chapter 324 part 2
At this point, Captain Nigun gave a cold laugh instead.
"If Captain Remedios were seriously injured, then you should question whether she is being disrespectful to 'God' and is not a devout believer."
Captain Nigun clearly raised his tone. This made the expressions of everyone in the Holy Knight Order and Cleric Corps change.
Kelart's face grew even uglier, the hostility in her eyes intensifying.
Watching the atmosphere between the two sides grow stiff, Tang Zheng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on and prepared to step forward.
But just then—
"Tang!"
"Quick, have the angel destroy the shield the Death Knight left behind!"
Gagaran's shout came from the center of the battlefield.
He had been one of the eyewitnesses to the Death Knight's birth, so he naturally knew that this black tower shield was the key to its creation.
"You've finally shown yourself."
Tang Zheng immediately sensed something and looked toward the location of the black tower shield.
Beside the crack-covered black tower shield, a figure completely enveloped in black mist appeared out of thin air.
"「Lightning Strike」!" The Alliance Leader's hoarse chant was the first to sound.
A burst of blue lightning twisted into a bolt of thunder and struck the Monitoring Authority Angel.
With a "bang," the angel instantly dissolved into white light sparks.
"This demon-god-level power... you must have used an out-of-spec item."
The Alliance Leader didn't even glance at the Monitoring Authority Angel. Instead, he raised his head slightly to look at the sacred and powerful Dominion Authority hovering high in the sky.
"The Theocracy is as ostentatiously wealthy as ever."
In this world, there existed three types of out-of-spec magical items that even top-tier nobles and the royal families of various nations knew very little about.
The first were the relics of the Eight Greed Kings. The second were the Dragon Treasures forged with special magic by true high-tier Dragon Lords. The third were the Sacred Treasures left behind by the Six Great Gods. The present-day Slane Theocracy was built and inherited from the Six Great Gods after their descent 600 years ago.
"The Alliance Leader of 【Zuranon】!" Captain Nigun snapped back to his senses at this moment.
Facing such a dangerous individual, he wasted no words. He raised the Magic Sealing Crystal to control the Dominion Authority, preparing to attack.
But the Alliance Leader was faster. "「Crumbling Bone Prison」!"
A blue magic circle appeared at Captain Nigun's feet, followed by a large number of bone spikes erupting from it.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! In an instant, the hard bone spikes locked Captain Nigun in place, piercing both his arms and legs simultaneously.
The enchanted metal clothing, woven from special thread and boasting higher defense than ordinary armor, offered no resistance whatsoever.
"Ah!" Captain Nigun screamed. The pain from his pierced arms caused his grip on the Magic Sealing Crystal to loosen.
Clack. The Magic Sealing Crystal fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The priests of the 【Sunlight Scripture】 held their breath.
"「Teleport」!" The air trembled slightly.
The Alliance Leader appeared in front of Captain Nigun. A stiff smile appeared on his face from behind the black mist. "I'll take this as compensation for destroying the Death Knight."
The Alliance Leader spoke nonchalantly as a withered arm reached out from the black mist, grabbing for the Magic Sealing Crystal on the ground.
Seeing the Alliance Leader's action, Captain Nigun's eyes widened in terror, fit to burst. He ignored the pain of the bone spikes piercing his body and struggled frantically, roaring:
"Clementine! Clementine!"
He had kept Clementine by his side precisely for an emergency like this.
"「Gale Stride」!" Clementine's sharp cry was heard.
Swoosh! Her fluffy golden hair fanned out in an instant as she seemingly sidestepped through the air, appearing before the Alliance Leader. The daggers in her hands pierced the air, stabbing precisely at the Alliance Leader's heart.
Bang! A translucent barrier blocked the daggers.
This seemingly powerful strike was stopped, unable to advance even half an inch.
"「Dragon Lightning」," the Alliance Leader said flatly as surging lightning blasted from his palm.
BOOM! A dazzling flash of lightning erupted.
Everyone saw a blur before their eyes as a berserk power exploded, and Clementine was sent flying, her status unknown.
"Put it down! No—"
Captain Nigun could only watch helplessly as the Alliance Leader picked up the Magic Sealing Crystal, coughing up blood as he roared.
That was an item left behind by a god.
Such a treasure was more precious than his life. If it fell into enemy hands, he would become a sinner of the Theocracy!
"What a peculiar item."
The Alliance Leader paid no mind to Captain Nigun's shouting, toying with the crystal-clear Magic Sealing Crystal in his hand, seemingly full of interest.
At this moment, everyone who realized what was happening couldn't help but swallow hard.
Even Tang Zheng's expression had turned a little ugly.
He had never expected Captain Nigun to be so useless, allowing the Magic Sealing Crystal to be snatched away so easily.
"Attack, Dominion Authority."
The Alliance Leader raised the Magic Sealing Crystal in his hand and said with composure.
Everyone had just witnessed how strong the Dominion Authority's power was. When this mighty force became the enemy's, looks of despair appeared in many people's eyes.
The Dominion Authority gently flapped its wings, but did not move.
"So, it can only be controlled by the original caster."
Seeing that the Dominion Authority completely ignored his command, the Alliance Leader shook his head thoughtfully.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter if I can control it or not. It will disappear when the time is up anyway."
Putting the Magic Sealing Crystal away, the Alliance Leader gazed at the fearful eyes before him, raised his arms, and made a cold declaration: "This place shall become your grave."
"「Teleport」!" Shhh. The Alliance Leader teleported himself high into the sky. "「Pale Fire」!"
Rumble. A black cloud composed entirely of negative energy gathered above everyone's heads at a visible speed. Because this area already contained a large amount of negative energy and death aura,
the range of 「Pale Fire」 became even larger.
Drip—drip-drip—
Cold, white flaming raindrops fell from the sky, one by one, like rain.
A demi-human didn't have time to dodge and was struck on the head by a drop of fire rain. His entire body then burst into flames, and he turned to ash with a scream!
In a matter of breaths, the entire battlefield was covered in screams and wails, transformed into a purgatory.
"Monitoring Authority Angel!"
Tang Zheng quickly summoned a fourth-tier angel to block the damage for him from above, his expression grave as he looked at the surrounding scene.
Things have gotten troublesome!
According to the original plan, the Seventh-Tier Dominion Authority should have been able to fight the Alliance Leader.
Although the Alliance Leader could use 7th-tier magic, Tang Zheng had already tested him during their previous battle.
Through observation, he knew that the Alliance Leader's mastery of seventh-tier magic was extremely limited. Even when casting the seventh-tier spell 「Undead Legion」, he had to rely on a magic enhancement like 'Magic Boost' to do it.
It wasn't strange for him to lack high-tier magical abilities.
This world wasn't a game; there was no easy way to acquire magic. To get it, you either had to learn it from someone else or develop it yourself.
Therefore, the Seventh-Tier Dominion Authority was indeed enough to fight the Alliance Leader.
It was just that Tang Zheng hadn't expected the Magic Sealing Crystal to be snatched by the Alliance Leader before the fight even began!
"Idiot!"
Tang Zheng cursed inwardly.
Looks like I have to go with Plan B. I'll have the Shadow Clone reappear to fight the Alliance Leader.
