Lex was of a higher grade than Saleen. The moment Saleen mentioned it, she immediately sensed a powerful presence rushing towards their room from the sky.

The two of them were in such a hurry to put on their clothes that Lex put on the crown that Saleen had given to her. Saleen put on his devil suit along with the mask.

Lex realized now that Saleen was able to move without any difficulty in the darkness because he possessed the ability of elemental eyes. It was just that at that moment, she no longer felt embarrassed to face Saleen. Besides, danger was near, so she had to move more quickly and decisively than Saleen.

The two of them had barely just put on their clothes when the ground trembled and there was a sound on the rooftop that was like thunder. Soon after, both sides of the hall split open and cold air rushed in. A beam of light from a sword lit up the darkness and came straight at Saleen.

All of a sudden, Saleen split himself into six images instantaneously, only for one of them to be hacked into pieces by the sword. It repaired itself immediately. Saleen and the other five images surrounded Lex. Each image possessed one-sixth of Saleen’s power.

This power was not important. What was important was that the heavenly angel, who was floating in the middle of the roof of the hall that he had just split open, could not tell the difference between the real Saleen and his images. Each image possessed life aura that was no different from Saleen’s.

Saleen would never allow himself to become just a sitting duck. He cast frost and snow magic patterns to increase the damage of his spell by more than three times temporarily. He then cast the Current Cutter spell next. He did all that in different images. The angel’s sword might have split open the darkness dimension, but the latter mended itself very quickly.

It was a grade-8 environmental spell that was neither a defense nor attack spell. This type of spell was the most stable and could hardly be destroyed by external forces. Only a grade-9 Dispersing spell would be able to stop it.

The angel knew nothing about Dispersing spells. He realized that he was unable to distinguish his target from the images. By then, the lower half of his body had already completely turned into light and he had already lost more than half of his lifespan. He could very well die there if he was dealt with any more damage.

The heavenly angel did not possess a soul, but he did have desires. He raised his sword in rage and began to chant a long prayer. The surrounding magic towers were too far away. Any attack from those towers would not pose a threat to his body. There was only one human being nearby who was also a warrior. The heaven angel decided that he would use his divine spells to demolish this palace completely.

Saleen’s bedroom was constructed with solid materials so even when the heaven angel split open the palace’s roof, it did not manage to collapse the entire palace.

“God said that those who do not place their faith in religion must possess souls that are cursed. The lands that they live on have already dried up and they can no longer accept faith. My light will only cause all of them to burst…”

It was the first time the angel’s prayer could be heard so clearly and at such a stable and forceful rhythm.

The Vacuum Imprisonment spell suddenly appeared and the elements around the heavenly angel’s body was sucked out in an instant. This was an indication of a grade-7 spell. If this was a middle-level spell, only air would be sucked out while the elements would still remain.

This was even more powerful than the Speech Prohibition spell. The angel’s mouth was moving. but he was unable to continue chanting the prayer. Nevertheless, a technique like that would still be unable to stop the heaven angel’s prayer because he could use his thoughts in place of his speech. As long as one took in the power of life, he would receive God’s blessing.

Although the lower half of the angel’s body had become transparent, his attacking power was unaffected. He continued to chant the prayer in silence and the Sword of Light became so big that it was longer than ten yards.

Lex sighed. She and Saleen would not be in danger of dying because after she had advanced, her God’s Ring would enable her to utilize its defense for more than three times. Even eight to ten grade-9 heavenly angels would not be able to break through the defense dimension created by the God’s Ring, much less just one.

God’s Punishment was much more violent than the angel’s attack as those were powers borrowed directly from the Gods. As the enemies that they encountered would only get stronger, it was best to save up on the God’s Ring defense as much as possible though. It would be a waste to use it on this fellow that did not even have a brain of its own.

As a member of the royal family, Lex had extensive knowledge of the Holy See. When this angel appeared, she knew immediately who she was dealing with.

The technique that the angel had used was purely a violent attack – sword of burst.

Every object within the attacking range would be reduced into the smallest elemental state. Since the heavenly angel could not determine which was the real Saleen, he decided that he might as well treat the entire area as his target. Once the Sword of Burst had been struck, nothing within an area of hundreds of yards would survive.

A figure flew up from behind the palace. This figure was holding on to a blood-red war banner that more than four yards long.

“Gusion, come back. Physical attacks are ineffective against him.” Lex finally spoke. If Gusion attacked, the only outcome was that the heavenly angel would be able to render him useless and handicapped with one slap. Unless Gusion was a golden grand swordmaster, he would have no chance of damaging the angel at all.

After hearing what Lex said, Gusion would not court death no matter how loyal he was. He abruptly rolled up the banner and landed in another direction. In the meantime, the heavenly angel continued to focus on chanting his prayer. He could care less about an insignificant lifeform like Gusion. To him, Gusion was not even as dangerous as a grade-7 sorcerer.

