Chapter 123
Chapter 123
Ove filled with trepidation and doubt.
He was well aware of the overwhelming pressure he exerted in this state on his enemies.
The last time he unleashed this power, the royal wizard had been terrified, his face pale with fear.
Yet, Su Nan remained unfazed, even displaying a nostalgic and wistful expression.
From his tone, it seemed he had encountered similar situations before.
But how was that possible?
Apart from him, could there be other humans on the continent who possessed divine power?
Su Nan quickly adapted to the oppressive aura surrounding him.
In his past life, he had faced countless similar scenarios.
Divine emissaries, divine children, demigods... even true gods, he had faced them all personally.
Compared to those formidable and terrifying beings, the current Ove was simply insignificant.
Su Nan could see that Ove was merely absorbing divine energy into his body and utilizing it.
He was essentially a semi-sacred artifact, his self-will and perception twisted by the mark of faith.
“True divine power is far beyond what you possess,”
Su Nan chuckled, not waiting for the bewildered Ove to ask any questions, he raised his hand and fired a magic missile, striking Ove.
However, the starlight surrounding the latter merely flickered slightly, obliterating the incoming magic missile.
Ove snapped out of his reverie, his face turning cold. He ripped off the star-shaped necklace around his neck, clenched it in his hand, and in an instant, starlight erupted from his palm, quickly condensing into a幽蓝 long spear.
*Swoosh!*
The幽蓝 spear tore through the void, accompanied by a piercing roar as it surged towards Su Nan.
However, Su Nan had already completed his second spell. He suddenly blurred, instantly splitting into eight copies, scattering in all directions.
*Mirror Image!*
One of the images was pierced by the幽蓝 spear, shattering and vanishing like a bubble.
“Illusions!”
Ove snorted coldly, taking out a star book. He slapped the book with his palm, an invisible wave instantly spread outwards, shattering and dissolving every copy of Su Nan, leaving only the original.
Su Nan didn’t mind. Seizing this opportunity, he had already cast *Agile*术, *Tough*术, and *Shield*术 on himself. At the same time, another spell was ready.
*Burning Ray!*
A fiery red beam of scorching heat struck Ove with lightning speed, but it was still blocked by the starlight surrounding him.
“It’s useless, you can’t hurt me,”
Ove said coldly.
After entering this state, his personality seemed to transform entirely, losing his previous composure and calmness.
Hearing this, Su Nan just scoffed and ignored him.
There was no such thing as invincible defense in this world.
No matter how strong a defense, it would have some kind of limit.
Either it had a cumulative damage limit, like the *Ultimate Protection*戒,
Or it had an instant damage limit, which required a large amount of energy to sustain, like the *Magic Emblem Core*.
No matter which it was, as long as the damage accumulated to a certain extent, it could be broken.
His mind racing, Su Nan had already thrown a high-grade rune gem, which transformed into a thunderbolt that roared towards Ove.
At the moment the thunder struck, the starlight on Ove suddenly brightened.
Although he ultimately managed to block the thunder, this display undoubtedly revealed a hint of something.
“So that’s how it is,” Su Nan’s eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, “This thing of yours must consume a lot of divine grace, right?”
Ove’s face was gloomy, “So what? Can you last until I exhaust my divine grace?”
As he spoke, his hand was already pressing on the star book again.
The surrounding stars suddenly buzzed, then fell down one after another, attacking Su Nan in a torrential downpour.
Su Nan’s figure flickered, dodging the attacks while quickly throwing high-grade rune gems to retaliate.
The battle quickly escalated to a fever pitch.
Both sides exchanged blows, attacking each other while desperately trying to dodge each other’s attacks, minimizing the damage they received, their survival depending on who would crack first. ȒÃNȪᛒĘȿ@@@@
For this, Ove was confident.
The last time he killed the royal wizard, he only used seven or eight years’ worth of accumulated divine grace.
Currently, he still had nearly forty years’ worth of divine grace left. Even if Su Nan was stronger than the royal wizard, it would be more than enough to exhaust him!
But as time passed, Ove’s expression gradually became uneasy.
In just five or six minutes, Su Nan had already endured five *Starfall* attacks and seven *Star Spear* attacks, yet why did he still show no signs of exhaustion?
How many magic items did this guy have on him?
Ove wasn’t completely ignorant of magic items. According to his estimation, even if Su Nan was carrying thirty or forty alchemical-grade magic items on him, they should have been depleted by now.
Could it be that Su Nan also had glimmer-grade protective magic items?
Thinking that he would soon be able to increase his spiritual power, Su Nan’s mood immediately improved.
The pain of having spent tens of thousands of gold coins on high-grade rune gems during the battle also eased a bit.
After collecting his things, Su Nan reapplied *Levitation*術 and flew towards the lord’s mansion.
