When Jessie returned, he realized that his peers were gloating and looking at him with hostility; the way they looked at him made him feel like he was a fish on the chopping block. After he counted the numbers, he was a bit surprised; however, he soon knew what was going on and sighed.
Did people die?
Jessie walked to Pellegrini and asked.
Tali was killed by the trap on the ground. I hope his soul could rest in peace in the God’s arms……
Pellegrini closed his eyes and prayed for the dead. Afterward, he looked at the young priest and questioned coldly,
Jessie, you need to explain yourself. Why are there traps on the path that you said is safe?
I don’t know,
Jessie answered as he lightly shook his head,
I swear that I walked on the path that I indicated is safe with my own feet.
He was really earnest.
Safe? Yuck! You are lying! You devil! You damn bastard! You are trying to kill us, right? Six of our peers had died on the path that you indicated is safe! Jessie, are you trying to kill us all? This is unforgivable!
a priest who almost died shouted at Jessie as he pointed him at the noise.
The others also slowly got closer, and some of the Holy Knights were placing their hands on the hilt of their swords.
After a sigh, Jessie turned around and asked the only Holy Knight who didn’t show any hostility towards him,
Alan, where was Tali killed?
There……
Alan pointed at the location of tragedy with his sword.
With a calm expression on his face, Jessie walked towards that location. Everyone’s attention was on his feet, and the short five seconds felt like it was more than 500 years in the eyes of these members of the Holy Church.
Jessie finally stood on the place where Holy Knight Tali was devoured by the crack on the ground, and everyone was surprised.
They were all shocked; what they anticipated didn’t occur.
Jessie stood on the street that was layered by yellow stone tiles, but that killing mechanism didn’t appear. As a breeze blew by, it fluttered Jessie’s silver hair. At the same time, the cross symbol on his black robe looked magnificent.
This scene looked impossible in the others’ eyes.
How is this possible?
The priest who accused Jessie of lying was mad. He walked towards Jessie and pushed him away; he was planning to prove his point by stepping onto the same location……
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
Boom! A huge crack appeared on the ground, and the vast suction force was about to pull this priest, who didn’t react in time, into the abyss……
Danger……
Move it!
Damn it! That death abyss!
Everyone shouted, but no one dared to help that poor priest. The chilling energy and the suction force made everyone sense their deaths, and that priest fell into the abyss……
At this moment, white Holy Power flashed, and someone quickly approached the abyss and placed his hands on this priest who was about to be pulled down.
Boom!
As this person tried to pull this priest out of the abyss, the terrifying crack on the ground finally disappeared.
That priest mostly out of the abyss, but the part of his body that was below his knees all disappeared with the abyss. The person who saved his life was the young priest Jessie.
Ah…… My legs! My legs are gone……
that priest screamed, and he looked tragic. As if his lower legs were chopped off by a sharp blade, there was a clean and smooth cut. White bones and bloody fleshes could all be seen, and blood spurted out of the wounds.
Quick! Save him!
Jessie yelled anxiously, pouring his white Holy Power into the wounds on this priest’s body; he was using [Healing Spell] and tried to help this poor priest.
What happened?
other people in the Execution Team were stunned, including Red-Robe Deacon Pellegrini. Their first reaction was not to save the injured priest but to look at Jessie in shock. Nothing was going on when Jessie stood on that location, but the crack appeared and almost killed another priest when he stood on it.

: The Influential Person and the Followers (Part Two)
It must be Jessie! He must be playing some tricks!
a Holy Knight screamed.
This time, no one was on this Holy Knight’s side. Everyone’s expression looked terrible, and this strange atmosphere made the guilty-conscious people feel like the God had abandoned them.
Pellegrini thought of something with a gloomy expression, and the silence was uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Alan’s gasp interrupted everything.
When everyone followed Alan’s eyes, they were stunned.
The white Holy Power was getting thicker and thicker around the young priest Jessie. In the end, the white Holy Power was so dense that it completely enveloped Jessie in the whiteness. This scene was shocking as everyone knew what this thick Holy Power meant.
Whoosh!
As if a bird fluttered its wings, the vague noises woke everyone up from the shock. However, what they saw next stunned them again.
A huge pair of wings really appear on Jessie’s back.
The wingspan of this pair of wings was more than 20 meters, and every single feather on the wings was visible. It was pure and beautiful! Even though it looked real and tangible, everyone knew that this pair of wings were made from the Holy Power! In fact, this was the [Wings of Bless] that only priests who reached the rank of Half Moon could obtain!
Jessie is a Half Moon Elite?
everyone felt like their worlds were turned up-side-down. Half Moon Elites were really prestigious in the Holy Church, and even Red-Robe Deacon Pellegrini was nothing in comparison. If Jessie wanted to, he could easily kill this deacon with the swing of a finger.
The little priest who had no powerful background and got pushed around by them was such a powerful entity?
The members of this Execution Team looked at each other and sweated buckets. Even Red-Robe Deacon Pellegrini who was respected by everyone on the team was surprised and regretted his behaviors.
He was only a low-level Red-Robe Deacon in the Northern Regional Church, and he didn’t have much say in the operation of the Execution Department; he was literally a follower of the prominent and influential figures in the department. This was his first time going out for a mission, and he finally got to enjoy the domination of power. He was able to command others around him, and he naturally fell in love with this feeling. However, since Pellegrini had been through a lot in the Holy Church, he was not that ignorant. He had researched every single member of his team, and there were a few of them who he had to pay attention to. However, Jessie who brought shock to him today wasn’t one of them.
From his research, Pellegrini knew that Jessie was only a priest-in-training who arrived at the Northern Regional Church one year and three months ago. Since this young man didn’t have much background and was from a remote area, he was treated like a bumpkin, and no one cared for him.
Therefore, Pellegrini allowed the members of his team to bully Jessie sometimes.
Perhaps it was because that this old Red-Robe Deacon was jealous of Jessie’s youth, or maybe the saint and holy sensation Jessie had with him made this old man who was stained by blood in the battles for power uncomfortable. Overall, just like other members of this Execution Team, Pellegrini didn’t like Jessie; this dislike was there as soon as he met this young man.
However, fate liked to play with people.
Pellegrini, who was careful all his life and never offended any influential people, offended a high-level priest after he got a taste of power. At least in the eyes of Pellegrini and other members in this Execution Team, they had indeed offended this young priest who was a Half Moon Elite!
