Chapter 324: Preying in the Church

The leader was extremely furious at Elina, and he wanted to kill her with his hands, but not before torturing her.

"Kill the nun, but keep that b.i.t.c.h alive!" He ordered the group.

Ninia glanced at the sword stuck in the dead player's body, and Elina did the same. She wanted to take the sword, but it was too late.

The group of the players pointed their weapons at Ninia while the remaining female player grabbed Elina and dragged her to the leader.

The men were about to stab Ninia to death, but the leader stopped them.

"Wait. Let's get some answers first." The leader glared at Elina and uttered, "This girl is a player, and that nun is an NPC. What's the girl doing here?"

"Maybe she was here to get healed and hid after we came?" a player wondered.

"No." The leader pointed his gaze at Ninia and said, "Look at the expression on her face. She seems more concerned about this girl than her own life. They clearly know each other. And besides, who in their right mind would willingly pick a fight with ten bandits like us?"

The leader gestured to the female players, and they placed the sword on Elina's neck.

"Answer me, b.i.t.c.h. Do you know this nun NPC?"

Of course, Elina kept her mouth shut. Even when she was held hostage, she had no sign of fear in her eyes.

"I see. You are not going to answer, huh? Well, that's okay." The leader turned to the other group and said, "Hey! Check all the rooms here! There could be others hiding somewhere!"

Two men rushed towards the chambers and went their separate ways in different chambers.

However, five minutes pa.s.sed, but they didn't return.

"What the f.u.c.k are they doing? It's been ages! This church doesn't look big compared to the one in the higher realm," the leader muttered in annoyance.

"Hey! Go check on them. And if you see something, yell as loud as you can."

One player nodded and went to check on the other players.

"Pst pst!" The leader whispered to another player and said, "Go after him but keep your distance. Don't engage in any activity."

Yet another five minutes pa.s.sed, and the third player didn't return. However, the fourth player returned while yelling at the top of his lungs.

He was running as fast as he could while glancing back repeatedly.

"Th-There is There is someone in there!" he yelled with a petrified look on his face.

All the remaining players grabbed their weapons tightly and turned to the chambers, diverting their attention from Ninia and Elina.

The player who was running reached them and sighed in relief. He thought he was safe, and his teammates would take care of everything.

However, he hadn't realized he was already beyond saving.

He looked at his HP bar, which was rapidly decreasing as though someone was sucking his lifeforce. He patted his body and checked it in confusion, but he couldn't feel any pain or see any wound.

Suddenly, he fell to the ground, and his HP eventually reached zero as he died.

His teammates were confused as well, and they couldn't figure out how he died. Before they could even comprehend the situation, a s.h.i.+ning, golden arrow came out of the dead player's body and entered another player's body.

A few seconds later, he collapsed on the floor and died on the spot. Just like before, the arrow came out of his body and headed towards the female player... n...

However, the leader swung his sword and cut the arrow into it as it stopped s.h.i.+ning and fell to the ground.

He then glared at the darkness of the chambers and said, "Come out! It's too late to die now!"

STEP~ STEP~!

With heavy and loud steps, Aria walked into their sight and stood before them. She nonchalantly rubbed her eyes and said, "I will spare your life if you leave now."

"Shut up!" The leader pulled Elina close to him and placed the sword on her head. "If you move, even your finger, I will kill this b.i.t.c.h!"

"Oh? Now that's daring of you to threaten me when your life is in danger," Aria scoffed arrogantly.

"What do you!" The leader stopped on his words as his eyes widened in surprise.

It was Victoria, who had stealthily got behind the leader and placed a knife on his back.

"You came here with the intention of theft, but then you tried to kill my dear friend," Aria said while glancing at Ninia. "Be glad that her 'G.o.d' is not here. Or you would be given a judgment, not a punishment."

Aria frowned her face at the leader and said, "I won't repeat again. Leave now, and never show your face."

The leader dropped the sword and raised his hands in the air as though he had surrendered. He made eye contact with the remaining players and made eye gestures.

SIGH!

Aria let out a weary sigh and shook her head in disbelief.

CLAP! CLAP!

Two claps rang in the quiet church, and numerous demons appeared from the shadows. They dashed at the remaining players and killed them without any mercy, leaving only the leader alone.

After losing everyone in front of his eyes, he looked at his dead wife and uttered in a trembling voice:

"Why? We only came here to make some money. Why are you girls defending an NPC? She is just a fake human."

A rank-five demon walked and stopped in front of the leader. Its height was one and half times taller than the leader, and its appearance alone was enough to give one nightmare for days.

The black shadow was emitting from it and golden cracks across its body, all leading to its two glowing golden eyes.

At that moment, the leader realized that he had messed with the wrong people. Due to pure fear, he wet his pants and fell to his knees, seemingly losing all hope and falling into despair.

The demon turned to Aria as though it was waiting for her command.

Aria looked at Elina, Victoria, and then at Ninia, who was evidently frightened by everything.

"Kill him," Aria ordered.
