I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

War God Church's Slaughter Knight?

Lis, who was staying in the caravan, looked at the black-armored warrior suddenly appearing in front of Taya and raised an eyebrow.

That is certainly an extremely rare existence.

However, judging by the special emblem on her armor and the aura emanating from her, she appears to be genuine.

The War God Church is one of the most powerful extraordinary forces in the Western Desert. Apart from the legendary strongmen, the most famous existence might be the Slaughter Knights.

Each Divine Church would assemble the most elite troops; the Dawn Church has the Dawn Holy Knights, while War God Church's top force consists of Slaughter Knights.

However, War God Church's situation is somewhat special. Other divine churches generally assemble Paladin Orders to jointly face enemies.

In contrast, War God Church's Slaughter Knights are significantly fewer in number and mostly act alone.

But this is also the uniqueness of the Slaughter Knights.

War God holds divine positions in war and slaughter, and those who can become Slaughter Knights typically possess abilities related to these domains.

Both domains' abilities are incredibly powerful, greatly enhancing combat performance.

This makes the Slaughter Knights highly formidable and accustomed to acting alone.

The number of Slaughter Knights in War God Church is not large; it is unexpected to encounter one here.

Fess Allen?

Lis frowned slightly, pondering for a moment. He hadn't heard of a Slaughter Knight by this name in his past life.

But it's understandable; he was just a Golden Mage in his previous life. Even with forums available, he couldn't have known all the details of War God Church.

By the way, why is someone from War God Church appearing here?

Lis's figure flashed, appearing beside Taya.

Seeing Lis appear, Taya's initially tense face relaxed somewhat, and she retreated slightly to stand behind Lis.

"Who are you?"

Noticing Lis's appearance, Fess stepped back and looked at him warily, instantly grasping the blood-colored long sword in front of her.

"My name is Lis. I didn't expect to meet a Slaughter Knight here."

Lis looked at the heroic female warrior in front of him, smiling as he spoke.

A trace of vigilance showed in Fess's eyes, but seeing Taya obediently staying behind Lis, she spoke:

"Nice to meet you, Lord Lis."

Inside, Fess heightened her alertness; she hadn't noticed Lis's presence earlier at all.

Although she couldn't sense Lis's aura, her intuition kept warning her that this handsome young man before her might be even stronger than the red-haired warrior who had just made a move.

"I am Taya."

Taya nodded towards Fess, examining the Slaughter Knight in front of her with curiosity.

Fess's attire was nothing special, but the black armor emitted a mysterious and noble feeling, possibly blessed by the War God Church?

Although Lis is a very upright person, he couldn't help but notice that the black armor perfectly outlined Fess's voluptuous figure, catching much attention.

"It is an honor to meet both of you."

Looking at the two in front of her, Fess hesitated.

She hadn't expected to encounter two high-level golden rank individuals here, both giving off a dangerous feeling.

"Fess, why are you here?"

Lis surveyed the battlefield around them, addressing Fess.

The desert bandits are now completely wiped out, with no survivors left.

Though Fess appears to be in her twenties, her actions are swift and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.

The surrounding desert bandits were either split in half or had a chilling stab through their chest.

Indeed, a quintessential style of War God Church's Slaughter Knights.

Rather than divine officers, they seem more like cold-blooded killing machines.

Compared to the Slaughter Knights Lis encountered in his past life, Fess was slightly better.

At least she wasn't stone-faced and showed some other expressions.

"I left Ambundo City and am currently on my path of cultivation."

Fess didn't hide anything, responding directly.

"I stayed at the oasis ahead for two days while training my combat skills. Upon my return, I found the oasis under attack."

"Following the desert bandits' trail led me here, where I saw Taya fighting two golden warriors. Noticing someone attempting to flee, I intervened."

Turning to Taya, Fess nodded apologetically and said:

"Sorry for intervening without your consent."

"No problem."

Taya shook her head lightly, dismissing the concern.

She could have handled it alone.

She could have effortlessly dealt with them in one-on-two combat, so there was no way she'd let one escape.

But Taya didn't mind Fess stepping in. She acted initially because she couldn't stand those desert bandits chasing ordinary people.

It didn't matter to her who killed the desert bandits; saving lives was the priority.

Instantly defeating many desert bandits, those bronze and silver desert bandits didn't dare to continue the chase, all froze in their tracks, some even trying to sneak away.

This allowed the hunted Sand Clan people to seize the chance and flee desperately towards Blais' Caravan.
