"Too weak!" These were the last words Agnelli heard.

Chapter 349 Cemetery

“And you.” Nemes looked at Moritulus.

The other party was not the real Moritulus, but a fanatic parasitizing Moritulus's body.

"I've given you so much time to prepare, your arrangements should be complete by now, why haven't you summoned the Saint yet?" Nemus asked softly.

It's as if they don't know the power of the saint, and they themselves are not the kind of people the saint needs to eliminate.

This composure prevented Moriturus from easily using the sacred incantation within his body.

He could only take advantage of the time while Nemus was torturing Agnelli and Emerald to secretly set up some measures to ensure that if Nemus was in his true form, he would not be able to escape so easily.

He really didn't expect Nems to be this strong.

Nemus killed Agnelli and Emerald before he could even display his true abilities.

He is now in a dilemma.

If the current Nemus is not the real Nemus, then after he used the secret incantation to communicate with the saint, Nemus mysteriously disappeared again.

So even if this body is special, it is impossible to use the Saint's Secret Spell multiple times.

He has only one chance to summon the saint.

As for whether Nemus was truly confident in dealing with the Saint, Moritulus did not believe it.

That's a Saint, the strongest combat force in the material plane.

Even a legendary species' strength lies only in its ability to accomplish things; it does not mean that its combat power is comparable to that of a saint.

Nemus's strength is at most that of a Gold Saint who has just emerged from the novice stage; he could not possibly be a match for a Saint.

The only thing he needs to be careful of is Nemus's ability to suddenly escape.

"They should have started over there by now." Just as Moritulus was on guard, Nemus suddenly looked west, towards the direction of Air Spring City.

And thanks to Nemes's influence, his predictions about these things have always been very accurate.

The moment he looked over, the previously quiet Qiquan City suddenly became noisy.

Suddenly, a large number of 'people' rushed out from the area where the Abyss of Aura was located.

These people are all vicious and ferocious.

As soon as they appeared, they turned on the others and killed them.

Then it roared and charged toward other areas of Qiquan City.

The church immediately went on alert.

At this moment, the large prison in Qiquan City completely fell, and all the prisoners held inside escaped.

Furthermore, many of these prisoners had undergone unknown modifications.

These prisoners had a certain craving for human internal organs.

Once they appeared, they attacked humans everywhere, cutting open their bodies and eating their internal organs.

It was because of these prisoners that the once peaceful and tranquil city of Qiquan was instantly turned crimson.

At that moment, Guilliman, who was already on guard, immediately mobilized many clergy to maintain order and clear out the prisoners.

At the same time, he quickly walked towards an area behind the church.

If the enemy's target is truly the Sinful Soul, then they would definitely be there right now.

As soon as Killman stepped out of the room, he saw a 'familiar face'.

Rotts Levine.

His expression was gloomy, as if he had just come out from the other side and, upon seeing Guilliman, his hand was already on the hilt of his sword.

At that moment, Killieman was ready to take action.

The atmosphere became extremely delicate, as if a major battle was about to break out.

“Nemes might be in the eastern suburbs. Why did you suppress the news and not inform me?” Lotus questioned, then drew his sword and pointed it at Guilliman.

Killieman was taken aback, then realized that Lotus had come for this very reason.

So Guilliman didn't hesitate to reveal the reason: "Someone has recently been plotting against an important church asset, and it's someone from within the church. I suspect it's you, which is why I temporarily ordered a full-scale monitoring of the grid information and suppressed the message sent by the Levin family, to see if you will suddenly return soon."

Lotus usually works on the backs of other whales. Although the two floating whales are not too far apart, activating the teleportation array is not easy.

Under normal circumstances, as the Grand Master of the Black Sky Whales, Lotus could use his privileges to erase or disguise teleportation records using the teleportation array.

Therefore, Lotus's whereabouts cannot be determined based on transmission records.

That's why Killman set this 'trap'.

If Lotus did not receive news from Nems, he would still appear on the back of the Azure Whale, under the pretext of receiving news from his family.

That basically means that Lotus was actually in the blue sky during this period, not in the dark sky.

This also confirms that it was Lotus who plotted to steal the souls of the guilty.

"Hmph!" Lotus snorted coldly, but still offered an explanation: "I just teleported here, and both the Black Sky Whale and the Azure Sky Whale sides have plenty of witnesses!"

"Old Joe was also on Black Sky's side at the time." Joe was a Gold Saint Paladin from another faction on Black Sky's side, so it was highly unlikely that he would give false testimony for Rost.

After saying all this, Lotus vanished from Guilliman's sight in an instant, speeding towards the eastern suburbs.

He will make Nems, the one who killed his son, pay the price.

At this moment, Guilliman's expression changed, and he quickly headed towards the church cemetery.

He secretly intercepted the message being sent to Lotus, allowing Lotus to receive the message at this crucial moment.

