Immediately afterwards, chaotic screams, explosions, and fighting sounds were heard from afar.

But these sounds soon subsided, and the forbidden forest returned to silence again, a somewhat chilling silence.

Next, the ground began to move again, and two people tied tightly with vines were carried in front of Russell.

Ha's tone was filled with both joy and regret. "Ah, these two are purer humans. Although I want to seek revenge on these wizards with my own hands, as a thank you for restoring my freedom, I will still offer them as a sacrifice to you."

The two wizards immediately understood that it was Russell who broke Ha's ban.

Although they were tied up tightly, they still glared at Russell.

So the wizards suppressed the evil god that sucked people's souls? They are the righteous side?

Russell thought of the strange ancient tree before, and always felt that things were not that simple.

However, Russell was not in a hurry to make a judgment before he had a thorough understanding of the whole story.

The two wizards were tied up like dumplings with vines and piled in front of Russell side by side with the two-headed monster.

Ha didn't seem to have any intention of withdrawing the sacrifice, and did not take back the two-headed monster.

At this time, the unconscious two-headed monster woke up. The female head woke up first. It seemed that it was still angry. It raised its hand and slapped the still unconscious male head in the face.

"Ouch! It hurts! Diane! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!" The male leader screamed in pain after being beaten.

"Roger, you bastard! You actually dared to fight back! I'm going to beat you to death!" Diane raised her hand, but she couldn't slap him down no matter what. Obviously, Roger's resistance worked.

This made Diane even angrier. Her face turned red with anger, and combined with her cheeks which were already bruised, it looked like a riot of colour.

"Wait a minute! Diane! Hit him, hit him! Ah!" Roger endured a crisp slap with his left hand and pointed his right hand at the wizard lying beside them.

"Hmph, I must beat you!" Diane's anger subsided a lot after she slapped Roger. Although she was still very fierce in her words, she subconsciously followed Roger's finger and looked at the wizard lying beside her.

Then, Diane flew into a rage: "Great! So it was you two bastards! You were the ones who experimented on my husband and me, turning us into this demon-like thing!"

Great, so these two wizards were conducting human experiments. You and that evil god Ha are truly a match made in heaven. No wonder the scholars mistook you for Ha's followers.

Wait, at least Ha doesn’t seem to be actively killing people to absorb souls. So it seems that these two wizards deserve to die more.

Russell looked at the two wizards with undisguised hatred.

Now the two-headed monster Roger and Diane had a scapegoat. The couple reached a rare consensus. They got up from the ground angrily, grabbed the two tightly tied wizards and beat them up.

They seemed to want to vent all the anger they had suffered when being used for human experiments. They crushed the two wizards' bones one by one, almost breaking them all.

The two wizards were trembling in severe pain. They were completely bound by the vines and had no way to resist. They fainted countless times and were awakened by the pain countless times.

Russell couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene, so he chose to turn around and let the crisp crackling sound of bones breaking come.

One wizard had died from the pain, and the other was dying.

The two-headed monster roughly tore off the vines blocking the wizard's mouth. A man and a woman grabbed the wizard and asked in unison, "How is it? Do you feel my pain?"

The wizard sneered with his last bit of strength: "Ha, ha, if those bastards from the church hadn't stolen our spells, you, you would all have—"

The two-headed monster, who was too impatient to listen any further, snapped his neck.

Then Roger and Diane's resentment and anger seemed to disappear. They threw the wizard's body, which had turned like mud, to the ground and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha!" Roger couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Diane laughed along, and the couple laughed until they cried.

"I say, dear, our revenge has been taken. Do you have any other wishes?" Roger asked gently.

"Me? I don't have any left. What about you, dear?"

They suddenly became intimate with each other, as if the couple who had been fighting passionately before were not them.

"I don't have any wishes anymore. If I have to say one, it's that I want to die."

"What a coincidence, me too."

After Diane's brief answer, the couple fell into silence again, leaving only the sound of their breathing.

After a moment, Roger said, "But the doctrine says that suicide cannot go to heaven. Suicide is a sin because it is considered an infringement of the life given by God. As a knight, I certainly cannot offend the Lord."

"Yes, but what shall we do, dear?"

"Since we are husband and wife, why don't you help me and I help you, and we can all be free together." Roger suggested.

"That's right, let's do it." Diane agreed.

Then, both hands grasped the two throats.

"I say, do you have any last words, dear?"

"I hope I don't see you in heaven, Roger. We've been inseparable for so many years, I'm tired of it."

"What a coincidence! I thought so too, Diane."

"Noble Knight Roger, could you please grant your wife's last, insignificant wish and go to hell?"

"That's my line, Diane! You've tortured me my whole life, and it's your turn to get a taste of hell."

"We're in hell now, Roger, aren't we?"

"Ha, you're right, it is."

"So, Roger, why don't you do it?"

"You didn't do anything either."

"You are my husband after all. We have been husband and wife for a long time. How could I have the heart to kill you?"

"Hahahaha, you actually want to continue to torture me, Diane."

Russell had remained silent out of respect, wanting to wait for the unfortunate couple to finish their last words, but the more they spoke, the more things seemed to be going wrong.

Russell finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up: "So, can you two stop showing off your affection in public?"

208 Liberation

Roger and Diane seemed to have just realized the presence of other people. They were startled at first, then looked at each other, and then jumped up from the ground.

"Oh oh oh oh! Die!" They roared and rushed towards Russell.

Russell couldn't figure out whether Roger and Diane were venting out of shyness or they really wanted to fight, so he temporarily chose to avoid them.

