Chapter 16
1vs1 Deathmatch
"It's good to be rich."
Xia Er chuckled and drank the holy water of the sun in the bottle in one gulp.
Bennet Maynard's maternal grandfather was a bigwig in the New Party and owned many properties in the Kingdom of Intis. Through this connection, Bennet also knew some low-ranking extraordinary beings from the Church of the Eternal Sun who were active in Backlund.
For an extra fee, even at night, one could get a Solar Path Extraordinary person out of bed to provide the services they need.
"Arods, which of the five routes do you think is the best for me to take?"
He tossed the empty bottle aside and looked in the bedroom mirror, asking a question.
The mirror surface shimmered with silver light, and a strange yet beautiful rose bloomed within it.
"Befriend distant states while attacking nearby ones."
"Then let's pray to someone secretly."
Xia Er nodded; he was also thinking of going through the Hanged Man route first.
Although the true Creator is mad, His influence on the outside world is actually less in the land of the Forsaken God.
"Well then, goodnight, Arodes."
He waved and smiled at the mirror.
In the mirror, the "black-haired elf" also waved to Shael, the silver ripples transforming into a line of elven language:
Goodnight, Chael.
......
Two thousand five hundred years ago.
An era of strife.
The elven saint, who had originally planned to continue slacking off, suddenly developed a tiny bit of ambition.
"Is this a bug?"
"Never mind, it's not important."
"Arodes, help me find something. Its name should be 'The Travels of Grosser.' If I find it, I'll be close to becoming an angel."
Chael revised his plans.
He abandoned his plan to wait until the situation became more chaotic and stable before seizing the opportunity for promotion.
Since I am part of the future, why should I fear dying in the past?
"It's time for me to show my fangs a little."
He put down his fishing rod, transformed into a bolt of lightning, and arrived at the junction of the two seas, the point where two spiritual forces were locked in a tug-of-war.
"The other saints of the Storm Church are vying for faith with other churches in the Northern Continent. You've been fighting against me here all this time, isn't it just so you can show your bravery to the Lord of Storms by defeating the elves, hoping to gain His favor and become a future angel, the future Pope of the Storm Church?"
"Come out, if you're a man, fight me one-on-one."
With a downward stomp, a massive column of water surged towards the sea ahead.
A howling tornado shattered the towering water column, and torrential rain poured down. Large swaths of dark clouds began to spread, and a middle-aged man with a beard looked down at Xia'er and said:
"Elf, submit to my lord, it is your greatest honor."
In the saint's view, he had been constantly testing and absorbing the sea area controlled by the other party through his mental power. After such a long time, the elf did not dare to fight back. Now it was forced into a desperate situation and was trying to save face by defeating him. He then took the opportunity to switch sides.
"Are you here to fight, or to talk back?"
Shael couldn't be bothered to watch this guy's show. Who said Stormpath was brainless? This guy was practically tattooing Leodorus all over his body!
"How dare you!"
The Storm Church's "Sea King" is enraged!
Is this disrespecting him?
He had originally planned to go easy on the elf and recruit it as his second-in-command.
very good.
When he becomes the Storm Pope in the future, he will make sure that all these ungrateful elves disappear!
Countless bolts of lightning struck from the sky, engulfing hundreds of meters around Xia'er in a destructive range, giving him no chance to dodge. This skillful start indicated that he was a martial arts master who could not tolerate the slightest provocation.
You started this.
Xia Er smiled, and the sky full of silvery lightning made his smile even more dazzling.
The sea surged and churned, as if it too was anticipating a fierce battle.
The terrifying sonic boom and thunder lasted for a long time, and the powerful impact spread from the seabed to the sky. Countless sea creatures that could not escape in time were torn to dust. When the disaster finally ended, the weather in one of the sea areas became chaotic without warning, and the giant's unwilling roar spread far and wide.
Shael wiped the blood from his face. A monster's corpse with wide-open eyes was embedded in the lightning spear in his hand. This was the irreversible manifestation of a creature that had entered the form of a mythical being and died in a state of loss of control.
He swallowed the extracted Neptune properties in one gulp, then threw the corpse back into the distant sea.
Even a Saint with a simple set of Storm Path Sequence 9 to Sequence 3 stacks would dare to fight him to the death.
idiot!
Xia Er withdrew the spiritual plague he had spread, and returned to his fishing spot through the raging wind. He picked up the fishing rod that had been lying to the side, his tattered robe was washed by the damp sea breeze, and his still bleeding wounds were covered with a layer of phantom scales. His hair had become thicker and thicker, and his originally pure black hair color was mixed with some blue.
He also activated his mythical creature form during the battle, but he could hypnotize himself beforehand. He activated an incomplete mythical creature form, and as long as it didn't exceed a certain time, he could close it. That pure sea king wasn't so lucky.
Now, having consumed another portion of the Sea King's extraordinary ability, this common mutation, which combines with the Storm ability, has begun to appear.
After killing the Sea King who frequently caused trouble, the elves were in a better mood.
The faith on the Sea of Sunia was able to support the angels and saints of the spirits.
Chael gazed at the sea before her, lost in thought, and a melancholy song began to play.
He did not struggle, letting the song carry him into a dream.
"You did a good job this time."
"That idiot is trying to use us to curry favor with Leodorus. Doesn't he even consider why the other 'Sea Kings' only dare to spread their faith in the Northern Continent?"
"Queen Elf" Goshinam appeared and praised her.
She wore an elaborate long dress, her eyes were deep and her features were exquisite. Although she didn't try to hide it, the majesty of a person in a superior position was undeniable.
This is a characteristic of the storm pathway, which is naturally more sensitive to those in positions of power.
"He's not stupid. He's afraid of you too, afraid of pushing the elf too far, so he's been slowly testing our limits."
"He has the Lord of Storms and the Church of Storms behind him. He can slowly squeeze our living space and force us to retreat to more and more remote sea areas. It would be even better if we were injured in the battle, as that would be meritorious for his future promotion in the Church of Storms."
"He just didn't expect that I could actually kill him, that I really dared to kill him."
Xia Er lowered her eyes slightly, intentionally concealing the lingering madness and brutality in them.
His mental state was only relatively good; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to fish so much to keep his composure.
The benefits and drawbacks of consuming more of these foods are both quite obvious.
