946 Force (1/2)
The power of the A-virus was strong to begin with. Afterwards, the 'Stairway of the Sun' had even absorbed the mysterious extraterrestrial meteor and gobbled up Treebeard's Golden Fruits in the world of the Lord of the Rings, providing it with an enormous amount of energy and allowing it to separate into an animal form and a plant form. Finally, after the breakthrough challenge battle in this world, it also devoured one of its own kind. It had matured into a rather formidable stage by now.
Therefore, although Sheyan's 'Pestilence Monarch' was naturally weak against holy divine power, the divine power could only restrain 'Pestilence Monarch' to some extent, and was not completely immune to it!
Were priests and monks immune to sickness? At most, their chances of falling ill were smaller, and their conditions less severe. Therefore, Sheyan successfully spread his pneumonia to the Cardinal. The symptoms flared up immediately!
The first symptom that surfaced was severe coughing and expectoration. Sheyan's disease could be said to be quite strong so the negative effects were also very severe!
The Cardinal's brows furrowed because he could immediately feel the unbearable itch and pain in his throat, trachea, and lungs. A lump of thick, sticky phlegm was stuck in his throat, blocking his breathing, and he was forced to cough it out! Currently, in Sheyan's vision, the Cardinal was surrounded by a holy light, but there was a mass of black air around his respiratory tract.
As soon as the Cardinal became aware that something was amiss, he immediately directed the holy glow around his body towards the areas where the disease attacked. The black air signifying the disease was almost instantly overwhelmed by the light. However, Sheyan knew very well that with the Cardinal's current strength, while he could perhaps alleviate the symptoms of the disease, it was impossible for him to cure it!
Sure enough, the Cardinal soon frowned and lightly coughed twice. The phlegm that was made by germs was corroded by the holy power. Although the strong holy power had held the upper hand from the very beginning, Sheyan and Aziz still found an opportunity.
Aziz was a formidable guy. Even when the situation presented no chances, he would create one himself. When the Cardinal coughed, he naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip. He raised his rifle with one hand and fired a shot. The glow around the bullet that shot out kept fluctuating and in the end the bullet was set ablaze.
When the Cardinal recovered from the cough, the bullet was only five meters in front of him. It was impossible for him to avoid it!
However, the Cardinal simply raised his hand and placed his palm in the bullet's path, then tightened his fist!
On the fist, the holy light glowed so brilliantly that the radiance almost blinded Sheyan's eyes! The bullet that was trapped in the Cardinal's fist could not penetrate through his palm at all. A dull explosion sounded. A few jets of black smoke mixed with flame gushed out from the gaps between his fingers, each of them half a meter long! It was obvious that Aziz's shot was very powerful, but not as powerful as this monster called the Cardinal!
He caught a bullet with his bare hand!
”Heathens....who spread diseases.....” the Cardinal did not look at Aziz who injured him, but instead stared at Sheyan. His words were spoken in a plain voice devoid of any emotion, containing only coldness. They felt like a sub-zero cold wind which blew through the barren Siberian wilderness, freezing the minds of people who heard them!
Even Sheyan, who had never been afraid of anything, felt a chill creeping up his spine when he heard the Cardinal's judgement. Those who were judged to be heathens, no matter how famous or important they were, had never had a good ending! Only one thing awaited them, and that was inhumane torture. And after the torture, they would be burned to death! ! ! !
The Inquisition's execution by fire of was definitely not as simple as being burned to death. Instead, the heathen would be tied to an ox cart and covered with rosin, then paraded around!
All of a sudden, the Cardinal raised his right hand loftily. In his hand rose a white ball of light. The ball of light didn't look very impressive and was even a little yellowish and dim.
The only thing special about it was that the ball of light would beat like a heart! Furthermore, its rhythm could actually affect the heartbeats of others, forcing their hearts to beat with the same rhythm!
Aziz fired three consecutive shots, but all of them were blocked by the Cardinal's other hand! The Cardinal nonchalantly threw the three flat and deformed bullets onto the ground.
However, Sheyan also noticed that when the Cardinal was accumulating energy into the ball of light, some black air had seeped into the main blood vessels all over his body. This was the special effect of Sheyan's disease : high fever! It forced the enemy's MP consumption to double when the enemy tried to use any ability!
