Novel Full Chapter 385 Settlement
“Sword of Salvation” Noah Adley.
He was the Monarch of Cyart, yet actually, he was a puppet of the Words of Tranquility.
Decades ago, many people even thought Noah was the kind of person who was indifferent to worldly affairs and solely focused on becoming stronger, but that was not the case.
In fact, since reaching the Transmutation Level, Noah Adley had been sent by the old king of Cyart into the dark side of the Adley Royal Family, charged with leading the Royal spies in committing all sorts of nefarious and dark deeds.
He personally led the Royal spies, did many despicable things for the Adley Royal Family, and killed many people for that old king.
Families from all over the nation, dozens of them, were sent to their graves by Noah’s hand. Men and women, old and young, died in pain and despair before him, and Noah’s heart grew colder and tougher over time. He knew that many people had done nothing wrong; they were merely in the way.
During those dark, long years, Noah’s mental state became increasingly shattered and unstable until he finally encountered the Words of Tranquility.
Be at peace.
For some reason, every time he followed the teachings of the Wordless Elder, the spiritual leader of the Words of Tranquility, and engaged in special Tranquility meditation, his heart could fully empty itself, no longer feeling pain or confusion.
Neither his body nor his spirit would be in pain.
Eventually, Noah became dependent on the Words of Tranquility.
He was well aware that the Words of Tranquility had a terrifying reason for reaching out to him. The cult wanted to take Cyart for themselves and even saw all the citizens as sacrifices to be offered to the Songster.
However, Noah also wanted to kill that person.
He knew very well one thing; his father had never intended to pass on the throne to him. That old man was solely focused on becoming stronger and extending his lifespan. If he kept waiting, he might never get his chance.
In his father’s hands, he was merely a dagger, a weapon in the darkness.
To become the Monarch of Cyart and break free from that person’s control, he had to…
So Noah cooperated with the Words of Tranquility in doing everything.
He even gave some intelligence to the Rhea People, to force his father’s hand, and in the end, everything finally came to fruition… if it weren’t for the existence of the Fischer family and the Romann family.
“Good thing I survived. Everything can still be made right.”
He staggered forward, a faint smile gradually appearing on his face.
“I must take refuge abroad. It doesn’t matter if I lose everything in Cyart. As long as I’m alive, who knows what might happen a hundred years from now!”
Survival is the most important thing!
Right then, Noah suddenly felt a terrifying presence.
As if a wolf were drawing near.
It was an indescribable fear that penetrated the bone marrow. The air seemed to solidify, each breath filled with menace and unease. Noah’s heart rate kept accelerating, each beat thundering in his chest, deafening.
His sweat uncontrollably seeped out, slowly sliding down his back, bringing an icy sensation, but it did nothing to alleviate the chill deep inside.
What’s happening?
Noah’s eyes searched around involuntarily, trying to catch even a trace of movement in the surrounding environment, but more often than not there was only silence—a silence more terrifying than any sound.
Reason told himself he should run, but his body was as if bound by invisible ropes, immovable, only able to watch helplessly as the breath of death drew nearer and nearer.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, each about survival and escape, but reality was like an invisible wall, keeping all hope and courage out.
His presence felt like a thorn in the back; every second was torment, every breath came with pain and despair.
Eventually, when the cold blade truly neared, the fear peaked in that moment. Time seemed to freeze, the world lost all its color and sound at that moment, leaving only a struggle between life and death, and that unspeakable extreme fear.
He saw the young man in the distance, the source of his fear, and couldn’t help but roar loudly!
“Chris Fischer!”
Chris, having regained a portion of his Spiritual Power, had followed at the first opportunity, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.
Deaths and injuries were heavy in Nasir City.
He would not spare that man.
Chris walked step by step, while Noah retreated in fear, even eventually unable to help but sit down on the ground.
He no longer had his former nobility and arrogance; all his dignity was completely shattered, and every inch of his skin could not help but tremble.
The expressionless man appeared as terrifying as a god or a demon, filling one with fear!
Just then, an exceptionally strong presence emerged around them.
“Stop.”
The majestic voice came from afar.
Chris slowly lifted his head, and Noah immediately looked up as well. When he saw who the newcomer was, he couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore.
“Hahaha!”
A middle-aged man dressed in the purple robes of a Salvation Church Cardinal arrived quietly.
Each step he took was oppressive, and with his heavy, profound footfalls, it seemed as if the air itself was being compressed by an invisible force, each step echoing like boulders tumbling down a valley.
Chris took a deep breath, forcibly enduring the instinct to retreat from his body.
The surrounding light seemed to dim under the influence of this force, and even breathing became burdensome, as if the very dust particles in the air were intimidated by the approaching aura, motionless.
As the middle-aged man drew closer, the space around them seemed twisted by an unseen force, and even time seemed to slow its pace, like facing an undeniable natural law, and any thoughts of resistance dissipated in that moment.
The middle-aged man came near the two men, and spoke very calmly, his tone authoritative yet incredibly indifferent, as if to inform Chris of an incontrovertible fact.
