Chapter 964: Chapter 18: Execution! (Part 3)

"Lord Duncan has grown stronger again!"

Not far away, the Crimson Performers were also in shock, and the jester was staring intently at the back of that man.

As for the members of the Wealth Church’s war band, they were equally stunned; Duncan-Starfall, although a guard of the great treasury, rarely acted, and yet his rumored strength was never as terrifying as it was now.

Blood Mark Priest Valaris stumbled up.

As a Divine Favored, he also had his own pride and would never allow himself to be trampled and slaughtered like a dead dog under the enemy’s foot.

But with a casual wave, Duncan broke his other leg.

"Lord Duncan."

"The nearby Pain Cultists have been cleared out," the Shadow Dancer, Kevin, appeared with a look full of reverence.

Duncan nodded slowly, "Hmm."

"Clean the battlefield."

Having said that, he looked down at the Blood Mark Priest Valaris in front of him, a former Paladin and favored of the Goddess of Torment, picked up a war hammer with a spike, and rotated his wrist to aim the spiked side at Valaris’s skull.

This former Paladin had an indomitable will; drenched in blood, utterly disheveled, he once again struggled to stand, half-kneeling in front of Duncan.

Duncan stared into his blood-red eyes, and in a low voice, said, "You can pray to the Divine Spirit you serve now!"

As if realizing something.

The Blood Mark Priest Valaris raised his head in astonishment, staring at the man in front of him, then released his longsword, kneeling with difficulty, closing his eyes to pray to the Goddess of Torment, Lavita. He had fought with all his might, hoping the goddess would witness his bravery.

The expressions of those around carried slight surprise, but the armored knights of the Golden Legion seemed to understand something, and they gathered around.

Duncan held the spiked war hammer, waiting quietly.

As the Blood Mark Priest Valaris finished chanting his last prayer to the Goddess of Torment, Lavita, Duncan decisively swung the weapon heavily, the spiked side of the war hammer piercing into Valaris’s skull.

Execution!

Without the slightest mercy, the body of the Blood Mark Priest Valaris stiffened for a moment, then slowly collapsed.

The surrounding Golden Legion knights silently watched Duncan.

This man offered his enemy his version of mercy.

A former Paladin, not slaughtered like a dead dog, but mercifully given a chance for final prayer by Duncan, who swiftly ended his life.

Meanwhile.

In other parts of Sergeant, some members of the Pain Church seemed to sense something, seeing a prophetic vision.

Among them, a cold man entwined with barbed chains slowly rose and said, "Blood Mark Priest Valaris has died."

"Someone bring the Red Veil Archbishop here."

Upon saying that, an elderly man, covered in wounds, was soon dragged over, and the man, wrapped in barbed chains, squatted down, staring into the eyes of the Red Veil Archbishop, saying, "You can now pray to the Divine Spirit you serve."

Having said that, he gestured, and a Pain Attendant handed him a beheading axe.

The enemy granted a ’Merciful Execution.’

Thus, the followers of the Goddess of Torment responded with ’mercy,’ as the kneeling and trembling Red Veil Archbishop completed his prayer, this scarred man swung the beheading axe, swiftly decapitating the Red Veil Archbishop.

"Interesting."

"The goddess instructs that a man named Duncan-Starfall be sacrificed to her!"

The man revealed a trace of a cruel smile, slowly saying, "Do not torment him, give him a swift execution!"

The goddess has rarely shown such interest in other mortals.

This prey must be personally offered by him!

Outside the city of Sergeant.

Members of the Golden Legion began cleaning the battlefield.

Duncan retracted his weapon, glanced at the already dead Master of Revels, and said emotionlessly, "Take the body back, deliver it to the Mother of Great Bliss."

Beside him, a member of the Saint Coin’s Hand was also secretly observing him.

The Five Fierce Women of the Wealth Church had contemplated utilizing joint rule to undermine the Mother of Great Bliss, but seeing the current situation, it seemed implausible without this man’s support.

In just one battle, the armored knights of the Golden Legion voluntarily began to guard beside him.
