Chapter 285 Inventorying the Loot
"The Dark Saint" Kesma never dreamed that Mr. Raphael of the Aurora Society would want to kill him!
Of course, what he didn't expect was that Raphael killed him so swiftly that his body and spirit were blown to pieces almost instantly.
Keep in mind that even though Kexma is currently severely injured, he can still easily take down a Sequence 5.
But the reality is the opposite.
However, in the last moments of his life, Kesma realized that the assassination attempt on Butis today was an operation carried out by Raphael in collusion with other holy figures from other organizations!
Because the phantom with long goat horns that arrived before Raphael was the same phantom that had fought against Kesma earlier.
This was a bit hard for Kesma to accept, considering that Raphael was not only Mr. A of the Aurora Society, but also "Redemption Rose".
The members of that organization are the most loyal to the "master"!
Why did Raphael do that?
With this question in mind, Kesma's spirit completely dissipated.
Raphael breathed a sigh of relief. Having experienced fighting the "Black Knight" before, he knew how resilient the extraordinary beings of this path were, so he summoned the phantom before setting off.
And right from the start, he used his strongest attack: the Cursed Crystal!
It was "taken" from the corpse of Bradel, the youngest son of the "Giant King," and was a curse from the "Ancient Sun God," which could only be used five times.
It was used again now, but it was worth it because Raphael obtained two demigod-level sealed artifacts.
One is the "Black Knight," and the other is the "Witch King" whom Kexma "herds."
There are also two Level 2 sealed artifacts worn by Kexma, and a "space pocket".
This "spatial pocket" was clearly made with the help of "the Saint of Mysteries," Butis.
Before he could see what was inside, Raphael gathered the pieces of Kexma's flesh together and summoned the messenger Payne once more.
For Payne, the "Black Knight's" scraps of flesh were also a good thing; although they were a bit charred, they were still very active inside.
Payne remarked to Raphael, "You've paid me too much; I'll have to deliver your letters for over three years now."
The terms they had agreed upon were that for a corpse of Sequence 6 or Sequence 5 level, Payne would send him letters for a month, and for a saint's corpse, he would send letters for a year.
Payne never expected that, after knowing Raphael for just over two months, he would obtain two corpses of the "Black Knight".
Raphael laughed and said, "If you feel too much pressure, you can trade in other ways, such as helping me fight once, which can be equivalent to three years' worth of payment."
"That's a great idea," Payne said immediately. "Then you can ask me to fight for you anytime you want."
He was genuinely afraid that once this guy was promoted to demigod, the rewards he received in one or two years would be used to send letters to this guy that would take one or two hundred years to deliver.
Raphael was taken aback, not expecting the other party to agree so readily.
He possesses Saint-level combat power! One would need at least a "ten-year" reward to make a move?
But Raphael thought about it again. The other party's way of thinking was different from that of a normal saint. Perhaps he really thought it was a fair deal.
After Payne left happily, Raphael also quickly left the battlefield.
About half a minute later, a beam of light flashed by, and Triss, the "Witch of Despair," emerged from the "Mirror World."
At the level of demigods, witches can quickly reach their desired destinations by constantly "mirror jumps".
Moreover, they can jump over anything that reflects light, such as smooth stones, animal eyes, and so on.
While it's not as fast as "traveling," it's enough to track down most enemies of the same or lower level.
The ice crystals Triss had previously pierced into Kexma's body, besides worsening the "Black Knight's" injuries, also allowed her to roughly sense Kexma's location.
Triss's senses will only cease to function once Kexma's injuries have almost fully healed and the frost on his body has melted.
But Triss found nothing there.
Just when she thought the mark she left had been erased by the "Dark Saint," she noticed a small pit on the ground in front of her, surrounded by darkness.
Triss's eyes narrowed. As she approached the small pit, she immediately sensed that an incredibly powerful force had just appeared there!
That power must have been released in the form of a curse or something similar, because the surrounding plants had already begun to wither.
Death. And this withering will continue to spread until the vegetation within a few kilometers is completely dead, until the vegetation within a dozen kilometers becomes weak.
Triss immediately realized: Kesma was dead! And it seemed she had been killed by an angel!
Then the "Heart of the Mirror God" that she had been searching for was nowhere to be found.
Just then, Triss's spirit suddenly issued a warning, and she immediately entered a state of "invisibility".
The next second, a hurricane with extremely high speed swept in, making the branches that were just about to sprout sway violently.
In an instant, the wind blew from afar to the spot where Kexma had died, the hurricane dispersed, revealing the imposing power of Radar Valentine.
The Archbishop of Backlund, the Church of Storms, could have arrived earlier than Beatrice, but he and three other official demigods went to scout another battlefield first.
He made this choice because he himself was not confident in killing the "Black Knight".
It's not that we're too weak to continue attacking, but rather that after the "Black Knight" catches his breath here, he'll definitely continue to escape, and we certainly won't be able to catch him.
But after looking around, Radar's eyes narrowed. There was an aura that made him tremble. He was certain that the "Black Knight" was dead.
He took a deep breath and adjusted his state. Suddenly, a spirit as tall as a mountain appeared not far away and placed a figure on the top of a tree.
The figure, dressed in a black archbishop's robe, with deep-set eyes and no beard, was Anthony Stevenson, the head of the Church of the Night's Backlund diocese.
The moment the other party appeared, their expression turned serious: "This astonishing aura is—"
At this point, Anthony looked at Radar in mid-air as if seeking confirmation, as if he were verifying something.
Radar took a deep breath before saying, "The ancient sun."
He sensed a similar aura in some artifacts from the Tertiary period.
Triss, who was quietly leaving the scene, was slightly taken aback: The ancient sun god?
What exactly happened here?
At this moment, Raphael was inspecting the spoils of war in the "Dark Hut".
The two Saint-level attributes and two Level 2 sealed artifacts weren't anything special, so I casually placed them on the stone platform to the side.
He opened his "space pocket" and took out a heart-shaped object that looked like glass or crystal.
Raphael was taken aback; this seemed to be a main material at the Saint level!
