This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Upgraded Cricket Fighting (Request for Follow-up)

At the beginning, the Primordial Fire was absolutely delighted!

As a Divine, he could clearly feel the unparalleled fervor of the believers!

The burning sensation from the high heat of their souls even gave him the illusion that great fortune had finally come to him.

He seemed to see believers everywhere on the mountains and plains, loudly chanting his hymns, welcoming his descent!

So, without thinking, he responded to this summoning!

But when he truly descended into the world, he found that his believers hadn’t increased much.

Although a bit disappointed, fortunately, everyone was still very fervent!

But... why does this location look so familiar?

So strange, let me take another look!

... Isn’t this the base of operations of the Holy Light Goddess on earth?!

A sense of foreboding engulfed his heart! The Primordial Fire immediately attempted to retreat the moment he descended, not even planning to bid farewell to his believers with dignity.

Unfortunately, since it was a trap, there’s no way it would let him escape.

Lilith, sitting in the corner, had already taken out a birdcage-like magic device and gently flipped the switch.

The birdcage began to buzz, and the entire space was instantly shrouded by a mysterious power, sealing the portion of the divine body of the Primordial Fire that had descended into the world.

This mass of purple-black flames twisted continuously, transforming into a half-human form floating in the air.

The believers praised the great Primordial Fire and prostrated themselves on the ground.

Emily curiously examined the ancient birdcage: "What kind of magic device is this?"

"This is the Dream Catcher of Ernadus, one of the three sets used by the Tower of Truth to hunt down inferior Gods."

Emily was taken aback. She had heard Lette mention before that the Tower of Truth had once hunted Gods at its height.

Her nominal grandmaster, the Great Sage of Reason, was an existence terrifying enough to slaughter high level Gods.

But to truly see a tool specifically for hunting Gods was somewhat hard to accept at first.

After all, in the hearts of ordinary people, Gods were supreme beings.

"What about the other two sets?"

"We do have Stockel’s God and Demon Atlas, but unfortunately, the Spear of Truth that is particularly effective against Gods has been destroyed."

Emily immediately panicked: "The offensive weapon is destroyed, so how do you plan to deal with the Divine?"

Lilith shrugged: "There are plenty of ways. Mock their doctrines, ridicule their missionary ideas, sneer at their divinity, and snatch their believers right in front of them..."

"That’s completely provoking them! That’ll only drive the God into a frenzy!"

Lilith covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don’t worry, the World Laws do not allow Gods to descend to the mortal realm.

The reason those Evil Gods, as well as the Holy Light Goddess, can briefly descend is because they have believers in the mortal world and held a summoning ceremony.

The ability of a Divine to project a divine body in the mortal world, the strength of their divine power, is greatly related to the number of their believers, their fervor, and the value of the sacrifices.

Just this small tavern, without sacrifices, without altars, and performing a summoning not on a specific date.

If it weren’t for the overwhelming fervor of the believers, the Divine would probably be unwilling to come.

Even if they come, their strength is quite average..."

Emily listened to Lilith’s explanation and couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: "It feels like you guys are really familiar with this."

"As Lette would say—it’s nothing but practice makes perfect."

Boom!

While the two women were chatting, the Primordial Fire had already punched through the podium. Lette effortlessly escaped with the Church Ancestor, setting up a Light Barrier to protect this group of Pagans.

"Hey, hey, hey! This isn’t right, Divine, throwing a tantrum casually like this could hurt your lovely believers.

What, you want to kill all the believers to forcefully terminate the summoning? Realized things are not looking good and decided not to pretend anymore?

This is why I hate you amateurs so much, not a hint of technical skill!"

The Primordial Fire was flustered, but also enraged: "I could tell at a glance you’re not my believer! Who exactly are you? What do you want to do?"

Lette’s body glowed with the Holy Light, striking a pose he thought looked cool.

"I’m just a passing-by Holy Light Knight, remember that!"

Then, he raised one hand high, and roared towards the sky.

"It’s decided, it’ll be you! Holy Light Goddess Afra!"

The brilliant Holy Light blossomed, forming a magnificent Divine Prayer Array, meant for the descent of the Holy Light Goddess!

In the distance, Lilith suddenly realized: "Oh! I wondered what new trick he was up to, turns out it’s a modified version of the ’Hell Cricket Fight’.

Yeah! Watching the Holy Light Goddess battle an Evil God, that sounds pretty fun."

However, the array operated, but nothing happened. The Primordial Fire struck with a fist, forcing Lette to activate Light Flash, dodging swiftly.

"Strange, why wasn’t the summoning successful? Did Afra go ’hehe’ and take a bath?

Ah! I remembered!"

Lette smacked his forehead: "I’ve got the Holy Shackles on me, no wonder!"

Lilith yelled at him from afar: "Even without the Holy Shackles on you, the Holy Light Goddess wouldn’t respond to your summoning!

I’m telling you, maybe you are too optimistic about your relationship with her!"

Under the continued bombardment from the Primordial Fire, the pitiful little tavern had turned to dust. The petrified believers huddled under the Light Barrier that Lette cast, were temporarily unharmed.

Lette, with a Light Flash, arrived beside the two women, placing a hand on Emily’s head.

"Come! You summon the Goddess’s descent."

"Me? I’m just an ordinary believer, not a Divine Officer!"

"There’s no choice now, you’re the most suitable!"

Emily was suddenly startled, thinking that’s true. The people here are either Pagans except for Lette, herself, and Lilith.

She couldn’t ask Lilith, being an Enchanting Demon, to be the summoner.

She immediately closed her eyes, allowing Lette’s Holy Light to circulate within her body.

"Relax! Relax!"

"Be careful! I’ve never done this before!"

Lilith squinted her eyes, ready to speak but held her tongue, choosing silence in the end.

With Emily as the medium, Lette once again unfolded the summoning array of the Holy Light Goddess. At this point, the Evil God also realized that something was wrong and furiously charged towards them.

At the critical moment, a bright light descended from the sky, the combat form shadow of the Holy Light Goddess, clad in armor and wielding a Light Spear, arrived.

The violent shockwave sent the Primordial Fire flying away.

The warm Holy Light illuminated the surroundings, bringing salvation to the Pagans within the barrier. A large number of Pagans knelt down and chose to pray to the Holy Light Goddess.

The nearby awakened residents, seeing such a valiant Goddess’s shadow, also knelt and prayed continuously.

Afra first waved to bestow blessings on those praying, then glared fiercely at Lette.

The meaning was clear, I’ll deal with you later!

Then, holding the Light Spear, she faced the Primordial Fire, her pretty face as cold as ice, her eyes blazing with anger.

"You’ve got some nerve, challenging me in my Holy City?"

If the Primordial Fire had tears, they would have fallen by now.

It might sound unbelievable, but he wasn’t doing it on purpose; he was a victim too.

By now, Lette was already sitting among the pretty girls, holding a beer, raising his arms and shouting at the Holy Light Goddess.

"Go, Afra! Use Thunderbolt!"
