It was a really strange feeling. For some reason, despite knowing that the assassin was an enemy, the cavaliers and the Godly Servants couldn't help but feel nervous for him at this moment. They were all subconsciously captured by the mysterious assassin as he showed his miracle-like techniques. They were secretly rooting for him, and they would sometimes gasp when the situation got too dangerous.
[God's Favorite Child] Kaka was standing among the cavaliers and the Godly Servants.
He was really calm from the beginning. The smile on his handsome face was really shiny, but his crystal-like eyes got brighter and brighter.
The 30 seconds felt like 30 decades.
Gradually, the assassin who was being showered by dragon lances moved slower and slower.
Under the control of Balesi, the space the assassin had to move around got smaller and smaller. In the end, there was nowhere to run, and the assassin had to change his body's position to dodge the lances.
Soon, wounds started to appear on his body; the wind the dragon lances created cut a lot of small wounds on the assassin's body.
The cavaliers and the Godly Servants saw a series of afterimages in the same area. Every time a lance pierced through the assassin's body, the audience would find that the lance only pierced through an afterimage.
This assassin had displayed an unimaginable level of coordination and agility.
These abilities were beyond many people's understanding.
"Are you in the final moment? Too bad that you are using your insane skills to fight against the Holy Church. In the end, your corpse can't even stay intact." A bit of unwillingness appeared on Balesi' face as he stood in the sky and shot down dragon lances made by his Holy Power. He wasn't sorry for this reckless assassin; he was only sad that these insane abilities couldn't be kept.
"Yuck! Stop acting!"
The assassin who was still changing his body's positions laughed back. Suddenly, a huge sky-blue colored shield appeared in his hand, and it completely blocked all the dragon lances that were coming at him. For a moment, the dragon lances couldn't penetrate through the shield. Loud explosion noises sounded, and the land even started to shake.
Under the thrust of numerous dragon lances, the assassin and his shield started to sink into the frozen ground that was harder than steel.
The cavaliers and Godly Servants saw blood spurting out of the assassin's mouth and nose. If he wasn't wearing a special black metal bask, his face would have been all stained. Finally, the assassin was nailed into the frozen ground and a huge circular pit that was about four meters in diameter formed in the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The dragon lances formed by the Holy Power continued to rain down and dash into the huge black pit. They created clouds of dust and chipped a lot of rocks.
After three minutes, Balesi finally stopped attacking. All the dragon lances around him stopped moving, and he carefully looked at the deep pit on the ground. However, the clouds of dust in the air blocked everyone's sight. No one knew how deep the pit was, no one knew what was happening inside the pit, and no one knew if the talented assassin was still alive or not.
This time, Balesi didn't order cavaliers to go into the pit like last time.
He suddenly dashed into the pit himself. He was a Moon-Class Elite, and he wanted to see what was going on first-hand.
The cavaliers, Godly Servants, and Kaka were all waiting for the results on the ground. For some reason, they all felt like something bad was about to happen despite the fact that Balesi was a Moon-Class Elite.
At this moment –
"Ah... gods... Undead….. Undead Mage!"
A hoarse and extremely terrified voice sounded from the deep pit, and a bright silver Poly Power shot up into the sky following the scream. However, it was clear that a light grey and blueish fog was mixed in with the Holy Power. This fog-like power had a gloomy and chilly feel to it, and it felt like it could instantly freeze up someone's blood.
"God! Undead Mag! Evil Undead Mage!"
"Damn, that guy is an Undead Mage... Undead…. AHAHAHA..."
"Sh*t, shi*t! What should we do!"
"Impossible!"
The cavaliers and the Godly Servants were all shocked. They shouted loudly and couldn't believe what was going on. As if the most unimaginable event took place, their voices even changed.
[God's Favorite Child] Kaka who had the warm smile on his face also frowned. His expression froze, and he could no longer take it casually.
Everyone was sure that the strands of grey and blueish fog-like power that was within the Holy Power were the evil and terrifying Undead Magic Power!
It was also the Undead Magic Power in its purest form.
Even [God's Favorite Child] Kaka had never seen such a pure Undead Magic Power despite his vast knowledge. This power was equivalent to the evillest and most terrifying power that could corrode away anything.
