Chapter 447
Jonathan asked, “I must admit, I am quite intrigued. As a Holy Golden Knight within the esteemed
Supreme Sect, someone who is held in high regard, what led you to betray them and make your
escape?”
Yeverie nced at Torrence as she had the same question, too.
Torrence’s expression turned dark as pain crossed his features. He slowly revealed, “From my earliest
memories, I was raised within Supreme Sect. There was a group of us, children who grew up together,
and as time passed, some of us went on to be Holy Golden Knights, clerics, cardinals, and
priests. We were sent to various corners of the country to serve Supreme Sect. We were close friends.
Despite being an orphan, I felt blessed to have the opportunity to serve Theos, to live a privileged life,
to be respected by many, and to have such incrediblepanions.”
Jonathan and Yeverie exchanged a knowing nce, acknowledging the privileged life that Torrence
had experienced within Supreme Sect.
This only served to intensify their curiosity, prompting them to yearn for more insight into the
circumstances that led to Torrence’s betrayal and escape.
Torrence continued, “From a young age, the elders in Supreme Sect instilled in us the belief that Theos
was the one and only God, the most benevolent and radiant deity in the world. They taught us that by
faithfully cing our trust in Theos, we would transcend even in the face of death.”
Such teachings were not umon within the realm of religious practice.
Jonathan recognized the familiar dynamics at y. He understood that religion often revolved around
faith, and faith was the very essence of any religious belief system. It was customary for Supreme Sect
to encourage their disciples to put their trust in Theos.
Torrence continued, “Thus, I have always regarded Theos as a great, radiant, and holy presence.”
Jonathan immediately sensed something and asked, “Did you realize something that made you think
Theos wasn’t that great?”

Torrence gazed at Jonathan as hatred shed across his eyes. He replied, “Do you know something?
Theos is not the benevolent and virtuous figure she presents herself to be. In truth, she is a shrewd
ruler who maneuvered her way to the pinnacle of power. The religion she promotes serves as a means
to consolidate the faith of her disciples, allowing her to demonstrate her supposed greatness.
Additionally, she established the Drago Guards, a group entrusted with locating talented children
throughout the country and bringing them to Supreme Sect for cultivation. It matters little whether the
children are orphans or have families. The Drago Guards would take them away, covertly disposing of
their families regardless of the families’ consent.”
Upon hearing Torrence’s ount, Jonathan couldn’t help but think about Lah and the striking
parallels between her experiences in the Divine Realm and Supreme Sect that Torrence described.
Jonathan became despondent when he thought of Lah.
Lah had hidden within the Eara Gate as she was upset with the Divine Realm.
Both the Divine Realm and Supreme Sect pretended to be kind, yet beneath that fa?ade resided a
merciless and ruthless essence.
Jonathan asked solemnly, “Torrence, were your parents murdered by the Drago Guards?”
Torrence replied, “The existence of the Drago Guards is Supreme Sect’s biggest secret. I stumbled
upon their existence by chance during a mission, and I managed to track down and interrogate one of
the Drago Guards, which led me to uncover their hidden secret. Through my investigations, I gradually
unraveled the truth. I consider myself fortunate in this regard, as I happened to be an orphan.”
After a brief pause, he continued, “Nevertheless, I can no longer bear the hypocrisy of Supreme Sect.
From as far back as I can remember, I took great pride in being a disciple of Supreme Sect. However,
my faith has been shattered upon uncovering the dark secret of the Drago Guards. I can no longer
remain within the confines of the sect. Moreover, it is only a matter of time before the higher-ups
discover my investigation into the Drago Guards. Given that the Drago Guards are their most closely
guarded secret and havemitted numerous crimes, they would not hesitate to eliminate me. They
have been relentlessly pursuing me to prevent the truth from being exposed to the public. I believe they
have covered their tracks extensively, making it nearly impossible for outsiders to uncover anything
should an investigation take ce now.”
Jonathan pointed out, “However, it doesn’t appear that Supreme Sect is going all out to eliminate you.
Moose and others may have the ability to kill you, but it would prove challenging for them. If your
betrayal is truly regarded as a top priority by the sect, why haven’t they unleashed their full force to
apprehend you? I believe they have the capability to do so.”
Torrence rified, “My betrayal is a deep disgrace to Supreme Sect, and it is also a well-guarded
secret. They haven’t exposed it to the public, ensuring that no one else is aware of it. Therefore,
Supreme Sect must maintain a low profile. Additionally, Moose possesses numerous concealed
weapons, making it effortless for them to eliminate me. If you hadn’t arrived unexpectedly, I would have
already met my demise.”
