When the sacred knight who injured Han Shuo saw Han Shuo turn around and fly towards Lawrence, he hesitated for a moment and didn't rashly chase after him.
In the direction that Han Shuo was flying towards, apart from sacred swordmaster Karel, there was also space sacred magus Sabakas. With two sacred rank experts there, before the earth sacred magus Dempus recovered, this sacred knight obviously had some misgivings.
Since the sacred knight didn't dare to act blindly without thinking, the experts from the Church of Light and Prince Ashburn's side naturally wouldn't foolishly rush over and throw away their lives. Therefore, the group of people could only watch as Han Shuo spoke ruthlessly and quickly flew towards Lawrence's side.
By now, Lawrence's mansion had been completely destroyed by the battle between the two sacred rank experts and the earth magic spell Shatter Earth. All that could be seen were collapsed houses and desolation everywhere.
The servants and maids in Lawrence's mansion had all been massacred a step earlier. Currently, there were only less than ten trusted aides by Lawrence's side. On the other hand, after the enemy had lost the Shatter Earth spell, they still had close to four hundred experts of various professions with astonishing battle prowess. The sound of hooves gradually approached from the distance. It seemed that there were still reinforcements coming.
Earth sacred magus Dempus lightly exhaled. Wisps of purple light drifted out from his body and a bone-chilling aura spread along with the purple light.
Dempus was after all a sacred magus and his proficiency in manipulating mental strength had already reached an extraordinary level. The invasion of the cold air for a moment could cool or even freeze his body. However, once he recovered and used his mental strength to expel the cold air, the cold air obviously wouldn't be able to take his life.
Moreover, when the cold air from the Demonslayer Edge entered his body, he had already used magic to resist it twice. Only a few wisps of the dense cold poison had entered his body. A mage of his realm naturally wouldn't be so easily taken away by a few wisps of cold poison.
After Dempus expelled the cold air from his body, there was still some lingering fear in his heart. Fortunately, he had reacted in time just now and had many experts by his side to protect him. Otherwise, if Han Shuo had the opportunity to make another move while he was suffering from the cold poison, it was likely that his old life would have been lost.
What a terrifying martial skill! Dempus was aghast in his heart as he looked at Han Shuo who was covered in wounds and had a sinister appearance as he walked towards Lawrence. He thought to himself, Could it be that astrologer Grace's prophecy that this person could bring new prosperity to the Lancelot Empire is true?
"Brian, are, are you alright?" Phoebe struggled free from Karel's hands with all her might and rushed to Han Shuo with teary eyes. Her tender little hands trembled as she caressed the terrifying bloody hole on Han Shuo's face.
"It's nothing, don't worry!" Han Shuo cracked an ugly smile and comforted Phoebe, who was crying uncontrollably. He reached out and grabbed Phoebe's little hand that was touching the bloody hole on his cheek and walked towards Lawrence.
Lawrence's expression was full of worry as he hurriedly said, "Healer, where's the healer!"
"Dead, he's long dead!" Dark grand magus Crowley, who had pledged allegiance to Lawrence, sighed softly and took out a medicine bottle. He passed it to Han Shuo and said, "Quickly apply it on the wound!"
"Senior!" The old assassin Bollands, who was beside Lawrence, had been staring deeply at Han Shuo and softly called out at this moment.
Bollands wasn't young anymore and had seen all sorts of situations as an assassin. He didn't intentionally express his concern in front of Han Shuo, but the murderous aura on his body became even denser. It was obvious that his target wasn't on Han Shuo's side.
"No need!" Han Shuo smiled as he refused. However, his smile on that terrifying face didn't make one feel at ease. At least, Phoebe started to cry bitterly again.
"There's really no need. My wound is no longer bleeding. The martial technique I train in is special. This kind of external injury that looks very serious won't have any substantial effect on me." Han Shuo couldn't help but explain once again when he saw everyone anxiously trying to apply the medicine on his body.
Hearing Han Shuo's words, everyone couldn't help but seriously size up Han Shuo with a bellyful of doubt. All of their expressions suddenly froze.
