Xia Ya's dark gaze, like that of a hungry beast, made the thug feel very uncomfortable all over.
It was obvious that they were the ones who came here to burn, kill, loot and cause destruction, and those in the academy were the lambs to be slaughtered.
But the male student in front of him made him feel as if he was the host, as if he was the sheep being targeted by wolves.
But, no matter what.
At least the other party's statement of the doctrine of his faith was accurate to the letter.
And when he was telling the story, his expression was filled with irrepressible excitement and excitement.
That expression was definitely not fake, only the most fanatical believers would have that look.
I didn't expect that in an elite institution like Saint Laurent College in the imperial capital, I could actually meet supporters of our Ash Doctrine.
Thinking of this, the thug's expression softened a bit: "In a country ruled by heretics, you can still listen to the teachings of my Lord. This is very precious."
...
...
"That's right. I'm an old FFF member. When I see those couples showing off their affection, I want to burn them all to death."
Xia jumped down from the **, rubbed his hands excitedly, and took a few steps closer to the black-robed thug.
"It's just a pity that the royal family of this damn heretical country has always been suppressing the Lord's teachings, so I can only lie dormant and pretend to be an atheist."
"But now it's good, we finally found the organization!"
"Can I join the organization now? We are both supporters of the Lord of Ashes."
Char's enthusiasm made the black-robed thugs a little uncomfortable.
He avoided Xia's burning gaze somewhat unnaturally and said in a deep voice: "The requirements for joining the cult are extremely strict."
"Only the most devout believers can pass the test."
"Moreover, during the assessment, if your faith in the Lord is even slightly unsteady, you will be burned to ashes by the Lord's black flames."
"If you are ready, then after this matter is settled, I can take you to the Patriarch to apply for the missionary ceremony."
"No problem. Our faith is strong and we will definitely pass the test."
Xia agreed without hesitation, then suddenly moved closer to the black-robed thug and lowered his voice, "Speaking of which, is the organization going to take any action at Saint Laurent College?"
"I have been here for three years and I know the terrain of this academy very well, as well as the strength distribution of tutors and students of each grade in the academy."
"It would be the highest honor for me if I could use this information to help the Lord accomplish His will."
Listening to Char's words, the black-robed thug frowned slightly.
However, considering the terrain and information about strong men that the other party had mentioned, it could indeed be of great help to their actions.
Finally, he nodded and said, "The Lord has sent down an oracle that the royal family of the Foresta Empire is stubborn and has repeatedly refused to preach. They should be punished."
"The Patriarch has led us here for this purpose."
Xia Ya quickly added: "It should be so."
"But this place is adjacent to the imperial capital. Moreover, even if we don't count the president and vice president of the academy, there are several deans of the branch who are at least four-ring beastmasters. There are also powerful people coming to help from the imperial capital at any time."
"No matter how powerful the Patriarch is, I'm afraid two fists cannot defeat four hands."
"So this time, in order to fulfill the Lord's oracle, the Patriarch should have brought the Lord's token with him..."
The black-robed thug glanced at Xia in surprise, as if he had not expected that Xia could infer so much information from just a few of his words: "That's true."
"The Patriarch brought with him a bone from the ashes of the Lord's body before he ascended to the throne."
"Oh, I see."
Xia lowered his head so that the black-robed thug could not see his expression: "Then... the phalanx bone that the Patriarch is carrying should also be of fire attribute."
"certainly."
"My Lord is the symbol of the world's hottest black flame, powerful enough to burn planes to ashes."
"Even if it is just a remnant of the incarnation before becoming a god, it must be the most powerful fire in the world..."
The black-robed thug's words came to an abrupt halt.
He finally realized something was wrong.
For some reason, from the very beginning, I developed an inexplicable sense of closeness and trust towards this student in front of me.
They even regarded him as a trustworthy member of the sect, and he answered almost every question he asked, whether it was something that should be said or not. But in fact, the two of them were clearly in a hostile relationship between thugs and victims.
He looked at Char suspiciously. A layer of flames lingered on the black sickle in his hand, indicating that his pet should be some kind of elemental creature with fire attribute.
"you……"
He raised his flaming sickle and pointed it at Char, but before he could even utter a word of questioning -
The next moment.
A bright light suddenly flashed, illuminating the dim sky.
The silver spear broke through the air.
It tears up the atmosphere, stirs up a storm, and pierces through everything that stands in its way.
After a tenth of a breath—
Snap——
That was the sound of a metal sickle falling to the ground.
The black-robed thug stared blankly at the sickle that fell to the ground, the flame attached to it was gradually disappearing.
This means that the life of the elemental pet attached to the sickle is rapidly fading.
The pet died without any damage to itself.
The only possibility is that the beastmaster who signed the contract with him has died.
The black-robed thug then looked down and saw the huge hole in his heart.
He just fell straight to the ground, his eyes wide open.
The black-robed thugs are considered elites in the Order of Ashes, otherwise they would not have been chosen by the priest to participate in the attack on Saint Laurent College.
With the strength at the peak of the second ring, he was the best among the students in Saint Laurent College, plus he had many years of experience in following the cult and fighting bloody battles.
Faced with these flowers in the academy that were watered in the greenhouse and had almost no practical experience, they should have been killed indiscriminately.
In fact, the black-robed thug did not die due to underestimation of the enemy and carelessness. He maintained a combat state as if possessed by his pet beast from beginning to end.
But he was still killed instantly and died with his eyes open.
"We just mean that his value has not been fully exploited yet—"
"Just now I was thinking about using Tsukuyomi to sneak into their team. Xiao Ai, there is actually no need for you to act so decisively."
Xia looked at the corpse in front of him and shook his head regretfully.
"What a shame. Next time, remember to leave them a breath after breaking their limbs."
Beside Char, Airola was wiping the blood stains off the silver spear in her hand with a tissue.
The academy uniform she was wearing had disappeared at some point, replaced by a silver-white skirt and armor. Her pretty face under the knight's helmet remained as cold and calm as ever.
"He pointed a knife at you."
Still an emotionless answer.
Xia understood the implication of what was said, and basically said, "I heard everything you said, and I understand the principle, but I may not do that next time."
"That can't be helped."
Char shrugged.
He knew the stubborn temper of his childhood sweetheart. Once he made up his mind about something, even ten pure-blooded dragons couldn't change him. So from the beginning, he didn't hold much hope in his persuasion.
"Rest in peace, brother."
Xia squatted down, reached out and gently closed the eyes of the black-robed thug.
"In fact, I still want to save your life."
"But who told you to touch the reverse scale of my tigress?"
