[Second chapter, two more chapters to go.]
The Chief Inquisitor's golden book flipped to the fifth page, and a circular symbol flew out. The sixth icicle was finally caught by the circle and shattered into pieces.
As for the Adjudicator targeted by the fourth icicle, Salin's lightning icicle directly pierced through his metal shield. Without making any sound, the icicle pierced through the Adjudicator's skull.
The icicle pierced through the top of the Adjudicator's skull and came out from his crotch. Wherever it passed, there was a patch of charred flesh. The most frightening thing was that the Adjudicator's soul had disappeared.
Although the icicle could be destroyed by powerful equipment and skills, once it entered a person's body, the damage was too great. There was no room for recovery.
The Chief Inquisitor watched as his proud subordinate was killed by the icicle. His black robe suddenly expanded, and a black shadow flew out from under it. This shadow was hidden in the light, and no one could see it.
This was originally his hidden trump card. Now, he had no choice but to use it to replace the position of the fourth Adjudicator.
The magic that the Chief Inquisitor was going to use was a level-10 magic — Light of Purification.
This magic would not kill the target. Instead, it would completely purify the target's soul and turn them into believers of the God of Light. If Salin was purified, he would no longer be able to hide his secrets. He would tell the Chief Inquisitor everything.
This was a level-suppressing magic. In other words, anyone below level-10 would be affected. Moreover, this magic could be maintained for a long time. It required the Chief Inquisitor to preside over it. Twelve level-9 Mages had to use it together. Once it was completed, unless there was equipment of the same level that could maintain the defense for the same amount of time.
However, what kind of equipment or skill could last for six hours?
Salin had seen through the Chief Inquisitor's intentions, so he used all his strength to kill one of his subordinates. The Chief Inquisitor summoned the Dark Substitute to replace the fourth Adjudicator. At the same time, the golden book in his hand flipped to the sixth page.
The rune that flew out from the sixth page was also in the shape of a square with openings at the top and bottom. This rune flew high up in the sky like a house. It enveloped the Chief Inquisitor, the eleven Adjudicators, and the Dark Substitute.
The Chief Inquisitor was also shocked. Salin's lightning and icicles had exceeded his expectations. If not for his World Annihilation Codex, half of his subordinates would have been slaughtered by Salin. The round metal shield released by the Fourth Adjudicator was also a famous Holy Weapon in the Church. Even though its quality was not as good as a Divine Weapon, it was still very powerful.
Salin's Icicle of Lightning destroyed the Divine Artifact in an instant. The Ninth Rank Adjudicator's Divine Protective Light and Divine Protection didn't even have the slightest bit of resistance as they were destroyed by the Icicle of Lightning.
He did not care how many icicles Salin had left. After the sixth rune was released, the Chief Inquisitor began to urge his subordinates to prepare the Purification Light. This World-Purifying Brilliance targeted life. If he succeeded, he would be able to obtain Salin's powerful equipment.
The Chief Judge and the guards under him protected everyone with a huge symbol that looked like a house. Within the transparent symbol, divine light flowed, and the shadows of countless angels danced in the air.
This symbol could not be destroyed. The Chief Judge's World Annihilation Codex was said to have come from the first Chief Judge.
When the Church was first established, there were as many experts as there were clouds. The First Chief Judge was a demigod under the God of Light who had been stripped of his divinity. He carried the World Annihilation Codex with him.
If this plane could not be saved, then it would be destroyed.
This was what the First Chief Judge said, and it also represented the will of the God of Light. The Chief Judge's power was not enough to activate the World Annihilation Codex. However, the World Annihilation Codex had a total of seven pages, and the first six pages had been sealed by the First Chief Judge. A level-10 expert could only use relatively low-level power. With the advancement of the divine technique, this seal would be undone, and all of its power would be unleashed.
This was a method that the First Chief Judge had comprehended from the magicians. It was grafted onto the divine technique, and it provided a convenient method to use the World Annihilation Codex. Otherwise, the World Annihilation Codex could only be used by someone at least level-13. In the era when the power of the Myers Continent was gradually declining, the First Chief Judge had no choice but to leave behind this backup plan.
When Salin saw that the Chief Judge had released a method to protect himself, he wasn't shocked. Instead, he was happy. He currently lacked enough energy for his family emblem to absorb. The energy released by this huge divine symbol was enough for his emblem to eat its fill.
However, if he approached this symbol and absorbed its power, he would have to directly face a level-10 expert and twelve level-9 experts. This was something that Salin was unwilling to do.
Fortunately, after the emblem absorbed the power, it could be used immediately.
Salin didn't care about the danger and shouted. His followers, including Shika, gave up the idea of dealing with the golden-armored knights and rushed towards the Chief Judge with Salin.
Only Eleanor didn't move. She drew her longbow, Seven Nights, and three green arrows flew out.
