This was not the first time Salin had faced a powerful enemy. The most dangerous time was when he faced Deacon White. Back then, he was ignorant and fearless. He actually negotiated with Deacon White and escaped. But now, he could not. The deacons under the oracle were not homicidal maniacs. They did things with a clear purpose. With enough benefits, there was a chance of survival.
The black deacon of the Inquisition was different. There were no conditions to negotiate. Not to mention that Salin had just killed his son.
Salin did not dare to fly away now. The black bishop flew faster than him. If he flew into the sky, the situation would be the opposite. He would no longer have the advantage of speed.
Neris felt that she was being stared at by a demon. The two men with the strange double-edged scimitars walked towards her from the left and right. The two puppets went up to meet them, but they were kicked away by the two swordsmen more than ten meters away.
These two people were too fast. The Construct Puppets were not alive. Under Nelis's control, they could deal with swordmaster level enemies. These two people were probably quasi-swordmasters or black iron swordmasters.
Nelis began to miss Silva. If Silva was here, she would have some confidence in dealing with one of them. The newly mastered skill was extremely hidden. If it was unexpected, even silver swordmasters would be hit. No matter which one of them was hugged by her, the electric current could paralyze them.
The problem was that there were two enemies. Hugging would inevitably reduce the speed of movement. If she hugged one, the other swordsmen would deliver a fatal blow. Nelis was not sure if she could avoid it. Moreover, the enemy was the kind who did not care about the life and death of their companions. This made Nelis very worried.
Whoosh …
The two swordsmen's scimitars glowed with blood. One left and one right, they attacked at the same time like two scissors. Four scimitars blocked all of Nelis's escape routes. The scimitars were four feet long. Nelis's dagger was only the length of a palm. If Nelis wanted to fight back, she would have to be faster than the two swordsmen.
Suddenly, Nelis made an unexpected move. Her body shrank violently, and her whole body fell to the ground. There was deep snow on the ground. When she lay down, her whole body was hidden in the snow.
The four long swords missed. The sword energy burst out from the blades. The snow in the area where the three people were fighting exploded, forming a vast expanse of whiteness. Neris lowered her body, and her movements became more agile. Although demons were intelligent creatures, their fighting style was close to that of magical beasts. Neris landed on all fours, and the two swordsmen lost their target for a moment.
Neris burrowed into the thick snow and retreated deep into the forest. The two puppets pounced forward once more, but the two swordsmen were wary of the puppets' heavy weapons. They couldn't face them head-on, so they could only circle around the puppets and kick them twice from the side.
These two kicks were infused with sword energy, and the puppet's body emitted the sound of metal parts breaking as it fell to the ground. With the Dragon Crystal, the puppets could repair themselves, but the parts damaged by the Sword Qi would take a long time to repair. At least in the current battle, Nelis could no longer rely on the two puppets.
Not only were the sword energies of these two swordsmen astonishing, but their speed was also faster than any enemy that Nelis had ever seen.
Salin couldn't care less about Nelis's predicament. He was also locked on by the black-robed bishop's perception. It was as if his body was fixed behind the tree by a huge shackle, and he couldn't move his feet.
"Hmph!" Salin snorted heavily, and the air around his body shook violently. At the same time, he released Cloud Walk and took out his family badge.
He could only bet that Nelis could take care of the two swordsmen. If she couldn't beat the black-robed bishop, Salin would have to take a risk and use the special attribute of the badge to fight for his life. This badge could even absorb the power of a giant dragon. The black-robed bishop was at most a Level Seven Mage, so Salin didn't believe that he couldn't suck him dry.
The black-robed bishop saw Salin release the fog behind the tree and smiled coldly. The shape of his red pupils constantly changed, like dancing flames. This pair of eyes could see through all kinds of confusing magic, and he was very clear about Salin's position behind the tree.
The black-robed bishop and Salin stood facing each other across the tree. He didn't go around the tree, but chanted a prayer on the spot.
"God said, where I am not, is hell."
The black-robed bishop's prayer was extremely short, and it was the shortest prayer Salin had ever heard. As soon as his voice fell, red flames appeared on the snow around him. This flame was the real deal. It was different from the ice-cold flames that the Black Deacon had conjured last time. The red flames burned fiercely, and the temperature suddenly rose. The accumulated snow let out a sizzling sound and turned into water vapor. It tangled with Salin's cloud mist, as though it was trying to tear apart Salin's Cloud Walk.
Salin's Cloud Walk also had a Water Pattern Shield, so when the red flames burned, Salin didn't suffer any damage. But the attack that followed was a hundred times fiercer than the flames. The snow evaporated by the flames formed tornado-like air currents. There were at least a hundred of them, and they violently attacked where Salin stood.
