Chapter 23: The Flesh of the Dominator

Looking at the dead Carlos Radner.

Gunie's eyes narrowed slightly.

As his strength increased, those powerful scriptures that had been idle for a long time increasingly revealed their formidable and terrifying aspects.

Gunie, who had just been promoted to Transcendent Master, already possessed the strength to slay a seventh-stage mid-phase Transcendent Master.

Of course, the Mechanical Angel Armor also provided Gunie with considerable assistance.

Gunie's own speed was not slow to begin with, and coupled with the Angel Armor, the combination naturally made him even faster, allowing him to easily catch up with a Transcendent of the seventh-stage mid-phase.

"Now, condensing more Demonic Runes and Secret Crossing Runes won't significantly enhance my strength."

"I should also condense some Holy Shadow Runes to increase speed."

"Below the Transcendent Master level, speed is not a major criterion for measuring strength to a large extent."

"However, at the Transcendent Master level, flight speed is a very important attribute. When truly in danger, the faster you fly, the greater your chance of survival."

"Moreover, in normal combat, having speed gives you many options, and the initiative is entirely in your hands."

While pondering, Gunie flipped his hand, and Carlos Radner's severed right arm appeared in his hand.

When he cut off the opponent's right arm earlier, Gunie used the Space Principle to roll it up and directly store it in his Transcendent Storage Space.

On this right arm, the storage ring was still on the finger.

He removed the Transcendent Ring and put it away, then threw the arm into the sea of blood.

Only then did Gunie look down.

At this moment, in the entire massive Nafbo Fortress, hundreds of thousands of residents had noticed the battle high in the sky.

Countless eyes were fixed on Gunie's figure in the air.

For this battle, Gunie had long prepared many contingency plans for victory.

Of course, he had also prepared to flee if he couldn't win.

Gathering demonic source power, Gunie spoke softly, his voice like thunder, full of majesty and sanctity.

"I am a Mechanical Angel from [Saint Haigar]. Sent by Lord Zdravko Gilmore, whom you call the God of War, I descend upon the continent of Oya."

With the support of his source power, Gunie's voice resounded over an area of more than ten kilometers.

As soon as Gunie said this, the hearts of the many residents below trembled.

And many Transcendents vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Zdravko Gilmore was the name of the God of War.

But this name was taboo in the Church of War; speaking the true name of a deity was a great sin.

Yet this so-called Mechanical Angel from Saint Haigar claimed to have come on the orders of the God of War.

"Lord Zdravko Gilmore, though in a distant world, has sensed what is happening here."

"Several high-ranking leaders of the Church of War have betrayed the God of War; they are blasphemers against the deity."

"They have tampered with the path of divine faith, collecting faith power in an attempt to create a—false god."

"Moreover, they have collaborated with evil gods, seeking to use the lives and flesh of the God of War's believers to help the evil god grow."

These words struck the hearts of the many residents like thunder, shaking their minds.

"Now, the high-ranking members of the Church of War have completely betrayed the doctrines established by Lord Zdravko Gilmore, betrayed their faith, and blasphemed the great God of War."

"All believers of the God of War, from today onward, spread this message. Under no circumstances go to the churches built by those blasphemers who have betrayed the God of War to pray."

"Every prayer you offer in those churches will have its faith power collected by those blasphemers, used to forge an evil false god and weaken the true God of War."

"If those blasphemers force you to pray, remember this: when praying, never again recite the true name of the 'God of War,' for that will only empower the false god and allow these blasphemers to succeed."

"What the God of War desires is equality and freedom for all, freedom from the suffering of war."

"Not the ruthless exploitation you suffer under these blasphemers, who treat you like livestock."

"I have descended this time to slay these blasphemers and traitors."

"Today's killing of Carlos Radner is just the beginning."

"In the future, I will slay these blasphemers one by one."

Gunie's voice slowly faded like thunder.

If you don't occupy the moral high ground of faith, your enemy will.

Though Gunie's words might not have a huge effect,

they would at least plant a seed in some people's hearts.

Even if only a portion believed Gunie's words and stopped reciting the true name of the God of War in prayer, his efforts would be quite successful.

Secondly, within the church's diocese, there were also resisters.

Many were dissatisfied with the church's rule.

And Gunie's actions could give those resisters a just cause.

After finishing his speech,

Gunie flew toward the church castle area.

Just as he arrived above the castle,

"Blasphemous heretic, you will fall into the abyss and be devoured by demons!" Curses rose from below.

"Damned heretic, get out!"

"Evil spirit from another realm, you will suffer the most vicious curse!"

All kinds of abuse came thick and fast.

At the same time, many spells flew up from below to attack Gunie.

"I think that remark is more fitting for the leaders of the Church of War; they are the true heretics," Gunie replied inwardly.

Then, Gunie quickly cast summoning spells, and fourth-rank Dark Werewolves rapidly appeared below.

In moments, over a hundred Dark Werewolves had appeared.

The Dark Werewolves that had previously killed the church knights were summoned by Gunie.

"Kill them all."

With Gunie's command, the group of Dark Werewolves began a ruthless slaughter within the castle.

Among them were three very powerful fifth-rank Dark Werewolf leaders, capable of dealing with a certain number of fifth-rank and even sixth-rank church Transcendents.

If there were too many high-rank church Transcendents, it would be uncertain.

The bloody battle had already begun.

Following the guidance of the Adventure System, Gunie concealed his tracks and descended.

The Flesh of the Dominator was within this church castle.

Walking inside the castle, the sounds of spell explosions, clashes of Transcendent martial skills, and screams intertwined into a net of death covering the entire castle.

The smell of blood also spread everywhere.

The three fifth-rank Dark Werewolf leaders were particularly powerful, standing four meters tall, with claws as sharp as mithril daggers.

Gunie had already signed summoning contracts with them, and he planned to summon more of these Dark Werewolf leaders, and even Dark Werewolf lords, as they were very handy for dealing with minor enemies.

Soon, Gunie followed a staircase into a cellar and walked forward.

"This adventure content doesn't indicate danger. If I'm not mistaken, it should be from the same Dominator as the flesh I encountered before. Otherwise, if it were from another Dominator, there would surely be danger."

If it were flesh from another Dominator, acquiring it would surely result in death. Gunie, having just been promoted to Transcendent Master, didn't want to fall back to Transcendent sixth-rank due to reincarnation.

"I hope this piece of flesh is larger, so I can digest it longer."
