Chapter 284 Accidentally Kills the "Dark Saint"

Chapter 284 Accidentally Kills the "Dark Saint"

In the Dark Lodge, Raphael silently observes the battle between Archbishop Radar Valentine of the Church of Storms and "The Dark Saint" Kesma in the real world.

Kexma had just been ambushed by "Despair Witch" Triss and affected by the extraordinary virus, contracting pneumonia. These attacks and negative effects have begun to affect Kexma's condition, weakening his combat power.

So Kexma had no intention of fighting at all; he transformed into a shadow, hoping to escape from here.

Radar raised his hands, and suddenly the spring sky over Backlund was filled with lightning and thunder. Streaks of silver lightning, like strange snakes, snaked through the air, forming a very oppressive silver-white forest.

Under the cover of this "forest," thick bolts of lightning continuously struck, either attacking the dark figure in the living room or preventing him from escaping.

For a moment, Kesma was stuck at the party and couldn't leave at all.

Raphael in the Dark Lodge exclaimed, "The abilities of those who have passed the 'Tyrant' pathway are truly astonishing!"

Even if the battle between Gadriya and the others hadn't attracted the attention of the official Extraordinary Ones, they would definitely have noticed this place now, and even those who were asleep had been woken up.

Kexma knew that another official saint might arrive at any moment, so he simply stopped hiding, quickly reverted to human form, and conjured a large, pure black shield in his hand.

Thick bolts of lightning struck the great shield, causing it to ripple, but for the time being, it was able to defend against the astonishing lightning attack.

With one hand supporting his shield, Kexma bit off the index finger of his other hand, splattered his blood on the ground, and chanted a spell. The light around him suddenly blurred, then the air distorted, and Kexma instantly became unreal.

This is a secret technique that Ksma heard during the "Listener" sequence, which can turn a small area of ​​normal space into a "shadow world".

At the time, he only "heard" it, and it wasn't until he was promoted to "Black Knight" that he had enough power to use it.

The "Shadow World" is the domain ruled by the "True Creator." For Ksma, once he enters the "Shadow World," he can quickly escape from it.

Radar, who was in mid-air, realized this. He raised his hand, and lightning formed a silver, wide, longbow with swirling lightning in his right hand, while a silver arrow with a blue tail appeared in his left hand.

The arrow was thick and heavy, and looked like a small javelin.

In an instant, Radar drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and the entire "Silver Forest" in the sky suddenly lit up, with all the lightning converging on Radar.

swoosh~

The long arrow shot out, acting like a lightning rod, attracting all the lightning bolts, which then pierced the black shield in Kexma's hand.

puff~

The shield pierced through, and a long arrow pierced through Kesma's neck and emerged from his waist.

At the same time, Triss, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly appeared and fired three short ice arrows, which pierced Kexma's back once again.

Then Triss quickly disappeared again, because Radar's long arrow attack continued, and the arrow suddenly "exploded", turning everything in the room into a chilling silver-white color.

Kexma screamed as his chest and abdomen were blown open, and his remaining legs and head were charred black by the lightning.

Amidst the charred remains, there is a patch of white frost—Tristes's ice crystal dart.

Kexma's head swayed, and his head and a shoulder fell toward the ground, but before they hit the ground, the silver light around him suddenly dimmed.

The next second, a small shadow appeared out of nowhere, and Kexma's mangled body merged into the shadow.

Immediately afterwards, this small "shadow world" disappeared, and Kexma escaped as a result.

Archbishop Radar in the sky coldly watched the spot where Kesma had disappeared. If it were at sea, there would be no way he would have been allowed to escape.

When he went to find the witch again, she had already "disappeared" once more.

At that moment, Archbishop Anthony Stevenson of the Church of the Night, dressed in a black and red clergy robe with deep-set eyes, arrived, but he was a step too late.

All of this happened very quickly; only a dozen seconds had passed since Cattleya started her attack.

Battles between saints can usually be decided within a few seconds.

Raphael in the "Dark Lodge" had just marked Kesma's spirit. Although he couldn't find Kesma in the "Shadow World," he knew that Kesma couldn't possibly stay in such a dangerous place to recover from his injuries. He would definitely return to the real world after escaping.

He waited for about two minutes and finally sensed Kesma's spirituality again in the suburbs of Backlund.

Raphael then used his "True Vision" to follow the trail and saw the charred "head" of the Ksmachi struggling to crawl towards its abdomen.

His head was missing not only half a shoulder but also an arm.

The other part consists of two legs, supporting half of the abdominal cavity.

At this moment, Kesma was using his one arm to try to climb up his abdomen, hoping to get back to the correct position.

Raphael was taken aback. Why didn't he let his lower body lie down? Wouldn't that be easier?

Or transform the entire body into a liquid of flesh and blood, recombining it like a "vengeful spirit."

But Raphael soon noticed that thin, blackish-red tentacles were emerging from Kesma's charred body, swaying slowly like seaweed.

This appears to be a sign that things are spiraling out of control.

Kesma was seriously injured just now. Physical injuries are not a big deal for a "Black Knight", but the arrow from the Archbishop of the Storm Church also severely damaged Kesma's spirit, which is why he showed signs of losing control.

Raphael, inside the "Dark Hut," pondered for a moment; the situation was different now than before.

Raphael hadn't planned to team up with "Despair Witch" Triss to attack Kexma because Triss was a huge destabilizing factor. They might spend a lot of effort killing Kexma, only to have Triss take most of the spoils. Besides, even if they joined forces, they weren't guaranteed to kill Kexma.

But things are different now. Kesma's situation is similar to that of the "Black Knight" that Raphael encountered in the "Forsaken Lands," with only a sliver of health remaining.

After a moment's consideration, Raphael returned to the real world and let his counterpart in the Northern Continent make the decision.

A remote suburb of Backlund.

With great effort, Kesma finally managed to climb onto his upright legs.

His appearance was very strange at this time. His whole body was black, and only two eyes could be seen on his head. One of his shoulders was intact, but the other was missing.

Below the shoulders are the hips and legs, truly living up to the saying "all legs under the armpits".

At this moment, the space not far away became illusory. Kesma saw the phantom that had just fought with him reappear. He quickly turned into a shadow, preparing to escape from here.

Then, he saw a familiar figure: "Raphael!"

In the hand of this Mr. A from the Aurora Society, lay a black crystal, the aura emanating from which terrified Kexma: "You—"

Suddenly, the crystal emitted an illusory black light. Kexma's eyes widened as he saw a cross as tall as a mountain, and a huge shadow.

That was—the ancient sun god!

puff~

Kexma's physical body and spirit exploded simultaneously!