Who knew that this couple would be so ruthless, like mad beasts, aiming every move at the fatal part, with no intention of holding back at all.

"You silly woman, take hold of his left hand, and I'll take hold of his right, and then we can tear him apart! Oh, why can't you catch him?"

Russell dodged the pull and Roger cursed in dissatisfaction.

"Shut up! Roger! It was because we listened to your stupid advice that we fell into the hands of the wizard! I will never listen to you again!"

While cursing, Diane used a crotch kick. Russell dodged backwards.

"Asshole, this isn't what a knight does! Charge with me!"

Roger cursed and got ready. This time, Diane did not hold him back. The two-headed man launched a fierce charge towards Russell.

Russell also got tired of this game, so he drew his sword and rushed forward as well.

With a clang, Russell's figure flashed past, the cold light of his sword illuminating the eyes. His face showed no emotion, but appeared completely calm.

The couple was split in two vertically by Russell, each of them bursting out from the middle with half a body and a head.

The moment Russell cut open their bodies, the expressions on their faces were still fierce and hideous.

At this time, the blood plasma was beginning to splash outward.

They felt severe pain, and their expressions became stunned because their opponent suddenly disappeared from their sight.

When their bodies flew forward a short distance due to inertia and then fell to the ground with a thud, their expressions even turned into joy.

The two halves of the body twitched on the ground, and flames were burning where the blood had originally gushed out. The sound of Russell's footsteps on the soil came from far away.

Diane smiled happily on her extremely pale face due to blood loss: "Roger, goodbye, no, goodbye forever..."

"Well, goodbye, Diane. And thank you, thank you for letting us be free..."

These were the last words Russell heard from the couple.

Then, the flames engulfed their bodies.

Before Russell could say anything, Ha spoke first in an excited tone: "Oh oh oh! Young man! When you swung your first sword energy, I felt that you were very special! Now I see that it is true. I was not wrong about you!"

Huh? Why are you so excited? Is this the real reason you invited me to your place?

Russell narrowed his eyes.

…………

"At this point, it's time for you to tell me your true purpose, right?" Gvoguff pushed away the body of the last guard and shook the tip of his sword to wipe away the blood.

"What's the real purpose? Aren't we going to escape together?" Bishop Greene asked.

"Hmph! You just told me the bad news about my brother, wasn't it just to lure me to the eighteenth floor to release the things inside?" Gvogoff pointed at the door in front of him. "Tell me the truth, heretic, what exactly is in here?"

"How would I know what's in here?" Bishop Grein shook his head.

Really? I don’t believe it.

Gvogoff snorted in annoyance.

But before Glogoff could say anything, a fiery voice came from the sky: "If you don't know, who else would know? No one knows the secrets of the Inquisition better than you, right, Bishop Grein? No, former Bishop Grein."

"You're here after all, Bull." Bishop Green said calmly as he greeted his old colleague, Bishop Sigbert. "Then Owl should be here too, right?"

"The way you give people nicknames is as bad as your understanding of the scriptures! No wonder you embarked on the path of heresy!" With a scorching gaze, the short Bishop Damian fell silently to the ground, but could not help but speak out.

Obviously, he was not happy with the nickname Owl.

"G, G, Glenn? It's you?" Gvoguff, who was determined to break out of the dungeon and take revenge on Bishop Glenn, was almost going crazy.

Gvoguff pointed his sword at Green. He looked carefully and found that this person was actually Bishop Green.

Then the tip of the sword began to tremble violently, which undoubtedly showed Gvogoff's strong and complicated emotions.

Not only did he fail to recognize his beloved enemy, he even rescued him with his own hands.

Glogoff's face turned red and white, and he didn't even know how to face this fact.

"Then you actually lied to me and said your name was Gun?" Gvogoff finally squeezed out a word, but it sounded full of resentment.

"That's not a lie. Glenn is my Christian name, and Gunn is the name my parents gave me." Bishop Glenn explained lightly.

"What about my brother being killed? Isn't this a lie?" Hope arose in Gvogoff's heart.

However, this glimmer of hope was immediately ruthlessly extinguished by Bishop Grein: "This is no lie either. Your brother has indeed been called by the Lord. Gvogoff."

"You killed him?" Gvogoff became more and more ferocious.

"No, of course not." Bishop Grein shook his head.

Bishop Grein was not averse to claiming credit, as he himself had done when climbing the church ladder, but he would never claim it from the Holy Spirit.

"You, you..." Gvogoff was so angry that he was speechless for a moment, his chest heaving violently.

"I don't think we are enemies, Glogoff. If we want to leave here, we'd better join forces."

Bishop Green remained calm even when facing the angry glares of the two bishops and Glogoff.

"Join forces? Don't dream! I will never join forces with you!" Gvogoff roared.

"You are no match for them."

"What about you? Are you?"

"Don't forget, I have been in charge of this dungeon for nearly twenty years. I am very familiar with it." Bishop Grein's voice remained calm.

Gvoguff looked at the other two bishops doubtfully and found that they were cautious as if facing a powerful enemy. It seemed that they were indeed quite afraid of Bishop Grein who had been deprived of his stigmata.

At this moment, Gvogoff suddenly thought of something: "No, I won't cooperate with you, a liar! You said you didn't know what was in the dungeon on the 18th floor. Since you are so familiar with this place, how could you not know what's inside?"

Bishop Grein finally straightened his face and his voice became serious: "I'm not lying. After the earthquake, I really don't know what it is now."
