My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 513 - 30: Black Sun

"Such arrogance."

Above the sea.

The Empowerer of the Mujin New Church glanced at the map’s location and then mocked, "Are you so confident in your judgment? What if the Celestial Strategy Mansion is merely overconfident because of their Celestial Punishment Weapons, thinking no one dares provoke them, and that’s why they recklessly pull people from the front lines?"

"Clearly, you left an opening there and chose to be smart, picking a line with no changes, only to run straight into the Celestial Strategy Mansion’s members?"

"If you don’t believe me, you can take your people to that open line."

The man in the Divine Master’s Robe turned his head: "You can take your people and leave now; I don’t need you. Do you think I’m willing to cooperate with you?"

"Don’t be hasty, I’m afraid you’d get everyone killed."

The Mujin New Church member sneered, retorting, "After all, you fools of Ise Jingu can’t even handle a woman, yet you’re so sure Celestial Strategy Mansion can’t anticipate your move. How is anyone supposed to believe that?"

"..."

The man in the Divine Master’s Robe, upon hearing this, widened his eyes in fury but said nothing, merely raising his right hand to form a small space between his thumb and index finger.

Witnessing this, the Empowerers of Mujin New Church held their breath, then instantly flew into a rage.

"What do you mean by this? Do you want to die?!"

"Why are you so agitated? Did my little gesture hurt you?"

"You cheeky bastard! If you want to settle it here, just say so!"

"Fine."

In an instant.

Both sides bristled with tension, and the turbulent Spirit filled the sea’s surface.

However, just when both sides were about to lose their temper.

A booming, rugged voice suddenly rang out: "Well, well, well... everyone, calm down."

The once tense parties immediately shuddered, turning their heads sharply.

At that moment.

Their breaths stopped, leaving only the soft sound of waves echoing.

Because just now, not a single person... noticed anyone approaching.

Under the gaze of Ise Jingu and Mujin New Church Empowerers.

The night seemed to be tugged.

A man with a face befitting a gang member appeared from nowhere as if draped in the night, then slowly walked toward the tense groups.

He was a black man in his thirties, with a shaved head and a chin full of stubble, featuring a face full of muscle.

His body matched his face, with bulging muscles, a burly frame, and arms thicker than most men’s thighs.

This person fully embodied most ordinary people’s image of a gangster from head to toe.

... If he wielded a TEC-9 or a vintage Chicago Typewriter, it would be even more fitting.

However, the people of Ise Jingu and Mujin New Church were not so ignorant and immediately recognized this man.

Contrary to his appearance.

This man was not a gangster but a devout believer, so devout that he could touch Mosaic Law and receive the King’s Staff’s authorization.

Initially, when Wu You explained Church System Empowerers and the levels of sheepskin paper to Chen Lusi.

He once mentioned.

Sheepskin paper scripture has several tiers, with the highest being the ’Original Draft,’ also known as the ’Gospel,’ and the lowest being the ’Copy.’

In between, there is another tier called ’Holy Words.’

These are created by Church System Empowerers with extraordinary talent who are dissatisfied with existing Techniques or create their own. They go to the Church to request completely blank ’Original Draft’ sheepskin paper and attempt to inscribe their created or modified Holy Words, giving birth to advanced scriptures.

Wu You said those who attempt to write ’Holy Words,’ if successful and resonate, prove themselves sanctified and devout, worthy of standing by God’s side... The Russian Orthodox Church calls these people ’Saints,’ while the other two factions call them ’Holy Coffin Knights.’

In fact.

He was only half-right.

It’s one of the Roman Catholic Church’s ’Holy Coffin Knights’ prerequisites but not all.

Besides penning ’Holy Words,’ becoming a ’Holy Coffin Knight’ requires touching Mosaic Law, gaining approval, and receiving the King’s Staff’s authorization.

That’s the true meaning of becoming a ’Holy Coffin Knight.’

The term Holy Coffin Knight indicates—a person who can inscribe their name on the back of the Law, be entombed in a coffin symbolizing sanctity and honor, and be buried beneath the Holy Sepulcher Church in Jerusalem.

To become a Holy Coffin Knight, strength is one aspect; devout faith is another.

According to their internal sayings, Holy Coffin Knights are the Church’s blades, devout believers, glorious knights, and even in death, they stand by and serve the Lord as ’Saints.’

The man before them, who looked like a gangster, was one of the few Holy Coffin Knights of the entire Roman Catholic Church—Black Sun, Igri Saba.

"Don’t be nervous."

Igri Saba, looking at the silent Ise Jingu and Mujin New Church Empowerers, stood before them, smiling, "I just want to remind you, though you are heretics, you are still God’s children... And naive, ignorant ones stray from the righteous path, bringing themselves to ruin; those who are self-satisfied and foolish will ultimately destroy themselves."

"...Understood."

Hearing his words.

Seeing the menacing smile on that dark face.

The people from Ise Jingu and Mujin New Church, while just recently boiling with anger, instantly calmed down, slightly adjusted their demeanor, and then bowed slightly toward Igri Saba: "Saint."
