Chapter 825: Chapter 307 Projection (Two-in-One Chapter)_2

As the griffin soared into the sky.

In front, controlling the griffin, Fishe quickly said: “Lord Reine, the situation isn’t looking good. This time, the leader of the Black Flame Cult is extremely powerful.”

“Even the Duke and Admiral Edward together were defeated and seriously injured.”

“Hmm? Is the situation that bad?” Reine furrowed his brow.

You know, whether it’s Duke Minter or Admiral Edward, judging by the aura they’ve just displayed, their strength seemed subtly superior to his.

Moreover, there’s that even more powerful ascetic aiding them.

Under such circumstances, even the three combined were defeated?

This made Reine feel somewhat uneasy.

“Yes, Lord Reine, he’s the one who reactivated the evil magic array.” Fishe quickly nodded.

He greatly admired Reine, younger than him but far more powerful.

Ever since seeing Reine go head-to-head with the ancient hero Mong, Fishe replaced his idol from Viscount Philke to Reine.

…

Administration Hall.

At this moment, the reinforcements from the Sword Bearer Branch also burst into the hall.

Leading the charge were Reine’s old acquaintances, Rock Team leader Battista, Remiel, and others.

In truth, this was currently the highest-ranking team from the Sword Bearer Branch, since Rosby County and Meist County were still engaged with the Sea Clan, most Sword Holder teams had already been dispatched.

On the other side of the hall, another door suddenly opened, led by a Punishment Knight who bore a striking resemblance to Brandur, similarly wielding a silver two-handed warhammer.

Following him were more than five deans and dozens of temple knights.

Indicating that the support forces of the Goddess Church had also arrived!

Upon seeing this, Duke Minter struggled to call out: “Quick! Interrupt his ascension!”

The two reinforcements immediately noticed Exeter floating in mid-air, with his aura continuously rising, and swiftly reacted, launching various forms of witchcraft and divine arts at Exeter wrapped in black fumes, like fireworks released during a ceremony.

But these colorful energy attacks were blocked by the immense whirlwind of black air, spinning rapidly around him, meters away from Exeter’s body.

Close-range attacks were virtually impossible.

Seven or eight temple knights and Sword Bearers, armed with sword and shield, had just stepped into the evil magic array, and they were like flies caught in flypaper, almost unable to move.

Luckily, their teammates quickly pulled them out.

In the central area of the evil magic array, any combatant below the level of a Great Knight couldn’t control their own blood and bodily fluids.

They were basically sent there to die.

Instead, they become the resources for Exeter’s ascension ceremony!

While Battista and that Punishment Knight were the only two who could charge into the evil magic array and not be significantly affected.

“Battista, don’t worry about us, quickly interrupt his ascension!”

“Otherwise, once he completes his ascension, there might be no one in Minter who can resist him.” Admiral Edward struggled to support himself, solemnly instructing Battista who intended to rescue him.

“Indeed! If he successfully ascends, he’ll become an epic-level powerhouse, and Minter will be defenseless!” Duke Minter, standing by, said with a grave expression.

Battista nodded with a solemn expression, retrieving an imitation Emperor’s Scepter from his back, and swiftly hurled it at the enormous black vortex floating in the air!

Instantly, the imitation Emperor’s Scepter burst out with a torrential and grand aura, violently colliding with Exeter’s black stream of air.

However, as a Third-level Crystallized Wizard, Exeter’s strength far surpassed the chief priest of a County Town.

Even the imitation Emperor’s Scepter couldn’t break the defense of the black whirlwind, only causing a dent before its energy was depleted, falling to the ground.

Nonetheless, Battista’s strike caught Exeter’s attention, who initially intended to attack Duke Minter.

Raising his hand, palm directed at Battista, suddenly, a bowl-sized black beam shot straight at Battista!

“Boom!”

In an instant, Battista, wielding a shield, was blown away over ten meters, his shield shattered at first contact, simultaneously almost completely shattering Battista’s left arm.

A single strike incapacitated a Peak Knight!

This level of power nearly brings despair.

Suddenly, Exeter’s originally joyful expression changed drastically!

“Not good!”

“This power… No! Great God of Hunting, you cannot…!”

“Ahhh!!!”

Only hearing Exeter’s scream of anguish, he lost control instantly, the originally orderly black energy suddenly became berserk.

And he rapidly spun in mid-air, with suction force surging!

Originally, Exeter could control the ceremony’s rhythm, but it seemed a majestic presence had just projected a streak of power onto this evil magic array, and onto him.

Even as a Third-level Crystallized Wizard, Exeter could not withstand such a majestic force.

He seemingly overestimated his willpower, losing his self amidst the muttering and powerful energy, absorbed excessively.

At this moment, the essence blood absorption magnified at least tenfold, and the surrounding corpses that hadn’t been processed yet were all turned into resources for the ceremony.
