Chapter 380: Chapter 380 – Bait

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“What a chaotic city…” Sensing those things, Chen Heng silently closed his eyes.

When night fell, Mary was still in her room.

Under some candlelight, Mary was diligently writing.

She looked like she occasionally encountered troubles, and would frown.

Not too far away, a dark figure crept in, soundless getting closer to Mary.

He continuously got closer, and soon arrived behind her.

Mary was essentially still an ordinary person, while this person behind her was a First Ring expert.

There was a massive gap between them, so she naturallyw as unable to sense them.

Under the faint candlelight, that figure’s appearance was revealed.

He wore black robes and was somewhat skinny, and was a young man.

Looking at Mary, his expression was cold as he slowly stretched out his hands.

The candle’s flames began to flicker, causing the black shadow to be elongated.

Mary slowly raised her head as she seemed to notice something.

However, by now, it was already too late.

A hand grabbed her by the neck, and Shadow energy rushed out, causing Mary’s mind to go blank.

Looking at the fainted Mary, the figure frowned and felt quite surprised.

Before coming here, he had been prepared for failure.

After all, for Mary to come back to Kakik, it made sense that she would have great confidence.

And yet, things had gone so smoothly for him.

No protectors or strange energies, or even Viscount Hatim had appeared.

It was a bit too successful.

However, right now, Mary was unconscious before him—he had succeeded.

As such, even though he was confused, the figure picked up Mary and left.

In the distance, Kamo sat in his seat and frowned in confusion, “So successful?”

Just like the Dusk Church’s people, he had thought that Chen Heng and Mary came with great preparations.

However, it seemed that Mary had been easily captured withojt any complications.

“Could it be we were really thinking too much…” Kamo frowned as he thought to himself.

He thought for a moment before shaking his head—it did not matter anymore.

In order tod ealw with that Viscount Hatim, the Dusk Church had already acted and sacrificed many nobles, so as to partially awaken heir Dusk Divine Weapon.

And now that they had captured Mary, if they also sacrificed her, the Dusk Divine Weapon would awaken even more.

When that time came, no matter how powerful Viscount Hatim,m he would not be able to deal with an awakened divine weapon.

If they could take down that Viscount Hatim, there would be no one who could rival them in the Kalo Kingdom.

However, for some reason, Kamo felt quite unsettled.

As for why this is, he could not figure it out.

Just what had gone wrong?

Kamo sat there and frowned.

Elsewhere, when Mary was being taken away, Chen Heng silently raised his head and looked in a certain direction.

“Has it begun…” His expression was calm as he disappeared from his manor.

In the distance, the dark night covered everything.

“You’re back already?”

Under Kaki, there was a massive and secret altar set up.

There were many magic formations set up around it, hiding their auras so they would not be discovered.

The Dusk Church’s believers earnestly prayed, praying for the Dusk God to descend and bless them.

From how things seemed, the Dusk Church had been in the Kalo Kingdom for a long time.

Standing on the altar, the Dusk Church’s Bishop was a bit surprised as he looked at the person in front of him.

He also ndid not expect things to go so smoothly.

For today’s operation, he had come up with all kinds of plans and countermeasures, and had even sent people to spy on Viscount Hatim.

In the end, they had not used most of the measures.

“It really is Her Highness Mary…”

Standing there and looking at Mary, the Bishop sensed her aura and confirmed.

After hearing that it was really her, everyone present sighed in relief.

“Good timing, we had a sacrifice planned for tonight…” A middle-aged man said, “We might as well sacrifice her tonight, so nothing unexpected happens.”

“Veryw ell.” The Bishop nodded in agreement.

Standing there, he seemed to sense something and looked at Mary as he asked, “Now that things have come to this, are you still going to pretend to be asleep?”

Most of the others were not surprise.d

This was the core of the Dusk Church, and most people here were quite strong, and could sense Mary’s condition.

Mary’s mental ripples were becoming more active, and seemed to have already awakened.

As more people looked at her, Mary finally opened her eyes.

“You…” After seeing where she was, her expression was quite grim, “Where is this?”

“Just as you can see,” The Bishop said ,”This is our church.”

“I’ve never seen a church like this before,” Mary said with a grim look.

Even though it was underground, it was quite bright due to he light from the magic energy in the surroundings.

All around them, pained howls also sounded out.

She could see many torture instruments laid out, all of them seeming quite terrifying.

In the distance, there were people being tortured, making it difficult to look over.

“There are many things you haven’t seen before.” The Bishop laughed and lifted Mary’s face up, “What a beautiful face…”

“Let me think… as a prestigious Princess, I’m sure there are many things you have never experienced you before…”

He laughed and said, “There are around 100 of us here. Soon, all of us will be able to appreciate you in bed… I’m already looking forwards to taking your clothes off and having you perform in front of everyone…”

“It’s just a pity…” Someone laughed, “It’s a pity that we don’t have time, or else I’d like to see you get pregnant and be torn apart while pregnant…”

“Hahaha!” Laughter sounded out, and combined with the howls from the distance, it sounded incredibly chilling.

Mary’s expression became quite grim.

Her mind was quite strong, but here, it was useless.

These people were incredibly adept at breaking people’s wills and tormenting them.

However, Mary did not despair—she knew that she still had hope.

She still had her golden pendant, which was giving off energy and bringing warmth to her body.

Chen Heng was still there.

By now, she understood Chen Heng’s plans, and felt some confidence.

Boom!

At that moment, loud sounds rang out from outside.

Int hat moment, the surroundings trembled, as if the underground region was going to collapse.

Immediately, everyone’s expression changed and looked up.

“Someone is attacking the protective formation!”

“Who is it?” The Bishop’s expression fell and realised something.

In front of them, waves of divine energy flowed out.

Within the faint light, a figure appeared.

He was a young man and had a tall and straight figure, and he began to walk towards them.

Divine energy runes flashed around him, trying to stop him.

However, th8ose measures were useless, and all of them were scattered before him.

Seeing this, everyone’s expressions fell.

“Aktor!”

“It’s him!”

The Bishop and others’ expressions became grim.

“He actually used you as bait!” The Bishop looked at Mary with wide eyes, “Weren’t you afraid we’d end you?”

“If he wants to use me as bait, what can I do about it?” Mary’s expression was calm.

At the very least, Chen Heng had arrived.

Just as she had expected, Chen Heng had used her as bait to find the Dusk Church’s headquarters.

It seemed that as Mary had been captured ,the Dusk Church’s headquarters had also been exposed.

Boom!

Explosions sounded out as a massive formation awakened and gave off terrifying power.

However, this was useless.

Chen Heng’s body continued to head forwards, and no energy, no matter how powerful, could stop him.

Under the light around him, he looked like a majestic god.

Seeing this, the Bishop’s expression fell and said, “Hurry and sacrifice Mary! Awaken the Dusk Divine Weapon!”

By the side, some people nodded and began to move.

They raised up Mary and prepared to throw her into a pool of fire.

“Am i… going to die?” Massive flames appeared, accompanied by searing heat.

Feeling that massive heat, Mary’s expression changed as she thought to herself.
