The one who noticed the shadow first was Debbie . The young lady grabbed the gatlin behind her back, then aimed at these black shadows and asked, “who are you?”
There were 6 shadows and everyone was surrounded by the gray illusory fog . Moreover, you can see the skeleton like figure in a clerical suit and Ye Chui could feel a cold and hostile intent coming from them . There was no doubt that they had followed Ye Chui long long ago, wanted to attack Ye Chui and showed up till now .
Ye Chui took out his Magic Wand from the Space Ring and questioned Alfea . “Are they Dark Magicians?”
“No . ” Instead of Alfea, Vivian replied . “They are Holy Spirits from the Church . ”
“Holy Spirit?” Ye Chui felt strange about how they could be Holy Spirit because they were horrifying like Dementors . He inquired Vivian, “What is a Holy Spirit?”
Alfea and Debbie also did not know what a Holy Spirit is, so they looked at Vivian with confused expression .
However, Dawkins answered this question, took out her Magic Wand and aimed at a tree in the front when Ye Chui asked . “Holy Spirit is a kind of fighting machine . Followers contribute their lives to a black Holy Bible to become beings that cannot feel pain nor fear . They follow the order of the Church . I am also surprised to know that the Church uses the Holy Spirit to arrest me . ”
“It is a fighting machine of the Church . Are you confident in winning against a Holy Spirit, Miss Dawkins?” Ye Chui did not predict that the Church choose to attack them at this moment so he asked Dawkins this question .
“A Holy Spirit is almost the same level as an Intermediate Swordsman . They can not feel pain and fear when being attacked, which makes them harder to be defeated than the average Intermediate Swordsman . As for me, they are a piece of cake to deal with . ” Dawkins stood out and prepared to release Magic Spell when she was obstructed .
Ye Chui felt relax and safe because Dawkins was protecting them from the front .

However, the Holy Spirits did not fear Dawkins even though she was powerful, one of Holy Spirit laughed with a terrible voice, and asked Dawkins . “Do you know why we began to attack you after 5 days?”
“You wanted to attack me once I went deep into the Dark Forest . ” Dawkins said that with a cool voice, followed by a series of blue light from her Magic Wand . “I knew you would attack me , you did not dare to do so because in Stan City, there was Booth . However, I know that once I was far away from Stan City, you would attack . So, I volunteered to go deep into the Dark Forest to lure you out in order to deal with all of you once and for all . ”
Ye Chui was unaware of Dawkins’ plans until now . When it was unravelled, she thought she was really cool .
The Holy Spirits laughed, “You are half right but you did not know the main reason . ”
“Shut up . ” Dawkins’ hair and attire had fluttered about and small bolts of lightning discharged from her . The withered leaf in the ground moved following the wind . Ye Chui, Debbie, Alfea and Vivian stepped back and prepared to view how Dawkins could deal with these Holy Spirits .
Meanwhile, these Holy Spirits did not retreat . Instead, they kept on approaching Dawkins .
Dawkins aggressively warned the Holy Spirits . “Though you are powerful, you are just Followers of the Church . I am a Dual Element, Rank 9 Magician . You are fleas in my eyes . I could end you with only one spell . If you want to take me in, you have better luck doing so after I am dead . ”
Suddenly, the electric light around Dawkins disappeared and she fell to the ground .
Ye Chui rushed to raise her up and asked . “What’s wrong?”
“I… I can’t release my Magic Powers… is this… a Saint Word Insect on my body?” Dawkins was surprised to find there was a Saint Word Insect on her, and it only took action once the Holy Spirits arrived .
“We placed the Saint Word Insect on Vivian, once she touches you, the Saint Word Insect will enter your body to stop you from releasing Magic Power . ” Holy Spirit made a warped smiled . “Vivian, that idiot took so long to finally manage to make contact with you . Without your powers, you can only wait for death . ”

