Lightning streaked through the night sky like a slithering serpent, followed by thunder that exploded like a raging torrential flood.
The fierce winds howled, and the heavy raindrops, like countless beads, plumted from the heavens, turning the already uneven streets of the Outer City District into a muddy ss.
On both sides of the street, every house was shuttered tight, even the candles extinguished, as if fearful of attracting attention.
Deep within the Outer City District was Rose Manor.
This was the largest manor in the district and also the core base of the Rose Association.
At that mont, within this beautiful, rose-filled manor, a fierce battle was underway.
A massive semi-transparent Divine Magic Shield enveloped the entire manor, with mysterious runes swirling around it.
Inside the shield, over a hundred Apprentice Judgnt Knights, led by Knights in red Divine Robes, were fighting the last resisters from the Transcendents of the Rose Association.
Illuminated by the Divine Magic Shield, golden glints shone on the knights, forming an impenetrable shield around them.
They were indifferent to the attacks of the Rose Association’s Transcendents, one by one, toppling the resistors.
Screams, curses, the clashing of swords, and the chanting of spells interwove with the sounds of wind, rain, and thunder, barely discernible.
On the ground, crushed rose petals scattered everywhere, mingling with bright red blood to form streams that were quickly washed away by the rain.
Several knights, clad in red cloaks and wielding Ring Cross silver swords, rode atop their Dragon Scale Horses, watching the storm-swept manor with detachnt.
Embroidered on their chests were silver moons, marking them as leading Second Tier Knights of Silver Moon.
The leader appeared to be a man in his forties.
His curly gray hair, hooked nose, and cold, pale gray eyes were visible even in the dim light.
The large raindrops fell but slipped freely sideways about ten centiters away from his body, creating a dry space around him, leaving his clothes untouched.
This was the Source Power projection.
It was the most significant mark of a Second Tier Knight.
Glancing at the sky, his gaze fell on the Divine Magic Shield enveloping the manor, and he asked in an icy voice,
"Has the Judgnt Prison been sealed?"
The accompanying Judgnt Priest replied respectfully,
"Lord Rajiv, it has been sealed. We will not let any evil-doer in the manor escape."
"Check the underground. These gangs often have hidden tunnels built for escape. Don’t let them get away, even though the city gates are closed. It would still be troubleso to track them down in the Outer City District."
The Second Tier Knight nad Rajiv said coolly.
"Understood."
The Judgnt Priest bowed and then proceeded into the manor with several Apprentice Judgnt Knights.
anwhile, Second Tier Knight Rajiv continued to watch the storm-stricken manor coldly.
He was not worried about the outco of the battle to eliminate the Rose Association. In fact, with the Judgnt Prison cast over the manor, these Second Tier Knights didn’t even need to lift a finger.
While the Rose Association wielded supernatural powers, the majority were Transcendents who had not entered any tier. Very few had entered even the first tier, Starry.
As for reaching above the Second Tier of Silver Moon, only Sebastian Flaheart, the leader of the Rose Association, had achieved that.
But now, Sebastian Flaheart was not even in the manor. Without their leader, the Rose Association stood no chance against the Judgnt Knights.
The battle quickly reached its climax.
No.
Rather than calling it a battle, it was more like a one-sided crushing from the beginning.
The Rose Association was ultimately an underground gang, and it had been established for less than a decade.
Without their powerful leader, such a force stood no chance against fully ard Judgent Knights.
One after another, the Transcendents of the Rose Association were captured, bound, and subsequently escorted to an open space in front of the manor.
At first glance, there appeared to be no fewer than two hundred people, half of whom were Transcendents.
They were n and won of varying ages and even different races; the majority were human, but there were also many Sub-humans, underground dwarfs, and even Half-Elves...
The Judgent Knights had entered the buildings of the manor and begun their final search.
Soon, two Judgent Knights swiftly erged from the manor, escorting a Sub-human maid.
They approached several Second Tier Knights of the Silver Moon, threw the Sub-human maid to the ground, and then knelt on one knee before them, respectfully saying,
"Lord Rajiv, we have captured the housemaid of Sebastian Flaheart, the president of the Rose Association."
"She destroyed the Rose Association’s docunts; we were unable to reach her in ti, and the roster of the Rose Association’s mbers has been burned by her."
"She attempted suicide, but we stopped her, only... we were too late to prevent her from biting off her own tongue."
"Moreover... through interrogating so peripheral mbers of the Rose Association, we learned that they had already received information about our departure and had started evacuating personnel."
"Many, especially the peripheral mbers... might have already fled."
Saying this, the two Judgent Knights hung their heads in sha.
Upon hearing these words, the leading Knight Rajiv seed unconcerned and casually said,
"Never mind. I have had the list of mbers of the Rose Association for so ti now."
"This isn’t exactly a secret; anyone intent on finding out could have done so."
"The city gates have been closed, and I have already ordered the Judgent Troop to track down these underground vermin. I believe by now, many have been caught."
"Their people... including those peripheral mbers, none will escape!"
Saying this, he retrieved a parchnt scroll from his bosom.
If Charlotte were here, she would recognize that this piece of parchnt contained the inforr’s information shown to her by the Great Priest!
Not only that, but this parchnt scroll was richer in information compared to what was copied by the Great Priest and even included the mber list of the Rose Association.
And on that list, under the column for peripheral mbers, nas such as Frank and Mina stood out!
Hearing Rajiv’s words, the Judgent Knights looked sowhat hesitant.
"Lord Rajiv... sending the Judgent Troop to track them might have a negative impact in the city. Their actions are hardly ticulous, and this is Bold City, even if it’s the Outer City District..."
"In Bold, is there anything worse than an organization as corrupt and evil as the Rose Association?"
Rajiv slightly shook his head.
"Rest assured, those who are sensible will keep their doors tightly shut at this ti. As for those who dare to shelter the Rose Association at this mont... they should know what’s coming to them."
"The peripheral mbers are mostly not Transcendents and are not worth entering into the Judgent Troop; if they die, they die. That is the price they pay for joining the Rose Association!"
The Second Tier Judgent Knight coldly stated.
