Chapter 506 Who is the leader of the devil followers?

"Benfica?"

"Who is that?"

Hoqia looked at Li Si with a confused expression, as if he had never heard of this name.

Li Si smiled and shook his head, saying softly:

"Angela, please."

"Oh~"

A soft voice came from the room, and Cinderella and Felix were somewhat surprised to find that a small white bat suddenly appeared on Li Si's shoulder.

Do not!
wrong!

The little white bat did not suddenly appear on Li Si's shoulder, but had always been there, but the two of them subconsciously ignored her existence.

What's happening here?
Although they were shocked, they did not show it and just stood aside quietly.

Angela stood up lazily with her little wings spread out, looking at Hosea in front of her with a hint of smoke in her eyes.

The little white bat flapped its wings gently, and a strong blood light suddenly appeared around Hozia's body.

"what?"

Hoqia looked at the blood light appearing around his body with some horror. For some reason, looking at this rich and pure blood-colored light, he had a very bad feeling in his heart.

His body subconsciously pulled back. As a gold-level warrior, Hozia was still very confident in his own strength.

Although the people in front of him looked quite mysterious and seemed to know his secret, the most important thing was to escape first.

Just as Hozia was about to escape, he discovered that the bloody light was following him like a maggot on his tarsal bones.

Hoqia wanted to continue dodging, but the blood light instantly entered his body.

"Ok?"

Hozia felt the breath in his body surge, and the originally peaceful breath suddenly became violent, like an awakened abyss beast, emitting a dangerous and evil breath.

As his chest rose and fell, a frightening black airflow suddenly burst out from his body. This airflow was like a living thing, swirling around his body, carrying a breath of corruption and destruction. In the airflow, a distorted face and sharp claws could be vaguely seen, as if it was a demon crawling out of the abyss of hell, exuding greed for life and blood, eager to find new prey.

Hozia tried his best to control the madly surging demonic power and barely maintained his own consciousness. His red eyes looked ferociously at Li Si and the little bat on his shoulder.

Why would the remaining power of Lord Benfica be easily mobilized by this person?
What was that flash of blood just now?
really!

Li Si looked at Hoqia, who was constantly being infected by the demonic power and whose body began to change and was getting closer to the abyss demon. His current state was the same as that of the wizard before.

When fighting with the golden wizard before, Li Si noticed that the demonic power on him was very similar to that of the legendary vampire Benfica he had seen before.

And Angela also gave Li Si a positive answer, that is the demonic power coming from Benfica.

The legendary vampire Benfica left a very deep impression on Li Si, and almost took Li Si down at that time.

But in the end, with the help of His Majesty Burns, Lis also defeated Benfica.

It is unknown how long the Demon Prince Demogorgon had been preparing and laying the groundwork for the destruction of the Elf Royal Court, but Benfica was part of it.

Several gold-level vampires under his command controlled the trade of most elven slaves in the underground world of the Bolin Kingdom, and used this method to obtain enough elven blood required for the Abyss Ritual.

Now that I think about it, Benfica's subordinates may not just be those gold-level vampires. He may also have his people among the high-level officials of the Bolin Kingdom, secretly cooperating with Benfica's plan.

This is entirely possible, and as long as those people accept Benfica's demonic power, they will be completely under his control and there is basically no need to worry about being betrayed.

The leader of the Akote City Guard, Hozia, in front of him was obviously one of them. Even his strength as a gold-level warrior might have come from the power bestowed by Benfica.

However, we can’t let his soul be completely contaminated by the devil’s power now, it still has some use!

Now it seems that Hosea is definitely not the only corrupt person among the high-ranking officials of the Bolin Kingdom.

Although Li Si was much stronger than the gold-level mage just now, there was no essential difference in soul strength.

Even with Li Si's current research on soul magic, it is difficult to bypass the seal and obtain the desired information.

But the soul of the gold-level warrior in front of him is different. He can do whatever he wants with it, right?
Felix, who was standing by, also saw Hosea bursting out with demonic power, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

The Church of the Gods generally does not directly intervene in the direct rule of the human kingdom, but no matter what, he understands that even the leader of the Royal Capital City Guard is a believer of the Abyss Demon. How bad must the situation in the entire Royal Capital be?
The key point is that the Church of the Gods did not notice anything unusual before and was completely deceived.

God knows what these believers of the abyss demons have done in this city during this period of time.

This was quite difficult for Felix to accept, and he looked at Hosea as if he wanted to tear him into pieces.

However, this person was discovered by the wise Li Si after all, so even if he was angry, he could not interfere.

Sage Li Si had directly faced the demon prince during the disaster in the Elf King's Court, and he would not tolerate these believers of the abyss demons.

Perhaps this is why this person appeared in the city of Akote!
Felix felt as if he understood something, and the worries in his heart dissipated a little.

No matter what, with such a strong person around, I always feel more at ease.

But when facing Hosea, Li Si did not take direct action.

In front of Felix's eyes, the little white bat that was on Li Si's shoulder just now suddenly turned into a white-haired girl, waving a huge sickle that was disproportionate to her petite body, and attacked Hosea fiercely.

Hozia, who had just exuded a terrifying aura, was defeated in front of the girl and had no chance to fight back.

Especially the demonic power surrounding his body. The white-haired girl didn't seem to care at all about this corrupt power that ordinary people feared. She just slapped it away and continued attacking as if nothing had happened.

Soon, Hoqia fell to the ground like a dead pig and fainted. The wounds on his body continued to ooze dark red blood, and he no longer had any strength to resist.

Li Si shook his head. If it was the demonic power obtained from other abyss demons, he might be able to hold out for a while longer in front of Angela, but forget about Benfica's.

