Chapter 374: Fierce Battle

Chapter 374: The Fierce Battle

Olgart did not know Levi.

After catching up to Levi, he launched the fiercest attack without hesitation.

In his view, Levi was mingling with Savinia.

He was nothing but scum among men, a traitor, a heretic.

His death was not regrettable.

Plus the crime of stealing the Goddess's Tear, death was too cheap for him.

Must take his soul back for judgment!

May he never find rest in eternity!

Never be permitted to reincarnate!

Only thus can his sins be washed clean.

To gain the gods' forgiveness.

Olgart raised his right hand high, holy light shimmering in his palm.

"Decree! Divine Punishment!"

Boom!

Thunderclap in the clear sky.

A golden light descended from heaven, striking the fleeing Levi.

The attack speed was so fast, even Levi moving at high speed could not dodge it.

At the last moment, he only had time to cast Savinia's head out of the attack range.

Olgart's full-power strike filled with rage possessed immense power.

The holy attribute Divine Punishment attack also had stronger suppression against the undead.

If Savinia had been struck, she might have died on the spot.

Her current strength was already nearly depleted.

Boom! Crackle! Crackle!

Levi's invisible armor shattered layer by layer, over thirty layers at once.

The power was incredibly terrifying.

He drew a sharp breath in.

You see, as his strength rose to the fourth rank.

After breaking through to Archmage, his invisible armor spell also easily broke through to the fourth rank.

Fourth-rank invisible armor spells could easily withstand attacks from fourth-rank spells.

Olgart shattered thirty-plus layers of invisible armor with one strike.

Any mage below the sixth rank would not be able to block this strike.

Levi could only rely on stacking armor techniques to barely withstand it.

The remaining invisible armor layers could at most withstand two more attacks.

After invisible armor was upgraded from third-rank mastery to fourth-rank, the maximum stacked layers increased from seventy-two to one hundred and eight.

Even so, it could at most withstand three of Olgart's Divine Punishment attacks.

Seeing this, Levi launched a counterattack without hesitation, giving Olgart no chance to launch another Divine Punishment.

Without seeing him cast a spell, several blue fireballs appeared around him, flying towards Olgart.

Olgart saw that Levi actually used Fireball.

Although the color was somewhat different from the fireballs he had seen, he did not pay much attention.

Fireball, no matter how powerful, is merely a first-rank spell.

It could not hurt his god-protected body at all.

Olgart focused intently on Levi, surprised by his defense.

Withstanding a Divine Punishment without injury was indeed very surprising.

But that was all there was to it.

Olgart clasped his hands before his chest, chanting the Light Revelation.

"Great God of Light, please grant me the holy light to purify all evil in this world..."

"Divine Judgment!"

Boom!

The fireballs exploded, the terrifying power released disrupting Olgart's incantation mid-cast.

Golden light burst forth from his body.

The god-given god-protected body withstood the power of the blue fireballs.

Otherwise, he would have been blown into fragments.

Olgart displayed surprise, that mere few seemingly ordinary blue fireballs could explode with power comparable to fifth-rank spells.

His gaze hardened, staring tightly at Levi.

His voice was loud like a bell, echoing between heaven and earth.

He loudly questioned Levi, "Who exactly are you? Why help the undead steal the sacred objects of the Temple of Light?"

Ripples of divine sound entered his ears, Levi felt his spirit shaking.

A vague thought of submission arose in his heart.

Levi realized this was the opponent's technique, he quickly gathered his mind, guarding his consciousness.

Daring not to have many stray thoughts.

In his mind there was only one thought, defeat the High Priest Olgart before him.

Third-Rank Fire Spell!

Meteor Fire Rain!

An advanced iteration of Chain Fireball.

In an instant, dozens of blue fireballs appeared in the sky, shooting towards Olgart.

Olgart sneered, "The same trick won't work on me."

"Decree! Spell Lock!"

All magical elements in an area around Olgart fell silent.

Blue fireballs flew to Olgart's side, soon like extinguished candles disappeared into the air.

"Dealing with mages like you is too easy, mages who rely on magical elements to cast spells are forever no match for clergy."

Orghart raised his left hand, where a holy light manifested in his palm.

The sacred radiance coalesced into a holy spear several meters in length.

"Holy Light Spear!"

Orghart locked the Holy Light Spear onto Li Wei, hurling it forth to fly straight toward him.

Li Wei's gaze hardened.

The Anti-Magic Arts were indeed troublesome, yet there were ways to deal with them.

The essence of Anti-Magic lay in suppressing the natural activity of magical elements across heaven and earth.

Preventing magical elements from responding to the mage's summons.

Disrupting the process of magical element infusion during spellcasting.

Only by employing Full Mana Casting could this problem be resolved.

Yet the problem remained: the more powerful the spell, the greater the magical energy required.

Spells beyond the fourth tier were already difficult to release relying solely on a mage's personal mana.

By using the method of Full Mana Casting, Li Wei could at most unleash a fourth-tier spell.

Casting a single fourth-tier spell would drain all his mana.

Li Wei chose a simpler path.

He summoned the Blade of Judgment.

The Blade of Judgment locked onto Orghart, whistling forth.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Holy Light Spear pierced through Li Wei's body, yet did not cease.

Taking a sharp turn, it flew straight toward Li Wei's true form hidden nearby.

Surprise flashed across Li Wei's face.

He hadn't expected the phantom body to fail deceiving the Holy Light Spear; this thing could even lock directly onto his true form.

Li Wei had no choice but to confront the Holy Light Spear head-on.

Nuclear Secret Art!

Super Blue Fireball!

A blue fireball bolstered by the Nuclear Secret Art surged to meet the Holy Light Spear.

At the instant the two collided.

The blue fireball resembled a punctured balloon, deflating rapidly.

The intense magical energy within instantly gushed out from the breach.

Boom! Rumble!

Instantly, beneath the dim sky, a small sun appeared to illuminate the world.

Blue flames erupted upward.

Within less than a second, the illusory Holy Light Spear pierced through the blue flames, shooting toward Li Wei.

Li Wei dodged swiftly; the Holy Light Spear flew past him, stabbing into the earth before shattering and dissipating.

Where the earth was struck by the Holy Light Spear, a bottomless pit appeared.

The power of the Holy Light Spear filled Li Wei with shock.

This was still a weakened Holy Light Spear.

If struck by a Holy Light Spear at its peak strength, the remaining invisible armor on his body would surely shatter completely.

Whether he could block it was another question.

Orghart, locked by the Blade of Judgment, had no time to attend to Li Wei.

He felt a tremendous threat emanating from the Blade of Judgment.

Orghart had a premonition that if struck, he would very likely perish.

Shock and confusion swirled within his heart.

What exactly was this thing?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Blade of Judgment spun rapidly, slicing toward Orghart.
