Chapter 1607: Chapter 334: Atang Spewing Tentacles

It was as if he couldn’t see the presence of the two Descending Angels at all; Father Strala even gave up on using the scripture to smack Mai Rada’s head, opting instead to kick him.

Who knows how, with Father Strala’s kicking power, Mai Rada managed to survive—anyway, he didn’t die.

“Enough!” the male Descending Angel suddenly shouted in a deep voice!

As Descending Angels, since arriving in so many Sub-worlds where the Holy Church exists, they’ve never encountered humans who completely disregard them… especially in a church chapel.

“Who’s speaking?” Father Strala indeed stopped at this moment, but suspiciously looked around, “Which bastard thing is speaking?”

The male and female Descending Angels exchanged a glance… If this priest hadn’t noticed them at first, it was a self-deceptive excuse, but now they couldn’t even find a reason to justify this priest!

Ignoring… blatantly ignoring them, even referring to angels as… bastards?

The male Descending Angel’s eyes narrowed, he directly raised his hand, spreading his five fingers, and a Holy Light instantly gathered in his palm.

“Wait!” At this moment, a figure rushed swiftly into the chapel… the burly Paladin Vasco reached out and blocked Father Strala, saying in a deep voice, “Paladin Vasco greets the two Descending Angels! Strala has night blindness, cannot see things at night… he didn’t do it on purpose!”

Speaking, Vasco hurriedly glanced at Father Strala, making a gesture with his eyes—trusting that with their years of friendship, the other should understand.

—Stop messing around, I can only help you this much! These are Descending Angels after all!

“Night blindness?” Unexpectedly, Father Strala blinked at this moment and cursed, “My eyes are fine! Vasco, I can see the crumbs stuck on your beard! You old bastard definitely stole my breakfast bread for tomorrow! You old bastard!”

Vasco was almost furious; he was the first to receive the news from the Holy Church that two Descending Angels would arrive—but he didn’t expect the arrival to be so swift.

This shocked Vasco, causing him to quickly ponder the purpose of the Angels’ arrival—but before he could think of anything, the Angels had arrived and already encountered Strala.

Worse still, even when faced with Descending Angels, Strala’s foul mouth showed no mercy… Heresy! Heresy, this old bastard is definitely heretical! Really wants to hammer this old bastard to death!

“Descending Angels! Strala was just attacked by the Black Religious Congregation during the day, his head was injured, he’s currently confused!” Vasco gritted his teeth, saying words even he didn’t believe.

Unexpectedly, Father Strala looked at Vasco with a strange expression, “I say old bastard, whom are you talking to? It’s late at night, you wouldn’t have bumped into ghosts, right? This is a chapel, my territory, which ghost dares come here! Don’t scare me!”

“Strala! Enough!” Vasco was practically fraud… this guy seemed like he’d lost his mind, those two Descending Angels were hanging in the church, with Holy Light effects shining, how could he not see!

“Is your head really okay?” Father Strala reached out to feel Vasco’s forehead, sighed, and said, “Fine, I won’t blame you for stealing my breakfast bread for tomorrow, considering the favor from when you let me secretly watch your sister bathe as a child.”

“I… I shall smite you, beast!!”

Vasco instantly shouted in rage, about to draw his sword.

But at this moment, the female Descending Angel coldly called out, “Stop it, Vasco Paladin, no matter what you say, he can’t see us.”

Vasco’s anger immediately halted, looking in amazement at the two Descending Angels… he didn’t see anger on their faces… instead, what he saw was a peculiar and profound expression.

“Can’t see… what do you mean by can’t see?” Vasco subconsciously asked.

The male Descending Angel said indifferently, “Don’t you understand yet? This Father Strala, in his heart, has long lost faith… Everything about my Lord is illusions in his heart. How can a person without faith see the embodiment of faith… he has already subconsciously excluded our existence, so no matter what you say, he’ll just think you’re talking to yourself.”

“How can that be!” Vasco looked at Father Strala with surprise and uncertainty.

The priest picked his nose indifferently, looking at Vasco with disdain, “What are you looking at! Your sister has been dead for so many years, I was the one who scattered her ashes, are you still seeking revenge?”

