Chapter 417: Chapter 172: Capturing the Church

"What the hell is going on?" Dada stirred her magic power to expel the alcohol from her system, her eyes radiating intelligent brightness - clearly a smart and clever girl, though her tolerance for liquor... seemed to be lacking a bit.

"Disaster Church has kidnapped the empire’s civilians, attempting to use them to summon the will of powerful beings and seize control of the Divine Grace plane." Lu Hong briefly summarized the situation, given the urgency of time.

Dada’s expression grew solemn; closing her eyes, after a moment of sensing, she pointed to a collapsed civilian house: "Bring me the Disaster Church seal from inside."

Lu Hong quickly returned with the gray-white seal and handed it to Dada.

Dada glanced at Lu Hong, "Back off a bit."

"Okay." When it comes to professional matters, obedience is key.

"Everyone back off, don’t blame me if this goes south." Dada manipulated the spatial magic power, moving everyone far away from the center of action.

Taking a deep breath, Dada summoned her magic wand, tapped it on the seal, and continuously poured her spatial magic power into it.

Having just advanced to the Third Transition, Dada’s internal magic power was still unstable, making it inevitable that some accidents would occur while she attempted to track down the space church.

For example, a sudden spatial turbulent flow.

Fortunately, Dada had set up a magic defense in advance; being covered in dust was better than the alternatives of serious injury or death.

"Are you alright?" Lu Hong asked with concern. If one attempt failed, they could try a second, but if the professional were gone, everything would be lost.

"Shut up!" Dada’s face turned ashen. To trace the coordinates in reverse, her Divine Soul was rapidly depleting, and she was on the brink of collapse.

"Come out!" Mustering all her strength, Dada yelled, and the gray-white seal expanded, finally bursting open and transforming into a portal over six feet tall.

"Huff, huff~" Dada’s legs weakened, and she started to fall backward.

Luckily, Lu Hong was quick to catch her: "Are you alright?"

Dada rolled her eyes: "Do I look alright to you? Stop the nonsense, hurry up, get the space mages to infuse the portal with magic power to ensure stability."

Questasa nodded, without further words, the space mages amongst the Black Guards stepped forward to stabilize the distorted portal.

Soon, a large group of Black Guards gathered in front of the portal, awaiting Lu Hong’s command.

"You rest well, there are other planes for you to track later."

"What? You want to drain me dry?!" Dada’s eyes widened. "I’m not Vili; another attempt would literally kill me."

There was no time to argue with her now, the space church needed to be dealt with first.

Laying Dada down, Lu Hong summoned the Blood Holy Sword: "Gentlemen, are you ready?"

Without waiting for a response, Lu Hong stepped into the portal first.

The Disaster Church adepts weren’t fools; sensing an unusual spatial disturbance, they had set an ambush.

The moment he passed through the portal, Lu Hong unleashed the Blood Qi Shockwave, an all-encompassing offensive skill that completely disrupted the ambush plan of the Disaster Church devotees.

"Damn it!" A Third Transition member of the Disaster Church cursed under his breath: "Everyone retreat into the church!"

The devotees surviving under the Blood Shockwave covered their chests and scrambled into the Gray-White Church behind them.

Simultaneously, Questasa charged in with the Black Guards.

"Are you alright?" Questasa asked, his voice filled with concern. "Why did you rush in there alone? If you had encountered,,,,,,,,,"

Looking at the bodies strewn everywhere, well, the danger had passed.

"They’ve all entered the church." Lu Hong pointed to the strange church behind him.

Questasa looked up at the church; it was quite eerie, with gray-white walls and countless fierce and grotesque demonic sculptures that seemed lifelike, as if they could snatch away souls.

"Surround the church first!" Questasa commanded sharply, and the Black Guards sprung into action, sealing off the surrounding area tight.

Lu Hong looked around, contemplating how to attack.

Questasa meanwhile had ordered a large siege machine brought in, which was assembled in less than three minutes.

"Wait." Lu Hong stopped Questasa. "If they’re holding up inside the church and haven’t acted, they must be relying on something. Be very cautious when we launch the assault."

"I understand." Questasa nodded and then gave the order.

The large siege machine was activated, its artillery shells charged with magic power and ready to be launched.

"Siege engine one ready!"

"Siege engine two ready!"

"Siege engine three ready!"

"Siege engine four ready!"

"Fire!"

Instantly, four basketball-sized projectiles slammed into the church, and at that moment, the sculptures on the church walls came to life, bursting through the stone and devouring the magic shells.

"Brace for impact!" Questasa’s face turned grave; these creatures weren’t to be trifled with.

Indeed, there were at least ten thousand church bas-reliefs, meaning tens of thousands of unidentified creatures were hungrily lunging towards Lu Hong and the others.

"Blood Transverse Sky!"

Lu Hong mobilized his Qi, and a Blood River hung upside down in the spatial rift, scattering the creatures.

"Kill!" Relying on the sharpness of the Holy Sword, he split the creatures before him in two: "Don’t be afraid; these things can be killed."

With Qi circulating around him, the creatures couldn’t get close. Fending off their onslaught, Lu Hong stepped closer to the church’s main entrance.

Heaven Slaying!

With the Holy Sword skill released, a massive blood-colored sword smashed down upon the church’s main door, the colossal sound exploding in everyone’s ears, making even the spatial rift tremble.

The door was incredibly sturdy; even a strike from Heaven Slaying couldn’t completely destroy it.

At the shattered entrance, terrified expressions of the Disaster Church worshippers could be clearly seen.

This meant one thing: the church’s protective mechanisms were only external.

"Don’t worry, I’ll kill you all." Lu Hong smiled at those inside the door, then turned to confront the frenzied creatures.
