Chapter 536 Using Strength to Suppress Strength
Chapter 536 Using Strength to Suppress Strength
The light of magma flowed in her eyes, and the crackling sound of bones growing was like the prelude to a musical movement—eerie patterns began to appear all over Chloe's eyes from her chest, burning and gradually growing into chair horns, bat wings, and tail vertebrae.
The urge to kill gradually intensified.
Demonized! In pursuit of maximum attack power, Chloe willingly merged with the "Demon Jester Card"!
"The Demon Family?"
The "Rose Bishop" gave a puzzled snort. Soon, he saw countless blue sulfur fireballs wreathed in black flames appear around Chloe and hurtle toward him!
His intuition told him that even as the "Rose Bishop," it would be difficult to defend against such an attack.
Without hesitation, he quickly slipped into a coffee tree and used his "hermit" abilities to hide in the shadows.
Boom boom boom!
The sulfur fireball, carrying spreading cursed black flames, quickly withered and rotted the flesh and blood spread on the ground, rendering it ineffective.
Chloe gazed at the shadows of the bushes, a hint of crimson flashing in her eyes.
"Malice perception"—she knows where her enemy is hiding!
Chloe swiftly drew the iron-black "Sword of Judgment" from her canvas satchel, gripped it with her demonic claws, and flapped her bat wings.
The demon left a trail of afterimages as it pounced on the continuous shadows, and with the speed of a cannonball, plunged the "Sword of Judgment," burning with magma flames, deep into one of the shadows!
Suddenly, a muffled groan came from the void, and blood seeped from the ground where the piercing had occurred.
The figure of the demon Chloe quickly dissolved into a thick, illusory pool of black liquid, as if all emotions and desires had been condensed—this power of the Apostle of Desire made Chloe no longer a physical being, and she could also invade the shadows!
Sensing that he was being corrupted by evil desires, the "Rose Bishop" had no choice but to leave his original position and re-form into flesh and blood around the "Sword of Judgment".
At this moment, the flesh and blood he controlled had been reduced by more than half—under the fierce attack of the demonized Chloe, this "Rose Bishop" suffered unexpected injuries!
But he was not flustered, because the sounds of fighting nearby had already attracted the attention of the guards on duty at the entrance of the plantation. Two men with guns, dressed as "Mr. Z", were rushing over to check the situation.
They couldn't withstand the demonized Chloe, but...
Snap!
The "Rose Bishop" snapped his fingers, and instantly, before the two figures could even scream, their flesh and blood completely collapsed, turning into two viscous waterfalls that clung to his body.
This is the "Rose Bishop's" control over flesh and blood—the Aurora Society has already planted flesh bombs in the bodies of everyone under his control. If he wants, he can instantly control the life and death of his followers!
The moment Chloe saw this, anger surged within her.
She casually pulled the Sword of Judgment from the ground and pointed the tip at "Rose Bishop".
Then, the demon Chloe, in a hoarse and torn voice, issued a declaration and announcement:
"I cannot tolerate such crimes—today, you must die here."
call!
A hurricane was stirred up by the bat wings, and Chloe's afterimage, carrying the "Sword of Judgment," her body wrapped in magma, curses, and piercing frost, crashed into the "Rose Bishop" with unstoppable momentum and without any attempt to evade!
The "Rose Bishop" tried to resist, but when the layers of flesh and blood met the sword's edge, some burned, some froze, and some withered and melted. The few remaining pieces landed on Chloe's body, but they were completely unable to break through her demonized, hard skin.
Throughout the entire sequence, the "Demon" that manifests its demon form is at the very top level in close combat!
The "Sword of Judgment" easily pierced the veil of flesh and blood, penetrating the heart of the "Rose Bishop." The "Rose Bishop" attempted to escape by transforming into flesh and blood, but Chloe once again thrust the "Sword of Judgment," which had already pierced him, downwards into the earth, purifying everything around him once more.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
A pained face emerged from the blood and flesh. Furious eyes glared at Chloe, while the surrounding pools of flesh, covered in tangled hair, trembled and emitted a venomous, twisted sound:
You will pay the price for your actions!
"Hahaha, let's die together! For the Aurora Society! For the great and true Creator!"
At the same time, pools of flesh and blood began to tremble, the frequency increasing rapidly, and in less than a second, it seemed to boil over!
The crimson light engulfed Chloe's figure.
