Chapter 901: Reappearing Cultists

The large book floating on the edge of the lake shore was about to turn to the last page. The white fog drifting from the lake-center island could not cover its light. That brilliant silver-white light was so dazzling. In the few minutes of conversation between the three, the brightness became more and more intense.

Silver-white light spots jumped around the book, and streams of light containing dense information flowed between different pages. Just from the appearance, this Relic was more beautiful than most Relics Xia De had seen, and from the fluctuations of the Whisper elements, Xia De even believed that this Relic was very likely Angel-level (Level 1).

"You can believe my words, because the Apuna Library also knows what I know. They are on good terms with the Orthodox Church. Although they exchanged information with us this time for selfish reasons, they will certainly inform the Church of these matters afterward."

Miss Pawo continued to speak, looking at Xia De. She knew that this man was the one in charge.

"We are not people from the Five Gods Church."

"Then which side do you belong to?"

She said while looking at her book. At this time, the book finally turned to the last page, and then slowly fell. Miss Pawo took the giant book with the silver cover, and the corners of her mouth hooked into a smile:

"Alright, although I didn't calculate the final result, my work is done. Then, you two, see you next time, I still have to rush to the lake-center island."

"Do you think you can leave?"

Xia De asked. Miss Pawo shook her head and extended three fingers:

"3."

A sound came from the bushes behind.

"2."

Xia De's ears could distinguish that a person was walking quickly toward here.

"1."

A man wearing a brown robe, with a thin figure and no eyebrows, walked out of the bushes. His hands were holding a brass box covered with water weeds, and he was a low-ring sorcerer himself. Whisper elements spread from that brass box toward the surroundings. With his arrival, it even caused the fog in this area by the shore to dissipate forcibly.

This looked very strange, just like a semi-circular bowl covering his surroundings. And the box itself was not "quiet" either; several pitch-black electric arcs constantly jumped on the surface of the box. Vaguely, Xia De heard a roaring sound.

He blocked in front of Difa and the cat calmly, raised his eyebrows, and tried his best to control his expression. The man holding the box was none other than Karl Leipzig, a cultist of the Evil God 【Fury Storm】 whom he had met in Huntington. The Relic in his hand was the 【Fury's Divine Punishment】 that Xia De had been thinking about.

"If I fail to get the divinity tonight, remember to remind me to stay up late for an hour every day for the next month to practice strange arts."

【Okay.】

"You see, I came to complete this kind of high-risk mission, how could I not have companions? Although the professors have already boarded the island and intercepted the Church's squad, I still have this one by my side. Of course, if I had anticipated being intercepted by you in advance, I should have brought more manpower. This kind of low-probability event is really annoying."

Miss Pawo said to the taciturn man:

"I will leave first, Mr. Leipzig, you deal with these two. Do not get entangled in the fight. Ring-sorcerers who appear in places where they shouldn't appear usually have something strange about them. The Church's high-ring sorcerers should appear within five minutes. If you cannot guarantee a one-hit kill, do not stay here for too long."

"Yes, lady."

The cultist said softly, then faced Xia De.

Difa walked out from behind Xia De, and before Xia De could speak, she handed the cat she was holding back to Xia De:

"Lady, do you really think you can leave?"

Steam fog appeared behind Difa, followed by the high-heat rotating ring of the six-ring sorceress. Seeing that Difa was a mid-ring sorceress, the cultist holding the holy object immediately avoided her:

"Miss Pawo, although I am employed by you, according to the agreement, I am not responsible for opposing such an opponent."

Miss Pawo stopped her steps preparing to enter the lake water, held the book, and turned to look at Difa:

"Six-ring?"

Saying this, she opened her large book and took a look:

"My winning percentage is actually only fifty-nine percent?"

"I think your winning percentage is one percent."

Difa said with a serious expression. Whether to help Xia De or to help Miss Galina, she had to keep this woman here at this moment.

"Numbers will not lie. If you want to challenge probability, lady, then follow me!"

Miss Pawo jumped backward violently and entered the thick fog on the lake directly. Difa was not in a hurry. Her high heels stepped on the water surface, and the spirit light of her ring shone in all directions behind her, and she also entered the area of the water surface.

The two ladies soon disappeared from the field of vision of Xia De and the cultist Mr. Leipzig. In fact, Difa was at a disadvantage. Miss Pawo had made full preparations before coming to the Lakeside Manor, but Difa did not know that there would be such a battle afterward when she came to the garden at Xia De's invitation.

But Xia De had great confidence in the black-haired maid, and besides, he could not be distracted at this moment, because the cultist was looking at him vigilantly.

Xia De shook his head slightly:

"You don't have to be too nervous, I am just a low-ring sorceress, compared to the two ladies, I am obviously not strong."

