"Scram—"

Charlotte's voice wasn't loud. In fact, like when Sebastian had tried to probe her memories before, it was just a subconscious outburst from someone who liked to pry but hated being pried upon.

Caught off guard, it was somewhat awkward, like a little cat hissing at a stranger who barged into the room.

If you dared to kick the table, the cat might just run away with a swoosh.

But in the ears of Sebastian and the Grand Knight, it sounded entirely different.

Sebastian felt as if, at the moment when his consciousness was about to be shredded by the Spiritual Force Field, along with the always cold and majestic reprimand from the Lady of the Night, a vast and majestic aura suddenly surged from the depths of his consciousness.

That voice and aura carried an irresistible will, like a rushing torrent, shattering the Spiritual Force Field that enveloped him as if it were fragile wood.

He instantly remembered the first time he had offended the Lady of the Night so recklessly in reality.

At the Duke's mansion, even with his spiritual guard, he had suffered soul damage directly under the Lady of the Night's reprimand.

Every time he thought of it afterward, Sebastian felt a shiver of fear.

And now, that familiar feeling had returned!

However, unlike before, this time he wasn't the center of the storm but rather the one protected by that terrifying power.

Life is so unpredictable.

This time, the center of the storm was the Grand Knight.

Sebastian could clearly sense that the Lady of the Night's reprimand was even more terrifying than before. Just hearing the echoing voice made his soul tremble.

This made him feel a hint of relief.

Obviously... the Lady of the Night had held back when SHE reprimanded him before.

Now, what the Grand Knight felt was the true reprimand from the Ancient Gods!

And the chance to follow such a powerful God, and finally gain their approval, made Sebastian feel extremely excited.

After all, who wouldn't want their master to be even stronger?

The stronger the Lady of the Night becomes, the more likely he is to follow her in the future and successfully embark on a path he never imagined!

But the Grand Knight's feelings were completely different.

At this moment, this leader of Borde's Inquisition had only horror left in his heart.

In his perception, that reprimand, as if originating from ancient times, was like a thunderclap beside his ear, carrying unparalleled momentum and awe-inspiring might!

His consciousness suddenly exploded, and the illusion of the castle and throne shattered directly. In his mind, there seemed to be only a pair of reddish-golden eyes left.

Those reddish-golden eyes looked at him calmly.

In the echoing thunder-like voice, he only felt wave after wave of terrifying mental tsunami crashing towards his soul...

In the reprimand, the holy symbol protecting his soul didn't last for even a second, flashing once before completely breaking down.

His divine power, which had shrouded him in protection since entering the battle, was torn apart like paper.

And all these attacks were just the aftermath of that one "Scram."

Under the assault on his soul, the Grand Knight's mental world was in chaos.

His fully open Spiritual Force Field was shattered as if a fragile wooden sail had struck an iceberg!

And his soul, which had carried a faint holy light, was torn apart like a torn sack, leaking everywhere and about to collapse.

He couldn't help but let out a scream of agony, directly blasted out by the substantial spiritual impact as he hurtled backward, blood spewing out as he flew more than ten meters.

Collapsed on the ground, the Grand Knight felt as if his brain was about to explode, bleeding from all orifices, his breath as feeble as a thread.

This extraordinary being of the third tier Blazing Sun was actually severely injured.

And his aura plummeted in an instant...

The Spiritual Force Field is the symbol of the third-tier Blazing Sun.

When the Spiritual Force Field is destroyed, the extraordinary being naturally falls in rank.

Seeing the Grand Knight lying on the ground, unable to get up, Sebastian was stunned.

The Judgment Knights and Judgment Priests in the distance were also stunned.

Even the instigator, Charlotte, was equally stunned.

How could she have directly made a Blazing Sun spit blood with just a shout in her consciousness?

But soon, she noticed that the time limit for her True Ancestor's Liberation had been reduced by one second...

Charlotte instantly understood.

Her shout just now inadvertently activated the power of True Ancestor's Liberation.

Wow... Is this new ability so powerful?

Charlotte clicked her tongue secretly and immediately listed the research of True Ancestor's Liberation as her top priority after saving Sebastian.

At the other end, Sebastian gradually regained his senses from the shock.

He breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his back, elegantly sipped from the glass of wine in his hand, and then, like the archvillain in fiction, smiled slightly in imitation of Charlotte's tone from before.

"Your Excellency Grand Knight, you really look pathetic now."

Charlotte: ...

And only at this moment did the Grand Knight gradually come to his senses.

His face was pale, his eyes were filled with tears of blood, and he looked at Sebastian with horror and fear in his voice, hoarse and terrified.

"Evil God! It's an Evil God!"

"You... you actually harbor an Evil God in your consciousness!"

"Cough, cough, cough... you evil elf, you... actually colluded with an Evil God!"

Hearing the Grand Knight's exclamation, Charlotte, who was observing in secret, narrowed her eyes.

Although she, whose power all came from the Gospel of Blood, didn't consider herself an Evil God, if her identity were discovered by the Holy Court, that would be troublesome.

Even though the Grand Knight hadn't recognized her identity, with her current relationship with Rose Society and Castell, it was still a potential hazard.

Charlotte had to admit, at this moment, she harbored murderous intent.

For her safety, probably the life of the Grand Knight... couldn't be spared!

But soon she became suspicious.

The Grand Knight was a devout believer in the Holy Court, worshiping the God Harald.

According to the scriptures, when devout believers die, their souls will return to the Kingdom of the Gods.

So... if the Grand Knight, a devout believer, died, would her existence be noticed by the Gods?

Charlotte immediately became cautious.

It's not impossible!

So... to be more careful, she can't let the Grand Knight's soul return to the Kingdom of the Gods.

Charlotte immediately had an idea: to order Sebastian to directly obliterate the Grand Knight's soul!

However, she didn't give the order in the end.

Because when she had this idea, Sebastian seemed to be influenced by some strange force, and he also thought of it in his mind, and the questions he was thinking about were exactly the same as Charlotte's.

He squinted his eyes, carefully looking at the Grand Knight, then suddenly chuckled, his expression becoming extremely dangerous.

"Your Excellency Grand Knight, I didn't intend to be your enemy."

"Unfortunately, you seem to know too much."

"Now... I really have to kill the clergy of the Holy Court."

After saying that, Sebastian muttered a spell, and with a slight grip of his hands in the void, another new flame sword was drawn out from the void by him.

However, unlike the previous flame sword, this sword's flames were black, exuding a detestable aura that even made Charlotte frown.

Seeing that black flame sword, the Grand Knight was slightly stunned, then fell into anger, with a hint of fear hidden in his anger.

"The Dark Knight's Blasphemous Sword?"

"You... you actually want to shatter my soul!"
