221: Pastor, I'm reporting

In the previous battle, Xu Le seemed impressive, but Spu's Physical Body attributes were far inferior to those of a werewolf. Had it not been for the assistance of his Divine Soul and the power of the Indestructible Battle Staff, he would have been exhausted long ago.

Even so, while the werewolf appeared to have been beaten miserably, it hadn't actually suffered any fundamental damage.

He was just a hair's breadth away from revealing his main identity and risking being discovered by the angels to kill all the wolves here.

"Son of God, are you alright?"

Andre's arm was injured, but his first concern was Xu Le's safety. Previously, he had been somewhat skeptical, but whether it was the two demon corpses from before or the heroic figure moving among the wolves just now, this old knight had been completely won over... The campfire blazed brightly.

Xu Le sat to the side, refining the succubus heart. White Holy Light gathered on the pink heart, adding a touch of holiness to it.

Several Knight Retainers stole glances at the priest who was younger than them, their hearts swelling with emotion: "This is how a true man should be!"

After a night of refining, the pink heart was slowly filled with Holy Light, every inch of it now bearing Xu Le's mark.

Dawn broke.

Andre didn't dare make the decisions himself and took the initiative to ask, "Son of God, what shall we do now?"

"This place is adjacent to Ku Mu Fort, yet demons are swarming here; it is truly an oversight on our part. Since we have encountered them, we must naturally exterminate them one by one!"

Now assuming the identity of a priest, Xu Le was focused on spreading Holy Light to every corner and had no intention of capturing a powerful pet for protection.

Of course, if he happened to come across one, he wouldn't mind catching it.

Sir Andre was highly experienced and had served as a hunter for a time before becoming a knight, giving him a unique talent for tracking.

Soon, the group arrived at a Black Forest. Even from a distance, they could smell a strong, foul stench of wolves.

"Form ranks!"

Andre gave the order, and the Knight Retainers gripped their swords with both hands, ready to charge at any moment.

Xu Le chanted an incantation, and white Holy Light gathered around him, soon illuminating him like a being of light, as if a deity had descended to the world.

[Rapid Spellcasting]

[Holy Light Burst]

The latter was currently the most powerful Spell he had mastered. Chanting the incantation alone took over a minute. On a battlefield, it would have almost no practical value unless one was protected by a large group of knights.

The wolf pack in the Black Forest sensed the gathering Holy Light and woke up from their slumber one by one. Seeing only nine people outside through the darkness, they were filled with extreme rage.

Even the Holy See shouldn't dare to come knocking with only nine people.

However, when they saw Xu Le among the group, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and their noses began to throb with pain.

Seeing the increasingly surging Holy Light, Baker's eyes turned cold, and he lowered his head to roar, "Go!"

But it was too late!

Xu Le had been suppressing the Holy Light all along; by the time they discovered it and he could no longer hold it back, the Spell was already at the point of release.

Five river-like streams of Holy Light shot out from his staff, instantly illuminating the Black Forest.

Years of cold and darkness melted away like snow, and the lingering resentment that had occupied the place for years was washed into nothingness by the Holy Light.

Under the Holy Light, all sinister things were cleansed away.

The wolves wailed as the dark magic within them rapidly dissolved. Some werewolves with insufficient Bloodline purity were forced back into human form and died in agony from the Bloodline backlash.

Andre left only two men to protect Xu Le and immediately led the rest of the Retainers to finish off the survivors.

Xu Le instantly consumed half of his mana, and his body felt somewhat overwhelmed, but he didn't rest. Instead, he continued to chant the same incantation.

One more time!

"Priest, stop!"

Seeing a large number of his clansmen dying, Baker hurriedly jumped out to stop him. "We have never harmed humans! We usually live by hunting wild animals and have even planted a field of wheat. Spare us! We yearn for the light in our hearts, but we are limited by our Bloodline. Believe me!"

Xu Le's mouth twitched. The resentment purified by the Holy Light just now was not small. It could only be said that they were relatively restrained, but they definitely ate humans.

"Lord Priest, please, you must believe us. The lingering resentment here was left by our ancestors. Starting from my father's generation, we have been moved by the light and are determined to be good people."

Baker became increasingly respectful, raising his hands with a tearful face, and even looked like he wanted to kneel to Xu Le.

When he was within ten meters of Xu Le, he suddenly kicked off with both feet and leaped into the air, flying toward Xu Le while swinging his claws repeatedly, clearly intending to deliver a fatal blow.

"Kill!"

Seeing their leader take action, the morale of the other giant wolves soared, and they followed suit, beginning their charge.

Xu Le shook his head. "How much can the trickery of beasts amount to? It only adds to the laughter!"

He took out the succubus heart from his robes, triggered the magic power in his body, and at the moment the wolf king approached, he pressed the heart into the other's chest.

"Roar—" Baker felt a sharp pain in his heart and felt as though all his strength was being drained by it, causing him to kneel powerlessly before Xu Le.

"This—"

The wolf pack collapsed, and the morale that had just been sparked instantly crumbled.

Xu Le stepped forward and chanted an incantation. A "Holy Light Illumination" that took only a second to cast shot into the eyes of two giant wolves that were still putting up a desperate resistance.

The giant wolves' vision blurred, and their movements stiffened. Andre's sword pierced through one's heart, and it fell powerlessly to the ground.

Another giant wolf roared excitedly in the wolf language, "Lord Wolf King, kill that priest and avenge Bobby and Ball!"

Baker forced himself to jump up, thinking of striking the priest even if it cost him his life. However, his heart instantly stopped beating, and his strength was drained once more, leaving him slumped on the ground.

"Traitor! Sinner!" (Wolf language)

The last resisting giant wolf was stabbed through the heart, murmuring unwillingly.

The surrounding giant wolves were filled with despair and could no longer muster the thought of resisting, surrendering one after another.

Their leader had already surrendered; what was the point of continuing the fight?

More than ten giant wolves heavily injured by the Holy Light were tied together. The seven Knight Retainers looked at Xu Le as if they were looking at a deity.

If he weren't a True God in this world, how could he be so powerful?

Xu Le took a walk around the Black Forest and indeed saw a sizable wheat field. The golden wheat had already begun to ear, but due to the lack of sunlight, it grew even worse than the fields outside. It was clear that these giant wolves were not living well.

Aside from that, there were only some bones covered in teeth marks that couldn't be chewed, some from animals and some from humans.

Baker groaned in pain, "Priest, what did you do to me?"

"You're asking the obvious. Kneel!" Xu Le's voice was cold; though not loud, it was full of majesty.

Baker's expression changed drastically. If he truly knelt in front of his clansmen, he would never be able to hold his head high again.

He straightened his knee joints, yet in the next second, he knelt straight down before Xu Le.

A ruthless glint flashed in Baker's eyes, and his right claws popped out, intending to dig out his own heart. However, his heart then stopped for another second, draining all his strength.

He trembled all over, his lips quivering. "Priest, I'll report it—the Vampires have captured a large number of humans."
