Chapter 55: Siege on the Rotten Bones Church II (1/2)

“How quiet. It seems that our believers have exterminated those pests that dare challenge the might of our church.” Zaccarah said after hearing no sound from outside the hideout.

“Those humans have strange abilities, but they’re too weak. They had no chance against the loyal believers of our Lord in the first place.” Urgat said matter-of-factly. “Putting that aside, I feel uneasy for some reason. Now go do the things I told you to do before those large churches get wind of our plans. It would be hard to do it under their scrutiny.”

“Understood, your Venerable One,” Zaccarah replied respectfully.

“Oh Zaccarah, I understand your uneasiness, but what we have done up to this point will not be for naught,” Urgat consoled as he smiled, but it seemed terrible due to his ghastly visage. ” Once we have the hearts and marrows of a thousand infants, then we will have nothing to fear! One day, Rotten Bones will walk this land again.”

As the archbishop was about to break into a full-on speech, the door burst open again, attracting his attention.

“Did you just say the hearts and marrows of a hundred infants? What a scoundrel to stretch your filthy hands toward the weak! I will smite you heathens in the name of just… Argh!”

Marni struck a cool pose, but before he could finish speaking his heart was impaled with an obsidian beam of light and he disappeared into specks of light. 1

“Wait, didn’t our tanks activate their aggro skills? Why did the boss attack Marni first?”

“Who knows, he probably has an aura that attracts the attention of bosses 100% of the time.”

The players bantered nonchalantly as they started to attack the two remaining enemies in the hideout.

Urgat glanced casually at the players, letting down his guard when he realized there were only around twenty of them.

“You dare challenge us with such few numbers? How foolish!”

As he said so, he raised his bony arm to buff Zaccarah. In fact, Zaccarah was the weakest out of the three Black-Robed Bishops, acting as more of a strategist that focused on behind the scenes work rather than fighting in the fray, and so he was only marginally stronger than the high-tier believers.

But would the players that had anticipated this let the archbishop do this?

The next moment, a warrior player sped over to Urgat and threw down his weapon that looked like an orange fruit knife, grabbing the archbishop and throwing him into a suplex!

If Urgat were a Saint or a Saintess, or had he become a pope with the blessing of his god, then he would have been able to be immune to the suplex that could only have worked under the Rule of Skills.

Unfortunately, he was only an archbishop at this point so he could not escape the effects of the skill, being thrown into a suplex immediately.

The skill itself did not cause much damage to him, but the extravagant robe that he was wearing flipped over like a noblewoman’s crinoline, revealing his skinny legs that looked like chopsticks.

This immediately made the boss that originally had an air of dignity become somewhat comedic…

“How dare you…” The archbishop that had released himself from the hold of the player’s suplex lost his former cool, shuddering in humiliation as he shot deathly rays towards the players. “Now die!”

But even then, his reactions had been predicted by the players. Except for Marni who had just revived and arrived at the doorway, the other players all evaded this attack by dodging out of the way.

Along with the wails of Marni screaming that his buffs were wasted again, Urgat calmed down a little.

He realized that the players seemed to be preventing him from casting Rotten Bones Enhancement onto Zaccarah.
