"I thought so... the traces of black mana are in the Zenith church." Jasmine sighed.
Making a holy chimera needed three components, first would be a human sacrifice. Next, there would be a chimera creator that would lead the experiment. And finally, a high ranked priest that can infuse holy energy. Jasmine knew of only one high ranked priest in the area, that would be the Bishop.
"Hmm, Ras and the knights should be able to deal with the laboratory. So," Jasmine smiled, "I'll just have to deal with the Bishop~"
Jasmine tied her ribbon on, attaching her usual amulet on. She had informed that she would go outside for the day, excusing her from her daily tasks.
"Once the Bishop's dealt with," Jasmine put on her cloak, "It'll be checkmate~!"
"It's time!" The Bishop cackled, "That orphan is going to be a holy knight!"
He stuck his hand through a mirror, it was actually a portal. He reached out, trying to grab Ricky who was just standing on the other side of the portal.
"You're going to be playing with me~" He heard a voice hiss behind him, putting a hand on his shoulder.
The Bishop turned around, dark purple threads looped around his arms, pulling his arm back, unable to reach Ricky. The black threads swung him back, thrusting him onto the ground.
"How dare you?! Who are you?!" The Bishop looked around the room.
Jasmine sat on a table with her legs crossed, revealing only her boots, high thighs, and a creepy smile.
"Gosh~ How rude~!" Jasmine smiled.
"A black magician?!" The Bishop was shocked, "Ah! I see! You were the monster who killed the holy knight!!"
Jasmine only responded by hopping off the table and placing her hand on her hip, smiling childishly. This gesture only pissed off the Bishop more.
"How dare you get in the way of my plans!!" The Bishop activated his ability, clapping his hands together, "I'll let you feel God's wrath!!"
The Bishop summoned a large magic circle on the floor, activating Battle Sanctuary. This magic was an ability that strengthened a priest's ability many times. If it's a sanctuary created by a Bishop, then it would be much more powerful than the average priest. One more effect of the sanctuary was that black magic severely weakened, basically disabling black magic.
"I'll end your life quickly you little bitch!" The Bishop summoned magic, forming it around his hands.
With the magic surrounding his hand, he dashed towards Jasmine aiming a jab towards her head. The attack narrowly missed her when she tilted her head to the side, drawing a bit of blood from her neck. This quick attack surprised jasmine a bit.
"I'll use you as an offering as well!!" The Bishop launched a blast of magic right as Jasmine's chest.
"Is that all you can do?" Jasmine appeared behind him.
"What?!" The Bishop turned around.
Jasmine looked down at him with disappointment, with her eyes glowing bright purple. Her hood had fallen down because of the wind of the last attack the Bishop had used. Her long emerald hair spilled out of the cloak.
"Welton?!" The man was scared.
Jasmine walked closer to him, activating more of the purple threads, constricting the Bishop's hand, disabling the Bishop's holy energy.
"How are you able to use black magic in the sanctuary-"
"Sanctuary?" Jasmine glared at the Bishop, "Look again~"
Jasmine tightened the black threads, making blood splurt out of the Bishop's wound. Soon, the sound of crunching bones could be heard.
"AHHHHH!!!" The Bishop screamed in agonizing pain.
The Bishop looked around at his surroundings, the Battle Sanctuary was shattered due to the black magic Jasmine used. The black magic slowly absorbed the holy energy away from the sanctuary.
"IMPOSSIBLE!! HOW COULD BLACK MAGIC DEFEAT HOLY-"
"Oh dear, please give me some Silence." Jasmine sighed.
Jasmine put her hands together, summoning more black magic. She flung the Bishop back against the wall, making him cough up blood. Jasmine then proceeded to lower herself so she could speak to the crumpled up Bishop.
"I have a lot of questions that I'll need you to answer, could you do me that favor?" Jasmine smiled.
"Do you really think that I'll tell you anything?!" The Bishop shouted at Jasmine.
"Ha... well it was worth a shot. So, don't get me wrong here." Jasmine's pupils became smaller, glaring at the Bishop, "I don't need your permission at all."
Jasmine summoned a purple magic circle, directing it toward the Bishop. Then, she pressed her fingers against the Bishop's forehead, stabbing her nails into his flesh.
"I'll just open up your brain." Jasmine smiled.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!" The Bishop screamed in agony.
Jasmine's magic circled all around her. The Bishop's eyes were bloodshot, he was clenching his teeth, attempting to resist the pain. He coughed up blood as more and more dripped down his face.
"LINCOLN(the Bishop), YOU USELESS BASTARD!!!" The chimera creator flung a test tube against the wall, shattering it to pieces, "JUST WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!! THE EXPERIMENT IS GETTING DELAYED!!!"
"I'll go take a look." The priest beside him hurried away to find the Bishop.
The chimera creator summoned a tentacle from the ground, stabbing the priest through the stomach, making him fall to the floor.
"You're way too slow!!! Every single one of you, you're all moving too damn slow!!" The chimera creator was furious.
He looked above, noticing a presence above. He panicked at these presences.
"DAMMIT!! LINCOLN WAS FOLLOWED!!"
Sir Ras and his party were wearing cloaks, blocking their faces. They stopped at a bookshelf, looking for a way to find the chimera creator.
"I feel a breeze coming from the back." One of the shadow knights informed Sir Ras, "There's something behind this bookshelf."
Sir Ras looked at all the books on the shelf. He noticed one that looked newer and cleaner. He pulled the book out, right after, the book shelf shifted to the side, revealing a staircase leading to a location lower.
"The air smells pretty bad..." Sir Ras observed, "Everyone, be prepared." Sir Ras drew out his sword.
Suddenly, a chin burst out, targeted towards Sir Ras. He blocked it with his sword, swinging it away.
"What's with this power?" Sir Ras observed that the power was stronger than the average human.
Another chain was whipped out, this time knocking sir Ras back a bit.
"Sir!" One of the shadow knights ran over to him.
"It's alright, I think we've come to the right place." Sir Ras balanced himself by putting a hand on the floor.
"It's a chimera..."
