*Bang!*
The brown sole of her boot slammed into the chest of "Four Great Elements," producing a powerful, muffled thud.
"Ah, ah..."
"Four Great Elements" cried out in pain, his entire torso bending like a cooked shrimp as he was sent flying by the kick.
*Thump!*
His black-clad figure flew like a sandbag, crashing heavily into the opposite wall.
A mixture of white and red vomit spewed from his mouth.
"Four Great Elements" slid down from the wall and passed out.
When Tang Zheng saw this, he was briefly stunned, the corner of his eye glancing toward "Four Great Elements."
The man's head was turned away from him.
There were slight movements in his shoulders, and his body seemed to be twitching, an involuntary reaction to the intense pain.
*Faking unconsciousness?*
A thought stirred in Tang Zheng's mind. *So they're not putting on an act?*
He observed that the two Cardinals also looked completely surprised. However, as rulers of the Slane Theocracy, he had no way of telling if they were truly "acting."
The otherworld was not short on old schemers!
But Zesshi Zetsumei probably didn't possess such high-level "acting skills."
Still, he couldn't be so sure.
After all, a novel is a novel. But taking out a member of the Black Scripture from the "Heroic Realm" right from the start seemed a bit too costly for a mere act.
The power Tang Zheng had displayed was only at that level, after all.
"Nonsense!"
"What are you doing? Go back at once!" Raymond slammed his hand on the table, forcing himself to suppress the immense fear in his heart as he spoke in a low voice.
"Oh~?"
Zesshi Zetsumei ignored Raymond, raising her head to look at the Dominion Authority. The corner of her mouth curved into a slight arc.
"Why didn't you tell me about such an interesting toy?"
As her voice fell!
Zesshi Zetsumei took the scythe from her shoulder. It was a pitch-black, cross-spear-shaped battle scythe, resembling a scythe but with three blades.
"Stop!"
Sinedine quickly stood up, seemingly guessing what Zesshi Zetsumei intended to do, and hastily tried to stop her.
*Swish!*
The cross-spear battle scythe transformed into a sharp, black flash of light, slashing heavily at the Dominion Authority.
*BOOM!*
A tremendous crash echoed throughout the great hall.
The Dominion Authority was knocked back, and a crack as wide as a finger appeared on the surface of its silvery-white armor, which emanated a faint holy light.
Having been attacked!
The Dominion Authority, which had been motionless all this time, seemed to have been awakened, and it suddenly vibrated its wings.
Countless white feathers materialized out of thin air, forming torrents of holy energy that caused the sacred light emanating from the Dominion Authority to grow even larger and brighter.
*Swish!*
A golden scepter instantly coalesced, gripped tightly in the Dominion Authority's hands, before transforming into a swarm of golden shards that spun around its body.
A terrifying energy fluctuation filled the air!
"Not good!"
Raymond's face paled. He instantly shot up from his seat and retreated backward, simultaneously slapping his chest.
A magic item hidden within his white magic robe was triggered, forming a holy barrier that enveloped his entire body!
"[Magic Shield]!"
"[Lower-Tier Holy Attribute Resistance]!"
"[Shield Arm]!"
Sinedine scrambled away from the round table, retreating in the opposite direction while continuously casting defensive magic.
"What in the world is going on?"
Tang Zheng was finally certain that this wasn't an act, and he too began to retreat.
*Bang! Bang!*
A pure white, sacred light appeared.
Two Watcher Principalities materialized in mid-air before Tang Zheng, retreating along with him.
Zesshi Zetsumei paid no mind to the actions of those around her. Watching the ever-intensifying holy energy, the upward curve of her lips deepened.
"[Firm Strike Reinforcement]!"
"[Ability Boost]!"
"[Super Ability Boost]!"
"[Ultra Slash]!"
Zesshi Zetsumei pushed off with her legs, leaping into the air above the Dominion Authority's head. While the Angel was still in its "casting animation," the cross-spear battle scythe in her hand had already swung down.
*KREEE—SHHH!!*
The piercing sound of grinding metal and a shower of sparks erupted!
Everyone felt as though they had just seen a flash of black light.
Under the force of that black slash, the massive Dominion Authority was actually sliced in two.
*Bang!*
The Dominion Authority's body split apart. The attack it was preparing was forcefully interrupted, and it dissipated into specks of holy energy in mid-air.
The powerful Angel, possessing strength on the level of a Demon God, had been slain in a single blow. This terrifying scene unfolded before everyone, causing their expressions to change in various ways!
Raymond and Sinedine were both shocked and furious.
They didn't know how Zesshi Zetsumei had learned of the Angel's existence, but now, that was no longer their only concern!
The Dominion Authority had been destroyed!
All the resources consumed before were completely wasted, and the plan to have it last for ten years and become a cornerstone of the Theocracy was also ruined.
Not only that.
Zesshi Zetsumei's words upon her arrival—"the last angel"—made it all too clear that the other two Dominion Authorities they had summoned before had also been destroyed.
Raymond's cheek twitched, his eye jumping. The intense anguish and rage made his face flush a deep red.
Sinedine's face was dark. But compared to these losses, what shocked and angered him more…
Was Zesshi Zetsumei, the trump card of the Theocracy!
Her existence, which was supposed to be a secret that no outsider could know, had now been exposed.
There was still an outsider present!
Annihilating the highest-tier Angel in a single blow—such power was simply not something a human could possess.
Sinedine didn't think that Leader Tang was a fool. The man would likely grow suspicious and start speculating.
"There's nothing?"
Zesshi Zetsumei's figure descended from the air, her gaze sweeping over the spot where the Dominion Authority had vanished, as if searching for something.
Finding nothing.
A trace of regret appeared on Zesshi Zetsumei's face, but she then turned around calmly, seemingly not too bothered by it.
She continued to ignore the two Cardinals!
Zesshi Zetsumei turned, her black and white ponytails swaying. Her heterochromatic eyes, matching her hair, stared at Tang Zheng, who had already retreated a fair distance and was hidden behind the two Watcher Principalities.
