Tribulation of Mysteries

The dream world.

Dyat.

A group of black-clothed men entered the city vigilantly.

“Lord Priest, this is the camp that Mas once occupied…”

A black-clothed man identified the road signs and buildings as he spoke earnestly.

“Mas hasn’t contacted the church for a long time, and neither have his subordinates. Looks like this expedition team has been wiped out…”

The man called Priest was shriveled and thin, but his eyes were bright, as if there were two black flames in them.

This was the mark of a dark chaser, which meant that even if he was not as powerful as the high priest, he was not far off.

He had even reached the minimum requirement to hold a ‘Solar Eclipse Ceremony’ and become a ‘Black Beast’.

Such a person was one of the upper echelons of the Black Sun Church, a truly important person!

“Looks like there’s some danger lurking in this town, or another church…”

The black-clothed man who spoke first guessed.

The Black Sun Church had always dealt with heretics in a simple and crude manner, which was to burn them to death and sacrifice them to the Great Lord of Eclipse!

Previously, the Black Sun Church had sent out a missionary team, and they had clashed with some secret religious groups.

Under these circumstances, they had sent a special team led by a priest to investigate the death of a team in a remote town, which made him puzzled.

“Victor, are you doubtful?”

Priest clearly saw the black clothed man’s hesitation and said in a solemn voice, “This is an order from the High Priest himself. He has received a revelation from his divination that there is something we’re looking for here!”

“So it’s an order from the high priest.”

The black-clothed man immediately felt a deep devotion.

He was clearly in awe of the High Priest who had completed the transition of life and transcended the mortal world.

The priest looked at this scene and the flames in his eyes flickered, becoming even darker, “A great achievement perhaps … I can do it too!”

They came to a camp where Mas and the others had once imprisoned scavengers. It was now a desolate place.

“Let’s see if there are any clues… My divination has been disturbed.”

The priest looked around and frowned. Suddenly he snapped his fingers.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the layers of cobweb-like objects in the corner of the room immediately ignited with pitch-black flames.

…..

In a tall building not far away.

“Ah!”

Olivia exclaimed softly as she massaged her temples, “The people who came this time are very strong. One of them is clearly a ‘Dark Chaser’. He should be one of the upper echelons of the Black Sun Cult, the Tudor. The high priest didn’t show up…”

Beside him, Lin bit her lips and her eyes lit up. “We can fight now!”

Now, the entire Dyat could be said to be under the control of the Light of Salvation. Naturally, this group of people was quickly discovered.

Furthermore, since Lin had rescued a member of the Black Sun Cult, she had learned the latest information about them.

In the Black Sun Cult, the ‘Unburnt one’ and the ‘Burning Sons’ were still ‘believers’. Above them were the priests, the true upper echelons of the church.

Above the priests was the High Priest, who was the equivalent of an Archbishop!

This priest was one of the true leaders of the Black Sun Cult.

After the previous incident, Lin had also gained many advantages. Although most of the corrupted power had been expelled, she was still confident that she could fight against a Dark Chaser.

“In terms of strength, we have the advantage…”

Olivia thought for a moment, still worried. “But for safety’s sake, bring the Flesh Scepter. Remember, don’t use it unless absolutely necessary. If you do use it, end the battle as soon as possible.”

“Don’t worry. Besides, it’s no big deal to have another fetish.”

The corner of Lin’s mouth turned up slightly. Her body suddenly turned into a pool of blood and disappeared through the crack in the door.

The scene made Olivia’s eyes twitch. ‘Lin is also trying to teach some members who walk the path of ‘red’, but I still feel that even at the same level, she is much stronger than ordinary red believers… Without my master, she would probably be the best believer.’

……

Inside the stronghold.

The thin priest rubbed his forehead, feeling that something was wrong.

Although the feeling of being spied upon had disappeared after the spider silk had been burned, a faint sense of danger had become even more intense!

Drip, drip!

Victor, who was searching the stronghold, heard the sound of water dripping.

He opened a washroom and saw that the tap hadn’t been turned off properly. The sink was overflowing with water.

“Seriously… The water system of this city is actually still running?”

Victor muttered as he watched the spreading water soak his boots. He was about to walk over and turn off the tap.

At that moment, the water on the ground instantly changed colour, turning dark red like blood!

A human figure appeared. Her right hand was in the shape of a dagger, and she plunged it straight into Victor’s back. Her left hand covered Victor’s mouth.

This elite of the Black Sun Cult couldn’t even resist and fell into a pool of blood. Even the flesh on his body melted…

“The first one to die!”

Lin stood up calmly and said in a low voice.

This was a brand new ability she had awakened after the previous incident, using the knowledge she had gained to advance herself – Mimicry!

She could make the blood of a ‘Bloodthirsty’ imitate water and all other liquids, and it was also highly corrosive!

In the middle of the building, the priest was praying when he suddenly stood up and rushed in one direction.

Rumble! 

He blew open a door with a fireball. What he saw was the body of a member.

“Damn it, the enemy is attacking!”

He yelled loudly for the remaining members to pay attention.

At that moment, an arm suddenly emerged from the pool of blood on the ground. At the tip of the arm was a dagger, and it plunged into the priest’s back.

Puff!

The priest turned, a strange smile on his face.

Suddenly, his entire body began to burn like a ball of flame and exploded violently.

Black Flame Incarnation!

This was another ability of a Dark Chaser. They could use flames to create a clone of themselves that could explode after being attacked!

The massive shockwave caused the floor of the room to shatter. The mirrors on the walls shattered, and the high temperature was like a wave, constantly sweeping outwards.

Lin’s figure tumbled out of the door. There were already burns on her body, and they couldn’t be removed even with Blood Transformation!

“So it’s you, blasphemer – Lin!”

The priest stood not far away, with two believers behind him. A happy smile appeared on his face. “This must be a gift from my Lord.”

His expression suddenly became calm. He clenched his hands and whispered, “The Lord said … there should be darkness!”

A layer of black field suddenly appeared, spreading out with him at its centre, devouring all light!

– Darkness is descending!
