Chapter 161 - 157: Petar Who Was Calculated to Death
Chapter 161: Chapter 157: Petar Who Was Calculated to Death
Lis did not bother with the few players anymore, letting them tag along was merely for observation, not expecting them to be of any actual help.
The task from the All Beast Church, if one were to speak of it, was at least a Gold Level mission.
Even several months after the game launched, when the Blood Sacrifice Chaos of the All Beast Church erupted, the players were nothing more than background, with not the slightest chance to resist.
They were nearly at the house in Kutena. Following a gesture from Lis, Bevis waved his hand, and the soldiers following them came to a halt in unison, without any superfluous movement.
With a light tap from his magic wand on the ground, a shadowy figure emerged from the shadows under the wall not far away.
It was the Silver Assassin Lister.
...
“Did anyone enter that house after I left yesterday?”
Lis asked Lister, while Bevis and others beside him paid equal attention to this question.
“No one, Lord Lis.”
Lister was almost scared to death, bowing his head and daring not to speak more.
What was this formation? Especially the line standing next to Lis, each of their auras was no weaker than Death Eagle Tash.
Meaning, these six or seven people were all Gold Level strongmen!
“Mm.”
Lis looked towards Bevis and Audis, and Audis nodded.
Four-Circle Magic [Silent Skill]!
Seven-Circle Spell [Group Invisibility Technique]!
Under the effect of Audis’s spell, the figures of Lis and his team gradually disappeared into the air, and the soldiers behind them did not show any signs of curiosity, just silently standing in place, waiting for orders.
“Where is it?”
Audis’s voice sounded out of nowhere, but the sound of his speech stayed suspended around them and did not spread out, the same was true for their footsteps.
This was the [Silent Skill] of an Arcane Master, its effects far surpassing the original Four Rings Spell after being improved.
“Follow me, it’s in the passage behind the living room.”
Lis’s voice quickly followed, with the Golden Strong Men closely following behind Lis, heading for the basement.
The dark passageway in the house, where the candles on the sides used for lighting were long extinguished, seemed as if no one had been there for a long time.
Lis pointed at the basement door just within reach, signaling Bevis and Audis.
After Audis inspected it carefully, he nodded to Bevis, indicating that the door was indeed enchanted with the [Flipping Gate] spell.
Furthermore, Audis did sense a foreboding trace, as if something deeply dark and dangerous was lurking within.
Once confirmed, Bevis spoke no more and gestured for Lis and the others to take a few steps back.
How to enter the secret chamber behind the [Flipping Gate]?
The simplest method was to break through it with an attack exceeding the [Flipping Gate]’s endurance limit.
And Bevis was the most suitable person at the scene to do this.
Bevis took a deep breath, as if he was about to exhaust all the air around him, mobilizing all his strength, his skin slightly reddening, as a pure, dazzling gold light started to congregate on the longsword he held in both hands.
This was the Power of Breaking Magic, a strength that Gold Warriors relied upon to contend with Mages and other late-stage professions.
[Martial Arts: The Golden Lion’s Claw]!
The now wholly golden longsword fiercely slashed at the [Flipping Gate], and under Bevis’s formidable martial force, the Seven-Circle Spell had no strength to resist, shattering instantly.
…
Behind the [Flipping Gate], inside the secret chamber.
Petar sat down after he had finished the scheduled communication with Kaiser for the day.
The number of Magic Beasts scheduled to be sent was still far from enough, and he wondered how Kaiser’s preparations were going.
For some reason, ever since the young Mage had left yesterday, Petar had been feeling restless, as if something bad was about to happen.
Yet he had checked the secret chamber several times, and the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony Array was working normally with no problems.
The Magic Beasts were also peacefully sleeping under the influence of the potions and the Divine Power of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, with no mishaps occurring.
But he couldn’t shake the feeling of impending doom, and as time passed, the shadow hanging over his heart grew darker and more ominous.
Something was definitely wrong, very wrong!
There was something off about that young Mage from yesterday!
Petar could no longer sit still; he stood up from his chair, about to notify Kaiser of the situation.
Just at that moment, he suddenly saw a golden crack appearing on the Flipping Gate.
Boom!
A thunderous noise came out of nowhere, and the house, though fortified with various secret techniques, shattered abruptly, and several figures suddenly charged towards Petar through the smoke.
“Damn!”
How could Petar not realize what had happened? Had the Kingdom’s strong men already come knocking?
He quickly retreated, pulling out the communication device that Kaiser had given him, but no matter how Kaiser tried to activate it, there was no response.
Petar looked up to see an old man in a luxurious Mage Robe standing outside the door, with his Magic Wand radiating an inexplicable glow.
If it were communication between strong men of the same level, it might be tricky for Audis, but interfering with a communication device was still quite simple for him.
Although Lis and the others were prepared to strike the grass and startle the snake, slowing down the All Beast Church’s information gathering time would also allow them to focus on cleaning up this arrangement first.
“Damn, our communication has been interfered with!”
Petar’s thoughts raced, the situation was already as bad as it could get.
There was no time to hesitate. Remembering Kaiser’s admonition, Petar gritted his teeth and fiercely smashed the ground, activating the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony Array imprinted there, and at the same time, he released the Divine Arts covering the sleeping Magic Beasts.
Bevis saw the blood array on the ground emitting a vicious aura, and the various sizes of Magic Beasts awakening on one side of the secret chamber; his expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became much more ferocious.
Well done, you fools of the Evil God Church!
Seeking death!
In his anger, Bevis felt a tinge of relief; thankfully, Lis had discovered it, or else, if these Evil God Sect members had been fully prepared, who knows what kind of painful disaster they would have caused in Bright City.
Without further thought, Bevis charged ahead, his sword falling mightily towards Petar.
Petar pulled out a mace covered with various barbs and managed to block Bevis’s sword with difficulty.
As a ruthless man who had survived the baptism of the Evil God, Petar was cruel to others, and even more so to himself.
This was why he acted without restraint within the All Beast Church.
But even so, his strength was far inferior to Bevis, the Kingdom’s number one warrior, and moreover, Bevis was not going to show him any Knightly etiquette this time.
The Gold Rank strong men from the Knight Order who followed him made their moves, and thus began the righteous beating of Petar.
Petar was unable to block for long before he was seriously injured, and could no longer get up; Bevis grabbed him by the neck and held him aloft.
Lis stood by Audis, keeping a close eye on the battle.
Petar’s downfall was only the beginning; a greater danger still lay ahead.
As the Magic Beasts gradually woke up, the spreading of their ferocious and savage auras had already begun to spread outward.
