Outside the church, where corpses lay strewn and bones piled up, on a battlefield where the outline of the square could barely be discerned, the two sides were locked in a standoff.
"Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you all..."
Akaman stroked a bloodstained longsword. His empty eye sockets, devoid of eyeballs, oozed chilling blood, brewing unimaginable fear and delivering a terrifying shock to everyone present.
"Akaman! You've become an undead?!"
An elder from the council exclaimed in shock and anger, "It was he who personally carried out the execution of Ackman with the Holy See, and witnessed him being burned to ashes on the cross!"
"If the dead believe in the demon god, there is a certain chance that they will be reborn."
Tyrant Crocodile gripped his greatsword, looking at Akaman standing atop a shadowy centipede, and said solemnly, "He can even obtain power far exceeding that of his former self... This is the blessing of the Demon God. His rank is, without a doubt, even greater than ours!"
"This free and fresh air, these souls floating in the void, it's so comfortable..."
Akaman sniffed the bloody scent in the air, licked his lips a few times, and his only relatively intact pupil revealed a look of intoxication. Suddenly, a glint of light flashed, igniting the flames of revenge. "Freedom, you have taken away my original rights. Then, all the torment you inflicted on me over the years, I will repay you all at once!"
In the next instant, he made a grasping motion with his hand, and the shadowy centipede beneath his feet hissed and spewed out a large cloud of corrosive black mist, which rolled forward in a fan shape!
At the same time, Tyrant Crocodile and others took the initiative to strike, attempting to kill Akaman as quickly and forcefully as possible to support the Sage!
...
"boom!"
Thunder crashed down, countless bolts of lightning engulfing one side of the battlefield. A ball of blazing fire, amidst the sea of lightning, burned fiercely. Despite the ferocity and overwhelming power of the lightning, this crimson fire continued to erupt like magma, resisting the erosion of the sea of lightning!
"Sage!"
"Oh no! The Sage is in danger!"
"team leader!"
The group of professionals who were clearing the battlefield saw that the sage, who was so noble, gentle and refined, was trapped by lightning, and they immediately had the idea of helping him.
The lightning tribulation was clearly caused by a pre-set magical pattern, but three great mages intervened and were able to analyze the pattern, thereby destroying it and rescuing the sage from the tribulation.
But before they could act, the next moment, ripples appeared in the void, and a sharp shadow shot out from the pale yellow boundary wall. Swift as lightning, a holy sword wrapped in violent lightning tribulation instantly attracted a sky full of lightning. A hundred-meter range was sealed off by chains formed from lightning shadows. The holy sword, containing a secret technique, pierced through the void, covering the hundred-meter distance in an instant!
"boom!"
The Thunder Shadow Sword light pierced through the ball of fire, accompanied by crimson blood scattering in the void. Roaring lightning followed, blasting the pierced flames apart. A sea of lightning splashed up waves tens of meters high. At the center of the Holy Sword's attack, the ground within a radius of tens of meters collapsed. A shockwave spread outwards, creating a sharp tornado and rising a mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high, which quickly drifted into the sky, shocking everyone present!
Faced with this fierce killing move, even the great mage who came to their aid fell silent, breaking out in a cold sweat as he watched this extremely brutal scene.
"Huff!"
The aftershocks created a hurricane, blowing against everyone's figures. The strong wind was like a knife, and even those wearing helmets felt a force slapping their faces hard.
Sage...
He just died like that?
"Team... Captain!"
Jay stared in astonishment at the raging lightning in the void, the electric currents raging and terrifying, with a crater over thirty meters in diameter forming at the center, exuding an aura of destruction that sent shivers down one's spine!
The Third Urban Management Brigade, who were closest to Xiao Han, were even more unable to accept this outcome. They stared at the large pit where the smoke and dust had cleared with both anticipation and fear, somewhat unable to believe that the all-knowing and all-powerful Little Fox Prince, who had saved everyone, had died in the attack of the Demon Clan, leaving no trace of his body!
Under such a devastating blow, even if the sage doesn't die, he will be in a near-death state and won't fare much better.
"This is a bit tricky."
A fleeting glimpse of tears appeared in the void. Francis gritted his teeth, his sharp teeth almost tearing his lips. Dark red light surged from his pair of emerald green eyes. Finally, his eyes solidified into pure black, his pupils like a blood moon in the night, bursting forth with bloody light.
But from the outside, it was an even more terrifying scene.
The armor covering his right shoulder cracked open, and tentacles seemed to grow from his flesh, covering half of his shoulder and even extending to his neck.
The dense tentacles flickered with wisps of electricity, and intricate and mysterious patterns appeared on them. They plundered energy factors from the void and transformed them into lightning potential, with an extremely amazing effect!
After Francis uttered those words, he looked up and his gaze sharpened.
On the other side of the void, on the roof of a half-ruined house, stood a knight in dark armor, wielding a sword. He made a grasping motion with his hand, and endless gravity pressed down on Francis's figure. The heavy force was like a towering mountain, freezing the air and slamming down hard!
Taking advantage of this moment, a figure wrapped in crimson flames shot out from the crater struck by the lightning. The tip of his sword pierced through the void, and a ball of raging fire condensed into a fire dragon, which struck Francis, who was bound by gravity, in a short instant!
The next moment, Xiao Han withdrew his gaze and quickly ran backward, not towards the chariot where the group of professionals were gathered, but towards the direction of the knight.
This person is Rom, the only remaining high-level combatant of the Gubang family, known as the Knight of Destruction, who possesses a secret technique for manipulating gravity.
"Hmph! Ignorant!"
The flames were torn apart, and Francis's eyes turned cold. His pale red pupils stared at Xiao Han, who was fleeing all the way. He casually swung the Thunder Holy Sword, and a burst of lightning burst out, tearing apart the gravity on his body. His figure broke the sound barrier and pounced out like lightning!
"Whoosh!"
A sharp armor-piercing bullet struck him, triggering an eight-fold attack that precisely shattered the tentacle on Francis's right shoulder, causing him to shudder and nearly fall from the void.
The next moment, a cold figure broke through the boundary, holding a revolver. With a turn of the cylinder in his left hand, accompanied by the emergence of a layer of magic runes, the five bullets were fired in an instant, turning into five sharp swords that tore through the void and rushed towards Francis!
"Minise!"
Francis was furious. Except for one bullet that hit him in the waist, he dodged the other four.
As flesh writhed, his shattered right shoulder healed itself, and tentacles regrowed, carrying the force of thunder. His gaze locked onto Xiao Han, who was fleeing, and with a flash of lightning, he ruthlessly gave chase!
Wise men must die!
