Chương 268: Internal Strife in the Church, the Attacking Boss Yuuki!

After the Demon King's feast ended, Yang Cheng and Rimuru arrived at the Kingdom of Ingrasia almost immediately.

On one hand, they wanted to wipe out Yuuki and his gang in one fell swoop, and on the other hand, they were worried about Alice and the other children who were still at the Freedom Academy.

In order to ensure the complete elimination of Yuuki and Kazalim, in addition to Yang Cheng and Rimuru, Frey and Luminas were also brought in by Yang Cheng as reinforcements to help the Kingdom of Ingrasia.

Unfortunately, as expected, Yuuki ran away before they arrived at the headquarters of the Free Association in the Kingdom of Ingurasia.

Fortunately, Yuuki either forgot about Alice and the others in his haste to escape, or he thought that Yosei and the others didn't care about the children of the Freedom Academy, so he didn't take them away as hostages.

Just as Yang Cheng and his companions were regretting not being able to keep Yuuki, this troublemaker, and were preparing to take Alice and the others back to the Demon Kingdom Federation, Luminas, who was traveling with them, suddenly changed her expression drastically.

"Those guys you're talking about have gone to the Holy Kingdom of Luberios!"

Hinata just contacted me using communication magic. Roy, who stayed at the church as Pope, has been killed, and the murderer is a member of the Mediocre Clowns.

Later, during her pursuit, she encountered Yuuki and the others you mentioned.

Hyuga is currently leading the church's remaining saints in a desperate attempt to hold them off, but the situation seems dire.

As she delivered the news, Luminas's expression was extremely unpleasant.

This bastard named Yuuki and the mediocre clown Lian first used their Western Holy Church as a gun, and now they're even trying to seize power directly. They completely disregard her, the Goddess Luminas!

Yuuki and the others naturally knew that the church had the so-called "strongest saint" Hinata Sakaguchi, as well as the legendary goddess Luminas.

However, compared to Yang Cheng and Storm Dragon, Yu Shu clearly felt that the church was an easier target.

On the Holy Emperor's side, Hinata Sakaguchi was directing the church members to resist Yuuki and his group.

Unfortunately, the mediocre clown is not even at the level of a near-demon king.

Leaving aside Fordman and Tia, Laplace, Kazalim, and Yuuki even reached the level of awakened demon lords.

As the strongest saint, Hyuga could exchange blows with the awakened demon king, but he was clearly no match for him.

Apart from her and Cang Qiong, the strongest of the Three Martial Immortals, who were able to fight against You Shu and the others, everyone else in the church was like weeds, being ruthlessly harvested.

"Hyuga, Soukaku, and some high-ranking members of the church should be kept alive as much as possible so that Kazarim can control them later."

These people still have a significant role to play in controlling the church and using it for our purposes.

Kazalim, like Clayman, is a demon, and Clayman has always idolized and imitated Kazalim.

If Kleiman can control and dominate others, so can Qazalim, and his abilities will only be stronger.

If the goal is to use the Western Holy Church to bewitch nations, it would be best to use the original members of the church's leadership, as this would not arouse suspicion from others.

Seeing that the church was about to fall, many of the clergy present began to pray to their faith in "Lucinas".

However, Yuuki seemed completely unconcerned, even mockingly saying, "As expected, when people are helpless, they can't do anything but pray to so-called gods."

Unfortunately, the deity you worship cannot help you this time. In fact, even if she were to come, she would be in dire straits herself.

Yuuki had been hiding in the Freedom Group for so long, so naturally he had his own intelligence channels, plus Pope Roy, who was killed by Laplace, and his vampire identity.

Therefore, Yuuki can roughly determine that the so-called "Goddess Luminas" is the so-called "Queen of the Night".

Even if she is the "Queen of the Night," she is outnumbered and outmatched. Does she think she can take on all of them by herself?

Yuuki was quite confident in his strength. He might not be very confident if he faced those ancient demon kings, but he could easily take down the "Night Demon Queen" by himself!

"Oh, really? I'd very much like to see how you manage to make me so vulnerable."

The moment Luminas appeared, the church members, who had been stubbornly resisting, instantly became excited as if they had found a pillar of support.

Even Elder Qiyao, who couldn't withstand the pressure before and was the first to join Yushu and the others, suddenly looked grim.

"You caused me a lot of trouble by acting on your own initiative before, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. But now you've turned against me. It seems you're ready to accept divine punishment."

Faced with Luminas's questioning, Elder Qiyao and the others felt immense pressure. However, since things had come to this, they could only stubbornly retort, "Hmph, we believed in you before because we thought you were a true god."

Unexpectedly, the goddess Luminas, whom we worship, turned out to be an evil, dark creature like a vampire.

Now that we know your true colors, how could we possibly associate with you again!

"Our leader, Lord Yuuki, who is part of a free-form group, possesses the qualities of a hero and is willing to help us eradicate darkness and restore the church to its rightful place. We will naturally offer our full support."

After a series of high-sounding excuses, quite a few people in the church were shaken as a result.

After all, the Church knows very few people about Luminas's true identity.

Many ordinary clergy members obviously did not expect that the goddess Luminas, whom they had always worshipped, was actually a vampire from the dark side, and even one of the demon kings.

"Lady Luminas may be a vampire, but think about it yourselves, under her leadership, has anything bad ever happened in the Holy Kingdom over the years?"

There is no clear-cut good or evil in this world. Some people may wear the skin of a human being, but their hearts are uglier than the devil.

"Without Lady Luminas, would the Holy Royal Kingdom and the Holy Church enjoy the peace and tranquility they have today?"

Hinata was one of the people who knew Luminas's true identity, and she also brought up the same story that Luminas had told her before.

Hinata has seen everything Luminas has done over the years, which is why she chose to serve her.

Compared to Luminas, Yuuki and his group clearly have impure motives. If the church falls into their hands, even more people will die as a result.

"What's the use of saying so much? I've said it before, your God can't save you."

She was one of our targets to begin with, and now that she's walked right into our trap, all the better.

As Yuuki spoke, he slowly extended a hand toward Luminas in the air.

Although she didn't quite understand what Yuuki wanted to do, Luminas, who felt she couldn't just sit and wait to die, was about to take action when she was shocked to find that she couldn't use her abilities!
