Suddenly, numerous tiny wounds appeared on the bodies of the three people, and countless drops of blood splattered.

Sword of Fortune - Blood Shines Through the Night!

Chapter 341 The Attack

The extremely subtle flow of energy transformed into sword energy, densely enveloping everything around it.

Nemus's previous sword strike had already fallen into this trap.

Red-Eye II's eyes can fixate on moving objects; however, his field of vision is limited, and he cannot fix all air currents.

This move is precisely what can counter the opponent.

"You guys go quickly!" Red Eyes shouted. He could feel tiny sword energies flowing through his blood vessels, muscles, and internal organs.

Without treatment, this kind of injury would not last more than a few minutes.

Red light surged from their eyes, and the next moment, a huge explosion occurred in front of them, yet all was silent.

But this silence transformed into a kind of vibration.

The tremor unleashed a surging shockwave, scattering the tiny sword energies surrounding them and their bodies.

This is also the problem with the Blood Shining Night move: the Shining Night sword energy is small, sharp, concealed, and flexible.

However, precisely because of this, it is not very resistant to large-scale external influences.

As Nemus took a step, the wind around him was sliced ​​open.

With his face devoid of any expression, Nemus had become the most terrifying Grim Reaper.

“You can stay here. I don’t want to really kill you,” Nemus said softly, his words seemingly carrying a hint of apology.

But the sword in his hand was raised without any hesitation.

The next sword strike might take their lives.

"The person behind the scenes is just still a little doubtful about my combat strength, which is why they sent you three brothers to test me again."

"Confess what you know and you'll live. Don't go and die!"

Upon hearing this, Red-Eyed One retreated instead of advancing and charged towards Nemus.

They were just experimental subjects after all; they had no choice. Now, all he had to do was fight desperately to intercept Nemus.

The three brothers are all very capable, and their stats have been pushed to the limit through various research efforts.

They originally thought the three of them were just there to give a warning, and at first glance, Nemus's physical stats didn't seem that strong.

Therefore, they believed that as long as Nemus did not activate his sainthood, the three brothers working together could completely keep Nemus in check.

This time, he came over simply to say hello.

After all, they were all experimental subjects, and they could only become domesticated vicious dogs, but Nemus was able to have a resounding title of Holy Son.

Little did they expect that a single act of underestimation would come at a bloody price.

"Big Brother!" Red-Eyed Three called out.

He was the least injured because Red Eye Two's head had been tilted towards him, so the amount of Night-Shining Sword Qi lurking around his body was the least.

So, his eyes, which had only been slightly open, involuntarily opened wider.

The surrounding light elements seemed to be entangled by something, swarming towards his eyes.

Suddenly, it seemed as if the surroundings were about to be completely plunged into darkness.

"Ah San, don't be impulsive." Red Eye Two placed his hand on Red Eye Three's shoulder.

He knew clearly that although Red-Eyed Three's eyes were powerful, they also had significant limitations.

There's simply no way to harm Naim in the current situation.

And even the eldest brother alone couldn't stop Nemus.

"You go first!" Red-Eyed Two said, rushing towards Nemus.

The three of them had been together since birth, and there were many other people besides them at the time.

However, now only the three of them remain, and perhaps in the future, only Red-Eyed Three will be left.

"Our things have already been left to you, you know that. Live on!"

After saying that, Red-Eyes II rushed towards Nemus, his red eyes wide open, radiating a power that could freeze everything.

Nems looked at the two people who had come to their deaths and sighed helplessly.

He then said with a hint of apology.

"Sorry, it seems I have no choice but to kill you all." +3.

To be honest, the Red-Eyed Trio are quite capable, but unfortunately they lack combat experience.

After being ambushed by Nemus with a single Blood Night attack, he lost most of his fighting ability.

The two of them, relying on their Blood Courage and fighting style that disregarded their own lives, actually managed to hold off Nemus for more than ten seconds.

With a flick of Nemus's blade, the air, frozen in place, shattered, along with the opponent's head.

When Nemus looked up, all he could see was a tiny black dot in the distance.

“They’re not slow…” Nems then glanced at the slightly chaotic streets around him and at Rosali, who had already run far away, knowing that he still had to write a report.

The focus is on what happens in the eastern suburbs tomorrow, and what the mastermind will do in Qiquan City after they are transferred...

“Killiman and Gotthard are not the kind of people who are led by the nose.”

"It will probably be more troublesome to lure them away this time."

"Even if they manage to lure them away, the two of them might still have some tricks up their sleeves."

"So, what does that person plan to do?"

Nemus couldn't help but look towards the center of Airspring City, where the Abyss of Breath and the Cathedral were located.

Unlike Baiwei Town, Qiquan City is not divided into two regions, north and south.

The city of Kiquan is divided into thirteen districts.

