Chapter 410: Goddess Zaqiel

Finally, the bald commander woke up from the shock, held his spear tighter, and asked.

"Who are you?"

His voice contained a trace of panic.

"Me?" A rare smile appeared on his childish face as he pointed his finger at his chest and then added with a smirk.

"I'm a God!"

The next instant, a gloomy atmosphere appeared on the battlefield.

It was as if his reply had hit their sore spot. The next instant, the soldiers also tightened their weapons and looked at him with an icy look on their faces.

In truth, Charles knew the reason for their anger and felt amused inside…

Unlike Edhen, all the inhabitants in this Faith Realm worship a single higher being called Zaqiel.

She was their Goddess, the God, the Omnipotent Being, Creator, Deity, and everything!

She controlled the domains of Light and Truth and was considered Al-Mighty in this Faith Realm.

Two millennia ago, a mysterious woman with grey wings descended from the sky, released the enslaved humans from demons, and changed the barbaric lives of everyone. She taught everyone about laws, rules, created order in society, and even wrote a book about how a human should live. Then, she also unified the human tribes living in this continent and created a single large empire called the 'Fallen Empire.' When the humans asked the reason for suggesting a negative name, she told them that no true empire existed forever and revealed her identity as a Fallen Angel. She was a being who got corrupted by the power of Chaos and Evil and then later chased out by her family members.

But the humans of the Faith Realm accepted her truthfully and started worshipping her as their Goddess. For them, she was one and the only omnipotent Goddess. The Faith Realm inhabitants may tolerate if someone insults their language or culture, but not their Goddess Zaqiel. She was their hope, strength, weakness, and everything!

Moreover, the Fallen Empire was the first and the last Empire created in this Faith Realm.

Goddess Zaqiel stayed in this realm for more than a century and finally left, leaving the Empire under human control. But after a few centuries, the Fallen Empire broke into five parts and became dynasties. Then, the humans waged war against each other and split into more groups.

Alas, their faith in their Goddess hadn't decreased one bit.

That's why the whole realm was named Faith Realm!

Even though Zaqiel was considered a demon all over the universe, she was worshipped here as a Goddess.

'An Angel, huh.' Charles shook his head.

'My first goal is to find out more information about this Angel.'

At that moment, the bald commander finally let out a deep sigh and spoke in a chilling voice.

"Kill him!"

Simultaneously, he gripped his spear, infused the spear tip with a greenish aura, and threw it in Charles's direction at full speed.

Meanwhile, Charles raised his eyebrows and cast Rank-4 [Sun's Guard] spell.

A second later, a sunshine shield appeared around his body and completely enveloped him.

Simultaneously, the aura-coated spear appeared in front of his face and collided with the sunshine layer.

An explosive sound resounded on the battlefield, followed by multiple cracks.

Upon seeing this, surprise flashed on Charles's face.

'Heh, this green aura is powerful enough to break a Rank-4 spell, huh.' But Charles wasn't worried in the slightest.

Just as the sunshine layer was about to break, the cracked areas suddenly started to regenerate and then appeared as good as new.

On the other hand, the greenish aura on the spear tip broke into small fragments and disappeared from his eyes.

At that moment, the spear also trembled for a moment and then dropped.

As the bald commander saw this, he couldn't help but turn gloomy.

In the meantime, his elite knights also gripped their weapons, coated them with different colors of auras, and dashed forward.

On the other hand, Charles casually activated [Accelerate Thoughts] skill and raised his left hand.

A second later, thousands of invisible strings spread in all directions, appeared near the running elite knights, started tangling their feet, hands, and bodies, and soon stopped their movements!

Everyone felt that tens of invisible robes suddenly coiled around their bodies and got panicked.

These invisible strings even tangled the powerful Radiant Knight. He tried to use his brute strength to break these invisible strings but couldn't!

"Didn't you hear my earlier words?" Charles calmly stepped on the bloody corpses while carrying the long sword and soon arrived before the bald commander.

"As I said before, I'm a God!" He said in a cold tone and activated [Aura of Dominance] skill.

A second later, an invisible ripple came out of his body and spread everywhere.

Simultaneously, the blad commander felt a domineering power was descending from the sky and went pale.

Before he could think further, his legs went limp, and soon he knelt before Charles!

The same goes for all the elite soldiers on the battlefield.

All of them couldn't keep themselves standing due to the invisible power and started kneeling one by one.

"That's more like it." Charles curled his lips upward and looked coldly at the bald commander.

Meanwhile, the bald commander groaned in pain and spat on the ground.

"You are nothing more than an evil sorcerer! Light Church will hunt you down for speaking those blasphemous words!"

"Is that so? Then, I'll eliminate them first."

Charles said and slashed his long sword at the bald commander's neck.

The sharp blade tore through the air in a blink and sliced the Radiant Knight's neck.

The army commander of the Ammar Dynasty died without knowing how!

Shaking his head, he shifted his attention towards the frozen knights, raised his hand, and pulled all the invisible strings together.

A moment later, all of them felt that those invisible strings tightened their bodies.

Before they could utter a cry, those invisible strings sliced their body fleshes, necks, hands, feet, and even cut their bones like sharp iron threads.

A second later, all the 70 plus knights were cut into pieces!

The same goes for some poor horses!

'Man, my soul mutation not only increased my lifespan but also upgraded my control over the skills and spells.'

He even felt that gathering the fire-elemental energy from the surroundings also appeared much smoother than before.

'Still, I need to find a suitable sacrifice material sooner and complete the elemental heart ceremony.' He muttered inwardly, used his wisdom power, and picked up the bald commander's head with the power of telekinesis.

Then, he searched for suitable clothes from the dead soldiers and soon found a foot soldier who was the same height as him.

After that, he removed his dress and wore it. Although bloodstains appeared here and there, he didn't put too much thought into it.

"All right. Everything is good." He nodded inwardly, used his wisdom power, and flew in the direction where the Darkwell Town was located.

After flying for another hour, he finally saw a fortified town up ahead and soon widened his eyes.

At that moment, he saw more than hundreds of silver-armored men at the town's entrance and furrowed his brows.

'Light Church Knights? What are they doing here? Moreover, how did they come so quick?' Questions whirled in his head.

After some thought, he shifted his attention towards the nearby woods and chose to land over there. Then, he silently walked out of the woods and moved forward.

Along the way, he met many villagers but didn't say a word.

Like an angry lion cub, he continued to walk on the dirt road and soon arrived in front of a 4-meter tall gate.

At that moment, he noticed that the Light Church members stood outside the gate and were ordering the gatekeepers to open the gate.

As Charles got closer towards the group, he tossed the enemy commander's head into the nearby bush and asked.

"May I know who the head of this knight squad is?"
