Chapter 93
Sweeping Away the Black Vatican
Seeing the Digimon bursting in from three different directions, the blue-robed butler and the black-robed priest felt a sudden panic. Then they heard a low shout coming from the doorway, and a sense of despair instantly washed over them. They had been silently surrounded by the Inquisition.
That damned good-for-nothing actually fell into a trap and brought the Inquisition people with him, but why didn't the Vatican notice the movement of the Inquisition personnel at all?
The blue-robed deacon glared venomously at the black-robed priest, feeling frustrated, before finally turning away unwillingly, ready to fight to the bitter end.
But when he saw the figure at the door, he subconsciously blinked, a sense of relief flashing through his mind.
Instead of the members of the trial council he had imagined, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared at the doorway.
The blue-robed deacon's entire demeanor changed instantly. His panicked expression vanished, replaced by a haughty air as he looked down at Lin Chen and Lingling, saying, "I thought it was one of the presiding or deputy presiding judges from the Inquisition, but it's just two ignorant brats?"
"But thanks to you all, I've realized this place is no longer safe. When I send you on your way, I'll make sure you have a smooth journey."
"Lingling, this guy is like a chameleon, isn't he? When we first appeared, he was clearly frightened and looked panicked. But as soon as he turned around, he was calm and collected as if nothing had happened, and even seemed to have the victory in his grasp," Lin Chen said.
"No, he simply doesn't like you. It's a pity he's overthinking things," Lingling replied.
Lin Chen and Lingling's conversation was completely undisguised, allowing the blue-robed steward to hear everything clearly. This caused a hint of embarrassment to flash across the steward's face, which slowly turned into anger.
However, the blue-robed deacon quickly adjusted his mindset, a cold smile appearing on his lips, and said, "I know that you young people all have the idea that you want to be heroes, but to be a hero you need the corresponding strength, otherwise there is only one outcome, which is death."
"If you had come with the Inquisition, you could have been little heroes who helped the Inquisition destroy the Vatican. It's a pity you went alone..." The blue-robed deacon shrugged, showing a look of regret for Lin Chen and his companion.
Lin Chen smiled slightly, pointed to the three Digimon surrounding the blue-robed deacon and the black-robed priest, and said, "Being a hero does indeed require skill, and I happen to have that skill."
"Hahaha! Just as I thought, he's still a student who hasn't graduated, and hasn't experienced the harsh realities of society." The blue-robed deacon suddenly burst into laughter. "Three warrior-level summoned beasts, their natural talent is quite impressive, they certainly give them an edge over their peers, but this isn't a school, and I'm not a teacher here. I'm the Black Vatican!"
"Now I will give you the most important lesson of your lives, and also the last lesson. It's a pity that you are going to die at such a young age, especially you little loli. You probably haven't even awakened your magic yet..." After the blue-robed butler finished speaking, he snapped his fingers and summoned six cursed beasts.
Seeing this, the black-robed priest also quickly summoned his own cursed beast.
"Eight against four, the advantage is in our hands!" The blue-robed deacon turned to the black-robed priest and ordered, "Quickly finish him off. I'm leaving now. Leave the rest to me."
After the blue-robed butler finished speaking, he turned around again and walked towards the back door, but he was stopped by Tyrannosaurus after only taking two steps.
"You want to leave? Did you get my permission?" Lin Chen said in a low voice, "I've said it before, I have the ability to be a hero."
"Kill them!" Lin Chen issued the battle order.
The three Digimon immediately pushed their way forward, with Greymon even targeting the blue-clad butler.
"You think a mere warrior-level summoned beast can oppose me? Do you really think I, the blue-robed steward, am a pushover?" The blue-robed steward roared, and a cyan star trail appeared. His figure instantly disappeared from in front of the Tyrannosaurus Beast and reappeared behind it in the blink of an eye.
Just as the blue-robed butler was about to unleash an attack spell on the Tyrannomon, the Tyrannomon keenly sensed someone behind it. Without turning its head, it swung its tail forcefully at the blue-robed butler.
"Water Control - Circulation!"
Seeing this, the blue-robed deacon immediately abandoned his attack magic and instead cast a water shield on himself. However, under the powerful blow of the Tyrannosaurus Beast, the shield on the blue-robed deacon was shattered, and his entire body was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.
The blue-clad butler slowly rose from the ground, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, an expression of disbelief on his face.
Keep in mind that he was a high-level mage, and the water-based shield he had cast was already very strong. However, after the attack of the warrior-level dragon-type summoned beast shattered the shield and then collided with him, it still caused him such a serious injury.
"Looks like I underestimated you. The process may be a bit more complicated, but the outcome will remain the same. It's just that I'm not going to let you die so easily."
The blue-clad butler unleashed wind magic once more, moving swiftly through the villa, and for a moment, the Tyrannosaurus Rex couldn't keep up.
With a whoosh, the blue-clad butler leaped over the chaotic battle zone within the villa and charged directly towards Lin Chen.
He's still a student after all, with far too little experience. To deal with me, a dangerous high-ranking mage from the Black Church, he actually sent out all his summoned beasts. Did he think he could handle me alone?
As he drew closer to Lin Chen and Lingling, the blue-robed deacon began to control the star, preparing to unleash a mid-level spell on it to finish off Lin Chen in one move and send all the summoned beasts back to the dimensional plane.
But as he got closer to Lin Chen and his companion, he noticed that they showed no signs of panic. Instead, a faint smile appeared on their lips.
Just as the blue-robed deacon was completely bewildered, a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart. He once again abandoned the release of mid-level attack magic, instead casting a shield around himself and activating his armor magic tool.
The next second, the blue-robed deacon sensed a strong magical fluctuation around Lin Chen. Immediately afterward, a dazzling star map took shape, and a huge flame carrying intense heat suddenly appeared between Lin Chen and the blue-robed deacon, fiercely attacking the deacon.
The blue-robed deacon instinctively pushed off the ground with both legs to dodge to the side, but the flames still grazed past him and hit his body, instantly evaporating the water shield surrounding him. If he hadn't already activated his armor, he might have been instantly killed by Lin Chen in this attack.
As the flames subsided, the blue-robed deacon reappeared, though he had suffered numerous burns all over his body, even under the protection of his armor.
Meanwhile, Garurumon and Guilmon had already killed the seven cursed beasts, and the black-clad priest was also severely injured by Guilmon's attack, lying on the ground unable to move.
"It seems you're not only unqualified to teach me, but you're the one who's going to get taught a lesson."
