Chapter 11 Closing the Net
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything..." said the priest who was covered in bruises.
"It would have been better if you had done this earlier, and I could have avoided the physical pain."
"I wanted to tell you from the beginning, but you didn't let me..." The priest wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Stop talking about those useless things, and tell us everything you know! Let's talk about the spell that can turn ordinary people into warriors first."
"That spell can turn people into berserkers. They lose their consciousness, can't feel pain, and only retain their primitive killing instinct."
"I heard that the saint also used this spell?"
"It's different. The saint used a spell that uses holy light to strengthen people's physique in a short period of time. It doesn't cause any harm to the body."
"Speaking of the saint, the saint of your Shalia sect is trapped in the devil's cave. Why doesn't your army come to rescue her?"
"The saint disobeyed the bishop's order to stop the advance, so the bishop naturally won't send anyone to rescue her."
"Oh? She is your saint, but she doesn't even pretend to do anything. There must be a story behind this." Richard walked over curiously.
"This..." The priest looked at the jailers around.
"Don't worry about them, just whisper to me..."
Richard grabbed his head and put his mouth close to his ear...
"Did you hear everything?"
After the interrogation, Richard came to the next room, where Saint Selena was sitting.
Selena nodded.
"How do you feel knowing that you have been abandoned? Are you interested in joining us? Your holy light healing is also effective for us. You know very well that we are not the evil described in your doctrine."
Selena shook her head and said, "I still believe in Thalia."
Richard was a little unhappy: "Even if you are abandoned, you still believe in this broken sect of yours! You believe in him, and those so-called gods have responded to you? You believe in him, and he has given you power? You believe in him, but you are still prisoners!"
Selena stood up and looked him in the eyes, and said firmly: "It is not because the prayers are responded to that people believe, but because of believing in us, they will have power."
"Unreasonable! Just be your prisoner!" Richard slammed the door and went out.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Vashj looked at Richard with an angry face.
Richard briefly explained the matter. Vashj thought for a moment and said, "She is a saint who has been trained by the church since she was young. She has been growing up under the Holy Light. Her belief in the Sharia sect is as firm as our belief in you. Our actions for such a long time are not enough to make her abandon her faith. However, we all know that the inside of their church is as dirty as the Holy Light. If the pure saint sees this scene, her faith may not be shaken."
"Huh! With her personality, I think she will purify the filth."
"But a beam of light pierces into the darkness, and she will only be swallowed by the darkness. When she finds that we are the only ones on this continent who can give her support, will she have any other choice? And once she relies on the power of us devils, can she still be called a saint?"
Richard nodded and said, "That makes sense, but I'm not in a very good mood now, and relieving my mood is the top priority now."
"Do you want me to call her over?"
"No need. If she wants to stay in the cell, she can stay in the cell. There are a lot of rats in the maze. These greedy guys have stayed here for too long. It's time to drive them out."
Richard stood still and ordered Vashj, "Pass the order, all troops enter the battle position, after I launch the attack, all personnel will launch a counterattack from all directions at the same time, and we must destroy all the invading enemies in the maze!"
"You will do it personally?"
"Yes, I will do it personally and execute the order!"
"Yes, master!"
The maze was full of fighting, crying, and begging for mercy. After the Berserkers' weakness was known, they were easily defeated. The adventurers who lost their shield could only resist the counterattack of Richard's army. The adventurers fought on their own and were divided and destroyed one by one by the well-trained soldiers. Richard, holding a big knife, rushed to resist the most stubborn adventurer team. Richard didn't know any fighting skills, just relied on the tough body transformed by tentacles to hack and slash at the front. Behind him, Vashj led a team of Naga royal guards to protect them desperately.
After Richard chopped off the team of adventurers, he stuck his knife into the ground, put his hands on his waist and said, "It's so comfortable, these damn adventurers, I told you to come in and pick up the equipment."
Vashj panted slightly and said, "Master, don't rush forward regardless of everything. Even if you are not afraid of getting hurt, what should we do if something unexpected happens?"
Richard looked at the panting and nervous people and had to wave his hands and said, "Okay, okay, catch the hero and we will retreat."
Vashj breathed a sigh of relief.
Richard curled his lips and should have sneaked out at that time.
At this time, the hero and several adventurers who followed her were resisting in a cave.
"Ha-ha-ha--" the young hero panted, "How come these demons suddenly became so strong..."
A dead body of a faceless man fell in front of the girl. Several adventurers beside her swallowed their saliva, not knowing how to answer.
"Someone else is coming! Get ready for a fight!" The young hero dragged her knife and looked at the group of people in front. The figure of the leader was so familiar. With the help of the faint light, the girl recognized him.
"It's you! You are a demon?" The girl looked at him in disbelief.
"Huh? Yes." Richard answered subconsciously.
The girl's face turned from surprise to iron blue and finally to anger. She roared "Liar" and raised her big sword to chop him. Richard raised his sword to block the blow, but the powerful blow still made Richard stumble back three steps. Vashj stepped forward to hold Richard.
Richard rubbed his shoulders and said, "Jin'er is really big, but this is a challenge. Don't bother, I'll deal with her."
"Master!" Vashj stood in front of him.
Richard moved Vashj away, "This is an order!" Richard
looked at the young hero, and suddenly he had a feeling of fighting monsters in his previous life, and he missed her very much. The young hero didn't know what she was thinking, and she raised her sword and slashed at Richard. Richard blocked left and right, but he didn't expect that the young hero had the same character as himself, and her attack method was also horizontal and vertical slashing, and the target of the sword was large, so it was easy to block.
"You suddenly became so violent, did you disguise as a detective a while ago? Is it that serious..." Richard complained while defending himself.
Suddenly, the girl flew into the air and slashed down fiercely. Richard raised his knife to defend himself, but...
"Ka" the knife could not withstand the power of the sword and broke into two pieces.
"Fuck!"
