LRAB Chapter 57 Luo Jia's Walking Stick
Chapter 57 Luo Jia's Walking Stick
After being repeatedly nagged by Cole Fallon and Irebas, Luo Jia turned around, his solemn and indifferent face filled with a chilling coldness.
His voice was indifferent yet left no room for argument:
"My foster father and my chief priest, you pray together to the Emperor, and I will examine your faith."
Cole Fallon and Irebas exchanged glances, but without much thought, they did as instructed, bowing their heads in devout prayer before the solemn and imposing imperial statue in the center of the hall.
After the prayer was finished, Cole Fallon, looking eager, spoke first:
"Luojia, my adopted son, shouldn't we banish Chief Li Wei back to Qianzi? We, the Word Bearers, have no need for those evil sorcerers..."
Before he could finish speaking, a blazing golden beam of light suddenly shot towards him, and everything went black instantly; he lost consciousness.
"This..." Irebas, who was frozen in place, saw Luo Jia with a solemn and sorrowful expression. With a wave of his hand, a dazzling golden light instantly annihilated his adoptive father, and the power armor turned into golden dust that scattered all over the sky.
He was so frightened he nearly fainted, and immediately knelt down on both knees, urgently shouting:
"Primarch, do not believe the slander of the Thousand Sons. They are certainly up to no good and are trying to undermine the faith of the Word Bearers."
Standing to the side, Li Wei also watched in astonishment as Luo Jia executed his adoptive father, Cole Fallon, on the spot, fearing that Luo Jia would brutally execute Irebas again.
Because he suddenly realized that Cole Fallon was Luo Jia's adoptive father and Eribas was the chief priest of the Word Bearers. Both of them had extremely high status and prestige, so the Word Bearers legion must have been infiltrated and corrupted by the two of them and filled with Chaos believers.
He wanted to save Eribus's life, then torture him to extract the list of Chaos Followers and eliminate them from within the Word Bearers.
Then he heard that the dying Irebas still dared to slander him, so he gave up trying to persuade him, was completely speechless, and didn't want to interfere anymore.
Having just executed her adoptive father, Luo Jia, consumed by grief and despair, hears Eribas's slander once again.
He slowly withdrew the floating power of faith around him, walked slowly to Eribas's side, and said coldly:
"Lord Li Wei, from now on you will be an honored guest of my Legion of Word Bearers, and you, a follower of the evil god, dare to slander my honored guest and dear friend."
Eribus abruptly looked up, staring incredulously at his Primarch, his eyes filled with resentment as he pointed at Levi, who was silently observing the situation, and roared:
"Primarch, I am not convinced. Why do you trust an outsider instead of your own loyal offspring?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed tremblingly at the golden dust of Cole Fallon that was about to completely dissipate into the air not far away, and asked in grief:
"That's your adoptive father, how could you do that?"
Luo Jia looked in the direction Iribas was pointing, but the familiar figure was no longer there.
His eyes were slightly red, but his tone was extremely cold as he said:
"You don't believe in the Emperor at all. Your prayer just now has completely exposed your hypocrisy and betrayal."
As soon as he finished speaking, two strands of jet-black faith power quietly appeared in his hand.
At the same time, two malicious whispers suddenly echoed.
"What power does an emperor have? He is just a mortal false god. Let me pray that serving Chaos is the truth."
This whisper was a curse in Cole Fallon's heart.
"Chaos will last forever, emperors are but illusions."
This whisper is Irebas's inner obsession.
Hearing the echoing voice in his ears, Irebas turned pale and roared:
"This...how is this possible, Primarch? This is absolutely a lie fabricated by that wizard Li Wei using psionic energy! Don't believe it!"
Li Wei sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead. He hadn't expected that even after things had come to this, Irebas would still throw dirty water on him.
However, what he was more curious about was whether Luo Jia's control over the power of faith had reached this level.
It was only through a simple prayer that Eribus and Cole Fallon offered to the Emperor that their false faith could be examined.
After Luo Jia fully awakened the essence of the subspace, his skill in using the power of faith was probably unmatched even by emperors.
While Li Wei was distracted, Irebas continued to roar and frantically defend himself.
"I am utterly loyal to the Emperor!"
"Li Wei framed me!"
......
Unable to tolerate the incessant chatter any longer, Luo Jia, his body surging with rich golden faith power, raised his hand and a thicker golden beam of faith light landed precisely on Irebas.
Within the pillar of light, Erebas, who should have brought warmth and salvation through the power of faith, suddenly let out a piercing scream and trembled violently.
Black, chaotic filth constantly emanated from his body, and his flesh was burned away bit by bit until only a pale skeleton remained.
At this point, Irebas finally gave up, violently lifting his face, which was now covered only with bits of flesh and blood, and laughed maniacally:
"Luojia, you're a coward, a hypocrite. Your adoptive father was a cultist, yet you killed him so easily. But you tortured me in every way. You don't deserve to be a loyal follower of the Emperor. Haha, you coward..."
Irebas's vicious curse made Luo Jia, whose face had been cold, turn pale. Irebas had hit the nail on the head.
Cole Fallon was, after all, his adoptive father, and he couldn't bring himself to torture him; he could only grant him a quick death to lessen his suffering.
But in the next instant, Luo Jia's pale face regained its cold composure, and he said expressionlessly:
"Since you remain unrepentant, then you shall live forever in the scorching flames of the Imperial Faith."
Before he finished speaking, he bent down and grabbed the spine of Eribas, who was howling in pain and convulsing in the flames.
Immediately, a scepter burning with the flames of imperial faith appeared in Luo Jia's hand.
The main body of this scepter is forged from the spine of Eribas, and at its top is a skull burning with golden flames of faith, twisting wildly and spewing out pitch-black chaotic smoke.
"This... Luo Jia is truly ruthless." Li Wei, who was watching from the side, changed his expression. He had not expected that the emperor's most devout son would be so extreme.
Luo Jia actually turned Irebas into a scepter of eternal torture, causing him to be forever burned in the flames of the emperor's faith, trapped in the torment of never being able to escape.
As for interrogating Eribus and interrogating the Chaos followers, Li Wei no longer wanted to get involved.
Luo Jia's current methods and determination are nothing for him to worry about.
He is now more worried that Luo Jia might, out of anger, carry out an indiscriminate purge of the Huaiyan people, causing the legion to suffer a major blow.
However, this is not the Thousand Sons Legion, so Li Wei could only express his helplessness and at most advise Luo Jia not to involve innocent people.
