In the name of the true god

Watching Keanu Archer free himself from his restraints, Chambers and the four priests showed no fear, their faces filled with mockery.

The fourth-order "heretic" is very strong.

If it weren't for its immense power, the Holy Church wouldn't have established the ironclad rule that anyone arrested as a "heretic" of the fourth rank or above would be executed.

but--

There is a fundamental difference between a fourth-tier Entanglement Wizard and a fourth-tier Resonance Mage!

Resonance sorcerers can directly gain amplification through resonance, while entanglement sorcerers still need a medium to fully unleash the power of the Law of Contact.

If they skillfully use the element of wind to maneuver and avoid direct contact with Keanu Archer, they can avoid more than 90% of the risks.

Not to mention, Keanu Archer suffered torture for five days after his arrest, and his physical and mental strength was already exhausted.

Dealing with him is tantamount to toying with him.

As for whether Keanu Archer, being outmatched, will take the opportunity to flee and seek another chance.

This is exactly what Chambers wanted to see!

He wanted to give Keanu Archer a chance to escape, and the bigger the commotion, the better.

In this way, the church could later use a more legitimate pretext to pressure the monarchists and King Leonard of the Kingdom of Florence, forcing them to make concessions and agree to transfer the more than forty "heretics" imprisoned in the prison to the church temple.

Although allowing fourth-order "heretics" to wreak havoc in the prison would make the priests stationed there appear incompetent, the entire plan was devised by the bishop himself. With the bishop backing him up, he, as the executor, didn't need to worry about being punished by the church.

However, it's possible that the Royal Capital Heavy Prison will demote him.

Oh.

At that time, the capital's heavy prison will no longer have the power to imprison "heretics," so there's no need for them to be demoted; they will return to the church to report on their own!

"Go to hell!!"

In the blink of an eye.

Keanu Archer lunged at Chambers, who was closest to him.

Chambers' ability to rise to the position of deacon in the church is certainly not to be underestimated.

Faced with the attack of a fourth-order 'heretic', he calmly fell backward, and with a sudden gust of wind, he was slowly 'flew' four or five meters away.

Keanu Archer seemed to have anticipated this, and instead of stumbling after him, he slammed his hand heavily on the chair Chambers had just sat in.

"Sizzle—"

"Snapped!"

The chair immediately became covered in cracks and crumbled into wood chips from the inside out!

Keanu Archer's horrific wounds, however, healed considerably as the chair was destroyed!

Upon seeing this, the four priests standing around the area suppressed their smiles and retreated to one side without hesitation.

Keanu Archer, having recovered somewhat, immediately turned fierce and charged toward the nearest priest with high morale.

"Troublesome..." the young priest cursed under his breath. As he retreated, he stretched out his arms, crossed his palms in an "X" shape, and pushed them outwards.

A sharp gust of wind suddenly slammed heavily into Keanu Archer's body.

"Bang!"

Keanu Archer crashed into the iron door of a cell, and ignoring the pain, reached out and touched the lock, 'transferring' the injury he had suffered to it.

pity.

These injuries were not enough to break the iron gate, and his physical and mental strength were almost exhausted, making it completely hopeless to rescue his companions.

Hearing the commotion, the three fellow inmates imprisoned in the heresy block shouted through the heavy iron gate:

"You go! Don't worry about us!"

"We'll take as many as we can!"

"Hurry up, Keanu!!"

Keanu Archer scanned the area ahead. Although Chambers and the other priests had dispersed, they had deliberately left the main gate of the heresy prison open.

Could it be that he really wants to let me go?

Let's go then!

Let's see if you succeed or you go too far!

Keanu Archer rushed to the door, taking two steps at a time, and quickly climbed the steps to head towards the first floor of the special prison building.

"Who goes there?!"

"Don't move! I'll shoot if you move again!"

There are multiple gates on the road leading from the heretical prison area to the main floor, and two armed prison guards are on duty in front of each gate.

Upon hearing hurried footsteps coming from below, the prison guards, who were already on high alert due to recent incidents at the prison, immediately drew their guns and aimed them at the corner of the stairs.

next moment.

A figure dressed in prison clothes appeared.

Knowing full well the threat posed by the "heresy," the prison guards pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang!!"

"Bang bang bang!!"

Even though Keanu Archer was prepared and tried his best to dodge, he still couldn't avoid being shot twice in the confined space.

"Ugh..." He groaned, enduring the excruciating pain, and forced his way to the two nearest prison guards, grabbing their shoulders with both hands.

"what!"

"Well!"

Gunshot wounds instantly appeared on the two prison guards, and blood gushed from the wounds.

Taking advantage of their inability to resist, Keanu Archer seized the guns from them and continued to advance through a hail of bullets!

"Bang! Bang!"

"puff!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"puff!"

The guards at the next few gates kept firing, bullets piercing and penetrating Keanu Archer's body.

With his physical and mental strength already nearing its limits, Keanu Archer's frequent use of his abilities left him with heavy steps and blurred vision. He gritted his teeth, struggling to raise his gun and exchange fire while simultaneously relying on physical contact to "transfer" all his injuries to the nearest prison guards.

Seeing that the "heretic" was unharmed, the remaining prison guards frantically began to close the gates.

However, the staircase was only so long, and there wasn't enough time for them to change their strategy.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Click!"

As the magazine emptied, Keanu Archer finally shot down the last guard on duty who was trying to close the gate, pulled the gate open a crack, squeezed through, and then locked the gate again to block the priest behind him.

"Waaaaah—waaaah—"

A dozen seconds after the gunfight broke out, just as Keanu Archer had passed through several gates and was only a step away from the main floor, the armed prison guards stationed on the main floor reacted and sounded the alarm.

At the same time.

Connor, who hadn't gone far from the special prison building, heard the noise and his expression sharpened. He instinctively turned back to rush over.

Cole Sanders raised his hand to stop him: "Connor, don't interfere with the church's plans."

"Teacher!" Connor, already understanding Chambers's purpose, spoke with unusual urgency, "The guards are innocent!"

"To achieve our goal, we always need to make some sacrifices," Cole Sanders earnestly advised. "If you ruin the plan, you will be severely punished by the church, and those prison guards will have died in vain."

"Can--"

"There are no 'buts'," Cole Sanders interrupted Connor's argument. "I've taught you all these years, you should learn to recognize your own position and avoid making mistakes rather than seeking merit."
