Chapter 347: Awakening
At this moment, Purlimont really would seek help; he didn’t have the courage to run away.
The situation had become serious, beyond his control.
This incident was certainly the work of the entire Pande Empire behind the scenes; otherwise, he and Ricardo wouldn’t have been able to miss it.
Once the Pope of the Flame War God finished analyzing the situation, everyone sprang into action.
The eighth-tier members of the major churches took their positions at the nodes of the magic circle, and all the Divine Artifacts were moved to the right places, slowly forming a large magic circle with everyone’s effort.
The Goblin War Machine was brought close to the altar, transforming from the shape of a war chariot into a huge shield, while Karoso and the others stepped back.
Along with them came the dark elves.
Watching the dark elves being experimented on, everyone understood why Minaret wanted to kill Ricardo.
"You little ones, hurry back. There is no reason for you to be here." Celica said quickly when she saw a few people come out, "If that guy comes out and you even catch a glimpse of him, you will turn into a Death Knight."
"I’m going back right now!" Saaya said as if he had been set free.
He did not want to stay in this creepy place for even a moment.
It can be said that besides breaking into the control room, he was not familiar with the story. Karoso and his strategic discussions only reached the control room…
"Hmm…" Kirmin looked reluctantly at the huge ‘shield.’
"Don’t worry, I’ll escort them." Alita quickly took on the task for herself.
"Master 『』, you can’t help here anymore." Celica called 『』 over, "Let’s go."
"Okay." 『』 took out all the cards she had, after that, she really couldn’t be of any help.
She didn’t expect that just simply accompanying Karoso to dig a hole would lead her to be part of an action that could decide the fate of a province.
If the support from the Church of Dawn Goddess does not arrive in time, none of the eighth-tier people present will survive. They are all the elite leaders of the major churches!
If we fail here and the eighth-tier falls, the death energy will quickly spread throughout the entire province, causing a disaster more terrible than what happened in Canglang Province.
At that time in Canglang Province, there was only one ninth-tier opponent, but this time, we are facing an opponent with godly powers!
No one ever thought that one day they would be involved in actions that could kill a god… or at the very least, suppress one.
Everyone can only pray that this god is incomplete, for example, that the source of its power could be cut off, or that it can only unleash its divine power for a short period, remaining a ninth-tier being in essence.
"They are leaving, but I will not," said Karoso.
"Take a ship, and return to your own country," Minaret said as she sat on a large rock, playing with the dagger in her hand.
Faced with something of this level, she was not confident in keeping Karoso safe.
Bang!
At that moment, the earth seemed to shake slightly.
When the crowd removed the suppressing Divine Artifact, more and more cracks appeared on the statue in the pit, and many fragments fell from the armor.
Each fragment of stone could cause an earthquake.
Beneath the fragments lay brand new deep blue armor, which still carried a hint of coldness.
Just a glance was enough for a seventh-tier to instantly fall into a Death Knight.
Karoso, Saaya, Aileen, and Kirmin probably didn’t even have the right to take a look.
"Karoso, this time, listen to the teacher," 『』 said with a serious tone. "We must leave immediately! If you can contact Elizabeth, do it quickly, or it might spread too fast, and even the Black Pearl won’t be able to hold on."
"This… alright," Karoso replied helplessly.
It seems that the only choice is to sneak back later.
"I…" Aileen wanted to speak, but Karoso grabbed her.
"They are right; this is not the time to be reckless." Karoso looked serious. "I know you want to know the truth, but our strength is too low to face it."
"To know the truth, you must be alive. Besides, asking the empire for help is definitely easier than discovering it on your own."
"Okay…" Aileen sighed.
After Karoso and the others left, Celica thought for a moment and called a few people. "Remember, we need to guard against both the inside and the outside. I suspect… there may be others coming from outside."
……
When Karoso and the others reached the Laria area, they discovered that waves of black mist had surrounded the place, making even Laria’s shadow invisible.
Furthermore, the deeper they went, the colder it became. The black mist seemed like tentacles, as if it were alive.
