532 Purgatory Space Part 1 (1/2)
The eyes which appeared on Ismail's back had already become crystal clear, as though they were real. In the black eye orbitals, four purple pupils rotated continuously. The two wardens felt their breathing become labored, as though their souls were going to crumble.
Ismail did not use any attack skill, he only used his terror. The two wardens were from the inquisition, so they were unusually familiar with the Lord of Glory's depiction of purgatory.
This eye was extremely renowned in purgatory. It was the Eye of Hades.
Only the immediate subordinates of the evil god of the purgatory; King Hades would possess such a skill. This skill was given by King Hades, no one could cultivate it on their own.
The two wardens were dreadful, because they suddenly thought to themselves, ”Why are there purgatory creatures on the Myers mainland? Have the gates of purgatory been opened? I… have only violated the teachings of my god occasionally, he must be trying to mete out punishment now!”
”Is the world going to be destroyed? Why did god open the gates to purgatory?”
The two wardens were distraught, and they recalled that the newest code disseminated by the Holy See had mentioned the doomsday trial for the first time ever.
Those who abandoned god would eventually be destroyed; the blasphemers would surely fall. The fire of purgatory represented the anger of God, there was only one thing which could be done; salvation. The aforementioned things originated from the Holy See's seventh code; the Doomsday Revelation.
The two wardens were weak and disoriented, the magic nuclei mosaicked into their armor had dimmed. Frost engulfed the armor in an instant. A crack was heard, it turned out that a warden had crushed his own ribs. These two men no longer made any noise, as the low temperature of the Purgatory Desert swiftly took away their lives.
Ismail did not do anything. He only intimidated them, and these two wardens, who were at the standard of a high grade swordmaster, had perished. Delase's and Fanyin's expression took an abrupt turn. They had a skill called the Eye of God which enabled them to observe things several miles into the distance.
Could that man standing atop a flying dragon in the sky above Lex's camp be a purgatory enforcer?
A purgatory enforcer was the mightiest fighter serving the Hell King, they did not have emotions and could not feel pain. They simply obeyed the Hell King's commands, even if it meant challenging other gods.
In the divine language, such a creature was known as a demigod. The Lord of Glory did not acknowledge the existence of other gods, even the Hell King was labelled as an evil god by him. In fact, the Hell King was like the Goddess of Myers, he was a god who had been birthed from the purgatory plane, and he had never left this plane.
Such gods did not usually emphasize the power of faith, so they were not passionate in preaching.The demigods who served them wielded horrifying power.
It was no wonder then that Delase and Fanyin had misjudged the situation, because Ismail had used the Eye of Hades so effortlessly and his appearance had also been fully transformed by Nailisi. Had Ismail been in his original appearance, these two adjudicators would have immediately recognized his identity as a purgatory walker. The problem was that even a grade-9 sorcerer could not expose Nailisi's Ultimate Shapeshifting Skill.
”Let's go!” Delase and Fanyin yelled. The long black robes over their body turned into a pair of wings suddenly, as they soared into the sky.
Fanyin's black robe also transformed into a pair of wings, but he actually dashed in Ismail's direction.
Delase spun around mid-air, chasing after Fanyin. He did not do so because he wanted to die with Fanyin, but because he had recalled that the flying speed of a Six-legged Flying Dragon was several times faster than his wings. Besides being less flexible than Delase's wings, the Six-legged Flying Dragon's flying could be considered perfect.
A Six-legged Flying Dragon could remain airborne for long durations, it was not afraid of magic and its defensive power was astonishing. Its dragon's breath was also very powerful. It was a rare type of wurm who possessed similarly powerful offensive abilities to a dragon. Other than lifespan problems, a Six-legged Flying Dragon was almost a pedigree breed of dragon.
Delase did not even know how he had been discovered. In the Purgatory Desert, the perception and the elements were all in disorder. A person who could exert their perception for hundreds of yards was already considered powerful. Delase was stalking from over three miles away. Logically, he should not have been discovered.
He did not know that Saleen was an extremely meticulous person. Every twenty miles or so, Saleen would toss a bubble into the sand. This bubble did not contain any detection magic abilities, but since Saleen's special spell had been infused with the goddess' Power of Life, the telepathic distance between Saleen and the bubbles was extremely protracted.
Saleen could feel that people were following him from behind. He had only discovered the two wardens, he did not discover Delase and Fanyin. Under the protection of a divine spell, Delase and Fanyin were heavily obscured. The wardens had exposed their existence.
Ismail had realized that Saleen was feeling uneasy, so he used the power gifted by the Goddess of Myers to locate the scent of the stalkers. Since Ismail believed in King Hades, he was extremely sensitive to believers of other gods. Even though King Hades had never left the purgatory plane, the believers of other gods had come forth in the past to ignite wars.
That being said, this Ismail was also a monster. Most creatures could only believe in one god. If they believed in too many gods, it meant that all their beliefs, with the exception of one, were bogus. Bogus believers could not obtain the abilities gifted by the gods. Ismail had actually obtained two different powers from King Hades and the Goddess of Myers despite having faith in the both of them.
The thing more horrifying was that those stitched monsters and evil knights created by Ismail also believed in King Hades. With faith, one could use a Divine spell. Given Ismail's experience, and provided he had help, he could still deal with two adjudicators even though his powers had declined to grade-8.
