Chapter 300: Future Trouble (Part 1)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The black bishop walked around the tree, thinking that Saleen had lost all ability to resist. He clutched the metallic thorn and prepared to kill Saleen. At this point in time, Saleen was in intense pain because of the clash between the two types of divinity inside his body. The gift of life from the Goddess of Myers had expelled the divinity of the Lord of Glory, and this clash resulted in intense pain.

Even though the pain could not be reduced, Saleen would have fainted long ago if he had not been so used to tolerating pain. Even so, Saleen could not move his body at all.

The black bishop was engulfed in the white light. When he came around the tree, he saw that Saleen was encompassed in a green glow which emanated outwards. That green glow went into a head-on clash with the white light on his body, producing immense popping noises.

“Ah…” The black bishop also groaned in pain. This skill, whereby the divine light enveloped the bishop’s body, enabled the bishop to ignore any low-level spells. Only spells which were level-4 and above would be able to harm him. The black bishop had never thought that the divine light would ever become so hot that his skin was nearly roasted.

All this had happened because the divine light from the Lord of Glory was repulsive towards other kinds of divinity, and not because the divinity inside Saleen’s body was aggressive. The outcome would be the same when any kind of divinity came into contact with that of the Lord of Glory.

The Lord of Glory did not reveal this fact to his believers who stayed on the Myers Mainland, so the black bishop thought that Saleen was the one who was attacking. After studying divine spells for such a long time, the black bishop could immediately tell that the green glow on Saleen’s body was another kind of divine light.

“Heretic!” the black bishop hollered at the top of his voice, displaying genuine astonishment.

In the hearts of the followers of the Lord of Glory, there were no other gods on the Myers Mainland. The Lord of Glory was the only god, be it on the Myers Mainland or the other planes. The psychological impact on the black bishop, which was caused by the green glow on Saleen’s body, was no less than the first time he had ever heard god’s response.

The frosty gaze in the black bishop’s eyes became an intense fanaticism, as the mage in front of him believed in another god!

The black bishop had found that it was quite boring to participate in the mission to capture barbarians in order to produce blood cavaliers. This was an assignment delegated by the second judge in the inquisition, so he could not refuse it. But at this moment, this mage in front of him was a heretic who believed in an evil god. This made the black bishop beyond excited.

By capturing this real heretic and bringing him back, even the pope would have to recognize his contributions.

After toiling in the inquisition for so many years, the black bishop would also not be able to become a judge even if everything went smoothly. However, if he managed to capture a believer of an evil god, he could even get into the pivotal council.

The black bishop’s authority was in no way less than that of a cardinal, but all the previous popes had been selected from the pivotal council. By becoming a black bishop, he would have to remain in the inquisition for the rest of his life with no chance of further promotion. Furthermore, a cardinal not only had a chance of becoming pope, but a cardinal also had jurisdiction over all the churches in a vast diocese.

The black bishop had power over internal affairs. He had the power to sentence anyone who betrayed the Lord of Glory. However, a cardinal could control the churches and the believers. Their annual income was far more than what the black bishop received.

Saleen recovered faster than the black bishop. The black bishop did not dodge Saleen’s kick, as he could only bend his body.

Peng! Saleen felt that his leg bone was going to break. He had activated the Potency spell which was on his magic robe, but his body was not very strong. At best, it was only at the level of a high grade swordsman. With the blessing from the Potency spell, Saleen had caused the black bishop to fall onto the ground with his kick.

The black bishop had not received such a kick in years, and he rolled across the snowy ground in shame and fury. Saleen could not converge his mental power so he could not cast any spells. Meanwhile, the black bishop could not cast any divine spells at the moment, and he was also kicked by Saleen. However, Saleen knew that this was a rare opportunity. It was purely a fluke that he had managed to hit the bishop. Had they been in a head-on battle, Saleen’s chance of victory would have been far smaller.

Saleen’s right leg was in so much pain that he could not stand properly, and he knew that the black bishop was not feeling any better either because he had used quite a bit of strength in that kick, unless the black bishop had also practiced swordsmanship like his son.

Saleen tapped on the ground with his left leg before following suit and rolling forward. The divine light on the bishop’s black robe had disappeared, and when the bishop saw Saleen approaching, he became petrified. This mage must have gone through life and death experiences in the past. He actually wants to exploit this slight temporary advantage to get into a brawl with me.

If the black bishop had regained his divinity, Saleen would never ever have been his match.

Saleen did not dare let the black bishop escape as the bishop’s divinity was much scarier than he expected. If his left hand had not acted up, he would have been dead meat.

Mustering all his effort, the black bishop raised his hand and stabbed the metallic thorn at Saleen. Holy words were carved all over this metallic thorn. It was just that at this moment, the black bishop could not cast any divine spells, so those words would not increase the lethality of the metallic thorn anyhow.

Saleen tolerated his headache and swiped his left arm, having learned this technique from Sika. Now that his Potency spell had not dispersed, his left arm was like a steel rod as it clashed against the metallic thorn.

The Potency spell only provided additional strength. It could not increase the toughness of one’s body. Consequently, both parties were hurt. However, Saleen’s left arm had been transformed by the Tree of Life, so its toughness was much higher than that of the black bishop’s. Saleen’s arm was only numb from the pain. However, a cracking sound came from the bishop’s arm, as Saleen had actually broken his arm.

