Chapter 168: Chapter 167: Mockery
Cade was waiting for news from the Black Scripture. Feeling uneasy, he stepped out of his residence, only to be met with a horrifying sight: the ground was littered with corpses.
All 300 of his personal guards had been silently slaughtered.
Not a single enemy corpse was left behind.
"Pfft!"
Blood spurted from Cade's left arm, which had been severed without him even noticing. Only when his arm was completely detached did the pain finally register.
The one who struck was the Goblin Assassin Captain.
"It's impolite not to return a favor. This is the message from our tactician: your life will be taken on tomorrow's battlefield."
Countless shadows emerged behind the Goblin Assassin Captain—goblins clad entirely in black. They were the ones who had silently killed all of Cade's guards.
The goblin assassins melted back into the darkness, leaving without a trace.
Cade fell to his knees.
He already understood the fate of the Black Scripture and the three Scripture units.
"Even goblins, whom we once looked down on the most, can slaughter us like this. O Six Gods! Please save us!"
Cade gazed at the sky, praying for salvation from the Six Gods, but no miracle came.
Shortly after, Cade fainted due to blood loss, having failed to tend to his wound.
Soon, soldiers noticed something was amiss and discovered the area littered with corpses and the unconscious Cade.
The next day, Cade woke up, his severed arm having been reattached.
"As a general, dying on the battlefield is my ultimate destiny." Cade, clutching his weapon and dragging his weakened body, ordered his soldiers to assemble and prepare for an attack.
"General, your body!" A loyal officer, who greatly admired Cade, voiced his concern.
"It's nothing!"
"Soldiers! The Theocracy's elite forces have already gone to confront the culprits behind this war. As long as we hold off the Empire's advance, victory will be ours!"
As a general, Cade understood the importance of morale. Right now, he could only resort to deception to maintain it.
A battle without hope was one few could endure.
However, Cade never got the chance to face the Empire's attack.
In the sky appeared a figure clad in golden armor, with four pairs of snow-white wings.
"Is that an angel?"
One of the soldiers from the Slane Theocracy murmured in awe.
The figure in the sky rapidly descended toward the ground.
Upon contact with the earth, a massive explosion erupted, leaving a giant crater in its wake.
Standing at the center of the crater was Peroroncino.
"It's been a while since I've had some big-scale fun! Let's see if you can entertain me!"
"Special Item: Soul of the Deathsworn!" (Divine-class item. Allows the resurrection of units below level 60 without needing corpses. Resurrected units disappear after one hour. No limit on quantity.)
A radiant light descended, reviving all the fallen members of the Black Scripture, except for the Black Scripture Captain.
As well as the members of the Five Other Scriptures.
The captain of the Holocaust Scripture was also resurrected.
That woman, however, had annoyed Peroroncino for a while, refusing to submit. Unwilling to tolerate her any longer, he had killed her not long ago.
The members of the Six Scriptures were still confused, unsure of what had just happened. How had they all been revived?
"Alright, everyone, the boss battle begins now! If you win, this war ends. But if you lose, the Slane Theocracy will forever become a thing of the past!"
As Peroroncino's voice echoed, everyone turned to face him.
"Who are you?!" Cade shouted.
"My master is one of the supreme beings of the Sorceror Kingdom, known as Peroroncino!" Suddenly, Shalltear appeared beside Peroroncino and spoke.
Many of those present had died at Shalltear's hands, and they were well aware of her strength. Moreover, Peroroncino was Shalltear's master.
Several people swallowed nervously, trying to calm themselves.
Meanwhile, Bukubukuchagama, Mare and Aura were watching everything from the sky.
Bukubukuchagama was still concerned about her younger brother, given the past lessons learned. The most important thing was that she had nothing left to do—her subordinates had already handled everything she wanted to accomplish.
With no tasks left to attend to, she wandered around like an ordinary girl, shopping. She had even started to get a little tired of it.
Upon hearing that Peroroncino was coming to the Slane Theocracy to show off, she decided to come and see for herself.
"Skyfall Arrow Rain!"
Peroroncino waved his hand toward the sky, and countless arrows rained down.
"Magic Shield!"
"Elemental Shield!"
Infinite Magic and Four Great Spirits both of them cast massive magical shields.
"Rock Shield!"
Ashendust Scripture members also cast earth magic to protect everyone.
The arrow rain caused little damage to the Five Other Scripture members.
However, the ordinary soldiers surrounding them suffered severe casualties.
Peroroncino put away the Hou Yi Bow and landed on the ground.
The strongest human swung an axe toward Peroroncino.
With a single hand, Peroroncino caught the axe, and with a firm grip, he crushed it.
At the same time, various spells from behind Peroroncino were hurled toward him.
Peroroncino completely ignored them and landed a punch squarely on the strongest human's chest.
The strongest human was sent flying like a large black rat, crashing through countless members of the Ashendust Scripture and even breaking through the city wall.
The captain of the Windflower Scripture rushed to check the strongest human's injuries.
The result was, "He's dead!"
In the brief moment she turned away,
Peroroncino had used his fists to kill Holy Knight, Divine Chains, also Heaven and Earth.
The chains of Divine Chains bound Peroroncino, but he forcefully pulled, sending Divine Chains flying toward him, and Peroroncino killed him with a single kick.
Heaven and Earth and Holy Knight tried to attack Peroroncino from different angles, hoping to make him vulnerable from both sides.
But their speed was too slow. Peroroncino crushed their heads with a single hand, killing them both instantly.
Not a drop of blood stained Peroroncino's body, as he dodged the splattering blood with his incredible speed.
"Use the combined attack technique!"
The captains of the Five-Color Scriptures:
Windflower Scripture
Holocaust Scripture
Clearwater Scripture
Ashendust Scripture
Sunlight Scripture
All released their most powerful spells.
Although it required a long preparation time, they had no other choice; normal spells were completely ineffective.
They could only use these techniques that took particularly long to activate.
The other members of the Black Scripture watched Peroroncino, too afraid to make a move, while Peroroncino also wanted to see what their ultimate skills were. He waited patiently.
Eighth-level Magic: Heavenly Flame Descends
Eighth-level Magic: Mirage
Eighth-level Magic: Meteor Fall
Eighth-level Magic: Divine Light Shines
Eighth-level Magic: Hurricane Frenzy
The Five-Color Scriptures simultaneously unleashed their ultimate moves.
In front of the Holocaust Scripture captain, Bukana, a magic circle erupted, sending roaring flames toward Peroroncino.
At the same time, water columns, meteors, holy light, and hurricanes—all five types of energy—gathered and surged toward Peroroncino.
As the meteor hit the ground, a deafening explosion echoed. The massive shockwave struck everyone, forcing the spellcasters to take several steps back.
Seeing such a stunning spectacle, all the people of the Slane Theocracy believed that Peroroncino was undoubtedly doomed.
"Let the price of your arrogance be paid!" Bukana said, addressing the spot where Peroroncino stood.
"Pay the price? With this? Is this it?"
Peroroncino's voice rang out from the center of the explosion.
Peroroncino walked out, completely unharmed.
"Is this damage, something as weak as a scratch, supposed to make me pay the price?"
In an instant, Peroroncino appeared right in front of Bukana, pinching her... and smiled.
Bukana was publicly humiliated, but all the humans present were powerless to do anything.
