Chapter 364: The Retribution

When Bellak bowed to Lucien, a layer of dim light covered the creepy black ring on his right hand.

The ring was designed in the shape that the two black snakes joined head to tail. Targeting at Lucien, a dark ray suddenly and fiercely shot out.

The magic wall shielding Lucien disappeared, and so did the enchanted magic effect on the senior-rank arcana badge—Freedom of Movement (Common). A small anti-magic field was formed around Lucien.

The seventh-circle spell, Anti-magic Ray!

As a battle sorcerer, Bellak was more cautious than the senior-rank sorcerers that Lucien once had fought against. At the very beginning, he had picked the spells that worked the best on Lucien and activated his best magic item. Also, he had limited Lucien from using any high-rank magic items by building the anti-magic field.

Lucien was unable to activate his ring, Element, and thus the magic spells built in it could not be used. Fortunately, he was relatively experienced facing the anti-magic ray, so he immediately dodged aside and tried to find somewhere to hide, as the anti-magic field would not last long.

When Bellak saw Lucien's swift movement, he realized that Lucien was also a quite competitive knight, but it did not matter to him. Smiling, he reached out his hand and gently pointed at the air in front of Lucien, and instantly, a tall and invisible force field wall rose straight from the ground.

Bang!

Lucien failed to change the direction of his movement and he ran into the wall.

Having no time to waste, using the rebound momentum, Lucien altered his direction and started to run at his full speed along the wall.

The biggest problem of this fifth-circle magic was that it was just a wall, not a cage!

When Lucien was about to jump into the lake, Bellak's buffering time for casting had ended and another gray ray shot out from his finger. No matter how Lucien tried to dodge, the ray still got him.

Lucien's eyes became glazed, and the body part struck by the ray began to harden like a grayish-white rock.

The grayish white color rapidly expanded, and in just a second, Lucien was transformed into a stone statue.

The sixth-circle spell, Stone!

”Ha, the so-called Demon of Primary… How weak you are!” Bellak put on a triumphant smile and he could not help making the sarcastic comment.

As a spy, Bellak was always under great pressure. He needed to take the chance to vent on his enemy or he would definitely go crazy. But although he was being sarcastic, he did not lower his alert. With the following series of casting, Bellak constrained Lucien completely.

After that, Bellak finally felt a bit relaxed. After all, Lucien was the student of the Lord of Storm and who knew if he had any strange magic items or scrolls.

Staring at Lucien who was right now a stone statue, there was a smirk on Bellak's swarthy face, ”The command was to end the life the Demon of Primary ranking No. 53 on the list, but I just caught him alive! When the Church burns him down into ashes in public in Lance, my reward shall be abundant and my honor shall be recognized by everyone!”

He knew that he was going to spend the following several decades hiding in the Holy City, Lance, as Holm parish would have no way to protect him when facing Fernando's fury.

In Holm, all the night watchers were hiding very carefully. Once they were exposed, that would be the end of them.

Then Bellak looked around to figure out where he was right now.

Although the magic scroll carrying the magic Space Countercurrent just sent them to this random place, based on how long they had traveled just now, Bellak had the rough idea that they were not far from Rentato, and to be more specific, they should be right beside the Chirag Lake in the southeast of Rentato.

Using magic, Bellak turned Lucien's stone statue into a miniature that he could hold in his hand. The miniature looked very lively despite the gray color.

”You're a defiler, and you're doomed to be burned down by the sacred flame. What a pity… or I could ask the Pope to turn you into a permanent statue and place you in my collection room. So far you're the sorcerer ranking the highest on the list among those I've hunted, but, surprisingly, you're the weakest one as well!” Holding the statue in his hand, somehow Bellak went a bit out of control, ”You get it now? With no strong enough magic power, no matter how big an achievement you have in arcana, it's just a phantom. A so-called great arcanist can easily be caught or killed by a senior-rank sorcerer!”

The fact that his arcana level was low was a wound in his heart. Bellak was not good at arcana and he had always been mocked by his fellow schoolmates and even his teachers and colleagues. No matter how his magic level improved, people around him just could not see it. And his beloved girl also jumped into the embrace of the guy who he hated the most—the guy whose arcana level was two levels higher than his, but at that time, Bellak's magic level was still one-circle higher.

”You know what? Later in an adventure, I caught him… I killed him, but slowly. I tortured him… He begged me so desperately. But I was so happy. He was always up there, looking down upon me, but finally, he knelt down in front of me, and he even wanted to send me his wife as the gift. Your high arcana level doesn't always help you, you know?”

If Lucien had been able to think, he definitely would have mocked Bellak that he was being overly sensitive and thus his life was turned into a failure. In the Congress, no one dared to mock a sorcerer face-to-face whose magic level was higher than his or her arcana level.

Bellak calmed himself down after venting out his anger. He was ready to set off for the Radiance Church as there was no more time for him to waste. Once the senior members of the Will of Element arrived, that would be the end of him.
