Chapter 165: Chapter 122: When It Comes to Attrition, He’s Never Feared Anyone (Part 2)
Ovijou suddenly realized that the high-intensity attack and defense had already consumed a large amount of Divine Grace.
Looking at Sunan again, he still appeared calm and unruffled.
“This guy… just how many trump cards does he have hidden?”
For the first time, a sense of foreboding emerged in Ovijou’s heart.
Seeing his demeanor, Sunan sneered in his heart.
He had a total of ten Rings of Extreme Protection on him, and had only used seven so far, leaving three.
Even if the Rings of Extreme Protection were exhausted, there was still the Demon Pattern Core.
In fact, if it weren’t for conserving Spiritual Power to use the Demon Pattern Core for defense, his attacks could have been even fiercer.
The Rings of Calamity were exhausted, but for this action, he had prepared an ample supply of High-level Rune Gemstones. There were still more than twenty in the Space Ring, enough to overwhelm Ovijou by sheer quantity.
In terms of consumption, he was never afraid of anyone!
With a flip of his wrist, three High-level Rune Gemstones appeared in Sunan’s hand and he threw them without a word.
In an instant, flames, thunder, and gales engulfed Ovijou!
Crack!
The Starry Sky Domain around them finally couldn’t hold on and shattered with a crash.
Sunan only felt a blur before his eyes, and in the next moment, he was already back under the night sky.
Looking at Ovijou again, he had already turned into a stream of starlight, rushing away into the distance.
The previous attack had consumed over four years of Ovijou’s Divine Grace and completely shattered his will to fight.
By this point, he had realized that he was no match for Sunan. Continuing to fight would mean death as soon as his Divine Grace was exhausted.
Seizing what little Divine Grace remained, he hurried to escape.
As long as he could return to the headquarters of the church in Junan City, there was still a chance for a comeback!
But unfortunately, his hope was destined to be in vain.
Before he could escape far, a scorching heat suddenly surged from the side.
Ovijou turned his head in horror to see a raging wave of flames tinged with the smell of sulfur!
Buzz!
Starlight erupted from Ovijou’s body, instantly extinguishing the flames, but in the next second, a beast that resembled both a dragon and a lizard lunged at him with its jaws and claws wide open. The man and beast struggled as they fell towards the ground like a meteor.
“Damn it!”
Ovijou was both shocked and furious, conjuring a Spear of Stars to thrust at the beast upon him. But just as he was about to act, the beast suddenly let go and retreated.
Ovijou was slightly stunned, a dreadful premonition rising in his heart, and sure enough, the next moment, a vast silver Metal Storm came sweeping down on him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Countless sharp spikes rained down on Ovijou like a torrential storm, making the starlight flicker uncertainly.
After holding on for two or three breaths, the starlight finally shattered, and countless sharp spikes pierced through Ovijou’s body in an instant.
The high priest of the Starfire Sect instantly turned into a figure covered in blood!
“Wa—”
He only had time to utter a single short syllable before he was torn into a mist of blood filling the sky.
The silver light suddenly extinguished, and silence fell once again under the night.
Sunan slowly descended to the ground, looked at Hidden Dragon, and seeing it was uninjured, he turned his attention to the items that had fallen on the ground.
A book and a star-shaped necklace.
Using the Mage’s Hand to collect the book and necklace, Sunan focused and sensed, nodding quietly to himself.
The Star Book contained at least four or five times the Divine Grace of the one he had acquired from Jensen earlier.
It made sense, after all, it was a Holy Artifact held by a high priest and its power far exceeded the previous one.
The star-shaped necklace contained slightly less Divine Grace, similar to the previous Star Book.
“The Divine Grace extracted from these two Holy Artifacts, combined with the previous amount, should be enough to synthesize completely untainted pure energy.”
Thinking that he could soon enhance his Spiritual Power, Sunan’s mood improved significantly.
The heartache from consuming over ten thousand Gold Coins’ worth of High-level Rune Gemstones in the battle also eased a lot.
Putting away the items, Sunan reapplied the Floating Skill and flew towards the direction of the manor.
…
Inside the manor, the battle was still ongoing.
Empowered by Starlight, the Starfire sect members were unleashing formidable combat power, and together with the soldiers arriving sporadically for support, they firmly suppressed the golem puppets.
On the other side, although Blake and Yoris couldn’t defeat the Tier Two Legend spider puppet, with the strength of the Holy Artifacts, they didn’t have to worry about defeat in the short term.
