725 Three Sects, Total Victory

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On the deck of the massive flagship of the Light Church, Ji Chen looked at the uneasy man before him.

Just as Anina had described, this man did indeed appear quite peculiar. Beneath his human appearance lurked a strong demonic aura, and his body seemed somewhat abnormal.

Could he be, like Lainekel, another alchemical experiment of demons?

Ji Chen got straight to the point.

“Who are you, and why do you carry the taint of demons while aboard this vessel of the Light Church?”

Vida, filled with fear, replied, “Respected Lord, I have been infused with demonic blood, which has transformed me into this wretched form!”

“Demonic blood?”

“Yes, those cursed demons captured me and subjected me to experiments, forcibly infusing me with their blood to observe any changes. Even that wretched Bishop Plas, whom you have already slain, imprisoned, and tormented me on this ship!”

“Thanks to your victory over them, I managed to escape.”

“So you’re saying you were captured, and this has nothing to do with you?”

Vida nodded hastily, fear evident on his face. “Yes, I am also a victim. Why would I dare to offend you?”

Ji Chen raised his chin slightly, silent but piercing as if he could see right through him.

Under his scrutinizing gaze, Vida suddenly felt a sense of panic.

Damn it, could he have seen through his facade?

But apart from Plas, no one in the entire Light Church had ever seen him. Since the infusion of demonic blood, he had not been seen by anyone else. How could anyone know about him?

Thinking of Plas, Vida felt even more furious. That idiot, with so many followers, couldn’t even handle ten thousand enemies, and even while fleeing, he was slain. This was a disgrace to their “demonic followers”!

It didn’t matter if he died, but if it delayed the great plans under the auspices of the great Darius, then it would be a pity!

Hmph, this plan had to be executed by him personally.

As long as he killed this Lord of Glory before him, then this territory would naturally fall apart without a fight.

And now, a perfect opportunity lay before him.

Thinking this, Vida felt slightly more at ease. He put on an expression of panic, cleared his throat, and as if remembering something, hastily said, “My Lord, while I was being used as a test subject, I learned some information about the demons, which might be helpful to you.”

Ji Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, calmly saying, “If you can provide some valuable information, then I might consider trusting you.”

Vida’s face lit up with joy, nodding and bowing, “Of course, but this isn’t the place to talk. Could we discuss it in more detail in your domain?”

An appropriate opportunity was needed to assassinate this Lord of Glory. Within a three-meter radius, there were several powerful hero units. In such a situation, attempting a face-to-face assassination would be too difficult.

However, what left him stunned was Ji Chen’s immediate and unwavering shake of the head. “We’ll talk here.”

Damn it! Didn’t you notice that there are freaking corpses all around us? Aren’t you disgusted by it!?

How can I assassinate you without being alone with you!?

Cursing inwardly, Vida forced a smile on his face. “Respected Lord, is this…”

“Hmm?”

“Ahem, Bishop Plas has long been secretly corrupted by those demons, willingly becoming their lackey and puppet, just so he can survive when the demons invade the world in the future… Those ordinary followers were deceived by Plas and never doubted the false prophecies…”

Forced to provide some intelligence to deal with the situation, Vida presented seemingly valuable information. However, in reality, it was all harmless intelligence. Even if leaked, it wouldn’t have much impact on Darius’ plans.

Seeing Ji Chen nodding frequently, Vida felt secretly pleased. If he could gain the trust of this Lord of Glory, just like the alchemical experiment who betrayed the demons, he could expand his sphere of influence.

Thinking that he might make a great contribution and be appreciated by Lord Darius, Vida’s heart swelled with excitement, and his words became more spirited.

He rattled off sentence after sentence.

“The Light Church not only failed to help resist the enemy but also intended to launch an attack on your territory, willingly becoming puppets. It’s simply outrageous.”

“Oh? Who was Plas loyal to?”

A voice rang out leisurely, and under Vida’s excited momentum, he subconsciously said, “Of course, it’s under the service of Lord Darius. This hypocrite also wants to be infused with demonic blood to take my place…”

Suddenly, Vida realized his mistake, his face stiffened. Seeing Ji Chen and the heroes looking at him, his expression turned mournful.

The next moment, he suddenly sprang up, a dagger emitting a faint light appearing in his hand. He lunged straight at Ji Chen, but before he could thrust the dagger, a cold light flashed, and a severed arm along with the dagger flew into the air.

Vida felt no pain, his entire body undergoing a bizarre transformation, swelling up. A horn grew rapidly from his forehead like a bamboo shoot after the rain. His other intact arm quickly withered, turning into a demonic hand, its razor­sharp nails creating a gust of wind as they slashed out.

With a ferocious expression, he roared, “Die, you damn Lord of Glory!”

Ji Chen remained unfazed, not moving a muscle.