“Strala, you… your faith?” Vasco didn’t hear the priest’s mad words, frowned and said, “What about your faith?”

“Faith?” Father Strala frowned, then pointed to the cross on him, saying irritably, “Are you blind? Isn’t this it… damn! Was your head also clamped shut?”

Vasco suddenly shivered, grabbing the cross on the priest’s body and tearing it down… He looked at the cross he caught in his hand, his back instantly went cold.

Behind the cross was surprisingly engraved with dense words. [Bastard], [Devil], [Liar], [Sinner]… the entire back of the cross was engraved!

“This… this is your faith?” Vasco seemed drained of energy, subconsciously stepped back a few times, “No wonder… no wonder you’re unaffected by the Field of Corruption, no wonder… I see!”

Seeing this, the Descending Angels didn’t plan to wait for Vasco to recover. The male Descending Angel directly waved his hand, shooting a Holy Light that transformed into light ropes, instantly binding Father Strala.

“As a servant of the Lord, having betrayed to this extent… come with me for judgment.” The male Descending Angel coldly snorted at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Father Strala struggled with both hands, the Holy Light ropes binding him snapped easily like paper strips, he shook his arms, suspiciously looking around, angrily shouting, “Which bastard attacked me!”

The male Descending Angel was greatly surprised… Though the light ropes weren’t some ultimate technique, they weren’t things for easy escape, “Hmph, you have some skill, no wonder you dare to ignore faith.”

After coldly snorting, the male Angel again shot Holy Light, this time with both hands together, two segments of light ropes bound Father Strala once more!

This time Father Strala struggled a bit, felt something pulling him, cursed loudly, then swung his hefty body, again snapped the light ropes on him… Not just that, he reached out to grab one segment of the ropes, then yanked fiercely, swinging them vigorously!

Boom—!!!

Angels… the male Descending Angel was unexpectedly swung down onto the chapel’s floor by Father Strala—instantly, the floor cracked, creating a human-shaped pit!

Father Strala jumped up, pressing down on the male angel, punching down forcefully, “Don’t think invisibility means I can’t deal with you! Invisibility is so impressive huh! I also want invisibility skills! Damn!! I don’t have it! Beating you to death, you voyeur!! I’m not for you to peek at! Watch me beat you to death!”

Seeing Father Strala punch the male Descending Angel till he spat fresh blood, defenseless, the female Descending Angel subconsciously screamed, “God Defiler… you’re a God Defiler!”

Boom—!!

Father Strala threw one last punch, shaking the entire chapel… he then stood up with a satisfied expression, tidying his clothes, looking at the dazed Vasco and said, “Old bastard! Look if this invisible guy died or not! I still can’t see!”

Damn it, that old bastard! Can’t you see you’ve almost hammered me to death?!

Vasco cried out in his heart… What did he just see?

He just saw Stretta brutally beat the Descending Angel, even beating it to the point of spitting blood continuously… Crazy, it’s crazy! He felt that Stretta wasn’t the crazy one, but that he himself was going insane.

“Heresy!! I will purify you!!”

The male Descending Angel, struggling to get up, suddenly let out an angry roar… On his body, the fierce Holy Flame burned, and the severe injuries were mending at a speed visible to the naked eye. Aside from his clothes being somewhat tattered, in merely a blink of an eye, he became energetic again.

A pillar of light shot skyward, instantly breaking through the invincible church, shooting into the midair… The air trembled due to the Descending Angel’s anger!

At this moment, the male Descending Angel held the Holy Light spear and shield, donned in silver battle armor, and his radiance illuminated the night sky over most of the town.

“Philes, don’t be impulsive!” the female Descending Angel shouted in alarm at this moment—finally realizing the name of the male Descending Angel.

But the enraged Angel Philes obviously couldn’t hear her, as he directly threw the Holy Light spear in his hand downward at the church below!

With a single hit… the church shattered!

The entire church location, with the furious strike of Angel Philes, turned completely into a pit seven to eight meters deep!

In the sky, Angel Philes’ anger had not subsided. As an angel who battled in numerous sub-worlds, he had injured countless heresies… Unlike the regular angels of Heaven, they were combat angels of Heaven, extremely powerful!