Ye Chui, Vivian and Alfea looked to Vivian with shock .
Vivian’s face became red with shame . “I never intended to hurt Miss Dawkins . I also didn’t know there was a Saint Word Insect on my body . ”
“Vivian, if you kill Dawkins now, I will praise you when I see Scarlet Archbishop Oz . ” Holy Spirits yelled and launched an attack on Dawkins .
Debbie took the Gatling and quickly shot at them .
However, the Holy Spirits were fast . They disappeared like mist when the red steel ball rushed to them . Instead, Debbie shot the two big trees that were behind them and broke them down . Unfortunately, no Holy Spirits were hurt . The six Holy Spirits were like the ghosts who had such light bodies so that they could float in the sky and they were able to kill others easily .
Immediately, they got a chance to attack Dawkins and Ye Chui .
“Saint Word:
An illusory hand appeared and placed Dawkins and Ye Chui in its palm . Followed with the hail of bullets, Holy Spirits were stopped from approaching the two .
“VIvian, Don’t forget you are a Bishop Trainee . ” A Holy Spirit asked .
Vivian, who cast the Saint Word was enraged, “I never wanted to hurt Miss Dawkins, she is so kind . I think you have made a mistake . Please let me talk to Faria . ”
“Gee Gee Gee! Who do you think summoned us? It was Faria!” Another Holy Spirit laughed at Vivian . “Vivian, Do not regret what you did today . ”
Vivian said to Ye Chui . “Holy Spirit can not hurt me because our power comes from the same source . From our faith . Boss, I will protect you and no one can hurt you unless I am kicked out of the Church . ”

“Vivian Queselo, I, Bishop Faria, now proclaim you are expelled from the Church . ” a husky voice interrupted Vivian .
It was as though his words contained power . Everyone could feel a sense of pressure with each word he said . Once he was done, ‘Bang!’ The hands created by Vivian’s power using the Saint Words cracked and quickly disintegrated .
Vivian was quick to realize that she was truly expelled from the Church .
The six Holy Spirits were floating in the forest . One of them yelled . “ Dawkins and Ye Chui, you two will be punished by the Church . Since Vivian aided a Dark Magician and went against the Church, she will be killed at first . As for the two Swordsman,I urge you to choose where you stand carefully . ”
Alfea and Dabbie had already chosen, Debbie quickly started to shoot Holy Spirits and Alfea took on the first stance, created from the ancient tomb, ready to engage . .
“Fine . All of you will be punished by the Church . ” The six Holy spirits rushed to them yelling .
Suddenly
Intermediate Offensive Spell
Yellow Sand started to fly about and composed a sand tornado, which wrapped around all four of them . Ye Chui was hugging Dawkins with one hand, while using Magic Wand to release Magic Spell with another . These Holy Spirits wanted rushing into the sand storm, however, they were attacked by the flying sand when touching it so that they had to stay outside . Ye Chui passed Dawking to Alfea, and took out a transmission scroll from his ring and opened it . white light wrapped around Debbie, Alfea, Dawkins and Vivian .
Debbie was happy at first, but later she became upset . “The distance covered will be at most a kilometer . I don’t think we can escape from them . ”
“This Transmission Scroll will transmit them to the ancient tomb . ” Ye Chui explained .
“What about you? ” Debbie asked and found that no white light was around Ye chui .
“I will stay here . ” Ye Chui said .
“Absolutely not! you are not the Iron Swordsman . You can not defeat them . ” Debbie started to be anxious .
“Relax!” Ye Chui knew that Debbie was not willing to let him stay here . He hesitated for a while and made a decision to tell her . “Actually, I am the Iron Swordsman”
Debbie was struck speechless .
Once Alfea, Debbie, Dawkins and Vivian were fully bathed in the white light, they were transmitted to the ancient tomb . Ye Chui, who originally could leave here to avoid the disaster, chose to stay . This was because it was unlike him to turn tails and run away . This war had already begun since the Church arranged Holy Spirits to assassinate Dawkins . The Church won’t give up so that he must kill all the Holy Spirits now .
What’s more, Ye Chui was angry . And with that anger, came his will to decimate his foes .
As the tornado started to dissipate, the appearance of a man in a suit of armor came to view . In front of him were the six Holy Spirits .
When he first entered the Dark Forest with Dawkins and Vivian, he believed that it would have been absolutely safe . However, never would he have thought that in the face of danger, those two would have been the first to be wiped out .
Ye Chui drew out the long sword from his waist .
“It seemed like only the Iron Swordsman could save the world at a crucial time . ”
