“――――――！！！”

The moment Jenn's hand grasped the hilt of the Sword of the Shadow Moon, a sharp scream erupted out of thin air, and the body of the Shadow Demon Spider suddenly blurred, turning into a thick cloud of smoke that quickly wrapped around the body of the Sword of the Shadow Moon, and in the blink of an eye, the shadow that originally covered the sky had completely disappeared, replaced by a bright, as usual night sky.

"Whew......... It's finally done. ”

Looking at the Shadow Moon Sword in his hand, Jenn sighed under his breath and then said to himself. At this moment, he had regained his human disguise, because Jenn also knew very well that a conflict at the level of Shagut and the Shadow Demon Spider would definitely attract the attention of some powerful forces, in fact, he had already keenly felt the magical aura of peeping just now. That's why he took advantage of the fact that the Shadow Demon Spider was finished and returned to a human form, so that even if someone detected the demonic power, they would only think that it was the traces left by the Shadow Demon Spider, and it had nothing to do with him. It's a bit risky, but it's .........

Looking at the Shadow Moon Sword in his hand, Jenn felt that the risk was worth it.

At this moment, the Shadow Moon Sword in Jenn's hand no longer looked like a ghost fished out of a coal pile at the first auction, on the contrary, it looked so beautiful and elegant. The delicate and ornate hilt of the sword is inlaid with gems as pure and beautiful as the moon, and in the gauntlet is a girl's face with closed eyes. The snow-white blade was wrapped in a scabbard formed by the condensation of shadows, and even a cold light could be seen emerging from it from time to time.

This is the awakened Sword of the Shadow Moon, this is the true face of this pseudo-artifact. Jenn was sure if the sword appeared in its true form at the auction floor of the Fountain of Radiance. I'm afraid it's impossible to take down 30 million gold coins.

But now......... Since not a penny was spent, it doesn't matter.

Hold the hilt of the sword. Jenn could feel the power contained in the Shadow Moon Sword, which made him curl the corners of his mouth. He smiled smugly.

A qiē was just as he expected.

In fact, when Jenn made up his mind to interrupt and recapture the Shadow Moon Sword, a thought had already crossed his mind -- what would happen to the Shadow Demon Spider when he mastered the Shadow Moon Sword as a source of power to merge with it?

Jenn's specialization is "Manipulation", and when he holds a weapon with attributes, his specialization automatically switches to that domain. And this means that the moment Jenn holds the Sword of the Shadow Moon, he will become a being powerful enough to invoke and dominate the Shadow Plane.

So do it. What about the Shadow Demon Spider?

The reason why it was able to emerge from the main plane was because of the unique power of the Shadow Moon Sword, but now, after Jenn took over and mastered the power of the Shadow Moon Sword, what will become of the Shadow Demon Spider? Will it rebel? Or submissive? Or will it cut off the power and return to the shadow plane?

But even Jenn didn't expect that while he had taken the Sword of the Shadow Moon, he was surprised to find that the Shadow Demon Spider had not severed his connection with the Sword of the Shadow Moon. This may be because the Shadow Demon Spider has consumed quite a lot of power in its previous entanglement with Shagut, and it must use the power of the Shadow Moon Sword to maintain its existence--but now. The only lifeline became a rope around its neck, and eventually, under Jenn's manipulation, the Shadow Moon Sword completely absorbed the already exhausted Shadow Demon Spider. And become stronger with it.

Now Jenn could feel the uniqueness of this sword, he was not only able to use the original effect of the Shadow Moon Sword, but even the Shadow Demon Spider. Connect to a network of shadows to open the Shadow Channel. He then weaves a wide web to trap all his enemies in it, and he can even summon a shadow creature to fight for himself. But that didn't mean much to Jenn. Because he still trusts the summons of his dungeon more than the ghost creatures.

Even so, this pseudo-artifact was enough for Jenn, although it was not as good as his Seberas, but considering that the magic sword was not suitable for himself as a knight, then the Sword of the Shadow Moon would obviously be a better and more reasonable choice. With Nadia's report and previous records, those idiots wouldn't have any doubts about why they had this sword.

After getting down to business, Jenn had the leisure to care about the other people's situation.

Nadia was still unconscious, and it seemed that the screams of the Shadow Demon Spider had greatly stimulated her, but it was no wonder that even if she was a god-favored knight, she was still a human after all. Naturally, there is no way to compare with a perfect body vampire like Elise and an undead creature like Enoa, let alone Jenn, who is a high-level demon. However, after Enoa examined Nadia, she also told Jenn for the reason that made him a little crying and laughing, it turned out that this eldest lady was because of the excessive consumption of holy power before, and the guide was already very tired, so she was affected by the screaming sound of the shadow demon spider in a hurry, and other than that, she was not injured, as long as she woke up.

And after learning from Enoa that Nadia was okay and just needed to rest, Jenn was relieved. Then he gave Elise the task of looking after Nadia, and he threw ten carrots with Enoa to investigate the inside of the city before him—but there was nothing to investigate.