“Moose have other secret weapons?” Jonathan asked. “I checked his storage ring but didn’t discover
anything special.”
Torrence borated, “The magic gem was his hidden weapon. He likely possessed other distinctive
spells as well, although he didn’t have the opportunity to utilize them since you defeated him. Supreme
Sect had confidence in his ability to eliminate me.”
Jonathan nodded. “I see. After all, his Fire Phoenixes nearly took your life.”
Torrence continued, “Thus, the averted crisis owes much to luck, primarily because you killed Moose. If
you hadn’t gained his trust and happened to be by his side, it wouldn’t have been so easy for us to
eliminate them. The presence of a Magician is extremely terrifying.”
Jonathan replied, “That’s right. In the main world, the first target we aim to eliminate in an e-sports
game is usually the wizard!”
“What is an e-sports game?” Torrence was baffled.
Jonathan chuckled. “Well, it’s something from the main world. You wouldn’t understand even if I exin
it to you.”
Hearing that, Torrence stopped pursuing the matter.
Jonathan eximed, “Let’s see if Moose’s storage ring holds any of those valuable items you
mentioned.” He then proceeded to search through Moose’s storage ring.
Shortly after, Jonathan found three different spells.
He spread the three spells out and asked, “Are these the spells you talked about? By the way, how did
you know Moose had these in possession?”
Torrence nodded in agreement. “Indeed, Supreme Sect must have carefully selected and equipped
Moose for his mission. They have ess to many skilled Magicians who would have provided him with
powerful spells. Although I don’t fullyprehend the intricacies of these spells, their mere presence in
Moose’s possession indicates their effectiveness and value.”
He added, “If Moose used these spells directly, it would be useless to threaten him. If he did that, I
would be dead by now.”
Jonathan smiled and replied, “The development of certain events may seem coincidental, but in reality,
they are inevitable. Moose was a cautious person, and he wouldn’t have unleashed his strongest attack
on you without being certain of its sess. It was his personal habit. Little did he know that I would
strike him from behind. In fact, if it weren’t for you saving me earlier, I would never have intervened.
There were no signs or reasons for me to do so.”
Torrence nodded slightly as he knew Jonathan’s words made sense.
Yeverie couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked, “Mr. Lawson, what are these spells?”
Jonathan’s lips curled. “Let me take a look. Perhaps they can save our lives when we’re in danger.”
There were a total of three spells, and their quality surpassed that of fire talismans.
Jonathan selected a blue spell and held it, closing his eyes to sense it.
The incantation within the spell was mysterious, and only Magicians could crack it.
For example, when it came to the fire talisman, Moose, being a Light Magician, couldn’t sense any fire
elements. Therefore, he could only unleash the fire elements by reciting the incantation.
Jonathan, on the other hand, might not know any incantations, but he couldmunicate with fire
elements and ignite the fire talisman.
As for the other spells that weren’t of light elements, Moose would have to chant the incantation to
activate them.
However, Jonathan had to rely on his own tomunicate with the elements.
After understanding the blue spell, he sensed that it was a water elements spell.
However, he didn’t attempt to unleash the water elements. Instead, he established a connection with
the water elements, seeking to understand the purpose and functionality of the spell.
Soon, Jonathan perceived the condensed water elements within the spell, and their power was
remarkably potent.
He could sense that activating the blue spell would unleash a fierce torrent of water elements,
manifesting as one thousand and eighty-eight ice swords soaring through the air, targeting the enemy.
Jonathan immediately exined what he saw to Torrence.
“I know. This spell is called Aurora’s Praise, and it was created by an elder named Jayron,” Torrence
swiftly responded.
Jonathan broke into a smile. “This coulde in handy if we encounter another enemy. I’ll take this
spell.”
He then nced at the second spell, which was a gold one.
After sensing the spell, Jonathan realized it was a spell infused with light elements.
The temperature contained within was incredibly high. Once activated, it would unleash thousands of
golden mes, making it even more destructive than Aurora’s Praise.
Jonathan told Torrence what he saw within the spell.
To which thetter exined, “This spell is called Backlit me Magic, created by an elder named
Burdock. He is a Rank Nine Magician within Supreme Sect, known for his exceptional magic skills.”
Jonathan chuckled bitterly. “It seems like all the elders in Supreme Sect are capable, huh?”
