The Duragang Empire, the capital, and St. Joel's Cathedral. It was late at night, and all the citizens who came to pray in groups of three or three to one day had left. Only relevant people from the Church of Holy Light were left inside the church.

"Great Lord, you are the Creator of all things, the Supreme God of this world..."

A blond man in a priest's robe with black background and gold edges crossed his hands on his chest, silently whispering in a tone of a chanting toward a tall statue of a father-like figure created in the main hall of the church.

A prayer ceremony. The skylights in the main hall and the stained glass in the side window dyed the lights and moonlight projected from the outside into hazy colors, illuminating the inside of the church, making the interior seem to be shrouded in a layer of blurred glow.

, for some reason, it seemed that a layer of sacred illusion light was exuded on the man's body.

“Τε——Νν——Λι——??”

Behind the man in black pastoral robe, two rows of gray-clothed pastors were neatly arranged, each kneeling on the cold and hard floor, holding hands with his hands closed, and finally sang in a low voice that had been passed down by the church for a long time.

Just singing can resonate with the Holy Spirit in your body and slowly enhance the Holy Spirit. The most important thing is to make the body and mind feel cleansed as if you can feel the glory of the great "Lord" in front of you.

As the hymn echoed, a ray of light appeared inside the church. An angel figure carrying four light golden wings appeared on the head of the man in black robe, and then a few light golden tiny like fireflies.

The light gradually emerged and spread out with it as the center, floating in the main hall of the church. Wherever it passes, all the unclean air in the air seemed to be cleaned up, leaving only the holy and peaceful atmosphere.

After this lasted for more than ten minutes, the chants gradually stopped, the phantom of the angel dissipated, and all the glimmers subsided, and the church once again regained the quiet and cold atmosphere.

"...May the glory of the Lord spread all over the world and protect your humble believers." After a last whisper, the man in black robe ended this routine baptism prayer.

Feeling the silent flowing of the Holy Spirit in his body, the man in black robe smiled with satisfaction.

Baptism prayer is a ritual activity that all members of the Holy Light Church regularly conduct. Even if they are not in the church, they will continue as long as conditions allow.

This ritual is not only a meaning of firm believers' faith to make it more pious, but it is also an auxiliary means for practitioners of the Holy Light Church to improve their cultivation. Through this baptism prayer that can resonate with the power of the Holy Spirit,

The monks can use this to temper and purify their own Holy Spiritual Power. Over time, the improvement they obtain is no worse than the practice methods such as "Spiritual Meditation" of other forces, and even because the Holy Spiritual Power of the monks in the church can obtain.

The effect of increasing faith is even better than most practice methods.

After dismissing the gray-clothed priests, the man in black robe left the main hall and entered the rest area behind. A silver armored knight came forward, lowered his head and half-kneeled and said respectfully: "Master Shular, Pastor Solei's

The heresy siege is back.”

"Oh? Remember he went to the slum, so what's the result?" The man in black robe, the man in Shura's nodded and asked.

"The mission of heresy attack has been completed. The heresy who is suspected to be a believer of the evil god has been erased, but..." The knight lowered his head and continued with a slightly nervous tone: "There are casualties on our side, and the eight knights accompanying the team have

Four people were seriously injured, their injuries were stable but they could not fight again in the short term, and there was also..."

"What else? Tell me." Shular looked at the hesitant knight and asked in a deep voice.

"Also, Pastor Solei himself also encountered an unexpected accident! He was suspected of being attacked by unknown enemies while fighting heresy and was still unconscious!"

"Wow?" Shular raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you just unconscious?"

"On the surface, but according to the surviving Knights of the team, the angel of Reverend Solei's contract was also severely damaged when he was attacked and had... returned to the kingdom of the Lord."

The contracted angels were all severely damaged and could not continue to appear and returned to the Lord's kingdom. What this kind of thing means is naturally clear.

"Lead the way! I'm going to see the current situation of Solei."

"yes!"

Accompanied by the Knight, Shular met the 'body' of Solei who was surrounded by two gray robes in a small room.

