Two days later, in one of the seven Grand Duchies, the Duchy of Bisli, Grand Duke Nehem Beige was praying in the largest Church of Light church in his duchy.
It was also the largest church found in the Duchy of Bisli, and contained several thousand white priests and knights of the Church of Light. Around the Great Hall, numerous disciples of the Church of Light carefully guarded the safety of Nehem Beige as he prayed inside.
As the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Bisli, Nehem Beige had a majestic statue. A follower of the Church of Light from the very beginning, Nehem Beige had vigorously championed the Church of Light in his duchy, making the people and nobles of the land believe in the God of Light and offer their sincere faith to the God of Light.
As a Sky Rider himself, Nehem Beige's strength was extraordinary. The Church of Light also sent many experts to protect him, while spreading the footprints of the Church of Light to every city in the Bisli Duchy. This made the people of the Bisli Duchy more accepting of the good fortune of the God of Light.
Nehem Beige was also a Templar of the Church of Light and had a fanatical belief in the God of Light. Every few days, he would come to this church in the Duchy of Bisli to pray, to feel the presence of the God of Light in this holy place, and to receive the divine energy that he could feel for himself.
As he kowtowed to the statue, Nehem Beige could feel the divine energy in his body slowly flowing. This kind of divine energy made him feel very comfortable. His devotion to the God of Light made him feel as if he possessed boundless energy.
Suddenly, Nehem Beige heard a strange sound. While carefully experiencing the holy energy of the God of Light, Nehem Beige could keenly sense that an evil energy was approaching. He immediately furrowed his brow, stood up, and said to Red Bishop Katos at a distance, "What's happening? It feels as if an evil energy is approaching.
Katos had been sent to the Duchy of Bisli by the Church of Light to spread the mysterious teachings of the Church. Katos was a devout follower of the Church of Light and a priest of extraordinary strength. But his expertise lay in understanding the teachings of the Church of Light. Like Nehem Beige, he had a feverish devotion to the God of Light.
"That's right. Who the hell is this reckless pagan? So bold and headless to come here and throw away his life!" Katos could also sense an evil presence approaching. However, Katos knew that the Church had countless rigid defences, so he paid no attention to the puff of evil aura.
"Oh yes, that's right. Even someone from the Church of Calamity wouldn't dare enter my Bisli Duchy. Any common pagan who dares to come here will meet his own death! Nehem Beige smiled faintly and agreed with Katos' statement. "Hehehe, the Church is very pleased with our achievements here in the Bisli Duchy. The next time we return to the Head Church, we will be able to get even closer to the God of Light, appreciate the boundless presence of the God of Light, and gain even more divine power!" Katos said to Nehem Beigh with a faint smile.
Although Nehem Beigh was the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Bisli, his private status in the Church of Light is below that of Katos. As a result, Katos didn't show Nehem Beige much respect and was very casual in his speech to him.
"Oh yes. Whenever I think of divine energy filling my body, I get very excited. It seems we have to work even harder. Ai. It is a pity that the great heathen named Bryan has disappeared for a long time. Otherwise, if we could kill him, our contribution would be enough for us to get even more divine power and holy water! Nehem Beige replied to Katos.
Katos forced a smile, shook his head and said, "I think you better stop letting your imagination run wild. Even Lord Blount couldn't handle this guy, so how could we handle him? This is not something we could get."
"Well, you can't say that for sure. Lord Blount is indeed powerful, but he was alone, without company. Although our strength is not as great as Lord Blount's, we still have the Duchy of Bisli on our side. Sometimes the power of a sea of people is greater than that of a single sacred knight. I think if we knew where this heretic was, we might have a real chance," Nehem Beige said ambitiously.
"Bang Bang..." Suddenly, violent sounds came from outside, like the rumble of thunder.
"Aaa.....aoo....." A pitiful scream suddenly came from outside the door. Accompanied by the endless miserable screams that shook the boundary of the Great Hall.
Nehem Beige and Katos glanced at each other, both wearing expressions of shock. They both knew how many experts were outside the Great Hall, and they also understood how incredibly hard the boundary was inside the hall. With every wailing sound they heard, they could feel the Light Barrier, which had been personally erected by the Light Sacred Magus Bordeaux of the Church of Light, shaking. Their hearts were filled with intense fear.
