"How could we warriors of the Church ever submit to a fallen angel?"
"Even if I die, I will never let you get away unscathed!"
An unusual light gleamed in Xenovia's eyes. Luhart recognized it. He had seen it countless times before in the eyes of Church warriors...
"A proud soul... is that it?"
That only made things more interesting!
The corners of Luhart's mouth gradually curled upward, and the way he looked at Asia and the others changed.
"Corrupting proud souls like yours is what interests me most!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of pitch-black energy erupted from the ground, instantly trapping the two Church warriors, Xenovia and Irina, where they stood.
"What is this...?"
Xenovia tried to break free, but already at the end of her strength, how could she possibly escape?
"Hahaha! This is a trap I prepared beforehand, but with your strength, there was no way you could force me to use it. So I had no choice but to activate it myself."
"Stay right where you are and watch the show that's about to begin! This is something fledglings like you have definitely never seen before."
The moment those words left his mouth, the fallen angel began undoing the buttons of his shirt...
This was...
"Don't tell me...?"
The instant Xenovia understood what that gesture meant, her face turned bright red.
"You bastard! Are you actually planning to... to do something like that?"
Faced with Xenovia's furious question, Luhart showed no embarrassment whatsoever. He even licked his lips.
"Don't worry. You're the finest prey here. After I'm done playing with them, I'll come play with you! Hehehe!"
"But before that, keep your eyes wide open and watch the expressions of pleasure on your companions' faces!"
As his words fell, Luhart reached toward Asia...
"No! Come at me instead! Don't touch Asia!"
Xenovia began struggling frantically, but it was all useless. She could not break free from the shackles the fallen angel had placed upon her.
"Asia—!"
At that critical moment, something suddenly changed within Asia.
Sacred light gradually began to shimmer across Asia's petite body.
"What is this?"
Luhart raised a hand to shield himself from the dazzling radiance and even retreated several steps.
"What is wrong with this nun? Why is such tremendous power hidden inside her body?"
Luhart narrowed his eyes slightly and spotted a strange mark upon Asia's chest...
The source of that power seemed to be there. As long as he destroyed it, this little nun would no longer pose any threat!
The energy in his hand gradually condensed into a pitch-black spear. Seizing the opportunity, Luhart thrust it directly toward Asia's heart.
As long as this strike landed, the threat would disappear forever!
"Die!"
However...
Clang!
The spearhead seemed to strike something incomparably hard and was stopped dead, unable to advance even half a step. At that moment, a voice reached his ears.
"Tell me... aren't you getting a little carried away?"
A dazzling light shone from Asia's chest. A flawless white hand emerged from the radiance, stopping Luhart's attack with only a single finger.
"There's another expert?"
After a brief moment of shock, Luhart immediately flapped his wings and retreated more than a dozen steps, his expression turning tense.
Who was it? Who could stop his full-powered attack with a single finger?
He could not stay here!
In an instant, the fallen angel reached his conclusion. This was an enemy he absolutely could not defeat. There was only one way to respond—escape before the other party fully arrived!
As for those Church members...
Forget them for now!
His own life was obviously far more important than theirs!
But just as Luhart prepared to flee, something unexpected happened...
His body, which should have been able to move, was no longer under his control. How was that possible?
Just like Xenovia earlier, Luhart had been frozen in place by that unknown power and could not move.
He could only join the others present in witnessing the sacred scene unfolding before them...
Within the light in front of Asia, a golden-haired figure appeared alongside an aura of holiness, illuminating everything around them in the blink of an eye.
Even the pitch-black power Luhart had used to restrain Xenovia could not hide beneath that sacred light. It dissolved into smoke and dust.
But the moment Luhart truly saw the newcomer, he was stunned...
He was a fallen angel, after all, and had naturally seen his fair share of beautiful women. Yet he had never encountered anyone as beautiful as the woman before him...
Her long golden hair shone as brilliantly as sunlight. Merely looking at it filled one's heart with warmth.
Her blue eyes dazzled like sapphires.
Her figure was first-rate as well... especially those two enormous fruits!
Honestly, in all his life, he had never seen anything so large!
Was she even human?
It was not only Luhart. Even Xenovia stared blankly at the sight. Although she was someone who rarely cared about beauty or ugliness, even she could perceive the newcomer's astonishing beauty.
So... who was she?
That question appeared in Xenovia's and Luhart's minds at the same time.
Xenovia was somewhat better off, since this woman had protected Asia from the wicked fallen angel's violation. Luhart, however, was another matter entirely!
He could sense an overwhelming aura of death rushing toward him. He could only stand there trembling, as though taking even a single step would cast him into an abyss of eternal damnation!
"It was you, wasn't it? You were the one preparing to do something so unforgivable to this child?"
The beautiful woman did not seem to be in a particularly good mood. The moment she arrived, her brows furrowed.
However, when she noticed that Xenovia was still conscious, her gaze immediately became solemn.
"Vile fallen angel, you dared prepare to commit such a depraved act!"
"If I do not purify you, the shadows beneath the glory of my Lord will only continue to swell!"
After saying this, the woman's eyes turned completely cold. She looked at Luhart as though he were already dead.
"I hereby proclaim that I shall purify every last one of your sins."
The sacred woman clasped her hands together as though preparing to pray. It was at that moment that Luhart shouted arrogantly.
"Who do you think you are? You think you can purify everything about me?"
The instant Luhart asked that question, countless doubts appeared in his eyes.
Because something had already emerged before him.
Just as Irina had stared wide-eyed when she first saw Luhart, Luhart now widened his eyes in exactly the same way...
Yes, they were wings!
A vast number of pure-white wings had appeared before his eyes!
Could it be?
The instant countless thoughts flashed through Luhart's mind, a wave of sacred light erupted from the angel, illuminating the entire barrier in an instant!
At the very end of his life, he heard only a single sentence...
"Go before the Lord and confess your sins!"