Since the inception of the Holy Church, they had been fighting Undead Mages. The history of the grudge between the two forces was buried in the dust of the time, but many people thought that the Undead Magic Power was the only counter for the Holy Power. Although the Undead Mages were associated with corpses and dead people and were disliked by many, the real reason why Holy Church wiped them out was that the dominating Holy Church would never allow a group of people who could counter them to exist.
Light and Darkness were co-existing, and yet they counter each other.
The Bright Holy Power and the Undead Magic Power were the same. One of them wasn't stronger than the other; there were only stronger practitioners.
At the moment, the Undead Magic Power was so pure that it dominated over the Holy Power Balesi had. That grey yet blueish Undead Magic Power was the purest Undead Magic Power in this world. Even the pureness of Kaka's golden Holy Power might not even compare to this. Perhaps only the legendary Godly Holy Power that the Pope had could rival against this purest Undead Magic Power.
In a few moments, the silver Holy Power that had filled the valley was almost completely corroded by the Undead Magic Power. It was getting weaker and weaker.
This meant that Balesi who was battling with the Undead Mage inside the pit was at a disadvantage.
After a series of anxious and angry shouts sounded from the pit, everyone on the ground got nervous. "How powerful is this Undead Mage? He is able to put Balesi who is a Moon-Class Elite into a disadvantage so fast?" They thought. Once Balesi was defeated, it was unlikely that people here today could survive.
Kaka's face changed color. As he was about to say something, changes occurred –
A terrifying silver Holy Power shot into the sky, and a series of booming noises sounded afterward. Then, a figure who looked anxious rushed out of the pit as he was enveloped by this Holy Power.
"It is Mr. Balesi!"
"Mr. Balesi got out!"
Everyone relaxed. As they were about to let go of the breath that they were holding in for a long time, a sharp bone spear that reflected a chilly glare caught up with Balesi. It dashed through the fog-like Undead Magic Power and pierced through Balesi's left chest as it made a loud air-piercing noise.
Boom!
A huge hole was created in Balesi' chest, and blood, as well as chipped bones, fall out of there.
Balesi fell down from the sky as blood also leaked out of all seven openings on his head including his nostrils, ears, eyes, and mouth. He was severely injured.
"Protect Mr. Balesi."
"Quick! Protect Mr. Balesi!"
The cavaliers and the Godly Servants quickly surrounded Balesi who already fainted after being reminded by [God's Favorite Child] Kaka. They all looked at the vague figure who also jumped out of the pit. With dense layers of Undead Magic Power and white bones circling around this figure, it was hard to tell what this person looked like. They couldn't be sure if this was the same person as that skillful assassin.
Tap!
Tap, tap!
Tap, tap, tap, tap!
A series of clear yet heavy footsteps sounded, and they hammered the nerves of the cavaliers and the Godly Servants. The atmosphere was really intense.
"Quick! Set up the Bright Array!" Someone shouted and reminded all of the cavaliers and Godly Servants.
More than a dozen Godly Servants started to chant a series of indescribable and vague phrases, and the cavaliers all stomped on the ground as silver Battle Rings appeared under their feet. The wave-like Battle Rings started to expand, and they soon merged with the silver Holy Power emitted by the Godly Servants. Together, they formed a huge silver sphere that was more than 100 meters in diameter. Numerous silver runes started to appear on the sphere as well on the ground. A huge Bright Holy Power Magic Array was constructed in time.
This time, that terrifying Undead Mage finally walked out of the cloud of fog-like Undead Magic Power.
Within 20 centimeters from him, there was huge armor that was made from white bones. The bones flew around him and protected him in all directions. His grey and white long hair was fluttering in the air, and his face was covered-up by a magic mask. Only his eyes were exposed, and they were emitting dark-blue lights as if they were two lanterns. In his left hand, he was holding onto a strange shield made from purple bones and skeleton heads. In his right hand, he was holding onto a magic wand that was about half a meter long and had a white skeleton head on the tip of it. The entire body of this Undead Mage was covered with that grey and blueish fog-like Undead Magic Power, and he looked scary and murderous.
