This man.
Is he Demon Lucifer reincarnated?
Calvin stared blankly at Xian Zong, clutching his trembling left hand to his lower abdomen.
The Radiant One, Son of the Priest, Calvin had experienced the greatest joys and sorrows of his life these past three days.
The greatest sorrow was his fall from grace, being abandoned by the people, disappointing his followers, and even having the Saintess snatched away by the Child of Curse. His promotion to Second-tier Sorcerer was also delayed, marking a true low point in his life.
But fortunately, there was also great joy—he was pregnant!
Calvin could feel that the life force in his abdomen had increased by one.
Those two filthy creatures from the Void, though only the size of embryos, squirmed against each other, their tiny hearts beating.
And it was a double blessing.
"I'm going to. Kill you."
Calvin gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
He swore he would grind this guy into ashes, torture him in the most brutal way, Pull out his teeth, skin him alive, and use the interrogation techniques for top-tier heretics to let this guy truly taste the craftsmanship of a Saint like himself!
Over the years, he had interrogated quite a few ordinary people.
Through his "friendly" interrogations, every suspected Esoteric Cultist, every Child of Darkness, had confessed and become an Esoteric Cultist. So, Calvin was very confident in his skills.
He vowed to make the other's screams echo through the heavens!
"I'm going to kill you!!!"
Ansu stared at him calmly, not a trace of fear on his face. He simply calmly extended an index finger and beckoned to Calvin: "Come here."
Calvin felt like his head was about to explode from anger.
He brandished his staff and charged forward with his large belly, while Xian Zong turned and ran without the slightest hesitation!
This scoundrel showed no noble character of respecting the old, the weak, or the pregnant, directly engaging in a hundred-meter sprint with a pregnant man.
And so, on the desolate plains, under the Blood Moon, a peculiar scene unfolded:
A young man with a righteous and stern appearance, wearing a winter school uniform, ran confidently and proudly across the plain. His eyes were confident, his face calm, as if he were an athlete pursuing his youthful dreams at the school sports meet.
Behind the athletic young man trailed a heavily pregnant man, whose belly was the size of two tires, his expression pained and constipated, gasping for breath after every two steps.
But despite his condition, he was determined and unyielding, possessing a beauty akin to the Paralympics—this was the spirit of an athlete.
Never give up, never abandon.
Clearly, both contestants performed at their peak, showcasing their style, and even their fairness;
The slight regret was that Calvin's 40% slow debuff, which exceeded the Wind Spirit's 30% speed buff, resulted in him being slower than usual.
Meanwhile, Brother Xian Zong's physical fitness had far surpassed his previous level after receiving the Blessings and Baptism from the Mother Goddess of Life these past few days.
When a scholar has the physical prowess of an athlete, they are invincible—he soon left Calvin far behind.
But Calvin knew this was only temporary.
The slow debuff would only last for ten minutes, while his Wind Spirit's buff lasted for fifteen minutes. As long as he persisted and didn't lose sight of his target, he would catch up to this kid and pierce him with his final Spear of Light.
More importantly, the other Saints were nearby.
There were twenty Saints in total, each a sorcerer of Second-tier or higher. And the captain of the Sacred Knights, Agnes, that high-EQ Female Knight, was even close to Fourth-tier Sorcerer in strength!
They could easily hunt down this heretic on the spot!
Every Saint involved in the Witch Hunt carried a Demonic Artifact that shared their location.
If anyone went missing, the Saints would quickly find them, within ten minutes at most.
This was Calvin's reliance, his hidden trump card.
This heretic named Xian Zong would eventually pay the price for his arrogant behavior!
Through the location-sharing Demonic Artifact, Calvin could feel the other Saints rapidly approaching. The Saints, riding horses, were much faster than the two of them running.
He could already hear the faint sound of hooves in the distance.
Moreover, eight minutes had already passed, and the effect of the Gift of the Gods was about to wear off.
Perhaps sensing his fate, or perhaps hearing the approaching Sacred Knights, Ansu, who had been running ahead, slowly stopped. Perhaps he had given up resisting.
This person was at the end of his rope.
Calvin conjured a Holy Spear in his hand and slowly approached Ansu.
He had never wanted to kill someone so badly, never wanted to grind someone into ashes so much.
And now, it was all within reach.
The Holy Knights appeared at the edge of his vision. Calvin could already see Agnes leading them, clad in snow-white armor. She shouted to him from afar, "Calvin!"
Calvin didn't respond. He only wanted to kill the person in front of him with his own hands. He had already clenched the Holy Spear, activated his Magic Points, and was about to pierce directly through the person's back.
"Your teammate has arrived," Ansu turned his head and said calmly, "Were you waiting for your teammate?"
I'm waiting for my teammate, what are you waiting for?
Calvin's lips split into a smile, and the Holy Spear in his hand flew straight out, piercing the air with immense power, charging towards Ansu. At the same time, Ansu moved, their actions almost simultaneous.
"All Things Grow," Ansu whispered.
Before the Holy Spear could touch Ansu's body, Enya, hidden in the shadows, struck it down.
Seeing his attack foiled, Calvin was not discouraged.
He just needed to stall for a dozen seconds until his Sacred Knight teammate arrived.
Unexpectedly, a calm smile appeared on Ansu's usually placid face, "I was also waiting for your teammate."
"This is the moment I've been waiting for."
Only then did Calvin notice that Ansu had cast another blessing spell on him.
And this spell was not unfamiliar to him.
It was the purest, and most common, Holy Light Magic.
[All Things Grow]
[Blessing Magic]
[Low-tier]
[Magic Points Cost: 2 (originally 1)]
[Magic Effect: The Holy Light Goddess blesses all living beings. Those affected by this spell will age by half a year, their physical state will change to reflect half a year later, lasting for one minute.]
[Magic Description: Child, may the Holy Light shine upon your growth!]
Since it was a blessing spell, the amulet still didn't react.
Enveloped by divine Light, Calvin still didn't understand what was happening—until Ansu cast another spell on him.
Calvin realized he had misunderstood something.
That blessing spell wasn't cast on him, but on the beings inside his belly, the twins, those evil Void creatures.
Because the two children were in the same placenta, All Things Grow could affect both simultaneously.
What was Xian Zong trying to do?
Calvin vaguely guessed Brother Xian Zong's intentions, but he couldn't believe it, couldn't face it, and didn't have the courage to believe or face it!
He lacked the courage to face that reality.
All Things Grow could make a creature age by half a year, so two casts would be a full year.
And the gestation period for Void creatures was exactly one year.
Soon, Calvin realized an even more terrifying fact.
He was male.
Where were they supposed to come out from?
Half a second later.
"Hoo hoo ah ah ah ah--!!!!"
Calvin's wails echoed across the plain, reaching the heavens.
He was in labor.
It was a pair of Dragon-Phoenix Twins.
There will be another chapter later, updated around 11:30.
