I’m a bit late! Sorry about that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan waved his hand with an awkward laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was nearly killed, and he was acting so calm. Sion wanted to rush over and punch him right then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at least he had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t read or decipher blood magic like Sion could. Yet as the Commander of the Order of the Holy Sword, Sion believed he would somehow break through and arrive regardless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interference, interference! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The madwoman had a fit beside him, stomping her feet violently—so hard that the ground shook as if an earthquake were about to erupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the Commander of the Order of the Holy Sword wiped the amusement from his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Apostle of Madness. What are you doing here? This is the territory of the Holy Kingdom. How in the world did you get in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his voice, clearly displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also a question Sion had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were there so many servants of the Evil God within this castle, the very gateway to the Holy Kingdom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shouldn’t be happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle of Madness laughed like a lunatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe, uhheheheh, khhkhh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she tore at her lips with her fingers and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, you know too, Lagan! The Goddess of Light… her power has grown weak, weak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan said lightly, drawing his sword as he walked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiiing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade, filled with silvery-white light, illuminated the dark hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let there be light in this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hate it! I hate it! That sword! Put it away! Then, then I’ll spare you! Uhheh, hehe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was frivolous and noisy. Her smiling face was beautiful, but the twisted expression made her look truly hideous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet none of that registered in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What did she just say? The Goddess of Light’s power… weakened…?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion frowned. But before he could dwell on the thought, the Holy Sword members rushed toward him like they were flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood before him, as if to protect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Step back for a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to fight alongside you too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s enough. What more can you do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan scoffed and waved his hand dismissively. Then he turned his gaze back to the mad apostle of the evil god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His back was visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Broad and large. It even gave the illusion of looking at his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan said, straightening his shoulders, “watch closely, my talented junior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion unconsciously nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a golden opportunity to expand his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Apostle of the Evil God versus the Commander of the Order of the Holy Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clash between two who had reached the pinnacle of this world. Just observing would teach him a great deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kya! Kya kya! Lagan! Are you really going to fight me? Huh? Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Apostle of Madness changed her tone and shrieked. She seemed delighted, cackling shrilly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a noisy woman. Her face is pretty enough to look at, at least.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Am I pretty? Am I pretty? Am I pretty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that I look again, you’re actually ugly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Sion retreated under the protection of the Holy Sword members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Lagan’s stage had begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know how the Holy Kingdom’s influence became such a mess…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Lagan’s mouth twitched upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But first, I’ll have to crush all these vermin, won’t I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle of Madness, who had kept an artificial smile with her fingers on her lips the whole time, finally removed her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, Lagan. Are you sure you’ll be okay? I only need to kill that kid. I’ll leave quietly then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Isn’t that exactly why I came to stop you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Really? Huh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan scratched his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle of Madness removed her fingers from her lips. Saliva stretched from her fingers to her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With even the forced smile gone, the apostle’s expression turned much colder. Apparently, her natural look was that of a cold-faced woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still a beauty, I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A pity to kill, but oh well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sssk— A gleam flashed in the Apostle of Madness’s eyes. A greatsword, unnoticeably drawn at some point, rested on her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not handsome, but you’re manly. It’ll be fun killing you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Commander of the Order of the Holy Sword’s expression looked strangely satisfied. Apparently, being complimented by a woman pleased him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Listen up, members of the Order of the Holy Sword!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan shouted. For a brief moment, his eyes met Sion’s. He glanced once at Sion, then at his men, and gave a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dodge any debris that comes flying at you on your own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that gallant shout, he finally took his stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion swallowed hard, fully absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body felt like a thousand pounds, but witnessing this fight was far more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Can I see all their movements?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even just sensing them would be immensely helpful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his thoughts could finish, the battle began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful demonic energy and divine power erupted in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two intangible forces collided, intensifying the flow of air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning, blades clashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaaa— Ang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Insane…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t see it. Despite his eyes being wide open, he failed to clearly observe their movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwaang—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire hall shook. The vibration spread up to the ceiling like an earthquake. From outside, the entire castle would have appeared to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle of Madness swung her greatsword, knocking aside the Commander’s blade. Since both used heavy swords, each swing created massive shockwaves and thunderous sounds unlike any other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Commander delivered a swift kick. The Apostle of Madness was momentarily pushed back but grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You handle such a heavy sword well for such a delicate body. Isn’t it heavy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Commander asked casually, as if already certain of victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… is heavy. But my Goddess forced me to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a strange Goddess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-yes! I think so too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why not stop believing in her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonic energy exploded from the Apostle of Madness’s body, launching her forward once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t insult my Goddess—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her charge was like a lightning strike. Dust rose in a storm-like whirlwind as she pushed off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bwoong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle’s greatsword, swung with both hands, sliced toward the Commander. It left behind an afterimage of a body being split, but the Commander instantly seized her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so terrifying that even Sion, watching from afar, shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swordsmanship resembled the upright, direct techniques unique to the Order of the Holy Sword. Naturally so, since his swordsmanship was rooted in the teachings of the Light