Inside the lord’s mansion, the battle continued.
With the blessing of starlight, the *Starfire Sect* members unleashed formidable fighting prowess. Cooperating with the soldiers who rushed in from outside to support them, they had turned the tables and firmly suppressed the magic puppet creatures.
On the other side, although Brack and Yoris couldn’t defeat the legendary two-ring spider puppet, they relied on the power of their sacred artifacts and didn’t have to worry about being defeated in the short term.
The situation was developing for the better.
However, Earl Holan’s heart was still hanging, unable to relax, and he would occasionally look up towards the direction where Su Nan and Ove had left.
He knew very well that the outcome here was insignificant. The real key was the outcome of the battle between Su Nan and Ove.
As long as Ove killed Su Nan, the magic puppet creatures here would be nothing to fear.
But once Su Nan won, then everyone present would be facing a disaster tonight.
Seeing Earl Holan’s furrowed brows, Casper whispered beside him, “My Lord, don’t worry, with Grand Priest personally taking action, there’s definitely no problem!”
Casper’s tone was filled with strong confidence.
Outsiders weren’t aware, but they, the mid-to-high-ranking members of the *Starfire Sect*, knew that Grand Priest Ove had received divine favor and could wield divine power!
Even wizards wouldn’t be a match for a grand priest who was a divine favored one!
From the moment Su Nan didn’t immediately leave but chose to show himself, his fate had already been sealed.
“Once we eliminate Su Nan, Shining Light Territory will also be no threat. After suppressing the rebels, the sect’s missionary plans in Starsea Duchy will no longer face any obstacles, and the sect will usher in prosperity,”
Casper thought silently, a slight smile creeping across his lips.
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from beside him.
“Someone is coming!”
Everyone immediately looked up, and sure enough, they saw the silhouette of a person flying towards them from afar.
As the distance closed, everyone gradually saw the person’s features clearly.
When they recognized the young face, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
Casper was even more pale, his voice hoarse with disbelief:
“Impossible! How could it be Su Nan?!”
“How could the Grand Priest lose?!”
Earl Holan had already forgotten Casper’s失态表现, from the moment Su Nan appeared in his field of vision, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his limbs icy cold.
Even Ove had been defeated, no one in the entire Holan Prefecture could stop Su Nan.
They were finished!
Intense regret instantly flooded his heart, and Earl Holan felt extremely remorseful.
If he had known that the *Starfire Sect* was so unreliable, he shouldn’t have rushed to join their side.
Even if he disobeyed the Grand Duke’s orders, at worst, he would be reprimanded and have some of his territory confiscated. How could it be like this now, where he had lost everything, including his life and his family?
What a regret!
Looking at Casper, whose face was pale beside him, Earl Holan suddenly flew into a rage. He swiftly drew the long sword at his waist and thrust it into Casper’s heart.
Casper was in a state of despair, completely unprepared for Earl Holan’s sudden attack. He was caught off guard and stabbed right through the heart. He looked at Earl Holan with a gaze filled with astonishment and anger.
“You, you”
He couldn’t finish his words before Earl Holan pulled out the sword and slashed his head off with a backhand.
Su Nan, who had landed on the ground, saw this scene and a playful expression appeared on his face.
In-fighting already?
*Clang!*
Earl Holan tossed away his weapon and squeezed out a smile towards Su Nan, “Mr. Su Nan, actually, there’s no need for us to get to this point. After all, we have no grievances with each other, right? It’s all the *Starfire Sect*’s fault. I can betray them and offer Holan Prefecture with both hands. I only beg you to spare me and my family!”
Su Nan looked at Earl Holan deeply and suddenly smiled slightly.
Upon seeing this, Earl Holan was overjoyed, thinking that Su Nan had agreed to his proposal, but the next second, a bolt of lightning pierced his forehead.
“Extinguishing you and your family, Holan Prefecture will still be ours, and it will be cleaner,”
As Earl Holan’s face filled with confusion and resentment, Su Nan said calmly.
Then, without even looking at the corpse that had fallen on the ground, he turned his gaze towards Yoris and Brack, who were swiftly fleeing towards the distance.
The moment Su Nan appeared, these two grand priests of the *Starfire Sect* had not hesitated to abandon their followers and turn to flee.
Unfortunately, Su Nan had already anticipated this.
Before they could escape far, they were intercepted by the *Stealth Dragon*.
The *Double-Bladed Spider* quickly followed suit.
Two two-ring legends against two one-ring legends, the outcome was obvious.
Su Nan retracted his gaze and began to clean up the battlefield.
The night grew even darker.
Moments later, Su Nan calmly walked out of the lord’s mansion. He glanced at the dark silence behind him, leaped into the air, and quickly disappeared into the night.
