Since Nemesis Order's Leader had already spoken that they would stay here and protect the angels, Steven Roger and the Spectral Squad's leader had little to no choice left than to stay here.

Soon, the Angels felt their bloodline finally dealing with the irritating poison in their blood. They had managed to regain control over their bodies.

However, they didn't immediately get up and attack these humans. They planned to recover more of their Holy Ardor before launching a surprise attack on these humans.

20 seconds passed, and the Angels suddenly created Holy Spears in their hands to attack the Steven Roger and Spectral Squad's Leader.

These two Angels didn't target the Nemesis Order's Leader because he had already been charmed by them. His assistance would be helpful against these warriors.

Steven Roger was shocked to see these Angels attack him. This was out of his expectations.

While he was thinking this, he had also backed away while dodging a thrust from an Angel.

The Spectral Squad's leader wasn't so lucky, though. He was standing quite close to the angels' location and couldn't react to this sudden attack from Angels.

It wasn't just Steven Roger or his comrades who were shocked. Even Shun in the mansion was extremely shocked when he saw this scene.

He hadn't anticipated that the angels would actually attack Steven Roger even after they had protected them from the assassin's attacks.

At this point, the Pope shouted, "Follow the angels' lead and kill them all!"

With that shout, the Radiant Church's clerics hesitantly readied their techniques and attacked!

When Edwin and Siluca saw that the Radiant Church had still attacked the Roger Dukedom, the two were relieved.

Edwin then spoke, "Although there were surprises along the way, it appears that the result will remain similar to what I envisioned."

"Mhm~!" Siluca nodded happily.

She then turned her body around to face Edwin. She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest.

Edwin placed his hand over her back and whispered to her, "Let's return now. There is nothing left to see here."

"Mhm~ Alright," Siluca was quite obedient as she stood up and began to fly towards the Walsh Dukedom together with Edwin.

Edwin's guess was right. There truly was nothing left to see.

It was because the two Roger Dukedom's experts had returned to Steven's side and joined him in the fight against the two Angels.

The two Angels hadn't recovered completely.

They had barely regained 50% of their power. Meanwhile, the 6 Star Warriors on Steven's side were at their full strength, excluding the Spectral Squad's leader.

The Nemesis Order's leader had now regained his senses as he realized he had been charmed by the Angels.

He was quite angry and immediately attacked them.

Two drained angels vs. four fully powered 6 Star Warriors. The situation was in Steven Roger's favor completely.

Moreover, this was excluding the hidden killing intent array he had already prepared on the ground.

This Array was merely 5 Star Array. However, it could boost a 6 Star Warrior's Ardor density by a significant amount. It would be more than enough for these four warriors to kill these Angels.

Steven Roger won't trust these Angels, so he wouldn't try to hold back and attack them with his full strength.

As all the humans fought against these two angels and revealed their trump cards, they severely injured them.

At that time, the two angels considered creating a portal and leave through it. However, their bodies suddenly paused, and they had a pale expression. They felt a sudden burst of poison in their bodies.

It was too shocking.

The poison was also too effective. They couldn't move their bodies. And Steven Roger killed one of them while the other was beheaded by none other than the Spectral Squad's Leader.

The Spectral Squad's Leader's attack was so strong that even if the Angel could use her Holy Ardor, she would still die by that attack.

The Spectral Squad's Leader had sacrificed a part of his lifeforce to use that attack. That attack's sharpness was beyond any defensive ability the two angels knew.

Once the two angels fell, the Radiant Church's clerics scattered.

Steven Roger didn't pursue them. He allowed them to run away. The entire scene was visible to the Roger Dukedom's public.

If they saw that the Roger Dukedom was now pursuing a weak enemy, they might even look down on the Roger Dukedom.

Thus, they had shown that they were allowing these Radiant Church clerics to run away.

In reality, most of them were going to be recaptured by his men. Steven Roger planned to interrogate them and find out the details of what had occurred and why the Radiant Church thought of Roger Dukedom as their enemy.

What Steven Roger didn't know was that Edwin had also assigned many warriors near the area who would kill the clerics who survived this battle.

He wanted to tell the entire Sinyalian Kingdom that the Roger Dukedom showed no mercy to the clerics and killed them down to the last man.

~~

Many citizens of the Roger Dukedom had seen what happened due to the Vision Transmission Array.

They were quite unhappy with the Angels. The Angels had attacked Steven Roger even after he protected them from Poison Archer.

They felt that the angels were too wicked. They even felt that their deaths were deserved!

However, the die-hard followers of the Radiant Church didn't share those sentiments.

In their minds, since the Angels had done, so that meant there was a profound reason behind it. Perhaps the Roger Dukedom was so evil that the Angels felt the need to harden their hearts and kill them.

Neither of the two sides knew the truth. So they were creating theories.

They were presenting some unbelievable theories to explain the actions on their sides.

The King and the other Noble Families were quite shocked as they saw this scene unfold.

When Steven Roger had returned to the mansion, he raged out at Shun, "You… Didn't you say that the Angels won't attack us after we protect them?! Why did they still attack us?!"

Shun lowered his head. He couldn't help but mutter out, "I don't know."

"You don't know?!" Steven Roger appeared to have become even angrier at that response.

Shun winced at the loud tone. But he wasn't angry at Steven Roger. He was the one who had made a mistake.

"…I don't know why the angels attacked you. However, your action to protect the angels wasn't in vain."

"If you hadn't done so, even your own citizens would have looked down on you for using an assassin to kill the Angels. At that time, the Roger Dukedom's reputation would be ruined. However, the situation is different now."

"The angels were the ones who attacked you even after you saved them. People of your territory witnessed that sight. They know who is in the right. Thus, your popularity among them has increased greatly. As for those die-hard followers of the Radiant Church, they were going to hate you anyway. We already accounted for them when making the plan, so the losses aren't as significant as you think."

Shun gave a brief explanation from his end. This did calm down Steven Roger. Even though the losses to the Roger Dukedom weren't so significant, Shun was still extremely furious at himself.

He had created a plan where he had to sacrifice some innocent people to stop that Demon God from accomplishing his objective, and he had failed! He was extremely angry at this failure.

Shun added with a frown, "However, the one who has greatly benefited from this is none other than the Walsh Dukedom."
