Chapter 406 The Destruction of the Golden Hands (1/2)
”Do you people really not trust me?” said the golden-robed apostle, sounding a bit exasperated.
”Yeah.”
”Now that you know we don't trust you, just save your breath and do as we say.”
”...” The golden-robed apostle nodded with an inscrutable expression on his face.
Just then, the ceiling caved in. A beam of golden light fell through like a waterfall. The Demon Spider Lady standing in the corner was reduced to a bloody puddle almost instantly.
The three apostles managed to conjure elemental barriers of various colors over themselves before the beam of light hit them.
The silver-robed apostle's flame elemental barrier was disintegrated in an instant. Having lost his Lord-tier familiar, he was left with two Commander-tier familiars. The paper-thin barrier that his Commander-tier familiars were able to muster didn't stand a chance against the golden beam of light.
An earth elemental barrier shimmered across the red-robed apostle's body. Compared to the other elements, the earth element was capable of providing the strongest defense.
Even though his familiar, the Saprophytic Earth Dragon, was confined within an ice prison, it was still able to erect a barrier over its trainer using a small portion of its earth elemental power.
Fragments of blue light glinted across the blue-robed apostle.
The Blue-Scaled Four-Armed River Ape stumbled as it hurried towards its trainer. Despite the terrible injury it had sustained, it still managed to erect an elemental barrier over its master using a portion of its water elemental energy. The river ape pressed one hand against its chest as it limped towards where the blue-robed apostle was, its eyes fixed fiercely in his direction!
The golden-robed apostle held out what looked like a golden rug in his right hand. The arcane markings on it began to swim and swirl until they converged into the shape of an eye.
The golden rug fluttered in the windless room, then expanded into a cape before wrapping itself around the golden-robed apostle. He now looked like some great Persian king gazing at the two surviving apostles with an aloof expression.
”You left me no choice. When I'm done with the two of you, I'll be the one to lead the Golden Hands to glory,” said the golden-robed apostle humbly.
He looked at the blue-robed apostle, whose elemental barrier seemed flimsier and dimmer than the others. Better to amputate an infected limb than let it infect the rest of the body.
Even though such a saying didn't exist in the Jinsha region's vernacular, its meaning could still be comprehended by anyone outside the Huaxia region.
The golden rug slithered across the golden-robed apostle's arm before lunging out at the blue-robed apostle. It coiled itself around its prey like a python.
The blue-robed apostle's fingers and legs that were left exposed outside the golden rug stiffened. His body spasmed for a while. Then, with a thud, he collapsed to the ground.
The Blue-Scaled Four-Armed River Ape, who was running like mad through the streets, fell to the ground at the same time.
An intense pain gripped its entire body. It was as if it had been struck by lightning. Try as it might, the river ape could no longer get back to its feet.
”Next,” said the golden-robed apostle with a faint smile as he turned towards the red-robed apostle.
Boom! The sounds of battle were drawing closer outside the window. Looking out the window, the golden-robed apostle sighed. ”Pity. Well then, I won't waste any more time on foreplay.”
He then pointed a finger at the red-robed apostle. The golden rug flew out and wrapped itself around its victim. Suddenly, the golden rug fell to the ground with a plop.
The red-robed apostle had disappeared inside it.
”Slippery old devil. Looks like he's got quite a number of tricks up his sleeve that none of us knew about.”
He called back his familiar with a gesture and walked out of the room without looking back at the fallen bodies of his former compatriots.
