Mages Are Too OP

Chapter 672 Different Interests Between Brothers

Thomas!

Orlanto cried out.

Although Thomas was a fanatic and an inquisitor, not quite on the same page as Saint Samurai, that was only a difference in philosophy; they were still essentially on the same side.

Otherwise, Orlanto wouldn’t have taken Thomas’s side in this situation.

The stance was always greater than good or evil.

Watching Thomas turn into chunks of flesh, Orlanto roared, “Woman, I don’t care who you are, you’ll have to face the entire Church of Light now!”

“The Saint Samurai isn’t reasonable.” Andonara chuckled.

Her smile was beautiful and charming.

Although a Hero, Andonara, who was a devil’s descendent, had a mixture of both innocent and bewitching qualities.

Orlanto drew out his longsword, a golden stream of light spilling from it as he pointed it at Andonara and bellowed, “Decree: Grounded.”

Since his opponent was fast, ballistic attack spells didn’t work, so he tried a crowd control divine spell.

However, Orlanto had just pointed his longsword at Andonara when the latter suddenly disappeared.

It couldn’t be said to be a complete disappearance, just a blurred streak could be seen moving sideways like a ghost before crossing over Orlanto’s body and slaughtering the Inquisitors in its wake.

This was true carnage.

Orlanto’s divine spell failed again.

Even when it came to crowd-control divine spells, one had to have a target that they could see for it to work.

Otherwise, one could only cast it at the air.

Orlanto heard screams behind him, and he turned around, his eyes glowed red and almost popped out of their sockets.

In just a second or two, the Inquisition had lost another hundred or so people.

They frantically bombarded Andonara with their offensive divine spells, but it was of no use at all. Whether it was light blasts, light spears, or control skills, they all fell short.

No sooner had they lifted their fingers than Andonara had either hit them with a sword sweep or moved behind them.

Screams sounded one after another and Andonara’s slaughter continued.

“Damn!” Orlanto’s mentality was no longer stable.

Even for a Saint Samurai, there was a limit to how strong the mind could be; otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a Saint Samurai corrupted by devils. Now Orlanto’s mind began to stir; after all, no matter who it was, watching so many of their companions die before their eyes and being helpless to do anything about it was a painful feeling that no one could easily suppress. Unless that person didn’t care about the lives of their companions.

Another hundred or so inquisitors were beheaded, but Andonara suddenly sprinted backward.

In the next second, a long light spear plunged into the spot where she had been standing before.

This golden spear of light was even longer, darker, and more solid-looking than the other light spears used by the other Priests of light, as if it was a real golden spear.

Andonara looked up and there was a woman with golden wings floating in the air.

This woman she’d seen before.

The Holy Lady!

That wasn’t all; four more men with wings and golden armor flew over at great speed in the distance. Including Orlanto, who was already present, Andonara would now be facing a combination of a Holy Lady and five Saint Samurai.

“Time to go.”

Andonara smiled at the Holy Lady in the air, turned, and leaped up. The firebird that encircled her body spread its wings and flew off, carrying Andonara toward the outskirts of the city.

The Holy Lady watched her in silence.

Behind her, four Saint Samurai rushed over. Three of them looked at the three hundred or so bodies on the ground and immediately flew down to join Orlanto to find those companions who were not yet dead to heal.

The other one stayed by the Holy Lady’s side and asked in a whisper, “Do we need to chase her?”

The Holy Lady shook her head. “No, she’s too powerful. She can’t be held back without more than three Saint Samurai. The people in the Holy Realm are on edge, we need you to stay and help steady the population.”

“But she does smell like a devil, maybe she was really the one who corrupted Rolben. Rolben is a bit lecherous.”

The Holy Lady shook her head. “It can’t be her… but no matter what, it is a fact that more than three hundred of our companions were killed by her. Let’s settle the score with her later.”

This Saint Samurai nodded and went down to join the other four companions in saving people.

Meanwhile, Roland teleported Stephanie and Lady Bluebird to Delpon and put them up in his manor.

This was his territory, and besides, even if the Church of Light had the intention of arresting them, it was unlikely that they would come to his door so quickly.

Even though there was a small Church of Light in Delpon, there were only three or four mediocre Priests who could only do Healing and Detoxification.

They were speakers of their faith, not combatants.

There was almost no threat.

