Chapter 21: Praise Ella

Translator: Lonelytree

“Don’t be rash. Come back, Barker!” Joni shouted loudly.

Barker didn’t care, and he pounced forward with a ferocious expression.

“Praise Ella-[Holy Light Impact]!” Antioch spoke slowly and unleashed a second-circle divine spell.

A dazzling white light shone once again, and the corpse that was used as a shield in front of him was directly turned into a cloud of blood mist. The terrifying impact caused by the aftershock easily sent Barker flying.

Antioch raised his scepter and was about to continue casting spells to kill him, but at the critical moment, Pigeon opened her mouth again.

The sharp, ear-piercing scream was like the sound of death coming from hell. Antioch paused for a moment, but only for a moment.

[Flame Touch]

[White Phosphorus-Fireball]

Lin En and Joni, who had covered their ears in advance, took the opportunity to save the situation. They used their strongest spells. Two scorching flames surged toward Antioch at the same time, forcing the archbishop to stop his attack and switch to a defensive spell.

Third circle divine spell,[Holy Barrier]!

An invisible barrier was erected in front of Antioch, easily blocking the attack of the fire. However, the white phosphorous flame was attached to it, slowly but firmly corroding the surface of the invisible barrier.

Roar!

Barker, who had just fallen to the ground, stood up again. His eyes were bloodshot, and the characteristics of his beast form became more and more obvious.

At this moment, Barker was like a giant bear standing on its hind legs, charging straight into the burning sea of fire. The fur and robes on his body were quickly stained with white phosphorous flames.

The pain of being burned by thousands of degrees was enough to make a person collapse, but Barker did not care. The moment he used the magic transformation spell, the process of beast transformation was already irreversible. Moreover, if he wanted to break through the protective divine spell of Antioch, it was absolutely impossible to rely on his own strength!

“Joni, Carl, you guys go first. I want to stay and avenge Barton!” Barker roared as he slapped the [Holy Barrier] in front of him.

Ripples appeared on the invisible barrier, and with a simple divine spell, Antioch sent Barker flying.

“Let’s go!” Lin En looked deeply at Barker and said without hesitation. With his entire body covered in white phosphorous fire, there was no hope for him.

After sending Barker flying, Antioch stood in front of the only exit. After losing so many men, he naturally wouldn’t let Lin En and the others off so easily.

“Repent to the great Lord, devil’s believer…” Antioch raised his Bishop’s Scepter and chanted loudly.

“Praise Ella-[Holy Spirit Light]!”

Dazzling light waves spread out in a half-circle from the base of the scepter. It was impossible to block or dodge because the range of the divine spell covered more than half of the side hall!

However, Lin En was not a person who would be caught unprepared.

In fact, before he entered the side hall, he had already prepared an escape plan in case of danger!

Lin En, Pigeon, and Joni pressed their hands on the ground almost at the same time.

Zero-circle spell-[Elementary Material Deconstruction Spell!]]

The solid floor instantly cracked. The fine cracks spread like a spider web. Finally, they connected together. Before the terrifying white light arrived, the ground under their feet had already collapsed.

The [Holy Spirit Light] flew past the collapsed hole and hit the wall behind it. Explosions soon sounded in the manor.

After the dust and debris settled, Antioch looked at the collapsed hole in the side hall with an ugly expression.

“Roar!”

A hoarse roar came from beside him.

Because Barker was sent flying, he wasn’t within the range of the [Holy Spirit Light]. However, he no longer looked like a human. He had turned into a giant bear, and his skin was covered in white flames. White bones could be seen under the burnt flesh.

Even so, Barker still charged forward with his obsession for revenge.

Antioch frowned. He did not have time to waste on a dying student. He reached out his hand, and the collapsed sand and stones quickly piled up. Together with the broken armor on the ground, they formed two three-meter-tall giant stone statues.

This was the second-circle divine spell,[Summon Spirit World Guard].

After the two stone statues were assembled, they separated. One of the stone statues waved its fist and knocked over the giant bear Barker, while the other stone statue directly jumped into the hole in the ground.

..

“Fortunately, this place isn’t that high!”

With the falling rocks as a buffer, the three of them broke through the ground and reached the basement of the manor.

Lin En looked around. This place looked like an armory. There were many weapons and swords piled up on the surrounding shelves. In addition, there were many empty boxes, probably where the treasures were placed before, but it was obvious that the owner had taken them away when he escaped.

After confirming his surroundings, Lin En immediately turned his attention to his two companions.

Joni was still in good condition, but her mana consumption was severe. However, Pigeon was different. After using [Soul Scream] twice in a row, even though she was an extremely rare psionic, she could not even stand steadily.

“Joni, how far is it from here to the underground canal?” Lin En asked.

“Follow this road and walk straight. We’ll reach it in three minutes at most.” Joni reached out to help Pigeon up. She hesitated for a moment but soon made up her mind. “Next, we need to split up. You will go with Pigeon, and I’ll lure Antioch away…”

Joni knew very well that they couldn’t run faster than Antioch. If they continued like this, they would be caught sooner or later.

Even though she had consumed a lot of mana in the previous battle, she could still cast two more upper-level first-circle spells with the help of [Magic Hand], which could more or less buy them some time.

The silver-haired mage lowered her head. Her rosy lips were bleeding from her teeth. She had promised her mentor, Kru, that she would bring everyone back to the Land of Mages safely.

But now, Kent was dead, Will was dead, Barker and Barton had fallen in front of her, and there was nothing she could do.

“I’m afraid we’re a little late!” Lin En looked up.

In just a moment, a violent explosion sounded from above. Then, a three-meter-tall giant stone statue covered in armor fell from the hole above.

“Let’s go!” Lin En grabbed the arms of Joni and Pigeon and pulled them out of the ruin.

In order to save Barker earlier, he had been forced to use the white phosphorous power, and his mana had already been consumed by more than half.

He had no chance of winning against the archbishop!

The huge and heavy Spirit World Guard fell to the ground, and the entire ground seemed to tremble. Then, it stretched its stone arms and rushed toward the three of them.

Lin En’s expression was tense. Just as he was about to dodge, a notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Warning… Detected that the target of the agreement has committed serious illegal acts. Suspected of using chemical weapons to create large-scale killings. This action is extremely bad! The crime has been recorded. Before the federal police arrive, you will have a chance to make a statement online…]
