Chapter 293: Chapter 291 Heavy Armor Soldier and Fire Dragon

Winston Town, in the Church of the Lord of Light district at the end of the main street, even as night falls, there are still many tourists about.

Right at that crossroad, a residential building suddenly caught fire, and while the firefighters were busy putting out the flames, billowing smoke rose, shrouding the night sky, and the fire also cut off pedestrians’ access to the Church.

The residents who were situated in the vicinity of the Church began to feel drowsy at this moment.

It didn’t last long before the lights inside the building after building began to extinguish, and the district where the Church was located was about to enter a deathly silent tranquility.

One after another, Barriers silently opened.

Enveloping a large area, an unforeseeable turn of events was about to unfold.

In the sky, the vague silhouettes of beasts, and on the ground in the darkness, creeping shadows, all seemed restless.

Transcendents, many Transcendents.

No matter which direction Tang Qi looked, the ghost light would spill from the depths of his eyes.

Unlike when facing the club before, these Transcendents were all independent entities, not like those mass-produced Transcendents known as “Polluters”.

Their composition, besides being related to the descendants of the thirteen ancestors, would be those who sneak into Winston Town for the “Divine Blood”.

Tonight, these Transcendents, surprisingly, had their eyes set on the Church unanimously.

Just when Tang Qi thought that the fire had broken out and the clearing was successful, and that they would make their move together.

Outside the window, not a single movement.

In the vagueness, an atmosphere of vigilance and alienation spread across different areas.

“Have they not formed an alliance, and just coincidentally chose today?”

“This isn’t quite right, what’s inside the Church?”

Tang Qi’s eyebrows slowly furrowed, the fact that these Transcendents chose the same time must mean that there was something inside the Church that they coveted immensely.

The Immortal Earl?

No, according to the prophecy, the Immortal Earl would return on Red Moon Day.

Even if the return location were to be the Church, which is the former Earl Castle, there are still six full days left.

These Transcendents shouldn’t be in such a rush.

After all, even if they were to seize the Church, what would it amount to? Without knowing how the Earl would return, even if they set traps, nobody knows if they would be effective.

So, what are they here for?

At the moment Tang Qi was puzzled, the first attacking squad finally emerged.

Boom!

Under the cover of the fire and Barriers, a silhouette that seemed to be made of “Paper Fragments” wobbled out of the dark corner of the street, inflating his body while he breathed, and it quickly became hard to see what he actually looked like.

Because he had turned into a meatball, a ridiculous yet terrifying meatball; on the front of its skin, a mouth, eyes, and nose emerged, ludicrous to behold.

But when this meatball rolled toward the Church with a “thunderous rumble,” the mad shaking of the ground made it impossible to laugh.

The magnitude of the vibration, the exposed power, could probably smash the entire Church to smithereens.

Buzz!

Behind the meatball, about several shadows emerged, closely following it, clearly in the same group; they planned to use this assault to enter the Church directly.

“The weakest party takes initiative, intending to grab and flee amidst the chaos?”

Tang Qi, in the dark, took a rough look at the several forces surrounding the Church at the moment.

The ones currently charging are probably part of those wild Transcendents who came for the “Divine Blood,” and they’re the reckless portion.

The other parts, no doubt, are peering from the shadows.

In addition, illuminated by the moonlight, Tang Qi saw two distinctly separate groups of Transcendents.

According to intelligence obtained from the Witch Group, these two groups probably belonged to the Immortal Council and a loose Alliance composed of seven descendants of the Ancestors.

The true Ancestor Descendants, due to the curse, couldn’t approach Winston Town.

But to control the situation and find the ‘Daughter of Destiny’, including the Witch Group, all found their own spokespersons.

The Merada Witch Group placed a Professional Level Tree Demon in charge.

The other Ancestor Descendants did similarly.

And for safety, to avoid betrayal, the spokespersons that the Ancestor Descendants put into Winston Town are all powerful Transcendents highly related to their families, but without blood relations.

At this moment, the two large groups separately occupied the sky and the ground.

The meatball and several reckless Transcendents currently charging were like insects in a crack, they couldn’t even pass the Church’s test.

Accompanied by a “boom~crackling” sound, the tightly closed Church doors swung open. Contrary to expectations, no throngs of priests or Church warriors awaited in defense.

On the contrary, the only thing that came out from that portal was a single silhouette.

A dazzling, terrifyingly formidable silhouette!

That was a Heavy Armor Soldier, clad entirely in a massive silver-white armor; as heavy and immense as a “Mechanical Warrior” described in science fiction novels, his armor was intricate and ornate, engraved with Light symbols.

In his hands, he held a large blade that resembled “Jason’s Great Chopper” in shape, but completely different in spirit.

He was radiating light, dangerous yet soft light.

As if he were the guardian of Light, arriving in a world filled with pollution and filth.

“Boom”

“Hisss”

The Heavy Armor Soldier’s charge?

No, that scene never materialized either.

What all the watchers hidden in the dark saw was the Heavy Armor Soldier, arriving ahead of the rolling meatball phantom-like. His great blade slashed down, the meatball split into two halves rolling and deflating, turning into two falling Paper Fragments, and the momentum that would have crushed everything dissipated.

