Chapter 302: Harming a Beauty

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After heavily surrounding the Corpse Wizard King, the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, gold cloaked warrior Casia and Elder Klive remained motionless, searching for an opportunity to attack.

The white robe of the Cardinal Bishop moved without the wind, pattering in the air. A silver glow burst out from his hands, assuming the form of a crescent blade, harboring a massive amount of energy. Snake-shaped lightning emerged from the blade from time to time. This was the technique Break Through Time and Space cast at full power. Anyone looking at the attack would feel their scalp crawl.

The gold cloaked warrior Casia had an ice-cold expression, the sharp Galaxy Blade in his hands gleaming. His entire figure looked like a sword, ready to strike. A mosquito accidentally crossed his path and was split into two by the sword aura he was emitting.

Unlike the White-robed Cardinal Bishop and Casia, Elder Klive was silent, his entire body enveloped by a ball of black gas. There were no ripples of energy around him, even his breathing was not audible. It seemed as though he posed no threat; But sensing him closely, he seemed to give off an unprecedented sense of danger.

The other parties were careful when it came to their attacks, while the Corpse Wizard King did not dare act recklessly either, remaining motionless. His Corpse Poison turned into a black gas and burst forth into the surroundings, revolving around his body continuously. The two parties did not dare act recklessly, locking themselves in a stalemate. However, with the large army of the factions approaching them, the situation was getting worse for the Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez.

Sometime later, sensing that the army was getting closer and closer to them, Elder Klive suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Corpse Wizard King, announcing in a cold voice, “Hand over the Divine Weapons, or today will be the day you die!”

“You are very powerful, but if you do not hand over the Divine Weapons, there’s no way you are escaping this time!” The expression of the gold cloaked warrior Casia was ice cold, staring straight at the Corpse Wizard King who was enveloped by his Corpse Poison.

The main reason for the White-robed Cardinal Bishop coming this time was to save the female Spellcaster Angel, while Elder Klive and Casia had come for the Divine Weapons that the Corpse Wizard King had snatched. Eliminating this Corpse Wizard King came second. They had all suffered from heavy casualties during this mission. It would be a huge loss for them if they could not obtain anything at all.

Divine Weapons?

Could this little beauty be carrying some Divine Weapon on her?

Looking at the motionless Elder Klive, then seeing Casia’s fierce attack, the Corpse Wizard King had a thought. Most of the Divine Power a Divine Spell User possessed was innate, but there were also some people who forcefully obtained Divine Power through the use of Divine Weapons of Light. However, after searching around, the Corpse Wizard King did not find any special equipment on the female Spellcaster Angel aside from the crystal necklace around her neck.

Not good, I cannot let them engage in this stalemate any further!

Seeing the Corpse Wizard King flip around Angel’s clothes in confusion, Yang Ling who was hiding nearby cursed to himself. He summoned the Thousand-faced Mink and ordered it to cast the Group Mirror Magic using the main body of the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, Casia and Elder Klive as a reference. It transformed into five illusory bodies, prepared to attack the Corpse Wizard King manically.

Originally, he had wanted to wait till the two parties were injured before taking action. It looks like he had no choice but to take action preemptively. If the major factions knew that the Corpse Wizard King did not take the Divine Weapons from the underground city, then it was highly possible that the group would suspect him.

One, two, three...

Looking at the illusory bodies that suddenly appeared, even the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, Casia and Elder Klive were shocked, much less the Corpse Wizard King. They then had an epiphany as they remember the strange little Magical Beast by Yang Ling’s side, realizing that Yang Ling had long been hiding around the area.

“Fatal Blow!”

While the Corpse Wizard King was shocked, Casia finally attacked, his entire figure springing forward, straight toward the Corpse Wizard King. With his magnificent Battle Energy pulsing, the exterior of his body released an incandescent glow, blocking out the Corpse Wizard King’s Corpse Poison, his sharp galaxy sword aimed straight at his heart.

As Casia moved, the five illusory bodies that were mimicking him followed his actions, unleashing the same technique. Even though their individual battle capabilities were far weaker than Casia himself, the five illusory bodies attacking together still unleashed a fearsome attack!

“Hehehe, it’s great that you came!”

Seeing Casia charge fiercely toward him, the Corpse Wizard King had a stroke of genius, using the female Spellcaster in his arms as a shield. He then summoned a group of Dead Soul Knights, instructing them to attack. To the Church, a rare Divine Spell User was too important. He had decided to take a gamble against the embattlement of the various major factions.

Indeed, seeing that the sharp sword of Casia was aimed straight at Angel in the Corpse Wizard King’s arms, the White-robed Cardinal Bishop at the side struck down a Dead Soul Knight and shouted, “Sir Casia, the Spellcaster in the creature’s hands is a Holy Maiden of the Church, please hold back!”

Holy Maiden?

Seeing the motionless female Spellcaster Angel in the hands of the Corpse Wizard King, then looking at the nervous White-robed Cardinal Bishop, Casia and Elder Klive had an epiphany, finally understanding why the wily old fox that was the White-robed Cardinal Bishop would suddenly erupt, no longer trying to preserve his strength.

