The fight started instantly.
Neither Safelia nor I hesitated. We both know that there is no peaceful way out.
And even if there were, we wouldn't accept it.
A magic circle appeared behind Safelia. The magic circle carried a holy feeling and a lightning arc surrounded it.
“Don't worry, prince. I'm not gonna kill you! I'm not so reckless as to kill a prince! However, I think no one will mind if I leave you half dead, right?
Before he finished speaking, his spell was cast.
"The Seventh-Layer Divine Mantra, (Spear of Order and Punishment)!"
The seven holy spears surrounded by lightning sparks left the magic circle. The spear flew towards me at lightning speed!
Although Safelia only said that she would not kill me, the spell she used was deadly! It was more than enough to kill a fifth tier practitioner!
But well, I'm not a normal fifth-tier practitioner.
Without seeing the spear, I moved. My body passed through the spear and appeared right in front of Safelia!
At a certain point, a sword appeared in my hand. The sword shone with a sharp killing intent that slashed towards the saint.
Safelia furrowed her brows. With a wave of his hand, the spear turned against me. At the same time, a barrier appeared around him to protect him from my slash.
*BANG!!!*
Swords and barriers clashed. A powerful shockwave hit the room, destroying everything in it from chairs to tables.
Fortunately, I had put up a barrier with defensive and soundproofing properties around the room earlier. Otherwise, only this clash would destroy half the buildings.
The first clash was only the beginning of our struggle. As soon as the barrier stopped my sword, I took a step back and avoided the spear of light. Then, I zigzagged around the room, avoiding the other spears.
Each spear pierced through the ground, passing through me completely. I looked at Safelia coldly and disappeared from my position, appearing behind her.
*About!*
Once again, my sword collides with the barrier.
This time, though
*crack!*
The barrier is cracked.
“!!!” Safelia. He hurriedly threw another barrier, barely stopping my sword. Then, a teleportation spell appeared under his feet and moved him to the other side of the room.
When he reappeared, he looked at me with a serious expression.
"You ... You're not a fifth-tier practitioner!"
I shrugged my shoulders. "Shocked? Why do you think I dare to face you, saint? ”
Safelia's expression darkened. "So so. To think you've been hiding your powers all along. Heh, with this level of strength, it is not strange that you are so proud and stubborn. However, you underestimated the power of a saint! ”
As soon as his words were finished, great power descended on his body!
That power was extremely powerful and carried a pressure that forced people to submit to it. Yes, it is the power of gods!
“Do you think I am a normal tenth layer practitioner? Haha, Prince Claus, I am the use of divine arts, a saint! Even if you are a twelfth layer practitioner, I will not fear you!”
Practitioners of god art were slightly different from magicians and warriors. In a certain way, they could be considered stronger.
That was because using god arts did not exclude using magic or martial arts. On the contrary, it increases them. A mage can use divine arts to increase his magic power and a martial artist can use divine power to strengthen his attacks.
The problem is that in order to use divine arts, you must have faith.
In other words, you must earn the acknowledgement of the gods and receive feedback in the way of the divine arts.
But gaining recognition as a god is not easy. Unless you are a devout believer who dedicates most of his time to praying or converting new believers, you will not get it.
So, the only ones who could use divine arts were the people from the church. Well, there are some exceptions, but they are few and far between.
As for Safelia, she was no ordinary divine arts practitioner.
He is a church saint.
Being a saint has several benefits.
One was the fact that he could use holy power to forcefully increase his cultivation, just like now.
Safelia's strength rose crazily. In less than a second, his aura was almost as strong as that of School Head Evelyn.
A dazzling white light and lightning snakes were crazing all around him. It was a manifestation of the two laws that the Goddess of Order had gained recognition, order, and lightning.
Moreover, as the main god of the empire and humanity, the amount of trust that the Goddess of Order could use was terrifying. That meant that the power of the lightning laws and its order was extremely strong, and the support he could get from the world was immense.
But when the law of the Goddess was about to drown me, I snorted coldly.
"Stop."
It was as if my words were law. Almost instantly, the power of lightning and order in the room froze!
A powerful sword intent erupted from my sword. The sword intent quickly covered the entire room, attacking the lightning law and order and destroying it completely!
“Even if you use the power of a goddess, you are no match for me, Saintess. Maybe it could happen if you were the Goddess herself. Although to be honest, I am also not afraid of him. ” I said while grinning.
"sinner!" Saintess Safelia shouted. Suddenly, a pure white burning spear appeared in his hand. The pure white flame on the spear seemed to burn away every sin, and nothing impure could fight against it.
Safelia kicked the ground and rushed towards me!
"Dead!"
I laugh. With a twist of my wrist, my sword was infused with the outer law of my space.
(Render Reality)!
It was only a weak version of the technique, but it was enough on this occasion. When my sword met the spear, the burning white flames extinguished completely.
Then, I stretched out my hand and–
*Plaaakk!*
"It's for Lina."
The sound of my hand hitting his cheek echoed in the room.
Safelia. But as his mind processed what was happening, his eyes turned red.
"Fuck!" Again, he summoned the power of the goddess. Unfortunately for him, I'm tired of his repetitive tricks.
"Just be free." With a wave of my hand, my sword intent erased his divine power.
When Safelia saw how easy it was for me to remove the sacred power, her face was filled with disbelief.
"Imust be!"
In the meantime, I-I
*plaakk!*
"It's for Clara."
Safelia held her cheeks reddened with fear in her eyes. Finally, he understood that things did not look good.
"Fuck!" Safelia was even more furious, but she knew she was being harmed. So, he chanted a teleportation spell to escape from the room.
But surprisingly, the spell failed to activate.
At the same time, another slap came for his cheek.
*Playakk!*
"This is because I don't like you."
"you…!!! Mother goddess, help me!” shakily shouted safelia facing up while both hands fused together.
His scream seemed to cause a call at a higher power. Suddenly, a huge hand of mana descended from the sky towards the room where we were fighting!
But how could I let him intervene?
Opening my mouth, I only said one word.
"God!"
And in the depths of my mind, something woke up.
A complicated set of runes (rhymes/writing) appeared. The cluster of runes lit up with a bright light, taking the form of a sword that appeared in my hand.
But this was no ordinary sword. In fact, you can only see a faint form of something like a sword that seems to exist and does not exist at the same time. It was as if a piece of space itself was cut and used to forge this sword.
It was my strongest attack technique and at the same time a weapon that accompanied me through many lifetimes.
Holding the sword in my hand, I slashed!
(Render Reality)!
The attack cut reality in two. The goddess' will was completely erased, and the space in my sword path was no longer there.
[AHHHHHHHHHHH!!]
A scream of pain echoed in the capital, but I ignored it. Instead, I gestured with my hand to cast a spell.
A magic circle appeared under my feet, rapidly expanding to cover the entire room. Then, a thin-looking transparent barrier appeared.
As soon as the barrier appeared, the connection of this room to the outside world disappeared.
From now onward, not even gods could interfere with what was happening here.
The only way to interfere was to have a higher space achievement than mine.
After I finished, I turned towards the dumbfounded saint.
"Well, holy man, I think we have some things to talk about."
