When Isaac started moving, the violent spiritual energy within his power core had already erupted. Nicholas on the horse instantly felt the surge of this immense power, and his heart squeezed violently. He could tell Isaac was a formidable enemy.But he couldn't retreat at this moment. With a roar, he wielded his long sword, which released bursts of cold light under the moonlight. He infused a tremendous power into the long sword and struck it at Isaac, who was rushing toward him.Robbie referred to that force as Luminar magic, which erupted from the long sword. It generated a powerful invisible force that assaulted Isaac. With barely a few miles away, Isaac clenched his right fist and punched out.His scarlet shadow fist instantly shattered the force burst from Nicholas' long sword, and he struck again at Nicholas' face. Nicholas' expression changed drastically. With a roar, he drew a cross in front of him with his long sword, releasing a great force from his chest.The coll

Donovan turned to Isaac and asked, "What if he hasn't brought your people?""It's impossible. I refused to go to their headquarters for the hostage exchange because I wanted him to think I was afraid of him. Plus, judging from his tone, he seemed to care a lot about his Dark Horse Knights." Isaac glanced at Nicholas.During the phone call just now, the Grand Archbishop expressed no concern about Caelum and Sigmund.According to Isaac's guess, the Dark Horse Knights were most likely the Grand Archbishop's most powerful confidants and symbols of authority.He had already made a rough analysis during the previous confrontation. Nicholas' strength could be comparable to that of a Celestial Phase initial-stage cultivator.To develop such strength in his subordinates, like Issac's generals of the seven armies, the Grand Archbishop couldn't afford to lose any of them as he couldn't assemble the force overnight.Listening to Isaac's analysis, Donovan nodded and stated, "You're right. So,

As soon as the two Dark Horse Knights heard Lotis' angry command, they immediately grabbed Andrew and Willis behind them. But before they could do so, two terrifying bursts of spiritual energy simultaneously blasted toward them.Two muffled sounds rang out as the two Dark Horse Knights screamed in pain and fell backward.Isaac and Donovan dashed past the two dark horses, grabbing Andrew and Willis from the horses' backs.Andrew only heard the rushing wind. Then, he noticed Lotis and the Dark Horse Knights drifting further away. They completely disappeared from his sight in only a few breaths.Although he couldn't describe Isaac's speed, he knew he was safe now.Lotis angrily shouted when he saw several Dark Horse Knights turn around to chase after Isaac and Donovan, "Stop chasing them! Hurry up and save the hostages!"He appeared extremely gloomy at this moment. As Grand Archbishop, it was the first time he felt he had been duped horribly.Nobody knew how strong Isaac was. Caelu

The rough location Black Phoenix provided was less than a mile in diameter. As Isaac had expected, the map couldn't display the church headquarters' location.But for him, that was enough. A mile was already close.Donovan took Andrew and Willis aboard a ship to leave overnight, while Isaac dragged Nicholas into the villa.He splashed a basin of cold water on Nicholas' face, waking him up from unconsciousness.Nicholas became enraged when he saw Isaac seated on the couch. "What do you want? Where am I?""I'd like to ask you a few questions. If you can answer me truthfully, I might consider sparing your life," Isaac lit a cigarette and said lightly.Then, he blew a smoke ring and asked, "I know that the Lumen Church and the vampires are mortal enemies. What would you guys do if you caught the vampires?"Nicholas smirked evilly. "Aren't you asking nonsense? Of course, we would send those disgusting dark beings into the sunlight to face God and repent.""What if you guys didn't ki

Isaac was astonished when he saw the ancient castle in front of him.That was what the Lumen Church's headquarters really was. The reason it couldn't be found on the map, as Robbie said, was that the entire area around that ancient castle was covered in dense white mist.The castle was made up of three towering buildings joined by an oval roof and spires on top.Isaac could see vague figures moving around as if transporting something or working.Just as he was about to move forward, he noticed five missionaries in black robes approaching him.The missionary captain at the forefront had already spotted Isaac. If he ran now, he would be exposed.He gritted his teeth and lowered his head, then continued walking forward.Just as he was about to pass them, the missionary captain abruptly stopped him, bowed, and respectfully said, "Good morning, sir. Please show your Knight's Token."Knight's Token?Isaac was dumbfounded. Nicholas hadn't told him about Knight's Token.At this point
