Chapter 1569: Holy Light, Let Evil Have Nowhere To Hide!
“Back off, Connie. The orc species is going to exterminate the Hairless Monk today to avenge the Urba Tribe"s souls who died tragically in the past!” Ferdinand said, pointing at Rex.
The orcs who had stepped out earlier had already taken out their weapons. The Falk Tribe"s powerhouses were also looking at Rex angrily. Everyone seemed to be taking Ferdinand"s side.
“These baddies are bullying Big Sister Connie together. I want to send them flying to the sky!” Amy angrily said as she began to take out her fire lotus bombs.
“Prepare for action. The first objective is to bring Connie away safely. The second objective is to capture Ferdinand,” Mag gravely said as he pressed on the longsword that he hid under his robes.
What happened today had been too dramatic, and completely went beyond all the plans he had previously made. However, things were getting clearer now, there had to be a connection between Ferdinand and the black fog. If he wanted to eradicate the black fog, a fight with him was inevitable.
However, Ferdinand had used his powerful empathic skills, and successfully made the majority of the people join the ranks of exterminating the devil by using the prejudice and fear the orcs had for Rex.
“You are saying that the Hairless Monk represents evil and all he said are lies. Then, what about me?” Right at this time, a sarcastic voice appeared above the square. A champagne light flashed and Irina appeared, hovering in midair above the square.
“Irina!” someone exclaimed as everybody stared at Irina who was wearing a white dress, shrouded in champagne light.
Irina"s legends had never stopped during this whole time, regardless whether it was battling a few powerhouses with Alex in Rodu, slaughtering the spatial demon patriarch, founding the Night Elves, killing Borg, or bringing the elven slaves out of the Wind Forest in a shocking manner.
However, what was she doing in the Falk Tribe? What was the meaning of her words?
Ferdinand was also looking at Irina with shock, but he soon said, “Princess Irina, the Falk Tribe has always been friendly with the Wind Forest. May I know what is the purpose of your trip here today?”
All the orcs from the different tribes halted and looked at Irina too.
This woman was the one woman that n.o.body could trifle with in this world; even the Wind Forest was split up by her. Don"t even mention that Alex, who could kill the spatial demon patriarch with one strike, was standing behind her.
“I came to eradicate evil. The G.o.d of Light and G.o.d of Life have bestowed upon me power and responsibility that allows me to identify and cleanse all evil presence.” Irina looked at Ferdinand with a holy expression, and coldly said, “I have discovered evil on your body. That is a power and presence that doesn"t belong to this world. I suspect you have made a deal with the devil and sold your soul.”
“H-how is that possible?!”
“She is spouting nonsense, right?! How could Young Master Ferdinand have sold his soul to the devil?!”
“But… Irina represents the G.o.d of Light and the G.o.d of Life. She must be very sensitive to evil. What she could see may really exist.”
The square broke out into commotion. Compared to Rex, who was believed to be a scary evil presence, Irina"s words were more believable and difficult to refute straight away.
Undeniably, when Alex and Irina were traveling on the continent, they had left behind many legends of upholding virtue and condemning evil, and were deemed the embodiment of justice.
Her sudden appearance in the Falk Tribe and accusation of Ferdinand selling his soul to the devil was really befuddling to the Falk Tribe"s orcs.
“Princess Irina, please mind your words. Although my power is negligible, and the Falk Tribe has waned after going through many catastrophes, I am still the son of Isaiah and the young master of the Falk Tribe!” Ferdinand said to Irina righteously. “I will never agree to your unreasonable accusations and pus.h.i.+ng the blame onto me like this! The Falk Tribe and the orc species will never agree, either!
“The Falk Tribe is going through a catastrophe today. I have already lost my most important loved ones. The tribe has already lost their best chief! The pride of the Falk Tribe will not be trampled on by your people again!”
The Falk Tribe"s orcs got agitated immediately, and shouted and yelled in support of Ferdinand.
The other tribes" orcs were also looking at Irina judgmentally. Her appearance was too much of a coincidence.
It was still explainable if she said Gary had sold his soul to the devil. How could the victim, Ferdinand, be the devil?
“Your glib tongue is not going to change anything.” Irina looked at Ferdinand as she raised the magic caster"s staff in her hands. The golden light began to converge as she smiled. “We simply need a beam of Holy Light to find out whether you have sold your soul to the devil. All evil has nowhere to hide in front of the Holy Light.”
“Irina, this is us orcs" matter. Aren"t you being a busybody here?” Auster came over with a sinister expression, and said to Irina, “Who are you to decide about our orc species" matters? You have already made the Wind Forest a mess, so are you trying to make the Twilight Forest a mess now too?!”
“It wouldn"t just be you orcs" matter alone if he has sold his soul to the devil. This is a matter that threatens the survival of the entire Norland Continent, so why can"t I be involved?” Irina replied to Auster coldly.
“Today"s matter isn"t up to you. The Falk Tribe has already had many catastrophes, and we won"t allow you to cause trouble and hurt the innocents! I, Auster, and the Aug Tribe will not allow this!” Auster said forcefully with a dark face.
“You still talk as much nonsense now as you did then.” Rex disappeared from where he was standing. Accompanied by a sonic boom, a giant fist as big as a sandbag had already appeared in front of Auster.
Auster"s reaction was also very fast. He punched toward Rex"s fist at the same time as he rapidly backed off.
Bam!
A dull thud sounded, and a powerful force formed an energy ripple as it exploded in midair. The people around it were blown away, and the ground sank 50 cm deep right away.
Auster was forced dozens of meters back. His legs left deep trenches on the ground before he could stop himself.
And Rex already appeared in front of him again.
The sonic booms continued. Their figures had already become two faint shadows. Everyone could only hear the dull thuds when the fists landed on their bodies.
The sudden battle between Rex and Auster made the sounds of opposition disappear immediately. Irina"s magic caster"s staff already had the golden Holy Light lit up.
Finally, panic appeared on Ferdinand"s face as he ordered, “Irina is trying to kill me and subvert the Falk Tribe. Stop her!”
“Protect Young Master Ferdinand!” Darryl shouted. He swung his magic caster"s staff, and ice barriers appeared above Ferdinand"s head.
Meanwhile, Basil dashed toward Irina with his iron rod.
“Holy Light, let evil have nowhere to hide!” Irina chanted loudly as she pointed her staff at Ferdinand. A bright beam of golden Holy Light pierced through the ice barriers, and landed on Ferdinand, who had a terrified expression.
