The 'Sky Shrinking Shadow Searching Technique' was a demonic art that was commonly used to search for strange objects. Han Shuo had used this technique to detect a region outside the city where a vacuum had formed. Feeling that something was amiss, he took the opportunity to sneak over.
Under normal circumstances, air would fill any place. As long as there was space, there would definitely not be a vacuum zone. Once a region turned into a vacuum, it was definitely man-made, unless it was formed naturally.
Given Han Shuo's familiarity with Ossen City, he had never seen a vacuum zone around the northern city district. Therefore, he determined that the abnormality in that region was most likely man-made.
The handover ceremony for Fanny as the dean of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force had already concluded. With Ayermike Cotton and Graeae around, in addition to Little Skull watching over them in secret, Han Shuo believed that the dignitaries of the empire who remained in the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force shouldn't be in any danger.
Now that he had nothing to worry about, Han Shuo turned into a faint line of blood that was hard to see with the naked eye and quickly flew out of the northern city district, not alerting anyone along the way.
The distance from the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force to the outskirts of the city was only slightly more than five kilometers. With Han Shuo's speed, it only took him a few minutes to arrive at the vacuum zone.
Upon arriving, Han Shuo only needed to silently observe his surroundings. He was certain that those who attacked the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force must be inside.
Right in front of him was a spatial boundary that was condensed with energy. It had opened up a small force field. Behind the boundary, a glaring radiance obstructed Han Shuo's naked eye from peeking inside. Divine aura converged into the shape of a 'giant cup', filling the boundary and forming a thin layer of protective membrane, isolating Han Shuo's consciousness from sensing anything.
Han Shuo narrowed his eyes. A cold glint flickered in his eyes. He could clearly see that the 'giant cup' formed from divine aura was the divine weapon of the Church of Light, the Holy Grail. On top of the Holy Grail, there were several olive branches radiating with golden radiance. They were also constantly releasing divine energy, maintaining the protection of this region.
The divine weapons of the Church of Light had the effect of amplifying light magic. The divine energy contained within could even form a miraculous defensive force. The reason why Han Shuo's consciousness was unable to detect the presence of the intruders in the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force was most likely due to the divine energy.
Han Shuo's lips curled into a cold smile as he stared at the vacuum zone formed by all sorts of mystical powers. He was not in a hurry to make a move. Han Shuo, who was hiding in the dark, believed that it would be very difficult for the people inside to discover him.
His Divine Sense spread out, and with this area as the center, it gradually spread out in all directions, carefully searching the surroundings for any unexpected dangers that might appear. At the same time, a few incantations were chanted. Wood elite zombie, metal elite zombie, and earth elite zombie flew over from the netherworld. Under Han Shuo's instructions, they surrounded the vacuum zone in a triangular formation.
Fire elite zombie and water elite zombie had obtained enormous opportunities in the Abyss realm. They were still slowly digesting the energy from the two great Abyssal Demons and could not assist Han Shuo in the short term. Therefore, they could not fully deploy the Penta-elemental Undead Formation.
Han Shuo had no idea what kind of strength the intruders in the vacuum zone possessed. As his other two avatars were still recovering in the Cemetery of Death, Han Shuo was afraid that he might encounter the Primordius Dragon. Therefore, he did not dare to be careless. He cautiously summoned the three active zombies and deployed the incomplete Penta-elemental Undead Formation in advance, in case of emergencies.
When all preparations were in order, Han Shuo gave the little skeleton, who had stayed behind at the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, an order to come quickly. Only then did he take out a Pearl of Annihilation with a cold smile, and tossed it into the empty space not far away without the slightest hesitation.
Rumble … The Pearl of Annihilation suddenly exploded in that area, causing the space to instantly distort and collapse. It tore open a few sword long rifts, allowing the Soulpiercers to fly in.
After tossing out a Pearl of Annihilation, Han Shuo coldly stared at the vacuum zone in front of him, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time.
"Cough, cough, cough. What's that? Why did it suddenly explode?" an urgent voice transmitted into Han Shuo's ears through the rifts in the vacuum zone.
"I don't know. Could it be that the mixture of several types of magic has caused a bad mutation?" an ice-cold voice replied indifferently.
"Enemies!" a loud cry suddenly sounded from within. Following this loud cry, the inside of the vacuum zone suddenly became chaotic.
In the instant a few rifts appeared in that vacuum region, Han Shuo, who had been unable to pry into the situation inside, immediately used his consciousness to ascertain the approximate strength of the few people inside through those rifts.
As all kinds of energies were mixed within the boundary, Han Shuo still couldn't make out the appearance of the intruders. He could only rely on the acute senses of his consciousness to discern their identities from the aura within their bodies.
There were six intruders in total. Three of them had the holy aura of the Church of Light, two had bodies and temperaments as cold as ice, likely experts who were not at the Shrine of Ice's snowfield. The last one had a body filled with frenzied explosive energy, yet his soul was strange like that of a shaman. It seemed that after the death of hundreds of thousands of orcs in the Empire of Orcs, the true experts had also joined the fray.