Looking at the familiar scenery, Stephanie sighed in relief as she found herself a place to sit down. She directed the maidservant next to her. “Make some wine for us, and oh, make some dessert too.”

The maid recognized Stephanie and immediately turned and went to prepare things.

Lady Bluebird was rather nervous.

After all, she had come to a new environment.

And now she was pale and very nauseous!

People who experienced Long-Distance Teleportation for the first time felt this way with varying intensity. She desperately tried to hold back the discomfort of her stomach turning over and was on the verge of losing control.

Seeing this, Stephanie immediately stepped to the side.

It didn’t take long for the sound of vomiting to come from the other side of the lawn.

While helping Lady Bluebird, Stephanie asked, “Betty, can you stay here with me for a while?”

“Of course.” Betty smiled with difficulty. It wasn’t that she was reluctant, but her stomach was still upset right now.

“What about your husband? He’ll have a problem with you being away from home for too long, won’t he?”.

“It’s okay!” Lady Bluebird said indifferently. “I guess he’s still on that woman’s belly right now. I don’t mind him getting a lover-all noblemen have a few lovers—but not coming home every day for a lover, I’ve long been disappointed.”

Stephanie sighed in relief.

Now that Andonara wasn’t around, she couldn’t help but feel a bit alone in this place.

When Lady Bluebird was almost done throwing up, Stephanie helped her back into the courtyard.

At the same time, she looked at Roland and said, “We should be safe here, so why don’t you go and get Anna back now.” “I will, but before that, I have to do something.”

After saying that, Roland then pinged Schuck in the guild chat.

Roland: “Something big is going on in the Holy Realm.”

Schuck: “What’s the big deal?”

Roland told the story of what had happened.

Schuck: “Holy sh*t! Quickly teleport over here to pick me up and send me back to Holy Realm.”

After Roland gave some instructions to Stephanie, he immediately teleported to the Realm of Devils.

Because the Church of Light’s expeditionary force had been capturing the succubi and had left its previous location, it took Roland half an hour to find the vanguard of the Church of Light’s expeditionary force.

He landed just in time to see Schuck handing things over to Dinah.

“I will return to the Holy Realm first, and you will immediately return with the army as well. March with haste, got it?”

Dinah nodded repeatedly.

After Roland landed, Schuck immediately approached him.

Without saying anything, the two stood together and teleported back to the suburbs of the capital of Fareins.

Both of them looked at the capital, their expressions somewhat stern.

Because at this time, there were three semi-circular barriers huddled together in the sky above the capital.

Gold, mauve, and blue.

Looking at the location and color of the three barriers, it was clear that they were the protective barriers of the Church of Light, the royal family, and the Association of Mages respectively.

“Roland, I’m going to go back to Holy Realm first and I’ll see if I can stop this farce.” Schuck clenched his fists tightly. “So what about you?”

“I’m going to find Andonara.”

Because of the equality contract, within a certain distance, Roland was able to sense Andonara’s approximate location.

“I will try my best to make things right. The capital can’t be in chaos.” Schuck stared into Roland’s eyes and said seriously, “The Church of Light is my base, and the royal family of Fareins and the Association of Mages are very close to you, so if we fight, both of our interests will be greatly affected. When the time comes, I will also trouble you to put in some good words between these two forces.”

Roland nodded. “No problem.”

“Thanks.”

Schuck spread his wings and flew off toward the city. Meanwhile, Roland flew toward the forest on the outskirts, and soon, he found Andonara.

She was sitting by a tree near a creek, skewering a roasted wild boar with a long wooden stick.

She could sense Roland, too, and smiled and waved skyward as he appeared. When Roland landed, she immediately chopped off a piece of the boar’s leg meat and handed it to Roland, smiling coquettishly. “This boar meat is very tender. It’s delicious, try it.” “So laid back and high-profile?” asked Roland, taking the roast and biting into it. It did taste good. “Not afraid of people coming after you?” The roasting was bound to cause smoke and it would be easy to spot from afar. Andonara smiled. “Not afraid. They are no match for me. If you hadn’t stopped me from killing them, I could have taken my time and killed them slowly.”

“That’s impressive.”

The pretty young woman was content to hear her man’s compliment and leaned close to him while looking at him coquettishly. “Why don’t we try it in the woods, I hear it feels good too.”

