Chapter 677: Battles Between Sun-Cla.s.s Lords
What Lemorz said instantly brought hope to Senxi, and his eyes lit up.
"That is right! Hahahaha! Nothing is settled now! We still have an opportunity!" Senxi laughed out loud.
"You still have an opportunity, and so do we, the Black-Cloth Shrine. We can fight fairly for it! Under this situation, according to the [Code of G.o.ds], it is up to Queen Angela to decide which shrine she wants to join. Even Platini can't force Her Highness to join the Shiye Shrine," Batistuta said.
However, he sighed secretly and thought, "Lemorz sure is old and cunning; he saw through the loophole of our plan instantly. But at least we have a proper reason to resist Platini's order, and it isn't the worst-case scenario yet."
"Humph! She is only a young girl; what does she know? She can't decide on anything! We aren't going to play this game! This important decision has to be made by elders like us, and that is the best for her future," the other elder of the Shiye Shrine, Dior, said coldly.
The unreasonableness of these people made Fei infuriated, and he frowned as his murderous spirit boiled.
"Too much talking! After all, we must solve this issue with fists! Queen Angela will go with the group that has the strongest fist! Let's do it!" the mid-aged man in black who was beside Fei stated abruptly.
Fei smiled and thought, "It seems like Undead Mage Hazel Bank sure knows me the best!"
This man in black was Undead Mage Hazel Bank.
After this period of recovery, his strength had skyrocketed. Even though he wasn't back at his peak state, he could easily cover up his undead aura. In addition, after comprehending the basic G.o.dly runes, the mad scientists, Cain and Akara, leveled up the G.o.d-Fooling Badges. As long as Hazel Bank didn't use his Sun Anomaly, no one would be able to identify him through his energy attribute.
Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand frowned.
After observing Hazel Bank carefully, he asked politely, "You are……"
"I'm not famous, and I'm just a subordinate of King Alexander His Majesty," the Undead Mage said calmly.
This answer shocked the three people on the side of Northern Regional Church.
They thought that this Sun-Cla.s.s Lord in black was a master who was invited here by the King of Chambord. After all, every Sun-Cla.s.s Lord was proud and dignified. It was very rare for them to admit that they were someone else's subordinate.
However, this man in black admitted it right away.
"This is shocking! How powerful is the Chambord Kingdom?" they thought.
Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand wasn't too sure of everything now. He prepared a lot for tonight, and he felt like he didn't underestimate his opponent.
After all, even when a lion was hunting a rabbit, it would use its full strength.
However, he wasn't able to be in control of the situation in the end; his confidence was shaking.
"Since you are a n.o.body, get away from here! How dare you get involved in the internal affairs of the Holy Church? Do you want to die?" Elder Lemorz of Shiye threatened with a chilly tone.
"Hehehe, old dog, don't use that outdated threat of yours! Try me, and let me see how powerful you really are!"
How proud was the Undead Mage? When he was younger, he would kill tens of thousands of people if they offended him. In the past, numerous masters of the Holy Church died in his hand. Except for Fei, he wouldn't show his friendly side to anyone else.
A dash of black mist shot out of the Undead Mage's sleeves and turned into tens of thousands of sharp swords, targeting Elder Lemorz of Shiye.
Under the control of Hazel Bank and the effect of the upgraded G.o.d-Fooling Badge, even though this energy was chilly and gloomy, it was very different from undead energy and death energy. Therefore, even though these three masters of the Holy Church practiced holy power for many years, they couldn't identify the attribute of this black mist.
Lemorz didn't dare to be overconfident. Since his opponent was also a Sun-Cla.s.s Lord, any misstep would place him in a dangerous situation.
As he reached out his hand and straightened his dried, tree-branches-like fingers, he pushed outward. A thick silver wall made from holy power instantly appeared in front of him, and it blocked the tens of thousands of black swords five meters away from him.
Since the two of them had insane control over their energies, not a single bit of residual energy spilled into the area, so the guests on the square weren't affected at all.
As their bodies flashed, black energy flames and white energy flames appeared and entangled with each other.
The two of them used their full strength after a few test attacks, and their power gradually couldn't be controlled that well anymore; residual energy started to appear and spill into the area.
Then, they both shouted and dashed into the high sky, disappearing from people's sights.
All that people could see were the bright energy flames that were spilling into the area.
The Sun-Cla.s.s Lords were way too powerful; even the residual power was enough to destroy mountains, evaporate lakes, tear land, and crush cities.
Since they could do a lot of damage to the continent, most Sun-Cla.s.s Lords would decide to battle it out in the high sky.
"Hahaha! Since they already started the battle, we shouldn't just hang around and watch. Let's fight as well!" Batistuta laughed and targeted the other Shiye elder, Dior.
Since this was already pre-arranged, he waved his hand, and the silver holy light that came out of his hand turned into a huge judgment sword.
As he struck it down at Dior, it felt like the sky was even torn apart. He didn't hold back at all.
"Great! I always wanted to fight you! Today, I will let you know that the fall of the Black-Cloth Shrine is unavoidable! Doesn't matter what kind of fight you guys put up, it will be useless!" Dior laughed chillingly.
Without holding back, he also unleashed his mighty holy power, and it seemed like he could easily destroy the world if he wanted to. His holy power condensed into a huge circular silver shield that was about 100 meters in diameter with a lot of runes on it, blocking that judgment sword easily.
After a few strikes, the two of them also dashed into the high sky to continue their battle.
The death battles between Sun-Cla.s.s Lords happened, and it couldn't be avoided.
Right now, all the people on the ground felt like their mouths were dry, and their hearts were racing. They couldn't say a word and talk to each other.
They felt like six burning suns suddenly appeared in the sky, and even the slight auras that these Sun-Cla.s.s Lords emitted suffocated them.
As they shivered, they didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
[TL Note: Hey guys, just to clarify, these few chapters are a bit shorter by 20%ish in the raw, but there will be a few longer chapters later on to balance this out.]