There were a total of six people. Three of them were followers of the Church of Light, two were demigods, and one was a basegod with astonishing strength. The two experts from the Shrine of Ice were merely sacred magi, the weakest among them. It seemed that after losing the two demigods, Ice Celestial Corey and Snow Celestial Tiana, the Shrine of Ice was indeed completely finished.
As for that orc shaman, because he cultivated in the energy of summoning, which was considered to be an unorthodox path, Han Shuo couldn't determine the specific stage of his strength for the time being. He only felt that the orc shaman seemed to be slightly stronger than a demigod, but still a short distance away from the realm of basegods.
Among the six, one basegod, three demigods including the orc shaman, and two sacred magi who were nothing to be afraid of. In the eyes of the present Han Shuo, such strength didn't seem all that powerful.
Therefore, Han Shuo did not continue hiding in the shadows, but came out in the open. He coldly gazed at the space before him, waiting for the six to come out.
Even if it was only his main body, Han Shuo believed that it wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with these six people, not to mention that Little Skull, a lowgod of death, was on the way.
"Come out!" Han Shuo coldly shouted.
The vacuum boundary abruptly quietened down. Han Shuo sneered incessantly in his mind. He could even feel the fear in the hearts of the two sacred magi of the Shrine of Ice.
Under Han Shuo's attentive gaze, the boundary in front of him finally gave up its stubborn defense. Streams of divine energy returned to the center of the Holy Grail. The energy maintaining the space boundary also gradually disappeared. Everything rapidly returned to its original state.
When the last stream of golden light returned to the Holy Grail, the space before him shattered like a mirror, revealing the original scene.
A skinny middle-aged man, wearing a Crown of Light on his head and holding a Holy Grail with an olive branch in his hand, looked at Han Shuo with a bitter and hateful expression. Beside him were a demigod knight and a demigod light archmage. They were none other than the two that Han Shuo had met at the Sacred Mountain of the Church of Light. They were the ones who instigated the Primordius Dragon to keep Han Shuo in the Abyss realm forever in the Dragon Valley of the Dark Forest.
An elderly orc draped in simple animal skin was looking at Han Shuo with hatred. He looked as though he couldn't wait to pounce on Han Shuo and devour him whole.
The last two sacred magi of the Shrine of Ice were also looking at Han Shuo with hatred. However, their eyes were flickering. It seemed that their fear of Han Shuo was greater than their determination to exact revenge.
"You must be Brian?" the skinny middle-aged man wearing a crown on his head asked in a benevolent and tranquil voice. However, his eyes were flickering.
Han Shuo put on a faint smile and bowed at him in a friendly manner. Then, he replied, "That's right, Your Holiness! Hehe, you must be very disappointed to see me appear before you, right? "
Han Shuo was very astonished when he said those words. He did not expect that the Pope of the Church of Light would personally come to Lancelot City from the Oden Empire, traveling thousands of miles just for him. Not only that, he even chose to launch a sneak attack. It seemed that this Pope of the Church of Light was indeed a madman who would do anything to achieve his goals. It was no wonder that he could become the leader of the strongest religion on Profound Continent.
The Light Pope nodded and calmly admitted, "I am indeed very disappointed to see you standing before me unscathed. However, what I feel even more is sorrow for the dark era that Profound Continent is about to usher in."
"Oh, from what you have said, I am the root cause of the calamity on Profound Continent. Hehe, in that case, shouldn't the lives and deaths of the hundreds of thousands of civilians in the northern city district be your concern? "Han Shuo was so furious that he laughed when he heard the Light Pope's shameless words.
"For the safety of everyone on Profound Continent, some sacrifices are necessary!" the Light Pope shouted righteously while looking at Han Shuo.
"Bullsh * t!" Han Shuo pointed at the Light Pope's face and cursed. He knew that this Light Pope should be the most fanatical believer of the Church of Light. Han Shuo could not sense too many emotions and desires from the Light Pope. Instead, the Light Pope was like a puppet fabricated by the Church of Light. All of his actions and norms were based on the interests of the Church of Light. Talking to him was just a waste of breath.
"You will pay for the hundreds of thousands of my orc children's lives today!" The orc shaman roared when he saw that Han Shuo was being so savage. From his posture, it seemed as though he was about to charge at Han Shuo and risk his life.
How could Han Shuo be afraid of him? He sized up the orc shaman with a sneer and mocked, "You orcs are humans, but the people of our Lancelot Empire are not. All along, you orcs have been carrying out endless attacks on our Lancelot Empire. Who am I going to settle the score with for the deaths of the people of Lancelot Empire who have disappeared in the long river of history?"
The orcs' territory was barren and therefore they had been attacking the Lancelot Empire for the sake of rich land. After so many years, the number of civilians of Lancelot Empire who had died at the hands of orc warriors was definitely less than a hundred thousand!
"I don't care. In any case, you have killed more than a hundred thousand of our people. You must die!" The orc shaman bellowed like a wild beast. Soon after, he really pounced at Han Shuo.
