Chapter 423 - 423 Revenge!
The low chanting inside the church faded as people looked up in horror at the charred human figure overhead, the black flesh creeping across the vault of the church, covering the colorful murals.
The World Power of Silent Hill was eroding the church.
The charred human figure was naturally Alessa, her body enveloped in swirling air currents, as if wrapped in black flames.
The chains that bound her had been burnt through, her arms crossed in front of her chest, reminiscent of the fabled Iron Maiden Joan of Arc undergoing torture.
A multitude of Thorn Iron Wires surged out of Alessa's body, sweeping across the entire venue.
The worshippers panicked and fled, but it was futile. They were entangled by the Thorn Iron Wires, their bodies pierced through and hanging in mid-air.
Blood splattered down, and screams interwove into a tune that seemed to come from Hell.
Alessa looked at the scene before her, a sense of vindictive satisfaction in her eyes.
All of a sudden, she turned her gaze towards the direction of the female high priest, Chrisbethala, she certainly couldn't forget her, the woman was the root cause of everything, and the person she hated the most.
The Thorn Iron Wires rushed towards the female high priest like a tide, and the helpless upper half of the high priest, who couldn't evade, was wrapped in Thorn Iron Wires and torn to shreds in the blink of an eye.
Rein watched the high priest being torn apart, his heart slowly eased.
But his relief was quickly replaced by anxiety, as he realized that the restraints on his body had not vanished.
The Thorn Iron Wires surged toward Metatron's Seal, another part of the Evil God's power.
If Alessa could devour that power, she would gain complete control over the entire world of Silent Hill.
Metatron's Seal was covered in a mass of flesh, and when Thorn Iron Wires surged towards it, the flesh suddenly writhed, transforming into a Flesh Snake.
The Flesh Snake, with Metatron's Seal, wriggled out of the gaps in the Thorn Iron Wire Mesh.
The flesh continued to contort and transform, and in the blink of an eye, it became a pallid-skinned woman.
The female monster had no eyes, only two dark hollows that sank deeply in. Four sharp semicircular blades were respectively inserted into her ears and both sides of her vertex.
The "Knife Blade Woman" wielding a "7" shaped metal Hook Scythe, her teeth, exposed due to her absent lips, clacked menacingly, her body emanating a torrent of hatred.
The "Knife Blade Woman," who had transformed from the female high priest, hadn't wanted to do this initially.
Although this allowed her to merge a part of the Evil God's power, she had also completely turned into a monster and could never change back into a human.
Knife Blade Woman gripping the Hook Scythe, lunged at Alessa, her potent aura completely dominating that of Alessa.
She was destined to be stronger than Alessa, for most of Alessa's power had been used in creating the world of Silent Hill and its various monsters.
Alessa's power was dispersed; she usually had Pyramid Head to protect her, but now she was alone.
The Evil God's power within her, however, was wholly invested in herself.
The surging Thorn Iron Wires rushed towards Knife Blade Woman, like a black Don River.
Knife Blade Woman swung her metal Hook Scythe, so sharp it was, that the sturdy Thorn Iron Wires were easily cut through.
Knife Blade Woman broke through the Thorn Iron Wire Mesh, and as she drew closer to Alessa, she let out an excited roar.
Even though Alessa controlled powerful forces, her physical form remained frail, and if she was approached, she was doomed to be no match for her.
Rein prepared to watch the battle from the sidelines, and even though the shadow seemed to bear him no malice, he considered both Knife Blade Woman and the shadow to be evil Dark Creatures.
The best outcome would be for both to be injured, after which he would come out to clean up the situation.
Just then, a shadow suddenly lunged out—it was the schoolboy with a drill, his black head spinning rapidly as he rushed towards Knife Blade Woman.
"Don't go!" Rein's face changed abruptly, and he bellowed in anger.
The boy had once been his student, and though he had turned into a monster, he didn't want to see him die before his eyes.
But he was too far away from the other party, and it was already too late to stop them now.
The axe-headed girl looked indifferently at the school uniformed boy rushing towards her, swinging her hook scythe casually.
The school uniformed boy was of course no match for the axe-headed girl, his body along with his head were bisected by the hook scythe.
The axe-headed girl didn't realize that the creature she had casually slaughtered was not just a monster, but also a landmine.
The monster boy's limbs fell from the sky, turning into black ashes before hitting the ground, leaving only a tattered school uniform fluttering in the air like a waving flag.
Rein bowed his head, shadows covering his face, obscuring any discernible expression.
He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and put it between his lips.
Those who were familiar with Rein knew that he didn't have a smoking habit; he only smoked when he was extremely angry and distressed.
The axe-headed girl's attention was all on Alesha, the restraints she had placed around her having been lifted long ago. Rein reached out his hand and beckoned the Storm Axe back from the ground.
There was no wind inside the somber church, yet Rein's silver-gray hair suddenly began to dance, followed by his black suit fluttering fiercely.
A hurricane converged towards Rein, the invisible air elements seemingly gaining physical form, condensing into a sacred Storm Giant.
Rein stood at the center of the Storm Giant, holding the short axe, like a war god out of myth and legend.
Rein took a step and instantly crossed tens of meters, appearing right behind the axe-headed girl.
The axe fell with the force of a raging wind, and the axe-headed girl desperately dodged.
Rein swung his axe silently, scattering Wind Blades, and the church's floor was marked with dense cuts.
The axe-headed girl twisted and turned amidst the barrage of Wind Blades, inwardly shocked.
If it wasn't for being within her Domain, if they were outside, perhaps just one encounter would have been enough for him to slay her.
But this also demonstrated the strength of the Divine Kingdom from another perspective.
The axe-headed girl's situation was terrible; not only did she have to face the powerful Rein, she also had to avoid the Thorn Iron Wire that filled the sky.
Under the combined assault of Rein and Alesha, the axe-headed girl's defeat was evident.
The axe-headed girl suddenly roared, forcefully breaking through the barrier constructed by the Thorn Iron Wire Mesh, and pounced towards Alesha.
The sharp Hook Scythe swung down, carrying a terrifying aura of death with it.
The Hook Scythe stopped less than ten centimeters from Alesha's head, the dense Thorn Iron Wire entangling it, restraining both the scythe and the axe-headed girl in the air.
Rein, of course, wouldn't miss such an opportunity; he shouted forcefully and hurled the Storm Axe in his hand.
The Storm Axe spun, carrying ferocious power, and grazed above the axe-headed girl's head, splitting her head in two in an instant.
The axe-headed girl struggled desperately, her split head trying to close back together, but the Thorn Iron Wire entwined her head, preventing the wounds from healing.
More Thorn Iron Wire burrowed into the wound, piercing in and out of the axe-headed girl's body, weaving into a steel blossom.
Rein watched as victory was secured, quietly heaving a sigh of relief.
With his extensive combat experience, he could tell that the axe-headed girl being able to break through the Thorn Iron Wire Mesh was because Alesha was deliberately luring the enemy deep in order to secure victory in one fell swoop.
However, such a tactic had one major flaw: it required one to use themselves as bait.
Rein wondered why Alesha would take such a huge risk. Even if she hadn't done so, and the fight had continued, victory would still have been theirs.
What made Alesha take such a risk? After all, if the plan had failed, the situation could have been reversed instantly.
Alesha appeared to be in a great hurry; what was the other side so eager to do?
What do you think?
