Under the effect of the Oath Ring, Noyo's body separated into three . One body easily pa.s.sed through the Sacred Light Wall and charged at Link .

Link immediately felt a shred of unrest appearing in the Mana surging into him . The Magicians in the magic seal were disturbed, affecting their spells .

"Steady! Keep steady! Don't worry about me!" Link muttered . He used Dragon Power to heighten his voice . It wasn't loud but still traveled clearly to each Magician's ear .

On the other side, seeing the Sacred Light Wall lose effectiveness, an archbishop's expression suddenly grew solemn . He and the other 11 had been kneeling in a circle, praying around the pope's body . Now, he stood up and walked towards the magic seal alone .

The other cardinals didn't move, but they all sighed simultaneously as if knowing his choice .

The cardinal prayed as he walked .

"Brilliant Lord, I am willing to burn my soul and sacrifice my all in exchange for your light to protect these mortals . Halo of Sacrifice!"

Halo of Sacrifice

Divine Spell

Effect: The halo's range reaches 150 feet . Within the protection of the halo, all injuries of the targets are transferred to the spell-caster until the spell-caster dies . If the soul is used as the cost, the spellcaster's soul will be destroyed after the spell .

(Note: There must be something in this world that deserves you to sacrifice everything for!)

When the last word was uttered, the benevolent white-haired archbishop stopped . He clasped his hands before his chest, head lowered and body hunched over . Then, golden flames burst from his body . These flames formed a pair of golden wings on his back . They grew quickly until they enveloped the entire magic seal like a mother bird protecting its nest .

Rings of golden runes circled the Magicians inside the magic seal .

Noyo had just arrived beside a Magician . He stabbed at the man with his dagger . The golden runes flowed over, blocking the hit . Not convinced, Noyo stabbed harder . The dagger sunk in slowly but more and more runes appeared before the tip . The resistance grew as well .

I can break through it, but I don't have time! Noyo immediately gave up on this. .h.i.t and pulled his dagger back . Ignoring these regular Magicians, he ran towards Link .

At the same time, a wound slowly opened on the archbishop's body .

He still stood there, unmoving . His brows didn't even knit . Sacred power surged towards him, healing the fatal wound for him .

Noyo quickly arrived beside Link . His hand moved, and the dagger shot towards Link's back like lightning . He was still in a half-dimensional state .

He planned to turn solid the moment the dagger touched Link . At that time, he would be unstoppable .

That was what he planned, so that was what he did .

But then, there was a cling . His dagger was blocked by the sword in Link's hand . It happened the moment he turned solid!

Link didn't even move, but the body of his sword blocked the dagger perfectly . The dagger's tip was less than three millimeters from the back of his head!

That moment, Link activated the Dragon King's Fury magic sword . His strength multiplied tenfold, and he was five times faster . In two seconds, his physique was comparable to this demon a.s.sa.s.sin and might even be stronger .

Noyo ignored his shock . Demon power seeped from the dagger instinctively, and he continued attacking .

Golden runes flowed over—the Halo of Sacrifice . This flow of light once again blocked Noyo's demon power and saved Link's life . The next moment, Link's sword moved and forced Noyo's dagger aside .

I don't believe a Magician knows swordsmans.h.i.+p! Noyo and Link fought .

Link maintained the Soul Slalom while blocking Noyo's attacks .

Cling, clang, bang . There were various sounds and waves of power rippled . Shockwaves spread in all directions before being blocked by the Halo of Sacrifice again .

The Magicians in the magic seal were unharmed but more and more wounds appeared on the archbishop . There were too many for the sacred power to heal .

He still stood there, praying without moving . His body was covered in thousands of wounds, but he still didn't move .

In one second, Noyo stabbed Link 18 times . Other than the first move that was like a sneak attack, the other attacks were no threat to Link . His sword was like a seamless s.h.i.+eld that blocked all strikes .

"This is impossible!" Noyo didn't know how to describe his feeling . He wanted to go crazy . As an a.s.sa.s.sin, he was beaten by a Magician in martial arts . He'd never experienced anything like this in his 300 years alive!

"How is this possible?!" Kanorse ran over to help . Seeing this, he was shocked too .

He could tell that Link was using basic moves—each move was a basic technique . But these were somehow able to block all the a.s.sa.s.sin's attacks . He remembered that Link had just started learning swordsmans.h.i.+p half a month ago . How could he be at this level so quickly?

By then, Nana had already defeated one of Noyo's avatars . She rushed towards Link, ready to attack the demon from the back .

After half a second, Noyo realized that he couldn't defeat this d.a.m.ned Magician's sword with a simple dagger attack . The magic puppet was coming behind him too . He must use all his power!

Battle Skill: Thousand Apparition Attack!

Noyo's body suddenly turned into a cloud of black smoke . Hundreds of overlapping figures appeared in the smoke . They surrounded Link and each one stabbed at him . Noyo was too fast, and there were too many apparitions . It was impossible to distinguish real from fake!

