Chapter 481 - You’re Surrounded! (2/2)

He was honestly in panic and even forgot to activate a defensive spell… Of course, it wouldn’t work even if he did.

When he was mid-air, Celine’s bullet arrived, digging into his back. Boom. The powerful force threw the Dark Elf 15 feet away, his body snapping in half.

He was totally dead.

“Done!” Celine wiped the metal shards off the muzzle with a clean white cloth. Then she blew on it and put the gun away. “Now what?”

Link already had plans. “Go to the church in the city and find a priest. Only their divine spells can defeat the God of Destruction.”

Gladstone’s church had many priests. They weren’t at high levels, but only they had the divine Light power. Their level didn’t matter. Link could create a focus crystal to raise the density of the power.

“Then let’s go.”

“We’ll fly back invisible.”

They had to find clues when coming, so they’d been a bit slow. They didn’t have that worry now. Link picked Celine up, cast the Traceless and Void Walk spell, and started flying to the church.

The church was between the garden and business zone. It wasn’t too far, but it was nighttime. Link couldn’t see far, so he didn’t fly too quickly.

Around ten minutes later, they landed in the square before the church.

As soon as he landed, something felt off. Link sniffed and gripped his sword. “It smells like fresh blood. Someone has just been killed!”

Shocked, Celine grasped her guns.

Link continued forward, quickly getting to the white stone steps before the church. The bloody smell was heavier here with a chaotic aura mingled within. It was the Naga power.

Stunned, Link quietly unsheathed the Dragon King’s Fury sword and continued walking. A few steps later, he found a corpse behind the pillar by the door. It was a young priest around 20 years old. There was a hole in his chest; the fresh blood stood in stark contrast to his white robe.

“It’s the Nagas! I can sense the commander’s aura. She was here!” Link narrowed his eyes, murderous intent rising within.

The church’s door was pushed open to allow a person in. Walking through the crack, Link saw that corpses were strewn across the room.

Regular priests, Holy Knights, bishops, and even the servants had all been killed. No one was spared.

Link and Celine walked over. Every corpse had the same wound—a clear hole. The Nagas liked using spears. They definitely did this.

There weren’t many signs of struggle, meaning the Nagas were powerful and the priests had no way of fighting back.

Going through the church, Link searched every room but found no survivors. Corpses were everywhere. The divine objects had all been destroyed too. Even the holy water of the repentance pool was polluted with dark magic.

“The commander guessed my plan and destroyed the source of the solution!”

Only a god’s power could counter another god. This was the rule!

The Nagas had killed all light priests in the city. Even if Link found a way to cure the plague, he would have no way of doing so. He could only watch helplessly as the plague rampaged through the city.

With the physiques of the regular people, their bodies and souls would be destroyed by the plague. Even if he got rid of the disease, it was useless.

“Those Nagas are so cruel!” Celine’s blood ran cold.

Link sank into deep thought. The priests here were gone, but there were still some at the Orida Fortress and neighboring cities. With Link’s speed, he could transport them over.

So they must have just done this offhandedly to create trouble for Link…or even to lure him over.

Thinking of this, Link’s heart twitched. If he’d guessed correctly, this place was already surrounded. It was easy to confirm this. They knew he was a Spatial Magician. To trap him, they would lock the surrounding space.

He activated his Dragon Power and cast the Spatial Detection spell to test the spatial frequency.

A red dot of light appeared and exploded like fireworks. One second later, Link confirmed his guess. The space here was completely locked. “We walked into a trap,” he whispered to Celine.

As soon as he spoke, a seductive voice rang out. “Link, I’ve waited for more than an hour.”

The black-haired Naga walked in from the entrance.

Link smiled, totally unmoved. “Great, I was looking for you too.”
