“Lord, tell them they are nothing but foolish and ugly beasts. Let them know that Jehovah will never love them...”

The knight’s chant and the blasphemous whispers, accompanied by holy white and pitch-black light, unfolded the extraordinary world before the eyes of the townsfolk—

The two beams of light intertwined in midair. It was obvious that the holy white was no match for the darkness, but the runes burning like stars around them acted like chains, tightly binding the dark canopy. Only with the fierce assault of the holy white radiance could they barely resist the evil.

Something wet dripped onto Charlie Carter’s face, who was so terrified by the demonic aura that he couldn’t move. The warm, soft sensation carried a hint of blood, causing the priest’s expression to change dramatically!

Blood!

Bang!!!

A dark figure crashed hard at the inn’s entrance. Immediately after, the holy white radiance burst forth like the morning sun at dawn.

Hiss...

Hiss hiss hiss...

Amid the faint sound of swords, the longsword shattered the chill of the early morning.

Heaven stirs with murderous intent, the stars shift; earth stirs with murderous intent, dragons and serpents rise; man stirs with murderous intent—

Heaven and earth are overturned!

Chapter 11: Return!

The longsword, burning with fierce battle energy, fell like a meteor, tracing a dazzling and stunning arc in the eyes of Charlie Carter and the others.

Puchi...

With a soft sound, the longsword pierced fiercely through the witch’s throat. Then, Charles Carter, descending from the sky, used his own weight to pin the roaring witch firmly to the ground...

Around him, the burning runes slowly turned to ashes.

“Huff, huff, huff~ Thirty, thirty seconds...”

Panting heavily, the blood-soaked Charles Carter weakly released his grip on the longsword, his trembling hand picking up the demon-hunting firearm. The black gun barrel was dark and cold, and the demon hunter, with his already powerless hand, shoved it into the struggling witch’s mouth.

“This time... fall into eternal sleep, Miss Witch.”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Mercury bullets pierced through the witch’s head in rapid succession, bursting into flashes of white light before Charles Carter. Under the incredulous gazes of hundreds around, the witch’s body let out a shrill roar—her blasphemous core pierced by Charles Carter, then shredded by the Five Elements Spirit-Grinding Array empowered by the Five Elements Gathering Array, and finally struck at her vital point by Charles Carter’s all-out attack...

She was never a warrior to begin with...

Amid the piercing wails, the witch’s soul slowly emerged, her translucent face twisted in pain, but her eyes were filled with genuine ecstasy and admiration—

“Pain! Torment!!”

“Hahahaha, what a... perfect feast, my Lord, praise You! Praise You!! Ahhhhhhh!!!”

The witch’s soul, arms outstretched, slowly faded away amidst laughter and wailing, leaving only the battered demon hunter leaning against the streetlamp, coughing incessantly.

Blood welled from the corner of his mouth.

“Cough, cough, cough... Is it over...?”

Clatter...

His powerless hand released, the demon-hunting firearm in Charles Carter’s hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

“The witch is vanquished, mission accomplished!”

“Mission rewards are being calculated...”

“The system has reached a consensus with the collective human consciousness of this world, Alaya... Host, please complete the following actions...”

“Charles Carter, Charles Carter, are you alright?!”

At this moment, relying on his church training, Charlie Carter finally broke free from the demonic aura’s restraint, stumbling toward Charles Carter, who was leaning against the streetlamp, his handsome face full of panic.

“You... you’re badly hurt, where’s the doctor! Doctor!”

The usually calm and gentle priest had completely lost his composure, tearing his own clothes to press against Charles Carter’s abdomen while shouting hoarsely for help. But just then, a cold hand gently covered his bloodstained one.

“It’s alright, Charlie Carter...”

A voice weaker than ever before.

The priest’s body stiffened, but he didn’t stop his actions. He poured holy water from his belt onto the wound as if it cost nothing, causing clouds of filthy black smoke to rise.

“...Charlie Carter, hold a mass for me...”

After a moment of silence, Charles Carter’s voice sounded again. The priest’s hands suddenly paused, and he slowly looked up. In his view, Charles Carter was gazing at the gradually brightening sky in the distance, his pale face seeming even gentler than usual.

But it made the priest’s face turn deathly pale—

Without the cover of battle energy, Charles Carter’s condition was laid bare before his eyes, shockingly obvious...

That life’s flame about to be extinguished!!!

“Here and now.”

Charles Carter’s voice rang out firmly once more, making the priest’s body tremble uncontrollably, veins bulging on his arms as if he were suppressing something. But in the end, he slowly stood up.

A glimmer seemed to slide from the corner of his eye as Charlie Carter extended his slender right hand, a crucifix dangling from his fingers.
