Chapter 304: Cult Leader? (2/2)

“Envoy of the new emperor? What the hell is that?”

Leah: “…”

John: “…”

In the briefest exchange of looks, both sides realized that they were mistaken as an awkward air swirled in the secret room.

“You were about to sacrifice the whole city!?” Leah then shouted. “I shall punish you for your grievous deed!”

“Woof, the traitors of the gods bark!” John shouted as well. “Stop me if you can!”

The two determinedly and cooperatively kept quiet as they moved on to the next stage—with John raising his right hand and snapping his fingers.

Darkness filled the room in a split second!

“What vile trick is this!? I can’t see a thing!” Marni cried out in surprise since his weird helmet weakened his vision in the first place.

“Nothing, he only turned off the Illum lights…” Edward replied, his vision still clear thanks to Happy Flames.

That being said, Happy Flames itself has a limit to its illumination-couple that with the fire dancing unsteadily on its tip, the shadows around them appeared to be wild dancing fairies, even though the cultists themselves were fidgeting around in confusion as well.

Nonetheless, when Edward eventually brightened Happy Flames to illuminate the entire secret room once again, John was already gone from his seat.

Right now, he had mixed himself into the crowd of cultists and changed his appearance.

How naïve, to attempt surrounding him with just three humans!

Being a serial criminal who wreaked havoc across the land, this was not the first time John Dhana had been surrounded by followers of orthodox churches.

Only

In fact, he was rich with experience on how to handle such situations.

‘Now, I just have to drive these foolish believers and stay with them as they make a break for the exit… even though those two younglings over there look weaker, they must be elites since they are brave enough to confront so many of us… on the other hand, although that clumsy heavy infantry looks powerful, his movements would be slow. The believers only have to knock them down for me to slip away…’

John’s mind moved swiftly as he planned his next move.

But he soon paled in shock when he found the youths standing at the opening of the wall and the steel bucket near the door turning simultaneously towards himself.

‘No way! How could they see through my disguise?!’

“A level thirty-two elite mixed amongst a bunch of level eight small fry? Do you think we’re blind?”

Hence, before John could react, the girl just now had dashed ahead of him and punched him viciously in the cheek with her fist that was surrounded with golden bolts of holy power, causing his face to cave in as teeth flew out!

That was such a horrific sight that Edward felt his teeth ache just by watching.
