"Well, congratulations, Hel. You will now help me subjugate all the inquisitresses below the mid-level Semi-Holy Rank." Within the church, the inquisition department may not possess an honorable status, but it was a force to be reckoned with. Although looked down upon due to their line of work, inquisitresses wielded non-negligible power and possessed vast resources at their disposal. Especially in times of wars against the barbarian continent, their standing and power skyrocketed. Not counting the…-

Nonchalantly, Konrad stood up, stretching his arms and neck while heaving a contented sigh. He then returned his attention onto the inquisitress whose yearning eyes were still locked on him. *SMACK* "AAAAH!" The blow came out of nowhere. One moment Konrad was still giving the inquisitress a gentle smile, the next he was giving her a violent slap across the right cheek. Taken by surprise and thrown off balance, she was about to fall onto the ground when he pulled her by the collar and brought…

Konrad’s reply didn’t sit well with the inquisitress. "It seems that you still aren’t aware of the gravity of the situation. It’s alright, I don’t need much time to take you down a peg. Girls untie him." The immobile saw holding girls didn’t understand why Konrad was trying to provoke the one holding his fate within her hand. Was he that eager to meet his ancestors. Naturally, they felt no pity for him, and as instructed by the inquisitress, set the saw aside to remove Konrad’s…

Iliana’s face shone with fear, causing the inquisitress’ lips to curl into a smile. Turned upside down with his blood flowing to his head, Konrad observed the scene in silence. The chains suppressed his cultivation but didn’t affect his bloodline abilities. Therefore, the situation didn’t impact his plans. As long as Iliana played along, the church would soon feed his purse and growing army. However, he could feel her rising hesitation threatening to foil the plan. "What is the meaning of…

"He refused?" The Celestial Faction exarch who took over the direction of the events frowned upon hearing the bishop’s report. Soon, however, his frown was replaced by a disdainful snort. "Then they can’t blame us for being ruthless. Receive my order. You will lead a team of three bishops, and six abbots to capture the key members of house Kracht. When their lives hang in the balance, I really want to see how they dare reject submission." The bishop excused himself and as per the exarch’s…

"Just like that, it’s over?" "How could it not be over?" The new bishop had announced the end of the competition and proclaimed Konrad the victor. Thus, giving house Kracht the Holy Flame Baptism quota, and causing some of the spectators to feel a sense of loss for not getting to see the last battle. Although the confrontation between Saints was awe-inspiring, it was by far too dangerous for the likes of them to enjoy. With a single mistake, the entire city could be razed. Such battles only…

"What if I refuse?" Olrich asked without a hint of his frustration. "Then, I will personally execute you. I suppose you know that your toy isn’t enough for you to challenge me, right?" The indifference with which Amalia said those words further startled the onlookers. Witnessing this scene, Konrad felt something amiss. Either the dowager was a heartless, callous woman that put her own benefit above everything else, or there was terrible enmity between mother and son. Perhaps a bit of both?…

The appearance of the two highest ranked women of the imperial harem only heightened the tension. While in other times, many would revel in their beauty, with the situation at hand, none dared lose sight of the priorities. Of the three high exarchs standing against them, two were paragon spirits while the last one was a flame spirit. Although in the spirits’ hierarchy, Elemental Spirits ranked below True Spirits, because of the unique connection between elemental spirits and their respective Divine…

"AAAAAAAARGH!" Heinrich’s guttural howl pierced the sky. As the lightning dispersed, he fell onto his knees with his charred body oozing smoke, alarming the thousands of spectators. Although they didn’t know his cultivation level, from his cassock alone, they could see his exarch rank, which clearly marked him as a Saint! But such a powerhouse, a rarely seen individual standing at the summit of the Holy Flame Empire with the church as his backing, was struck down in a single blow without the…

Using her storm wings, Nils stopped mid-air, stabilizing herself before returning onto the ground. The thirty-six Konrad gave her no time to breathe before rushing back toward her. "Not even one bit of mercy." Nils bitterly remarked, then joined the two pommels of her swords, turning them into a double bladed sword. "I’ve been studying this for a while but didn’t have the power to use it beforehand. Today, we might as well inaugurate it." Four circles of power appeared by her side as she…