While speaking, he took a step across the thin fog and appeared beside the cultist holding the brass box. The 【Moonlight Greatsword】 in his hand slashed down, but was blocked by the raised box with a clanging sound.

Silver moon light debris and pitch-black electric light splashed everywhere. The brass box seemed to flash with light the moment it was touched by the 【Moonlight Greatsword】. The blasphemous elements representing the power of the Evil God impacted Xia De at close range, but he felt indifferent to this.

Although he did not have divinity in his current state, after being washed by three drops of divinity and having the Primordial Fire, Xia De felt nothing about the mental impact caused by the leakage of divine power. Even, the slight power leaked from the divinity actually made him more excited.

The 【Moonlight Greatsword】 that passed through the night did not succeed in injuring the enemy, but the power brought by Xia De's strong physical fitness made Karl Leipzig, who had no eyebrows, almost let go of the box in his hand.

After blocking Xia De's surprise attack, the cultist retreated into the water surface using the momentum carried by the greatsword. The cultist from the coastal area also possessed the power to walk on the water surface like Xia De. In the blink of an eye, only a blurred figure remained in the white fog:

"Do you think you can run away?"

Xia De was unwilling to involve little Mia in the battle, so he temporarily placed the cat that looked like a dog on the shore and also chased onto the water surface. Although he set off a few seconds later than the other party, it was only a matter of two or three steps before Xia De caught up with the other party in the white fog on the water surface:

"Moonlight Slash."

He clapped his hands together and then pulled them apart violently. The brilliant arc of light flew across the water surface under the moon. The cultist instinctively felt the crisis and hurriedly stopped and turned to block with the box in his hand. In the crisp sound, the arc of silver moon light hit the Angel-level Relic 【Fury's Divine Punishment】 again, scattering into large pieces of light debris on the lake surface.

But this strike was by no means without any effect. The huge impact force knocked the cultist who used the Relic as a "shield" onto the water surface. And when he was holding the water surface and trying to climb up, Xia De, who had passed ten seconds, took another step and appeared in front of him:

"Moonlight Greatsword!"

He must not let the other party escape again this time, so he had no scruples when taking action.

The ring of the three-ring sorcerer appeared in the thick fog at this time, and the 【Storm】 spirit rune flickered with spirit light. The kneeling cultist held the 【Fury's Divine Punishment】 with his left hand, and the air virtually gripped by his right hand became distorted. As a streak of pitch-black thunder light from the brass metal box rushed into his body, his right hand virtually gripped and swung an invisible sword toward the sky:

"Storm Sword!"

Crack!

The two swords met and electric light splashed, as if the air itself exploded. Xia De and Karl Leipzig were bounced in two directions at the same time.

Xia De felt that the greatsword in his hand touched a violent wind in the air, and then electric light rushed into his arm. Half of his body was instantly paralyzed, and he stumbled back several steps before stopping. But the cultist was not having a good time either. Although the light trace of the Moonlight Greatsword falling shifted somewhat, he still felt as if the hand bone of his right arm was broken.

Moreover, even with the help of the power of the holy object to catch this sword, the brilliant silver moonlight still had an impact on his body. He could clearly feel that the power of the moonlight was restraining the power of the holy object.

"Sure enough, clearly just a low-ring but still favored and employed by the Truth Society, the power you can exert with the help of the Relic is absolutely very strong."

Xia De's half-body paralysis quickly returned to normal. Leipzig, who stood up in the thick fog on the water surface, heard his completely normal voice and looked over in surprise:

"You recovered so quickly?"

"I was struck by lightning some time ago, and then I found that my resistance to lightning had increased."

Xia De said, and pulled the chain in his hand violently. Just now, when he came to the cultist through "Lagley's Leap," the 【Chain of Sin】 had already fallen into the water. While the cultist avoided the Moonlight Greatsword, the chain under the water had already reached the other party's feet through the water body.

At this time, 【Living Rope Trick】 manipulated the chain, shooting out from under the water like a long snake, wrapping around the right leg of this man without eyebrows:

"What is this?"

For a ring-sorcerer whose level was even lower than Xia De's, the effect of 【Chain of Sin】 in blocking mobility was quite significant. Karl Leipzig immediately kept the stiff posture of getting up and stopped on the water surface. The "Gluttony," "Greed," and "Sloth" runes on the chain flickered with ghostly light, climbing from the right leg and gradually wrapping around his body, until they climbed toward his ring.

As the pitch-black chain touched the ring, the spirit runes that were still flickering with spirit light gradually became dim, and the ring itself stopped rotating.

Xia De did not talk nonsense with him at all, stepped forward quickly, extended his left hand not holding the sword, and wanted to take away the box he was holding. But when his left hand was about three inches away from the box covered with water weeds, the box lid automatically opened a gap.
