Before today, almost no one knew that Shane could use magic. Everyone just thought he was a good swordsman.
But from today onward, no one would see him as a swordsman anymore.
Regardless of being alive or dead, the magic-casting ability he had shown was enough to frighten others.
Because the magic he had just cast was the highest magic of the priest --- "God Descendant Magic".
The "God Descendant Magic" was meant like its name, was the magic to make a God descend to the mortal world. It could pass a certain degree of the limit the Life Goddess had set beforehand, to make the God send down an avatar with a mighty power. This avatar completely had the fighting force of a true God, which was enough to wipe out a legendary powerhouse, even a Semi-God. Once it appeared, its murderous momentum was big enough to change a country or even an entire world.
But the God Descendant Magic also had a very big drawback. It required the caster to provide an abundance of dark power constantly, as well as understand the power of this magic detailedly and accurately. A little mistake couldn’t make the God Power lose but make the God Power explode.
Shane was obviously an advanced caster. He was very accurate in using the dark power as he had steadily launched the God Descendant Magic.
Along with the big wind and frost, which suddenly flooded over, a big blob of mucus floated in the sky, and appeared beside Holly, who was trying to summon the delusion of the Harvest Goddess’ Kingdom to cover her.
Holly’s body emitted an eye-glaring green ray as she struggled to escape out of the mucus block. However, a green light also emerged from the mucus block, which absorbed her green ray entirely, making her struggle become useless.
As the city lord Joseph saw Holly was about to be swallowed by a big blob of mucus, he finally took action.
A long green stick appeared in his hand, aimed directly at Shane’s back.
He didn’t show the slightest trace of mercy. As long as this stick hit Shane, he would die without a doubt!
But when the long stick touched the back of Shane’s clothes, it couldn’t poke through. This was certainly not because it didn’t have a pointy tip but it was blocked by an endless dark power.
Joseph raised his brows and flicked his fingers. Several different colored seeds flew out. They then turned into plants with strange shapes in the air, whose vines and roots were wrapping around Shane.
These plants had one thing in common, which was that they could swallow dark power.
Of course, Shane didn’t want to be entangled by them. Even though he had to stand in one place to maintain the magic without moving, it absolutely didn’t mean that he had no way to solve this issue.
After one whistle, at least six or seven people suddenly jumped out, and used their bodies to block those strangely-shaped plants. Although these dangerous plants immediately used their vines or roots to cut or poke their bodies, they weren’t scared as they opened their arms to hug these plants.
In the next blink, a strange green color showed up on their faces. Their bodies started to wither. It was as if they were turning into withered tree branches. This deep green color continued to spread to the plants which were entangling, infecting these mighty plants as well.
After a while, block by block of entangled things whose shapes couldn’t be defined kept falling onto the ground.
Joseph’s brows creased more tightly. He didn’t know when his son got such a big gut, and he could see the exclusive magic of the Swamp God, which was the evil scheme that had turned everything into dried plants.
The Harvest Goddess and the Swamp God didn’t suit each other. Their clergies were complete opposites. The Harvest Goddess had a tendency of getting fertile and rich, while the Swamp God had a tendency of getting stunted and withered. The God Kingdoms of those two, one was a fertile "luxuriant paddyfield", and the other was a poor "swamp of dead trees", which were simply poles apart. Not to mention, both sides belonged to the natural God system. This situation was clearly the one where both enemies didn’t want to live under the same sky.
Joseph was a higher-up in the Harvest Goddess’ church. He was very familiar with the scheme of the Swamp God’s church. As he swung up his arm, a few seeds flew out again. This times, these seeds didn’t head toward Shane, but drew an arc in the air then fell onto his body.
In a blink, the seeds germinated and rooted. They were as if using him as a nutrient to grow very luxuriantly. Some of them turned into armor. Some trees turned into magic tools, while some of them wrapped around his stick, making the original long green stick turn into a branch with an abundance of leaves and vitality.
But behind this abundant vitality was a frigid murderous intent, which made people extremely scared.
When the long stick swung up for the second time, it tore the air. It didn’t issue a sharp whistle but an ear-piercing explosive sound while slamming down on Shane’s head.
The lack of God magic of the Swamp God’s church could be enhanced by the violence on a large scale. Therefore, using the God magic to strengthen them, then using violence to solve the battle was the best method.
But, Joseph couldn’t save Holly in time. He was helpless to see her being swallowed by the Swamp God. That big block of mucus slightly wriggled. Inside of it continuously emitted tearing, chewing and swallowing sounds. There were also countless threads of blood surging out from it, making the witnesses terrified.
The priest of the Harvest God’s church - Holly was eaten up alive by the avatar of the Swamp God!
But the scheme of the Swamp God didn’t stop there. After swallowing a part of Holly’s body, it shook intensely one time and then floated to the sky while slowly shrinking.
"Very bad!" Lei was scared out of his wits. He didn’t have time to explain, and quickly put the sword back into its sheath, grabbed Frank in one hand, dragged Liv by the other hand, called Stelle to carry little Agnes and lead lady Teague to hurriedly escape, trying their best to run to the harbor and get away from the square.
