The Church Had Decided: You Will Be Responsible for the Backlund Diocese

Fear.

Heavy fear.

A terrifying fear so heavy it seemed capable of crushing the nerves of human reason and awakening ancient instincts rapidly spread through the black corridor. Anthony gave Luther no chance to react and immediately launched a surprise attack.

This was the terrifying ability of a Sequence 3 Horror Bishop, Fear Aura—a lesser manifestation of the authority of "fear." It could make its target experience extreme terror and lose control. Ordinary people and Low Sequence Beyonders could even be frightened to death outright by fear of this magnitude!

Swish!

Moreover, while restricting his opponent's ability to act, Anthony had already reached into the darkness and drawn a bone longsword covered in strange patterns from the unfathomable unknown depths. Dark tides surged around the bone sword as it swung, making it seem exceptionally dangerous. Anyone struck by that sword would vanish without a sound!

The moment Anthony acted, he used a vicious method of ultimate lethality, determined to eliminate his opponent in the shortest possible time.

In an instant, fear spread, and black tides soared to the heavens!

Then, everything froze at that moment.

As though forcibly cut out of this world, Anthony's imposing figure abruptly vanished, along with the floor beneath his feet and the wall beside him.

Across from him, Luther held a three-tiered jeweled jewelry box. At that moment, he opened the first tier toward the direction in which Anthony had disappeared.

Looking down, the first tier of the jewelry box contained a toy-like scene:

A toy doll stood in a black corridor. Its eyes glimmered gold, it wore a black robe, and it held a toy-like white longsword... It looked very much like Saint Anthony from just now. The doll as a whole looked quite amusing, the sort that little boys would like.

Success...

Luther