An unprecedentedly massive explosion overturned everything within a ten-meter radius, instantly sending flesh and blood flying, soil, rocks, and tree roots soaring into the sky, leaving only a terrifyingly huge crater and the "Sword of Judgment" still standing straight in the ground, burning with lava and black flames.
A moment later, a black claw covered with strangely patterned skin, yet perfectly proportioned and beautiful, suddenly gripped the hilt of the "Sword of Judgment".
Chloe's figure materialized in mid-air. With a strange expression, she raised the "Sword of Judgment," wiping away the remaining flesh and blood on its blade with black flames, and muttered to herself, looking at the massive crater created by the explosion of flesh and blood:
"Didn't anyone tell you that I have a body double?"
She knew that such a life-burning self-destruct attack could not actually kill the user.
Feeling the curse and then the remaining flesh and blood on the sword, Chloe felt a sense of solidity as she looked at it, and she stopped lingering.
With her demonic claws, she dug into the gathering, bleeding flesh, gathering it along with some dirt into her satchel. Then, Chloe flapped her bat wings and flew off the road at a speed exceeding that of a steam train.
This is why she specifically chose to "demonize." After losing her horse, she didn't have many good ways to move quickly.
Five minutes later, as Chloe felt the demonic madness further eroding her, she finally saw Master Chief David waiting at the intersection.
Chloe breathed a sigh of relief.
A second later, she endured the pain and dug out the "Devil Clown" card, which was almost stuck to her flesh and blood, from her left breast, and her figure gradually disappeared into the air.
At this moment, the sergeant major did not see Chloe in the distance. He was standing at the intersection, waiting for Chloe to appear and send an urgent message so he could ask her about the situation.
Suddenly, he felt something tug at his back—no, not just tug, but a tremendous force that dragged him off his horse!
"Hey, how do I reply?"
Sergeant David angrily raised his head, intending to confront the guy who had played the prank on him, but was speechless with shock at the sight before him.
His warhorse suddenly neighed, raised its front hooves, and its mane began to burn. Evil patterns flowing with lava spread across its body, forming thick skin. The neighing quickly turned into a low growl from hell.
Stunned, the mutated warhorse turned around, its hooves leaving flames on the ground, and galloped towards the city without looking back.

Chapter 537 The Fastest Report
Chapter 537 The Fastest Report
Tangara City, Central Square.
Mayer Macedon was sitting in his room, going through documents and speculating about the true purpose of "Mr. Z" from the Aurora Society.
With his most mobile cavalry already dispatched, he was now unable to ascertain what was happening at Zuoxi Manor and could only await reports.
Now, as the person in charge of the city's security, he needs to keep a close eye on the city to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the fact that half of Intis's regular army has been deployed to stir up riots within the city.
Just as Lieutenant Colonel Meyer had explained to Chloe earlier—he was very unsure about the extent of the Aurora Society's infiltration. In a city of 300,000 people, the spread of a cult could occur in any undetected corner.
I wonder how the crackdown on the lingering troubles from the last Aurora Society incident is going. Meyer, with a worried expression, rested his chin on his hand and looked at the half-open door. Meyer deliberately opened the office door; he needed to get the news as soon as possible, and no possible obstacle could be left behind.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively looked out the window and stood up from behind his desk.
The extraordinary being's keen senses detected the commotion in the distance—shouting grew louder as it approached, accompanied by the panicked cries of the citizens.
Soon, a mutated black horse, covered in spikes and eerie patterns, burning like magma, appeared as if it came from hell, charging towards the square with unparalleled momentum, heading towards the Church of the Eternal Sun, located next to the Intis Consulate.
"Are they crazy? How dare these evil creatures attack the church?" Lieutenant Colonel Meyer frowned and abandoned the idea of taking action.
The Church was better equipped to deal with these evil, mutated creatures. Their archbishop was also on duty at this moment, currently inside the Church.
During the short time he was thinking, the demonic horse, which had clearly mutated, gradually slowed down and stopped at the church entrance.
As the horse slowed, the lava flowing within the eerie patterns on its body gradually died down. The moment the horse came to a complete stop, the previously raging demonic fire and the seemingly hellish lava completely dimmed.
Click!
The next instant, the horse's head, with its demonic horns, fell to the ground with a thud. The headless horse, which had been quite eye-catching, collapsed and lost its life.
Something severed its head and neck at the root.