At this moment, the square was completely ruined. Along the way, there were many people blocking them. He didn’t hesitate to kick them like bottles rolling on the ground.
Now was the time to run for their lives. Who would have time to explain to a flock of blocking dogs?!
As they didn’t run too far, a rustling wind sound came up. Lei stared at it, and then threw Liv and Frank to the harbor, turned around and ran back while taking out his sword, and putting out his defense posture.
The sky looked like it was raining. Mucus was spat out from the avatar of the Swamp God. Their speeds were frightening, indeed like arrows off the bows, flying flappingly, hiding the sky and covering the Earth. That rustling sound was the sound when they broke the air.
The majority of the spectators were commoners. They didn’t have any strength to resist such an attack. In a split second, more than a thousand people were hit by the mucus. The lucky people were hit in the head or the chest and would die right away. The unlucky ones were hit on their legs or arms, and then the wound’s rapidly rotted. In just a quick moment, their whole bodies completely decomposed, turned into a pond of thick fluid, and puddled on the ground.
This process was certainly accompanied by an extreme and terrible pain. Within moments, cries and shouts resounded in succession. The scene was exceedingly tragic.
Lei’s eyes were about to crack as he saw this sight. He tried his best to use his sword to block all the mucus that were like sharp arrows. He was calling out loud to the spectators to quickly run away.
His effort still brought little effect. There were at least a few hundred of people who could escape to the harbor under his protection.
But the people he could save were only this much, nothing more. Many people couldn’t run away in time, and were hit by the attack of the mucus. Followed by the miserable shrieks, they turned into mucus.
The ones who were able to block this wave of attacks were only the powerhouses who had reached a high level or the fully-armed soldiers. The number of these people was not many. In contrast to the believers of the Swamp God who had already received the magic protection before this event happened and wouldn’t be eroded by the mucus, they couldn’t take the upper hand, at least in numbers.
At this moment, Shane had finally been defeated. He couldn’t fight back the city lord Joseph’s refined scheme, which was using magic to support martial art. He was hit by the stick on the chest.
The sound of bone breaking resounded consecutively. He spat out blood then fell on the ground which was full of mucus, and slid a long way on the slippery ground.
Coincidentally, the direction where he slid was toward Lei’s side.
Lei’s eyes lit up. He swung his sword up, cut the ground around him, and used his force to raise Shane up. After that, the air shook as Lei’s sword sliced off all the mucus on Shane’s body which was now full of wounds.
"Stelle, treat him!" He said loudly.
After handing little Agnes to lady Teague, Stelle hurriedly went back to give Lei a hand. She immediately launched magic. A white light fell onto Shane’s body. The wounds on his body instantly started to close. His face which was originally as white as sheets regained some color.
"You shouldn’t . . It is just a waste of energy. . ." Shane forced a smile as he told her not to treat him, "I...have to die..."
"Not suitable! There is a power which is constantly damaging your body!" Stelle surprisingly shouted, "I can’t eliminate it!"
While talking, blood kept flowing out of Shane’s ears and nose. He looked really miserable.
"Stop talking nonsense! You have cheated me to make me work my butt off for you. You still owe me information!" Lei angrily said, "Do you want to use death to pay your debt?!"
Shane laughed miserably two times, his voice had a little bit of energy. "Actually. . you must have been able to guess that answer for a while now. . ."
Lei furrowed his brows, and asked, "Is it the arrangement of the Honorable Court Lady’s church?"
"Who can it. . be?" Shane smiled again, coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. He panted intensely several times, then said, "There is also. . . the Dark Moon. . ."
"What?!" Lei was panic-stricken, "She joined too?"
"They . were originally .. allies."
Lei couldn’t stand, cursed, then hurriedly interrogated, "Do you have anything else you want to say? Quickly tell me! Don’t bring this secret to your tomb!"
"I don’t. . .Everything else . is not related to you. . .Knowing them. . is harmful useless. . ." Shane puffed while blood constantly flowed out of mouth, "I am here a useless. .chessman. . . Don’t be . so . naive .like I was. . . Don’t . keep being . a chessman. . ."
After these words of advice, a green light suddenly lit up in his eyes. A terrifying power rose in his body, making Lei and Stelle who were on the side feel like they were pressed down by a big rock and were unable to move. Even breathing right now was a little bit hard for them. The flow of thoughts inside their heads slowed.
However, Shane pulled together the rest of his strength to strongly jump over to the middle of the square.
The mucus which was spreading all over the square suddenly surged up as if it had received an order. It flowed all the way to him, and turned into a counter-current, which was like countless bows, flooding all over his body.
His body was blocked in the middle of the sky. In a blink of an eye, his face had completely changed. There wasn’t a single trace of human emotion. Even his flesh was withered like a tree trunk. Dirty, stinky water continuously flowed out of his eyes and mouth.
A dazzling flow of light that made people frightened was emitted out of his body. It was the light of God Power.
On the other side, the city lord Joseph was fighting with the avatar of the Swamp God. As he was knocked back several steps, he let out a desperately angry roar, and lit up a raging flame on his body.
It was an intense green light which was like the God Power light.
"Go!" Lei screamed loudly, leading Stelle to run away.
