Chapter 892: Something is Approaching

The Kingdom of Knights, Norma!

The capital of Kings is the capital of the Kingdom of Norma, but within this capital, theres a place known as the City within the City, which is the headquarters of the Church of Light. Its a forcibly carved out section in the heart of the capital, forming a city within the city.

This city within the city is named the Light Hill. It occupies a relatively small area and can be described as a massive cathedral enclosed by towering walls.

Deep within the cathedral, in the Holy Prayer Chamber where the pope resides, an Inquisitor of the Church of Light approached the pope. Bowing respectfully and saluted, saying, Your Holiness, theres something amiss with the Geocenter Transmission Array. It emitted an eerie light just now, and I thought it was about to activate, but it didnt. Instead, it slowly faded away.

The pope, The Geocenter Transmission Array lit up? Damn it, is someone from the Demon King City coming over? Why would they come at such a crucial moment? Shouldnt they be fully committed to moving their forces to besiege that man in the Desert Kingdom?

The Inquisitor of the Church of Light replied, The demon race is truly unreliable. Im concerned that whatever comes from there isnt here for cooperation, but to cause trouble, possibly even a group of formidable monsters. Your Holiness, please provide your guidance.

The pope contemplated for a while before replying, Have the stationed inquisitors go to the underground chamber. Surround the portal and stand ready. If anything suspicious comes through from the other side, eliminate it immediately.

The Inquisitor of the Church of Light saluted, then with a leap backward, disappeared into thin air.

Soon, a large group of Inquisitors of the Church of Light sprung into action.

Though their names bear the word Light, they are, in reality, the shadow division nurtured by the Church of Light. They specialize in unsavory tasks, typically involving either assassination or the slaughter of heretics, subversion of small state governments, information control, and manipulation of innocent and upright citizens

Russ, the Big Loli, used to be an Inquisitor of the Church of Light, carrying out covert assassinations of enemy state officials on Bright Road. However, she wasnt directly associated with the pope; shes a self-proclaimed Inquisitor of the Church of Light. Thus, shes far from engaging in true dirty work.

The group of Inquisitors of the Church of Light before here are precisely the type that go extreme lengths for sinister deeds, harboring darkness within their hearts. Theyre completely different from the self-proclaimed Inquisitors of the Church of Light like Russ. Undertaking tasks that defy morality and ethics, such as forming an alliance with demons against humanity, is something only they would dare to do.

The Inquisitors of the Church of Light descended to an underground room. In the pitch-black space, in the middle of the rooms floor, lies a directional transmission array emitting a soft blue light. Clearly, this is the counterpart to the transmission array on the other side. Its about to activate, and they are well aware of where that counterpart is

The leading Inquisitor of the Church of Light shouted, Everyone, pay attention. If something with intelligence, like a demon that can communicate, comes through, temporarily hold off from attacking. Talk to it and see if there are any demands from the demon side. If what comes through is a hellhound, or a spider queenthose without intelligence, just mindless attackerseliminate them immediately.

And then, he felt his feet touch solid ground

He quickly surveyed his surroundings, trying to determine where he had ended up.

Without looking, he couldnt have known, but as soon as he looked, he was startled. He found himself standing in the middle of a spacious underground chamber, surrounded by a large group of people. These individuals had their faces covered, wore various types of clothing, and wielded an assortment of weapons. Yet, they all shared a common feature the emblem of the God of Light on their attire.

One person shouted loudly, What the hell? Why did a human get teleported here? But nevermind that! Kill him quickly!

In the next instant, a myriad of attacks came hurtling towards him.

Bows and arrows, javelins, light bullets, Light Arrows, Spears of Dawn

A chaotic barrage of ranged attacks bombarded him!

Chris: What the!

He only managed to utter these three words before all sorts of attacks slammed into him.

Shield Barrier! The only thing Chris could do in time was to activate a defensive skill; he didnt have time for anything else.

Chest, back, face, rear end, arms, thighs!

In that moment, he was practically hit from all angles. His shield could only block attacks from the front; it couldnt protect his back. Many attacks had to be taken head-on.

In that instant, Chris believed he was as good as dead. Perhaps he didnt even have time to react.

However, he was mistaken!

That jumbled mess of attacks was incredibly blocked by his demon steel armor. Particularly, the arrows and javelins couldnt penetrate his defenses. Various Holy Light spells, on the other hand, managed to marginally seep through the demon steel armor, causing him a hint of damage.