"Ah …"
Salin made a vague sound in his throat. He felt that not only was the water vapor controlled by the black-robed bishop, but all the air around him was sucked out after the red flames burned.
Vacuum Confinement!
Other than the water vapor formed by Cloud Walk, Salin could no longer mobilize the surrounding water elements to replenish his magic consumption. This divine spell of a mage was so similar to magic that it immediately controlled all of Salin's movements. Other than releasing magic in place, Salin couldn't do anything else.
There was a Water Pattern Shield on the surface of Salin's body, and the shield was surrounded by turquoise water. At this time, he could only raise his left hand, which was inlaid with a dragon crystal, and directly extract elemental power from the dragon crystal. Otherwise, his magic could hardly take shape.
A short prayer from the black-robed bishop made Salin lose the ability to mobilize elements.
Salin regretted greatly. If he had learned Rafael's Crystal Finger now, he was sure that he could penetrate the tree with one finger and make the black-robed bishop suffer. But Salin had too many things to learn. Before advancing, he couldn't learn the level-six Crystal Finger.
In order to strengthen his foundation, Salin had been delaying the speed of advancement. Now he found that many times, levels still had a very practical meaning.
"Break!" Salin absorbed the elemental power from the dragon crystal and released dozens of wind blades. These wind blades were all condensed from water vapor, but in essence, they were water magic. Salin couldn't calculate the weakness of the opponent's divine spell, so he could only attack the dozens of places that looked relatively weak.
If he hadn't developed a way to release low-level magic in a wide range, this would have consumed at least one-tenth of his magic string. Now, this water spell, Wind Blade, was still a level-two spell, so Salin could use it unscrupulously.
Dozens of tornado-shaped air currents were instantly broken by Salin. He released dozens of wind blades again, and the surrounding elemental power had reached a balance, no longer being absorbed and controlled by the tornados.
Salin broke the black-robed bishop's Vacuum Confinement in one move, which surprised him.
Anyone below the level of Magic Shooter had to absorb elemental power from the environment if they wanted to cast magic. If they only used magic strings to release magic, the power would be greatly reduced. This level-four mage's magic counterattack was so fast that he probably had some special equipment on him.
Thinking of this, the black-robed bishop immediately changed his attack method. The red flames around him weakened slightly. Separated by the tree, he opened his mouth and prayed again.
"God said, where I am, is the kingdom of heaven."
Hundreds of white light rays descended from the sky, and the red flames burning within a few hundred meters were all extinguished by the white light, revealing the charred soil.
The water vapor formed by Salin's Cloud Walk couldn't block the white light at all. The white light stopped on his Water Pattern Shield for a moment, then penetrated it.
The Water Pattern Shield was an automatic defensive spell, and the white light's attribute was healing, so the Water Pattern Shield let it go.
The white light formed by divine spells had many abilities, the most common one being healing. Most defensive spells wouldn't block healing spells, even if it was a level-one divine spell or spell.
The white light entered Salin's body, and he felt warm and comfortable, no longer feeling hostile toward the black-robed bishop. He even wanted to withdraw Cloud Walk and Water Pattern Shield, but this idea only turned half a circle in his mind before it was interrupted by the sharp pain.
Salin's almost healed left hand emitted green smoke at this time, and he felt severe pain from the cracks of his bones.
The divinity of the God of Light clashed with the divinity of Myers, and the pain was even more intense than when Salin used his family badge.
Pain! Pain! Pain!
There was no other thought in Salin's mind. The black-robed bishop's divine spell had failed, and he still didn't know about the changes in Salin's body. He bypassed the tree, pulled out a slender metal thorn from his ring, and was about to assassinate Salin.
He was very confident in his divine spell, which was specifically aimed at mages. As long as they were illuminated by the divine spell, mages would lose control of themselves for a short period of time.
The green stream of water wrapped around the surface of Salin's body also violently twisted. This stream of water had merged with two mutated Water Pattern Shields, which also contained the divinity of Myers. After the white light shone, this stream of water seemed to boil, and its surface even showed signs of vaporization.
The bones in Salin's hand issued a crackling sound, and the green life force flowed up his arm, expelling the white light that had invaded his body. This life force was much denser than the divine light that the black-robed bishop had attracted with his prayer. The last leaf of the Tree of Life had merged with Salin's bones, and his left hand was stronger than any of the priests of Myers.
This power wasn't suitable for battle, but now the life force was fighting for his body with the divine light of the God of Light. The black-robed bishop had only used his prayer to borrow a little of the God of Light's divinity. This divinity was also condensed in this plane, and if it was destroyed, it wouldn't attract the attention of the God of Light.
