Chapter 1753: Probe
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
War God Temple reacted quicker than expected.
Right after several noble’s wagons drove into the small square and told the priest on duty what happened, the furious priest immediately prayed to the God of War.
Faint glimmers appeared within the temple.
The statue representing the God of War was gathering the glimmers.
The statue of God of War wasn’t in the shape of a human, but weapons!
It was forged with many kinds of weapons intertwined together.
It had the most basic swords, spears, sabers, and halberts along with the rather complicated ones like tomahawks, axes, hooks, and forks. There were even chains and morningstar maces. The glimmers swirled around the glaring weapons.
Everyone in Sicar looked up to the sky.
The horses’ neighs, the chariots’ sprinting and the warriors’ cries all sounded from the sky.
Despite the various sounds, there weren’t any images of warriors riding chariots or horses, all the sky showed was a rumbling dark cloud.
The dark cloud came down from the sky and swirled on top of the glimmering War God Temple.
A while later... KAKROOOM!
Amid the thunderous clap, lightning bolts danced like malicious silver snakes.
The loud boom made the cowardly kneel on the ground and pray softly.
Those nobles who delivered the news to War God Temple crawled on the ground sincerely, at least on the outside.
Many other nobles who saw the scene had regret in their heart, asking themselves why they didn’t deliver the news to the temple themselves?
If they had been the ones who delivered the news, they would have been rewarded heavily after all this, right?
Perhaps they might even get promoted to knight!
The believers of the Mist Sect prayed as well.
Unlike the believers of the God of War, the believers of Mist prayed to their God to expel the God of War.
The Mist believers showed tenacity on their faces, not one of them looking afraid, their eyes shimmering in conviction and determination.
Then...
The mist rose!
A huge area of mist flooded out of the city and enshrouded the temple high up, including the rumbling thunder cloud.
Rage!
Killer intents!
The intense emotions gushed into Kieran’s mind as he held the [Lord of Mist] in his hand.
If it was possible, the opposite really wanted to rip Kieran into smithereens and Kieran knew it as well, so he did not hold back.
The charged up Devil Flame and fired upwards.
Kaboom!
When the lightning clashed with the flames, a tremendous explosion went off, as though a hundred thousand tons of explosives went off all at once. The whole of Sicar plunged into the heavy blast, everyone’s ears ringing, causing them to instinctively cover their ears.
Kieran, hiding in the mist, was quietly feeling the lightning from the dark cloud.
Its presence was filled with destruction and violence!
The charged up Devil Flame did not seize the upper hand this time. Quite the opposite, it fell into a disadvantage.
“VI!” Kieran was able to tell accurately after the little contact.
The lightning before his eyes had reached rank VI or was near it, which meant the God of War was at least rank VI, or higher, due to the fact that this was just one of his temples.
The prayers from the priest summoned only a projection of the God, it wasn’t even his clone, technically speaking.
From there, one could imagine what level the true form of the God of War was.
Though that would be his true form, what was before Kieran’s eyes was nothing but a projection.
Karoom! Karoom!
Three balls of Devil Flame circled around Kieran and were blasted into the sky at the very next moment.
Before the three balls of Devil Flame clashed with the thunderous dark cloud, three more balls of Devil Flame sprung up around Kieran.
It was like a reverse meteor rain, for within a breath’s time, a dozen balls of Devil Flame were fired into the dark cloud.
The force from the explosion caused the dark cloud to shake and Devil Flame, which had broken into waves of fire, strangely accumulated on the dark cloud, not only burning the lightning but the dark clouds that carried the bolts as well.
Roar!
The giant image of the devil appeared on top of the scorching flames.
It roared into the sky and was loud enough to overpower the thunder. Its twin horns almost pierced the heavens and its strong magma body neglected the lightning strikes, its blazing red eyes scanning over the fire and lightning, locating its target. It raised its robust arm, as thick as a pillar, and launched a punch.
Fuuuung!
It was like a class 10 hurricane wreaking havoc.
When the blazing fist stopped, a giant armored figure had a hole punch through its chest.
Crank!
The armored figure shattered like porcelain and the dark cloud scattered away.
The praying priest looked up with utmost disbelief.
The statue in front of his eyes was cracking, the cracks spreading really fast from the center, and within a breath’s time, the whole statue crumbled into pieces, followed by the whole hall.
Starting from the crumbled statue, the main building of the temple started to shake.
After the pillars were shaken, the whole hall collapsed.
The mist also slowly faded away after that.
The few nobles who crawled on the ground saw the scene with widened eyes.
The temple collapsed?!
They looked up blankly.
A mist giant appeared above them and was looking down on the entire city.
The ending was self-explanatory.
Anyone with a functioning brain knew the Mist won.
“Oh the supreme lord! Please hear our prayers, we will carry out your will, bow to your greatness and bear your name, you will shed your light on the world and everything we have is a gift from you...”
The Mist’s believers prayed louder and louder.
Many non-believers or less devoted ones saw the mist giant in the sky and heard the prayers in their ears. Unconsciously, they knelt down and prayed together too.
What is the true nature of humans?
When a phenomenon appeared and kept repeating itself, it would be the natural choice of humans.
Soon, the scattered prayers converged into blocks and then districts, growing into a city-wide action and even spreading outside the city. When the soldiers around the city gates heard the prayers and joined the others, there was only one voice left in the entire city: the praise towards the Mist, the lord and savior!
The city-wide praising made those who kept quiet a deviant, not fitting in with the crowd.
Those true believers of God of War stood there blankly, at a loss for action and nervous about what was going on, feeling uneasy, as though they were sitting on a needle mat.
They didn’t want to give up on their own beliefs, or rather... they dare not give up on the God of War!
The God of War wasn’t a God known for his generosity or tolerance.
During his prime, if anyone dared to offend him, the whole city of the offender would be slaughtered.
Although the appearance of Lady Calamity changed this particular point for the better, people were still scared.
As mortals, they did not dare take the risk, unable to bear the wrath of God.
More than 10 seconds later, a believer of the God of War ran out directly.
Right away, the true nature of humans was on display again. Those God of War believers who stood out among the praying crowd started to run away from the city in panic.
They wanted to leave right away!
Before the God of War punished them with his wrath and before the Mist discovered them!
Kieran, with the [Lord of Mist] in his hand, clearly saw the scene, but he didn’t care due to something more important appearing.
