Chapter 55: Church Of Light

[Using the Absolute Compass, you commanded, "Find me the Church of Light."]

[Although there was Scarlet to guide you and Jade, you still decided to make use of the compass since it was far more reliable.]

[Not that you didn’t trust Scarlet. But you trusted the compass’s guidance more than Scarlet’s sense of direction.]

[If there was an artifact that confused distance and directions and it was used against her, then the three of you will be lost.]

[However, the compass was truly absolute. Even those so-called "Ghost Walls" from horror novels and movies would be easily ignored by the compass, as it will truly point to the correct direction where the target lies.]

[Scarlet was informed about the power of the Absolute Compass by Jade, so she didn’t mind. Compared to her guidance, the compass was indeed more reliable.]

[With the compass leading you three, you soon saw a town nearly surrounded by a sea of trees. At the north side of it, there was a river which the townspeople used to wash clothes.]

[Currently, you, Jade, and Scarlet are flying in the air. You and Jade relied on blood manipulation to conjure Blood Wings to fly, while Scarlet’s flight method was quite peculiar.]

[Before, under you and Jade’s strange gaze, Scarlet had reached into her picnic basket and taken out a damn jetpack!]

[It was a steampunk-looking jetpack, and you couldn’t understand why a clearly medieval era fairy tale world has such technology.]

[However, after remembering a certain ninja anime having refrigerators, electricity, and even cloning technology despite being held in a feudal era, you no longer question it.]

[You just assumed that it wouldn’t be unusual to encounter a station world with a skewed technology tree like this one.]

[Staying in the sky and relying on the advantage of a bird’s eye view, the three of you observed the scene below.]

[Since Scarlet was already a train occupant and has access to the train screen system, she also has her status screen and can learn skills using skill scrolls.]

[The three of you weren’t seen and detected due to Scarlet also learning the Presence Concealment skill.]

[Looking below, you all saw the townspeople mostly staying inside their houses. The streets were filled with hunters, the clergy, and believers of the Light God.]

[Seeing them, Scarlet spoke, "They should be the next batch of hunters sent to assist in pursuing me."]

[Observing the town’s layout from above, Jade pointed her index finger at a certain location and gritted her teeth in anger, "They even prepared your execution ground. They have already found a way to die!"]

[You looked in the direction where Jade was pointing her index finger.]

[The Church of Light was situated at the center of the town, but slightly on the southern side.]

[The true center was the town plaza, which was repurposed by the hunters and the clergy as an execution ground for heretics, witches, and monsters.]

[At the execution ground, there was even a wooden stake ready with a pile of burnable materials, called a pyre, prepared by the clergy.]

[You started using your Hint Prompt talent on them to discern their strength.]

[However, what you saw made you shake your head in disappointment. "They’re much weaker than I expected. The hunters and clergymen are mostly at Iron rank with a few at Initial Bronze rank."]

["The strongest is the archpriest of the Church of Light, who is at Peak Bronze. However, it’s mostly him relying on an enshrined artifact related to the Light God."]

[Seeing that they were this weak, you assured Jade and Scarlet, "Leave this to me, I’ll show you the prowess of a High Human."]

[You flew down and headed to the Church of Light, no longer concealing your figure.]

[Since you canceled your Presence Concealment skill, the hunters, clergymen, and believers all saw you descending towards them.]

[However, before the clergy could start cursing and branding you as a monster, you exerted the pressure of a High Human towards these mere mortal humans.]

[In an instant, all of them started kneeling as if a huge pressure weighed on their entire bodies.]

[Standing in the air tens of meters above the Church of Light, you were like a Sword of Damocles above their head!]

[They wanted to lift their heads and defy you, but their flesh was weak!]

[Normally, the bloodline pressure of your High Human Bloodline wasn’t this potent.]

[However, who told these people to be so weak? The gap between your ranks and power was quite large, so the bloodline pressure was magnified.]

[Especially those at Initial Iron, Mid Iron, and Late Iron ranks. They had already passed out.]

[Those at Peak Iron-rank were already lying on the ground, not being able to lift a single finger. Although they were still conscious, they might as well passed out with how useless they became.]

[Only those at Bronze-rank managed to kneel towards you, but even then, they still couldn’t lift their head to look at you.]

[Much to their humiliation, your arrogant and mocking voice resounded throughout the town, "Is this all the Hunter Coalition and Church of Light amounted to?"]

["I pity the Light God for having such weak believers. To have such weak believers, he must be a trash god as well!"] 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

[Your insult towards the Light God might have only affected a few of the hunters, but all the clergymen who still retained consciousness had bloodshot eyes.]

[If looks could kill, they were still too weak to kill you even with their gaze.]

[Under their impotent rage and helplessness, a huge hand made out of blood appeared and smashed down the Church of Light.]

[After the Church of Light was smashed into pieces, you weren’t satisfied yet and vented Scarlet’s anger in her stead, crushing the debris of the church into dust.]

[Afterwards, you discovered that there was a silver chest inside the Church of Light.]

[Treasure chests were only visible to Train Conductors and Train Occupants, generated by the World Will for them.]

[The inhabitants of the station world couldn’t see the treasure chest, so you stored the silver chest in your system inventory.]

[Just as you were about to start killing the clergymen, your Hint Prompt interrupted you.]

{Hint Prompt: Staining the altar inside the Church of Light’s underground room with the blood of more than a hundred fanatical believers will summon the Light God’s avatar.}
