Chapter 915: Chapter 751: Completely Insane!

Xu Shuo walked from the back yard of the church to the front yard, passing by the Priesthood who were praying in the temple, but he paid them no mind.

When he reached the grand square in the front courtyard of the Light Church, he was met with a scene of utter chaos and devastation.

The sound of battle thundered in the air, blood of various shades splattered across the walls and ground. The Holy Court’s Knight Order held their formation in front of the church’s temple, slaying the Snow Magical Beasts that breached the blockade.

The entire City of Light was shielded by a City-Protecting Magic Array, and naturally, the Light Church had its own protective barrier as well.

Thus, the number of Magical Beasts making it into the grounds had been repeatedly thinned out, allowing the remaining few thousand knights to barely hold their ground without being overwhelmed in an instant.

In addition to the knights, many Archbishops were in the rear, weaving Magic Sigils to restore the soldiers’ strength and heal their injuries as much as possible.

Even the nuns of the Holy Court had joined the fray, fearlessly charging to the very front lines!

All kinds of dazzling lights flashed in the darkness.

It was, ironically, a slightly ostentatious spectacle. Even the arcs of blood splashing through the air carried a strange rhythm, as though part of a grim symphony that would play on for a long time.

Countless Snow Magical Beasts, numbering in the tens of thousands, encircled the entire City of Light like a steel fortress.

In the dark skies above,

explosions of fire and magic would erupt occasionally, sending countless flying Magical Beasts plummeting to the ground in droves. Meanwhile, delicate snowflakes continued to flutter down through the air.

Only, those snowflakes never reached the ground—they dissolved and vanished in the rising Aura of Light before they could fall.

The night sky, it seemed, was lively in its own way.

But Xu Shuo merely glanced up briefly before withdrawing his gaze.

The Holy Maiden of Light followed behind him as they walked to the square.

The two of them passed through the chaotic battlefield as though traversing an empty field. Even the knights of the Holy Court close by failed to register their presence.

When they stepped outside the church grounds,

the sight was even more harrowing.

The Holy Maiden’s expression was sorrowful: “The freemen of the City of Light are our most loyal believers. These people chose to destroy the city to strike a blow against both the faith and prestige of our Holy Court.”

Xu Shuo’s eyes swept calmly across the chaotic streets.

Some of the knights of the Holy Court were escorting a number of believers out of the City of Light. Even though the Magical Beast Army was vast in number, its target was focused on the Light Church, so escape routes could still be found where they were less concentrated.

However, when war arrives,

unexpected calamities often leave many without the chance to respond, some even devoured by Magical Beasts in their sleep.

By the time ordinary people realized what was happening,

their first instinct was to seek refuge at the church.

Only to discover the horrifying truth—that the Light Church was the very focus of the Magical Beast Army’s assault, the heart of the battlefield. As a result, the avenues leading to the church from all four directions were carpeted with blood and corpses, a ghastly sight to behold.

Whoosh——

Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind swept through the air.

The wind whipped across the ground, causing the Holy Maiden of Light’s long dress to rustle loudly, her pale golden hair flowing wildly, and nearly lifting the white veil covering her head from its place.

A colossal shadow, darker than the pitch-black night, streaked overhead at incredible speed. Shortly after, a burst of brilliant white frost erupted not far away.

The falling frost reflected the light of the moon, sparkling with crystalline brilliance.

Yet the Extreme Frost’s chilling aura

failed even to descend from the air.

The Holy Maiden immediately covered her mouth and let out a soft chuckle: “Oh my, our dear Little Black is truly capable. To tussle with that bastard for so long and still hold its ground—its stomach must be growling by now~”

At those words,

Xu Shuo, standing to the side, couldn’t help but make a strange face.

This Holy Maiden was certainly no ordinary person.

To even suppress Luo Kun.

If she didn’t have some special method, it was doubtful she could have coerced that dragon into cooperating so willingly—or perhaps it wasn’t so willing after all when it came to doing work.

At least it hadn’t caused any further incidents.

Xu Shuo cast his gaze toward the airborne battle, using his spiritual power to examine the state of the Ice and Snow Elf. Despite being covered in wounds and utterly exhausted, the Elf still managed to persist, continuing its confrontation with the black dragon.

The reason for such determination,

Xu Shuo speculated, was likely the hope that the Heretical Inquisitor would destroy the Statue of Light.

After all, if the vessel of the Belief in Light were to crumble, the countless Magical Beast Army troops could flatten the entire city with ease!

But it was a pity.

The Heretical Inquisitor was currently playing a game of chase with the bride, so the Ice and Snow Elf’s relentless efforts were increasingly in vain.

At this thought, Xu Shuo ceased his waiting and turned his head toward the Holy Maiden of Light.

“Going forward, do not let anyone or anything approach me. Is that possible?” Xu Shuo asked.

“That’s a bit difficult…”

The Holy Maiden frowned slightly: “I’ve already used up my special state. If you want to do something that can’t be disturbed, either you go back to the temple, or don’t stay out here.”

The latter part of her statement didn’t seem all that different.

In short, the Holy Maiden meant one thing:

Don’t stay out here!!

As she spoke, a few Magical Beasts charged toward them. With a sudden flick of her sleeve, the Holy Maiden instantly severed them into two halves.

Xu Shuo shook his head: “That’s impossible, and I can’t stay in one place either. I need to walk through the entire City of Light.”

The Holy Maiden froze in surprise.

She suddenly remembered.

No wonder this man had taken the initiative to awaken her from her feigned death state earlier, instead of keeping her in the state where she could fight on instinct—was it because he himself couldn’t remain in one place?

“What are you planning to do?”