The situation was developing in a favorable direction.
But Marquis Hulan’s heart was still uneasy, unable to settle, as he frequently looked towards the direction where Sunan and Ovijou had left.
He knew very well that the outcome here was actually irrelevant; the real key lay in the victory or defeat between Sunan and Ovijou.
As long as Ovijou could eliminate Sunan, the golem puppets here would pose no threat.
But once Sunan won, everyone present would find it difficult to escape disaster tonight.
Seeing Marquis Hulan’s furrowed brows, Casper whispered, “Your Excellency Marquis, don’t worry. With the High Priest personally taking action, there’s definitely no problem!”
Casper’s tone was full of strong confidence.
Outsiders were unaware, but those in the mid to high levels of the Starfire Sect knew that High Priest Ovijou had received the favor of the Divine Spirit, a strong being capable of using Divine Power!
Even a Wizard could not be a match for the High Priest, who was a favored one of the Divine Spirit!
From the moment Sunan chose to appear instead of leaving immediately, his fate was actually sealed.
“As long as Sunan is dealt with, the Flashing Territory will be of no concern. Once the rebels are suppressed, the sect’s grand plan for preaching in the Starry Sky Domain will encounter no more obstacles, and the sect will usher in prosperity.”
Casper mused silently, a faint smile involuntarily rising at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, a sudden exclamation rang in his ears.
“Someone’s coming!”
Everyone looked up immediately and indeed saw a silhouette flying towards them from afar.
As the distance closed, they gradually made out the features of the approaching person.
Upon seeing that young face, everyone stared wide-eyed in horror.
Casper was even paler, exclaiming in shock:
“Impossible! How can it be Sunan?!”
“How could the High Priest lose?!”
Marquis Hulan no longer cared about Casper’s loss of composure. From the moment Sunan appeared in view, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his limbs turning cold.
Even Ovijou had lost; no one in the entire Hulan Province could stop Sunan now.
They were finished!
A strong sense of regret filled his mind instantly, and Marquis Hulan felt deep remorse.
If only he had known earlier how unreliable the Starfire Sect was, he shouldn’t have hastily chosen sides back then.
Even if it meant defying the orders of the Duke and subsequently facing reprimand, losing part of his territory would not be as bad as now, losing everything including his life.
He regretted it immensely!
Seeing the pale-faced Casper beside him, a surge of anger suddenly flooded Marquis Hulan’s heart. He swiftly drew the longsword from his waist and plunged it into Casper’s chest.
Casper was plunged into despair, not expecting Marquis Hulan’s sudden attack. Caught off guard, he was fatally stabbed, gazing at Marquis Hulan with disbelief and rage in his eyes.
“You, you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Marquis Hulan withdrew his longsword and with a backhand stroke, severed Casper’s head.
Sunan, who had landed on the ground and witnessed this scene, revealed an intrigued expression.
So, they’ve already turned against each other?
Clang!
Marquis Hulan tossed away his weapon and forced a smile as he spoke to Sunan, “Lord Sunan, there’s really no need for us to end up in this situation. After all, we held no grudge against each other, right? It was all the doing of the Starfire Sect. I can abandon the darkness for the light and offer the Hulan Province with both hands, just asking you to spare me and my family!”
Sunan looked at Marquis Hulan deeply, then suddenly smiled slightly.
Seeing this, Marquis Hulan felt a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking Sunan agreed with his proposal. But in the next second, a bolt of lightning pierced through his forehead.
“By destroying you and your family, the Hulan Province is still ours, and even cleaner.”
With Marquis Hulan’s face full of confusion and unwillingness, Sunan stated calmly.
Then, without even glancing at the fallen corpse, he turned his gaze towards Joris and Blake who were fleeing into the distance.
Since Sunan’s appearance, these two High Priests of the Starfire Sect immediately abandoned the congregation and fled.
Unfortunately, Sunan had already prepared for this.
They didn’t get very far before being intercepted by Hidden Dragon.
The Dual-bladed Spider quickly followed.
The outcome between two Tier Two Legends and two Tier One Legends required no elaboration.
Sunan retracted his gaze and began clearing the battlefield.
The night grew increasingly deep and tranquil.
A moment later, Sunan walked out of the lord’s mansion unhurriedly, took a glance at the restored silence behind him in the darkness, and soared into the sky, soon disappearing into the night.
