1109 Divine Tablet Spell Part 1 (2/2)

The dark double's square tablet rammed hard on Don's spear. He felt as if he was about to stop breathing altogether, like death was within an inch of him. He was sent flying more than 300 feet, crashing hard onto a rock. The spear left his hand.

The God-hunting Spear was far superior to the tablet in terms of material quality. Unfortunately, Don's strength was lacking when compared to the dark double. It spoke volumes of his skill to be hit by the tablet and still survive.

Most of the impact was absorbed by the spear. Don was left with enough to pant. Unable to retaliate, he sighed. There was nothing he could do if Saleen proved incapable of surviving the ordeal.

He brought a devastating skill to bear after hiding for so long, yet he was still unable to kill that dark double. If Saleen died, that scaly creature would never let him off easily. Don was not afraid of death, it was just that it felt vexing to die before accomplishing what he wanted to do.

The dark double wiggled its shoulders, attempting to grow a new head after having its head blown up being hit by the spear. However, the pure power of the spear itself proved adequate to suppress the attempt. The head was unable to grow out.

The dark double stopped caring about its head since it did not need eyes to see. It went up the altar in great strides. The golden-armored knights chasing after the demons all knew what was happening and lost all intention to fight.

When Nailisi streaked past them, none of the knights bothered lifting a finger against her.

With the great head inquisitor gone, the golden-armored knights began to want to leave. Given that the dark double was still around, it was anyone's guess what punishments would have awaited them back home if they were to simply run away.

The dark double walked onto the altar guided by instinct after losing its head, attempting to chase after Nailisi and the others. The 24 chains hiding within the mist lashed out at it as soon as it went onto the altar, dragging it into the purgatory of the fallen.

Nailisi could be seen panting in the purgatory. She returned to her imp form after putting everyone around her down.

The purgatory of the fallen looked prosperous and peaceful. The dark double, which was dragged in by the Shackles of the Fallen, was hoisted to the altar floating in the air. The Shackles of the Fallen sealed its powers and began to slowly absorb it.

The dark double had sustained severe injuries and totally lost the ability to fight back.

Saleen lifted his head to look at the sky. The purgatory of the fallen was only 36 miles high. His Elemental Eye was able to see every single corner of the place.

The Shackles of the Fallen penetrated the dark double and shackled it at the center of that altar. Nailisi's double opened its eyes and observed the internal energy structure of the dark double.

It was a pity that the Shackles of the Fallen were incapable of leaving the 12 Notes of First Purgatory. Otherwise, it would have become a powerful offensive equipment. If the dark double had not lost its head, it would have been difficult to get it near the range of the chains since the Shackles of the Fallen was unable to go far.

Saleen recovered for a bit and saw Nicholas began to breathe regularly. He asked, ”Nicholas, who was that old fellow?”

Saleen was unable to kill the great head inquisitor despite giving his all. Not even the lightning bolt from his family badge or the attacks of his Thunder Dragon Blaster proved adequate in penetrating his enemy's defenses. No figure like that would have gone unnoticed within the Holy See.

”He's the great head inquisitor. I only saw him once when I was young. Damn, I never knew he was that strong...” Nicholas was impressed with what he had done.

He was unable to tell that they were fighting the great head inquisitor from looks alone. When the great head inquisitor brought the Divine Skull to bear, he finally recalled who that old man was.

”Great head inquisitor, huh. It's too bad we didn't get to kill him,” Saleen said in a rather regretful manner.

”My liege, it's lucky enough that none of us died fighting him.” Nicholas let out a bitter smile. ”The great head inquisitor had three godly items. While those items were not as powerful as the ones held by the pope, which would have suffered a huge reduction in powers when separated, they did not come in a set. If every single one of those items were to be used at full power, we wouldn't even have the chance to run.”

”So, why didn't the final attack kill him?” Saleen asked in a vexed manner. He had unleashed all of his strongest attacks and was still unable to kill the great head inquisitor. The Holy See was a little too powerful.

”The Divine Tablet spell,” Nicholas said. ”I'm sure the great head inquisitor had one.”

”What's a Divine Tablet?” Saleen asked.

Nicholas pondered for a bit and said, ”Well, my liege, you do know the spirits, right?”

Saleen nodded.

Nicholas continued, ”Spirits are capable of entering the bodies of any creature and taking said creature's form. They are able to possess other creatures as well. The Divine Tablet spell is something similar, but it's very brutal.”
