Dylan appeared beside Sulek with a smile on his face. "You're quite diligent. You managed to persevere this much. Although you haven't managed to destroy this church. That is actually too much to ask...
Now, let's handle this."
On Dylan's body, a colorless sword materializes in the air and transforms into sharp tendrils. Formless and malleable, the colorless tendrils stretch out. Holes upon holes appeared on the golden warrior with the dagger, penetrated by the exaggeratedly sharp tendrils.
Priest Howard's eyes narrowed. He couldn't see what the attack was but the movement in the air was quite perceiveable. "What kind of ability is this?"
Howard couldn't help but feel bad omen. 'He grew taller, his appearance somewhat changed but that's it. Where is my bad feeling coming from? He's just merely Awakened four years ago. Even if he progresses, he should only be at Noble Realm at most.'
"Senior, I understand now why you want me to destroy this church. They've done a lot of heinous crimes! Unforgivable!" Daoist Sulek, although he knew that this was only a game, it was just too immersive.
Howard's face turned ugly. "Little boy, don't talk nonsense." His staff grew brightly at this moment, blessing the eight guardians and boosting their basic defensive and offensive capabilities.
The eight golden guardians let out a howl in the sky. The one filled with holes had regenerated. Its state returned at its peak. Suddenly, they charge one after another Dylan with seven colored aura.
"Seven emotions..."
Dylan clapped his hand; at this time, the spiritual power infused in his every cell was stimulated. The phantom of a great world emerged behind Dylan, releasing a terrifying pressure as if an entire planet had decided on their location.
"I don't even need to use 1% of my strength. Well, if I use that, the Zhao Kingdom might disappear in the face of the planet accidentally." He muttered with a sigh.
PUFF! PUFF!
With the descent of the pressure, the ground cracked, and steam came out from the cracks. The entire church began to shake and the walls crumbled along with the ceiling.
The eight golden guardians and Priest Howard were forcefully pushed right to the ground.
"How is this even possible?" Howard's knees broke apart at this, causing him to screech; blood seeped out, dying the church floor.
Parts of the church began to collapse. Of course, Dylan held back a lot. His breakthrough alone from Saint to Beyonder could move tectonic plates, what's more, the Descent of his Great World, a world the same size as this world.
If he fully activates this, it would be comparable to two worlds colliding, and the world where he resides would be destroyed.
The Great World phantom behind Dylan exudes the aura of every element that exists in this world.
Spatial layers after spatial layers broke apart. The dimensions and planes began to move erratically as if they couldn't bear the weight of the descent of the world.
'It seems I can only display the phantom of the great world for ten minutes or else the Zhao Kingdom would become riddled with space storms.'
Dylan sighed.
The power of his Great World was just too much to bear for this world.
Dylan retracted his power, and the great world phantom vanished. He looked around him; Daoist Sulek was rooted on the spot and couldn't even process what had happened.
The eight golden guardians were filled with cracks, on the verge of destruction, and could fall apart at any given moment. While Priest Howard was foaming in his mouth, with his eyes rolled back.
"T-this..." Daoist Sulek couldn't help but swallow. He was unaffected just now not because he was strong, the senior could control his power perfectly and excluded him from the area of effect.
With a casual slap, Priest Howard turned to a puddle of blood. The eight golden knights disintegrated. Then, Dylan watched the church that was collapsing every second.
His gaze penetrated the secret room. The victims were there, and the little girl ran away toward the exit in panic.
A part of the ceiling fell down, squashing one of the victims like a pancake. Stumps of blood and flesh, the crackle bone scared victims. Some of them stumbled in fright due to the cruel scene while others ran even faster.
Dylan withdrew his gaze. "Well, the business here is finished." He looked at Sulek. "Have you received your reward?"
Daoist Sulek nodded furiously, still unable to believe everything that transpired. Scenes after scenes flash upon his mind. The failed attempts, the deaths. Yet, Dylan resolved everything with ease.
With a few steps, Dylan took Daoist Sulek with him using space techniques and appeared outside the church. Two minutes after them, the victim and his disciple came out with teary eyes and expressions ranging from traumatic, terrified, and listless.
In the end, the church, bit by bit, collapsed completely. Dylan gave Daoist Sulek his reward and took his new disciple with him.
His next destination was the Windset Sect!
WHOOSH!
Dylan and Maria's figure was wrapped in white light. The white light shook to the sky and vanished.
The victims of the church looked at each other with relief evident on some of their faces.
"We're finally safe. I didn't have hopes that I would be able to escape one day. But the heavens aren't blind! It saw our misery."
"What are your plans now?"
"Let's go together. After all, we've been through difficult times. We shouldn't go separate ways even though we're free now." A green-haired woman dressed in a dirt-filled gray shirt proposed.
The others nodded as well. One of them, seeing that everyone calmed down a little and came back to their senses, spoke: "From now on, we should lie low. Do not speak of what happened here nor mention anything about the church, or we'll get tracked, and we'll be in trouble..."
"Instead, let the heat die down first. When an opportune time comes, let's reveal their evil deeds!" His calm expression turned hideous real quick.
Daoist Sulek sighed at the NPCs. Why does everything about this game look real? If one isn't careful, they might even forget that this was just a game and treat this world as the real one.
