Maru stared blankly at the scene before him. Even the eighteen Radiant Knights were stunned. They couldn't believe that the five white-robed bishops had died just like that.
This was especially true for the white-robed bishop who wanted to take something out of his chest. The white-robed bishop had a very deep background. Although the Radiant Knights didn't know what he wanted to take out, they knew that the white-robed bishop was carrying a magic item, a guardian ring.
The Guardian Ring was a relatively common magic item on the continent. This magic item was created by a magic array researcher. After a long period of research, they used a magic array to seal some Guardian Magic into the ring. The Guardian Ring was also divided into grades. The low grade Guardian Ring was a one-time use item. It was made of some special wood or stone and could only seal some low level Guardian Magic. It was relatively cheap and relatively common. The high grade Guardian Ring was made of alloy and could seal high level Magic. Moreover, it could be used repeatedly. It was a relatively precious magic item.
The white-robed bishop's father was a red-robed archbishop. He was an 8th Rank expert. In order to ensure his safety, he gave the white-robed bishop a high grade Guardian Ring. It could block five attacks from an 8th Rank expert without breaking.
But that poor ring couldn't block Cai 'er's attack. Cai' er was a 9th Rank expert. Her casual attack had the strength of a 9th Rank expert. Of course, the white-robed bishop's Guardian Ring couldn't block it.
The eighteen Radiant Knights knew the identity of the white-robed bishop. This time, the white-robed bishop followed them because he wanted to contribute. He didn't really want to fight, and he didn't think that he would die here.
It didn't matter if he died, but if he died, the knights wouldn't be able to live either. The white-robed bishop's father wouldn't let them go.
The eyes of the Radiant Knights instantly turned red. They knew that no matter what, they would die here today. If they died here, then their families wouldn't have any problems. They might even get some compensation. But if they went back alive, then their families would also suffer.
These Radiant Knights were all nurtured by the Radiant Church. The Radiant Church had selected talented children from childhood and began to nurture them. Therefore, their loyalty to the Radiant Church was unquestionable. Moreover, their detailed information was kept in the Radiant Church's archives.
It was precisely because of their loyalty that they wouldn't betray the Radiant Church. Therefore, they were very clear about the Radiant Church. They knew that the Radiant Church wasn't as glamorous as it looked. There were a lot of dirty things going on inside. However, they didn't dare to betray the Radiant Church. It can be said that these people were Knights in disguise.
The 18 Knights of Light did the same thing at the same time. They threw away their tower shields and stabbed their spears into the ground. They then pulled out their heavy swords from their saddles and chopped off their left arms.
Zhao Hai stared, he didn't understand what they were doing. Then Green loudly said, "Young Master, kill them. They want to sacrifice themselves."
Sacrifice was a Knight's special skill. Knights who use this skill were going all out. They offered their flesh and blood to the God of Knights in order to obtain a strength that was much stronger than their own. But after using Sacrifice, the Knight's life would come to an end. The strength obtained from Sacrifice could only last for an hour. After an hour, the Knight's life would disappear. Therefore, Sacrifice was also known as a suicidal skill.
Knights who used the sacrifice could generally gain power that was two levels above their own strength. In other words, these Knights of Light could reach the level of a level 8 Great Knight after using the sacrifice. On the continent, a level 8 Great Knight was already an expert. They were almost invincible under level 9.
Zhao Hai coldly smiled. He waved his hand and several vines drilled out from the ground and pierced the Knights' heads. The 18 Great Knights didn't even have time to make a sound before they died.
Although Sacrifice was very powerful, it still required a period of time to prepare. The 18 Knights of Light didn't even have time to complete the Sacrifice ceremony before they were killed by Cai 'er.
Zhao Hai didn't wait any longer. In any case, Cai 'er had already acted twice, so he didn't care if she acted a few more times. In a flash, Cai' er killed the rest of the mercenaries and the battle came to an end.
This didn't mean that the strength of these people was too weak, but rather that Cai 'er's strength was too strong. Even if the Knights of Light completed Sacrifice, they were still only Rank Eight experts. In front of a Rank Nine expert, a Rank Eight expert was too weak. Just like Green, a peak Rank Eight warrior, when faced with a Rank Nine expert like Buffy, he didn't even have the chance to fight back. These mercenaries and knights who weren't even Rank Eight couldn't possibly be a match for Cai' er, who was more powerful than Buffy.
Almost in an instant, Faith Mansion quieted down. Zhao Hai waved his hand and the undead picked up all the corpses. Then, Zhao Hai put them into the space. Of course, Zhao Hai didn't collect the living Unicorn and Moon Lion. He had to wait until Maru left before he could collect them.
