Chapter 465 White Flower
Chapter 465 White Flower
"Siya Death God"
For decades, Chris had become a very terrifying synonym; almost every Cyart person was well aware of his name, as well as those bizarre and astonishingly terrifying deeds, one after another.
"Do you know about the Siya Death God?"
"Of course, that's the nightmare of countless people!"
In fact, many unsolved murder cases were attributed by those discussing him in taverns, restaurants, and streets to Chris Fischer.
For a time, any extremely bizarre murder case would be said to be lives taken by that Cyart "Death God," because that meant the case could no longer be pursued.
So, a lot of strange legends came into being like that.
The reputation of Chris also grew bigger and bigger.
Even many professional assassins from the Cyart, Carnian, and Vallere citizens took the "Siya Death God" as their idol.
Even the Rhea People knew all about his various stories and legends!
The Bone Blade of Chris fiercely stabbed into Flamme's waist.
Blood crazily gushed out, yet the expression of "Blood Flames King" Flamme showed no change.
"Chris... Death God... You can't take me away!"
He initially tried to heal himself by transforming life force through Monarch Level spiritual power, but it didn't work, so he attempted to cauterize the wound with flames only to shockingly find that he couldn't stop the bleeding.
Is this the power of the "Death God"?
Flamme couldn't help but ponder and speculate deep inside, why was the power of Bloodline possessed by the Fischer family so complex and varied?
There had to be a reason for this. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
Suddenly, Darren, Chris, and Flamme all looked up together!
A tiny crack opened in the sky, not accompanied by thunder and lightning, nor by stormy weather, but by countless pristine white petals falling lightly and densely onto the world like early winter snow.
"It's bad, huh, heh." As Darren saw this scene, while claiming it to be bad, he actually squinted without feeling it was unexpected.
That's right.
It absolutely had to be her.
Each of those white petals contained incredible Magic Power, more and more of them slowly twirling in the air, eventually gently covering the entire battlefield.
The sky, previously filled with gunpowder smoke, was at this moment covered by purity of white, with the faint scent of flowers in the air creating a stark contrast against the surrounding atmosphere of slaughter.
Flamme's nearly fatal wound, under the gentle touch of the white petals, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if time was reversing, erasing any sign of injury and pain.
His strength and will surged like never before, as if the God of Salvation itself was granting "Blood Flames King" the power to continue the fight.
Chris frowned upon witnessing this scene.
His power to prevent healing had been broken...
And it was not just that... the falling of those white petals disrupted his perception and judgement, his body and soul seemingly bound by an invisible force, unable to move through the battlefield as effortlessly as before.
"Elf Lian from the Salvation Church, come out now!" Darren roared.
Soon, an ethereal elf walked slowly into view, as if she were the brightest constellation in the sky, descending into this filthy world.
Her long hair poured down like the Milky Way, a flowing gleam of silver, each strand infused with the soft light of moonbeams, gently swaying with her steps, emitting a faint glow.
The eyes of the elf were especially rare treasures of the world, like two deep golden lakes, flickering with the light of wisdom and mystery.
Most striking was the skirt hem surrounded by a circle of continuously burning silver flame, a flame unlike ordinary, devoid of blistering heat but full of gentle, pure light, guarding the elf's soul.
She gazed at Darren Fischer and Chris Fischer, while Flamme also nodded respectfully toward the elf.
Aldrich, Ariel, and others could not help but look at that elf, knowing that she was a top-tier powerful expert of the Salvation Church, definitely possessing the formidable power capable of altering the course of battle.
A cool voice carried forth.
"Cyart people… your lack of reverence for the Divine makes you enemies of salvation, the gravest of sins in this world."
"Under the watch of the God of Salvation, I shall grant you annihilation."
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Darren could not help but burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest remark in the world, then he coldly said,
"Your Excellency Lian, that supposedly great God of Salvation has been quiet for decades! Yet you still speak in His name and only act on his behalf—how utterly hypocritical of you!"
His voice echoed between heaven and earth; every Monarch powerful expert present heard it loud and clear, with not the slightest respect.
"You want to expand, to invade, to seize, to vie for every interest in the world—just say it outright! Your current guise is utterly hypocritical!"
The elf stood upon a white flower, her expressionless face locked onto Darren Fischer as she shook her head slightly and spoke slowly.
"You have already defied the will of God, and it is fated that you will die here. The judgment I bring upon you holds no personal vendetta… it is merely the execution of the will of the great Lord of Salvation!"
"White Flower."
That was people's impression of Lian, the Elf Cardinal of the Salvation Church.
In fact, "White Flower" Lian's power of Bloodline was a peculiar plant, and the flowers she bore were not limited to one color of white. However, whenever she made an appearance, the first color of blossoms she released were always white, which also happened to be the most common color seen on and around her.
Thus, people called her the "White Flower."
As an elf, she was also perceived by many followers of the Salvation Church as the pure white flower, possessing unequaled sanctity.
Lian was born in the Silver Moon City of the western Ouden Continent, but instead of worshiping the Silver Moon Lady, she became a devout person of the God of Salvation after various experiences.
In fact, the story of Lian becoming a believer of redemption is recorded as an important legend in the Salvation Church: it narrates a wager between the Silver Moon Lady and the Lord of Salvation, with both Divine beings feeling confident that the elf would become their devotee.
The Silver Moon Lady bestowed upon Lian many blessings, guiding her to save the good, assist others, always leading her to help the weak, especially women and children.
The Lord of Salvation designed many hardships and dilemmas for Lian, making her overcome obstacles one after another, always managing to save many and receiving universal glory and praise.
In the end, Lian chose to become a devout believer of the Lord of Salvation, leaping to the position of Cardinal within the Salvation Church, and even received a Divine Power belonging to the Lord of Salvation, becoming a "Saint" of the Salvation Church.
The Lord of Salvation's victory was naturally recorded in the annals of the Salvation Church, teaching the clergy the importance of withstanding tribulations and that glory and praise were their deserved rewards!
Besides the Old Pope of the Salvation Church who has lived for a thousand years, the contemporary Redemption Saint was only her, and even if she was not the strongest Cardinal, her strength somewhat inferior to the "Weird Light," "White Flower" Lian unquestionably held the highest standing.
However, there's one thing not chronicled in the Scriptures of the Salvation Church, but rather recorded in the Scriptures of the Silver Moon Church.
That is, upon learning of "White Flower" Lian's choice, the Silver Moon Lady expressed calmly that it was actually a good thing.
"What I need is not victory or defeat but truly devout, loyal followers."
According to the interpretation in the Silver Moon Church's Scriptures, "White Flower" failed to withstand the goddess's test and revealed her true nature, hence she had no more value in the eyes of the Silver Moon Lady.
If that's the case, why bother with someone completely unnecessary, even if they are handed over to the Lord of Salvation?
It wasn't that the Silver Moon Lady couldn't win her over, but that she had filtered her out.
Followers of both the Silver Moon Church and the Salvation Church have argued many times over who the true "winner" of this incident was, each proclaiming their deity to be the superior one.
Lian has served as a Cardinal for hundreds of years by now.
This time, as a representative of the Salvation Church aiding the Rhea People, her ultimate goal was undoubtedly the destruction of Cyart.
So, for the Fischer family, even if she was some kind of Redemption Saint, she remained their enemy… or rather, faithful followers of other false gods were already enemies of the Dawn Church!
