Chapter 860

860 The Outraged Cardinal

Time Stop! It was too late!

Before his brain came to a pause, the idea occurred to the Predator . But he had been turned into an insect in a piece of amber in this static world . He was now frozen by time in the air .

The whole world looked like an old painting drawn only in the color of gray, black, and white . Then, he saw that the colors were returning; gold, green, black, and red… and his body was able to move again .

Move?

The Predator could not figure this out? How could he see himself moving?

In fact, he thought that he would be lucky to survive the three to four rounds of attack during the timespan of Time Stop because of the many extraordinary items he had .

But why was he now watching his body falling onto the floor heavily? The colorful light burst out, but it failed to prevent his body from hitting the carpet and making the dull, banging sound .

How?

To his great shock, the Predator looked back and realized that he had turned transparent and was grabbed in the hand of the tall sorcerer .

His soul was pulled out?

Ninth-circle spell?

The Predator realized what was going on . Experienced as he was, although he did not understand what kind of spell it was, the Predator once heard about it and knew that it could pull out one’s soul!

None of his extraordinary items could resist such a creepy spell!

That was the end!

He knew that he wasn’t able to fight back anymore .

Douglas showed no mercy and no hesitation . The pale flame in his hand burned the Predator’s soul and made him give out a blood-curdling scream . The Predator felt that there were countless fine needles in his body and kept churning!

Meanwhile, he saw divine light burst out on the Executer and helped him resist a spell . However, the short sorcerer had also gotten rid of Time Stop and then turned the Executer into a stone statue before the Executer could do anything with a single pointing!

Although Fernando was also affected by Time Stop, he had prepared in advance . Therefore, he took action much faster than Executer .

According to their plan, Douglas’ Time Stop was primarily for the Executer, who was level eight . Meanwhile, Douglas would destroy one of his extraordinary items to weaken his magic resistance, while Fernando, after he recovered, would focus on attacking the Executer .

Knights and clerics did not have as abundant methods as sorcerers for keeping themselves alive . Therefore, Fernando was confident that he could kill the Executer within two to three spells!

The most challenging thing in the plan was that Douglas and Fernando had to trust each other without any reservation and had confidence in each other that they could both do their tasks . So far, they worked pretty well with each other, and Fernando started believing that Douglas was quite trustworthy .

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Five silver-black magic missiles flew out of Fernando’s hand and hit the Executer, which was now a stone statue . The stone statue then cracked, and the gaps extended inward . Soon, the statue had collapsed to the ground, stirring and raising lots of dust .

It had only been two to three seconds since the door was pushed open, and two senior-ranks had been killed . One of them had his soul pulled out, and the other had been turned into a pile of rubble .

When sorcerers were prepared, they could be extremely horrific!

At this time, Benson had not even realized what just happened . He could only see the colorful light sparkling in front of him . Lion and the gatekeeper were still frozen to the spot by Douglas .

A dim light beam shot out from the tip of Douglas’ finger and hit Benson . Instantly, all his spell effects had disappeared, and he could not cast any spells now .

“Antimagic Ray!”

Fernando looked around and roared, “Benson!”

He had abandoned the disguise, and his imposing manner was like the fiercest storm over the ocean .

Benson could not believe his eyes, and his heart was filled with fear and confusion . He kept murmuring, “I don’t… I don’t want to…”

Fernando would not even waste half a second at this time . He summoned flashes of lightning and wrapped Benson into a lightning ball .

When the lightning and sparks disappeared, Benson’s body, which had been burned black, hit the ground . Fernando purposefully kept Benson’s face intact so that those who came later could see the great shock and fear on Benson’s face .

At this time, the night watchers guarding the entire building finally noticed the fight through the divine circle .

“Attack!”

“Attack! Tell the Executer!”

“Report it to the Executer! Activate all the divine circles!”

“The Executer is under attack!”

The night watchers, interrogators, and executioners were all in a great panic and had no clue what they should do as they had never encountered this before . Following their experience, most of them chose to hide first, waiting for a chance to fight back . A few who were relatively calm were also anxiously seeking help as they could not get into contact with the Executer, who had full access to the divine circle .

“The Executer was assassinated! Go find the Predator!”

