Chapter 423 – Divine; the Second Chapter (1/2)

With Windless, Lin Xi and Ferotiger taking the lead, they entered a fierce fight with the Demon experts.

Fatty trapped a Divine expert with the Elemental Sword Diagram and fought equally inside. The other was a low-rank god while Fatty was Celestial-tier with two Divine artifacts. None could gain the upper hand over the other and were stuck in a deadlock.

Fatty had killed his fair share of low-rank Divine experts, whether it was Prince Bader or the later four Divine necromancers, they could be easily handled as long as he had enough time. However, what he lacked now was precisely time.

Fatty’s side was inferior regarding numbers, having only half the number of Divine experts of the other side, but there wasn’t much a gap on overall strength, especially with the 3,000 Magic Crystal Cannons that could kill a Divine expert in one bombardment. Since they might attack at any time, the other party had to keep their guard up against these killer weapons.

However, this balance slowly diminished as the battle continued. After all, the enemy party had over twice as many experts as their own. If they broke through the barrier of the three nations, the players protected inside would certainly suffer casualties.

“I can't believe they brought so many.” Fatty was pissed. Just how many Divine experts did the Demon realm have in total? And now over 20 actually appeared in one place. They were basically shouting that they wanted all the neutral main cities.

“Whatever, the Metal Mystery Codex is the most important.” Determined to get the codex first, Fatty flicked his fingers and countless magic attacks shot like a storm.

“This is all you have? If so, today your two Divine artifacts will have a new owner.” The Demon expert fighting Fatty easily blocked all of his attacks then retaliated, giving Fatty a temporary fluster.

“But a low-rank god.” Fatty snorted. The Elemental Skill Book rapidly flipped until it stopped on a certain page.

“A low-rank god is enough to handle a puny Celestial… What?! Forbidden spell?!”

The face of this expert whose lips were curving in a mocking smile suddenly changed. He quickly found his body turn rigid as the rain of snow before his eyes grew denser and denser, accompanied by a sky-blotting blanket of sword auras, and finally, even his mind completely stopped functioning.

“Peh, a low-rank god actually has the gall to be so arrogant!” Enduring the heartache to release two forbidden spells in one go and coordinating with millions of sword aura attacks to kill this Divine expert, Fatty took a deep breath and jumped out of the Nation of Death. He flew towards the golden sun in the sky.

“Boy, I was just waiting for you to come out.” Fahklud laughed and his big hand clawed at Fatty.

Fatty swept a cold glance before suddenly vanishing. When he reappeared, he was already right beside the golden sun.

Having gathered four of the mystery codices, the Elemental Movement Arts had reached the point where Fatty could use it however he pleased. Not only the number of times per day and the distance wasn’t limited, but the skill itself had also become more profound than teleportation.

The blinding light from the golden sun couldn’t do any harm to Fatty and instead was absorbed by the Elemental Skill Book hovering before him, converted into its energy. Looking at the golden sun, Fatty didn’t hesitate to reach out his hand and grab at the Metal Mystery Codex.

Fahklud's face abruptly changed. He screamed, “Scram!” and a beam of light shot behind Fatty.

Fatty didn't even bother to look. The Elemental Skill Book spun to his back and blocked the attack. If Fahklud had used any other attacks, Fatty would have cared a little, but magic attacks basically had no effect on him.

It got difficult to advance after Fatty touched the golden sun. Fahklud had carved numerous magic formations on it to prevent any foreign invasion. In the face of Fahklud’s obvious relief, Fatty smiled. The Elemental Sword Diagram slowly rotated and wrapped the golden sun in.

Before Fahklud could react, the kidnapped golden sun was already under tens of millions of attacks inside the Elemental Sword Formation. No matter how strong the magic formations protecting it was, it was difficult to withstand such a degree of attack. In the end, the formations crumbled with a snap and violently energy flows burst in all directions, revealing the Metal Mystery Codex inside.

Holding the codex in his hand, Fatty's heart was full of emotions. Ever since entering the Beginner’s Village, then getting the first Basic Elemental Movement Arts, until now acquiring the last Metal Mystery Codex, not mentioning how many twists and turns he had gone through, just the time he had spent alone wasn’t brief.

“I hope this so-called hardest-to-achieve hidden class can provide me a satisfactory answer.”

Under Fahklud's bulging vengeful eyes, Fatty gently pressed the Metal Mystery Codex onto the Elemental Skill Book. A golden light rose up into the sky as numerous golden weapons such as blades, spears, swords, shields… appeared around the Elemental Skill Book like stars surrounding the moon, bobbing up and down around it.

Rumble… A powerful force emerged from the void, broke into the Sun Nation and poured it into the Elemental Skill Book.

A five-colored light flashed on the Elemental Skill Book and displayed various holograms in a series of fleeting images. There were heaven-shattering battles, there were also torrents of magic spells that frightened the hearts.

Three consecutive announcements, any one of them could throw the player of interest as high as a kite, but it was as if Fatty hadn’t heard at all. He showed no excitement and only focused on the Elemental Mystery Realm.

In the Elemental Mystery Realm, the originally primitive and unsophisticated Demon Sealing Stele changed abruptly after the Metal Mystery Codex was merged. Some kind of liquid seemed to circulate on the stele surface, and the four characters on it slowly faded away. Finally, in the middle of countless ghosts and skeletons, surrounded by wind, storms, and lightning, a massive, exquisite character ‘Suppress’ floated up.
