Chapter 440: Bloodbathing the Church (1/2)

GDK 440 – Bloodbathing the Church

Having witnessed the merciless murder of Sky Rider Nehem Beige by Han Shuo, the Red Bishop Katos of the Bisli Duchy couldn’t help take a few steps back, as the fear in his heart urged him to do so.

After shooting Katos a glance, Han Shuo moved towards him with great speed. Han Shuo had arrived in front of Katos before he could realize what had transpired around him. Han Shou stretched forward his mighty hand as fast as lightning and grabbed Katos by the neck, hanging him in midair.

“Kaff, Kaff! Damnit, what da hell do you want?” Katos blurted out with difficulty. He used both his hands to grip Han Shuo’s mighty hand, in a feeble attempt to ease the choking.

“Where is Blount located?” Han Shuo asked grimly as he held Katos’ neck with one hand.

“Ugh, ugh….I don’t know…..Really……” Katos replied, while his body was being hung in midair. He was twisting around with all his might, but unfortunately for him, he couldn’t break free from Han Shuo’s tight grip.

“Hehe, do you really think that I can’t do anything to you if you decide not to talk?” Han Shuo said with a grim smile. Shortly after he said that, Han Shuo used his empty left hand and pressed the top of Katos’ skull. Katos screeched miserably. Han Shuo exercised his five fingers, and forcibly stuck them into Katos’ skull.

With this, Han Shou used a secret technique derived from demonic magic called the ‘Soul Searching Hand’. Five strands of gray smoke flowed out of his left hand along fingers and into his meridian channels. It then passed through Han Shuo’s consciousness to obtain the memories stored in Katos’ mind.

Being on the receiving end of the demonic magic, Red Bishop Katos was wailing like a banshee while struggling wildly. It was as though he was suffering from the most dreadful pain on earth. That was the kind of yelling that never failed to make one’s blood run cold after listening to it.

Once ‘Soul Searching Hand’ was deployed, it will indeed produce an unimaginable amount of pain on the target whose soul was being searched. While performing the search, Han Shuo’s five fingers were in constant motion inside Katos’ brain. Such bouts of pain was not something an ordinary person could endure.

When Han Shuo used his secret technique to obtain the memories in Katos’ mind, a puff of divine energy in Katos’ body was immediately set into motion, rapidly converging at his forehead, attempting to resist and destroy the wicked energy within his brain. It’s a pity that divine energy such as this was too weak against Han Shuo. Before it could fully converge, Han Shuo broke it up swiftly.

Under the effects of ‘Soul Searching Hand’, Katos’ eyes revealed his lifeforce fading slowly, bit by bit. Moments later, his eyeballs rolled back and only sclera could be seen, and the inhuman shrieking disappeared. After his soul had completely vanished, he was left with a zero percent chance of being reborn.

After extracting his hand that was inserted into Katos’ head, Han Shuo pulled out a spotlessly white handkerchief to clean his fingers which was covered in brain juice, and cleaned out the mess that had made its way to his legs. Only then, did he calmly walk out of the grand hall.

Outside the hall revealed a multitude of bodies strewn all over the floor. The Temple Knights and priests present were simply no match for an expert like Han Shuo. They were destined to be slaughtered eventually. But following these events, even more members of the Church of Light were going there, coming from different directions. A legion from the Bisli Duchy, stationed not far away, was also rushing to the scene after receiving the news.

Han Shuo surveyed the scene from an elevated position, and realized that this trip to the Bisli Duchy could be considered as having achieved its objectives. One of the rulers from the seven grand duchies, Nehem Beige of Bisli Duchy, was killed. The largest church belonging to the Church of Light had been bathed with blood. The position of the Church of Light in the Bisli Duchy will be met with unprecedented challenges.

As for Nehem Beige, a Temple Knight from the Church of Light, Han Shuo had originally planned to control him by having a mystical demon possessing his body. However, Han Shuo later discovered that holy aura was present in Nehem Beige’s body, which had a world of difference in terms of nature compared to the mystical demons.

Only if Han Shuo could get rid of all the divine energy in Nehem Beige’s body, that the mystical demon could possess his mind. But if there was no divine aura within his body, the people from the Church of Light would very quickly suspect an abnormality in Nehem Beige. Therefore, Han Shuo had no other choice but to take action and kill him efficiently.

There were still other churches of the Church of Light in Bisli Duchy, but comparing those with this church, those churches are obviously not on par. Besides, Han Shuo didn’t have the luxury of time to clear all the churches of the Church of Light in Bisli Duchy one by one. Therefore, Han Shuo didn’t linger any longer in Bisli Duchy, and immediately deployed the Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens to fly away.

From Katos’ memory, Han Shuo had obtained a lot of useful information. Katos’ position in the Church of Light wasn’t a low one. Han Shuo learnt of valuable pieces of information from Katos’ memories, like the Church of Light’s position, distribution and secret forces who operated in the dark. The Church of Light was an enormous religious organization. But what set it apart was the armed forces of this religious organization, who were extremely terrifying. Other than the great number of Light Priests and Temple Knights regiments, the Church of Light has three organizations who work in the dark, namely, Heresies Tribunal, Holy Angels, and Grace Believers.

These three organizations, Heresies Tribunal, Holy Angels, and Grace Believers, were secret forces serving the Church of Light unbeknownst to anyone. There were numerous experts in the three organizations. Several secret operations from the Church of Light were usually carried out by these three organizations. Compared to the Temple Knights, whose strength was known to everyone, these three dark organizations are much more formidable.