The Corpse Wizard King was extremely powerful at its peak, but after being severely injured by Yang Ling at the underground city, its abilities were now not much stronger than a sage level fighter. If the major factions had not schemed against each other back then and have all shown their trump cards, the Corpse Wizard King might have been already dismembered back then.

All of them had not been willing to go all out, preserving their strength to fight for the greatest benefit. In the end, they gave the Corpse Wizard King the chance to recover, missing the opportunity to surround and kill him time and time again.

“Hmph, Wind Step!”

Looking at the motionless Angel who was conscious and immensely fearful, Casia sighed in frustration. He teleported away using his Wind Step after letting out a cold grunt, prepared to attack the wing of the Corpse Wizard King. Unexpectedly, the Corpse Wizard King moved Angel as if she was a meat shield, once again blocking his fierce attack.

Just like that, the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, Casia and Elder Klive could only restrain themselves, afraid that they might accidentally kill the motionless Holy Maiden Angel; On the contrary, the Corpse Wizard King could do whatever he wanted with Angel acting as his meat shield. Faced with the attacks of the group, he would either instruct the army of dead souls to block them, or directly send Angel to the front, forcing the group to step back.

“Hehehe, Holy Maiden?” After narrowly avoiding the combined attacks of the group time and time again, looking at the motionless Angel in his hands, the Corpse Wizard King let out a manic laugh, “Being able to consume the blood and soul of a Holy Maiden, it would be worth it even if I was sealed for ten thousand years, much less eight thousand. Hehehe!”

The Corpse Wizard King became even more excited after knowing of the identity of the female Spellcaster Angel. Several thousand years ago, other than the Holy Dragon Ayrpaciro, it had also suffered in the hands of the Church. Being able to consume the blood and soul of the lofty Holy Maiden, being able to torture the so-called purest, most noble Holy Maiden of the Church, that was even more satisfying than personally leading an undead army and destroying the Holy City.

“Hehe, let’s see how much more arrogant you can get!”

Looking at the Corpse Wizard King in its manic laughter, Yang Ling instructed the Thousand-faced Mink to get the illusory bodies to directly attack the female Spellcaster Angel. In order to join forces and kill the Corpse Wizard King, Casia and Elder Klive had no choice but to respect the wishes of the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, but Yang Ling could not care less.

Amidst the chaos on the battlefield, accidentally killing someone is a common occurrence. Even if they were going to be furious, the Church would not have anywhere to air their grievances. They could only take it lying down.

The only regret Yang Ling had was that he might not be able to experiment on a lab rat like Angel and absorb the milky-white Divine Power in her body anymore. However, compared to the potential of exposing that the Divine Weapons were in his hands, this was but a small price to pay.

After the illusory bodies injured the female Spellcaster Angel in his hands, it was the Corpse Wizard King’s turn to feel restrained, seeing that they were disregarding the Spellcaster. His efforts would be wasted if this little beauty were to die. He would rather take the attacks than allow the illusory bodies to severely injure Angel.

This way, the motionless Angel instead became his burden. In his fluster, not only were the Dead Soul Knights he summoned exterminated, even he himself suffered from a continuous barrage of heavy damage.

A large piece of flesh was sliced off by the Break Through Time and Space technique of the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, his left shoulder pierced through by Casia’s Galaxy Sword, his left leg hit by Elder Klive’s corrosion spell, being reduced to bone down the knee...

Of course, Casia and the rest were also in bad shape under the retaliation of the Corpse Wizard King!

Not only were three of the White-robed Cardinal Bishop’s ribs broken, his right leg was also a bloody mess after being hit by the Corpse Wizard King’s sharp talons, inflicting him with the terrifying Corpse Poison; Casia got hit by a soul attack, his head giddy. His body trembled as he struggled to get his bearings; Elder Klive got severely injured by a Cerberus that suddenly appeared, opening his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, his face pale!

After severely injuring a few people and breaking out of the embattlement, the Corpse Wizard King did not dare continue the battle, carrying Angel as he escaped!

The reinforcements of the major factions were approaching, and more importantly, Yang Ling, who posed the most threat, still had not taken action. His abilities had decreased drastically after being injured by the White-robed Cardinal Bishop and the rest. If he did not leave quickly, he might really have to die here!

“Hmph, let’s see where you can run off to!”

After summoning the Dark Dragon King, Yang Ling raised his Blood Elf Dagger and engaged in hot pursuit, following closely behind the Corpse Wizard King. He instructed the Dark Dragon King to release a ball of fire or a Dragon Breath from time to time, forcing the Corpse Wizard King to clench his teeth and charge forward, not giving him the time to stop his bleeding.

Should I kill him to seal his mouth, or... Try to tame this humanoid monster with my blood?

Looking at the Corpse Wizard King darting from side to side as he ran forward on the ground, Yang Ling had a thought. The Magical Beast Territory had no lack of brave warriors or premium weapons, but the amount of true experts they had were far and few between. If the abilities of the Corpse Wizard King was already so feared by the major factions even though he has not fully recovered, just how powerful would he be if he fully regained his abilities?
