Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen!

Pope David knew Fischl was naturally cold, so he went back to the First Holy City first and called Vincent to ask questions.

When he saw Vincent again, Pope David had already calmed down. He asked in detail about what had been happening in the Human Federation lately.

Among the reports, the information about Logan surprised the leader of the Black Church: "A Legend-level warrior under 20? The Human Federation must be blessed by the gods. Every few years, a genius appears. The last one was Bell, but he's dead now!"

Then, Pope David changed his tone: "Now Kerparos is the familiar of the Human Federation. I don't mind you watching Logan all the time, but why did you take Fischl to the Human Federation? What if Fischl dies? The Black Church might have to wait years to find a new Imperial Princess who can challenge Supernova!"

Vincent lit a cigarette and sighed: "What can I do? Fischl wants to find her own Guardian Knight."

Hearing this, Pope David's anger flared up again. "Find a non-believer as your Guardian Knight? Fischl is crazy!"

Vincent took a deep breath and said: "It's not just Fischl who is crazy. Every Imperial Princess before her was crazy too. The Black Church keeps a dangerous power under control. Every few years, it tries to break free. And the Black Church has to use an Imperial Princess as a sacrifice to keep it calm for a while. So, even though the priests respect the Imperial Princesses, they never truly see them as people."

After saying that, Vincent pointed at the throne behind Pope David and said coldly: "David, you've been the Pope for years. Do you dare sit in that seat? Do you dare feel it?"

At this, Vincent crushed the cigarette in his hand and slammed it on the ground. He stepped on it with his boot again and again. "The Imperial Princess of the Black Church is, at best, a mix of royal power and god power. At worst, she's just a puppet to keep the church in order. She's a weapon that can be used and thrown away when needed! The Black Church, one of the four main human powers, has to stand on the blood of young girls to survive. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Pope David looked angry after being mocked directly by Vincent.

Then Vincent lit another cigarette. Pope David sighed and said: "Archbishop Vincent! Once Fischl reaches Saint level, she won't be a sacrifice anymore. She'll be a hero who controls the evil spirits!"

Vincent gave Pope David a cold look and turned to leave. As he walked, he said: "I haven't been an Archbishop for years. And I won't let Fischl become a sacrifice for the church. Whether she's a hero or not? I don't care."

Pope David watched Vincent leave and muttered: "She has to be."

At the same time, Logan had already returned to the Thirteenth Holy City.

Thanks to a trick he had planned earlier, he had already left a [space coordinate] in an old base outside Saint Heart City. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble with Pope David just now.

To be safe, Logan had left another [space coordinate] in Saint Heart City and Star Lake before returning to the Black Church's main area.

Now, he stood in the center of the Thirteenth Holy City, in front of the square where the Ashen Dragon Blood Cultivation Realm entrance used to be. No one was around.

Seeing this, Logan called out Kerparos and smiled: "How does it feel? Like coming home?"

Kerparos looked at Logan and said coldly: "My home has never been in the Black Church."

Logan gave Kerparos a look and asked: "What exactly is the Three-Headed Hell Wolf Battle Style that the Pope mentioned before?"

Kerparos looked serious. "It's something the Black Church made up. Only a familiar tamer can use it. When a familiar tamer uses it, they grow three heads and six arms. That means they can use four times their usual power at the same time!"

Logan's eyes lit up. "So does that mean I can also use three different skills at the same time, like you?"

Kerparos nodded. "Exactly. So if a familiar tamer has this Battle Style, and combines it with the Rune Arrays of the Three-Headed Hell Wolf clan, they can carve enough skill arrays into their familiar space. That makes them like a walking, living cannon."

After getting Kerparos's confirmation, Logan became even more interested in the [Three-Headed Hell Wolf Battle Style].

"By the way, the Three-Headed Hell Wolf clan should be in one of the Holy Cities' Blood Cultivation Realms, right? Do you want to go check it out?" Logan remembered that Kerparos might have old friends there, so he offered to take it for a visit.

But Kerparos shook its head right away. "Master, the Three-Headed Hell Wolf can only breed inside the Gate of the Afterlife. There are no members of my clan here. No one worth visiting."