Several following Transcendents screamed in attempts to flee, but unfortunately, they were far too weak in front of that Heavy Armor Soldier.

The great chopper swung, unleashing a storm that shattered several Transcendents into countless light points.

In front of the church, silence fell anew.

All the Peeping Toms, including Tang Qi, thought the same thing.

“Do the Lord of Light’s Believers always kill people in such a beautiful manner?”

Tang Qi seriously recalled the previous Sith, and indeed, it seemed to be the case.

Beautiful, yet extremely horrifying.

Intense scrutiny focused on him.

A strong ghost light emerged, and a special picture slowly formed.

[Extraordinary Creatures: Bright Heavy Armor Knight.]

[State: Normal.]

[Information Fragment One: Once one of the soldiers that the Bright Church used to wreak havoc during the Dark Age, even within the complete Light Army, they were a very special existence. Each soldier donning the heavy armor would enter a Mysterious state, able to completely break through their limits, with the degree of enhancement depending on the soldier’s Devotion.]

[Information Fragment Two: Without a doubt, this is a Monster Level strong one. Facing him, the Professional Level is just the foundation.]

[Information Fragment Three: He almost has no weaknesses, whether it’s mental or physical attacks, it’s very hard to penetrate that suit of heavy armor.]

…

“Buzz”

Tang Qi’s expression turned solemn.

Unconsciously, he simulated in his mind what the outcome would be if he entered the fray and battled with him.

The answer was, unknown.

Tang Qi did not believe he would die like those reckless Transcendents, but he was also clear that even if he went all out, he might not necessarily be able to defeat him.

Similarly, feeling the situation to be thorny.

There were also Transcendents hiding in the shadows, who came with “ill-intentions.”

Who would have thought, that such an unimportant place as Winston Town, would actually see the appearance of a “Bright Heavy Armor Knight”?

Is the Bright Church’s power recovering so quickly?

As the Transcendents faced tough choices, a deep voice emerged from beneath the helmet, seemingly tightly sealed, engraved with Angels and Light.

At a special frequency, it penetrated the ears of all conscious Life Forms in the area.

“To defeat me, is to have the qualification to enter the land bathed in the Master’s Radiance.”

“The names of the Defiers will ascend the Judgement List.”

Two simple and crude sentences laid out the Church’s stance.

This Heavy Armor Soldier, like Jason and the Divine Detective duo, probably came to watch over due to the sudden events of the Immortal Earl, the curse, the Daughter of Destiny… dispatched temporarily from the Secret Phoenix Church.

Unlike the Main Church, which is full of strong ones, the Secret Phoenix State is just a sub-church, and also has to deal with other Transcendent events. A single Heavy Armor Soldier represents the ultimate they could send.

And a single Heavy Armor Soldier, obviously couldn’t stop the actions of forces like the Wild Transcendents, the Immortal Council, and Seven Ancestor Descendants.

But incidentally, the Winston Town’s church was once the “Earl Castle.”

That meant that conflict was inevitable.

To avoid tarnishing the dignity of the Church, this was the best way.

The Church allowed outsiders entry, but the precondition was to defeat a “Bright Heavy Armor Knight.”

This was a test!

At the same time, it was also a warning!

Of course, the Transcendents could choose to ignore the Heavy Armor Soldier and launch a collective assault.

By then, no matter how strong the Heavy Armor Soldier was, he couldn’t possibly stop all of the Transcendents.

The Secret Phoenix Bright Church would certainly be humiliated.

However, this would mean that all invading Transcendents would end up on the Church’s “Judgement List,” typically reserved for heretics, Devils, and Evil Gods.

If nothing unexpected happened, all Transcendents would accept this.

Because they all know, the Judgement List of the Church across the Federation States is universal.

No, the Church lists of the entire Blue Star are universal.

That means, if listed, unless one flees to an Exotic Realm, there is not the slightest hope for survival.

Realizing all this, many Transcendents began to back down, not completely leaving, but stepping out of the fray, just lingering on the edge of darkness, harboring the same idea as Tang Qi, observing the battle.

Whoosh!

The external fire, instead of subsiding, had become increasingly violent, the black and red smoke almost obscuring most of the sky.

The church area, on the other hand, was deathly silent.

No one cared about the few Transcendent bugs that died earlier, everyone was waiting, waiting for the next true “Challenger” to appear.

And this challenger did indeed appear in the fastest and most unbelievable manner.

In the sky, a Beast Shadow that was originally nothingness gradually became real.

It slowly revealed itself, flapping its wings, struggling to hold up its bulky body; it had fiery red scales, and a head, body, sharp claws, and tail that were nearly identical to the legendary “Fire Dragon,” along with an overly large belly.

“Huff… Huff.”

The extremely heavy breathing came out of its mouth.

Is this a Fire Dragon?

No, as soon as the Transcendents touched those dull, soulless eyes, they all realized this was not a real Fire Dragon.

It is a flesh Puppet that appeared here to transport some sort of goods.

The “goods,” the next moment, arrived.