The battle between Shagut and the Shadow Demon Spider almost ruined the entire Kassandra, especially the inner city, and it can be seen from the wreckage that these unlucky people were directly implicated in it before they even had time to react, and under the crushing of Shagut and the Shadow Demon Spider, the originally orderly inner city has completely turned into a pile of ruins. As for the evidence, not to mention anything, Jenn has no interest in doing any archaeological excavation here.

As for the heretics in the inner city, all of them were naturally dead, and after examining the corpses, Jenn found that most of them died from the previous biological attacks of the shadow plane, and of course, a few relied on their strength to survive to the end, and then were crushed to death by Shagut...... That's what you wanted.

If anything, they found a church in the inner city that had barely survived, providing some evidence of the Mother of Chaos' meddling and exploiting the plague. The desecrated altar, the scattered fragments of human limbs, and the crooked and dead believers made Nadia turn blue when she woke up. Although it is not clear the ins and outs. However, it can be seen that many of them were originally followers of the sun god Amunla. But now, they have thrown themselves into evil and become loyal lackeys of the ancient evil gods.

"Why is this happening? Mr. Jenn? ”

Looking at the cold and stiff body of the old bishop lying on the ground in front of her, Nadia couldn't hide her doubts and sadness, if those dead believers were just a vague concept in her eyes, then the old bishop in front of her was completely different to Nadia, she thought that this old man, Lord Bishop Anton, was one of the most devout believers in the church of the sun god Amunla. Nadia had listened to his teachings during her study tour and had a lot of respect for the old man. But now, he was transformed into an equally cold corpse lying on the cold altar.

Although Nadia tried to convince herself that the old bishop had been captured and mutilated by those hateful cultists. But reason and reality told her that the old man in front of her was one of the members of the Order of the Mother of Chaos—maybe even one of the senior members.

Why, why did even a devout believer like Bishop Anton fall?

"Because human nature is selfish."

Jenn wasn't as sad as Nadia, and when he heard Nadia speak, he glanced at the paladin girl with a sad look on her face. Then he spoke.

"You know, what everybody does, at the end of the day, is for themselves. If they find that the gods are not able to give them what they want, then they will abandon the gods. To seek those beings that can satisfy them mentally and physically. Maybe it's incredible to you, but that's the reality. ”

"How could it be ...............?"

Hearing Jenn's words, Nadia's face turned a little pale. She opened her mouth to refute Jenn's words. But looking at the smashed icon of the sun god Amunla, she couldn't say anything.

"What's so strange about that? Kassandra was surrounded by the plague. And if the cultists' magic can't banish and cure the plague, how long can you expect the craftsmen, peasants, and ordinary citizens to hold out? They believe in gods because they can help them solve some unsolvable problems, but if the gods can't help them solve their problems, then they will be replaced. Think about it, if you are a devout believer and your family is infected with the plague, but your gods are helpless about it. At this time, someone tells you that if you change your faith, then your family will survive, so what choice will you make? ”

"This ......... But ..............."

In the face of Jenn's inquiry, Nadia didn't know what to say for a while.

"But......... But mortals are favored by God........."

"As you yourself said, mortals believe in gods because they are favored by the gods. Think of the poor children in the monastery, what gods do you think they would worship? ”

Hearing this, Nadia was completely speechless, the outcasts of the monastery were a thorn in her heart, and those children were full of hatred and indifferent contempt for the gods. But can Nadia say they're wrong? At least Nadia herself didn't think so, but she didn't really agree with Jenn's words, because in the church, Nadia had seen many ordinary people who believed in the faith, most of them were poor, but even so, their faith was still strong and pure. Nadia doesn't think that there is naked lust and dealings hidden in this belief.

But looking at the old bishop in the pagan robe in front of her, Nadia really didn't have the courage to refute Jenn's words, the only thing she could do now was to comfort herself, maybe the old bishop in front of her was not degenerate, but he was originally a member of the Order of the Mother of Chaos, he was just an evil person who hid his identity in the church to deceive everyone.

But...............

Although Nadia tried desperately to convince herself, a question still uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.

If this is the case, then why didn't the great Amun-la find him? Doesn't it mean that under the light of the sun god Amunla, every evil will disappear into nothingness? If this is the case, how could a wicked man with evil thoughts be able to serve as the sacrificial bishop of Amunrah for so many years?

Didn't Amun-la also perceive the evil being?

The thought startled Nadia, who hurriedly shook her head, desperately trying to put this irreverent thought behind her. How is this possible? The gods are omniscient, and no evil can escape their eyes, and they must have just woken up and not been conscious enough to have such thoughts, yes, they must be like this.........

Nadia tried desperately to persuade herself, while trying to calm down, but she didn't notice at all that Jenn was staring at her with a playful gaze at the moment, and under the reflection of the glasses, Jenn's eyes flashed a strange cold light.

What a simple and lovely knight. (To be continued......)
