Chapter 76.2
Kina was a priest, but his martial arts and sacred arts were both genius-level. Even Naiser Sephet, who received a recommendation as a superior paladin due to his outstanding martial skills, has a hard time.
Soon, Kina Berit reached out with his trained hand towards Naiser.
However, at that moment, something amazing happened.
Shwoosh!
“!”
The sight of Kina’s hand reaching Naiser disappeared like an illusion.
And the place where Naiser appeared was unexpectedly in the middle of the Blue’s camp!
Having entered the Blue’s camp transparently, Naiser, who had gone through intense training, laughed heartily.
“Crazy, trying to have a showdown with Kina Berit!”
“!”
That’s the Red’s sacred technique
It creates a doppelganger, and the main body becomes transparent, lurking during the concealment period. Since the main body’s energy is directed towards the doppelganger during the concealment time, it’s impossible to distinguish unless one is from the Red.
Well, the duration is short as it unravels instantly when attacked, but it didn’t matter.
A crimson aura soared where Naiser was.
It was a fairly wide aura, making it impossible for Isaac and Kina, who entered the Red’s camp, to easily escape.
“A leg-binding sacred technique. With something like this…”
When Kina tried to dispel it, nearby the Red priests put their hands on the aura Naiser had created.
Flash!
“Use your energy and capture them!”
There were about five priests.
Among the Red team, they were the most skilled individuals after Naiser. They were the iron-wall inquisitors, known for their cruelty.
And when they infused their holy powers to amplify the aura, Isaac and Kina couldn’t move.
At the same time, Naiser turned towards Shuri.
Anyway, he knew those guys wouldn’t last long against Kina.
‘Even if it’s just a dozen seconds.’
While those guys were buying some time, let’s finish Shuri Eshua!
The Grand Battle of leaders?
Ha! Did that bastard think he suited the position of a leader?!
They had been together for seven and a half years.
He knew Shuri better than anyone else, and everyone in training knew he was weak! Being a fellow of the one of 5 major families, he couldn’t be more familiar with him.
If he wasn’t weak, why would he avoid a fight?
Just like facing a Skeleton King, he was nothing special even when he confronted him directly.
So he thought.
‘Using the confession sacred technique, it’ll last at most 10 seconds!’
Simultaneously, the Blue team rushed to restrain Naiser. The frenzied individuals tried to grab Naiser to hold him down.
But Naiser just laughed at that.
‘Frenzied? What’s so special about that? That’s just a makeshift solution by these fools!’
Since they lacked the ability, they resorted to such a trick.
‘Are we going to lose to this kind of thing?’
“Hold him!”
“Woah!”
At Naiser’s command, the Red apprentices took charge of the Blue people one by one.
They weren’t in their right minds, so they had to physically hold each one down since the Red’s sacred technique wasn’t working well on them.
‘Even if their stamina has improved, that’s all!’
Soon, Naiser swiftly reached Shuri.
‘!’
Naiser’s pupils transformed like a hunting dog. His eyes showed no hesitation or mistakes, only a grin of torment.
If there was anything else, it was just a smile of torment blooming at the corners of his mouth.
‘Isaac Eshua, you idiot. You should’ve used Kina Berit for defense!’
It’s a mistake to trust such an idiot with responsibility just because he’s a brother!
Everyone watching that scene squinted their eyes.
‘Looking at the sacred technique he’s planning to use, it will completely cripple him.’
A sacred technique that inflicts pain by severing the arm!
The results of the future were too clear. The opponent wasn’t in a good state.
Lilai also pondered and quickly stood up.
“Lilai?”
“I should ask the judge to stop.”
It’s too much for Shuri.
Naiser seems overly excited. He didn’t know why, but the sacred technique he used during the lower priest’s test wasn’t something suitable for a test.
Shuri also shuddered when he saw the red lightning emerging from Naiser’s hand. It was clear what kind of spell it was and how powerful it was.
And if struck by that attack, his arm would be severed.
But then, Shuri locked eyes with Isaac.
Before the match, he recalled what Isaac had said.
-It’s okay, brother. Just do as I say.
Isaac said.
-The red bastard won’t move directly in this test.
-What? Naiser won’t move?
-Yeah. He’s aiming for the execution ceremony. He needs to get a high score. But if he alone takes all the points as the leader of the family, will his subordinates follow? I’ll give the subordinates a chance to earn points too. Of course, I’ll leave the test to the team members. He’ll probably target only me, his grudge target. But now it’s different.
There was no need to ask why.
-Because I brought the Pope’s grandson.
-!
Isaac chuckled.
-He must be scared. Now that the Pope’s grandson is here, there’s no time to leisurely search with his team members. But he won’t like to face me himself. So he’ll target you systematically.
-!
But that’s the first strategy for Isaac to pull Naiser out of the Red’s camp.
If Kina Berit could help, that would be even better, but in fact, it didn’t matter. Just participating was an advantage for Isaac.
-And do you know why I turned all the team members into beasts?
-That’s because their abilities are low. To quickly raise their combat capabilities…
-Brother, the sacred technique of the Red is aimed at ‘humans’. It doesn’t work well on animals. Mind control doesn’t work.
-!!!
The Demon King, who had faced numerous priests, chuckled.
-So those who weren’t affected by the beast transformation, especially among them, the high-ranking leader who can end the game quickly, would be the primary target, right?
Those who hadn’t fallen under the influence of the beast transformation were entrusted to their subordinates.
This was the second strategy that led Naiser to target only the leader.
-So, Naiser will definitely try to settle the score one-on-one. Since he already finds brother more ridiculous, he’ll do it even more.
At those words, Shuri was horrified.
-The reason you told the judge ‘I want to resign as a leader’ before the match…!
Isaac smirked.
Yeah, Naiser was watching, so he deliberately had Shuri say it. That way, Naiser wouldn’t think about anything else and would only target Shuri.
Isaac was properly setting the stage for his older brother.
-Then show it to everyone at that time. Show them that you’re not a pushover!
At that moment, Naiser, with a raised corner of his mouth, threw a punch at Shuri.
“You bastard, it’s over!”
At his shout, Shuri clenched his teeth. Memories of the training he had endured while enduring Isaac’s blows came to mind.
At the same time, Shuri grabbed Naiser’s collar.
“You’re the bastard, you idiot!!”