The wounds all over Han Shuo's body, from the finger-sized bloody hole that was previously bubbling with blood, all of the fresh blood seemed to have frozen at the entrance of the hole. The scarlet red muscle fibers on the wound wriggled like worms. The originally finger-sized bloody hole had actually shrunk to half its original size.
Sacred swordmaster Karel, who was always calm and unperturbed, was somewhat doubting his own eyes. He subconsciously closed his eyes and opened them again, gazing at the bloody hole on Han Shuo's body.
It had really shrunk to half its original size!
Karel's expression changed. With his torch-like eyes, he could clearly see that the bloody hole on Han Shuo's body was the size of a pinky finger and was oozing scarlet blood. However, not only had the bleeding stopped, the bloody hole had also shrunk to the size of a chopstick.
Han Shuo had soared into the sky from the depths of the ground and sent that peculiar undead creature back to the other world before flying back to their side. All of this took less than two minutes!
Two minutes was roughly equivalent to one trance. Such an unimaginable transformation in such a short period of time, Karel couldn't help but be indescribably astonished!
Bollands's eyes burned with passion as he stared at the bloody hole on Han Shuo's lower abdomen. This bloody hole near Han Shuo's demon infant was now only the size of a toothpick and no longer as terrifying as it was at the beginning.
Demonic arts! This was the might of demonic arts! Bollands shouted in his heart. He who was about to cultivate the demonic arts suddenly felt his heartbeat accelerate and the excitement in his heart became somewhat uncontrollable.
"Alright, you guys don't have to worry about me. I will recover very quickly. Now, we should think of how to block those people's attacks and buy enough time for Mister Sabakas! "Han Shuo turned his head to look at the restless enemies and said calmly in a deep voice.
Under Han Shuo's reminder, everyone had discovered the abnormality on his body. Now that they heard him say these words with a calm expression, they suddenly understood that the current situation was far from good. Looking in the direction of the enemies, they suddenly discovered that the sacred knight and earth sacred magus Dempus were recklessly charging over.
Space sacred magus Sabakas was the only one who didn't raise his head to look at Han Shuo. At this moment, he was holding a magic staff with a tip as sharp as a pen and was carving a complicated space magic formation on the flat rock ground.
This magic formation with a diameter of three meters had an irregular rhombus shape. Every time Sabakas drew with his magic staff, thin and long veined lines would appear. Strands of elemental energy flowed along the tip of the magic staff and disappeared into the veined lines.
Sabakas, who was completely focused, had completely forgotten himself. In his eyes, there was nothing else other than the magic formation beneath his feet. He simply didn't care about the movements outside. It was as if he wouldn't even frown if the heavens fell and the earth split apart.
As a space sacred magus, no one could stop Sabakas if he wanted to leave alone. If Sabakas was willing, he could even bring one or two people along with him. Unfortunately, there were too many important people here and Sabakas couldn't disregard the lives and deaths of others. Thus, he could only use the magic transportation formation.
The objective of the sacred knight and earth sacred magus Dempus, who were charging over, was obviously to stop Sabakas from completing the magic formation. With the advantage of numbers, they planned to get rid of everyone here once and for all, so as to avoid leaving behind endless troubles in the future.
While Dempus was flying over, another magic staff actually appeared in his hand. He once again started chanting a lengthy magic incantation. His eyes were focused on Han Shuo, as if Han Shuo was his greatest enemy.
"Pay attention, we must not let anyone disturb Sabakas!" sacred swordmaster Karel hastily instructed after recovering from his shock at Han Shuo's body.
Usually, the strongest person in a team would be the leader. Karel's words made everyone on Lawrence's side focus their attention. They immediately surrounded Sabakas in a square formation, intending to fight for enough time for Sabakas.
"Let's go!" Just as everyone was prepared to buy time for Sabakas, Sabakas, who had been concentrating on setting up the space magic formation, suddenly let out a light sigh.
Everyone's expressions relaxed. Under Sabakas's guidance, Lawrence and the group with the weakest battle strength took the lead and stood inside the magic transportation formation.
"Don't let them escape!" The sacred knight who was rushing over shouted from afar.
"Meteor Rain!" Dempus, who had been chanting earth magic, finished chanting. Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from above everyone's heads as several hundred meteors suddenly fell from the sky.
It was easy to imagine what would happen if such a dense meteor rain fell in such a small area!
