Chapter 379: The Yellow-Clothed Bishop, an Outstanding Employee
The sword witches left their dormitory because an attack from cult followers of the evil god had been confirmed.
They don’t need to be afraid of each other’s bad influence, so the next step is just one-sided suppression.
The followers of the evil god are actually not as strong as the shrine in solo combat, and the sword witches have a different way of fighting when they team up.
They and the followers of the evil god have been rivals for a long time, having fought each other many times. They confirmed the stronghold of the evil god’s followers in less than ten minutes.
When they found it, many followers died on the spot, with about seventy percent of the ritual site destroyed, and thirty percent barely surviving.
This is the price of summoning the evil god’s gaze – sacrificing part of one’s soul or life. The cost of a failed ritual is even more severe – more than half end up dead.
Up to this point, they have gained a lot, but they are still far from the end.
The hidden ones have not been found, only the abandoned ones remain. Where did the high-ranking missionaries, who were truly behind the scenes, go?
The followers of the evil god usually exist in nests, which can be compared to a company. The high-ranking missionaries are like assistant managers who listen to divine oracles and assign complex tasks.
It takes more than just being a regular assistant manager to attract the attention of the evil god this time. It is highly likely that they are the general managers who assign business tasks to the assistant managers in each region.
He could even move the power of the Shogunate, so he is definitely not a small character.
In fact, from Nishino Junko’s attempt to steal the blood of the evil god, it can be seen that not all followers of the evil god are true fanatics, because fanatics are often foolish, and intelligent people mostly maintain a cooperative relationship with the evil god.
Missionaries at Far East University try to seek revenge by harnessing the power of the evil god.
The priest in the holy church seeks to strengthen himself through obtaining the mysterious power of the evil god.
The higher the position, the stronger the dependence on the evil god, but it doesn’t necessarily mean being completely devoted. It means it is difficult to distinguish.
The infiltration and erosion of Goryeo Island on Yingzhou is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface. There must be a part of the high-ranking people who have willingly or unwittingly come into contact with the evil god.
After all… mystery is so sweet and tempting, who would be willing to live an ordinary life forever?
Nobody wants to be ordinary, and the mysterious gift from the evil god is the easiest to obtain.
Ordinary people struggle their whole lives, pursuing wealth, power, and just a little longer life and better quality of living.
But the person with mysterious powers can reach the sky in one step, instantly crossing social classes and even the ladder of life.
Therefore, it is not very difficult to make some people fall, just one temptation is enough.
However, these people are often clever and cherish their lives. They won’t easily appear on the chessboard, nor give others a chance to devour them. It is almost impossible for them to expose themselves, unless… they feel that they are just one step away from winning.
…
"Someone has broken in." A sword witch walked back from the corridor, interrupting the commotion inside the room.
At this moment, Yoshine Ise held onto the blanket tightly, refusing to let go, in case the girl next to her would pull her clothes apart.
The other girls claimed it was because Yoshine Ise had just sweat a lot and they wanted to wipe her back for her.
In reality, they were just curious about Yoshine Ise’s cup size, leading to a boring argument that lasted for ten minutes.
Bai Wei was originally lying on the sofa like a corpse, even shutting off unnecessary senses. But upon hearing this sentence, he immediately sat up.
Secretly preparing, the girl startled him with a knee pillow when he wasn’t paying attention.
"Weapon…" Bai Wei just said out loud.
The sword witches all instinctively reached for the weapons within half a foot of their bodies.
Despite their playful nature, they were undoubtedly well-trained warriors who had experienced several life-and-death battles, always having their swords by their sides.
Bai Wei walked towards the door and said, "If you have the guts to break in, feel free to come and meet me."
There were only six sword witches left, and apart from Yoshine Ise who had no combat ability, Igarashi had also changed into sports attire and left with his sword.
Since arriving at Yingzhou, Bai Wei, who had always fought alone, regained his former feelings.
When he was a mentor, after the team was formed, he was responsible for controlling the battles, commanding and moderating, only taking action when necessary.
It was similar when he was an emperor, where he rarely acted personally and instead waved his hand to let his subordinates handle things.
Bai Wei stood on the third-floor corridor, looking down at the green area in front of the Sword Witch apartment building. He saw multiple shadows appearing.
One of the shadows flew by, catching Bai Wei’s attention. He tilted his head and dodged the flying object aimed at his neck. He used his thumb and index finger to catch the flying bone spike and broke it with his bare hands.
"There are three below," Igarashi Shimizu said, already stepping on the railing.
"Not only that, there are four," a Sword Witch reasoned while adjusting his glasses. "There’s one hiding in the tree."
"There’s also one underground," said the girl with twin ponytails.
Bai Wei threw his Crouching Tiger Sword, and the blade pierced the ground. A small mound of earth emerged briefly before collapsing.
She corrected herself, "Now, it’s gone."
The Sword Witches exchanged glances and immediately split up. Except for Igarashi, they formed two teams, each heading towards their own targets.
Unlike the others who jumped off the building, Bai Wei took the stairs and reached the ground. He retrieved his Crouching Tiger Sword from the ground.
"Come out, I see you."