This indicates that someone bypassed the restrictions he set to notify Lotus.

If Lotus hadn't remained calm and had actually fought with him without any communication, that would probably have been exactly what the mastermind wanted.

Even so, Lotus managed to hold himself off for quite some time.

He wanted to ask Lotus to go to the cemetery with him, but he also knew that Lotus was determined to avenge his son. Forcing him to go to the cemetery at this time would only cause conflict and delay things.

"It feels like everything is meticulously calculated."

"And it was calculated by someone who knows us very well!"

Killieman rushed into the cemetery.

Contrary to Guilliman's expectations, the cemetery was not currently the scene of a battle.

On the contrary, the cemetery at this time was a rare peaceful place in Kisen City.

Killieman walked through the cemetery, deliberately slowing his pace.

Then I saw a tall, thin old man doing farm work with a shovel.

"Barthaze, no one's coming to the cemetery, is there?" Killieman said with a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no problem with the other party.

"without……"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Killman swung his sword.

The once peaceful cemetery was instantly transformed.

Vast swathes of illusion shattered.

The cemetery, now completely destroyed, was revealed, along with a 'young man' standing not far away.

Upon seeing the other person, Killieman involuntarily closed his eyes, his expression showing some pain.

"It's you, Clement!"

This young man was none other than the golden-blooded priest who had examined the soul of the Holy Son Nemus.

Chapter 350 Forbidden Past

“Killiman, why can’t it be me?” Clement asked with a smile, some parts of his body still showing traces of light before returning to normal flesh and blood.

Clearly, he is still in the critical transformation period of a Gold-type priest, but judging from the illusion spells he is currently casting, he seems to have, to some extent, broken free from the situation where it is difficult to fight for a long time during the transformation period.

“I was a clergyman a few years earlier than you, and I had greater talent and opportunities. I quickly reached the Gold rank.” Clement was not in a hurry to make a move, but instead began to reminisce.

He had already become a golden seed about two hundred and fifty years ago.

For many years, his body has been in this period of transformation.

In the early stages, things were alright; the transformation wasn't too severe, and I was still able to be active for a few hours each day.

Two hundred years later, he could only move once every few days, and each time it lasted for less than an hour.

Often, he was like an object, constantly being transported to various places. Once he was able to move again and did some things for the church, he would immediately become unable to move again and had to return to his specially made place to lie down.

"When my son died, I was lying down and couldn't move."

"I was on a transport route when my apprentice died."

“Priest…heh.” Clement couldn’t help but say, hatred inevitably appearing in his eyes.

This is also the pastor's biggest challenge—the transformation through light.

As his faith deepened, the priest's body became a complete burden during his golden age.

At this point, the priests of the golden race actually have two choices.

One of them is the beginning of the use of magic body techniques, which involve using various spells to strengthen the body.

Most spellcaster classes do the same.

The other is photochemical transformation.

During this transformation process, the body is influenced by spiritual beliefs, resulting in a photochemical reaction.

After the event concludes, the golden-type priest's body will transform into an 'elemental-like life form'.

In that situation, there would naturally be no limitation that the body cannot bear the mental strain.

However, there is a huge problem with this: the pastor's spirit is highly linked to his faith.

This process affects not only the body but also the mind.

In other words, it is the degree of harmony between one's own spirit and beliefs during this process.

The higher the compatibility between them, the easier the photochemical transformation becomes.

“The problem is that I’ve seen too many things that don’t conform to the doctrine, and I’ve done too many similar things myself, and so has God.” Clement blasphemed without hesitation.

Suddenly, Clement saw glimpses of his past.

At that time, he had not yet become a Steel Seed; as a Black Stone Seed, he encountered the Church's filth.

As a trainee priest, he witnessed priests and paladins colluding with each other, even working with demons to treat humans as resources for various benefits.

When he exposed them, the clergy even argued that God did the same thing.

These words were unacceptable to him until the escaped demon came to him.

The other party did not discuss cooperation with him from the beginning, but instead asked him to rescue a group of children, a group of children from a child molestation brothel.

Clement, of course, did not believe in the demon, but he did investigate and found that it was indeed true.

In a nearby town, a pastor named Iron Man opened what was originally a church welfare home.

Of course, besides child molestation, the lower-ranking officials also followed suit and opened brothels for the elderly.

Clement's worldview was shattered at that time.

Welfare homes, nursing homes, and the like are essentially institutions established by the church for the purpose of maintaining social order.

However, it has now become a tool for some people to profit from.

Most of the elderly people in nursing homes are those who have difficulty moving around or speaking clearly.

Clergy members secretly provide various services to the outside world, including but not limited to prostitution, torture, and murder.

Furthermore, if the bone is not broken, half of the project cost will be refunded.

Because they also provided complete skeletons for some alchemists and wizards.
