[First Update]
Starlight shrouded the surroundings. The Chief Inquisitor felt that his body was being confined again. He felt that the Astrologer's divine spell was being restrained. The worst thing was that Schika's javelin had flown in front of him.
The javelin was attacking from above. A big hole appeared in the Chief Inquisitor's robe. All the javelins changed their direction at the same time and pierced into the hole. The Chief Inquisitor could not control his body in the air. He was already facing upwards. One of his arms had been destroyed by the dragon's breath. He was in so much pain that he could not recite his prayers.
It was relatively easy to refine a semi-divine artifact. In the past, the mages of Serg Island worked together to refine one, but the materials were hard to find. After the semi-divine artifact left the Chief Inquisitor's hand, it automatically turned into a square plate and blocked the hole created by the dragon's breath.
The six javelins hit the plate one after another. The javelins broke into pieces and the Chief Inquisitor spat out blood again.
The material of Schika's javelins was far inferior to the square plate. However, Schika's strength was completely used on this semi-divine artifact. The Chief Inquisitor was seriously injured and could not use the semi-divine artifact to borrow strength. He could only bear the impact of the javelins by himself.
However, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Chief Inquisitor's breathing stabilized. He hurriedly recited half of a sentence – My God, lend me your life!
Before he could finish the sentence, the square plate expanded again and completely covered the Chief Inquisitor's body. The ice cones from the sky could no longer hit the Chief Inquisitor's body. Within the Chief Inquisitor's robe, the Dark Substitute appeared once again. Its color was as pale as water.
The Chief Inquisitor's body entered the Dark Substitute and his arm grew back in an instant.
The starlight in the sky dimmed. At this moment, the Chief Inquisitor's soul did not enter the Dark Substitute. Instead, he summoned more than a hundred angels, which exploded in the sky.
When the bright white light dissipated, there was only a tall and ferocious Dark Substitute left in the sky. Its body was covered in scales and its eyes were flashing with purple light. The Chief Inquisitor's soul had disappeared without a trace.
Salin slumped to the ground. He had used all his strength to cast the Astrology Spell and a large area of effect spell. His fatigue had exceeded the limits of his body. Shika was a little exhausted. She had used six ordinary javelins to destroy a Half Divine Tool. With such an explosive power, she was unable to search for the Chief Judge's soul.
The crisis was not over yet. The Dark Substitute floated quietly in the sky. The pair of purple eyes in its eye sockets began to rotate slightly, locking onto the person on the ground.
The Golden Dragon that Neris had transformed into twisted on the ground and transformed into the form of a Demon God. She didn't dare to casually transform into a Skeleton King. Her Skeleton King form was just to spite the Winged Skeleton, and it was really inappropriate. If she didn't devour a few Sovereign Kings, she wouldn't be able to achieve perfection.
Even if she transformed into a Demon God, Nelis was not sure that she could deal with the monster in the sky. She saw that Nicholas was still greedily using the Fallen Scepter to collect the souls of the 12 Adjudicators. The heavily injured Adjudicators could not withstand the attacks of the Fallen Priest. After collecting the souls, Nicholas still had to search the bodies of the Adjudicators for equipment.
His Fallen Scepter only had one ability left. If he wanted to fight, he would have to find a new weapon.
Nicholas regretted that he didn't make more equipment. He thought that the Fallen Scepter would be enough. Neris grabbed Nicholas' neck from behind. Her other three arms grabbed Shika and the two Golden Sword Saints respectively.
She hurriedly swung out a huge tail and rolled Salin up as well. Then, she fled to the altar.
Neris knew that Salin would be very angry if one of them was missing. This tail was not usually shown. She used a lot of strength to control it. Salin was wrapped up by the huge tail. If it weren't for the strong defense of the Star Rune Suit, his bones would have been broken.
The 36 Blue Ice Girls that he summoned flew into the sky. The leader of the Elemental creatures flew back into the badge. The backlash from forcibly attacking a Level 10 Mage made the elemental creatures unable to maintain a stable form. If it didn't return to the badge to recuperate, its Elemental Core would probably explode.
The Dark Substitute raised a huge square plate and smashed it hard on the ground. More than 30 Elemental creatures that flew up were hit by a shadow with a diameter of more than 300 meters.
These Elemental creatures were already a little weak after providing Salin with elemental power. The Dark Substitute was not afraid of the backlash. It fully activated the demi-divine artifact, and the 36 Blue Ice Girls couldn't even escape from its Elemental Core.
However, this obstruction also consumed more than half of the power in the demi-divine artifact, and it could no longer launch such an attack. The Dark Substitute pounced on the ground, only to see Neris leading five people and rushing to the altar.
The battle on the altar was almost over. More than 100 Golden Knights began to suffer losses. On the demons' side, there were only two Greater Demons and a dozen other demons fleeing.
Neris passed through the altar and directly broke into the Purgatory of Depravity hidden behind the altar.
