A massive pillar of black flames instantly formed, clashing with the holy light column.
Boom!
The ground trembled, fierce winds howled, snapping branches and scattering leaves, leaving the forest in chaos.
Fred thought to himself, “No wonder he’s the second-ranking cardinal of Ecclesia, even his subordinates are this powerful.”
Seeing his men gaining the upper hand, Douglas proudly declared, “Pathetic creatures of darkness, you are as weak as ants before the light.”
“Douglas, stop boasting. If you have the guts, face me one-on-one!”
Prince Fred let out a sharp cry, and a large burst of blood-red light erupted from his back.
Suddenly, six terrifying blood-red wings appeared behind him.
With a flap of his six wings, Fred shot into the sky like a missile, surrounded by a halo of blood light.
Douglas sneered and transformed into a beam of white light, shooting into the air.
After a brief standoff in mid-air, Prince Fred shouted fiercely and launched an attack on Douglas.
A terrifying shriek echoed through the air as a torrent of blood surged towards Douglas like a breached dam.
Within the horrifying blood flood, countless tormented souls seemed to be struggling and wailing, making one’s skin crawl.
Douglas remained unfazed. A flash of light appeared before him, and an ancient greatsword was suddenly in his hand.
This was a double-edged, thick-backed greatsword, about a meter long and ten centimeters wide. Its blade shone like autumn water, adorned with countless ancient patterns.
This was the holy sword that struck fear into the hearts of vampires!
“Holy Purification!”
With a decisive shout, Douglas channeled all his holy power into the holy sword and slashed down with all his might.
A massive sword light descended from the sky, so intense it seemed to tear the very air apart with its fiery killing intent.
Holy Purification was just a basic combat technique of Ecclesia, but when wielded by Archbishop Douglas and enhanced by the holy sword, its power was extraordinarily terrifying.
Wherever the sword light passed, the blood flood instantly evaporated.
In just a moment, the sword light obliterated the blood flood and continued its unstoppable path towards Prince Fred.
Fred shouted fiercely, “Come forth, Cain’s Left Hand!”
Boom!
A massive blood-red hand appeared out of nowhere, shooting a huge blood-red beam that collided with the sword light.
Boom!
The sword light shattered like it had been struck by lightning, dissipating in mid-air.
This round ended in a draw between Douglas and Fred.
Meanwhile, on the ground…
Duke Joseph looked at Gizack and said, “These little guys are pretty tough. We need to be careful not to get caught off guard.”
“Don’t worry, Joseph,” Gizack grinned wickedly. “These poor little guys will soon be begging for mercy at our feet.”
The twelve white-robed bishops ignored the two dukes. Raising their cross swords in unison, they shouted together, “Holy Purification!”
Twelve beams of holy light shot into the sky and exploded violently.
In an instant, the sky was filled with blinding holy light.
Duke Joseph roared angrily as a cold, evil-smelling black whirlwind erupted from his body.
The black whirlwind swept towards the twelve bishops, freezing and destroying everything in its path.
Gizack also unleashed his attack. A black whirlwind of blood light surged forward with destructive force.
For a moment, white light, black light, and blood light clashed fiercely in a chaotic battle.
Powerful shockwaves rolled out in all directions like raging demons, destroying everything in their path.
In the sky, Fred and Douglas glared at each other, preparing for an even more intense second round of combat.
“Cain’s Left Hand?” Douglas raised an eyebrow.
“That’s right,” Prince Fred nodded, his dark power surging dramatically.
“It seems you’ve unlocked all its secrets,” Douglas asked calmly.
“Of course. Today you won’t escape death,” Fred declared confidently.
In truth, he had only unlocked about seventy percent of its secrets.
“I’ve heard that anyone who fully unlocks its secrets can defeat the Pope. Today, I’ll see for myself,” Douglas said skeptically. No vampire had ever fully unlocked its secrets in thousands of years.
“To die by its power is your honor!” Prince Fred shouted fiercely. “Cain’s Wrath!”
In the sky, Cain’s Left Hand burst into intense blood-red light like a blazing torch.
A terrifying aura of death quickly gathered, its power astonishing.
Douglas knew how dangerous Cain’s Left Hand was and prepared his strongest technique: “Holy Judgment!”
With a loud roar, his ancient holy sword shot out a massive beam of holy light that seemed to connect heaven and earth.
With another shout from Douglas, the holy light beam slashed fiercely towards Fred.
Fred pointed at Douglas.
The blood-red light in the sky instantly transformed into thousands of blood arrows shooting towards the holy light beam.
Boom!
The two powerful forces collided, creating thunderous explosions that rolled across the sky like endless waves.
The shockwaves roared and surged in all directions like an unstoppable tide.
Douglas quickly held his holy sword across his chest. Holy light emanated from the sword, enveloping him completely.
The terrifying shockwaves battered against his protective holy light but couldn’t harm him at all.
Fred stood beneath Cain’s Left Hand. The blood-red light formed an enormous shield that blocked all attacks.
Soon, the shockwaves dissipated.
Though both Douglas and Fred were exhausted from expending so much energy, they remained unscathed.
On the ground…
Leo stepped forward from where he had been watching.
Stretching lazily, Leo said, “I guess I’ll join in on the fun.”
Gizack and Joseph shrugged, knowing their turn was over.
One of the white-robed bishops stepped forward and demanded, “Who are you? Leave this place immediately. You don’t belong here!”
“I’ll leave soon enough. But before I do, you’ll all be lying on the ground,” Leo said with a smile.
“Who are you?” The white-robed bishops’ faces changed color.
“Duke Joseph, who am I?” Leo asked casually.
“You are our master, the most powerful leader of the vampire clan,” Duke Joseph replied respectfully.
Hearing this, the twelve white-robed bishops were incredulous.
After recovering from their shock, one bishop sneered coldly. “It doesn’t matter who you are. Helping vampires makes you a sinner and traitor to our Lord. You must die to atone for your sins.”
“Is that so?” Leo laughed heartily as he unleashed his overwhelming aura.
The oppressive force stunned the twelve white-robed bishops into silence.
“Burn everything to ashes!” Leo summoned a talisman.
Flames descended from the sky, forming a roaring Firedrake.
