Chapter 143: Chapter 137: The Third Seal!
The Fischer family suffered heavy casualties, yet the loot they acquired was unprecedentedly enormous.
Two treasure-class mysterious rare artifacts, one forbidden-class mysterious rare artifact, as well as a Tempest Church’s sailboat, two servings of Class 3 Extraordinary Material, five servings of Class 2 Extraordinary Material, seventeen servings of Class 1 Extraordinary Material, and lastly, a considerable amount of Gold Coins and banknotes!
The excruciating pain disappeared, and Irene gradually regained consciousness, sitting in place very confused and disoriented.
She had always wanted to sacrifice herself and had prepared herself for it early on.
When the family faced a crisis, she was certainly the one who should have died, but why, why had she not died yet?
“Could it be, Lord of the Lost, that this is also your arrangement for me?”
Irene felt very lost, and it took her a long time to come to her senses.
Suddenly, she heard a malicious whisper in the depths of her heart.
[Their family possesses very special power, which may be related to the heretical cult. Should I report it to the Salvation Church’s teacher for an investigation…]
[If I don’t get that forbidden relic, my father died in vain, in which case, I will definitely report them to the teacher! Even if I guessed wrong, I still want to disgust them!]
Byrne finally controlled his grief and soon saw Baron Vaughn’s daughter step forward, asking for a share of the Sea God priest’s spoils of war.
“My father, the head of our household, died in battle, making the ultimate sacrifice! That powerful forbidden rare artifact should be handed over to the Vaughn family!”
Baron Vaughn’s daughter’s eyes were red, tears streaming down her face, and she demanded boldly without hesitation.
Who doesn’t lose people in their family?
Byrne wanted to curse, but his generous nature also made him understand the other party’s feelings, and after all they were allies in battle, so he just shook his head and said as calmly as possible:
“I’m sorry, Miss Vaughn, we can divide everything else with you, but that forbidden relic must be obtained by our family.”
Suddenly, Irene shouted sternly, “She’s going to report us! We can’t leave her alive!”
Byrne was stunned for a moment, looking at Baron Vaughn’s daughter in front of him, whose face quickly showed surprise and fear.
Irene possessed the ability of Listening for Malice, so what she said was absolutely true.
He suddenly felt a voice cheering loudly from the depths of his oppressive and angry heart!
It was as if it was saying, great, fortunately that woman from the Vaughn family thought this way!
What to do?
There was only one option—to kill!
“Wait!”
The atmosphere instantly turned tense, and Baron Vaughn’s daughter shouted nervously, just about to negotiate further when she felt engulfed in blazing fire, her body wrapped in orange flames, screaming in terror and pain.
“Ah!”
Before she could counterattack, Byrne’s icy voice was heard again.
“The night has come.”
Then a black light flew out from Byrne’s body, and in the next moment, “Nightfall” swept across her neck, severing her head.
The Vaughn family soldiers were terrified, instinctively grabbing their flintlocks to fire, while the Fischer family soldiers also opened fire.
Members from both sides fell.
The very next moment, the Vaughn family soldiers were enveloped in raging fire, screaming as they fell to the ground, and those who tried to surrender had no chance.
Byrne’s eyes were bloodshot, his expressionless face controlling the roaring flames, easily taking the lives of the people around him.
All the people from the Vaughn family were killed, not a single one was spared.
Irene busily treated Chris’s injuries, then the rest of the family members, mourning for Erik’s death as well.
Byrne sat exhausted on the beach, staring blankly at the horizon, without moving for a long time.
He was tired.
The Fischer family’s spoils of war increased once more, and after confiscating the Vaughn family’s spoils of war, they obtained another treasure-class mysterious rare artifact and two collectible-class mysterious rare artifacts.
Finally, a revived Chris found a letter on the Sea God Cult’s ship, hidden extremely secretively, preserved in a desk’s hidden compartment in a blank letter.
Byrne deciphered the letter’s material, then soaked it in seawater, as the words gradually revealed themselves on the paper.
After reading the letter, his expression changed.
It was a letter from “Priest Azure Blue” to “Sage Dark Blue,” and the most useful part read like this.
“Those witch worshippers and the bastards who like to look at stars make me sick, but I’ve already sent them what they want. I hope that after this matter, we no longer have any dealings with those people!”
Suddenly, everything connected!
“So that’s how it is, the three heretical cults were secretly in cahoots, and Madam Spirit Essence is also one of them. Hmm, there might even be people from within the Tempest Church involved in this transaction, resulting in the near-annihilation of the Cyart people.”
Byrne gazed far at Erik’s collected corpse, the anger swelling irresistibly in the depths of his heart!
Last Blood! Stars Embrace Order! Sea God Cult! Traitors from the Tempest Church!
They were all enemies of the Cyart people, and moreover, enemies of the Fischer family! They were all man-eating demons, and the Fischer family would eventually send them to hell!
The family’s soldiers continued to repair the ships on the beach, while the core members of the Fischer family gathered on the mountaintop, deciding to immediately offer the sacrifices they had just obtained.
