"Just a distance of four steps??? Is this tens of centimeters the end of my journey? My fate?? "
Sheyan could feel the stairs supporting his body constantly shattering and collapsing. His ears were also filled with cracking sounds. He did not even need to use his eyes to know that the stairs covered with cracks were in imminent danger.
He even calculated that he would only be able to stay here for three seconds at most before he would fall down the stairs.
One step to heaven, one step to hell.
Sometimes, one step really meant eternity!
The Cardinal suddenly felt that something was wrong, because he saw the look in Sheyan's eyes.
How was that the look in the eyes of someone who had reached a dead end??
No one had ever been able to maintain such a calm expression after all hope had been severed. Apart from the profoundness in his eyes, there was even more burning ambition!
"My fate.... is destined to not be able to cross these four steps?"
"Fate? What is that??"
"My fate is in my hands. No, it's in my hands!"
Although Sheyan was currently being tortured by the Seven Deadly Sins to the point that he could barely speak, his strong will and tenacious faith were able to convey his thoughts to the Cardinal through his MP!
The next second, an indescribable light shone from his finger. Faint cheers that were absolutely incompatible with the current atmosphere also appeared in the air.
It was the cheers of thousands of people on the field!
It was the excited cheers of the Hogwarts students after winning the Quidditch Cup!
At some point in time, Sheyan had already put on the dark gold ring he had snatched from Hakeem! He had repeatedly considered the powerful negative effects of the ring, which was likely to make it difficult for him to move around in the Harry Potter world, so he had been hesitating whether to sell it or wear it.
However, ever since he received Aziz's request, Sheyan found that the difficulty of a Golden Side Mission, even the lowest Golden Side Mission, was much higher than he had imagined!
Therefore, for Sheyan, even if the dark gold ring was a cup of poison, he could only drink it first! Drinking poison to quench thirst was a derogatory term, but if he could live for a few minutes after drinking the poison, and if he did not drink it, he would die immediately. Drinking the poison was definitely a wise choice, because life must be alive in order to create infinite miracles. If he died, it meant that there was no hope!
Amidst the flashes of light, the Cardinal was about to make his move, but Sheyan's mutilated body suddenly leaped into the air in an arc and flew up in a strange manner like a rainbow! The landing point was the 11th floor!
Manhattan,
37th Street,
Morgan Financial Center,
11th floor!!!!
Telekinesis!! This formidable and deadly ring, at this moment, displayed an incomparably formidable strength, allowing Sheyan to finally traverse a mere 4 steps! He arrived at the mission completion area.
During the process of telekinesis, the Cardinal felt a strong sense of loss, like a fish that was about to escape from the hook and a bird that was about to escape from the net. His eyes immediately burned with white holy flames, as if his pupils were on fire.
Pious and solemn hymns faintly rang out in the air. Just listening to the hymns would make anyone want to prostrate themselves in worship. A cluster of Holy Light so dense that it could not be penetrated quickly appeared in the sky above Sheyan.
The holy light split apart in an instant, revealing a pitch-black cross with traces of blood on it. Then, it came crashing down towards Sheyan in an earth-shattering manner!
The black cross contained an indescribable ferocious aura. The bloodstains on it were winding and twisted, as if they were new. It felt as if everything in the world was crying.
This was the "crucifix" created by the Cardinal's divine power. It was the crucifix on which Jesus, wearing the crown of thorns, was executed.
Even God fell on this crucifix! This showed the terrifying power contained in it!
The black cross came crashing down with a roar. When it appeared, it turned the 12th floor of the building into a mess! It then smashed heavily onto the 11th floor of the building.
The Cardinal immediately felt that something was wrong, because he had used all his strength to execute the "crucifix". Not to mention a mere floor, even the entire grand Morgan Center would have collapsed with a single blow. However, the impact only caused the building to tremble. Even the 11th floor showed no signs of collapsing.
Although the "crucifix" was a powerful move, it had a big weakness – it was not instantaneous. It required 1.5 seconds of chanting time. And the process of the crucifix smashing down required a few tenths of a second.
Two seconds of emergency time may be too short for ordinary people, but it would be very difficult to hit an agile contestant.