Logan was surprised. "Huh? I thought you didn't like this place. Don't you want to take a look around?"

Kerparos looked at the buildings and sighed. "No. My old master died here. This place is unlucky. Let's get things done and leave quickly."

Logan saw that Kerparos wasn't in the mood, so he didn't push further. He put it back into his familiar space.

As for who Kerparos' old master was, Logan planned to ask Fischl directly.

Soon, a Black Church messenger came over to greet them.

They led Logan to the First Holy City and directly to Pope David's palace.

Seeing Pope David again, Logan smiled and said: "Nice to see you again."

Pope David, seeing Logan acting confident, pulled his lips up slightly. "Yeah, you came back fast. Can you tell me how?"

Logan smiled and called out his Slime familiar, Jelly, and explained: "Here, it's the Slime Battle Style, taught to me by Vincent."

Pope David looked at Jelly and immediately noticed something strange. "A mass of over ten thousand slimes! That guy Vincent! He actually broke the Black Church's rules!"

Logan watched Pope David get angry and suddenly didn't feel like explaining. He pulled out the Human Federation's Sacred Fire and held it out. "Let's talk about the real thing. You promised me the Battle Style, right?"

Pope David saw Logan was direct, so he stopped being angry. He pulled out a stone tablet and threw it to Logan: "This has everything about the [Three-Headed Hell Wolf Battle Style]. Give me the Sacred Fire now."

With that, Pope David waved his hand, and the Sacred Fire floated into his hands.

Logan blinked in surprise. He clearly saw that Pope David was much stronger than he let on.

Pope David checked the Sacred Fire and felt that the human belief inside was still strong, so he felt relieved.

At that moment, a clear sound of high heels echoed through the palace. A woman in a red robe walked slowly to the center of the room and bowed to Pope David.

After accepting her greeting, Pope David introduced her to Logan: "Logan, this is Fischl's teacher, Maya Archbishop. She will take care of everything for you while you're in the Black Church."

Then Pope David took the Sacred Fire and left.

Maya walked up to Logan and bowed slightly. "Thanks for helping Fischl. The Supernova challenge will happen in three days. I hope you can come watch."

Logan politely thanked Maya for her arrangements and walked with her out of Pope David's palace.

Along the way, Logan asked curiously about the Supernova Challenge of the Black Church.

It turned out the Supernova Challenge was completely different from the one in the Human Federation. Fischl had to enter a place called the [Land of Sins], a Blood Cultivation Realm.

Inside that realm, there were hundreds of powerful monsters and evil familiar tamers that had been locked up for years.

Fischl had to fight them all alone, and only after defeating them could she get the title of "Supernova" and be recognized by the Human Faith Power.

When Logan heard this, he felt worried for Fischl in his heart.

Passing the Supernova Challenge of the Black Church wasn't easy. Fischl had always hoped Logan would help her. But how could he?

With this question in mind, Logan stopped Maya Archbishop and asked, frowning: "Where is Fischl now? I need to talk to her."

Maya Archbishop looked at Logan and smiled in a knowing way. "Come with me."

Logan followed her for several kilometers until they reached a pink palace.

As soon as he walked in, Logan saw that the whole palace was full of statues dressed in fancy clothes.

Some looked beautiful and seductive, others were graceful and elegant. Each was a stunning woman.

He stopped in front of the last statue and looked at the face that hadn't been carved yet. He asked: "Who are all these people?"

Maya Archbishop looked up at the faceless statue and sighed. "They are the Imperial Princesses of the Black Church. Only after they die do the artists carve their faces into the statues."

After saying that, Maya walked past the last statue and led Logan into a huge palace.

In the center of the palace, a Blood Cultivation Realm gate floated in the air, giving off a strong power.

Maya Archbishop walked up to the Blood Cultivation Realm and smiled. "We, the Black Church, are very good at controlling Blood Cultivation Realms. To us, the world inside is safer and more reliable. Go in. The Imperial Princess is waiting for you inside."

Logan looked at Maya Archbishop for a second, then stepped into the Blood Cultivation Realm without hesitation.

Maya Archbishop saw no doubt on Logan's face and smiled in approval. "I hope you can save those poor kids."