As long as the opponent is not of legendary level, he can't make any splash in front of Angela's blood clan power.

As the son of God Cain, Angela's blood clan power is far stronger than that of ordinary blood clans, and he is gradually showing the demeanor of the Son of God.

After making sure that Hozia didn't have the strength to struggle, Angela also stood aside with the sickle, covering her mouth with her hands and yawning.

For her, this kind of battle really wasn't challenging at all.

Apart from fighting, only Li Si and delicious food could arouse her interest.

Felix on the side looked at Angela in astonishment, or to be more specific, at the huge sickle in her hand.

Everything he saw today was more shocking than anything Felix had encountered in the past few years.

Li Si ignored Felix and walked up to hide beside Hosea, whose life or death was unknown.

A hand touched Hozia's forehead, and magic flowed out from his hand, slowly and delicately spreading to the soul deep in the other's mind. Felix noticed Li Si's actions, and he could recognize that this should be some kind of soul magic that can forcibly read memories.

Because this special magic is likely to harm the soul of the user, it is also a type of evil magic banned by the Church of the Gods.

However, Felix did not say anything to stop it. He was not as stubborn as those young paladins, so it was not a problem for him to turn a blind eye to this extent.

The most important thing is that the person whose memory was read was a devil believer, and he didn't care whether the other person's soul would be damaged.

Moreover, it’s not like the Church of the Gods would never do such a thing. There are so many dark things happening in the Inquisition.

Li Si's entire attention has been devoted to controlling magic, carefully manipulating the magic power to avoid anything that could possibly touch the soul.

This is not because Li Si has good intentions, but it is something that must be done.

As he expected, he discovered a special restriction in Hosea's soul, guarding his memory.

Li Si's operation now is like walking on a tightrope. The slightest mistake may trigger the ban and cause the collapse of Hoqia's soul.

Fortunately, Hoqia's soul strength is not high, so Li Si still has a certain amount of control space to read and retrieve memories.

The room fell into an unspeakable silence, and everyone stood there quietly, waiting for the final result.

Suddenly, Li Si's body trembled, he opened his eyes and stood up.

"what!"

"Do not!!!"

Hoqia, who was originally in a coma, suddenly widened his eyes, and evil black and red flames instantly gushed out from his five orifices, sweeping over Hoqia's entire body after a moment.

Hozia's screams only lasted for a few breaths before fading away.

The gold-level warrior who was lying on the ground just now also completely disappeared at this time, leaving only a few black ashes to show that he had existed.

With his soul completely broken, it was obvious that Hozia had completely disappeared from this world, without even the chance to fall into the abyss and turn into a demon.

Li Si let out a long sigh of relief. The operation just now was much more tiring than the previous battle.

Although he had gained a lot of knowledge and experience in soul magic from the floating city of Azera and the elf land of Tyrion, and had practiced it several times, this was his first time actually operating it.

He also accidentally triggered the restriction in Hocia's soul, but fortunately, the information he got from looking through his memories was enough.

Thinking of this, Li Si turned to look at Felix who was standing beside him.

"There is good news and there is bad news, which one do you want to hear, Bishop Felix?"

Felix looked at Li Si helplessly. He didn't expect that Li Si would keep it a secret at this time.

"Then let's hear the good news first."

"Good news?"

Li Si had an inexplicable smile on his face, as if he had eaten a big melon.

"The good news is that although I haven't found all the demon followers related to Hozia, I already know who the leader of the demon followers in the Bolin Kingdom is?"

Felix nodded. This was indeed good news, but he was not too surprised.

After all, as the leader of the Akot City Guard, Hozia should have a very high status in the demon organization, so it is not surprising that he knows the identity of the leader.

Could it be the Benfica that Li Si just mentioned?
Felix had never heard of this name, but since the other party could bestow the power of the devil, he should be an important person.

"So what's the bad news?"

For some reason, Felix always had a bad feeling when he saw the smile on Li Si's face.

It's like big trouble is coming.

"The bad news is that the leader's name is Alvin."

"Alvin Bolin!"

This name seems familiar.
and many more!

Pauline?!
"Damn it!"

Felix soon remembered what the name meant.

That is the name of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Bolin!
The king is actually a devil believer? ?

Felix felt a sudden chill run through his body and his throat felt dry.

"Lord Li Si, are you sure?"

It’s not that Felix didn’t want to believe it, it’s just that the situation was too shocking.

If the news that Hosea was a devil follower made Felix feel dangerous, no matter from which perspective, Felix did not want to see His Majesty the King being the leader of the devil follower.

If this is true, the impact on the entire Bolin Kingdom will be devastating.

"That's impossible. The Church of the Gods has always invested a lot of protection in His Majesty Alvin, and even blesses him with divine power every once in a while."

"If His Majesty the King is a devil believer, he should have been discovered long ago!"

Felix quickly calmed down. There was no point in panicking now.

He was not refuting Li Si, but thinking about the possibilities.

"Of course, the blessing of divine power should not go wrong."

Li Si nodded slightly. This was one of the tacit understandings reached between the Church of the Gods and the Human Kingdom. It was also an important means for the Church of the Gods to maintain order in the Human Kingdom.

"What if His Majesty the King did not accept the power of the devil?"

"This"

Felix said somewhat puzzled.

"If he has not accepted the power of the devil, then there will be no problem in accepting the baptism of the church's divine power. Even if the alignment detection magic shows that the king's alignment has shifted, the church will not care too much, right?"

Li Si walked to the window, looked at the Bolin Palace in the distance, which was still brightly lit in the night, and said with a smile:

"If His Majesty the King was promised that he could transform into a high-level demon to prolong his life when his life came to an end, what do you think he would choose?"

Felix froze where he was, and thinking of the King's usual behavior, he was speechless.
