《The Seven Demon Gods' Successor》Chapter 36-The Beginning of the Purge (II)

What the hell!
At this moment, whether it was the knights or the servants present within the main hall, they couldn't help but look at each other with a weird expression on their faces after hearing Mikhail’s last sentence.
They were all out words. What kinda joke was that?
When the 13th Imperial Prince said that he had uncovered the identity of the Ether Church followers that have infiltrated the Imperial Palace, they were all shocked. This was a great feat.
One of the main reasons that the Ether Church remained strong till this day was because no one knew of its location.
Aside from that, despite their followers being spread everywhere throughout the whole Antheia World, it was nearly impossible to identify them. They completely blended in with the rest of the populace.
The majority of them lived normal lives just like everyone. They had kids, husbands, and wives just like a regular person. They also had regular jobs and many of them even have high and noble status.
All these facts made it pretty hard to identify them even if they were next to you. Unless they wanted to be found or they revealed their identities, one could only dream of identifying them.
As such, when the 13th Imperial Prince stated that he had uncovered the identities of dozens of Ether Church followers, everyone was dumbstruck. This was an amazing feat.
At the same time, they all had a look of anticipation on their faces. They wanted to see the appearances of those lunatics that dared to infiltrate the Imperial Palace.
While the non-followers of the Ether Church were waiting for the 13th Imperial Princes to reveal the identity of those bastards, the true followers of the Ether Church were sweating bullets. They were all scared shitless.
They felt their entire bodies become slowly drenched in cold sweat as they thought that their covers have been blown.

However, they were all rendered speechless by the 13th Imperial Prince's last sentence. This little bastard didn't know shit.
After hearing his last sentence, they were a hundred percent certain that he didn't know who the Ether Church followers were.
He was just bluffing and asking them to turn themselves in. This was quite unbelievable.
Some of them couldn't help but shook their heads after recalling the 13th Imperial Prince's initial arrogant and confident attitude.
Did the 13th Imperial Prince believe that they would reveal and turn themselves in just because of his little threat?
At this moment, almost everyone had one thought in their minds as they were looking at Mikhail_ He's an idiot.
However, some of them still had some doubts. The 13th Imperial Prince looked too confident. It was as if everything was under his control.
Either he was an extremely good actor or he really knew the identities of the Ether Church followers within the main hall.
“It seems like you guys plan on making it difficult for me.” While everyone was still lost in thought, Mikhail slowly uttered these nonchalant and carefree words.
“I have given all of you a chance, but you chose not to take it. Now, you leave me with no choice.”He added as his cold gaze as he swept past everyone below like a poisonous snake stalking his prey.
Even though none of them believed the 13th Imperial Prince’s nonsense, they didn't dare to meet his gaze as they lowered their heads.
Finally, Mikhail's gaze stopped on a black armored knight before pointing at him with his right index finger and said.” Hey, you come over.”
The expression of the black-armored knight instantly changed after being called by Mikhail. However, it was only for an instant as he quickly hid his emotions.

At the same time, everyone around the black-armored knight immediately turned around and looked at him, their eyes showing a guarded air.
Meanwhile, the black-armored knight reluctantly walked forward one step at a time as the others made way. Though he looked calm, he was in fact extremely nervous on the inside
“Greeting Your Imperial Highness 13th Prince!” Saluted the Imperial knight with half a bow.
“What’s your name.” Mikhail coldly asked.
“My name is Isaac Albret.” Answered the Imperial knight respectfully.
“I see,” Mikhail murmured to himself as he took out a thick blue book from his spatial storage.
Without saying anything, he started flipping through its pages before finally stopped on the twentieth page of the book and said.” There you are.”
“Isaac Albret, age 35 and a 7 Star Aura Knight. You were born in the city of Atlanta and moved to the Imperial Capital at the age of 15.”
“You are married to a commoner named Niva and have three children with her. One little girl and two boys.”
“Your father and mother still live in Atlanta along with your little sister and older brother. Your sister has four kids and your older brother have two..........”
“Well, I think that’s about it,” Mikhail said nonchalantly as he closed the book after reading all the information about the Imperial Knight.
“Now Isaac, I give you two choices. first, you expose yourself as the scum of Ether Church that you are and I’ll only kill you.”
“Second, I expose you myself. However, Not only I will kill you after exposing you as a follower of the Ether Church, but I'll also exterminate your entire family and erase any traces of your bloodline in the Antheia World. Your choice.” Mikhail said with a devious smile on his face
At this point, the Imperial knight’s face became pale and white as paper after hearing Mikhail’s words.
“Your Highness, I am afraid you have the wrong person. I swear on my Knight’s honor that I am not a follower of the............”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
However, before the Imperial Knight could even finish his sentence, he saw numerous flashes of cold light which blinded his vision.
And before he could even realize what was happening, both of his arms were already severed from his shoulders including his feet.
Suddenly, the Imperial Knight's whole body was covered in blood, limbless - quite a horrifying scene.
“Ah!” He rolled back and forth in his own blood while howling like a beast.
Let alone the spectators, even the limbless Imperial Knight didn't realize when Mikhail had unsheathed his sword and attacked him. He was simply too fast for his eyes to catch up.
Nonetheless, Mikhail didn't stop there. Ignoring the painful howl of the Imperial Knight, he took out a small dagger from his spatial storage and plunged it into his chest.
He then ripped out his heart from his chest and raised it in the air for all to see.
“You see that small black worm coiling around this Imperial knight’s heart, it’s called Heart Devouring Parasite.”
“This is a parasite-type Ether Beast that every follower of Ether Church has within them. It is also the ironclad and absolute proof that one is a follower of the Ether Church.” Mikhail coldly said as he was looking at the people below.

Wisdom And Wolf
When I was twenty one I bought my first motorcycle. My only motorcycle. A Harley Davidson XLX, Sportster. Her name is Rohdindae, it comes from the Silmarillion and loosely translates to Horse of the Silent Shadows. This two wheeled mare, of iron and steel, was my sole means of transportation for almost 5 years. Rain, sleet, snow, or hundred degree heat, it didn't matter, I was in the saddle. We went all over this side of the Mississippi together. To places long forgotten by progress or filled to their capacity with humanity. Interesting word humanity, it means all off human kind in one definition, generosity and compassion in another. How often these two definitions are at bitter odds with the other, is something to be seen. These words are a mash up. Tales of the road. The people I met, stories I listened to, and the loves I saw grow, all find themselves here, mixed within these pages. From Maine to Mobile and all the places in between, where people still, somehow, cling on to the good fight. The only fight worth fighting.
