Chapter 313 The Villain Lady Arrives 142
"Yes, and according to our informants, the Dark Cult seems to be planning a large-scale attack," Joanna added.
Alice pondered for a moment and made a decision. "We can't just sit there and do nothing. Gather the team immediately and head to the border area to investigate this matter."
So, a team of elite priests, knights and volunteers, led by Alice, set out on a journey to the border. They crossed mountains and dense forests and swamps, and after untold hardships, they finally arrived at the border town shrouded in darkness.
The streets of the border town were filled with a depressing atmosphere, and the residents hid in their homes nervously, fearing that they would become victims of the Dark Cult if they were not careful. Alice and her team quietly sneaked into the town and began to secretly investigate the movements of the Dark Cult.
After some efforts, they finally found a secret base of the Dark God Cult. It was an abandoned church, which looked dilapidated on the outside, but actually hid a secret. Alice decided to lead the team to raid the base in person to obtain more intelligence.
As night fell, Alice and her team quietly surrounded the abandoned church. With an order, they quickly rushed into the church and started a fierce battle with the dark believers guarding there. The church was filled with flames and swords, and both sides tried their best.
After a hard battle, Alice and her team finally defeated the dark believers and occupied the church. However, when they searched deeper, they discovered a shocking secret - the Dark God Cult had set up a huge altar here and was preparing to perform an evil ritual to summon the power of the Dark God!
"Quick! Stop them!" Alice shouted.
However, the followers of the Dark God Cult were clearly fully prepared. They rushed to the altar desperately, trying to complete the ritual. Seeing this, Alice immediately led the team forward and launched a final battle with the followers.
In this decisive battle, Alice showed her extraordinary courage and wisdom. Not only did she personally kill several leaders of the Dark Followers, she also skillfully destroyed the evil runes on the altar, making the ceremony impossible. With the collapse of the altar and the defeat of the Dark Followers, the entire church fell into chaos.
However, just when Alice thought everything was over, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure suddenly appeared in front of her—the Shadow High Priest Carlos! He held a long sword as black as ink, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Alice, you are indeed a formidable opponent." Carlos sneered, "But today is your end!"
As he spoke, he swung his sword towards Alice. Alice quickly dodged and drew her sword to fight back. The battle between the two was extremely fierce, and the sword light and magic intertwined in the air into a dazzling spark.
Continuation
At the moment when the swords crossed, Alice seemed to hear the crisp sound of metal colliding in the air. Every confrontation was accompanied by a contest of strength and a clash of wills between the two sides. She knew very well that the man in front of her, the shadow high priest Carlos, was one of the most powerful beings in the Dark God Cult and also the most difficult opponent in her operation.
"Carlos, your evil will not escape the judgment of justice." Alice's voice was firm and powerful, and her eyes flashed with an unquestionable light. She knew very well that this battle was not only about personal honor and life and death, but also about the peace and future of the entire kingdom.
Carlos sneered, turned his sword, and attacked more fiercely. "Judgment? In front of the God of Darkness, your so-called justice is nothing but a false bubble. Today, let me put an end to it all!"
His words were full of confidence in his power and desire for victory, but Alice remained unmoved. She knew that wisdom and courage were equally important in this battle. She cleverly used the obstacles in the church and constantly changed her body shape, causing Carlos' attacks to repeatedly fail.
"You are indeed powerful, but your heart has been corrupted by darkness." Alice said as she retreated. She deliberately led Carlos to the depths of the church, where she had set a trap. "Look around here. Your believers have paved the way for your failure."
Carlos' face changed slightly when he heard this. He looked around and found that the believers who were supposed to be guarding here had disappeared. Instead, there were barriers and traps made of light runes. He snorted coldly and accelerated the rhythm of his attack, trying to break through Alice's defense.
However, Alice was already prepared. She suddenly flashed and appeared on Carlos's flank, swinging her sword with a dragon-like light, going straight for Carlos' vitals. Carlos hastily swung his sword to block, but Alice took advantage of the momentum and pushed him, causing him to stumble back and almost fall.
"This is impossible!" Carlos roared. He couldn't accept that he would be forced into such a state by a woman. However, the fact was that his followers had suffered heavy losses due to the battles and internal conflicts over the past few days, and he was now alone.
Alice did not give him a chance to breathe. She pursued him with her sword, forcing Carlos to retreat. She knew that as long as she could defeat Carlos, the Dark Cult's action would be a complete failure.
"Carlos, your doom has come!" Alice shouted, and the long sword in her hand burst into a dazzling light, which was the ultimate manifestation of the power of light. She swung the sword, and the sword light cut through the sky and went straight to Carlos' chest.
Seeing this, Carlos' eyes flashed with despair and unwillingness. He tried his best to swing his sword to block, but it was still a step too late. The sword light pierced his chest, knocking him out and falling heavily to the ground.
"No... This is impossible..." Carlos lay on the ground, gasping for breath, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He stared at Alice with eyes wide open, full of reluctance and shock.
"Nothing is impossible." Alice walked forward slowly, her voice calm and firm. "Your evil ways have come to an end."
Carlos used up his last bit of strength to look up at Alice, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "You won... but the Dark God Cult will not disappear... darkness will exist forever..."
After saying this, Carlos closed his eyes and left this world forever. Alice looked at his body, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She knew that although she defeated Carlos, the threat of the Dark Cult was not completely eliminated. However, at least this time, they successfully prevented a disaster from happening.
