Brother Xian Zong is Truly a Great Saint

Research on void creatures has always been scarce in the Naraka academic circles, with only scattered records in literature, which only describe them as incredibly evil and blasphemous beings.

However, Ansu knew that void creatures would devour their mothers after birth.

They would gnaw on their mothers to obtain nourishment.

For these newly born void moths, their mother was naturally Calvin.

This was why this method could be used to kill enemies.

Agnes watched the scene before her with a grim expression:

Under the dim and oppressive Blood Moon, the two bizarrely shaped, blasphemous monsters pounced on Calvin, opening thousands of their mouths.

Countless tiny teeth pierced Calvin's flesh, and blood and flesh instantly flew everywhere.

What was most disturbing was that the moths let out childish voices, repeatedly calling out "Mama," which sent shivers down Agnes's spine.

It seemed Calvin had truly fallen.

In just a moment, the void moths had devoured most of Calvin's flesh and bones. Their bodies had grown a full size larger as they flapped their wings and left the bloody, mangled corpse.

It was clear that these two void moths were not full.

They turned their bodies, their compound eyes landing on this squad of Holy Knights, and more specifically, on the Third-tier Saint, Agnes.

Their taste was similar to the Mother Goddess of Life, with an extreme liking for beings with high affinity for darkness or high affinity for light.

This squad of Holy Knights, consisting of twenty Second-tier Saints and one Third-tier Saint, was enough for them to feast on.

Sensing the void moths' gaze, Agnes's hair stood on end.

Ansu quietly observed the scene before him.

Things were indeed developing as he had predicted.

The void moths' lifespan was determined by the effect of All Things Grow. The blessing effect of All Things Grow only lasted for one minute.

After one minute, these void moths would die.

To make the best use of them, he had to wait until Calvin's teammates arrived before detonating the bombs inside Calvin's belly.

This was a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

He had deliberately provoked Calvin and been chased by him all along to leave evidence and maintain an image of innocence.

This way, he could shift all the blame to Calvin and also summon the void moths.

Everything was done to absolve himself.

So, what Ansu said earlier was correct; he was also waiting for Calvin's teammates.

Of course, two void moths with a lifespan of only one minute were far from enough to wipe out this entire team.

Perhaps if Enya had joined the fight, they could have been annihilated.

But for Ansu, it was possible, but unnecessary.

The annihilation of an entire squad of Holy Knights would alert the Inquisitors of Heresy at headquarters.

Rather than killing them, Ansu had a better plan.

A plan that would allow him to gain more benefits.

The dark and heavy Blood Moon covered the plain, dyeing the desolate wilderness an exceptionally bloody red; the male void moth let out a piercing shriek and swooped directly towards the Knights Order.

"Protection!"

Agnes commanded decisively.

The twenty Saints immediately began chanting. The magic they used was Holy Light Protection, a low-tier defensive spell.

Thick Holy Light overlapped and intertwined, forming complex and magnificent shapes, layer upon layer. The twenty Saints formed twenty layers of Holy Light.

The male void moth charged down and violently collided with the Holy Light shield. As a Fourth-tier void creature, it broke through one layer with just a single impact.

The female void moth followed closely behind, pouncing after its brother.

Their small, sharp, blasphemous teeth gnawed at the Holy Light, making creaking sounds. In just a few seconds, five layers of the Holy Light shield had been shattered!

Agnes's expression was grave, and cold sweat streamed down her face.

"Prepare Holy Arrows."

A magnificent arc formed into a brilliant golden longbow. Agnes took the Holy Light arrow from her subordinate attendant, drew the bow, and nocked the arrow.

She drew it to its limit, and the arrow instantly shot out, splitting the darkness of the world, leaving only a beam of silver light.

Mid-tier magic, Agni's Arrow, consumed four magic points.

However, the arrow only touched the void moth's outer skin before being corroded and repelled, leaving behind only a bloodstain.

Ten Saints also shot their arrows. Instantly, Holy Light rained down like a fierce storm, striking the void moths and cutting open wounds. Blood flowed profusely for a time.

But this did not kill the void moths; on the contrary, it enraged them.

They frantically slammed against the Holy Shields, and layer after layer of Holy Light was broken.

Only fifteen layers of Holy Shields remained, struggling to hold on.

Agnes's heart pounded violently, her hands clenched tightly around her bow and arrow in nervousness and unease.

It was as if she had returned to that day, the day she faced a high-tier demon.

The day her squad was nearly wiped out.

Ansu watched the battle with calm indifference.

It seemed the Holy See was completely at a disadvantage.

But in reality, the Void Moths were about to disappear.

From the moment they were born, Ansu had been timing them with the pocket watch he carried. They had already existed for forty-five seconds, with only fifteen seconds left.

Even if the holy shield was broken, it would at most injure one or two Third-tier Saints.

Ultimately, the magic's tier was too low. [Gift of the Mother Goddess of Life], the core of the combo skill, was only Mid-tier Magic. If it could be raised to High-tier or above, it could summon creatures more powerful than Void Moths.

But Ansu was already very satisfied.

Since the battle began, he had used two Mother Goddess's Gifts and two All Things Grows, consuming a total of only eight Magic Points.

Eight Magic Points to achieve such results—it was indeed close to perfect.

However, this set of skills still had a flaw: after killing the mother creature, they would attack everyone present indiscriminately.

But that wasn't a problem anymore; there were plenty of ways to avoid it.

Now, Ansu had to consider how to explain the sudden death of the Void Moths in a dozen seconds.

According to Ansu's previous explanation, the Void Moths were blasphemous creatures summoned through a forbidden ritual by Calvin, who sacrificed his own life—this was also a common cult sacrifice.

Everyone knew that with this type of summoning method, the summoned creatures would not die naturally.

This would arouse suspicion.

But Ansu had already thought of the perfect solution.

He glanced at his pocket watch.

Ten seconds left.

It was almost time.

Then, the two Void Moths let out frenzied shrieks and broke through another barrier.

Agnes broke out in a cold sweat. She understood that even if these two beasts were killed in the end, her team would suffer heavy losses.

She couldn't help but think of other escape methods, how to break free, and how to preserve her subordinates to the greatest extent possible.

But suddenly, the two Void Moths that were devouring the Holy Light stopped.

Their antennae twitched slightly, as if sensing something. They abandoned their attack, flapped their wings, and turned in one direction.

Agnes and the other Third-tier Saints followed the direction of the Void Moths and could hardly believe their eyes.

They saw the unfamiliar youth walking towards them, completely unguarded.

It was that youth who had attracted the Void Moths' attention!

They could sense the Dark Element contained within Ansu.

Although the Void Moths had simple intelligence, they could make simple distinctions: on one side were tough, unappetizing meat cans wrapped in tin foil; although numerous, they were troublesome and couldn't satisfy hunger. On the other side was a delicious, unpackaged little dessert.

If the delicious little dessert stayed still, they would ignore it, but the little dessert had actually come to them!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Void Moths rose into the air and lunged straight at Ansu.

Ten seconds left, Ansu thought silently.
