Chapter 887: Chapter 735: The Fifth Person

“Gods…”

“Requesting…”

The view before his eyes was blurry, and the sounds ringing in his ears were somewhat chaotic, only after a while could he barely make out a bit of something.

Xu Shuo’s thoughts were always clear.

It was just that his senses were not very clear.

After finding that he could not focus to clearly see and listen to his surroundings, Xu Shuo simply activated his skills, using “Bright Vision” and “Hole Hearing” to replace his eyes and ears.

Then he saw the situation clearly in front of him.

This was the temple of the Holy See of Light.

In the vast and magnificent golden temple, there was only a young girl kneeling on the ground praying with her eyes closed, facing his direction, with the Sun Crown glittering brightly on her head.

Then, as if sensing something.

The girl opened her eyes and looked towards him.

“Did you hear my voice? There is something both you and I overlooked, and now this flaw has erupted.”

She sighed looking in Xu Shuo’s direction.

This was the Holy Maiden of Light.

But at this moment, the Holy Maiden of Light’s white long skirt was stained with blood, bleeding from the center of her chest, a large red had dyed the golden white clerical long skirt, but it seemed to have stopped bleeding now.

Even with some disarray in her appearance, the Holy Maiden of Light remained calm and gentle, the surrounding lingering light making her appear even more holy and solemn.

Seeing this, Xu Shuo was about to speak to inquire.

But he realized he could not make a sound.

The Holy Maiden of Light seemed to know his condition too.

So she continued, “It was my fault, allowing a traitor to appear in the Heresy Tribunal, causing the Power of Faith in the gods to suffer from the corrosion of the God Fallers.”

As her words concluded.

Xu Shuo suddenly came to a realization.

That fifth person!

The fifth person, who had never appeared from the Royalty Faction, turned out to be lurking in the Heresy Tribunal under the Holy Maiden of Light!

The Heresy Tribunal is a special existence.

Similar to the Order of the Sun Knights under the command of the Pope of Light, the Heresy Tribunal only accepts orders from the Holy Maiden of Light. However, unlike the Order of the Sun Knights, the Heresy Tribunal bears countless blood and sins for the Holy Court.

The loftiness of the light has nothing to do with them.

The Heresy Tribunal is destined to lurk in the shadows, hands stained with filth, accompanied by blood and sin, like a rat rotting in the gutter.

If this state continues for a long time.

The soul will inevitably become distorted.

But with the presence of the Choir of the Holy Maiden, the Heresy Tribunal can also wash off the filth on their hands, just as light will inevitably illuminate the darkness.

Only the darkness illuminated.

Will also have a corner of shadows.

The Envoy of the Heresy Tribunal could not escape from this shadow, and after being seduced by the Royalty, he chose madness and eruption.

The drawback mentioned by the Holy Maiden of Light was exactly this.

But…

Xu Shuo was concerned not only with this.

If only the Heresy Tribunal, why would this situation arise on his side?

City of Light, or rather, the Belief in Light, must have something he was unaware of.

“You are thinking about the problem with the Belief in Light, right?”

The Holy Maiden of Light suddenly said at this time.

Xu Shuo looked down at her.

The Holy Maiden of Light helplessly said, “This is also something I don’t understand, it might involve the battle a thousand years ago, even possibly involving the true secrets of the God of Light, in any case, you must not abandon this City of Light.”

So, even when Xu Shuo took all the Holy Court’s army away from the City of Light, the Holy Maiden of Light had already guessed his intentions.

Only regarding this decision.

She did not care, that’s it.

Because their ideas were probably the same.

As long as the Royalty of the Saint Vlaro Empire was overthrown, then a new City of Light could be rebuilt anywhere.

And the reason she still stayed in the City of Light and did not evacuate, was merely to set an example, to appease the people here, to soothe the faith belonging to the Holy See of Light.

Moreover, the war might not necessarily reach here.

Now.

The Holy Maiden of Light was glad she hadn’t left.

“I have already activated the City Protection Array of the City of Light, but because the Statue of the God is damaged, the rampage of the Power of Faith makes it hard for me to hold on for too long. If possible, end the battle on your side quickly,” said the Holy Maiden of Light.

Xu Shuo did not respond.

He felt a murmuring whisper in his mind, akin to a prayer.

Simultaneously, scenes that had happened before in the City of Light also rapidly passed through his mind, although it was somewhat blurry like a played film.

Xu Shuo looked towards the Holy Maiden of Light again.

He saw her bowing to him.

Then the scene before his eyes disappeared.

…

Underground Temple.

The Sun Crown emerging on the statue of the God of Light gradually dissipated, then, only a cold, gray stone statue remained, no longer possessing the previous light and holiness.

After the Holy Maiden of Light could no longer sense the presence of the Papal, she sighed softly and turned to walk out of the temple.

She had not yet left.

Then, at the entrance of the temple, a figure appeared.

That figure was backlit by light, hence only a slim black silhouette could be seen, along with those slightly glowing red eyes.

“I smell something very pleasant,”

A strange, taunting laughter echoed.

The Holy Maiden of Light unchangingly said, “You shouldn’t be here, the Power of Faith of the Holy See of Light shouldn’t make you feel very comfortable.”

She continued moving forward without slowing her steps.

Upon reaching the temple doorway, she saw clearly the young man standing there, who was two heads shorter than her.

The young man just gave her a vague look, then shifted his gaze to the God of Light statue inside the temple, the red glow flowing in his eyes, as if measuring something.
