Chapter 247: Conspiracy Unveiled, Slaying the Commander! (6000)_2
The Dark Witch furrowed her brows.
After a moment, she looked toward a corner of the ancient castle.
"Come out, how long are you planning to watch?"
As these words were spoken, everyone instantly realized something was amiss.
At the same time, a figure suddenly appeared from the corner of the hall.
"Holy crap, another helper?"
Cao Xing instantly directed his gaze over.
He saw a person clad in a red robe, wearing a blood-colored mask on his face.
The corners of his mouth carried a smile full of interest.
Clearly, with just this attire, the person's identity was already self-evident!
The Red Robed Bishop of the Light Church!
His mouth carried a faint smile.
"Lord, what are you doing? How could you get beaten so badly by a group of Fourth Rank youths?"
The Dark Witch snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. This body contains only a trace of my Divine Power, not even a ten-thousandth of my strength."
"If my body could escape from that cursed place, a single breath could instantly resolve these people!"
Hearing this, the Red Robed Bishop chuckled lightly, "You are right, Lord."
"We believe that, like our Light God, your true form possesses boundless might."
"Now, the plan at Dorun Lake City is reaching its final stages."
"As soon as it succeeds, we can draw out more of your power."
"And our Lord of Light God will appear in the human world for the first time!"
Upon hearing this, the Dark Witch's expression softened a bit, and then she said, "Now, let's deal with these annoying guys first."
At this moment, the Red Robed Bishop glanced at Cao Xing and the others indifferently.
"Just a bunch of ants, easily slayable."
Cao Xing listened to their conversation, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
Then, he quickly glanced at the attributes of the Red Robed Bishop.
[Red Robed Bishop: Eugene McGrath]

(Intro: Eugene McGrath was among the earliest group of fanatics in the Light Church, and he is one of those blessed with the Light Blessing.)
...
After looking at this guy's formidable attributes, Cao Xing slowly let out a breath.
"Whew..."
The Red Robed Bishop was indeed very powerful.
However, he was still at the Fifth Rank!
As long as he hadn't reached the Sixth Tier, Cao Xing didn't fear him.
Seeing their arrogant demeanor as if they had everything under control.
Cao Xing laughed, "Damn it, just two Fifth Rank Commanders think they can take us down?"
"Today, I'm gonna wipe you all out!"
"Blot, have the Black Mist Lord hold them off!"
"Assam, Blom, protect me!"
As he finished speaking, Cao Xing quickly retreated and opened [Ascalon's Book of the Dead].
"Rise! Rise! Warriors of Ascalon!"
With each incantation spoken from his mouth.
The Book of the Undead began to 'rustle' as it flipped pages.
The entire tower was instantly shrouded in a terrifying aura of the undead.
The Dark Witch and the Red Robed Bishop's expressions changed drastically.
The Red Robed Bishop asked, "What is this human lord doing?"
"Not sure, seems like he's performing some kind of summoning ritual."
The Dark Witch said, "Eugene, go interrupt him!"
"Understood."
Being of the same Commander Level, he obeyed the Dark Witch's every command.
On one hand, due to her status.
On the other, related to their plan.
Suddenly, a massive battle axe appeared in the Red Robed Bishop's hand!
Then he locked his gaze onto Cao Xing.
With a powerful kick, he shot toward Cao Xing like a cannonball!
And just at that moment, a formidable black silhouette appeared and blocked him directly!
It was the Black Mist Lord, Igval!
"Get lost!" the Red Robed Bishop roared angrily!
However, Igval's eyes carried an indifferent expression.
"A rat that only hides in the dark, dare ask this Commander to get lost?"
This remark seemed to sting the Red Robed Bishop.
He snorted coldly, "Fine, you seek death!"
He raised his battle axe, fiercely hacking toward the Black Mist Lord!
Yet, Igval showed no fear.
With 40 seconds left on his summoning time, he lifted his great sword and slashed toward him.
"Clang!"
The great sword collided with the battle axe.
Two powerful auras erupted instantly, the terrifying winds even dispersing the surrounding Dark Power!
However, Igval was ultimately just a Fourth Rank Commander, a rank lower than the Red Robed Bishop, and was instantly knocked back over ten meters.
Seeing this, the Red Robed Bishop's mouth curled into a contemptuous smile.
However, the next moment, Igval transformed into a wisp of black smoke, vanishing from his spot.
Before he could react, a terrifying gust emerged behind him!
"Poof!"
The Red Robed Bishop was smashed away by Igval's great sword!
"So strong!"
The Red Robed Bishop was shocked.
As he watched the Black Mist Lord assaulting again, he had no choice but to muster all his strength to block the attack.
Meanwhile, the Dark Witch was overpowering Assam and the others, sending them flying again and again!
But Assam and the others continued their relentless assault on the Dark Witch!
Everyone knew that this was now the most critical moment!
No matter what, those two had to be prevented from interfering with Cao Xing!