The black bishop howled in pain. The metallic thorn left his hand and flew dozens of meters before piercing into a tree trunk with a thud. At this point in time, the Potency spell disappeared. Without sustenance from mental power, the spells on the magic robe would only last a short while.

The black bishop was truly terrified now. He had not expected a mage to be so courageous, unlike any other mages.

Saleen was also panicking. If he had been able to use his mental power now, he would have immediately used his water flow to strangle the black bishop. However, the water flow did not have the ability to attack autonomously at the moment. Furthermore, Saleen’s mental power was in disorder and could not recover in time, so Saleen could only rely on his fists right now.

Saleen could not cast his magic, while the black bishop could not cast his divine spells. Hence, they began a fistfight on the snowy ground, and on the other side of the forest, the battle between Nailisi and the two men was becoming intense.

Nailisi crawled in the snow as the two fully constructed puppets were unable to regenerate themselves. Nailisi secretly opened two scrolls, thus releasing two swamp illusions. These two illusions could not last for a long time, but they helped create two areas which the assailants had to avoid.

With the two swamp illusions, the two men could no longer attack Nailisi at the same time. Nailisi immediately began her counterattack. She leaned forward and lunged at one of the assailants. Nailisi tried to stab at the man, but he did not bother dodging. He used his hand with the double edged blade to attack her instead.

Since the double edged blade was long while the dagger was short, Nailisi was on the losing end. However, Nailisi grit her teeth and twisted her body, dodging the blade in the nick of time, and her dragon’s tooth dagger clashed against the blade. All of a sudden, a portion of the blade became snow white in color. The dragon’s tooth dagger had released its effect. Even though the blade was a premium piece of alchemical equipment, it could not withstand that instantaneous frigidity.

Ka ba! The blade broke beneath the force of the sword aura. Nailisi had already lunged into the arms of this man, then she kicked upwards with her knee. This assailant was extremely agile. Even though his blade had broken, he did not panic. He simply took half a step back in order to dodge Nailisi’s knee.

It was as though there were no bones in Nailisi’s leg. Her leg then sprang into an upright position in that instant before kicking the assailant’s chin. Ka cha! The assailant’s chin was shattered.

The tolerance level of this assailant from the inquisition was far higher than what Nailisi had expected. If this kick had been delivered to someone else, they would have lost their consciousness in that instant. Imagine, what would the feeling be like if someone was hit in the chin by a war hammer?

After absorbing the essence from the dragon’s heart, Nailisi’s strength had already exceeded that of most grand swordmasters. Her small boots had also been refined by Lex using the bones of the dragon, making them deadly alchemical weapons.

The other assailant had already made his way around the swamp illusion when he tried to slash at Nailisi’s back. The assailant, whose chin had been shattered by Nailisi, then threw his broken blade at Nailisi, causing the blade to fly towards Nailisi’s neck in a revolving pattern.

Nailisi pounced forward. She had already severely injured this assailant, and there was no way she was going to give up this opportunity to kill him. She did not give a hoot about the attack that was coming from the rear. Her dragon’s tooth dagger simply pierced into the stomach of this seriously injured assailant.

The legs of this assailant turned into jelly and he knelt on the ground. His sword aura had protected his heart, so it did not freeze even after the attack by the dragon’s tooth dagger. Even after these serious injuries, the assailant was still fearless as he tried to headbutt Nailisi’s face.

The other assailant behind her slashed his blade downwards, going straight for Nailisi’s back. Nailisi was too engrossed in the fight. She twisted her dragon’s tooth dagger and tried to deflect the attack coming from behind.

Om!

A thunderous vibrating sound came from behind. The barbarian named Conan had finally made his move. His stone axe descended from above and went straight for the assailant’s back. The assailant heard the noise, and was not going to take it lightly. The flying axe attack by the barbarian was too powerful. The materials used to make the axe had the attribute of negating magic as well as the sword aura.

The assailant swiped his blade backwards. As his skills were more advanced than Conan’s by over one hundred times, the blade only slightly brushed against the flying axe and the flying axe was still sent flying in the opposite direction, just like how Saleen had overcome Conan’s flying axe. Even though such a technique from the barbarians was very powerful, its weakness was skilled enemies.

In this short window that was created, Nailisi had already plucked her dragon’s tooth dagger from the assailant’s stomach. Her head then crashed against the assailant’s head, producing a loud, dull noise.

This assailant had the sword aura in him. If he used his head to attack his enemy, the enemy would be knocked unconscious immediately. Unexpectedly, Nailisi had also used her head to attack him. There were two barely detectable protrusions on Nailisi’s head, and these protrusions were her horns.

A demon’s horns and fingernails were their weapons. As Nailisi’s blood was purely that of a demon, her horns were inferior in the slightest to that of a dragon’s. In that blow, Nailisi remained unharmed. However, the assailant’s head was depressed inwards as blood spurted from his face. Even so, he still did not die. He clamped his legs onto Nailisi’s legs.

The assailant at the rear lunged forward once more. He slashed his blade, going straight for Nailisi’s back.
