Chapter 296: The Great Battle Begins
The Holy See’s Judgement Army can be immune to most magic attacks.
This is also their necessary guarantee of being invincible.
However, when the person performing magic is a man that the entire Maya Empire looks up to, that so-called magic immunity is something to be reconsidered.
The silver-white iron cavalry slowly stopped in front of the lightning curtain.
The lightning curtain was magnificent and spectacular, like an impassable chasm. Anyone who dared to cross it would suffer the most severe divine punishment.
In mid-air, Mifs frowned.
He was not surprised by the Judgement Army’s failure.
He never expected to capture Luo Xiu easily with just this army.
The reason for his frown was the complete lack of defense in the manor.
Or rather, it was as if they had deliberately opened their doors, waiting for them to arrive.
The manor was empty. Apart from the two witches and Luo Xiu, there wasn’t a soul to be seen.
This was very strange.
Mifs didn’t believe Luo Xiu was an idiot, knowing that the Holy See was preparing to act against him, yet not making any preparations and foolishly waiting in the manor to die.
Looking at the man enveloped in lightning, radiating terrifying magic fluctuations, Mifs was uncertain.
He was not a rash person.
Moreover, Your Eminence the Pope was watching this place. He had been given so much time to prepare, and if he couldn’t capture Luo Xiu in one swift strike, he would likely lose points.
As he was lost in thought, Seco beside him could no longer hold back. Magic surged around him as he unleashed a wave of fire.
The flame turned into a fire line in mid-air, like a brushstroke, and shot directly at Luo Xiu.
The night was pitch black, making this fire line exceptionally bright.
At the same time, the other four red-robed archbishops also launched their attacks.
Light after light pierced the night sky.
All the elements of heaven and earth were mobilized.
These highly dangerous, powerful spells were all directed at the solitary figure in mid-air.
From all directions, there was no escape.
Luo Xiu’s expression was stern, and there was no fear on his face.
His hair danced in the air, and his fingertips crackled with surging lightning.
With a flick of his finger, the thick lightning split into five, each meeting one of the incoming attacks.
This was Luo Xiu’s first full-power attack since arriving in this world.
Fighting five against one, he was not at a disadvantage at all.
His white robe fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound. He looked like a god.
Even the five bolts of lightning seemed to have the tendency to counter-attack, roaring and trying to surge upwards, devouring the mages who cast them.
*Boom!*
It roared like a falling star!
While the magical attacks from the sky were blocked, the large lightning curtain woven below naturally weakened significantly.
The silver-white torrent of iron cavalry charged once more.
They raised their spears high and shouted.
“For the Holy See!”
“Judge the heretics!”
Their shouts merged into one, shaking the heavens and earth.
Along with their shouts came the deafening sound of hooves.
Their target was not Luo Xiu, who was floating in mid-air.
It was the two witches holding hands on the ground.
Eileen was still standing on the spot, stunned.
She had been in this state since getting that answer from the man.
She had thought that even if she knew the truth, no matter how painful or cruel it was, she could face it calmly, at least not be too sad.
After all, hadn’t she always said that Luo Xiu had ulterior motives?
What she was worried about at first was just that Selena might collapse mentally because of it.
But now that it had finally come to this, Eileen suddenly realized.
It turned out that this man’s importance in her heart had already become immeasurable without her noticing.
Selena could at least maintain a semblance of calmness and even comfort her.
But she herself had no strength to muster.
It turned out that the one who would truly collapse was not Selena.
It was her, the Eileen who always maintained a cold pride in front of men.
The girl’s belief in life began to slowly crumble and collapse.
It was as if a tall wall that had taken two years to build with great difficulty.
Now, the person who built the wall had personally pushed it down, causing it to collapse with a thunderous roar.
The despairing sound of hooves and war cries intertwined.
The sound grew closer and closer, and it was almost here.
Suddenly, a vast, pitch-black flame emerged, forming a circle around the two of them, protecting them within.
This flame was extremely mysterious, but it was not very noticeable in the dark night. It merely drifted lightly, as if it could be blown away by the wind at any moment.
The silver-white torrent did not stop. They had extreme confidence in their armor.
Unless they encountered an imperial-level peak mage like Luo Xiu.
But this time, the magic immunity that had always made them invincible and invincible seemed to have lost its effect in front of this pitch-black flame.
Warhorses fell to the ground, accompanied by shrill screams.
First came the horses’ cries, followed by the painful screams of countless people.
The black flames clung to their bodies like leeches. No matter how they rolled on the ground, it was in vain.
“No!”
“How is this possible!”
At this moment, such questions echoed endlessly within the Judgement Army.
They were horrified, and a clamor spread everywhere.
The following cavalry did not dare to advance further, only being forced to squeeze in the front. The neighing of the horses reverberated across the battlefield.
It was said to be a battlefield, but it should have been a one-sided massacre.
It was only because the people in the manor had apparently been evacuated by Luo Xiu earlier that this situation of an entire army besieging two girls occurred.
“Disperse!”
The leader of the Judgement Army quickly came up with a solution.
They dispersed, their hooves trampling the ground, kicking up a patch of yellow sand.
The cavalry surrounded the two witches, forming a circle.
The scene changed accordingly.
It became a formation with the two witches at the center, the circle of mysterious and terrifying black flames radiating outwards, and beyond that, the circle formed by the hooves of the Judgement Army.
People turned their gazes towards the two witches in the innermost layer.
One of the black-dressed girls had a dazed expression and vacant eyes, staring blankly at the sky.
In her eyes, the man’s slightly thin back was reflected.
Beside her was another beautiful girl in a long dress.
She looked around vigilantly, with a hint of sadness in her brows, but she still managed to maintain her sorcery.
These black flames were continuously surging from her, buying them precious time to breathe.
But such safety was clearly temporary.
Because anyone could easily see that the fine beads of sweat on the girl’s forehead indicated that she could not hold on for much longer.
When that time came, once the black flames dissipated, the silver-white torrent would directly overwhelm them.
The cavalry’s spears would then pierce their chests fiercely, sending the witches back to hell.
That was where they belonged.
In mid-air, Luo Xiu, who had been watching the scene below, originally intended to defend when he saw the cavalry breaking through the lightning curtain.
However, upon seeing the black flame Selena unleashed, he stopped his actions.
His gaze slowly shifted to the white-robed figure floating in mid-air opposite him.
That was the greatest threat now.
Priest Mifs.