No matter how powerful it was, what was the use if it could not hit the target?
That was why the Cardinal did not use this move before. In his attack system, the enemy would usually be branded with the seven brands of sinners. If they did not die, they would be stunned for three seconds. This move, 'Crucifixion', would be used as a finishing move to ensure that it would hit the enemy with a certainty.
However, Sheyan's legs were broken and his hands were crippled. He could not run away even if he wanted to, so the Cardinal was not worried that he would run away.
The attack came crashing down with an earth-shattering roar. Although Sheyan felt that something was wrong, his two crippled hands struggled frantically. In the end, he managed to move his body a little. The crucifix smashed down on his chest and abdomen. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, but they were instantly burnt to ashes. Sheyan entered a state of near-death without making a sound.
Even after the invincibility period of the near-death state ended, the crucifix still came crashing down on Sheyan. With a loud crack, it crushed Sheyan's body below his neck. The holy flame burned him to ashes! Only the nightmare imprint on his chest was not affected in the slightest, as if it did not exist in this dimension!
All that was left of Sheyan was his head!!!
An ordinary person would have died a long time ago. Even Sheyan would not be able to survive such a fatal injury under normal circumstances, but he had a terrifying 140 points of Physique. With his strong HP, even if he only had his head left, it would not be a problem for him to survive for another five or six minutes.
Therefore, at this moment, Sheyan could still sneakily wink at the Cardinal. He even seized the opportunity to say something, pursed his lips and sent a flying kiss. An indescribable sense of anger suddenly surged in the Cardinal's heart. With a roar, a battle spear condensed from holy light appeared in his hand, which he hurled at Sheyan's head.
The battle spear of holy light pierced through the eleventh floor effortlessly. It did not stop there. It even pierced through the twelfth floor, the thirteenth floor, and the outer wall. In the end, it shot straight into the sky like a meteor!
Everything touched by the battle spear of holy light turned into ashes!
But the Cardinal clearly saw that the damned contestant's head disappeared into thin air the moment he threw the battle spear of holy light!!
The Cardinal recalled the words Sheyan had mouthed earlier. Although Sheyan could no longer make a sound at that time, after thinking for a moment, he understood that the words Sheyan had said before he left were: "My life is in my own hands, not in the hands of the heavens!"
The Cardinal's face turned ashen. This sentence was like a heavy slap to his face!
*****
Sitting on the roof of a building near the sea, he looked at the distant sea surging layer by layer. The waves rolled over and almost had an impulse to look at the roof here. Obviously, another storm was brewing on the sea.
Sheyan lay lazily on the deck chair on the roof. On the stool next to him was a can of Budweiser beer, half a bag of peanuts, and a few crispy prawns on a broken plate.
The wind blew his hair into a mess, but Sheyan couldn't care less about that. He slowly retracted his gaze from afar, then looked at his left hand, then stroked his neck. He couldn't help but say with lingering fear, "That's right.
"That damned holy flame.... the feeling of burning my skin and flesh is so f * cking painful!"
Sheyan's breathing became heavy when he thought of this. He could not help but pick up the beer next to him and gulp down a few mouthfuls. He did not even care that the beer foam overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
During the battle, Sheyan did not have any distractions. It could be said that he had done his best to hold on until the last moment. Now that he recalled the painful experience, he still felt a lingering fear. And even after he successfully returned to the nightmare realm, the Cardinal's holy flame still caused a lot of trouble for Sheyan! Why?
Because after returning to the nightmare realm, Sheyan only had less than 60,000 utility points left. He had returned with only his head left. Just repairing his body alone would require a terrifying 80,000 utility points. And this was the result of the 'Stairway of the Sun' shrinking its body and escaping into Sheyan's mouth when it sensed that something was wrong.
The price of extinguishing the holy flame in the realm was 50,000 utility points! How could Sheyan dare to directly extinguish the flame when it was already in such a terrible deficit?
He could only let it burn until it went out. The only good news was that contestants could receive a free and endless supply of life force when they returned to the realm. Therefore, no matter how much the holy flame burned, Sheyan's life was not in danger.
After tormenting Sheyan for half an hour, the sacred flame finally extinguished in resentment.