"Damn it…" 『』’s face changed slightly. "This thing has surrounded us!"
At the innermost altar, a circle of eighth-tier warriors stood with their equipment, and beyond them was the black mist.
Boom!
At that moment, a powerful force broke through the black mist and charged inside.
"Quick, go out that way!" Alita saw this and was just about to get up when she noticed the black mist closing again.
She decisively took out a card and threw it at the black mist.
[Name: Staff of Order]
[Category: Spell]
[Star Level: 8]
[Grade: Blue Rare]
[Occupational Restriction: Pastor]
[Introduction: Pastor, who can also fight up close!]
[Damn it, I regret using this description in this card. Later, a Pastor forced me to create a whole set of warrior equipment suitable for a Pastor.]
Alita suddenly had a staff in her hand, and she decisively struck at the black mist.
Bang!
Alita was knocked back three steps.
"Damn it, unless we both have full magic power and work together, we can’t create a way out," Alita said with a pale face.
"It’s getting stronger…" 『』 frowned and said, "It has been growing stronger here. The death energy from different places is being blocked outside the magic circle made of Divine Artifacts…"
"Who just went in? Karoso, do you know them? Can you get them to let us out?" Saaya spoke up.
"I couldn’t see clearly." Karoso shook his head.
This time, there was no need to find a way to sneak out; we couldn’t get out.
[Speaking of which, even though I know Master Karoso’s entire plan, it still feels a bit risky.]
[It’s not just risky; it’s dangerous.]
[Master Karoso told us he is seventy percent sure, but I feel like he is just trying to comfort us.]
[Why does Master Karoso always put his life at risk to improve one thing?]
"Even if I could see clearly, there wouldn’t be time to handle this matter." 『』 looked inside with worry.
"By the way, why aren’t you scared?" Saaya looked at Kirmin.
"With so many important people here, why should I be scared?" Kirmin blinked her eyes.
She was also surprised; normally, in this kind of situation, being scared is usual, but today she wasn’t afraid at all.
Perhaps it was the sense of safety that those important people gave me?
"Huff…" Saaya felt a bit of a toothache, "If I die here, it’s all your fault!"
"Right, why are we even dealing with this mess?" Alita sat down on the ground, feeling lazy.
"It’s the same outside; in this event, I fear no one will escape. At least we can face it together…" Just as 『』 finished speaking, a deafening roar came from a distance.
That guy… seems to have broken the seal.
"Sorry, we can’t wait any longer," a dark elf said, "The queen’s task is to keep us alive."
"You can get out?" Saaya looked surprised.
A hint of sorrow flashed in the dark elf’s eyes, "This aura… we bathe in it every day; it can hurt you, but not us."
"Then you all go outside first," said Karoso.
The dark elves nodded and walked through the mist.
"Teachers, I know that if you didn’t have to take us with you, you could leave," Karoso said, looking at 『』 and Alita.
『』 and Alita were silent.
"It’s true, the two of us together can take one person out, but just one, no more than that," 『』 sighed. "This mist is scary, but if we really want to leave, we can."
Alita kept shouting that she regretted coming and was very scared, but she still didn’t leave.
Even though she always said she owed Karoso, he knew that she actually enjoyed this exciting life.
Complaining and acting careless were just appearances.
『』, on the other hand, was driven purely by a sense of responsibility.
If she is not kind enough, she cannot become the main character of the game.
"Karoso, you can go out," Aileen said with a slight smile. "Actually… I didn’t want to leave; this is my country, and seeing this situation, I can only watch. I don’t want it to be this way."
Karoso looked at 『』 and Alita. "Take me and Second Brother out, please."
Kirmin blinked and did not think about letting her go first.
This is not a matter of identity; when people are trying to survive, they often overlook these things, but today she truly did not want to leave.
"Are you serious?" 『』 raised an eyebrow.
Saaya suddenly did not want to go out; he felt that being with Karoso was the safest thing to do!
"Teacher, you know me. I wouldn’t say this if I wasn’t ready," Karoso said. "Take Second Brother out; if we wait any longer, he won’t be able to go out."
