The three of them had shown their powers at the same time. Constantine shouted, "It's an honor to work with the both of you! I'll be going first." He soared into the air after that, lifting his arms. A scorching ray of holy flame shot in Suelyn's direction with immense power. At the same time, Eileen cried out as she gripped her two swords, crouching low before she charged toward Suelyn as well. That was Eileen's special move, the Armor of Blades. Wilbur wielded his thunder cleaver and prepared to join the battle. Yet all of a sudden, the Sea of Blood rippled and no less than fifty monsters appeared out of nowhere, charging in their direction. These monsters were similar to wolves, but they were the size of a calf. With bodies made of raw bloody flesh, they bared their fangs at the trio. The Blood Wolves charged, heading for the three cultivators' backs. "Watch our backs!" Eileen shouted, continuing to charge at Suelyn. Wilbur had no choice but to turn around, fighting
Eileen scoffed. She hurled her swords outwards, and they flew through the air towards Suelyn. Suelyn let out a dull giggle. The blood sword in her grasp spun in a circle, forming an energy shield that knocked Eileen's swords away at once. Eileen's spirit energy exploded then, and she put her palms together. "Soaring Double!" The swords seemed to whip back under Eileen's command, attacking Suelyn from multiple angles at the speed of light. Suelyn let out a howl, oblivious to the attack as she launched an attack in Eileen's direction. Eileen was unable to move because she was casting the Soaring Double, and Suelyn's attack was about to hit her. Just then, Eileen cried out, "Shield!" The spirit armor on her body grew, forming a gigantic body of armor around three meters tall that protected her in the center. Suelyn's attack let out a deafening sound as it collided with the armor. The armor glowed with spirit energy as it deflected Suelyn's attack. Eileen's two swords w
Wilbur turned his spirit energy into a lightning bolt, channeling it into the blade of the thunder cleaver. All at once, the thunder cleaver lit up with a blinding spark of lightning. Wilbur looked right at the Blood Wolves about to pounce on him. The lightning strike exploded into countless bolts, striking the Blood Wolves. The wolves cried out in agony, turning to ash. The Blood Wolves that died from the lightning strike had no way of turning back to blood and returning to the lake of blood. That way, Wilbur would be able to slowly whittle away Suelyn's energy. At the same time, Suelyn's battle against Constantine and Eileen reached a climactic point. Constantine's halo shone as the angelic figures flew and the air, filling it with prayer. Ray after ray of holy light lashed out toward Suelyn between Constantine's shackled hands. Constantine had also begun chanting amidst his attacks. A ray of holy light shot through the Sea of Blood, shining down on Constantine and grea
"I see." Wilbur scoffed. He finally found out the blood lake's secret with the help of his Iris Veritas. Wilbur let out a cry and the thunder cleaver flew out of his grasp as he used his spirit energy to launch the cleaver into a powerful attack against the Blood Wolves. The seals between his palms shifted and morphed. At last, he put both palms to his chest and chanted, "Holy Wave of Thunder!" All that could be seen was a huge dark cloud condensing above the blood lake and beginning to shower the blood lake with countless bolts of lightning. However, under the pressure of Suelyn's Sea of Blood territory, the Holy Wave of Thunder was not very powerful. Wilbur scoffed. The Dragon's Crystal in him spun faster, and more spirit energy surged out from him. With the support of the Dragon's Crystal, the Holy Wave of Thunder grew in size, looming over the blood lake completely. Thick bolts of lightning struck the blood lake, and the surface of the lake began to bubble as it evapo
All at once, the lightning bolts coming from the Holy Wave of Thunder turned red as the power of the lightning strikes grew in power. The lightning bolts struck the blood lake mercilessly, making the blood in it boil and evaporate. Within just a few minutes, the lake had dried up. Suelyn let out an agonized cry, her gigantic figure beginning to shrink as her power waned. Just then, Eileen roared sharply as ten thousand swords soared through the air and pierced right through Suelyn. Suelyn whipped her sword around, trying to deflect Eileen's attacks, but a good number of Eileen's swords still pierced through Suelyn's body. At the same time, Constantine's holy flame seared a huge hole in her waist. Suelyn swayed as she collapsed, her body shrinking quickly. She finally looked like a human being, lying on the ground unmoving. The Sea of Blood's barrier disappeared as Eileen and Constantine heaved a sigh of relief. They turned around and walked up to Wilbur. The three of th
Eileen's expression darkened as well. Yet she gathered herself quickly enough, flashing a smile. "I was just joking! Come on, I don't even really care about stuff like this. You can have it if you want." Constantine sneered coldly, turning around. Wilbur barked out a laugh. He leaped into the lake and scooped up the Blood Embryo, then tossed it into his demiplane before returning to shore. The three of them then walked up to Suelyn. Suelyn had returned to her original form, a slender woman with stunning features. Her face was pale, however, and wounds littered her body. She was on her last breath. "She's still alive?" Eileen exclaimed. Constantine sighed. "She won't be for much longer." Just then, Suelyn looked at the three of them as she flashed a pained laugh. "I'm finally free. Thank you." She closed her eyes after that, taking her last breath. Wilbur frowned at Suelyn's corpse wordlessly. Eileen said, "The Skull Cult's finally ended, and the remaining gangs un
The sun was almost out by the time Wilbur and Ryder made it back to Sealake Island. Wilbur took out the Strongwill Pill and swallowed it. The pill was good for strengthening his body so that he would not be overwhelmed by using too much energy and collapsing. Ryder went to his office and sat down in front of his computer. He opened a new document and began typing away. Not long after that, a report was typed up with its contents as follows: 'Sanctuary level. Possesses an enormous amount of spirit energy. Thunder-centric powers. Has some form of reddish special energy. Type unknown.' He sent the report out, waiting until it was delivered before deleting the record. He then opened up another file and began to report on the Skull Cult incident. … Over at a random hotel. Eileen took a shower and lay on the bed in her bathrobe. She took her phone out, flipping to a hidden photo album where she pulled up a picture of a man and a woman in their thirties. The man looked rathe
"Constantine. Cardinal of the Church of Holy Illuminati. Got into an argument with the higher-ups of the church five years ago and was even said to have battled fiercely against the judges sentencing him. He was expelled from the church by the Pope, but not stripped of his title and powers as Cardinal. He's been wandering the world after that and entered Dasha two years ago.""He was allowed to enter the country?""Of course. The Church of Holy Illuminati is a legal organization, and their members' identities are all legal as well. Constantine is a Sanctuary level cultivator, and we kept tabs on him at first. But nothing out of the ordinary really happened, and he's even been helping to heal and save people in impoverished neighborhoods. We stopped eyeing him after that.""Ah, I see. Alright. Thank you, Beverly.""It's just my duty, sir.""Bye.""Goodbye. I look forward to speaking to you again."Wilbur hung up the call, falling deep into thought. Neither of those two were ord
