Chapter 598: Chapter 304: In the Name of the Solar Hero, Judgement on Heretics!_3

[Do you identify ’Lord Fox’ as a heretic?]

Lin Xun squints his eyes.

This Lord Fox does not seem too devout...

[There’s a commotion outside the church door. A multitude of murderous ’Law Knights’ are escorting a figure radiating red light into the church...]

"So soon?"

He quickly hits the invisibility option. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

[The Yellow Bishop orders the knights to break the constantly struggling ’Outlander’s’ limbs and bind him to the church column...]

[The Bishop turns to report to you, only to find you’ve disappeared.]

[The Bishop hesitates a little, then abides by the divine edict, raises his pure silver baton, and begins to chant the spell...]

[Suddenly, a dazzling sword light flickers. ’Unknown Apostle 12’ stops struggling; his head rolls onto the ground...]

[You have defeated ’Unknown Apostle 12’!]

[...]

Only after seeing the death announcement of the underworld game does Lin Xun deactivate his invisibility and reveal himself.

Apostle number 12 thought until his death that he was killed by the ’Yellow Bishop’. He had no idea it was ’Unknown Apostle 18’ who actually killed him.

[You signaled the ’Yellow Bishop’ that war is imminent, there is no time to waste on the ’Light Penalty’...]

[The Bishop nods, and continues to dispatch church personnel to search the town.]

[’Fox Lord’ seeing the tragic end of the heretic, quickly mobilizes all his soldiers and orders the preparation of various war supplies...]

"Only two candidates left..."

In the list of those who chose the ’slaughter’ option, apart from Lin Xun, only ’Unknown Apostle 1’ and ’Unknown Apostle 2’ remain.

Lin Xun suspects that those on the slaughter option’s list might be ranked according to the progress of their Chapter strategy.

For instance, he, as Apostle 18, only cleared a five-star difficulty Chapter once, while most five-star Apostles cleared the current difficulty countless times and hence ranked ahead of him.

Ranking after him are those who haven’t cleared a five-star difficulty Chapter, or even a four-star difficulty Chapter.

The remaining 1 and 2, therefore, must be the two Apostles with the highest strategy progress. After repeatedly clearing six-star difficulty, their power has been enough to advance to seven-star difficulty.

[...]

[After waiting for a long time, suddenly a soldier enters the church and reports to ’Lord Fox’ and you...]

[During the transportation of war supplies in Lord’s Castle, the soldiers found a hidden ’Outlander’.]

[The soldiers surrounded the heretic without hesitation, but the heretic’s power was immense; he killed over a dozen soldiers while breaking the encirclement, then desperately hid in Lord’s storeroom...]

[The storeroom walls are incredibly sturdy due to magical additions, and the heretic blocking the narrow storeroom door makes it so that the soldiers can only break in one at a time, but they are no match for him.]

[The soldiers have suffered heavy casualties and are forced to request the intervention of the ’Law Knights’ of the White Moon Church.]

[However, no one expected the heretic to continually slaughter the entering ’Law Knights’ by taking advantage of the terrain!]

[Right now, a group of Law Knights are blocked at the storeroom door, unable to rashly enter, and the evil heretic also cannot escape. The situation is in stalemate.]

[After reporting the situation, the soldier awaits commands from the Lord. ’Lord Fox’ turns and looks at you, waiting for you to issue commands...]

You should know that Law Knights in this Chapter are nightmare-level elites of six-star difficulty.

If one can easily solo against Law Knights, one could then basically ascertain the enemy’s identity as one of the remaining two ’elite apostles’.

"In terms of web novel level, is this a perfect six-star? Or is it half a step to a seven-star?"

Lin Xun personally heads to the ’Lord’s Castle’ intending to witness the enemy’s power.

He had thought this would be a battle of equals, but who would have thought...

[...]

[A short and elderly figure lands on the storeroom floor. He sheathes his sword and takes a breath. Behind him is the rigid body of ’Unknown Apostle 2’.]

[The figure radiating red light suddenly cracks, and turns into two severed corpses...]

[You have defeated ’Unknown Apostle 2’!]

[Since your invasion authority is higher...]

[Please choose a category of spoils you wish to plunder...]

He didn’t know if it’s because ’Master Ninja’ is too powerful, or if the effect of ’Slaughter Feast+4’ was too monstrous.

Despite the enemy Apostle having the ability to rank up to seven-star difficulty, he still didn’t put up any resistance and was straight away killed by the ’Master Ninja’ in a single stroke.

[’Unknown Apostle 2’—Deceased!]

[Since ’Unknown Apostle 2’ possesses ’Slaughter Feast’...]

[Your buff status ’Slaughter Feast+4’ is upgraded to ’Slaughter Feast+5’!]

[’Slaughter Feast+5’: This buff status can increase your every kind of attribute by 120%, the buff status will last until this Golden Egg Chapter ends!]

After Lin Xun takes down Apostle 2, he returns to the White Moon Church to wait for the final Apostle to fall into the trap.

However, it’s strange that none of the believers of Saint Lance have found any trace of ’Unknown Apostle 1’.

Seeing that there is very little time left before the final event, he gets a sinking feeling in his heart.

If he doesn’t find the last remaining Apostle before the decisive battle, he would not be able to use many of his tactics during the Demigod war.

Lin Xun has been using the ’Master Ninja’ shell and not switching to other powerful shells to prevent the exposure of his talent.

If the remaining elite Apostles are hiding in some corner of Saint Lance, observing his final battle all the way, and then at the last moment find out his secret and use the ’Escape Bookmark’ to escape,

then Lin Xun’s talent secret will be exposed, unless during the final decisive battle, he only uses the ’Master Ninja’ shell...

"I must flush you out!"
