Chapter 623 (2/2)

But… how was that possible?!

Although it was said that the power of a god would always be far stronger than that of mortals, it did not mean that the Legendary Masters were able to be compared on the same scale as the gods. However, in the face of the idealized Holy Domain Spell, even a clone of any god would inevitably be stunned into a momentary daze. When Legendary Masters were engaged in a confrontation, that short fleeting moment of a momentary daze was more than enough to distinguish between the conqueror and the defeated!

But how were the tables turned?

For a moment, the six Legendary Masters of the Church of the God of Aristocracy retreated a few steps in concert without prior discussion. They even seemed to be closing the distance among themselves as they retreated, to put up a defensive stance.

Whenever there were abnormal occurrences, there had to be-be demons up to mischief. The others in the army definitely did not want to end up like the two Sacred Warriors whose lives had ended in such an inexplicably unreasonable manner!

But then, they were struck with a thought. The moment they all retreated, the Archbishop would be left all alone at the battlefront.

Although they realized that they had made a huge mistake right away and had hurried towards the direction of the Archbishop, they were still a step too late.

Seeing their chance, the six Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, who were the possessed bodies of the clones of the God of Knowledge, took off for their assault without hesitation. They charged towards the Archbishop, where the glow of the Holy Domain Spell around her had dissipated.

The three Holy Sons launched the attack while the three Holy Daughters took charge of blocking off attacks.

With three people resisting six people, the three Holy Daughters emphasized fully on defense without attacking at all. Although they were at a great disadvantage, at the very least, blocking off attacks for a short period was not an issue to them.

On the other hand, the Archbishop, whose Holy Domain Spell had just lost its effectiveness, had to face three Holy Sons who were bodies possessed by gods. Would she be able to hold out long enough?

Obviously, she could not hold up for long.

All six Legendary Masters of the Church of the God of Aristocracy were clearly aware of this too, which was why they too held back no more. With their strongest methods, all of them attacked like crazy and without any hint of hesitation.

Out of the six Legendary Masters, the berserker warrior was the most violent attacker. As a mercenary, he was someone who was very particular about professional ethics. If his inadequacy in combat power was the reason that led to his employer’s death, then even if this did not affect the remuneration he would receive, it was derogatory to his reputation. This made him feel even more uncomfortable.

He quickly wielded his huge battle axe that was accompanied by a bloody light. This battle axe was so forceful that anyone strike it made was able to split a hill, and this battle axe was slamming heavily against the wall of defense that the three Holy Daughters had built with concerted efforts.

His attitude spurred the other five Legendary Masters, so likewise, they did their best in attacking as rigorously as they could. Within a timeframe as short as two to three breaths, two out of the three Holy Daughters responsible for blocking attacks sustained injuries while one lost her life. Their line of defense was brought to the brink of collapsing.

However, in the end, they were still too late.

Right in the middle of the battlefield, the Archbishop had slumped to the ground, looking feeble and weak.

The last thing she could do was to drag a Holy Son to her grave with her.

To be able to accomplish something of this degree was already very remarkable. After all, it was one against three, and her opponent was a clone of a god, whose power could not be unleashed to full potential due to the restricting fact that this was a mortal being possessed. But to an actual mortal being, this was already an existence that was powerful beyond imagination.

The key to why the Archbishop was able to drag an opponent to her burial ground, was that she was resolute enough, and also, she was smart enough.

She started out with clenched teeth and an expression that cried out her determination to fight to her death, but when her three opponents pressed her into fighting them, she suddenly stripped herself of all defense. She’d rather risk getting killed immediately just to seize that one opportunity to launch a vicious attack on any one of those three Holy Sons.

This tactic was a success. Under such a situation where one was pitted against three, the outcome with the highest possibility would be for her to get killed while her opponents either escaped unscathed or were merely slightly injured. But now, she had successfully turned to ashes along with one of her opponents. At least in terms of combat power, she suffered no loss at all.