Just outside of the palace, the dragon-slaughtering corp had been ordered to back down. If the Sword of Burst struck, the warriors nearby would all die. Fortunately, Lex and Saleen were still in the darkness dimension. If they chose to leave, the angel would be able to kill everyone one by one, based on his speed.

Lex pulled Saleen to her as both of them waited for the attack to land. The power of the God’s Ring has increased. Saleen was more worried about the safety of Eleanor and Cuisi than his own. If the heavenly angel chose to give up on attacking him and go on a killing spree in the city instead, the defense of Daliang City would collapse. By the time the Cloudflows launched their attack, everything would be over.

Everything would depend on how many times Sword of Burst could attack. God’s Ring would be able to repel it at least three times. The grade-7 spells of Saleen and Lex would have no effects on the heavenly angel. Lex decided to prepare for a powerful spell and leave the defense to the God’s Ring.

As a king, Saleen had to fulfil his duty. He would not retreat, or escape even though he could. What would happen to Daliang City? Would Lex escape with him too? They must find a way to kill the angel.

At that thought, Saleen took out his clan badge from the devil ring.

Lex was still chanting. She could cast grade-8 spells twice without causing any harm to her body. Her chant was long and she could not afford to stop halfway, so even though she noticed Saleen taking out his badge, she could do nothing except panic.

What was Saleen trying to do?

Saleen’s plan was a simple one, but required a bit of risk. The heavenly angel looked like a creature of energy, so it could definitely be absorbed by the clan badge. If he could do that, his badge would be able to shoot out lightning once again.

To be able to survive to this day, Saleen had almost always used his clan badge to help him through the most dangerous moments. This badge was almost indestructible. The power it harnessed was incredible. Even a grade-9 golden grand swordmaster would instantly turn into dust if he was struck by the badge’s lightning.

Saleen had become reliant on this mysterious badge. If he was to lose this badge, he would have lost his most powerful skill. Besides, the badge could also train up his mental strength. Even to that moment, Saleen’s mental strength had never stopped increasing.

Repetitions were required if one was to depend on meditation to increase mental strength. On the other hand, using the badge to train up mental strength would not be as comfortable as using meditation. Based on the effectiveness of both methods, Saleen would rather suffer.

It was not a big deal to suffer and endure. Saleen could sense that his mental strength was almost at the same level as a grade-9 sorcerer.

Lex’s body was trembling slightly. Saleen spoke softly, “Don’t worry. I will not go beyond the safety boundaries of the God’s Ring. If an opportunity arises, I will kill him.”

Outside of the palace, Gusion listened to what he was told and did not fight the heavenly angel. He placed his banner upright and a bunch of debris, including Cuisi and Eleanor, flew towards him.

There was blood all over Eleanor’s body, but she was still conscious. On the other hand, Cuisi had already fainted. Both his horns had been broken in half and his arms were now soft and fleshy as all the bones had been crushed.

His demon horns were extremely hard and could harness magic. In order to save Eleanor, Cuisi had sacrificed his horns and he was now back to the level of a demon. Although Eleanor was conscious, her injuries were more severe than Cuisi. Her blood was circulating two times slower than normal and her bones were burning like fire. Almost all her tendons had been cut. Such injuries were already considered severe for a demon, much less an elf.

Gusion fled with the two of them, without bothering to pick up the pieces of stones in the courtyard. The stone statue army had been deserted just like that.

The Sword of Light was now longer than one-hundred yards in the angel’s hands. Just when he was about to swing the sword, a golden figure flew and crashed into him from the side.

Su’s armor and his sword were entirely golden in color. The sword aura had been boosted by the armor to be of the same level as that of a golden grand swordmaster.

The attacking abilities of the sword aura of golden grand swordmasters were more targeted than spells and more complicated. This attack came so fast that a huge hole appeared in the heavenly angel’s chest before he could react.

Su’s attack had injured the heavenly angel, but also destroyed the Vacuum Imprisonment spell at the same time. The heaven angel completed his prayer in an instant.

“God says, the world is becoming ruined!” The one-hundred yard long Sword of Light swung down. It was as if the tip of a shiny mountain was crashing onto the palace.

At this critical moment, the God’s Ring unleashed a colorful light protection, which was similar to a water shield, enclosing her and Saleen within.

There was a strange resonating sound in the surrounding palace before being grounded into dust under the Sword of Light. Su had fled immediately after one hit, but even though his speed was already incredibly fast, he did not manage to leave the area of attack.

Suddenly, Su felt his back becoming cold, as if thousands of arrows had pierced through him. The armor that Joey had refined for him was still destroyed despite the protection from the golden sword aura. Beams of light that were as thin as needles pierced through his body and blood splattered everywhere.
