Chapter 157 – Snatching The Battle Boots (2/2)
On Bel’s fingernail tip and fangs, it contained a secretion unique to his clan. Once a person’s body was contaminated with that secretion, that person’s life would be subject to their control. With every attack, Bel was hoping to release that effect, but his stamina was continuously depleting as he was unable to land a critical attack.
“Mr. Lei Yu! Help me kill the Pope and I will give you the treasure that I found today!” Gradually, the fight was becoming unfavorable for Bel. The Pope seized the moment Bel was distracted and suddenly, a huge white light enveloped the entire surrounding area.
“Bang!”
The ground was destroyed by the enormous energy released by the Pope and the stench-filled mud started flying all over the place. “Plop plop” sounds of mud hitting the ground caused Lei Yu to dodge left and right to avoid them. Bel was somewhat in pain, but due to his experience gained through countless fights, how could he be knocked down so quickly by this attack? No matter what, he was still a Prince of the Vampire clan.
The moment the Pope released his powerful attack, Bel’s body had already soundlessly retreated by tens of meters backward.
Lying amidst the mud, the three were able to see the treasure exuding a golden light, silently sitting there.
Lei Yu’s eyes were staring in shock. “Ares’ battle boots! How could this be?!”
Lei Yu wasn’t the only person to recognize this object, the Pope had also recognized it. Recorded in the ancient books, he too had seen these boots depicted, so he of course knew its secrets. But unfortunately for him, he didn’t know the battle boots required a spell to activate. Kalchas never told him of this because the item technically belonged to his owner, Minotaur Linos. If it weren’t for rescuing the bull head, he also wouldn’t have told Lei Yu the spell.
“It’s really a holy object! It’s really a holy object!” The Pope appeared extremely excited. Perhaps it was due to the relationship between his golden crown and the boots, both objects emitted a bright light at the same time.
Lei Yu couldn’t hold back his own emotional heart and took a few steps forward towards the boots. Both the Pope and Bel noticed this movement. “Mr. Lei Yu, could it be that you wish to intervene as well?”
Lei Yu didn’t bother answering and walked closer towards the large pit created by the Pope’s last attack. His lips started moving, chanting something that no one could hear or understand what he was saying. Bel and the Pope only saw the boots suddenly shine brightly before slowly floating up out of the pit.
The Pope and Bel, who were ten plus meters away, stared with big round eyes unblinkingly at the floating battle boots. They looked like they were waiting for an opportunity to make the killing blow. They would both be merciless when grabbing the boots because this item was just too tempting. According to the records, this treasure was something that could double one’s speed. Within this world, even if it were an ordinary person who possessed this treasure, they could probably repeatedly break world records. So what would happen to someone that was already extremely strong upon wearing those boots?
As for Bel, even though he didn’t know what abilities the battle boots possessed, but something that could make the Pope’s eyes go red with desire would definitely not be something ordinary. He naturally would not give up on it.
However, it was at this time, the internal calculations of those two seemed to have erred. The floating boots, as if prejudiced, dropped next to Lei Yu’s feet. A bright light flashed again and the boots suddenly disappeared. Then another flash appeared on Lei Yu’s feet and the pair of shiny golden boots was currently being worn by him.
“What the hell just happened?!” Asked the Pope with his eyes round and wide.
