Chapter 224: Righteous Diablo
Chapter 224: Righteous Diablo
"Die!!" Skyler let out a roar as he arrived in front of Diablo with a sword.
He was already angry when Diablo was humiliating him, and now with his companion injured like this, there was no way he could stay silent, so he attacked with the intention of killing him.
However, Li Wei was already prepared and casted Arcane Sheild with an unhurried look.
*Boom!*
A loud explosion rang out in front of the church residence as Skyler's sword collided with the Arcane Sheild, forcing both a few steps back.
Watching this, Skyler was shocked as he used skill in the attack, yet there wasn't even a scratch on Diablo and he was merely forced back a few steps.
'Why is someone powerful like him here? Didn't all high-level adventures related to the church faction return to their cities?' He thought with a frown as he wondered who Diablo was.
He had been on the quest for the whole past week, and when he returned this morning, he was immediately assigned to visit Valeria City for a private task.
Because the task was simple, there wasn't any important information, not to mention the teleportation gate was already prepared long ago, so he didn't have time to collect information.
Moreover, he never thought that someone would dare to provoke the royal knights, which was why he didn't bother to collect information, making him not recognize the infamous Diablo.
Just as Skyler was shocked to see someone on par with him, Li Wei was also taken aback.
'He is strong,' Li Wei muttered in his heart as he looked at Skyler with a serious expression.
He didn't know Skyler's level because he had a high-level intrusion guard amulet, so he could only suspect he was in between level 70-80.
Nevertheless, he wasn't afraid, as his clone held eighty percent strength of the main body. Which means he can use 800k MP.
Therefore, he didn't show any fear and looked at Skyler with a provocative look.
"Why did you stop, Mr. Knight? Don't tell me you are scared after your attack didn't work on me?" Li Wei sneered as he prepared to fight with him.
"Humph! There is no use in provoking me, so drop your act and state your purpose," Skyler said with a snort as he looked at Diablo with a cold look.
Their strength was on par with each other, so there was no use in fighting him like this.
Not to mention, if he loses, he will be punished by his superiors for this. So, after considering the pros and cons, he decided to stop fighting.
Of course, he wouldn't let him go, but before he could do anything, he wanted to know why he was provoking them.
Hearing him Li Wei frowned, as he didn't expect Skyler to fear him just because he was strong.
"Mr. Knight, do you think I am easy to bully? Just because you don't have the power to defeat me, you are not willing to fight me,"
"I never thought that the crown prince's chivalry would have people like you, who bully the weak and fear the strong," Li Wei retorted with contempt as his impression of the royal family dropped.
He also concluded that this bastard would make trouble for his original identity if he found out that he was arrogant enough to cut the hands of nobles.
Of course, if he revealed his strength, Skyler would tuck his tail between his legs.
'What a rotten person!' he cursed in his mind as he looked at Skyler with cold eyes.
"You! Don't twist the wrong and right; you were the one who provoked us," Skyler responded in anger, as he felt contempt from him and even some onlookers.
'Just wait, and I will make you all pay for today's humiliation,' he thought viciously as he remembered onlooker's faces who looked at him with contempt.
His actions didn't escape Li Wei's eyes, which made the impression of the royal family directly hit the bottom of his heart.
'Only blind people will recruit a person like this,' Li Wei muttered in his heart as he snorted at him.
"Twisting right and wrong? I think only a royal knight like you can do this; after all, you are better than me at abusing power and status for benefits."
"You were even trying to kill me before, but it was a pity as I was stronger than you imagined, which is why you are tucking your tail between your legs," Li Wei countered with a contemptuous look as he exposed him.

Hearing him, the onlookers felt that Skyler was the villain here and Diablo was the hero.
"I think Diablo is right," someone commented.
"Yes, I agree with you, and I also think Diablo isn't evil. After all, he tried to kill hero Bai Feng because he was trying to force a girl to love him with his hero status."
"Also, the reason he castrated someone was because they provoked him first," a person said, placing his views in front of others.
"You are absolutely right! That hero Bai Feng isn't someone good and must have provoked Diablo in the high-level forest area; that's why he got castrated," someone replied.
Soon a chain reaction followed, and their view of Diablo changed.
Li Wei, who heard them, became dumbfounded. He never thought that Diablo would someday become so righteous, even more than his original identity, because there was only one faction here and they all supported Diablo.
'Basterd, these people are jealous of me because I am better than them,' he cursed inwardly, as he knew they supported Diablo because he was alone, unlike him, who has beautiful party members.
Just as he was busy with his thoughts, Skyler also heard the talk of onlookers.
However, he wasn't angry at all but happy instead.
'So, you tried to kill a hero; no wonder you're so arrogant,' he thought as a vicious look flashed in his eyes.
Meanwhile, inside the church residence, Alessia and Li Wei witnessed everything with the special screen in front of them.
"Mr. Li, what do you think of Diablo?" she questioned with a frown as she tried to think if Diablo was also involved in the kidnapping of her dear cousin Irene.
"Miss Alessia, honestly, I have a good impression of him because he tried to kill my friend's enemy," Li Wei replied as he displayed favorability towards Diablo.
Hearing him Alessia frowned again but didn't say anything, knowing he was at odds with Bai Feng.
'Diablo and Lucifer, why do I feel like they are the same person?' She thought with a deep frown as she recalled how Diablo castrated a person who harassed her cousin.
'If they are really the same, then it would make sense for Diablo to do this,' She muttered in her heart and glanced at Li Wei with a deep look.
Li Wei felt a shiver down his spine and was about to ask when he heard a roar.
"Diablo! How dare you try to kill a hero and appear before me? I know I am not strong enough, but even if I have to die here today, I will kill you in the name of justice!" Skyler roared with madness, making everyone stunned.