Cult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his mastery was exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the same sword style, skill levels varied greatly depending on the user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion found himself reevaluating the Order of the Holy Sword’s swordsmanship, which he had previously dismissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan seemed to have mastered a sword style all his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan’s cloak fluttered, and a small splash of blood scattered onto the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle of Madness quickly created distance, but blood seeped slightly from her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh, eh! Blood! Blood! It hurts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cried out dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the more she jumped around, the faster the wound closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cut like that was nothing to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan laughed playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Apostle of Madness. Why not live up to your name? Show me some madness. Stop playing around. I prefer women who’ve lost their sanity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“R-really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle of Madness spoke in a low voice. Her tone carried a rage that seemed ready to shatter everything within reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me, me. There. I can’t stay here too long! I have to go now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re on a date with a fine man—where are you going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a meeting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A meeting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan furrowed his brow. His playful tone had sharpened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know, Lagan. Our world is coming soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah. Are you planning an invasion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle of Madness relaxed her posture and tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s already begun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoo—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan exhaled deeply, then raised his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t the time to fool around. These vermin… seem to be charging in more recklessly than I thought.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ehe. It’s already too late, Lagan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I admit it. But I still have things to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Sion couldn’t keep his eyes open properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the sword Lagan raised upward, silvery-white light burst forth, igniting a strange flame of divine power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whooooong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind blew through the Hall of Blood. A sacred light, as if capable of destroying all evil in the world, illuminated the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lagan. You’re using the Holy Sword of Light? That’s too much for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle of Madness grinned. Her eyes reflected the dazzling light, glowing brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A storm of divine power swept through the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Incredible.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much effort and how firm a faith must one have to emit such light?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If I combined all my divine power now, would it even come close to?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he fully utilized the Apostle of Blood’s power, he’d still have only a slight advantage. Even considering that, the Commander’s aura exceeded imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Holy Sword is with the Apostle. This is just a replica.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, then I can handle it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle of Madness regained her composure and lowered her stance. She too wrapped her body tightly in dense demonic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic energy was so thick it felt like it could split one’s head just by looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s finish this quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Commander’s declaration,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuu— Waaak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent gale erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two figures became invisible. Only silvery-white and crimson afterimages trailed across the hall, colliding repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion’s eyes darted back and forth. But except for flashes of light, he could barely see anything clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even grew anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t even begin to guess in what dimension these two were fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ku, Kwa-aang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one moment, a shockwave burst out. Bodies were thrown back, and debris flew threateningly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he understood Lagan’s earlier words about dodging debris on their own. He had foreseen a brutal fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion focused divine power into his eyes to the extreme. He had to capture at least one exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwa, Kwaang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaaaaaaah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boulders fell from the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor cracked with loud, grinding sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he still couldn’t see either of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only roughly guess what exchanges occurred based on shockwaves and clashing energies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s suffocating.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head burned. This was the result of merely trying to keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To actually reach the level of being near that battle—there was still a long, treacherous path ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t even estimate how high the mountain he had to climb truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The Commander of the Order of the Holy Sword is impressive…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Apostle of Madness was astonishing too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was skilled enough to stand against the Order of the Holy Sword’s greatest force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the Evil God’s side really be this powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘There must be different ranks among the Evil God’s apostles.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One thing was certain—the weakened Apostle of Blood and the relatively new Apostle of Decay were not on this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed as if each second lasted a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then, when Sion’s breath—held almost unconsciously—finally released again, that someone broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The match is over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Lagan’s servant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion saw it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We won.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion whispered softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan stood, drenched in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked bad. The bleeding hadn’t stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to his opponent, it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle of Madness, who had been spouting madness the entire time, now lay scattered on the floor, limbs and head severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had burned her madness to the fullest and still been defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the highest level, she had been annihilated in a battle too intense for even Sion to properly see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hoo—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clean up the corpse. Finish what needs to be done and return quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Commander turned around. His body swayed slightly, but Holy Sword members were already approaching to support him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion slowly walked toward him too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up close, the wounds looked even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, they were clearly fatal. Such severe injuries meant the battle had been incredibly fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander. I’ve learned a great deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm. For such a confident statement, you took quite a beating. I’m embarrassed—don’t talk to me for a bit, will you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion chuckled and stepped aside. He followed the retreating figure out of the Hall of Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Schedule: Every mon, wed, fri and sun\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Review at\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>NovelUpdate\u003C\u002Fp>",2095,"2026-05-30T06:48:22.319Z","2026-06-01T04:30:34.110Z",1,"novelbin.me","a2ba958371cb478c4192f8643f2912c728db0b14b3ef705112207e4fcb4832a8","apostle-of-the-goddess-of-war-chapter-110","apostle-of-the-goddess-of-war-chapter-108",174,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapostle-of-the-goddess-of-war-cover.jpg"]