"Okay, then we will think of a way outside together." 『』 decisively took out a golden card.
Alita, feeling helpless, also stood up.
Boom!
The magic summoned by the two cards crashed forward, creating a small hole.
『』 and Alita instinctively reached for Karoso.
People are often selfish; even though others are important, in this situation, they clearly wanted to take Karoso with them.
Karoso seemed to predict the actions of the two and pulled Saaya over just as their cards struck.
The two could barely reach Karoso!
In such a dangerous moment, not even half a second could be wasted. They grabbed Saaya, their bodies covered by a shield of light, and pulled him in as well.
Buzz!
The three figures moved through the black mist and entered the world of the living.
"Alright, we can’t get too close," Karoso stretched lazily. "Let’s watch the gods battle from a distance."
……
When all the rubble fell away, Modred slowly opened his eyes.
Unlike the other Death Knights, his bones did not extend to merge with his armor; he wore real armor that was just as ice-blue as that of the Death Knights, adorned with shards of solid ice.
He had no signs of blood on him.
He held the legendary sword Sisigou, ranked at the ninth level, and took in the air of this world once more.
Modred’s mind was in chaos; he seemed to have lost his memories and everything else, staring blankly at the sky.
Feeling the endless death energy kept at bay, he suddenly became very anxious, filled with a desire to kill.
Just at that moment, a golden card fell from the sky.
[Name: Tree of Life]
[Type: Spell]
[Star Level: 9]
[Rank: Golden Legend]
[Occupational Restriction: Nature Mage]
[Description: When you can summon this tree, it means you are about to become one with nature.]
Suddenly, a small seedling appeared at Modred’s feet, and then, the seedling grew rapidly in the wind, becoming a large tree that five people could hug in just ten breaths.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Vines wrapped around Modred, endless life energy trying to seep into his armor.
"Got him!" said the Pope of the Flame War God Church, his face filled with joy.
Norma felt the death energy from Modred, and for a moment, she felt as if she were frozen!
She was a ninth-level warrior, the true top of this land!
She took the initiative to ambush Modred, which gave her a good advantage, yet even so, she still felt her body go numb.
In an instant, the vibrant Tree of Life was frozen by frost, its life force quickly fading away.
Norma felt as if her soul was going to freeze, so she hurriedly cut off her connection with the card, gasping for breath, with some ice shards even in her breaths.
"The laws of life don’t work; he is far too advanced for me…" Norma felt that she couldn’t even buy time.
Modred did not move; he just quietly watched the sky.
The little bit of joy on everyone’s faces vanished instantly without a trace.
A ninth-tier expert has taken action, and yet they didn’t even raise a finger—they just won?
"Minaret, what are you waiting for?" Celica suddenly looked at Minaret.
"Waiting for those from your church to take charge," Minaret said while playing with her dagger. "I killed a cardinal, but I don’t want to put my people in danger because of it."
Going head-to-head with the Church of the Dawn Goddess, they really dare to issue a massacre order for the sake of their pride.
Minaret isn’t afraid alone, but she has those descendants to think about.
Humans multiply so easily, and there are so many of them, but dark elves are becoming fewer and fewer.
"Can’t a cardinal make decisions?" Celica said angrily.
"No, she can’t." Minaret looked up at Modred. "And do you really think we can restrict her? Acting now will only provoke her; it’s better to wait a little longer."
"Until when?"
Modred slowly raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at the sky, muttering something under his breath.
Boom!
A wave of dark energy shot up into the sky, and a magical circle made of countless Divine Artifacts was violently shaken. He wanted to break this magical circle to let the dark energy enter his body!
Just as he was battling those Divine Artifacts, Minaret made his move.
[Name: Chaos Sky Slash]
[Category: Spell]
[Star Level: 8]
[Grade: Golden Legend]
[Job Limitation: Thief]
[Introduction: A sharp beam of light cuts through the night and seeps into dreams. It is the swift star that guides us forward, coming from afar and going to faraway places. An unimaginable light brightens the sky.]
