Chapter 510: The Saint Lady Repeatedly Omens Bad Omens - Sword Hanging Above Her Head

The purpose of the Black Shepherd Rice's coming here was to find an opportunity to sneak into Sheldon Castle and assassinate Viscount Cashen and Tan Aili.

This is a dangerous but significant mission. In the eyes of the church, Viscount Kashin and Tan Aili are people who must be eliminated.

Their existence may threaten some of the church's interests or plans. However, the development of things is far beyond Rice's expectations. Shadowmoon City is much more dangerous than imagined.

The reason why Viscount Kashen and Tan Aili were so hated by the church was mainly because they offended the church’s armed forces too badly.

Their actions or decisions had a huge impact on the church's armed forces and seriously touched the bottom line of the church. This made the Pope personally issue a kill order to eliminate these two people.

And Kuromakur Rice, as a force secretly cultivated by the church, was entrusted with this assassination mission.

Although this masked, thin figure may seem inconspicuous, he shoulders a great mission.

If Rice successfully completes the mission, she will be able to return to Gospel Island to serve as the Saint.

This was an extremely tempting reward for her. Once she became a saint, she would enjoy a status second only to that of the Pope. On Gospel Island, saints had extremely high power and a respected status, and could participate in many core affairs of the church.

However, now it seemed that she would most likely fail in Shadowmoon City. The numerous obstacles in Shadowmoon City were like an insurmountable chasm before her.

The massacre of the village occurred, and this cruel act left them with nowhere to hide.

This massacre of the village may have been part of their plan, but it also became the fuse that exposed them. Then, they were blocked in the basement by the magician, which was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

The basement was like a closed cage that trapped them. More importantly, there was a dark element detector that easily locked their location.

This dark element detector is an extremely sophisticated magical device that can keenly sense the dark element fluctuations on the dark priest.

This shows that magicians have already reached a very in-depth level in their research on shadow priests.

Magicians have done extensive research on shadow priests, and in fact, there is a deep historical origin behind this.

More than a thousand years ago, a fierce battle took place between the church and the magician community.

It was a protracted and extremely brutal war. Both sides invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and the scale of the war swept across many territories.

In this war, both sides suffered heavy casualties, countless lives were lost in the flames of war, the earth was stained red with blood, and the city was reduced to ruins.

After the war, both sides realized that continuing to fight would only bring more destruction and casualties, so they signed a non-aggression treaty that has continued to this day.

Until the Pumasai Kingdom and the Church started fighting, this was a major turning point.

As a human empire, the Kingdom of Pumasai openly resisted the rule of the church, which caused an uproar at the time.

The magicians took the opportunity to join the game. They saw this opportunity and tried to gain their own benefits in this fight.

As a result, the situation gradually evolved into what it is now. The forces of all parties are entangled with each other, forming a complex and delicate balance.

The church and the magician group were rivals in the past, so how could they not study each other after signing the treaty? Paladins are a good example, they are a type of soldier that restrains magicians.

The birth of the Paladin was carefully crafted by the church based on the combat characteristics of the magician. They have strong defense and resistance to magic, and are specially used to counter the magic attacks of the magician.

However, in the war of Pumasay, due to various reasons, the Paladins did not have the opportunity to fully display their power.

This war is full of variables and uncertainties, and the relationship between the various forces is also undergoing subtle changes in the war...

She knelt quietly on the ground, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and began a prayer longer than ever before.

She looked so pious, as if she was dealing with the last important matter in her life, solemn and dignified. She whispered to the Lord her innermost thoughts and wishes, and every word was filled with sincere emotion.

When she finished praying, an unprecedented sense of peace came over her, as if all her worries and fears had vanished at that moment. This feeling of peace was like warm sunshine penetrating the clouds, spreading all over her body, filling her with strength.

However, the environment she was in at the moment was not optimistic. Thick black fog filled the air, blurring her vision and making it difficult to see clearly.

Rice's figure loomed in the black fog, like an illusory ghost. Her cultivation was obviously higher than that of her companions, which enabled her to remain calm in such a difficult situation.

At this time, the front and back doors of the stone house were tightly guarded, and it was almost impossible to escape from these exits... In desperation, she turned her thoughts to the roof. So, she carefully stepped out of the low door of the basement, trying her best to hide her figure in the darkness.

Although there were some mercenaries on duty hiding in this place, due to her extremely cautious actions and the thick black fog surrounding her, those ordinary mercenaries could not detect the existence of this mysterious Black Priest at all.

The silver wolf that had been guarding outside the door suddenly seemed to sense something unusual. It stood up suddenly, and all the hair on its body instantly exploded, standing up like an angry lion.

Obviously, it smelled something unusual and responded immediately.

But at this moment, the silver wolf quickly lay down on the ground as if receiving an order.

It turned out that its owner had ordered it to be quiet through the mental connection. At the same time, Anqi, a night owl far away, was rushing over...

Kashin has always demonstrated extraordinary ability to use mental power. He is like a precise detector, always locking onto the target with mental power.

This ability had been fully demonstrated in the previous battle, just as he had relied on his mental power to detect and locate the target with such accuracy.

At that time, he shot the opponent with an extremely humiliating projectile, which seemed to be a provocative way of attack, but in fact it was a reflection of his absolute confidence in his own abilities.

He accurately calculated the distance, angle, and possible reaction of the opponent's sharpshooter, and completed this series of complex operations in an instant with his powerful mental strength.

While searching for an ambush site, Night Owl Anqi used her keen intuition to discover that this place was unusual, while Kashin further used his powerful mental power to penetrate numerous obstacles and lock onto the life form in the basement.

During this process, he was like the master of this area, able to see what was happening in every corner.

However, as the situation developed, he could sense the arrival of a large number of magicians in the meditation state. The appearance of these magicians made the situation much easier.

So, Kashin made a wise decision, which was to just focus on one target.

This shift in focus was not random, but was based on his accurate assessment of the overall situation. He knew very well that with the intervention of the magician, he didn't have to worry about the other targets.

Although dividing his attention among multiple targets may cause him to be full of loopholes, if he is fighting alone, he will take on the task without hesitation no matter how difficult it is.

The key to dealing with shadow priests is not to have a large number of people, but to discover and kill them remotely. Having a large number of people does not necessarily mean you can take them down.
