After both sides made up their minds, the battle started again.

Strictly speaking, the battle had never stopped. Even when the heads of both sides were busy discussing a short while ago, the mid and high-level clergymen did not stop reciting prayers. Repeatedly, they sent forth the combination of divinity and carried out an intense exchange of attack and defense.

The thing was… both sides were not in good shape. One side was suffering from heavy casualties with soldiers getting injured and generals getting slain. The other side almost wet their pants after being scared of their wits by the Punishing Fist of Heaven. Caught in such a situation, their performances were naturally vastly different from before, where they could meet the expectations of the so-called textbook standard of combined divinity and defense mechanisms. If expressed in network language, previously, it was a great battle of masters crossing swords with one another; but now, it was merely a domestic fight of chickens pecking at one another.

And even though they might seem more like chickens pecking at one another, none of them wasted a single second to rest. This showed what fine people they were and how well-trained they were.

What a pity! Both sides were declining at the same time. Once again, they were locked in a battle where neither wanted to give in. This was because if any party had chosen to give in, there was a possibility that the other side would gain some advantages out of the situation.

Of course, this duel between the two churches, which had 16 Legendary Masters participating, could at most provide a mere advantage, but that wasn’t really a big deal. Even though out of all these clergymen who were executing the combined divinity formation, the ones lowest in rank were minimally mid-ranked clergymen who were qualified enough to take up positions as bishops in smaller areas. Yet in today’s battlefield, they were merely the backdrop for the Legendary Masters.

Not only were they in the backdrop, the moment the Legendary Masters came to grips with one another, these clergymen would even become hindrances that might get in the way of the fight.

This was why when the nine Legendary Masters from the Church of the God of Aristocracy were spreading the influence of their powerful aura without inhibition as they advanced towards the battlefront, the attack and defense mechanism of the combined divinity formation of both sides finally came to a halt.

Now, it was battle of the Legendary Masters. No matter how they fought and banged away, not only were the clergymen unable to render help, they might even be a hindrance to the Masters representing them.

However, even though the attack and defense came to a halt, the confrontation between the two formations of combined divinity did not stop. It was merely replaced with a confrontation between buff spells and nerf spells.

Should one side speed up, the other side would slow down; if one side displayed their strength as a powerful, superior bull, the other side would weaken its glowing halo as much as it could. In short, there would be one side trying its best to enhance and strengthen the state of its Legendary Masters, while the other side would be doing all it could to weaken its opponent.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com

Generally speaking, this was actually the job of magicians in an ordinary, large-scale battle. The only difference in the situation was that it was a group of people casting spells on a few people when usually, it would be a few magicians casting spells on a large group of people. But today, the roles were reversed.

However, if only combat power was taken into consideration, then such a reversal was understandable. It did not matter whether there was a large number of clergymen executing the combined divinity formation or not. If a fight really happened, all that was required were two to three Legendary Masters to achieve the task of utterly defeating these clergymen and sending them fleeing helter-skelter after dropping their shields and armor.

At such a level of combat, all that these clergymen could do was supplement help by casting spells.

Also, looking over to the other side, six figures were leaving their positions from the formation of the God of Knowledge. This caused them even more distress than before.

Those six figures consisted of young boys and maidens, all with expressions as calm as still waters. Not a hint of effects, buff spells or nerf spells could be detected from them.

This was certainly a matter, of course. So long as one was willing to, the gods could immunize any spells below the Legendary level. Even for clones with powers that were so insignificant when compared to those of the actual being, the same could be achieved.

In such a battle, it was certainly not an exceptionally good choice to be without any state spells. However, as compared to personally experiencing a continuous switch between buff spells and nerf spells, this was so much better.

The trio of the elderly man, the middle-aged man, and the jolly green fellow were already muttering uncontrollably, “This is not going to be an easy battle at all!”

The Archbishop maintained an indifferent expression. Without even turning back, she said, “The situation is in our favor. I suppose, Olian might have sustained injuries just now, which should most probably be the outcome of the Punishing Fist of Heaven.”
