BXBX NOVEL Chapter 529: Arrival
Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Arrival
Without surprise, it was the Death God\'s Sword that Lillis secretly snatched from the special forces of the Faguo country during everyone\'s meeting.
"Are you planning to use Blood Feather Art to fly off the island with a divine artifact? Even though the Vanzhou tribe is one of the noble bloodlines among the thirteen blood tribes, they can\'t escape the disgraceful acts of thievery," Kruyff sarcastically remarked.
Due to the small wound on her back from the Holy Light, Lillis landed on the roof, clutching the black box, and cursed loudly at the clergy below, "It\'s been over a dozen centuries, and all you can do is talk nonsense! Are you all pigs?!"
While she cursed, Lillis didn\'t flee. She knew that since she had been discovered, escape was impossible, and she could only recover from her injury as quickly as possible and prepare for a frontal confrontation.
Sargeras, however, wasn\'t particularly upset. He stood up calmly and smiled, "From the beginning, I never planned to succeed by such means. Otherwise, I wouldn\'t have brought Lillis here alone. If one of the two didn\'t appear, it would have been too easy to be exposed. So, little girl, don\'t think too highly of yourself."
"I\'m also curious. Does Prince Sargeras really have such confidence in his own strength that he only needs to bring one elder and a daughter to take away a divine artifact?" Kruyff mocked.
Sargeras gave a strange smile, "Unless someone intervenes, I don\'t see any problems."
As he spoke, Sargeras subtly glanced at the seats behind him, but the person hinted at shamelessly pretended not to know anything.
"Hmph, Sargeras, you underestimate us too much," a middle-aged, tall man who had been accompanying Kruyff stepped forward and said, "Bishop Kruyff has surpassed his predecessor. Today, you and your daughter will find it difficult to escape!"
Yang Chen, sitting behind, blinked. He had seen the big man before, Gabriel, the commander of the Crusaders who had led his team to the Mediterranean to fight for the Holy Grail. This guy had some strength, though he had struggled against Lillis in the past.
With Kruyff, a cardinal in red, providing support, Lillis would be directly held back by Gabriel.
Seeing Yang Chen had not moved, Soren and the members of the Sea Eagle and Zero remained firmly in their seats. Without Yang Chen\'s orders, they had no interest in getting involved.
On the other hand, Yun Miao Shi Tai was more direct, simply moving to a new position next to Yang Chen, not wanting to pay attention to anyone. At this moment, Fudessa and the rest of the Faguo Security Bureau were at a loss for what to do, and they were all confused by Kruyff\'s "Holy Light."
What is this holy light? Why does it look like a laser cannon? It can turn concrete and specially mixed metals into dust. What would happen if a person were even grazed by it? I fear that even an aircraft carrier would be penetrated instantly!
Although Fordesa and the others have impressive special forces combat skills, when faced with battles beyond human capabilities, they can only watch silently. Even though they are the hosts, they feel extremely frustrated.
The other attendees, such as those from Takamagahara and Stonehenge, were ready to join the fight at any moment but didn\'t rush to take any action. The millennium-old feud between the Church and the Dark Council was bound to lead to a fierce battle. They were willing to wait for both sides to be weakened before reaping the benefits.
However, some other agents from various organizations, who lacked foresight, started to act cunningly. A few agents from the Nordic countries, unable to find anyone in the passage, returned outside and saw that the Church and the Dark Council were on the verge of confrontation, while Lilith was alone on the rooftop holding a black long box. Their eyes immediately turned red with greed. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn\'t have the guts, but the allure of the artifact drove them to madness.
"Bishop Cruyff, you deal with the vampire prince, and we\'ll take care of that female vampire!"
These agents, who had long fought in the snowfields and were first-rate fighters, were not inferior to the Sea Hawks. With a simple leap, they were already on the rooftop, several feet high!
A trace of malice flashed in Lilith\'s eyes, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Idiots."
With a silent chant, Lilith, crouching, suddenly drew a moonlit butcher knife from her back. Before the agents could launch their attack, a blood-red blade swung horizontally!
"Swish!"
After a crisp slicing sound, blood splattered, and three Nordic agents who tried to surround her were instantly cut in half!
"Even if I\'m slightly injured, you don\'t deserve to come near me," Lilith snorted coldly and looked down at Sargeras. "Father, are you still fighting? My wounds have healed. I\'m eager to see what kind of sword is inside."
Some organization members who initially intended to compete for the Death God Sword gasped. They had never truly fought against vampires and didn\'t expect them to be so formidable. In a blink of an eye, seventy percent of those present gave up on vying for the sword. They didn\'t want to make a pointless sacrifice.
Yang Chen, at the back, carefully observed the black box in Lilith\'s hands and then focused on his surroundings.
"Hades, is there really an artifact in that box?" Soren asked curiously, as they couldn\'t judge the authenticity of the artifact.
Yang Chen nodded. "I can sense a faint divine power. It\'s indeed divine power, and it\'s a kind of somber divine power. Even if it\'s not Thanatos\' Death God Sword, it\'s definitely another artifact. The Holy Grail I encountered in Zhonghai had a kind of bright divine power. This item is on a similar level."
"I heard the Holy Grail and the God Stone were both taken by mysterious gods. Could it happen again this time?" Soren asked worriedly.
