Chapter 322: Tensions Running High (2/2)

On the other hand, when they need help over a certain purpose, they could apply certain rituals, which was akin to putting their information up on a selected channel. When the corresponding god heard that channel and received the information, they would verify if the prayer was a believer of their own, and bestow them their divine powers once no problems were found to complete the sacred arts.

It was simple why advanced rituals were more complicated as well-channels had limits, and it was only by working on specialized radio channels to fulfill wishes when there are complex categories. The original ritual would therefore be added with certain little variances to realize the functions of different sacred arts, which in turn complicates the rituals. Even so, that problem didn’t exist for Xi Wei.

With his ability to transmigrate and to build a direct connection to the Players’ belief, he didn’t have to share the congested channels of electromagnetic waves with other gods, and instead fool around on a separate blank channel he had all to himself.

Instead, what bugged Xi Wei as a god was the matter of ‘insufficient divine power’ which didn’t exist for any other god, since none of them were feeding back their believers with that much divine power.

When Edward finished casting his spell, a tremendous black inferno shot out from Happy Flames, converging and materializing into a massive dragon with crimson eyes. Its gaze was overflowing with the scent of an evil dragon, whereas its black scales reflected a metallic luster as it bellowed at the skies with stunning might.

No matter the perspective, it was a totem of fire itself-no one would believe that it was a real dragon!

And now, the black dragon was streaking downwards, unleashing a massive black fireball at the two men who were fleeing at their top speed, sack in two. The tall man’s face had gone pale—his war hammer was certainly not going to stop that fearsome attack.

On the other hand, the short man who carried the sack turned around.

He was holding a weirdly shaped buckler on his hand that emitted champagne-colored radiance, maintaining a transparent circular barrier which both men stayed behind.

Soon enough, the fireball slammed heavily into the barrier but could not break it, and was instead deflected to a nearby building.

The walls and the roof were vaporized instantly by the black flames, but the people inside were somehow fine. The family of three who were having some bacon hence stared blankly as the black dragon flew past, followed by Gou Dan and Edward, the latter of whom was being carried by Joe. “What the heck was that?” Gou Dan couldn’t help gaping. As a Level 50 skill, the fireballs that Edward’s black dragon breathed wouldn’t cause secondary damage of searing heat or explosion. It merely ‘burns’ to the extreme, and any substance touched by the black flames would vaporize immediately!

Even so, that mysterious buckler had succeeded in deflecting the entire fireball without taking so much as a scratch. “It’s either a relic imbued with a powerful sacred art, or the sacred item of a certain religion. Only something along those lines could stop my Red Eyes Black Dragon’s blast.”Edward’s face was pale. The Level 50 skill took a heavy toll, leaving his body feeling drained. “The other man’s hammer is the same-if I’m not wrong, it’s a sacred item too!”

“I’m not sure what’s happening, but this is a provocation against the Church of Games!” Joe looked extremely irritated even as he carried Edward. “I’ll flatten them!”

“But they are cunning, we have to prepare for a long chase… my stamina potion is ready!” Gou Dan said solemnly although he was barely doing anything Clearly, they were exceedingly furious to find Eleena who grew up with them being abducted.

Even as the chase continued amidst the trading of a wide assortment of skills, the air between both sides were running high with tension.

That was when the two kidnappers suddenly and simultaneously fell heavily face-first into the dirt.

Edward and the others did a double take, but soon noticed the white chains of light bound on their feet.

It was a derivative of Eleena’s Chains of Penance.

Still, because he had fallen too hard, the sack on the short man’s back that was holding Eleena dropped into a nearby river with a plop…
