Chapter 367: The Sacrifice of My Soul was Meaningless

Under the effect of the Oath Ring, Noyo’s body separated into three. One body easily passed through the Sacred Light Wall and charged at Link.

Link immediately felt a shred of unrest appearing in the Mana surging into him. The Magicians in the magic seal were disturbed, affecting their spells.

“Steady! Keep steady! Don’t worry about me!” Link muttered. He used Dragon Power to heighten his voice. It wasn’t loud but still traveled clearly to each Magician’s ear.

On the other side, seeing the Sacred Light Wall lose effectiveness, an archbishop’s expression suddenly grew solemn. He and the other 11 had been kneeling in a circle, praying around the pope’s body. Now, he stood up and walked towards the magic seal alone.

The other cardinals didn’t move, but they all sighed simultaneously as if knowing his choice.

The cardinal prayed as he walked.

“Brilliant Lord, I am willing to burn my soul and sacrifice my all in exchange for your light to protect these mortals. Halo of Sacrifice!”

Halo of Sacrifice

Divine Spell

Effect: The halo’s range reaches 150 feet. Within the protection of the halo, all injuries of the targets are transferred to the spell-caster until the spell-caster dies. If the soul is used as the cost, the spellcaster’s soul will be destroyed after the spell.

(Note: There must be something in this world that deserves you to sacrifice everything for!)

When the last word was uttered, the benevolent white-haired archbishop stopped. He clasped his hands before his chest, head lowered and body hunched over. Then, golden flames burst from his body. These flames formed a pair of golden wings on his back. They grew quickly until they enveloped the entire magic seal like a mother bird protecting its nest.

Rings of golden runes circled the Magicians inside the magic seal.

Noyo had just arrived beside a Magician. He stabbed at the man with his dagger. The golden runes flowed over, blocking the hit. Not convinced, Noyo stabbed harder. The dagger sunk in slowly but more and more runes appeared before the tip. The resistance grew as well.

I can break through it, but I don’t have time! Noyo immediately gave up on this hit and pulled his dagger back. Ignoring these regular Magicians, he ran towards Link.

At the same time, a wound slowly opened on the archbishop’s body.

He still stood there, unmoving. His brows didn’t even knit. Sacred power surged towards him, healing the fatal wound for him.

Noyo quickly arrived beside Link. His hand moved, and the dagger shot towards Link’s back like lightning. He was still in a half-dimensional state.

He planned to turn solid the moment the dagger touched Link. At that time, he would be unstoppable.

That was what he planned, so that was what he did.

But then, there was a cling. His dagger was blocked by the sword in Link’s hand. It happened the moment he turned solid!

Link didn’t even move, but the body of his sword blocked the dagger perfectly. The dagger’s tip was less than three millimeters from the back of his head!

That moment, Link activated the Dragon King’s Fury magic sword. His strength multiplied tenfold, and he was five times faster. In two seconds, his physique was comparable to this demon Assassin and might even be stronger.

Noyo ignored his shock. Demon power seeped from the dagger instinctively, and he continued attacking.

Golden runes flowed over—the Halo of Sacrifice. This flow of light once again blocked Noyo’s demon power and saved Link’s life. The next moment, Link’s sword moved and forced Noyo’s dagger aside.

I don’t believe a Magician knows swordsmanship! Noyo and Link fought.

Link maintained the Soul Slalom while blocking Noyo’s attacks.

Cling, clang, bang. There were various sounds and waves of power rippled. Shockwaves spread in all directions before being blocked by the Halo of Sacrifice again.

The Magicians in the magic seal were unharmed but more and more wounds appeared on the archbishop. There were too many for the sacred power to heal.

He still stood there, praying without moving. His body was covered in thousands of wounds, but he still didn’t move.

In one second, Noyo stabbed Link 18 times. Other than the first move that was like a sneak attack, the other attacks were no threat to Link. His sword was like a seamless shield that blocked all strikes.

“This is impossible!” Noyo didn’t know how to describe his feeling. He wanted to go crazy. As an Assassin, he was beaten by a Magician in martial arts. He’d never experienced anything like this in his 300 years alive!

“How is this possible?!” Kanorse ran over to help. Seeing this, he was shocked too.

He could tell that Link was using basic moves—each move was a basic technique. But these were somehow able to block all the Assassin’s attacks. He remembered that Link had just started learning swordsmanship half a month ago. How could he be at this level so quickly?

By then, Nana had already defeated one of Noyo’s avatars. She rushed towards Link, ready to attack the demon from the back.

After half a second, Noyo realized that he couldn’t defeat this damned Magician’s sword with a simple dagger attack. The magic puppet was coming behind him too. He must use all his power!
