The dazzling Holy Light descended from the sky, pierced through the barriers of ice, and landed on Ferdinand.

  Everyone’s gazes followed the Holy Light instinctively.

  This was the world’s holiest light; even the orcs had to admit that.

  Light magic casters were extremely rare, and those who could master the Holy Light Technique were even rarer. They all had the God of Light’s favor.

  That god that was the sworn enemy of evil in the legends represented justice and light.

  The Holy Light represented brightness. It could cleanse a person’s soul and remove evil. It wasn’t very aggressive toward normal people, but to evil, it was like a sharp sword.

  The majority of the Falk Tribe’s orcs still trusted Ferdinand. Since the Holy Light had already descended, it could naturally prove his innocence. Then, Irina had to apologize for what she did.

  Connie stared at Ferdinand with reddened eyes as she tightly clenched her fists. Her body was trembling too.

  Mag threw a glance at Irina, who was hovering in midair. He placed Amy in Elizabeth’s care, and then left with the excuse of finding an evacuation route.

  Rex and Auster, who were locked in a battle, punched at each other before taking dozens of steps back together at the time. They stopped fighting with tacit understanding, and looked at Ferdinand together.

  The pure golden Holy Light that gave out dazzling beams landed on Ferdinand.

  “No!”


  Ferdinand’s expression twisted instantly. The hidden black fog could no longer hide. It slithered out from his body like black snakes, and twisted into scary faces in the Holy Light before it disintegrated.

  “Chi chi ga ga……” Devilish screams emerged from those shattered ghost faces, and shocked the people to their core.

  “Wh-what are those?! How could the Holy Light have made these come out?!”


  “Why are such terrifying things found on Young Master Ferdinand?!”


  “Oh my heavens! Did Young Master Ferdinand really trade his soul to the devil?!”


  The orcs surrounding Ferdinand backed away from him in a panic as they watched Ferdinand, who grimaced in the Holy Light, with shock.

  In the pure Holy Light, Ferdinand’s crazy twisted expression terrified people, and the ghost faces that the weird black fog consolidated into even made people associate them with the scary devil.

  Everyone suddenly realized what Irina said could be true. The Holy Light was already enough to prove all this.

  “How could that happen?!” All the chiefs and representatives were also shocked to see that.

  The devil only existed in the legends, but what they were seeing now couldn’t be refuted.

  If the devil was proved to have really existed, and had exchanged its soul with Ferdinand and bewitched Gary to kill his king, then what Connie said earlier about the Urba Tribe’s mishap could have indeed been caused by the devil, and the whole tribe ended cannibalizing one another?

  “Princess Irina is right. The black fog on him is indeed suspicious. It reeks of the scent of evil, and it is similar to Gary’s behavior earlier.” Billy pointed his finger at Basil who was dashing forward. Countless vines rapidly grew out from the ground, formed a wall in the blink of an eye, and blocked his way.

  Basil attempted to dash over, but was bound by the vines that suddenly entwined him.

  Ferdinand looked up gradually. There was a rim of red light around his completely black eyes. He laughed as he said to Irina, “Y-you cannot kill me…… I am the God of Darkness, and I am all around you……”


  “You are simply a remnant thought that is hiding in the body of a coward. Do you really believe you are the evil god?” Irina pursed her lips with disdain. She lifted her magic caster’s staff up again, and chanted, “God of Light, please bestow your power upon me, and with the power of holy light, cleanse this world of all evil and darkness!”


  Another brighter and bigger beam of Holy Light crashed down.

  “Ah!!!”


  Ferdinand tilted his head back and let out a shrill scream. The black fog melted away quickly in the Holy Light. Much of it disappeared even before it could form ghost faces.

  Ferdinand’s face became paler and paler. It even felt like it was going to become transparent.

  The red rim at the exterior of the eyes slowly retreated, and his eyes turned black again. His eyes met Connie’s as he weakly said, “Connie, I’ve never thought of killing you. Never did…… P-please help me……”


  “But you’ve killed everyone that I treasure, including you.” Connie sobbed with reddened eyes.

  “If there is an afterlife……”


  “Please let her off then,” Amy chimed in loudly.

  “Pfft……” Ferdinand spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his expression descended into chaos and madness again.

  “Was the old chief’s death and that rebellion really planned by Ferdinand?”


  “It’s so scary! The old chief was so nice to him, and even groomed him to be the next chief. Why did he do that?!”


  Watching the scene, all the orcs could already basically judge the situation now. The connection between Ferdinand and the devil had been proven with Ferdinand thrashing around on the ground in the holy light.

  Ferdinand suddenly opened his eyes, and stared at Connie with black eyes as he hysterically said, “I am going to kill you! You’re the bastard of that b*tch! You all killed my mother…… It’s you all who caused me to have never met her…… All of you deserve to die! When did he ever use his mercy on my mother? I am going to kill all of you to console her soul! She said she had a horrible death……”


  “Your mother died during childbirth. She insisted on saving you, and entrusted you to my mother. She begged her to treat you like her own son. You should know very well how Mother had treated you all these years. If she had really caused your mother’s death, why would she have treated you so well? She even treated you better than me,” Connie said to Ferdinand as she hugged the diary tightly. “All these things were recorded in Grandma’s diary, but you had believed the devil’s bewitchment, and killed all your loved ones.”


  “No. It wasn’t like that…… It wasn’t like that……” Ferdinand grasped his hair and yelled in pain. He fell to his knees, and let out an angry howl at the sky.

  Irina was watching this coldly. Suddenly, she cocked an eyebrow in hesitation. She kept her magic caster’s staff and pointed at Ferdinand as she shouted, “Ferdinand’s soul is already completely corroded by the devil. He has become the devil’s most loyal servant. To prevent him from harming this world again, the God of Light will cleanse his soul and body completely!”


  As soon as she said that, the holy light on Ferdinand suddenly burst out. The glaring light made it impossible for anyone to see anything within the holy light.

  Approximately three seconds later, the holy light slowly dissipated.

  And there was only a piece of tattered clothing left in the center of the stage, which was the one that Ferdinand was wearing.
