Chapter 1330: Sword of Light, Slash
The final boss of the level?!
A Great Perfection stage monster that had transformed into a human form.
This was the Beast Tamer the Black Robe High Priest had mentioned earlier!
The countless rank nine demonic beasts from before had all been summoned by him. Appearing alongside him were two werewolf demonic beasts clad in diamond armor. They were far more ferocious than the previous werewolves, fully armed and radiating explosive power.
The old man in human form first glanced at Luo Tian, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said calmly, “I didn’t expect you to actually kill that old ghost, the Nether Blood Spring. The Forest of Death has stood for tens of thousands of years, and his cultivation had nearly reached the human-transformation stage of the great perfection realm. Yet, he died at your hands. It seems you knew his weakness, or else you couldn’t possibly have killed him.”
After saying that, he then glanced at the Saintess nearby. His eyes showed a hint of surprise as he smiled faintly, “Now I know how you killed the Nether Blood Spring. The power of the Phoenix Bloodshed Bracelet; a person from Phoenix Sky Mountain. I didn’t think I would see someone from Phoenix Sky Mountain again here after tens of thousands of years.”
His tone was very calm.
But behind that calmness lay a primal, brutal power that made one tremble involuntarily.
Liu Zhan said seriously, “Boss, he’s incredibly strong!”
Kailin shouted, “Defend!”
“Haah~!”
The paladins moved quickly to form a defensive formation.
They included Luo Tian and his two companions within their protective circle.
Luo Tian looked at the Black Robe High Priest and said, “If you don’t act now, we’re all going to die here. You must kill him if you want to enter the next floor. Otherwise, you can forget about finding the Ancient King or obtaining the Seven-Colored Divine Stone.”
A great perfection level demonic beast possessed strength comparable to the Honorable Emperor realm.
Even if Luo Tian and the others all fought together, they would not be his match.
The Black Robe High Priest sneered, “Aren’t you all still alive? He hasn’t made a move yet, so what’s your hurry?”
Luo Tian’s brow furrowed as anger surged in his heart.
The Black Robe High Priest stood motionless, staring at the humanoid demonic beast. He gave a slight smile and said, “A Beast Tamer of the Guardian Race, capable of summoning every demonic beast in the Pangu Mountains to battle. Your power is indeed impressive… But in the presence of me, Hei Yue, you had better scram away.”
“Presumptuous!” The humanoid demonic beast let out a fierce shout.
A scepter appeared in his hand, and with a sudden wave, he pointed it at Hei Yue, commanding, “Tear him apart!”
Two werewolves lunged from the ground, pouncing at him in an instant.
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
Two sonic booms echoed through the air.
In that instant, Luo Tian roared, “Lightning Beast, go!”
“Crackle zap…”
A beast composed of lightning exploded against the two werewolves. But just like before, it only dealt “-1” damage. But as long as it wasn’t a “Miss,” it was enough.
Hei Yue narrowed his eyes.
His figure in black moved like a ghost, whipping up a violent hurricane. With a flick of his palm, a power like brilliant starlight condensed within it.
“Sword of Light, slash!”
“Swish~!”
“Swish~!”
With two casual strikes, the two werewolves fell to the ground with their bodies sliced in half.
Luo Tian was utterly shocked, “A lightsaber from the sci-fi world? Damn… just how powerful is it?”
In reality, this was not a certain science-fiction lightsaber.
It was a blade formed from the condensation of pure light, also known as the Sword of Light, possessing unrivaled and immense power.
Kailin’s brow furrowed as she gripped her sword tightly. Her eyes remained fixed on the Sword of Light in Hei Yue’s hand, a flicker of envy flashing through her gaze. It vanished in an instant, but Luo Tian noticed it nonetheless.
Who in the entire Church didn’t want to possess this Sword of Light?
She was no exception, and neither were the paladins beside her.
Except their longing wasn’t as intense as hers.
Kailin whispered, “The Sword of Light… It contains the power of light within its blade and can cut through any demonic beast in existence. It is especially effective against those with dark attributes, like werewolves. It can cut through them like one cuts up vegetables.”
The Saintess who had just woken up said weakly, “Not only that, but his cultivation is also terrifying. Otherwise, it would be impossible to exert the power of the Sword of Light to such an extreme degree.”
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
Two werewolves fell.
A system alert sounded off in Luo Tian’s mind.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for killing a Werewolf. You have gained 10,000,000 experience points, 100,000 yuan energy…”
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for…”
At this moment, Luo Tian felt no excitement at all regarding the system alerts. His eyes, like Kailin’s, were fixated on the Sword of Light in Hei Yue’s hand. The longing in his gaze was even more intense. He looked as if he wanted to kill the man and loot the weapon immediately!
The Beast Tamer’s eyes flickered slightly before saying, “The Sword of Light from the Church… I didn’t expect you to actually bring it here.”
Hei Yue took a step forward and said with a smile, “What about it? Are you afraid?”
The Beast Tamer burst into laughter before replying, “Afraid? We of the Guardian Race have never known the meaning of fear. If we were afraid, we wouldn’t have guarded this place for generations! If you want to find the Ancient King, you’ll have to get past me!”
After saying that, he suddenly shook the scepter in his hand.
He then slammed it down hard.
The sound of metal striking a hard surface echoed throughout the cave.
Immediately after, he let out a shout, “Binding of Ten Thousand Vines, bind!”
The runes throughout the cave began to wriggle, forming thorny vines that surged up directly from beneath their feet. They transformed into massive vines several meters high, constantly trying to constrict their targets.
“Aggghhh~!”
“Aggghhh~!”
Two paladins had their bodies impaled by these runic thorny vines. Before they could even react, they were carried into mid-air by the giant stalks.
Luo Tian instantly shouted, “Fatty, take care of the Saintess!”
Liu Zhan fired several Frost Arrows in succession, standing guard fiercely by the Saintess’s side as he yelled back, “I’m on it!”
The Saintess was currently extremely weak, so any one of those giant vines could take her life.
Luo Tian shouted again, “Black Robe High Priest, why aren’t you making a move yet?!”
Kailin also called out, “Lord High Priest…”
The thorny vines could not even get near Hei Yue’s body because they were repelled by the power radiating from him. He cast a cold glance at Kailin and the others before sneering, “From the first day you entered the Tribunal, you knew your lives belonged to the Church, to be sacrificed for it at any time. Now, your time is up. You can go die now!”
“I don’t want to waste energy on any of you.”
“Kailin, I will make sure the Holy See remembers your contributions.”
After saying that, Hei Yue smiled at Luo Tian and said, “I only need to keep you alive. As for these useless trash, it’s no great loss if they die.”
Cold-blooded.
Completely and utterly cold-blooded!
Kailin’s heart sank. She didn’t want to believe it before, but now she had to face reality.
“You were right,” she whispered to Luo Tian. “He really won’t save us!”