As a petite figure emerged from the air, Maye Macedon finally understood what was orchestrating all of this—Chloe Faucon's iron-black straight sword dripped with blood. She looked towards the window where Lieutenant Colonel Maye was, raised her hand in a gesture of greeting, flicked her sword, and then put the straight sword into her satchel.
At this moment, the young female adventurer was no longer as capable and relaxed as when she left; she was now quite disheveled.
She was only wearing an ill-fitting trench coat that she had somehow gotten her hands on to cover her body. The clothes underneath the trench coat showed obvious signs of burning and alteration, and were tattered.
This adds a touch of delicate charm to her appearance.
Seeing this scene, he felt a slight stirring in his heart.
But judging from this, it seems they've encountered a fierce battle?
Soon, Maye Macedon dismissed the thought that he shouldn't have appeared at this time. He completely ignored everything that had caused the commotion, decisively put on his coat, jumped out of the window, and strode to Chloe's side:
"What happened, Miss Chloe? No, don't rush, let's go back to the office and talk about it."
At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Meyer waved his hand hastily, signaling to the consulate guards who were rushing toward the scene behind him that he would handle the situation.
"Cough—The situation at Zuoxi Manor is extremely critical."
Although Chloe had prayed to Mr. "Patient" before entering the city to cleanse the accumulated pollution in his body and spirit, the damage to his body caused by demonization still remained, and he could only rely on his body's self-healing ability or extraordinary healing abilities.
Now, her vocal cords are somewhat hoarse from the demonic burning.
As Chloe pulled the collected, mud-soaked flesh and blood of the "Rose Bishop" from her satchel and threw it on the ground, she coughed twice and described her ordeal in the fewest words possible:
"The Aurora Society has taken control there. I killed one, the 'Rose Bishop,' here's the proof."
"Let's go back to the office first."
Seeing the torn clothing beneath the trench coat, revealing glimpses of fair skin, Maye awkwardly looked away and helped her move towards the consulate.
"No need, cough cough cough, I'm not injured." Chloe gently pushed away Lieutenant Colonel Meyer's offer of help and continued in her hoarse voice, "If we just go through this normally, it will be a piece of cake. My suggestion is to have the church send a small team to encircle and annihilate them as soon as possible. Aren't there special troops to deal with this? It would be best to include the navy as well, and have warships that can enter the inland waterways bombard Zuoxi Manor to the ground."
The soldiers, who had surrounded the two men, quickly made way for them, watching in disbelief as the culprit who had caused the commotion was ushered into the heart of the city's power structure by the city's management officials.
Behind them, a man dressed in a white priest's robes looked thoughtfully at Lieutenant Colonel Meyer and the figure beside him who reeked of filth, and finally decided to let them leave.
His disgusted gaze fell upon the headless, body-splitting demonic horse corpse, its blood stained with filth. He reverently raised his hands, summoning a blazing ray of sunlight.
"This is indeed a big problem."
In the policing office, Lieutenant Colonel Meyer listened to Chloe's full account, his brow furrowed.
"Is this trouble not left over from the last aurora festival disturbance, but rather from newly emerged cult followers?"
Chloe, holding her coffee cup—which contained not coffee but warm water to soothe her throat—took a sip and confirmed Lieutenant Colonel Meyer's judgment:
"I think so too. The fact that Aurora would be willing to place a 'Rose Bishop' there might mean that their focus has even shifted to Tangara City."
It is difficult to determine whether Mr. B has arrived in Tangara.
"But one thing is certain: the one I killed was not him. Besides their extraordinary abilities, the Aurora Society's envoys must have possessed other methods—and the one I killed had abilities that didn't stray beyond the 'Rose Bishop' level."
Lieutenant Colonel Meyer nodded, picked up his pen, and added Chloe's assessment to a piece of communication paper:
"Equally admirable. The 'Rose Bishop' is definitely not a rare find in the Aurora Society—if I had personally accomplished the same feat as you, the merits I would have earned would have been enough to get me promoted to colonel by the end of the year."
After finishing writing, Mayer Macedon put the pen aside and rang the bell hanging beside his desk.
Soon, an officer pushed open the office door and walked directly to Lieutenant Colonel Meyer's desk.
Lieutenant Colonel Meyer handed him the communication paper and attached the following:
"A telegram was sent to the Expeditionary Command requesting support. Mr. B" reappeared in Tangara.
"After sending the report, send a copy to the church—and, also send a copy to Governor Kiza."