After collecting the corpses, Zhao Hai turned to look at Maru and said, "Mr. Maru, we'll be leaving here soon. You should also leave. Since it's dark, it's best if you leave Casa City as soon as possible. The Radiant Church has suffered such a big loss, so they definitely won't give up. For a while, I won't be contacting you. If there's anything, just go to Stony Mountain and knock on the ground three times. Then, write it down on a piece of paper and put it in a room in Stony Mountain. I'll contact you when the time comes."
Maru took a deep look at Zhao Hai. He discovered that Zhao Hai really did have a lot of secrets. Moreover, his strength was beyond his imagination. However, he wasn't prepared to inquire. In any case, Zhao Hai had already joined the League of Black Magicians. The stronger he was, the greater the benefits for the League of Black Magicians. There was no need to ask. If he wasn't careful, he might end up offending Zhao Hai.
Maru took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright, then we'll contact each other later. Mr. Zhao Hai, if there's anything the League can help you with, don't hesitate to contact us. We're members of the League of Black Magicians in Casa City. If there's anything, you can look for them." After he finished speaking, he handed a small book to Zhao Hai. It was obvious that this small book had been prepared long ago. It was just that he took it out now.
Zhao Hai wasn't polite and took the small book. He nodded and said, "Alright, if there's anything, I'll definitely contact you. I won't see you off." Maru nodded and gave a salute to Zhao Hai. His figure flashed and disappeared.
Zhao Hai asked Cai 'er. Once he was sure that Maru had really left, Zhao Hai put away the carriage made of Holy Light Wood, as well as the Moonlight Lion and the Unicorn.
Then Zhao Hai turned his head to look at Laura. Laura also looked at Zhao Hai. She took a deep breath and seriously looked at Faith Mansion. Then she turned her head to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, let's start."
Zhao Hai nodded and tapped his staff on the ground. Then he took Laura and the others and disappeared from Faith Mansion's courtyard. As soon as they disappeared, Faith Mansion's ground began to shake violently. However, the shaking area was very small and didn't affect Faith Mansion's neighbors.
It didn't take long for Faith Mansion to collapse, with the exception of the surrounding walls, not a single building remained intact. All of the houses had collapsed. Laura's mansion really did have a secret passage, but under such a violent shaking, the secret passage had disappeared without a trace.
This was earth element magic, something that Zhao Hai and the others had discussed long ago. They did this in order to eliminate all traces. Although there wouldn't be any problems if they left through the Space, in order to avoid suspicion, they still had to destroy Faith Mansion. This was also the reason why Zhao Hai felt sorry for Laura.
After entering the Space, Zhao Hai first sent the Moon Lion and the Unicorn to the Ranch. Just as Zhao Hai brought the two magic beasts to the Ranch, a prompt was immediately heard, [Unicorn-Like animal detected. Evaluated as level 25. Can be raised in the Space. Maturation time: 36 hours. Gives birth every 12 hours. Total of 8 births. Animal digitized. Can be purchased from the Space's store.]
"Discovered a new type of mutant lion-shaped animal. Evaluated as a level 30 animal. Can be raised in the space. Maturation time: 40 hours. Gives birth every 12 hours. Total of eight births. Animal data. Can be purchased in the space store."
Can be raised in the Space.] [Due to the discovery of a new animal, the Space has met the requirements to upgrade to Level 6.]
Zhao Hai froze for a moment. To be honest, he wasn't surprised by the Space's upgrade. He just didn't think that the Unicorn and Moonlight Lion would have such a low evaluation.
Yes, in Zhao Hai's opinion, the Unicorn and Moonlight Lion's evaluations were a bit low. One must know that these two magic beasts were Rank 5 and Rank 6 magic beasts of the Ark Continent. Among magic beasts, they were already considered small experts. However, in the Ranch, their evaluations were only Level 25 and Level 30, which really wasn't very high.
The original animals in the Space's Shop were Level 25 Cranes and Level 30 Hippopotamuses. Although cranes could fly and hippopotamuses weren't weak, compared to magic beasts, they were far worse. How could the Space's evaluation of these two magic beasts be so low?
However, this idea only lingered in Zhao Hai's mind for a while before he stopped thinking about it. In any case, there were a lot of magic beasts in the Ark Continent. Once he levels up, he would be able to compare the animals in the Space's Shop.
What Zhao Hai needed to deal with right now was the bodies of the five white-robed bishops. These white-robed bishops were the core members of the Radiant Church, so they should have a better understanding of the Radiant Church. This information would be very useful for him. In any case, both of his identities had enmity with the Radiant Church. He needed to know more about the Radiant Church in order to know himself and his enemy.
