The Divine Statue Is Mine!

"By the Storm Emperor, thank you for your help."

"I am an official of the Finance Ministry. I have always been loyal to the Emperor Empire's Fist. I never expected that these damned rebels would cause such a disturbance. They have chilled the heart of the Empire's Fist. He has sacrificed so much for the Empire..."

The official said this, Levi thought to himself, "Perfect."

People in the Finance Ministry should know how to get to Mai Ka's residence.

He ran all the way from the Middle City District to the Inner City, but unexpectedly encountered the assassins of the Voice of the Deathbird on the way. Enemies meeting again, their eyes were filled with hatred.

In Levi's eyes, the so-called Gold-Rank Assassin was nothing special.

Too weak! "I need to find Minister Mai Ka now to avoid being killed by the rebels. Do you want to come with me?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The high-ranking official was now seriously injured, and grabbing Levi was like grasping at his last straw.

"Alright, let's go."

Soon, led by the official, Levi arrived at the compound of residences of the Finance Ministry and other officials, where he killed some rebels who wanted to attack Levi.

This earned Levi a deep trust from the official.

"Your Excellency, this way. I know a shortcut that will get you to Lord Mai Ka's residence the fastest, but Lord Mai Ka is probably taking refuge outside and may not be at his residence," the official said.

Having a guide made things much easier, Levi soon arrived at Mai Ka's mansion.

"Sir, I'll wait for you outside. Please go inside and look for me."

The official was clearly worried that the mansion had been taken over by the rebels and dared not go in.

However, without Levi's protection, he dared not go to his residence alone. The power structure of the Holy City was about to undergo a major reshuffle, and he had to go home to take out his savings accumulated over the years and run away. He would make plans after the political situation stabilized. As an official of the Finance Ministry, he had no way to suppress the rebellion.

Levi was naturally unaware of this man's ulterior motives; he simply needed him to lead the way. He stretched out his hands and placed them on the high wall of the Mai Ka mansion.

Mai Ka's mansion was very large; with Levi's current Intermediate Vibration Sense, he could only sense a small part of the area.

"There are people inside, and it seems quite chaotic," Levi thought to himself.

"You wait here for me, I'll go find Lord Mai Ka."

Levi ran to the other side of the wall, used the grappling hook to climb onto the wall, and then gently fell down.

He was on high alert, with his Intermediate Vibration Sense fully activated. No movement within a twenty-meter radius could escape Levi's keen senses.

Levi wore the Deathbird Mask so that even if he was discovered, the blame would Deathbird, and the Empire's Fist would definitely hunt down Deathbird's people.

The Mai Ka mansion is very large, occupying probably hundreds of acres of land in this prime Inner City, and it is extremely luxurious.

Along the way, signs of fighting could be seen everywhere, indicating that the rebels had already arrived. Levi quickened his pace, fearing that the Ambergris Divine Statue would be snatched away by the rebels first.

"According to the customs of the world's nobles, Divine Statue are most likely placed in churches and used for prayers every morning."

Inside Mai Ka's mansion was a private chapel. Levi went there first and saw a priest in Purple-Blue Divine Robe lying on the ground, already dead.

Inside the church, the sounds of fighting could be heard.

After getting closer, Levi sensed that there were four people inside.

There were no warning signs from the Spider Sense, and from Levi's perception, there were no powerful figures of the level of Great Knight inside.

He acted decisively and went to the window. Sure enough, he saw two groups of people fighting inside. One group was probably a rebel leader fighting against the guardians of Mai Ka's mansion.

"They are all Knight, and even the weakest of them are Mid-Rank Knight."

Finally, in front of the church, Levi saw a giant oil painting depicting a turbulent sea with dark clouds looming overhead, its surface turbulent and swirling with purple-blue lightning—a scene of an apocalyptic storm.

Between heaven and earth, a towering figure stands on the sea, surrounded by storms and clouds. He wears a crown and has eight ancient war drums arranged in a circle behind him.

This is a portrait of the Storm Emperor, a deity worshipped by the Tuva Empire, who is said to have a poor relationship with the Heavenly Father.

There is a small Divine Statue of a deity placed on the shrine below.

It is a miniature version of the Storm Emperor Divine Statue.

Even from this distance, Levi could smell the refreshing Ambergris.

"That's right, that person didn't lie to me."

Without hesitation, Levi made his move.

The two groups of people who were locked in combat clearly did not expect someone to suddenly break in.

After the man entered, he immediately ran to the shrine, grabbed the Ambergris statue, and started running.

They also noticed the Deathbird Mask Levi was wearing.

"Who are you? Stop!"

Both the rebels and the guards attacked Levi without prior agreement.

This is the most valuable thing in this church. They risked their lives to take it, and now it has been taken by a third party.

"Those who block my way shall die!" Levi roared, drawing his longsword!

Golden Cross Slash! The Seed of Life within his body —the Black Snake, the Sea Siren, the Giant Bear, the Giant Rhinoceros, the Wild Bull, and others—roared simultaneously, unleashing terrifying power!

Click.

Like Demon King descending, Levi cleaved a Mid-Rank Knight in two, armor and all, with a single sword strike.

This terrified the three people present.

What kind of monster is this? It killed a Mid-Rank Knight so easily and pierced through his armor. Could it be Great Knight?

Voice of the Deathbird send two Great Knight over?

"Brothers of the Voice of the Deathbird, what do you want? We didn't hire you to rob us," said one of the surviving rebel Knight.

Levi didn't waste any words. He had already given these people a chance to live. He didn't want to waste too much time here, after all, this was the Inner City, full of experts, and the Empire's Fist or other Great Knight could appear here at any time.

But these people didn't know what was good for them, so he had no choice but to kill them!

Levi gradually grew taller and more robust, no longer concealing his physique.

A surge of power swept in, and Levi began a one-sided massacre.

Among these people, there are Mid-Rank Knight and High-Rank Knight.

In Levi's eyes, there was no difference.

"Die!" Taking advantage of the moment when Levi was fighting with the others, one of the guards leaped high into the air, over the two men, and slashed at Levi's face.

Levi, gripping Frostmourne in his right hand, blocked the man's slash. His left hand rapidly formed hand seals as he chanted incantations, then he unleashed a palm strike towards the man's face! Boom! A torrent of blazing flames swept out!

The high temperature scorches the air, causing the void to distort.

The next moment, amidst endless agony, the man's head was charred by the intense heat of Levi's Flame Stream Seal. He was not completely dead yet, but the unbearable pain made him wish he were dead.

"Witchcraft? Who are you?" The others panicked and began to flee, but all of them eventually died under Levi's Frostmourne.

Suddenly, the Spider Sense returned, and Levi stared at the hairs that had suddenly stood on end.

Without bothering to loot the corpse, Levi fled the mansion without any hesitation.

A few minutes later, inside the Mai Ka residence.

The Military Minister appeared here, and behind him, a figure like a raging beast came galloping from afar. It leaped across the rooftops, each landing stomping on a rooftop with a rumbling sound like an earthquake.

"Insects! All they can do is run away?"
