s bracelet, and his eyes narrowed slightly. ‘A bracelet that stores sanctuary magic? To think such a rare item existed here, no wonder…’

Heh, that fellow Benjamin’s intelligence was still insufficient. Well, it didn’t matter.

The green-haired man gave a cold smile. He didn’t continue his attack but instead bowed to Xiumu and Mengxi with aristocratic grace. “My apologies, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the Cult Leader of the Divine Punishment Holy Church, Wilt Sislov. It is a pleasure to meet you, Marquis Xiumu, and…”

“My dear Chosen Maiden~”

As he spoke, the green-haired man’s cold and fanatical gaze locked onto Mengxi, making her feel a chill run down her spine.

“Disgusting fellow,” Mengxi said, giving Wilt a look of pure contempt without hesitation.

Wilt waved his hand dismissively. He then scanned Xiumu and Mengxi with a playful gaze. “To be honest, I should thank you both.”

“What is there to thank us for?”

“Well, because the two of you are together, it makes things much more convenient for me~ This way, I don’t have to go looking for anyone else. I can sacrifice both target figures to the Demon God at once~”

With a faint smile, Wilt’s mouth curved into a gruesome and eerie grin.

In the next instant, after hearing those words, the surrounding members of the Divine Punishment Holy Church realized something was wrong and hurriedly retreated!

Just as they withdrew, a surging and overwhelming magic power pressure erupted from Wilt’s body like a volcanic explosion! The dark green magic power, like a howling grim reaper, sent an endless breath of death sweeping across all of Windward City. Even the citizens at the edge of the city felt a terrifying pressure from the depths of their souls at this moment.

If it was like that at the edges, then the Duke Marquis Mansion at the center of Wilt’s power was being hammered by an unprecedented atmospheric pressure. Houses collapsed, and all flowers, plants, and trees withered under the ripples of death. Even some members of the Divine Punishment Holy Church who failed to escape in time fainted under Wilt’s aura.

The entire Marquis Mansion had turned into a living hell, filled with the stench of decaying death.

Even Xiumu and Mengxi were forced to their knees by the immense pressure. They exerted every ounce of their strength to resist the corrosive aura surrounding them. In this state, facing Wilt’s absolute aura suppression, they seemed to have no chance of victory.

“Give up your resistance. I might be able to give you a quick death.”

“In your dreams!” Xiumu rejected Wilt’s proposal without hesitation.

“I see, then there’s no other way.”

As he spoke, a massive blood-colored scythe forged from black steel emerged from Wilt’s summoning array!

Under normal circumstances, Wilt wouldn’t need to be so serious to deal with a saint tier and a sixth tier expert. But to make up for the shame of his subordinates’ previous failure, he had to complete the mission this time. He could not disappoint the Child of God or the Demon God!

The Duke Family that resisted the Abyssal Demons must fall! The Chosen Maiden who threatened the Demon God must die!

He remembered the Child of God once saying that even if the opponent was weaker, one must not underestimate them, especially when facing the so-called ‘Main Character Group’!

‘As a boss! When you meet the protagonists, you must go all out from the start! Just kill them outright! Understand?!’

The Child of God’s crisp voice seemed to ring in Wilt’s mind again. Therefore, after a few brief pleasantries, Wilt unhesitatingly activated the corrosive array and summoned the ‘Soul-Devouring Blood Scythe’! He didn’t plan on holding back. He was going to kill these two immediately.

‘Black Death Scythe Prison – Soul Reaper!!’

After shouting the move’s name in his heart, Wilt violently swung the blood scythe in his hand.

In an instant, a fierce wind rose. Accompanied by violent wind pressure, crimson and dark green light converged before Wilt, transforming into wind blades filled with terrifying killing intent. They roared forward with destructive force toward the two people. Everywhere the wind blades passed, everything was corroded away.

Watching the incoming attack, Xiumu couldn’t help but hold his breath as an unprecedented sense of crisis filled his mind.

‘Damn it…’ After a curse, Xiumu stood up with all his might and shielded Mengxi behind him. Even in the face of such danger, Xiumu’s first thought was to protect the benefactor of the Duke Family.

The battle aura from his entire body continuously gathered into his sharp sword. Faced with this unavoidable and terrifying attack, the only thing Xiumu could do was mobilize all his power to take it head-on.

However, just as Xiumu showed a look of determination, the black cat that had been perched on Mengxi’s shoulder for a long time suddenly revealed a fierce look! It leaped forward, jumping directly in front of Marquis Xiumu.

“Meow!!”

‘Huh?!’

For a moment, Xiumu revealed a bewildered expression.

In the next moment, under Xiumu’s stunned gaze, thunderous light violently erupted…
