As long as Banchajanna was willing to knock his six weapons together, he would be able to kill the many swordsmen on the ground below. The absolute power suppression by the six powers from the death dimension would cause even the black bishop to be injured. However, Banchajanna had only used a standard high-level death spell, the Nothingness Flame, to incinerate the swordsmen.

While seated on Banchajanna's back, Daniel heard Saleen's cries. He pondered for a moment, and realized that he should not let the leader of those swordsmen escape. Thus he commanded, ”Banchajanna, go and kill that man in the black robe!”

Banchajanna replied coldly, ”Go and do it yourself.”

Daniel fumed. If he had been able to kill that holy master in the black robe, then he would not have needed to put up with the three kings. Usually, Daniel was tolerant. However, at this point in time, Daniel exploded with rage and said, ”Fine, I will go.”

After finishing his sentence, Daniel jumped off of Banchajanna's back and charged towards the black bishop.

Banchajanna, on the other hand, was feeling depressed. That old man in the black robe had a god's imprint on his body, which was different from all the other lowly swordsmen. If Banchajanna killed him, there would be endless trouble in the future. To Banchajanna, the Holy See was not really a threat. The real threat was the god behind the Holy See.

He could kill those unimportant people. In the event that more enemies arrived, he would simply escape back to the death dimension with his two brothers. The god would definitely not traverse the planes to avenge the deaths of those lowly swordsmen.

However, this old man in a black robe had a god's imprint, which meant that he was acknowledged by his god as a true believer. If one wanted to kill this old man, he would have to remove the god's imprint at the same time so as to avoid being tracked down by the god. Now that Banchajanna was on the human plane, his abilities were reduced by one grade, so there was no way he could remove the god's imprint.

Furthermore, Banchajanna was not Saleen's subordinate. He would not care about Saleen's future. Banchajanna just wanted muddle along life right now. It would be best if he could find some traces of Shanglan, but if he could not, he would also not want to go against a god over a human.

This was not tens of thousands of years ago when humans had possessed the power to resist the gods. Banchajanna might not have been as intelligent as Judikaka, but he would not do such a stupid thing either.

In order to avoid detection, Banchajanna would have to pretend to be Daniel's summoned creature. But if Daniel died, where could he go to look for a second death mage? As a result, Daniel had only just jumped off of Banchajanna's back when Banchajanna used his tail to pull Daniel back. Then, Banchajanna cast a grey shadow which caused Daniel to be stuck on his back.

”Let me down!” Daniel was enraged. However, his voice could not even pass through the grey shadow no matter how loud he yelled. Then, Banchajanna simply went about killing the swordsmen as though he were obeying Daniel's commands.

The black bishop did not know about the conversation which had transpired between Daniel and Banchajanna, so he became quite terrified. His men were all the elites from the inquisition, even though they were not very high grade. However, if all of them gathered together, their sword auras would be so powerful that even a golden grand swordmaster would be injured. Even though that death creature in the sky had no wings, it could still fly. That metal-melting nothingness flame had caused the black bishop's trusted subordinates to be obliterated without any chance for resistance at all.

The black bishop did not know that Banchajanna had the intention of letting him escape, but he did not want to carry on fighting at this point in time either. He might have held some more tricks up his sleeve, but he could only withhold his skills for now.

”Let's go.” After finishing his sentence, the black bishop took out a holy scroll from his ring and opened it.

With a flash of white light, the black bishop and his dozens of swordsmen disappeared into thin air. Seeing that the black bishop had escaped, Saleen became very furious. If Banchajanna had attacked the black bishop, he would not have been to use the scroll so easily. Now that the black bishop had escaped, Saleen's newly constructed city would no longer have any peaceful days. Should Saleen give up such a great foundation?

The black bishop was also a ruthless man. His son was dead and he had abandoned his two-hundred-strong group of subordinates, escaping with only dozens of black armor warriors. Such a loss was massive, and he had done so without any hesitation at all. Of course, it was Banchajanna's power which had left the black bishop with no choice but to escape. If Banchajanna had concentrated all of his attacks on the black bishop, the black bishop could have only used his divine spell to fly, and he would not even have been able to use his holy scroll.

Teleportation scrolls were extremely rare holy scrolls. Once such a scroll was used, the user would be transported to a relatively safer place. The coordinates, distance, and direction could not be determined though. During the usage of this scroll, one could not be disturbed. Otherwise, their body would be torn into particles the size of an elemental atom by the power of space when the divine spell failed.

When the remaining swordsmen saw that the black bishop had abandoned them, they lost all their morale simultaneously. Banchajanna was flying in the air while these swordsmen did not have the ability to fly. Furthermore, this was not the Tanggulasi Empire, and they did not have any weapons to deal with air assaults. Hence, these swordsmen were simply waiting to be slaughtered.

At this point in time, Banchajanna suddenly stopped his attacks. The swordsmen immediately seized this critical opportunity and fled in all directions. These swordsmen had been living in the north for many years, so they were very familiar with the terrain. Unless Banchajanna went all out to try to kill them, many of them would be able to escape to safety.

Saleen helped Nailisi get back on her feet. Then, he looked up to stare at Banchajanna, his face as black as thunder.

Banchajanna had intentionally allowed the enemy to escape. He knew that Banchajanna had his own thoughts, but if such power existed in his city, it would surely be an underlying disaster. Saleen retracted that blue light which was about to be launched from his blue eyes, as he restrained the impulse to kill Banchajanna. Even though Saleen had just grasped the power of lightning, he would not be able to defeat Banchajanna either way.

Saleen had to think of a solution to control the powers of the three spirit kings, or else his city could be destroyed at anytime without warning.

”Master…”
