Chapter 158 – Werewolf King Jonathan

Lei Yu pretended he didn’t know what was going on and shrugged. “Who knows… could it be that the battle boots were capable of seeking out its true owner?”

“No! Impossible, impossible!” The Pope was shaking his head as he refused to believe what he saw.

Bel started floating over. “It looks like this item doesn’t really belong to the Vatican!”

“Nonsense!” The Pope’s eyes were filled with bloods vessels and they looked like they were about to burst. He had tried many methods to obtain other holy objects but he never succeeded. He never thought today a holy object would appear before his eyes but was now it was taken by Lei Yu. How could he be willing to just let that happen?

Lei Yu and Bel both frowned at the same time. They could feel a murderous aura was condensing on the Pope’s body. They never expected the aura of resentment coming from his body would be this strong.

Was Lei Yu scared? No he wasn’t. Originally these boots did not belong to the Vatican. The founder of the Vatican wasn’t Kalchas and it wasn’t Telephassa either. Lei Yu didn’t have to continue pretending to look pleased with this sudden bestowment. Not to mention that, these boots originally belonged to Minotaur Linos. If Lei Yu really wanted it, the bull-head might even give him the full set. Lei Yu narrowed his eyes and coldly said: “Your holiness, it seems you intend to do something about this huh?”

“Take off those battle boots!” The Pope’s voice was emotionless. From his eyes one could see that nothing else mattered apart from the battle boots. His previous friendly pretense was completely thrown out the door. Bel was accurate before; people of the Vatican were hypocrites who pretended to be virtuous.

“What if I say no?” Lei Yu lightly moved backwards, getting ready for a sudden attack.

“Humph! How could I allow you to possess the Vatican’s holy objects?” The Pope’s body suddenly lunged forward. Lei Yu wasn’t frantic and casually dodged to the side.

The attacks made by the Pope were entirely supported by his own internal energy, they were completely different from Lei Yu. He and Bel were the same; they relied on their own body’s physical power and agility. Of course, their speed would be their biggest advantage. Initially, Lei Yu realized his own speed was not as fast as Bel’s, but he did have his own unique methods of attacking and now that he had the battle boots as well, now Lei Yu could display his advantage.

“Whoosh!” Lei Yu wasn’t going to tolerate the Pope’s attack. His body like a ghost, he rushed towards the Pope. Since he was borrowing the magical power of Ares’ boots, Lei Yu’s speed had reached an unimaginable level. Watching from the side, Bel’s mouth was agape in shock. Since he had always been proud of his own speed, he was now overawed by Lei Yu and his desire to possess the treasure increased even more. Lei Yu wasn’t the same as the Pope who had powerful magical attacks. But the internal energy inside Lei Yu had barely been used while the Pope and Bel fought with each other previously. With the addition of Lei Yu’s newly added battle boots, the gap in strength between the two had shrunk. After dodging several of the Pope’s attack, he relied on his powerful physique to quickly condense the forces of lightning within himself.

Suddenly, Lei Yu jumped into the air. Before the Pope could even react, Lei Yu was already behind him. With a shout, “Lunar Star’s First Form!”

Purple lightning was flickering on Lei Yu’s arm with little white dots mixed amidst it. His original lightning energy was now mixed with the power of the moon and stars!

One could only see Lei Yu’s eyes focused on the back of the Pope. Using his powerful right arm, Lei Yu swung his arm drawing a perfect arc and a powerful light in the shape of a semicircle rapidly shot out.

“Agghh!” Blood gradually spread out from a line on the back of the Pope’s white robe. Fresh blood was now gushing out from a large stained area on his clothes. Lei Yu’s attack wasn’t very powerful but the attack was the result of him using a generalized attack. Not to mention that he was merely using his fist to release the first form of the Lunar Star Martial technique, it couldn’t be compared to the sharpness of releasing it through a weapon. You couldn’t even compare it to Minotaur Linos when he was using it while holding onto the Ares axe.

How long has it been now? Based on the Pope’s noble status, when was he ever seriously injured by another person? Perhaps this could be considered being smacked awake by Lei Yu. While breathing heavily, “Your strength is indeed really strong!”

Seeing that the Pope had stopped his attacks, Lei Yu also stood still but not relaxing his vigilance at the slightest. The increase in speed the Ares boots had given to him had not reached its limit yet. If he did push the speed to the limit, it’s quite possible the Pope would be receiving over a thousand strikes by Lei Yu already. Lei Yu was able to feel the horrifying degree of speed the boots was capable of increasing.

“If your holiness didn’t fight against Prince Bel previously, maybe I would be the one who would be hurt instead?” Even though Lei Yu fought against the Pope, it wasn’t his intention and he only acted like that as his last resort. He still had thoughts of living in peace with the Pope. Even if two sides couldn’t be friends, at least they wouldn’t become enemies. This would definitely be better than living with a pair of predatory eyes on him at all times. “As for the holy object…” *Cough cough!* The Pope coughed hard a few times which showed that the injuries caused by Lei Yu were not light at all. It’s no wonder since Lei Yu’s current strength was at the mid-stage of [Detachment], he was already a one man tyrannical force. Not to mention that during the previous fight, Lei Yu used the first form of the Lunar Star Martial technique and only utilized half of its strength. With this attack alone, he was able to heavily injure the Pope. Needless to say, Lei Yu was capable to continuously using the first four forms; the damage that those would deal to the Pope would most likely be disastrous.

Lei Yu lightly exhaled. It looked like the Pope didn’t really want him as an enemy but his desire for the boots which technically didn’t belong to the Vatican was too strong. “I shouldn’t be staying the U.S. for too long, no longer than three years. For the next three years, I will hold onto this item temporarily. Once I leave the U.S., I will give it to you.”

“Really?!” The Pope suddenly stood up straight. It looked like his previous injuries weren’t serious. Lei Yu never expected that the dignified Pope who was admired by millions of people would be so concerned over external worldly possessions. This had made Lei Yu somewhat disappointed in him.

Lei Yu also really liked these cool looking boots but after all, they didn’t really belong to him. Even though the Vatican and Minotaur Linos were unrelated, Kalchas was still a prophet for the Vatican. Since more or less there was a slight connection based on that, giving it to the Pope shouldn’t be a bad thing.

“Rest assured, the boots are yours once I resolve some of my issues.”

One could clearly see the Pope’s mood was extremely happy even though blood was still constantly dripping down off his back. It looked like he didn’t care about his injuries at all since Lei Yu had made him a promise. To super experts, committing to a promise was an important thing.