Three of the areas are aristocratic areas, three are wealthy commercial areas, and six are commoner areas.

The last remaining area is the central area.

The other side is causing trouble in the eastern suburbs, using Rosali as a trap, all with the aim of luring Nems there.

Of course, they also used the Holy Son Completion Ritual to lure Sword Saint Nemus over there.

According to the other side's plan, the two Naims were bound to fight.

While two unstable factors are in conflict, the core fighting force of most churches is tied down.

Most church buildings are located in the central area.

Because the buildings are mostly constructed around the Abyss of Breath, they appear as a giant zero when viewed from the air, hence the central area is also known as Area Zero.

Having a vague premonition of what was going to happen, Nemes returned to the church and saw a somewhat helpless Gilman, as well as Warden Gerhard Gilka, whom he had met once before.

Luo Lisa escaped, and then the troublemakers arrived.

Of course, it could also be because I reminded myself.

Nems glanced at Sanwu, who was standing quietly behind him, to confirm that his message had been delivered.

However, before Sanwu could speak, the warden looked at Nemus and spoke first:

"Your Holiness, what a coincidence."

"I happened to be nearby and saw the prisoner escape from a distance."

"So I came to see Lord Guilliman, and there I found you, his deputy, complaining about me," the warden said with a chuckle.

Chapter 342 Special Area

Since Rosalis is an important experimental subject, and being exposed to the raging winds of the Abyss of Breath is one of the conditions for forging materials.

Therefore, Rosalis must never have been truly 'ignored'.

If Rosali can be imprisoned in the Abyss of Breath and ensured not to die during the process, then there must be a decisive force within the prison capable of protecting her.

If the warden wasn't the person in front of him, then Nems would have more suspects.

But once he becomes the warden, based on Nems's assessment of him, such a person would absolutely not allow outsiders to interfere in his prison department at will.

A quick check of the records is all it takes to confirm that the warden is definitely not an unrelated person; he can only be an accomplice of the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, the problem now is that everything is based on feelings and reasoning.

However, even though Guilliman trusted Nemes in this matter, he couldn't forcefully side with Nemes and arrest the warden.

Even when faced with the warden's challenge and questions regarding Rosalind's situation, he could only temporarily choose to 'delay'.

After all, what's happening now seems like a Rashomon-like situation.

Nemes said the warden was at fault, while the warden questioned Nemes for letting 'prisoners' go free and for failing to supervise them.

In this situation, Nemes had no evidence, while the warden's charges did not require evidence.

So even though Killman roughly knew that the warden might have some problems, he could only postpone taking action due to procedural constraints.

And that was Guilliman's personal choice.

He advocated for an elite order, believing that ordinary people were a mob, but that while elites dominated the order, they themselves also needed to abide by it.

Even if doing so often seems foolish.

However, if we don't do this, then those 'pseudo-elites' will use this power recklessly, thereby trampling on order.

Therefore, Killieman could only complain and remain vigilant at this moment.

He complained that Nems was not mature enough, his methods were not sophisticated enough, and he failed to discover the problem in time and stop Rosalind, thus falling into the enemy's trap.

The vigilance lies in one's own whereabouts.

He had actually gone to a certain area of ​​the cathedral, but he didn't want to rush out of that area without a care, so he was delayed for a while.

The lurking enemy was also very cunning; after Rosali ran away for a while, its presence mysteriously disappeared.

He was too far away to perceive the methods the other party was using.

"So... could it really be the Levin family?" Killieman couldn't help but be wary.

His whereabouts were kept strictly secret every day.

Anyone who can secretly know his whereabouts must be hiding a big secret within the church.

"Would they really cooperate with a fictional demon just for a single sinful soul?" Guilliman pondered at that moment.

The value of sinful souls is immense, and church members can also utilize them to achieve a breakthrough, thereby becoming special golden seeds.

But is it worth it for a great noble family to take this risk?

From the simplest perspective of benefits and risks, it doesn't seem worthwhile.

Keeleyman had been in power for nearly two hundred years, and he had seen far too many irrational nobles.

They naturally underestimate all risks and are capable of doing anything foolish.

"Perhaps it's only possible that some people in the family have such thoughts..." At this point, Killieman could only put aside his thoughts and not waste any more energy on those who were not thinking straight.

They sent the warden and Nemes away.

As they walked out of Killieman's office, Nems stared at the warden's somewhat obese figure and asked, "What is your purpose?"

“Young man, wait a little longer.” The warden pushed up his glasses, the reflection from the lenses obscuring his eyes.

"I can sense that you are also waiting. If I had met you sooner, I might have been able to endure it."

"But unfortunately, it's too late."

After saying this, the warden got into his carriage and drove away.

It's a bit of a shame about Nems.

In a fleeting moment, his "same kind radar" was triggered, realizing that the warden, like Kru, could be considered one of his own.