"You guys retreat."

After waving the two priests, Shular personally stepped forward and raised his hand and pressed it on Solei's body, which was motionless and seemed to be sleeping, but his expression was still left with a trace of pain. The fluctuations of spiritual power swept across his body.

The body is weak, but it still retains the minimum activity. There is no wound left by the suspected attacker on the body. There seems to be no sign of toxins and alien spiritual power in the body... etc., the spiritual power in the body suddenly riots and loses control.

And the traces left behind, especially the head... eh? Tsk, what is this?! The brain is completely dead!

This is not a coma! It is obvious that I can never wake up.

After carefully checking Sole's whole body, Shura's mind was guessed. He narrowed his eyes and instantly blessed his eyes with the magic of "Psychological Vision".

He looked at Solei's body again.

A few seconds later, Shular removed the "Psychological Vision", shook his head, and ordered to the knight and the priest who were waiting beside him, "Pastor Solei has gone after the glory of the Lord, and you can properly place his body.

Bar."

From these words, the others understood that the Pastor Solei had devoted himself to the Lord. A gray-robed pastor who was familiar with Pastor Solei asked, "Sir, do you want to prepare for a prayer ceremony?"

Prayer rituals are actually the relief of the dead souls used by the church members when burying the body. If the believers are pious enough to believe in the Lord, the souls of the dead will be led into the Lord's Kingdom of God during the ceremony.

As an excellent priest who can lead a team to carry out heresy crusades, Solei's faith does not require doubt.

Shular did not answer first, but closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds. He suddenly lowered his spell for a few breaths, then raised his hand to mark a cross on Solei's body, from the top of his head to the navel, and on both sides.

On his shoulder, the cross shadow emitting a faint golden light appeared in the air with the movement of Shura's fingertips, and then it was printed into Sole's body and disappeared.

After doing all this, Shular rejected the pastor's proposal.

"No need. Also, don't bury Sole's body for the time being. Send a team of people to send the body back to the headquarters, and then contact the superiors and ask them to inform the prophecy priests at the church headquarters to prepare for the "trace-chasing prophecy"!"

"yes!"

After hearing Shura's orders, all the knights and priests were shocked and knew that Shura's must have seen something.

Only the gray-robed priest who asked the question earlier had a hesitant expression.

Shular looked at the priest and easily saw his thoughts: "Are you wondering about my decision? Eli?"

When the ordinary eyes of Shura's well-like eyes were stared at, Pastor Eli was shocked, and he bowed quickly and replied respectfully: "I dare not! Since it is Lord Shura's decision, then it must be your wise decision!

”

Shular knew that Eli and Sole had some personal relationship, so it was not difficult to understand his thoughts.

"Oh, you misunderstood, Eli." Shular did not care about his rudeness and shook his head: "The Lord is merciful, and the Lord's grace will not give up any devout believer, and Sole will no exception!

Personally, I still admire him very much. His Holy Spiritual Art is one of the best in this investigation team. However, the problem is that Solei is now unable to go to the Lord's heavenly kingdom!"

Eli's pupils shrank: "You mean..."

"You can see it yourself." Shular no longer explained, but raised his hand casually, and a ball of inspiration appeared in his palm and slapped Eli's forehead.

Eli, who did not dare to dodge without permission, did not even have time to react, so he let the palm slap his forehead, and then he felt a stream of spiritual power penetrate into his head from that palm.

The next moment, Eli's vision blurred slightly, and when he recovered, there were already many things that he could not see on weekdays in the serious picture.

There were many light particles floating like fireflies and dust. The knights and priests around them all emitted eye-catching light like human-shaped light bulbs, and there was a sensation in everyone's body.

The amorphous spirit like a flame was floating slightly as if burning.

This is... "Psychic Horizon"?!

After thinking about the past knowledge, Eli knew why his vision had changed.

"Psychological Vision" is a high-level spell used based on spiritual power. It can be cast both with ordinary attributes and with holy spiritual power, but the difficulty of casting is not ordinary.