Roland felt a soreness in his back at once.

Schuck flew into the Holy Realm.

The light barrier wouldn’t block people who had the power of light.

After he landed, he immediately rushed to the Holy Lady’s chamber.

The Holy Lady was surprised and happy to see him back. “Schuck, weren’t you in the Realm of Devils?”

“I had a friend send me back with Teleportation.”

“Roland?” The Holy Lady immediately thought of who it was.

Schuck nodded, then asked, “Holy Lady, would you be so kind as to go over the details of what happened with me?”.

“I don’t know too much, so what I say may not be the whole story.”

The Holy Lady sat down very ladylike across from Schuck and told him exactly what she knew.

“Where is Rolben locked up now?”

“The basement of the Cathedral of Light, just under house arrest.”

Schuck nodded. “I want to go see him. Do I need permission?”

“No, you are a Saint Samurai, you don’t need any permission.” The Holy Lady also stood up. “I’ll go with you. I also have some questions to ask him as well.”

The two of them went down to the basement of the Cathedral of Light and met Rolben.

The glow was completely gone from the man, and there was even some evil magic power leaking from him.

When he saw Schuck and the Holy Lady coming down at the same time, he revealed a wicked smile. “Yo, it’s actually our most beloved Thirteen and the most beautiful Holy Lady appearing at the same time—who would believe that you two didn’t have an affair.” The Holy Lady blushed slightly. “Rolben, what are you still blabbering about now?”

“I’m telling the truth.” Rolben gripped the bars with both hands. “I just don’t understand why no one says Schuck is lecherous when he rides a dragon and messes around with so many women. Even if someone brings a succubus back to Holy Realm, no one says they’re lecherous. All I did was roll around on a bed with a female believer, and you guys criticize me every day. On what grounds!”

Schuck shook his head. “You still haven’t figured out what you’ve done wrong? No wonder you were corrupted by the devils.”

“What did I do wrong? I just did the same thing as you guys, why should I have to…”

Schuck turned and walked away.

The Holy Lady glanced at Rolben as she too sighed and left.

Now Schuck didn’t want to care about Rolben.

He hurried to the papal hall and met the Pope. At this moment, the Pope was sitting on the throne with a troubled and helpless expression.

When Schuck saw him, he immediately said, “Pope, I don’t understand why you didn’t stop the Inquisition.”

“I didn’t know they would make such a big deal out of it,” the Pope said helplessly.

Schuck shook his head, “No, you knew.”

“You’re questioning me?” The Pope sat up straight.

Schuck said slowly, “I felt that something was wrong before. Why were Dinah and I the commanders of the crusade against the Realm of Devils, when neither of us was qualified to command such a big operation, no matter our seniority or strength? Now I understand; you all deliberately sent the two of us away.” The Holy Lady looked at Schuck in surprise. Her political know-how wasn’t bad, and hearing this, she already understood the meaning in Schuck’s words.

“Why do you say that?”

“Because you and I are the only two people capable of stopping the Inquisition from messing things up.” Schuck looked disappointedly at the Pope on his throne. “But you wouldn’t stop them, you’d just let it happen on purpose.”

The Pope gripped the handles of the throne with both hands. “Schuck, even if you are a Saint Samurai, you can’t insult a Pope like that. I am still the ostensible symbol of the Church of the Light.”

“Pope, I respect you, but this is something that you did wrong,” Schuck said lightly. “Even if your intentions were for the good of the Temple of Light, this isn’t a good time for our church to expand.”

“You really saw through things?” The Pope smiled gratefully and said, “Not bad, worthy of being the most favored child of the Goddess.”

“Don’t you do anything.” After Schuck said this, he turned around and left.

“Where are you going?” the Pope asked, looking at his back.

“To find the Inquisition. These idiots need a beating,” Schuck said regretfully. “And then go and make peace with the royal family.”

The Holy Lady shook her head. “That’s impossible, they won’t agree. Things have already come this far.”

“We’ll apologize,” Schuck continued.

“Still impossible.” The Holy Lady walked over to stand next to Schuck, “Even if the Pope and I apologize to the royal family, this matter won’t be settled so easily.”

“What if the Goddess apologizes?”

The Holy Lady’s eyes went wide. She stopped in her tracks… She was stunned by Schuck’s words.