At this moment, a faint Holy Light broke through in the pit.

It was Vasco, with a pale face, pushing away a layer of dirt on his body… Below him were several Squire Candidates who had fallen, unable to get up—just before Angel Philes’ attack, Vasco exerted every ounce of his strength, barely making it to the candidates’ dormitory and setting up a defense, just barely deflecting the power of the attack.

“Your divine power is of good quality, very promising,” Angel Philes said in surprise, glancing at Vasco. “If you ascend to Heaven someday, our Exploration Corps will want you!”

Vasco’s heart tightened… If this had happened half a day earlier, he might not have been able to withstand it—the divine power had just been tempered and ascended to another level… because of that mysterious young man.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

The sound of coughing came from not far away, and Father Strala crawled out from the mud at this moment… Not only did Father Strala crawl out himself, but he also dragged out Mai Rada, who had already been kicked into unconsciousness.

Seeing Father Strala unharmed, Vasco subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, but then his heart tightened again—he knew Strala too well, especially how he looked when he was truly angry… When Strala was angry, he didn’t argue, just glared at you.

“Destroying someone’s church is like killing their wife,” Father Strala looked up at the sky at this moment, “Well, a several-thousand-watt incandescent lamp, I can see you now! You’ve offended me, and you think you can leave tonight? If I don’t pound you to pieces tonight, I won’t eat meat tomorrow! Atang, get this bastard who tore down your kitty house!”

Atang?

Vasco froze for a moment… The female Descending Angel was also momentarily dazed—she remembered the cat that swallowed the Holy Light.

At the same time, an ominous feeling began to spread in the hearts of the two Descending Angels.

Amidst the giant pit’s dirt, just when this ominous feeling in the hearts of the two angels reached its peak, unexpectedly, hundreds of gigantic tentacles like octopus limbs shot out!

Philes and the female Descending Angel were taken aback; a scent they were very familiar with emerged the moment these giant tentacles appeared, making them realize what they were facing immediately.

“Void… Elemental Demon?!”

“Impossible! How can there be such a thing in a sub-world!”

In shock and anger, they swiftly slashed at the tentacles reaching for them… Only to see Atang crawling out from the mud in the pit.

Those terrifying tentacles were spewed from Atang’s mouth!

The two Descending Angels seemed utterly terrified of Atang’s spewed tentacles, dodging in mid-air, looking wretched… Finally, Angel Philes shouted, and a burst of Holy Light from his body temporarily forced the tentacles back.

Angel Philes shouted, “Go!”

With that, Angel Philes was the first to flap his wings to escape. The female Descending Angel hurriedly followed, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the vast night.

The enormous tentacles gradually retracted, eventually retracting into Atang’s mouth… He returned to his harmless fat golden tabby form, trotting back to Father Strala’s side, nuzzling affectionately.

Strala… no, this strange cat actually forced the two Descending Angels to retreat—scared them off!

Vasco was momentarily dazed; if not for his faith having been tempered once already, what transpired tonight might have deeply shaken him.

“Vasco! Did that invisible bastard get away?” Father Strala asked unhappily at this moment.

“Gone… gone,” Vasco replied instinctively.

Father Strala stomped in frustration, “It’s driving me mad! I’ll go and get a huge bucket of paint back, I just don’t believe it… By the way, Vasco, this big pit, can those little brat candidates of yours fill it? I have to open the doors for business tomorrow morning, right?”

Open the doors for business?

Looking at the seven to eight meters deep pit in front of him… Vasco couldn’t help but fall silent—does this old bastard really think he’s omnipotent?

But…

Facing a childhood playmate from the same village, Paladin Vasco seemed to feel a greater crisis of faith than he had during the day…

“What on earth is with this cat?” Vasco took a deep breath, asking with a serious face, “And Strala… are we enemies now? Strala, why did you do this? Do you really not know who you just dealt with?”

“Do? Do what?” Father Strala frowned, then coldly snorted, waving his sleeves and said, “Hmph! I’ve lived my life doing things the way I do things, why would I need to explain to someone else!”
