Chapter 924 - 5: Begin the Slaughter! Dance of Death_3
——"We must head to the Pleasure Temple to recharge."
——"Bond [Lover]: The Joyful Dancer - Lyra was your lover in life, once summoned, she will most likely obey your command."
Is that even possible?
The Mother of Great Bliss looked at Duncan’s astonished face, her beautiful countenance carried a playful hint, and she whispered, "Serve me well."
"I am watching you."
"Lady Joy is also watching you."
As her words fell.
A Mark of ’The Goddess of Joy’s Focus’ appeared on Duncan, seemingly anchored by this sacred artifact.
After doing all this, the Mother of Great Bliss resumed her previous arrogance and calm, still floating in the air, never touching the ground, as if being tainted by the earth would desecrate her holiness. Although this woman was weak, her airs were astonishing.
The group prepared to return to the Pleasure Divine Hall.
Flames consumed the corpses, and everything around returned to tranquility.
Duncan held the sacred emblem in his hand, noticing the envious looks from others. The actions of the Mother of Great Bliss undoubtedly elevated his status significantly.
Inside the carriage.
A female voice came from the shadows, the figure lurking in the corner of the carriage said, "Mother Superior."
"Why do you value this man so much?"
"Is it because he saved you?"
The Mother of Great Bliss showed an elusive expression, gently shook her head, and said, "No."
"This is the Lady’s will."
"His identity is quite useful for us in harnessing the power of the Wealth Church."
It was almost dawn now.
Just as the group was returning to the Temple District, Duncan suddenly paused, his consciousness instantly ascended into another dimension, locking onto distant lurking figures.
Wanderers.
Assassins!
What exactly did the Mother of Great Bliss do?
Why are these people bent on taking her life?
She had just survived an assassination last night, and today as soon as she left the Temple District, they reorganized for another assassination attempt.
——Painful Dark Blade (Cult)!
——Bloodthorn Lord - Klan (Five-star Silver-Grey).
——Shadow Binder - Alice (Four-star Gold).
——Pain Devourer - Grey (Four-star Gold).
——Soul Sunderer - Lena (Dark Creature) (Five-star Silver-Grey).
——Night Owl - Blake (Four-star Gold).
Damn!
Are they really determined to take the life of the Mother of Great Bliss?
Duncan entered a dimensional view due to the locking intent of the enemy, besides these lurking members of the ’Painful Dark Blade’ cult, another group of wanderers was ambushed on the only way leading back to the Temple District, atop a building near the harbor lane was further a silver-grey marked four-star magic archer.
More than one force wanted to assassinate the Mother of Great Bliss.
"Why do they want her dead?"
Duncan, deep in thought, speculated, "Could it be due to the Joy Church subsuming the power of the Wealth Church?"
"Is the Mother of Great Bliss the mastermind behind it all?"
"If she dies."
"The Joy Church will fall into chaos?"
Someone doesn’t wish to see the Joy Church grow stronger, nor wish to see the alliance between Wealth and Joy reign supreme, only with the Mother of Great Bliss’s death will the church be thrust into turmoil and infighting.
No matter the reason.
The Mother of Great Bliss absolutely must not die right now.
Even the Wealth Church hopes she lives well, still eager to learn about the Wealth Goddess from her mouth.
Duncan quietly sped up his pace.
He approached the Mother of Great Bliss’s carriage, and someone in the carriage’s shadow moved slightly, speaking alertly, "Is there something?"
Duncan subtly nodded, and he saw a flash of crimson light.
The Mother of Great Bliss instantly reacted, looking at Duncan with full appreciation, and then signaled to those beside her.
A slender figure slipped into the shadows, disappearing without a trace.
——Crimson Performer (Cult)!
The Mother of Great Bliss’s slightly tense voice echoed directly in Duncan’s mind, "These Joyful Priests are at your command."
She was very aware of her own shortcomings.
This bit of self-awareness she did possess.
As her words fell.
The entire team’s markers suddenly turned green, as the Golden Guards of the grand treasury, the highest security personnel of the Wealth Church, Duncan took over the command of the cult’s members.
This move instantly made Duncan regard the Mother of Great Bliss more favorably.
Very well!
At crucial moments, she is willing to delegate authority.
Your life, I will definitely protect.
Duncan’s cold gaze pierced through the darkness, directly relying on a god’s eye view to lock onto the coordinates of the ’Painful Dark Blade’.
Commence the slaughter!
Regardless of whether it’s the Wealth Church or the Joy Church, he must prove his abilities to gain more leverage.
Since they dare come again, then your heads, I will take them!