Elven Time Arrow, Elven Spatial Arrow, and Elven Emperor Arrow!
The three arrows represented the full attributes of matter. When Eleanor shot these three arrows with all her strength, the life force stored in Seven Nights was ignited. If Eleanor paid the price, she would lose at least a hundred years of her lifespan. Only the elves could afford it, and they were the royal elves.
If a human shot this arrow, even a level-9 expert would lose half of their lifespan.
Eleanor treasured her life now. With Salin's life force stored in Seven Nights, she didn't need to use her own life force to release her skills. These three arrows attacked from above, heading straight for the Chief Judge.
Within the light, thousands of angels instantly pounced out. The three arrows pierced through the bodies of the angels with irresistible force. However, after killing most of the angels, the power of the three arrows was reduced to a small amount. The hundreds of angels simultaneously turned into white light and pounced on the arrows.
The arrows fell, and the skill attached to them completely disappeared.
Eleanor also knew that her skill would not be effective. Although her archery was good, its attributes were not as tyrannical as the Thunder Dragon Spear. In terms of attributes, Salin's Thunder Dragon Spear suppressed most equipment.
Every skill had a limit, and Salin's Thunder Lightning Skill was the highest power in this realm. Therefore, in a situation where he was inferior to the Chief Judge in every other aspect, other than his calculation ability, he still relied on his skill's attributes and his equipment to force the Chief Judge to this extent.
Salin wasn't surprised that Eleanor's attack had been nullified. If these three arrows were effective, he wouldn't have had to desperately get close.
The Chief Judge saw a cloud of mist approaching and sneered in his heart. Salin's skill really had a limit. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to guarantee how long he would be able to last. The World Annihilation Codex had a total of seven pages. The sixth page had already been activated, and it was already his strongest move. If he wanted to activate the seventh page, he would have to be a god. Otherwise, the World Annihilation Codex would automatically activate.
Trying to rely on the Gold Sword Saint to attack his defense? That was impossible. This was a purely defensive divine skill. There were 128,000 angels inside, and it was enough for him to complete the World Cleansing Radiance.
Below the altar, half of the 200 demons had already been killed. The golden-armored knights had formed a cone-shaped formation. Wherever the golden-armored knight passed, the demons would either die or be injured. The strength of the golden-armored knight was actually at the peak of the Gold Sword Saint level, and it seemed like he still had some strength left.
The demons' pincer attack from both sides wasn't very effective. The armor of the golden-armored knights couldn't be cut open by the giant halberds. Golden light enveloped the entire formation of the golden-armored knights. Every damaged armor and wound was instantly healed by the holy light.
Moreover, the golden-armored knights' formation was extremely fast. Every time they changed their formation, the power of the leading golden-armored knight would instantly skyrocket to the peak of Level-9.
This was a very terrifying skill. If this team was made up of Level-9 knights, the leading golden-armored knight's power would skyrocket to the peak of Level-10. This was not a big deal. The golden-armored knights' equipment and bodies could be instantly healed. Even the demons with strong recovery abilities couldn't resist this.
Hikari stood beside the headless mage. Blood soaked his armor, but he wasn't in a hurry to act.
The Inquisition had actually copied the equipment and skills of the Divine Kingdom's Knights. In the past, the Divine Kingdom's Knights had relied on such military skills to dominate the world. It wasn't until they attacked Sacred Rock City that they were killed by hundreds of Level-9 Magic Shooters using large magic amplifiers.
After that battle, the 100,000 sets of Divine Kingdom's Knight Armors were completely destroyed. Only then did the Cardinal Institute's power decline.
Hikari knew very well that even if he killed the leading knight, the knight's position would be replaced by someone else. Only by killing one-tenth of the people at once could the power of this formation be reduced slightly.
If only there were two more Greater Demons. Hikari watched the two Greater Demons bitterly holding on and felt regretful.
Eleanor had already flown into the air. The altar was occupied by the golden-armored knights, and she was in danger on the ground. Although the golden-armored knights were strong, they couldn't catch up to Eleanor who was riding on Elven Wings.
Eleanor watched Sarlin's battle from afar. She saw Sarlin make a gesture in the clouds. He wanted her to help Hikari attack the golden-armored knights.
Sarlin looked at the overall situation. The real battle was still on his side. His Cloud Walk was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he reached the side of the mage protected by the giant rune. The clouds were swept by the white holy light and instantly dissipated. Sarlin knew that this was due to his lack of understanding of the power of laws. Otherwise, the clouds would have enveloped the entire battlefield and formed a domain.
Salin took a step forward and stretched out his hand. In his hand was the mysterious family crest. No matter how strong the Chief Inquisitor's shield was, it couldn't resist the family crest's absorption power. Sarlin now understood. The family crest's attack could be neutralized by high-level equipment, but the absorption power couldn't be defended against.
