234: Demon Knight

Jason took a small sip of coffee, and the rich, mellow flavor exploded on his taste buds. Every cell in his body was screaming: 'It's so delicious!'

He turned his head to look, and suddenly, his face paled in shock.

"Son of God, what's wrong?" Ketch asked curiously. For some time now, he had never seen the Son of God lose his composure.

"Get out, immediately! All of you!"

The four beautiful female knights ran out with teary eyes and pouting lips. Ketch dared not linger either, feeling as if something inside him was faintly shattering.

Jason looked at the Four-Winged Angel hiding on the side, his voice filled with anger: "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" After two months of training, Ghost had become a mature actor, handling the role of the Four-Winged Angel with ease and without any flaws.

Jason scrutinized the Four-Winged Angel carefully. Both its demeanor and appearance were exactly the same as in his memory. He suddenly spoke: "You are the one, you are eternal."

Ghost was about to continue the sequence instinctively, but a similar image flashed through his mind, and he immediately replied: "You are the light, you are the electricity, you are the eternal Son of God."

The secret code matched, yet Jason's brow furrowed even tighter: "That's not right. You aren't Diis. Who exactly are you?"

"I am Diis! I even got the secret code right!" Ghost was very angry.

"Who exactly are you!" Jason was furious. Originally, he hadn't been sure, but upon hearing Ghost's answer, he was completely certain that it wasn't him.

"I really am Diis." No matter how naive Ghost was, he knew he had messed up his master's mission. Feeling unwilling to give up, he continued to play dumb.

"Impossible, you absolutely are not!" Jason whispered, his voice sounding slightly distorted. As Ghost was explaining, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Jason secretly finished chanting the last syllable and pointed his staff. Five vast rivers of Holy Light shot toward Ghost, and in an instant, his body was obliterated into ashes.

"That's not right, the Holy Light isn't that strong!"

Jason turned his head sharply and saw the Four-Winged Angel floating behind him, its eyes full of anger at being ambushed.

"What. Are. You. Doing?"

Each word was enunciated clearly, containing raging fury.

Compared to being ambushed, Ghost was more furious that he had inexplicably messed up the task his master had given him. He was both ashamed and angry.

However, he still had a shred of reason left, keeping Xu Le's instructions in mind: do not kill Jason, lest the god of light have some means of sensing it.

"Son of God, what happened?"

Ketch and the four female knights rushed into the room and saw the Son of God confronting a Four-Winged Angel.

Ghost prepared to silence them, but a flash of inspiration struck his mind. He pointed at Jason and sternly shouted: "Audacious demon! How dare you impersonate the Son of God? Seize him!"

"Huh?" The five, including Ketch, were dumbfounded.

Jason, on the other hand, shouted angrily: "What kind of demon are you, daring to impersonate a Four-Winged Angel!"

Between the Son of God and the Angel, the five, including Ketch, found it easy to judge who was real and who was fake. Coupled with the prestige of Son of God Spu, the five did not hesitate to tie Jason up.

...

In Hell.

Xu Le dilly-dallied with the two Cardinals, spending another half hour to walk 500 meters.

Two Holy Knights suddenly rushed over: "Son of God, help! Satan has bewitched His Excellency the Pope, and Bishop Jushi has specifically ordered us to come here for reinforcements."

Qiusheng was shocked: "Impossible! Past notes record that sealing Satan went smoothly; how could an accident occur?"

Wencai questioned: "If the Pope were truly bewitched, Bishop Jushi should have ordered you to stop His Excellency the Pope. How could he send the two of you back to ask for reinforcements? Moreover, I don't think His Excellency the Pope could single-handedly take on Bishop Jushi and the others."

Knights are meat shields. Even though Holy Knights have high status, their role remains to protect priests. It is impossible to have the priests cover the rear while the knights return to report.

As the two spoke, they cast their gazes toward Xu Le, suspecting that he was eager to make a contribution and had bribed two of the accompanying knights.

Otherwise, why would he have gone to retrieve the 1 million gold coins so early?

Xu Le: "..."

The two did not notice that the two knights were getting closer and closer.

Xu Le noticed, but did not expose them.

Why should an impostor make things difficult for another impostor?

Surging sword light suddenly erupted. By the time the two realized it, it was already too late. Xu Le barely managed to throw out a 'Holy Light Imprisonment Spell' scroll, imprisoning one person in place, before he was torn apart by the sword light.

"Little Son of God, are you not afraid?" The two knights changed their expressions, looking down from above.

Xu Le turned around directly and headed back the way he came.

The two's eyes flickered, unsure of Xu Le's thoughts for a moment.

Xu Le didn't want any trouble. He chanted a Spell, and a Holy Light rose from under his feet, instantly transporting him two kilometers away.

Without stopping, he chanted the Spell again. Holy Light flashed around him, clearly preparing to use the Teleportation Spell again.

The figures of the two knights suddenly appeared. Xu Le voluntarily stopped the Spell, fearing that the other party might strike at the last second. Even for him, he would likely lose this Clone.

Currently, this Clone possessed the faith of the entire Beidian Continent; it was only one opportunity away from reaching Level 11 faith, and he couldn't bear to give it up.

"What do you want?"

"Lord Son of God, we have come to protect you!"

The two knights wore sincere expressions, though anyone who believed them had already died here.

Xu Le's eyes flickered as he chanted a Spell. The two knights silently approached, and when Xu Le's Spell was halfway through, they suddenly moved.

A ripple of space emerged. One knight appeared directly behind Xu Le, while the other knight launched a direct charge.

The two, one in front and one behind, sent two massive blade storms tearing toward the Xu Le in the middle, intending to shred him into pieces.

Xu Le did not stop chanting. With one hand, he tore open a scroll, and the suddenly appearing Holy Light froze the person behind him in place.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, his body moved like soft noodles, drilling directly through the gaps in the sword light.

The knight who had charged forward hurriedly braked and followed up by casting a Spell. A ripple of space came, and he appeared behind Xu Le.

'You have no memory!'

Xu Le shook his head, tore open another "Holy Light Imprisonment Spell" scroll, froze the person behind him, and then kicked the frozen knight away.

Both were frozen in place, unable to move. Even with their strength, their entire bodies would be stiff for 30 seconds.

【Summon Angel】

Two Angel Phantoms appeared out of thin air, both holding a Sword of Holy Light and a Holy Light Shield.

They each attacked the two.

The person Xu Le kicked away regained control of his body in the last second, narrowly dodging a sword strike.

The knight who had cast the blink Spell from behind remained motionless and was pierced through the chest by the Sword of Holy Light.

"Aww~"

Regret flashed in the knight's eyes. If he had just charged directly, he would have likely been able to dodge the "Holy Light Imprisonment Spell". The blink Spell was a divine art against ordinary priests, but to Xu Le, it was just a stationary target.

Under Xu Le's control, the Angel Phantom stirred the Sword of Holy Light, and in a short while, it ignited the opponent's burly body, turning it into flames that vanished between heaven and earth.

【Experience + 0】

Doing things without benefits is truly meaningless.

Xu Le shook his head and ordered the other Angel to surround and kill the remaining knight.