Eli knew this kind of spell, but he couldn't use it himself. At most, he could only release the "spiritual vision" which was lower than the "spiritual vision". Compared with the former, the latter can only be seen.

The rough flow trajectory of the spirit selves in the environment is not only inferior to the former in terms of exploration precision, but also cannot easily observe the state of the soul body like the former.

Compared to Eli, Solei has a higher level of magic. That guy can already cast the "Psychological Vision" spell, which is also the reason why Shular said to appreciate him.

Eli, who received this spell's blessing for the first time, looked at Shurael unconsciously, and then his pupils suddenly shrank. The next moment, in Shurael's smile, it seemed as if he was electrocuted.

Consciousness looked away.

Eli, who had a fine sweat flowed from behind, dared not look at it anymore. He took a few deep breaths to calm down his heartbeat, remembering the purpose of Lord Shular's blessing for his spell.

With a hint of doubt and curiosity, Eli looked at his friend's body. Then the next moment, he nipped his teeth angrily.

The purpose is a broken ball of soul fragments that are shattered and constantly overflowing, and have been broken to a point where only one fifth of the size of a normal human soul body is left.

Vaguely, Eli seemed to be able to see his friend's dull face with a painful look from the broken soul body residue.

A light golden cross of light stuck to the broken soul body fragments, and a layer of warm light shield emanated from the light cross to wrap the soul body fragments, like a box, placing the soul body.

The overflowing debris was confined within the range of the light shield.

Eli was not unclear about what the sight of his eyes meant, so he felt angry.

Pastor Solei's soul has been broken and almost dissipated without any trace. At present, only a few fragments of the soul body are left!

Moreover, if there was no such layer of shield that should have been constructed by Lord Shular, within half an hour, Sole's soul body would have been completely broken and not even a piece of fragment was left.

After seeing this scene, Eli also understood why Lord Shular just now said that there was no need for a prayer ceremony, and why Pastor Sole was unable to go to the great Lord's heavenly kingdom of God.

——It has been broken like this. I am afraid that Solei has no more personality consciousness. What remains now is just a little fragment of residue!

"Such injuries and states... was the attack suffered by Pastor Solei affecting the soul?" Gripping his teeth, Eli said with anger: "Is this technique... a damn demon species?

”

Shular sneered on the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, but there was a coldness: "It was not necessarily the devil's work, maybe it was done by some unknown guys, after all, no one can be sure of those

What are the abilities of heretics? I remember that the target of Pastor Solei's leadership of the team this time was a worshiper of a newly emerging heretic god? However, with the devil's habit of playing with the soul, their suspicion is the greatest

.”

After ordering the knights to guard the guard, Shular left the room where Solei was placed, and then sent Eli to find the surviving knights who had been carrying out the heresy crusade mission with Solei during the day.

"Mr. Shular, what are your instructions?"

"Well, describe all your experiences today to me, especially the past when Pastor Solei was killed. Remember, don't miss any details!"

After listening to the descriptions of the knights in person, Shular sat on the chair, closed his eyes and analyzed it, and his fingertips habitually tapped the armrest.

"Is there a heretic god who claims to be a 'dream'... and there are already strange elemental creature summoning spells that have never seen before, which can keep up with the two winged angels of the level for a short time? Interesting..."

"It seems that our heresy campaign has stimulated some mice in the secret recently. Can't I help but act?" Shular, who was talking to himself, had a hunting sneer on the corner of his mouth: "But that's better

Ah, I’m afraid you will never show up! It’s been almost half a year, and if it continues without any gains, I’m a little tired of it!”

“Eli.”

"Please give me instructions." Pastor Eli bowed forward.

"You go and arrange it, mobilize our personnel, and increase the investigation of the recent new heresy beliefs in the empire, especially the traces of this heretic god named 'Dream'. Since the other party has emerged this time

, I guess I won't continue to hide it in the future, I will always be exposed... Hum?"

Before the command was finished, Shular's eyebrows and eyes suddenly thrust, and his face changed slightly.
Chapter completed!