“Chris Fischer, stop. The war can end here,”
“The Lord of Salvation would not wish to see more bloodshed,”
“You may go back.”
Chris simply gazed at him expressionlessly, silent.
Noah, smiling, said exuberantly, “Your Excellency Albert, you have arrived just in time.”
In an instant, Chris recognized the origins of the middle-aged man.
He was the second-in-command of the Salvation Church.
Albert Saxon, the Cardinal known as “Weird Light,” who was infinitely close to the Heavenly Enlightenment Level, had been active for more than five hundred years. He was considered one of the most powerful existences among those at the Monarch Level and was thought to eventually break through to the Heavenly Enlightenment Level. It seemed likely that he would be the next Pope of Redemption.
He possessed extremely powerful spatial abilities and had once incredibly defeated five formidable Monarch Level Extraordinary Exponents on his own.
Originally, this top-tier key figure had always been in the Lorne Empire; no one knew when he had hurried over to this place.
According to the intelligence provided by Darren’s “Black Tide,” one of the granddaughters of the Cardinal “Weird Light” of the Salvation Church was actually Noah’s mother, undoubtedly making him the maternal support of the Adley Royal Family.
The middle-aged man continued speaking very calmly.
“Noah Adley has strong suspicions of colluding with heretical cults; I must take him away.”
“You can’t kill him, for he has the Blood of Salvation flowing in his veins, which belongs to God’s bloodline. The Salvation Church will deal with him thoroughly internally, so I must take him to Lorne to see His Holiness the Pope.”
“…”
Chris was expressionless, pondering many things in his mind.
If he really let him take Noah away, would that thing receive a fair trial?
In fact, Byrne had long suspected that maybe the Salvation Church had known about Adley Royal Family’s collusion with the Words of Tranquility…
They were just waiting calmly, hoping to wait until the situation got bad enough for the Salvation Church to take comprehensive action. By then, they could take the opportunity to control the entire Cyart.
Although it was an incredibly malicious speculation, no one knew one thing: without the restraint of God, could the Salvation Church really remain impartial as it always had?
“Hahahahahaha!”
Noah, seeing Chris hesitate, suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter, laughing wildly!
Albert slightly furrowed his brow, yet his expression remained calm.
“Noah, let’s go.”
Noah nodded lightly, and then turned to look at Chris, who was not far away.
“Goodbye!”
He can’t let him go!
The answer didn’t require any further thought.
Chris’s eyes turned extremely cold, and the intent to kill blazed in the depths of his heart, bringing forth an unprecedented malice.
In fact, it was all because of that man.
Whether it was the ten-year disaster of the dead, the tragedy in Nasir City, or what happened to Byrne and Lilian—if he hadn’t betrayed Cyart’s old king, joining Words of Tranquility…
Perhaps none of it would have happened.
Chris understood this very clearly.
That man was the root of all evil.
Then, he moved.
“Hahahahaha!”
Noah was still immersed in his ecstatic laughter, even though he had nearly lost everything and his country was ruined, and his future was extremely uncertain. However, just by looking at Chris’s eyes, he was overly excited and joyful, completely unable to stop his laughter.
However, the laughter came to an abrupt end.
“What have you done?”
“Weird Light” Albert frowned deeply and suddenly roared.
With a backhanded press, a massive spatial power erupted around him, immobilizing Chris on the spot, spitting blood.
The Cardinal “Weird Light” of the Salvation Church was a bit too terrifying—Chris had no chance to counter, and he quickly recognized this deep inside.
Yet, the Noah who had just been laughing uproariously suddenly turned into a mist of blood.
In an imperceptible moment, Chris had desperately activated “Rift Moment.”
The king of Cyart died once again at the hands of a Fischer!
A look of shocked anger spread across Albert’s face.
“Chris Fischer, you have just defied the will of God and caused more killing without any mercy… it seems that you need to be taken away by me for investigation, or even judgment. I have every reason to suspect you’re trying to silence him.”
Chris was expressionless, his eyes devoid of sorrow or joy, utterly indifferent to what would happen next.
At that moment, an even more terrifying pressure suddenly appeared all around, as if the heavens and earth were inverting and collapsing, an unprecedented great horror! Continue your adventure at empire
Like an endless storm exploding in the vast universe, its majesty was so profound that all things shuddered, and all beings bowed their heads.
“Hm?”
Albert, who had remained composed, was shaken by the sudden surge of force, murmuring to himself.
“Heavenly Enlightenment? Impossible!”
Although he was unclear about the specifics.
But the next moment, he didn’t hesitate to use his spatial power and instantly vanished.
Chris lay on the ground, taking deep breaths.
A rare smile appeared on his face.
Thank you…
Great Lord of the Lost…
The one who had just intimidated the other away was none other than Karl, inhabiting Chris’s body.
“The Salvation Church?”
Even without any sacrifice, he found that his influence could spread near the black monolith, virtually enveloping most of the East Coast.
The Holy Grail tumbled within the blurry flesh and blood.
