"In the main hall!"
Yun Feiyang rushed into the main hall and saw the Demon holding Hard hostage.
Douglas stood nearby, pointing his Scepter at the Demon.
Just as Yun Feiyang was about to approach, a barrier suddenly appeared, blocking his path.
"Damn it, another spell formation!"
The Demon turned to glance at him and cursed, "Damn mage, stop getting in my way!"
Hard cried out in panic, "Mr. Mage, save me! I'll do anything you ask!"
"Shut up! No one can save you today! Even if God himself came, it would be useless!"
"You're Steve, aren't you?"
"Hm?"
The Demon turned to look at Yun Feiyang.
"The Demon is just your disguise. You're using Transformation Magic, aren't you?"
"That's right!"
Steve simply dropped the act, dispelled his Transformation Magic, and turned into a handsome man in his thirties.
"Steve, it really is you. Let Hard go now!"
Steve sneered at Douglas. "Don't worry. It'll be your turn soon enough!"
As he spoke, he was about to kill Hard...
"Stop!"
The village chief walked over!
"It really is you, Steve. Why are you doing this? Have you gone mad?"
"Mad?"
Steve burst into laughter. "I did go mad, from the moment Kathy died!"
Yun Feiyang took the chance to ask, "What exactly happened back then? You don't mind telling us, do you?"
"Of course. Even if you hadn't asked, I would have exposed the truth and let you see this Church's filth, let you see these people's true faces!"
Douglas's expression darkened, but there was nothing he could do to stop him!
While Steve was distracted, Yun Feiyang quietly took out the Compass Key and pressed it against the barrier.
"What Priest, what saving the world? They wear holy robes, but what they do in secret makes them more like Demons than any Demon!"
Steve pointed at Douglas with hatred in his eyes. "Back then, Kathy came to the Church to pray, but this beast lured her in and raped her!"
"It wasn't just him. Everyone in the Church was involved. They took advantage of Kathy's trust in the Church and violated her one after another... Beasts! A pack of damned beasts!"
The village chief's face changed drastically as he demanded, "Is what he said true?"
Douglas merely snorted coldly, neither speaking nor answering!
"Speak! Why did you do it?"
Threatened as he was, Hard was nowhere near as composed as Douglas and immediately spilled everything.
"It was Kathy. She was just too beautiful. When Douglas stripped her naked and sent her before us, we couldn't resist, so..."
"I was wrong, I was wrong! Spare me! Douglas forced me to do everything. He's the real mastermind!"
Steve trembled from head to toe with rage. "Just because she was beautiful, you had to persecute her? Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"
The village chief stomped his feet in fury as well. "The world has gone to ruin! Gone to ruin! You will face retribution!"
"Retribution? Of course they'll face retribution!"
A murderous gleam flashed in Steve's eyes as he raised his staff high and drove it down!
The staff pierced from the top of Hard's head through his chin. Hard was dead beyond doubt.
Yun Feiyang glanced at the Compass Key, which was still unlocking the barrier, and asked, "What about Adeline? What did she do to Kathy?"
"What did she do? That woman was the biggest pervert of them all!"
Steve asked, "You saw that Secret Room, didn't you?"
"You mean..."
"That's right. Kathy was tortured into madness there by that woman. That's why I killed her there in that way!"
Yun Feiyang sighed. "A Church like this would be better off destroyed!"
"You think so too? Then are you still going to stop me?"
Yun Feiyang shook his head. "Be my guest. Even if you don't kill scum like this, I won't let them live."
"Wait!"
The village chief asked, "What about Parker? Why did you kill him?"
"Because he deserved to die!"
"Why? Did he do something too?"
Steve's face twisted viciously. "Because he saw Kathy naked back then, then mocked and harassed her!"
The village chief said incredulously, "Just for that? Back then, Kathy ran wildly through the streets. Most of the villagers saw her!"
"They deserved to die too!"
"You... really are insane!"
Yun Feiyang frowned. "Then what about Kathy? She was only traumatized back then. Why did she die? Did she really commit suicide?"
Suicide was only the village chief's claim. None of the villagers had witnessed it themselves back then, so it could not be taken as fact!
Combined with Steve's extreme way of thinking, Yun Feiyang had a bad feeling.
"No, she didn't kill herself. Back then, she kept telling me she was sorry, saying it wasn't her fault, begging for my forgiveness, but..."
Steve said crazily, "How could someone as perfect as her have such a stain on her! It was unforgivable! Unpardonable!"
"So you killed her?"
"Yes. Only death could wash away the filth on her. Only in death could she be that perfect Kathy again!"
Everyone present turned pale at those words!
A lunatic. This man was a true lunatic!
"Kathy didn't commit suicide. You were wrong too!"
Mira and the other two also came to Yun Feiyang's side.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go back?"
"No. I won't leave until I get something cleared up!"
Mira asked Steve, "What about my parents? Did their deaths have anything to do with you?"
"You are..."
After staring at Mira for a while, Steve suddenly realized. "So you're Strauss's girl!"
"You guessed right. Their deaths really did have something to do with me... No, I should say they were my lifesavers!"
"What do you mean? Explain yourself!"
Mira and the other two became anxious!
They had thought their parents had died in an accident, but there was another truth behind it. How could they not be anxious?
"There's no harm in telling you the truth. Consider it repayment for their kindness!"
Steve looked at Douglas and said, "Back then, I came to the Church for revenge, but I couldn't beat that old bastard. They chased me all the way to a cliff, and I jumped off with a slim hope of surviving."
Steve turned to Mira and the other two. "I was lucky. Your parents happened to be at the bottom of the cliff. They were unlucky. I landed right on them, and they became my cushion!"
"What? So that's what happened!"
"It was you who killed my parents!"
Mira pounded on the barrier and glared at Steve. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
Yun Feiyang had not expected the truth to be this bizarre. Mira's parents had died so unjustly!
"Although I'm very sorry to you, I was only able to escape by luck thanks to them. Then I learned my skills and came back for revenge!"
"Stop talking! I will kill you!"
Mira grabbed Yun Feiyang. "Get rid of this thing! I want to kill him, now!"
"Don't worry. He can't escape!"
Yun Feiyang looked at the Compass Key. Seeing that it still had not broken through the barrier, he frowned as well.
At that moment, Steve looked over and said disdainfully, "It's useless. I put a great deal of effort into this barrier. That little thing of yours can't break it in a short time."
So he had noticed Yun Feiyang's little move long ago. He simply could not be bothered to acknowledge it, which only showed how arrogant he was!
This was troublesome!
Just as Yun Feiyang was considering a countermeasure, Steve suddenly let out a scream!
Douglas had launched a sudden sneak attack. A beam of light burst from his staff, swallowed Steve, and slammed him against the barrier!
"Haha... Steve, Steve. You weren't my match back then, and you won't be now!"
"As long as I have this Light Scepter, no one can do anything to me!"