“The Predator is missing!”

“Who comes next after the Executer?!”

The chaos went on . The entire Inquisition failed to respond effectively after losing its leader . After a while, the Executer’s assistant finally recalled that it was he who had the access .

However, by this time, Douglas and Fernando had already left the Inquisition and were now standing in the air, holding the Predator and Benson’s bodies in their hands .

“Throw them to the entrance of the square,” said Fernando coldly, which still sounded like roaring .

The two bodies were thrown down to the ground like two sacks . Fernando moved his fingers in the air, and the Predator’s blood became the scarlet ink for him to write on the ground .

“Betrayers, die!”

“Predators, die!”

Meanwhile, in the cold rain, Douglas raised his hand, and four meteors in fire fiercely dropped from the sky and hit the two-storey building of the Inquisition .

BOOM!

A horrible explosion took place, and a powerful blast swept across the surroundings . The building as well as its underground constructions had mostly collapsed, and most of the night watchers were forever buried down there . Only a few of them survived .

Since the Inquisition was built underground, and it was separated by the divine circle, in the stormy night, when Douglas cast Time Stop and the spells, the red robe in the church did not notice it . Only when the Executer died did he finally feel something bad .

The red robe was shocked when he saw the meteors falling . For a second, he forgot what he should do . But he soon calmed down . He was going to activate the defense circles in the city, and at the same time, he was about to inform the Radiance Church .

The meteors flew across the sky and fell into the city . Hiding in the rain and darkness in the air, Lauren saw the meteors as the signal . A ring on his finger started releasing electric sparks, which had a strange connection to Fernando’s magic circle .

Then the flashes of lightning in the air suddenly joined into one and hit the Inquisition building . Its light lit up the entire city .

Pa!

The thick lightning hit the light shield, which had just been activated . Countless electric snakes were wriggling, which made the functioning of the divine circle slow down by a few seconds .

Lauren didn’t even look at the lightning but instantly flew away, heading for the place they previously agreed on . He was flying in the air as fast as he could, and eventually, he started flying lower and lower . In the end, he disappeared in the forest .

Meanwhile, Douglas and Fernando had disappeared as soon as the meteors were summoned .

The rain was still pouring heavily, erasing almost all their traces .

A minute later, another senior-rank in the city, Paphos, arrived at the Inquisition building . He was a radiant knight . Staring at the pit in the ground left by the destroyed Inquisition building, the look on his face kept changing . He was deeply shocked .

“Betrayers, die… Predators, die…”

Count Paphos murmured the words and talked to himself in low voice, “They’re surely crazy, those sorcerers . The Church is going to be outraged . The Church used me like a dog . I’d like to see how they respond to this!”

He took a deep breath and tried hard to control the impulse to laugh . It wasn’t bad being crazy sometimes .

The red robe then arrived . His face had turned pale with rage, as if Count Paphos owed him a hundred thousand Thale .

“Bloody Sorcerers! I’m gonna burn you all!” the red robe kept cursing .

Many nobles had also arrived . They saw the scene, but no one dared to say anything .

“What are you looking at?! Go and find the bloody sorcerers!” roared the red robe .

The nobles all looked down, for they were hiding their emotions in the darkness and pouring rain .

After two minutes, divine light soared high in the church, which was the waves from the transmission magic circle .

A black-haired young man flew out of the church . He was tall and strong, and he had dark blue eyes in which the light and radiance was like a flowing river . He was not wearing any armor, and there was a longsword in his hand .

The look on the red robe’s face slightly changed . He then flew to the man and said in awe, “Your Excellency Kritonia . ”

“I’ll find them . ” Kritonia looked up at the night sky, and somehow, the falling raindrops suddenly moved much more slowly .

…

When they met each other at the place that they previously agreed on, Lauren said in excitement, “We did it!”

“I didn’t expect the Inquisition was on such a weak alert…” Douglas was quite surprised as well .

Fernando grinned, as he was in a very good mood . “The looks on those idiots’ faces are gonna be so funny! Those stupid black-clawed dogs!”

Then he became more serious and said to Douglas, “We’ll take you to the Union’s headquarters . ”

“I heard that the Union has a damaged floating city?” asked Douglas out of curiosity .