The skeletal staff suddenly appeared in Han Shuo's hands. Thousands of bone spears shot into the sky like a rain of arrows. A bewitching white bone shield blossomed with malevolent beauty, blocking everyone's heads.
A few mages simultaneously released defensive magic. Sacred swordmaster Karel raised his longsword and coldly looked above, ready to block the descending attack at any time.
"Squeak squeak …" As the meteors rumbled and smashed down, a peculiar sound came from the sky.
Han Shuo raised his head and stared, discovering that a black hole had suddenly split open in the sky. It was as if a demon had opened its ghastly mouth, as if the sky had been torn apart by a black sack. That terrifyingly powerful meteor rain was swallowed by the black hole. The defensive measures that Han Shuo had taken out were completely useless.
"Alright, it's your turn!" Space sacred magus Sabakas pointed at the space magic formation in front of him and said to the remaining Han Shuo, Karel, Chloe, and Phoebe. His expression was calm, without the slightest nervousness that one would expect in the face of danger. He was truly indifferent to favor or disgrace!
Han Shuo stared blankly and looked at space sacred magus Sabakas with some astonishment. At this moment, Sabakas no longer had his usual amiable smile. Instead, his focused face had become somewhat solemn. Han Shuo understood in his heart that the black hole that had swallowed the meteor rain was released by this old man.
However, Han Shuo didn't hear Sabakas chanting an incantation earlier. This caused Han Shuo to be overwhelmed with shock, but at the same time, he understood that Sabakas was already able to release magic through telepathy. It seemed that even though they were both sacred magi, Sabakas's comprehension of the essence of magic should be higher than Dempus'.
"Let's go!" While Han Shuo was in a daze, Phoebe grabbed him and forcefully pulled him into the space magic transportation formation that Sabakas had set up.
Before Han Shuo could react, Sabakas had already waved his hand to activate the transportation formation. A white light suddenly flashed and Han Shuo and the others all disappeared.
Only space sacred magus Sabakas was left in the entire area. He stabbed the sharp root of the magic formation in his hand downwards, causing the space magic formation that he had painstakingly set up to suddenly shatter, its original appearance no longer visible.
"Dempus, I didn't expect that a person of your realm would actually do such a thing to rebel against the future of the Lancelot Empire. As a friend of many years, I feel pained for you!" After destroying the space magic formation, Sabakas looked at Dempus who had already arrived in front of him and sighed, lamenting.
"I don't believe in that illusory prophecy. Letting that illegitimate child become the king of the Lancelot Empire is simply absurd. Not only me, but many of the nobles in the empire will not allow this to happen.
I have no choice but to do this for the sake of the empire's future. The ones who are obstinate are you. You shouldn't have listened to the words of a muddle-headed astrologer and gambled the empire's future on a heretic. That's an evil follower of the Calamity Church. How can he bring the future of the Lancelot Empire? "Dempus righteously rebuked Sabakas. He was clearly someone who didn't believe in fate.
"Mister Sabakas, I greatly respect you as a person and have also heard some of your legends. However, I still have to say that even if you rescue Lawrence and the others, you still won't be able to change their fates. The entire Ossen City is currently under the control of the Duke and the eldest prince. They ultimately won't be able to escape. "That sacred knight laughed heartily as he said this to Sabakas.
"That's not necessarily true!" Sabakas calmly looked at the sacred knight and said in a deep voice, "At least there's one place that you won't be able to easily control!"
The Dark Mantle headquarters was a place with even tighter defenses than the imperial palace. Even if the imperial palace was under their control, the Dark Mantle headquarters wouldn't be easily taken down. As a senior elder of the Dark Mantle, Sabakas was the one who implemented the defensive measures on Mt. Ordas. He clearly understood the powerful defensive capabilities of Mt. Ordas.
"It can't be denied that the Dark Mantle headquarters isn't something that outsiders can easily take down!" That sacred knight said with a serious expression. Shortly after, he once again revealed a smile and said, "However, if the internal situation starts to turn chaotic, then it's a different story!"
When these words were said, space sacred magus Sabakas' expression changed in fright. He didn't continue speaking nonsense with them and hurriedly waved his magic staff, disappearing in a streak of white light.
