Chapter 228 Inquisitor!
Chapter 228
And that’s because Oliver was the [Circuit of Abyss], which meant he already had extremely well-defined abyssal channels in his body, like a complex and intricate circuit.
All the paths in his body were already mapped out like a blueprint, refined by the abyss, ready to be traced. So, all he had to do to create the espera channels was to follow those abyssal channels in his body and create adjacent espera channels.
This way, he was able to perfectly lay down the foundation of his espera channel and begin the path of a physical exorcist with a strong base.
Even the most experienced elders would have found it difficult to achieve such perfection in channel formation. After all, seniors could only assist externally; ultimately, a person had to be familiar with their own body internally.
This was also the reason why he was confident in attempting to create espera channels on his own without anyone’s help.
His body was now overflowing with excess espera and energy. It felt as if he could blast through any wall in front of him with a punch.
His core was floating at his solar plexus, and his body was covered in espera channels. This mystical and perfect foundation wasn’t just rare—it was unheard of.
He could now be said to have become a perfect vessel for an exorcist!
Oliver couldn’t help but smile slightly as he looked at the red dome of energy isolating and concealing his existence. He thought about dispelling it now that he had already achieved his breakthrough.
But before he could do so, his ears picked up a tapping sound from the temple’s entrance.
The tapping was faint but deliberate, too methodical to be a random visitor.
His senses had significantly enhanced by now, and his hearing had improved tremendously. He instantly detected the faint but rhythmic sound of someone’s footsteps drawing close to the abandoned temple.
‘I couldn’t have been discovered. Did this person come to visit this abandoned temple, then?’
He had great trust in Abyss energy and knew there was no way he had been found, so the most likely reason behind the unexpected sound of footsteps was that someone had come to the temple.
Even so, something about the presence unnerved him—a quiet, lingering menace that accompanied those footsteps.
He didn’t dispel the Abyssal dome and waited quietly. He couldn’t sense the espera of the other party at all, so it was obvious that whoever was approaching was stronger than him, even though he was now a Rank-2 exorcist.
Since he had already spent so much time hidden in the dome, he didn’t mind waiting a bit longer until the person or demon who had come to the temple left.
He observed the intruder and narrowed his eyes instantly when he noticed the demon.
It was obviously a demon.
‘A woman…?’
He observed her features calmly. She had a human-like build, but her hair was dark, and two long purple-colored horns were on either side of her forehead, matching the color of her eyes.
She was dressed in a black military coat of sorts…
‘Not just any coat… this is…’
‘That’s undoubtedly the uniform of demonic security forces, but it’s different somehow… hmm, is she someone working in internal affairs? Wait, an inquisitor perhaps!’
The blood drained from Oliver’s face as realization hit him.
‘Oh, fuck, what’s an inquisitor doing here?’
Oliver couldn’t help but feel a trace of cold sweat on his neck as he recognized the uniform. It belonged to the Inquisitors of the demon army.
Inquisitors.
They were the shadow of the demon lords, the enforcers of unbending law.
Inquisitors were a specialized faction within the demon world, tasked with enforcing absolute loyalty and rooting out traitors, dissidents, and humans who pose a threat to demon rule.
Inquisitors were one of the most feared groups in the demon world due to their brutal interrogation and torture methods, which have become legendary even among demons.
They were known for their ruthless efficiency, keen intelligence, and use of fear as a weapon.
If a demon feared another demon, it was usually because of the Inquisitors.
In essence,
Inquisitors ensure strict obedience to demon laws and the will of powerful demon lords. They oversee investigations, trials, and executions, often acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
Their primary mission is to identify and eradicate any potential rebellion or resistance, whether from within demon society or from hidden human insurgents.
Moreover, they specialize in gathering intelligence, extracting confessions, and deciphering codes. Their knowledge of both demon and human psychology allows them to anticipate rebellions before they begin.
Of course, just as humans had heretics who worshipped demons within their lands, demons also had their own “heretics” who collaborated with humans for various benefits. There were multiple hidden human establishments in demon territories, organized by the Exorcist Union to weaken them from within.
One of the biggest obstacles for Oliver to escape from demon lands was undoubtedly these Inquisitors.
They could sniff out a human in demon territory as easily as a wolf finds prey.
From the novel, he knew that only demons with twisted morality were ever selected for the role of an Inquisitor. They believed they were enacting the ultimate justice of the demon lords and saw torture and punishment as righteous acts.
Completely different from human standards, naturally.
‘They played a vital role in the Blood War too… that uniform itself is a symbol of fear,’ he thought as he took a deep breath and carefully reinforced the Abyssal barrier for added security.
The demonic woman was quite tall, taller than the average human. Her expression was stoic, and her hair swayed behind her with each step she took.
Her way of walking showed discipline.
She came closer to him as Oliver subconsciously held his breath.
Every nerve in his body screamed at him to stay absolutely still.
The demonic woman gave him a strong sense of unease.
She approached the Abyssal dome, and Oliver stood still, not even moving an inch, holding his breath.
He felt that even with the Abyssal dome, if he made any movements, someone strong could still find it suspicious. And that woman was definitely strong.
The demonic lady was now extremely close to the Abyssal dome. She paused and looked to her side, and his eyes met her face as she seemed to stare directly at him for a moment.
Her eyes narrowed dangerously