The Dark Substitute landed on the ground and was about to rush to the altar. Winter, who had been hiding beside the corpses, finally found an opportunity to attack. His God Hunting Spear burst out with a golden aura and pierced the Dark Substitute's head. His speed and skills were displayed to the fullest in this attack.
Although the Dark Substitute was tyrannical and had been infused with more than half of the Chief Judge's energy, its close combat ability was no match for the veteran Winter. Winter's God Hunting Spear strangely bypassed the square plate and pierced the Dark Substitute's head. The Dark Substitute's head exploded with a loud bang.
Then, the Dark Substitute's square-shaped plate smashed heavily on Dong's God Hunting Spear. Dong felt as if the breath in his body had been cut off. It was as if death had descended upon him. His entire body flew more than a hundred meters away and only stopped when he hit a rock. The God Hunting Spear flew out of his hand.
The God Hunting Spear's quality was far superior to the square plate. However, Winter's strength was too inferior. After being smashed by the square plate, Winter didn't die. Even if his skills were amazing, most of the force was borne by the God Hunting Spear. Winter was now only left with the ability to breathe, and no way to counterattack.
Winter sighed in his heart. If Salin couldn't avoid this, then there was nothing he could do. He had waited patiently for a long time before completing this attack, but he still hadn't been able to kill the Dark Substitute. If Salin died, that scaled monster wouldn't let him go either. Winter wasn't afraid of death, but he was unwilling to die before he could do what he wanted to do.
The Dark Doppelganger's head had been blown apart by Winter's spear. Its shoulders trembled, wanting to grow a new head, but the pure power of the Godhunter Spear itself was suppressing it, and so the new head was unable to grow.
The Dark Substitute didn't care about the head at all. He didn't need his eyes to see, either. He just strode towards the altar. The golden-armored knights who had been chasing after the Fiend had seen the situation long ago. They no longer had any desire to fight. When Nelis had charged past them, the golden-armored knights hadn't even moved.
The Chief Judge had left, and so the golden-armored knights had the intention to leave as well. However, the Dark Substitute was still here. If they were to leave now, who knew what sort of punishment they would receive later?
The Dark Substitute had lost its head. It relied on its instincts to walk towards the altar, wanting to chase after Nelis and the others. As soon as it passed through the altar, it was dragged into the Depraved Purgatory by the twenty-four chains that had been hidden in the fog.
In the Depraved Purgatory, Nelis panted. She put down the people around her and returned to her little Fiend form.
The Depraved Purgatory was a peaceful scene. The Dark Substitute that had been dragged in by the Depraved Shackles was pulled onto the altar floating in the sky. The Depraved Shackles sealed its power and slowly absorbed it.
The Dark Substitute had been heavily injured to begin with. At this moment, it had no ability to resist at all.
Salin raised his head to look at the sky. The height of the Depraved Purgatory was only 36 kilometers. All the corners were within the range of his elemental eyes. The Depraved Shackles pierced through the Dark Substitute and fixed it in the middle of the altar. In the middle of the altar, Nelis's substitute opened his eyes and observed the energy structure within the Dark Substitute's body.
Unfortunately, the Depraved Shackles couldn't leave the 12 Movements of Purgatory. Otherwise, it would have been a powerful piece of offensive equipment. If the Dark Substitute hadn't lost its head, it would have been very difficult for it to approach the Depraved Shackles' attack range. The Depraved Shackles' attack range was too short.
Salin recovered some of his strength. Seeing that Nicholas was panting evenly, he asked, "Nicholas, who is that old fellow?"
Salin had tried his best but failed to kill the Chief Inquisitor. He had even released the lightning in his family badge and blocked all the attacks of the Thunder Dragon Spear. Such a person would definitely not be a nobody in the Vatican.
"It's the Chief Inquisitor. I've only seen him once when I was young. To think that he's so strong …" Nicholas was very impressed with himself. At first, he hadn't recognized the Chief Inquisitor's appearance. However, when the Chief Inquisitor used the God's remains, he finally remembered who this old man was.
"Chief Inquisitor … It's a pity that we didn't kill him," Salin said regretfully.
"My Lord, it's good enough that we didn't die." Nicholas smiled bitterly and said, "The Chief Inquisitor has three Divine Artifacts. Although he isn't as good as the Pope, the Pope's three Divine Artifacts will be weakened many times if they are separated. The Chief Inquisitor's three Divine Artifacts aren't a set. If the power of each of them could be unleashed, we wouldn't even have had a chance to escape. "
"Then why didn't the final attack kill him?" Salin asked unwillingly. He had already released his strongest attack, but he still hadn't been able to kill the Chief Inquisitor in the end. The Vatican was too powerful.
"It's the Divine Seat Technique. The Chief Inquisitor must have raised a Divine Seat."
"What's a Divine Seat?"
Nicholas thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, you know about the Phantom race, right?"
Salin nodded.