Yang Chen sighed. "All I can do is keep a close watch. Whether it appears and whether I can stop it, I don\'t know."
Yang Chen wasn\'t being modest. He had a feeling that the one who instantly seized the Holy Grail and the God Stone was slightly stronger than him. Moreover, if the opponent didn\'t reveal themselves, there was no way Yang Chen could detect them.
At this moment, the people from the Church finally made their move!
"Holy Light Armor!"
With a wave of his red sleeves, two pure white beams of light fell on Gabriel, making a luminous armor faintly appear around him.
"Gabriel, take care of that elder vampire," commanded Cruyff calmly.
Gabriel knelt on one knee in a knightly salute and loudly responded, "Yes, Bishop!"
With that, Gabriel\'s body shot up like a white arc of light. Drawing out his rust-covered greatsword, surrounded by a platinum halo, he fiercely swung it at Lilith on the rooftop!
Lilith\'s expression turned serious. Not daring to take the attack head-on, she dodged swiftly.
"Bang!"
The greatsword struck down, scattering rubble and metal, opening a hole several meters wide in the rooftop. Cracks spread across the roof, showcasing the immense power!
Yang Chen, observing this, was slightly surprised. Gabriel\'s speed and strength had doubled since the last time he saw him. It seemed that the high-ranking red-robed bishops of the Church indeed possessed immeasurable value, transforming a warrior with just one blessing spell.
Seeing his daughter entangled with Gabriel, holding the black box and wielding the butcher knife with one hand, Sargeras felt tense and frowned.
"Prince, your opponent is us," Cruyff said with a grim expression.
At the same time, two young blond men who had been silently standing behind Cruyff moved to encircle Sargeras from both sides. Although their eyes were fixed on Sargeras, they appeared utterly hollow, as if they had no souls.
Sargeras sneered, "No wonder you only brought three people. Besides a crusade leader, the other two are \'Holy Bodies\'."
"You should be afraid because this is beyond your imagination," Cruyff intoned.
"You think I\'ve never encountered your Church\'s \'Holy Bodies\'? It\'s not unfamiliar to me," Sargeras replied, as a dense black aura began to rise around him, moving like a living thing.
"Demon Flame," Cruyff\'s eyes flashed with surprise. "The legendary \'Demon Flame,\' said to be several times more powerful than the high-level vampire technique \'Blood Flame\'. As expected of a third-generation vampire, closest to divinity, even mastering the mythical blood technique."
"Kid, at least you know what you\'re seeing."
The black, flame-like energy clung to Sargeras\' body, burning without any heat. Many spectators instinctively retreated because the eerie energy emitted a hellish aura that made them involuntarily fear!
Sitting next to Yang Chen, Master Yun Miao couldn\'t hold back her curiosity and asked, "Why do those two young men from the Church look like the dead? What are \'Holy Bodies\'?"
Yang Chen, while watching the aerial battle between Gabriel and Lilith, explained, "As far as I know, the \'Holy Body\' of the Church refers to the bodies of human followers whose souls are absolutely pure and without any evil thoughts. If such a person is strong enough, they can undergo a \'Divine Descension\' where an angel temporarily possesses their body."
"Divine Descension?" Master Yun Miao was taken aback. "Could it be...?"
Yang Chen nodded. "That\'s right. Although the exact nature of angels is unknown, they can indeed temporarily possess a Holy Body, granting it the combat power of an angel. Angels aren\'t gods, but they do use divine power. I\'ve only heard about it and haven\'t seen it in person. The strength of the angel that descends depends on the purity of the soul. If it\'s less than a four-winged angel, which is considered a mid-level angel, it poses no threat to a primordial dark creature like Sargeras."
As Yang Chen explained, a brilliant white meteor shower began to fall around Cruyff and the two Holy Bodies, filling the venue with dazzling white light. Everyone was mesmerized by the sacred aura emanating from the Church\'s triangular formation.
"Hmph, here they come." Enveloped in dark demonic flames, Sargeras felt uneasy but didn\'t act recklessly. He knew that during the Divine Descension, the light power was at its peak. Acting rashly would slow his movements and make him an easy target.
Sargeras believed that even if two four-winged angels and Cruyff appeared, he could still defeat them with some effort. However, in the next second, Sargeras\' heart suddenly trembled!
The bodies of the two young blond men began to float in mid-air, and two golden beams descended from the sky, coating them in a golden aura. To everyone\'s astonishment, white light clusters appeared behind them, which then slowly and elegantly unfurled like transparent, giant petals—revealing six wings each!
"Six... six wings?" Sargeras murmured involuntarily. Even someone like Sargeras, who had lived for millennia, was momentarily taken aback by the sight of two six-winged angels.
Lilith, who had been battling Gabriel, was startled by the scene below, causing her to momentarily lose focus. Gabriel seized the opportunity and slashed her back, leaving a gash.
The dramatic turn of events prompted Yang Chen to whistle and laugh. "Looks like Sargeras is in for a tough fight. Even if six wings aren\'t the highest seraphim level, dominions or cherubim are not to be underestimated. Sargeras must have never expected the Church to summon six-winged angels."
While Yang Chen wore a schadenfreude expression, Master Yun Miao, Soren, and others were drenched in cold sweat.