"Who the hell is that? This light barrier was set up by Lord Bordeaux himself, who could make it shake so much?" Katos said to Grand Duke Nehem Beige as his body shook along with those around him.
"I have no idea. Our people are being slaughtered. We must save them. The enemy must be very fearsome," Nehem Beigh replied, pulling some discoloured armour from his right side. With a grave expression on his face, he began to put it on.
"Plang!"
Suddenly, a crunching sound came from the top of the great hall. It sounded like a drinking glass being smashed on a rocky surface and shattering into pieces.
When Nehem Beige and Katos heard this crunching sound, an intense feeling of fear suddenly flooded their hearts. Nehem Beige, who was wearing a full set of knight's armour, suddenly cried out softly, "Good gracious! Lord Bordeaux's defence barrier has been breached!"
"What should we do? What should we do? The one who came has about the same strength as Lord Bordeaux. I'm afraid the two of us can't handle this person!" Katos said to Nehem Beige in an incomparably frenetic voice. His face had gone pale with fear.
"For now, we can only evacuate!" Nehem Beige was rather calm. When he had finished speaking, he stopped putting on his armour and hurried towards a side door.
When Katos saw that Nehem Beige was leaving without the slightest hesitation, he hurriedly followed behind Nehem Beige, wanting to leave the area quickly through the side door. He had long forgotten about saving the disciples being mercilessly killed outside the Great Hall.
A 'whoosh' sound was heard and the shadow of a man stopped just in time at the side door. He looked at them with a wide, dark, cold smile.
"You, who are you?" Nehem Beige stopped stiffly, looked at the imposing Han Shuo, and asked somewhat panickedly.
Nehem Beige had wielded the power of the Bisli Duchy for many years, and had seen countless military campaigns large and small. With that background, he shouldn't have lost his self-control in such a humiliating manner. But this time, when Han Shuo came over, those mournful, pitiful cries never stopped. Even the famous barrier of the Sacred Magus Bordeaux of the Church of Light had been broken. That really gave him a shock and he had forgotten himself.
"He is Bryan. I've seen his picture before. He is that big heathen!" Behind Nehem Beige, Red Bishop Katos of the Church of Light suddenly pointed his finger at Han Shuo and shouted.
"That's right. Hehehe. I think I just heard someone say that they wanted to kill me to gain divine power. This is very interesting." Han Shuo sneered and looked at Nemem Beige and said, "Where is Blount? As long as you tell me where Blount is, I will let you die comfortably!"
"Guards! Guards! Kill this heretic!" Nehem Beige suddenly shouted loudly. A shining long sword was suddenly drawn from his hand. The shining silver combat aura shot out violently, as if he had practised it well. It contained a divine energy within it. His behaviour seemed to be very astonishing.
The corner of Han Shuo's mouth revealed a hint of a cruel smile. He stared blankly at Nehem Beige as he charged forward until he was right in front of him. Only then did Han Shuo throw a not-so-urgent punch.
The berserk energy erupted and a heavy pressure, like a mountain, enveloped the whole area. Even Katos, who was far away, felt heavy in his heart and wanted to vomit.
Rumbling....
This blow from Han Shuo caused Nehem Beige's combat aura to instantly dissipate. The long sword was bent in an arc and fell to the ground. The remaining power entered Nehem Beige's body. A series of crackling and rattling sounds emanated from his body. After the sound stopped, the bones all over Nehem Beige's body shattered, but his internal organs remained intact and undamaged.
Han Shuo grinned as he arrived in front of Nehem Beige, stepping on Nehem Beige's chest with one leg, and asked unenthusiastically, "Speak, where is Sacred Knight Blount?"
"Pei! Heretic..."
"Krrrack!" Without waiting for Nehem Beige to finish his sentence, Han Shuo stomped on him with one foot. His mighty leg went straight through Nehem Beige's silver armour-clad chest. By the time Han Shuo withdrew his right leg, Nehem Beige had stopped breathing.
