794 Proud (2/2)

Lucien put on his clothes and chuckled. ”They're kept by my teacher, of course!”

......

In the ocean of holy light, the spherical magic circle disassembled and melted quickly.

Fernando, who had been intentionally keeping away from God's Arrival, simply cast a spell and opened a space-time gate, jumping toward his demiplane. The Will of Abyss, who was right next to the spherical magic circle, had no time to dodge it. Due to the influence of God's Arrival, his eyes were broken and his arms were falling. Black and chaotic water was springing from the ground under his cries.

”He was not melted with the demigod circle?” Pope Viken was not surprised that Lucien blew himself up at all. As a legendary sorcerer in the past, he knew very well about the escape and resurrection methods of sorcerers. What was beyond his expectation was that Lucien Evans could've detonated himself so easily at the last moment without being affected by the spherical magic circle at all.

Had he avoided the blast and replaced his body with an alchemical item before that?

That would have suggested that he was not trying to break into the demigod level at all. Then, why was he doing all this?

Thinking about that, Pope Viken squinted. Not bothering the Will of Abyss and the Lord of Hell down below, he simply tore apart the space and returned to the corresponding location in the main material world.

The Lord of Hell realized the anomaly too. He burst out all his strength and drove the Will of Abyss, who hadn't recovered from his wounds and was hit by God's Arrival again, back into the abyss. Then, he also tore apart the space and returned.

The dim silver moon was long gone, and the sky of the World of Souls was gray again. However, a silver-haired man in a red shirt and a black coat slowly paced out of the woods and chuckled. ”I didn't even have a chance to make an entrance. How sad.”

......

Outside of Allyn, the white mist grew dense, covering the ”natural views” that were no different from the real landscape as well as the cognitive world that looked like a vast cosmos. The only thing that could be clearly seen was the brilliant starlight from the sky.

It took Melmax twenty minutes to reach Allyn before he saw the thickening mist. Taking a deep breath, he raised his longsword and charged toward the City in the Sky. Douglas had to be stopped from reaching the demigod level!

Although he knew very well that it was barely possible for him to break the defense of Allyn without the help of a demigod, he had no choice except to charge at such a moment as a knight!

The longsword of the Holy Avenger passed the sky and hit the ivory mist. On the other side, Belkovsky, the brawny pontiff of the North Church, had flown over too. He was surrounded by holy light, with a pair of glorious wings that were purely made of godhood on his back. It was obvious that he had performed ”God's Grace”.

However, the moment he showed up, a green arrow that carried the air of the natural cycle traveled through space and reached before him, forcing him to drop the plan of attacking Allyn and focus his attention on dealing with this ”Nature's Punishment”.

In the high sky, the elven queen, who was wearing a refreshing, green dress, had decided to help her ally.

Dracula, the Night Dominator, and Danisos, the Dragon of Time and Luminosity, were both hiding in the dark without taking any action because they were in a dilemma. On one hand, they were happy to see Douglas' advancement, but on the other hand, they were fearful about the future. Also, since the few legends of the Congress of Magic hadn't taken action, they had to consider carefully whether or not they had advantages.

At this moment, the ”starry sky” suddenly constricted toward Allyn, and all the stars fell like rain, presenting a brilliant and dreamy view.

Then, the dark night fell again. Not the slightest light could be perceived. Even the senses of top legends could only cover a dozen square kilometers around them.

In the pitch darkness, Melmax suddenly had a terrible feeling and retreated toward the Holy City without thinking. Belkovsky did the same.

In the meantime, Viken, who was still in the depths of the Dark Mountain Range with his pope robe and his holy crown, was staring at the inky sky gloomily.

At such a moment, how could he not realize what had happened?

Right when he was about to raise the platinum staff, on the horizon of the dark sky, a scorching sun suddenly leaped out, dyeing half of the sky vermilion!

......

”You stalled them for twenty minutes and wasted a 'God's Arrival'?” Natasha became rather confident after hearing Lucien's unhurried introduction. ”It seems that Viken and the Lord of Hell will miss the end of the show.”

Lucien chuckled. ”The corresponding location after they leave the World of Souls is the Dark Mountain Range. It will take a lot of time for them to reach Allyn from there, unless they have deployed teleportation circles in advance. Otherwise, even a demigod will have to spend at least twenty minutes on the way. Also, Allyn is not as easy to locate as the artificial planets in the high sky. It will be barely possible for Viken to lock onto the City in the Sky from somewhere far away.”

”Hehe. Are you not scared that Viken and the Lord of Hell did set up teleportation circles in advance?” Natasha intentionally argued with him.

Lucien put on his waistcoat and smiled. ”Why do you think Mr. Rhine never showed up?”

”Well…” Natasha thought of something else and suddenly asked, ”If the Congress were faced with such a situation, what would you do?”

”Orbit strikes from the artificial planets, of course.” Lucien warmed his body. ”However, the current orbit attacks cannot break through the defense of Allyn.”
