Chapter 192: Ambush

Soon enough, all the Roger Dukedom's warriors sent to fight the Radiant Church's clerics had lost their lives.

Their bodies laid on the ground, breathless. Each one had a horrific look on their face, showing that they were screaming in pain before their death.

All of them had been struck by Ark at least a single time.

Edwin focused on the Roger Dukedom again and noticed that their warriors were on the move again. This time, a 6 Star Warrior was leading them.

This 6 Star Warrior was none other than Steven Roger.

Shun hadn't moved from his spot, though. He was still wearing the same clothes and mask to conceal his Spiritual Imprint. Thus, Edwin still had no idea that he was in this place.

Edwin wasn't thinking of the reasons behind Roger Dukedom's weird decisions or actions. He was thinking with a slight smile 'Alright… The main fight will finally start.'

The Pope was slightly terrified when he saw another huge wave of warriors charging out of the Roger Dukedom.

These people were close friends to the warriors who had been slaughtered by Radiant Church's clerics.

These warriors were the ones who hated the Radiant Church the most in the world right now.

And the one leading them was none other than Steven Roger, the Patriarch of the Roger Dukedom.

Steven Roger looked at his warriors through the corner of his eyes. He saw a lot of wrath in those eyes.

Steven then faced the Pope and shouted out, "I am Steven Roger, the Patriarch of the Roger Dukedom. And I only have one thing to say. I never attacked the Radiant Church. And I disdain to lie."

The Pope merely snorted at those words and replied, "As I said before, a criminal would never confess his crimes. Unfortunately, the reality isn't that simple."

Steven planned to attack personally and end this quickly.

However, the Pope was so nervous that he had already used his other trump card. His staff began to shine with a dazzling light.

Soon, the staff flew out of his hand. The shape of the staff changed to an oval shape. It was large enough for an average human to pass through it.

The Pope immediately bowed down in front of that portal and whispered his wish, "Your servants ask for your assistance, Oh Great Radiant God. Please send someone to assist us."

Those words made Steven pause and then focus on that portal in the air. He frowned because he sensed Spatial Laws.

He wasn't proficient in Spatial Laws. However, as a 6 Star Warrior, he could sense when Spatial Laws were utilized near him.

Spatial Laws were considered one of the Supreme Laws. To think that the Pope actually possessed a staff capable of utilizing Spatial Laws startled Steven greatly.

Even the other four 6 Star Warriors in the Roger Dukedom's Mansion had serious looks on their faces.

Shun didn't miss it. He didn't understand why they looked so solemn. However, he didn't need to ask them about it.

Those who were concentrating greatly noticed a hand appeared from that portal. It was a fair hand that looked as white as milk with even smoother skin.

Soon, the hand moved forward, and the entire body of the person was visible.

To the human warriors and even the clerics, this figure was a fair-looking woman with two beautiful white wings sprouted on her back.

When looking at her, the word Angel would unconsciously slip out of an individual's mouth.

She had white coily hair gently hanging over a long, frowning face. Her pair of beautiful blue eyes stared at Steven Roger and glared at him.

Steven Roger gulped down a mouthful of saliva. He then hatefully glared at the Pope and understood why this man dared to pick a fight against the Roger Dukedom and talk as if he had any chance of winning.

This man could actually summon a Celestial!

Steven Roger realized that if he hadn't heeded Shun's warning, he would be courting death by confronting the Angel alone.

The Angel then looked around to find the Pope who had summoned her. She wanted to find out why she had been summoned and who the enemy was.

The Pope was more than happy to inform her about who the enemy was. He felt as if the burden he had been carrying suddenly lightened up a great deal.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the warriors and the Radiant Church's clerics heard the sound of a sharp object cutting through the wind.

They tried to follow the attack through its sound and turned in the direction they last heard it.

No matter who it was, they couldn't help but gasp in utter shock when they saw an arrow piercing Angel's chest.

It was shocking because even the Angel hadn't sensed this attack until it actually struck her.

Only very talented warriors could accomplish such a feat, and none of them expected that someone would attack this Angel as soon as she appeared out of the portal.

The Pope, who had felt as if the Angel had shared his burden, was suddenly very anxious. He hadn't expected someone to target Angel and actually succeed in it as soon as she was summoned.

Soon, the people heard another sound. However, this time they focused more on the area near the Angel.

They were shocked to see another three arrows quickly heading towards the Angel. This time, the Angel did sense them slightly and tried to move out of the way.

One of those arrows struck her arm. As soon as that arrow struck the Angel, she puked out blood.

Unlike the red-colored blood of humans and demons, the Celestials bled white.

The Angel looked around to find the person targeting her. She was sure that the person attacking her was around as powerful as herself. Meaning, another 6 Star Warrior.

The Pope immediately sent another prayer. He was requesting another Angel. This time, two remaining bracelets on his arm lost their luster and turned into stone.

It could be said that the price of requesting another Angel to make her move was to trade her with Holy Treasures.

Sure enough, after those two bracelets lost their luster, another angel soon appeared from the portal.

She had a bored look on her face. It was clear that nothing interesting seemed to go in her life. Well, at the least, she would feel a lot of excitement on the Frascoia Continent soon enough.

After all, once she appeared, just like her comrade, she was targeted by that terrifying Archer as well.

Her fate was even worse than her comrade's fate. Two arrows struck her chest, and one arrow struck her thigh. One even grazed her wings, but fortunately, her wings remained unharmed.

Although she could fly without wings, her speed would be significantly lowered compared to flying with her wings intact.

During this time, the Angel who had been attacked earlier had used her Holy Ardor to forcefully suppress this Ardor in that Arrow. But she failed.

Not just the Ardor, but she also felt something strange enter her body as well.

That thing had mixed with her blood, and she couldn't check up on her body right now. She had to first deal with this unknown attacker.

Fortunately, when the Archer had attacked her comrade, the Angel who had been attacked earlier found his location.

Upon seeing this scene, Siluca showed an excited smile while Edwin had a neutral look on his face. Their plan had succeeded!