But almost at the same time, there was a soft pop . A Spatial Sphere exploded beside Link .

Restraint!

There were no flaws in the defense of Noyo's battle skill . However, there was a momentary opening while attacking . This gave Link the time to mult.i.task and cast a spell .

Link's Spatial Sphere was at Level-8 by itself . With the magic sword's strengthening, its power was multiplied by seven . It reached the pinnacle of Level-8, almost at Level-9 . Under this powerful spell's restraint, Noyo slowed down .

His battle skill was an instantaneous burst of indistinguishable attacks . Now, Link stretched this "instantaneous burst" to half a second, making it ineffective!

Link must maintain the Soul Slalom . He couldn't investigate which was Noyo and which were apparitions, but he had half a second to try each one .

The magic sword sliced past the apparitions . Sizzles sounded in the air, and the apparitions popped like bubbles one by one .

At the 36th one, Link hit a solid object .

Clang! Link found Noyo's true body . There was only half a second left for the Dragon King's Fury magic sword . He used all his strength and stabbed .

Huh? Noyo broke free from the spatial restraint at the same time and saw Link's sword . Panicked, he raised his dagger to block it .

Clang! Link's sword had time to build up and power burst from it completely . Noyo had reacted hurriedly and couldn't block it . He was thrown backwards . The apparitions surrounding him disappeared .

Whoosh . Nana hurried over, wrapped in wind . She was right behind Noyo and reached forward with her dagger . With a squelch, Noyo was stabbed through .

"Oh, ah!" Noyo's cry of pain was short . Then he transformed into smoke and disappeared .

"Where'd he go?" Nana asked in confusion .

"Over there . He's hurt!" Link pointed towards the wall . After seeing Noyo split into three, he realized what gear the demon used . Now that the stabbed body disappeared like smoke, it confirmed Link's guess .

The Oath Ring was a sacred ring of a.s.sa.s.sins . Now, two of the three bodies were killed . If the last one was defeated, the a.s.sa.s.sin would be truly dead .

Without needing Link to speak further, Nana turned around and chased after the third body . Kanorse did the same .

At that moment, the archbishop couldn't hold on anymore . He paid his soul to block two attacks from Noyo, saving Link and another Magician . After that, he bore all the shockwaves from the battle for the Magicians in the magic seal . His body was battered now .

The light around him disappeared . With a soft whoosh, he dissolved into a pile of white sand and scattered on the ground .

Seeing this, Link sighed, his heart feeling heavy . "Thank you," he whispered .

Noyo was heavily injured too . His speed of escape was twice as slow . Nana quickly caught up with her extreme speed . Noyo was quite skilled in swordsmans.h.i.+p and could still block Nana even with his injuries . However, he was caught and couldn't escape promptly .

Kanorse caught up soon after . Two against one, Kanorse beheaded the demon after a few rounds!

At this time, the G.o.dly technique had already lasted for more than a minute . The deep blue whirlpool remained in the sky . Aymons' dark G.o.dly technique was ineffective .

During his final moments, he stared at the deep blue Soul Slalom and sighed . "Ah, the sacrifice of my soul was meaningless!"

As soon as he finished, the light on his body disappeared as well . His body caved in . The Divine Gear that had transformed into a giant snake now returned to a snake-headed whip .

The whip flickered between real and apparition then vanished with a pop!

The Dark Serpent had existed long enough in Firuman and was already about to be forced out . The dark G.o.dly technique was the straw that broke the camel's back .

After it disappeared, the dark vortex in the sky scattered . A beam of sacred light shone through again .

On the square, all Magicians were exhausted . They'd practically squeezed their bodies dry for Mana . After the G.o.dly technique disappeared, all the Magicians collapsed . Other than Link and Milda, the others fell unconscious .

Milda looked withered as well . Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her starry eyes were dull . She sat on the ground listlessly and looked blankly at Link . "Did we succeed?"

Link was in the best state, but he looked exhausted too . He still had 3000 Dragon Power points and was regenerating at 20 points per second . He nodded . "Yes, we succeeded . "

"Good, good . " Milda's eyes closed and she fell asleep on the ground .

In the Black Forest, the black-haired girl watched everything and sighed with knitted brows . "Ah, so boring . Not fun at all!"

However, even though all tactics to reduce loss had failed, the Dark Army still had a great advantage in the battle . The girl gathered her patience to continue watching .

The Light Army had won in the fight of the G.o.dly technique, but on the battlefield, they were in danger . The fight was burning white-hot . Hundreds of lives were lost every second .

Not even five seconds after the Soul Slalom disappeared, there was a giant boom . The outer wall of the Orida Fortress was 300 feet tall, 150 feet thick, and had been reinforced countless times . Now, a hole was created by the last One-eyed Mountain Demon .

It was killed immediately after but the wall was breached!

The Dark Army poured through the opening .