As the sound fell, he swung the Crouching Tiger Sword in the air, and there was a tiger roar in the air.
People can hide, but their blood cannot be hidden.
A hidden figure emerged from nowhere, raised their hand and shattered the sharp sword aura.
[Bishop in yellow robes]
[Overall Level: 52]
Level fifty and above… No wonder they can hide so well, they can already sense the space.
Placed in the magician system of Europa, level fifty is a watershed, it is called the ‘Holy Domain’.
Bai Wei looked at the person’s name above their head, it must be a trusted and capable warrior under an evil god, but he didn’t quite understand.
"Make your subordinates distract the attention of the sword witch, and sneak in alone, do you really… want to take my life like this?"
"Your name is written in the Gospel."
"The Gospel?" Bai Wei had only heard of the Gospel of the Sacred Religion, which was a timeless scripture and a book that spread the teachings of the gods.
The bishop in yellow didn”t explain, but said in a low voice, "But I never expected that you didn’t die! By the gaze of our god, a person’s soul can be corrupted in just a short moment, so why didn’t you die?"
He questioned, as if Bai Wei’s survival was a disrespect to him.
"So, you came in person?"
"I had to come personally! In order not to lose the Gospel and the favor of the gods."
The bishop in yellow gnashed his teeth. He was very unhappy with his exposure. As a follower of the evil god at his level, he had transcended the level of ordinary believers and become a representative of the evil god on Earth. Once he appeared, it was inevitable that he would be targeted.
Yingzhou’s pond is shallow and full of turtles. There might be foreign institutions hidden somewhere. He had infiltrated here for more than twenty years, diligently developing his base, expanding his business, recruiting employees and believers. As a result, this operation almost completely destroyed the twenty years of his hard work.
His heart was bleeding, but he could don”thing about it because the prophecy had declared so. The Gospel had engraved a death command, and if he couldn’t complete it, everything given to him by the evil god would be taken back. It was a do-or-die mission.
A poor worker struggling.
The Bishop in yellow robes couldn’t understand. He had tried every possible means, even catching the attention of the evil god, yet Bai Wei remained alive. The Bishop had to personally intervene and couldn’t even leave himself a way out. How could he not be furious and frustrated?
The Bishop in yellow robes stared at the enemy of the evil god, saying, "Once I kill you, everything will be back on track."
Bai Wei said, "Before I die, can you tell me one thing? Why were you targeting me?"
The Bishop in yellow robes fell silent for a moment and surprisingly spoke, "Fine, consider it a parting gift. I’ll tell you."
"Hmm?" Bai Wei asked casually, not expecting him to actually answer. Was he really that naive?
"Because that’s what it says in the Gospel."
"And the reason?"
"I don’t know!"
The bishop in a yellow robe spoke with confidence and anger. He stared at Bai Wei and shouted, "I don’t know!"
He was not only simple-minded but also furious and annoyed. He had no idea what Bai Wei had done to be put on the hit list of the evil god. He was even willing to abandon the established business on Yingzhou Island, which had been running smoothly for twenty years, just to get rid of him at all costs.
The evil god may hold grudges, but they’re not foolish! Rebuilding such a foundation would be incredibly difficult!
He felt that all his years of youth had been wasted. His achievements were lost, and his life was in danger. In his fury, he just wanted to tear the other person to pieces as quickly as possible. The space twisted and shattered amidst his roaring, and invisible arms surged towards Bai Wei, instantly creating deep gorges on the ground.
Then he heard the other person respond with the same level of anger.
"Why are you shouting so loudly?"
"If you’re not satisfied, go find the evil god, then."
"Damn lunatic!"
Bai Wei’s eyes lit up with a golden glow. With a step on the ground, the ripples in the space were immediately smoothed out by Golden Power, and the violent energy ripples shattered the invisible hand.
Drawing the remaining soul power, the ability was activated directly. A phantom giant appeared in front of the Sword Witch tower, and the emperor’s five fingers descended.
One clap, one shake, one press.
The health bar of the Bishop in yellow clothes was reduced to zero in seconds and was pressed into a piece of paper, literally a piece of paper, flattening the space.
Bai Wei looked at the bishop who had already returned to the 2D world, and the brilliance of the ability faded away…
He sighed deeply, realizing that he couldn’t go back. He was destined to go further and further on the path of invincible instant killing. He could never return to the past where he relied on wit, skill combinations, attribute advantages, and scraping to deal damage. The excellent employee Golden Power was really useful, but the newly appointed employee Crouching Tiger Sword wasn’t quite capable.
It just had a bit of a high cost. Bai Wei felt a wave of dizziness and a stabbing sensation like steel needles stirring in his brain.
[The event has ended]
[Obtained: Bishop’s Gospel, True Blood of the Dark God, Knowledge of the Madman]
There was a sound in his ears, and he lay down contentedly. The event was over, and the danger alarm was lifted.
Before closing his eyes, he faintly saw a worried figure walking down from upstairs. It was Yoshine Ise…
Wait, she can walk? The green light on her body is… a healing spell?
Looking at the approaching Yoshine Ise, Bai Wei realized that she might have seen everything, but before he could speak, the power went out.
The last thought was: Oh no, I hope I didn’t expose myself…
