Chapter 478 - Clarion Call: Part 2

nChanting the holy hymn required extremely strong mental state, only through that way one could maintain their will under the constant erosion of the holy power.

nAnyone with a weaker will would be overwhelmed by holy power, and be reduced to a lunatic where nothing mattered.

n“No worries. Your wife will forgive you.” An old man gently said. “Perhaps death is not a bad thing for her, at least she will be released from the suffering of her mortal coil.”

n“F*ck you!” If it is that easy, why don’t you die first yourself?!” The burly man was furious.

n*Shink!*

nThe chanter said nothing, and simply pulled a short knife out and stabbed it into his heart.

nA large amount of blood gushed out from the wound on his chest, yet he smiled at the burly man without a change in his expression.

n*Dupp!!*

nThe chanter felt on the ground and died on the spot.

nStrangely enough, his blood was purified by the force field, and there was no smell of blood. Instead, it pooled on the ground before disappearing into thin air.

n“You… You… are insane!!” The man in sunglasses was instantly shocked.

nSoon, the purification field once again swept past him.

nHis horrified expression quickly calmed down and a smile even appeared as he looked at the corpse on the ground.

n“F*ck me… where the hell am I?” Xie Qiaoyue struggled to pull herself back from the edge of insanity, and upon seeing the scene, she felt goosebumps all over here.

nShe had not felt such fear while she was within the Death’s Illusion.

nAdolf was telling Lin Sheng had he had been through, as they heard the sound of the chanter falling on the ground. Lin Sheng glanced over and did not react.

nThe chanters were all patients with mental problems, and nothing they did should surprise anyone.

nHim placing them here, was just for them to chant the holy hymn.

n“Let’s go out first. You’ll be purified into an idiot if you stay here for too long.” Lin Sheng said plainly.

nHe did not care about the rest, but Adolf could not be affected by that.

n“Yes, master.” Adolf followed Lin Sheng out of the prayer hall.

nThe rest of them hurried behind and did not dare to stray too far away.

nOutside the prayer wall was a small square engraved with all sorts of sacred symbols.

nAt the center of the square was a statue of a heavy night in white armor, and behind the statue was a white halo symbolizing the endless light.

n“This is the Benediction Plaza, the purification field of the Holy Crystal is relatively diluted here and is not as overwhelming.

nNow Adolf, tell me, your sudden departure back then, was it instigated by someone?”

nLin Sheng had previously received information that someone from the Astral Mere was mucking about.

nBut as he did not have any concrete evidence they were involved, he did not take any drastic action.

nNow that Adolf was before him, he naturally had to get to the bottom of this.

n“Yes, he was an old man who claimed he was the Great Sage of the Astral Mere. He had suddenly contacted me and convinced me to fight for humanity. He wanted me to go near to the entrance of the Heaven’s Spire, and gather with everyone.”

nAdolf sat down with Lin Sheng and explained in a low voice.

n“Very well, I shall pay the Astral Mere a visit once this is over. But now, you need to decide. Your body had already been destroyed by Faldt, so either you maintain your current form as a spirit, or enter the Holy Crystal Font, and I will use my special powers to resurrect you.” Lin Sheng gave him a choice.

n“I choose the second one,” Adolf said quickly.

n“Very well.” Lin Sheng nodded, he then looked at the others who had escaped.

n“All of you may leave.”

nXie Qiaoyue and the rest looked at each other and simply stood there.

nIf they had not known they could be resurrected, they probably would have left immediately, but now everyone knew that Lin Sheng could resurrect them.

nAll of them who did not want to just die like that of course harbored some hope.

n“Forget about it. First I would not spend a large amount of power to resurrect you lot. Next, all of you cannot withstand the power of the Holy Crystal Pool, and will be purified into idiots during the resurrection process.” Lin Sheng quipped.

n“Lastly, I have no relation with all of you, so what reason do I have to resurrect you lot?” After saying that, Lin Sheng arranged for the clerics in the Holy Sanctum to bring Adolf to rest, and ignored the five other souls.

nThere were so many other souls in this world that had nowhere to go, and adding another five to them did not matter.

nJust as Lin Sheng was actively preparing for the resurrection ritual for Adolf, the news of Olro’s Hellfire being declared destroyed was quickly spread to all surviving Hidden Realms big or small.

nFaldt’s servants conducted slaughter within the Hellfire Hidden Realm for a full day and night, and the once prosperous and powerful Hidden Realm town was finally reduced into a graveyard.

nMany of the Darksiders who had thought Faldt had disappeared were outraged and panicked. They had never thought that Hellfire would fall so easily.

nOne needed to know that even the Heaven’s Spire resisted for at least several days. And the one panicking the most from Hellfire’s destruction was Carta Blanche.

nThat night, all of the top-level Palatinates gathered to discuss as they tried to figure out a way to salvage the situation.

nBased on the traces of intel and information that they got, they had realized they had vastly underestimated Faldt’s powers again.

nThat was a particularly uncomfortable moment for Carta Blanche who had already completed their various preparations.

nAs for the peril the Three Great Hidden Realms were facing, Lin Sheng had little care for it.

nThe only thing he did, was to call the Principal of Baine University, Wasp Lord Shawnslocka to return to the school

nBut that request was naturally rejected by the Wasp Lord.

nHe intended to remain with Suncrown, and fight or perish with Carta Blanche.

nAnd time passed slowly.

nEveryone was quiet once again.

nBut amidst the calm, everyone was anxious as to when the attack against Carta Blanche would happen.

nEveryone was hoping for the last hope, Carta Blanche to come up with a relatively better answer.

nAt that moment, however, Lin Sheng was preparing to resurrect his disciple and to prepare for the summoning ritual of the Underworld Netherblade and Courtier.

n…

nAt the last Darkspirit Realm.

nA silver magic circle hung above the stack as it slowly absorbed the surging white flame pillars within a hundred square meters of it.

nA large number of frozen flames were converted by the conversion matrix of the Fairy Kingdom warlocks into relatively low-temperature energy.

nWhile the energy conversion loss was high, this low-temperature energy could be used again for further conversions.

nLin Sheng rode on Gorefiend, and stood quietly near the magic circle, as he inspected the summoning ritual being re-examined.

nThe magic circle was completed, and only the final activation was left, then it could start to connect to the two temporary allies from the Underworld.

nLin Sheng’s eyes narrowed as he thought of the Netherblade and Courtier.

nDuring this time, he had gone through the various tomes over at the Giant Kings and the Fairy King’s place while he had time.

nSo he had some general understanding of the Underworld.

nEspecially what it meant to be a Magister, and he had a clearer understanding than before.
