Chapter 469: Manipulating
Letting out a deep sigh, Charles controlled the [Black Inferno] spell to move upward towards the dark clouds and spoke.
"Although I'm not sure if I can defeat the Pope of Light Church, I have the power to kill any Awaken in this Faith Realm within a few seconds. But I don't want to cause chaos everywhere like the 'Nightmare' being. I know how long it would take to build a city like this one, Mr. Smith." He deliberated for a mont, looked up at the cloudy sky, and then continued.
"After reading the Prophecy Book, I learned that Bishop Victor seems to have so deep hatred against , and he also knew only basic things about . Anyway, I want to tell you that I don't have any reason to harm the citizens."
As he spoke, the [Black Inferno] spell continued to move upward and soon entered the dark clouds.
The next instant, the [Black Sun] suddenly started to shrink at a minute level while releasing black streaks and almost disappeared from everyone's eyes.
While the citizens, knights, and other Demon Sorcerers looked at the sky in panic, Charles calmly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
A second later, the almost disappearing [Black Inferno] spell started to expand like never before and appeared more than 100 ters in diater. At that mont, the black inferno spell almost shrouded the sky and released black lightning-like streaks into the dark clouds.
The next instant, a terrifying rumbling sound ca from the sky, followed by flashes of black lightning.
After that, the [Black Sun] released a thunder-like roar that was audible from everywhere, and the citizens heard the sound of heavy rain.
The [Black Sun] was about to break up the next instant, but it suddenly stopped releasing the black lightning streaks.
At that mont, the strange [Black Sun] started vibrating and even showed cracks on the surface.
No one knows how long this strange phenonon lasted, but the [Black Inferno] spell again began to shrink. The rumbling sound disappeared, and a strange eerie silence appeared everywhere.
Like the calm before the storm, this strange silence gave everyone little goosebumps.
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded in the sky a second later, causing the whole kingdom to tremble.
Windows and doors broke into smithereens due to the shockwaves and explosive noise stuck fear in every living being's heart.
So citizens even died of accidents caused by the powerful shockwaves!
At that mont, the whole dark sky was enveloped in so eerie black fla!
Those black flas burned the dark clouds like so devourers and soon disappeared from the sky, leaving behind nothing but an empty deep blue sky.
Charles calmly folded his arms, zeroed his gaze at the Royal Palace without minding the shockwaves, and showed a pleased smile on his face.
"Here he cos."
Just as he finished his words, a lone figure suddenly flew up from the Royal Palace like a bolt of lightning and almost reached the height of 300 ters high in re two seconds. Then, he covered his spear with so eerie black smoke and flew higher.
The silhouette wore a black cloak like Cardinal Bishop and was almost invisible under the dark-blue sky.
He looked around 50 years old, had a pale face, black hair, and brown eyes. He also held a golden spear in his hand and looked at Charles with a stern look on his face. Unlike Cardinal Smith, he didn't use any wing spell and used his wisdom power to fly up in the sky!
'Heh, this guy is indeed a rare one.'
He was none other than Duke Ismael!
On the other hand, Cardinal Smith still hadn't woken up from the shock and watched the empty sky with a blank look on his face.
At that mont, only one thought appeared in his mind.
'Powerful! No, powerful is an understatent to this spell.'
'T-That Victor! He underestimated his opponent too much! If what he said earlier was true, then he is powerful enough to battle equally against His Holiness!'
'But why did he cast a powerful spell in the sky? Did he choose to reveal his presence to the Light Church and the World?'
Cardinal Smith squinted his eyes sharper and soon asked.
"Why aren't you hiding your Sorcerer identity?"
Upon hearing those words, an amusing smile appeared on Charles's face.
"There is no need to hide my identity from others, my friend. Currently, what I want is nothing but safety from the Light Church."
Upon hearing those words, Cardinal Smith froze for a mont and soon widened his eyes.
"You want to beco the King of Aetas Kingdom with my support?"
"Right," Charles nodded his head in approval, pointed his finger at the flying Duke Ismael, and added.
"I want you to kill Lord Duke for breaking the Church War Law and give justice to those innocent souls. As long as you agree to do this, there will be no chaos, no wars, nor any destruction in the future like Victor ntioned in the prophecy book. The Faith Realm's fate lies upon your decision." He deliberated for a second, flew backward a little by flapping the fallen angel's wings, and then added.
"I want to turn you into the 'Hero' of this Faith Realm and unify the kingdoms into a new empire." His words were like devil's tempting whispers.
anwhile, Cardinal Smith frowned deeply and felt so resistance towards his words.
"I'm not your puppet." He muttered subconsciously but stopped as he heard Charles's following words.
"As long as you help , I'll also help you et the Goddess Zaqiel in the future. You may have received divine oracles from her in the form of visions or words, but I know that no one had seen her or even heard her voice after she left this plane. If you help achieve my goal, I'll make everything possible."
As Charles finished talking, Duke Ismael finally reached 3000 ters above the ground and soon appeared 100 ters away from him.
At that mont, he held the spear with both hands and also covered his body in so mysterious invisible energy.
He stared at the cloaked Cardinal Smith for a second and then turned his gaze towards Charles.
"Julius! What the hell was that?" He asked with an icy look on his face, and soon his face stiffened as he zeroed his attention on the eerie black wings on Charles's back.
"You beca a Demon Sorcerer?" A flash of surprise appeared on his face.
On the other hand, Charles glanced at Cardinal Smith and waited for the other party's response.
Noticing his gaze, Cardinal Smith also heaved a deep sigh and nodded his head.
"It seems I've no other choice then."
While speaking, he moved his hand towards his spatial ring, took out an old broadsword from it, and then gripped it tighter.
Simultaneously, he activated his [Truth Domain] power around his body and enchanted his body muscles with light-elental energy.
A second later, he flapped those two holy wings faster and shot towards Duke Ismael like a bolt of lightning!
On the other hand, Charles showed a pleased smile on his face, flew further up in the sky, and soon looked below.
At that mont, he activated his [Arcane Eyes] skill while releasing his wisdom power and started monitoring everything happening in the ground and the sky like an overlord.
