Tribulation of Mysteries

Chapter 53:

Countless shadow tentacles grabbed at the black beast with a human head and a dog’s body.

But the beast of darkness jumped lightly. The ground beneath its feet shattered as it leapt more than ten metres and landed on the roof of a building.

The moment the shadow tentacles made contact with its body, they were instantly incinerated.

Even the shadows were reduced to ashes!

The beast of darkness was like a king patrolling its territory, occupying the top of a tall building. The high priest spoke in a loud voice, “Lin… You are truly favored by this existence to be able to directly attack such a powerful monster! You also founded a church? Did the previous believers also die at your hands?”

“Old man, you talk too much.”

Blood gushed from Lin’s hand and turned into a bow. A pale white arrow emerged from her arm, as if it were made of bone.

Whoosh!

The bowstring vibrated as the white bone arrow flew out with unyielding determination!

“Tie!”

Olivia manipulated the invisible threads to surround the high priest. These threads were not only the crystallisation of the ‘chrysalis’ spirituality, but they also seemed to have a life of their own. They actively sought out opponents and at the same time became more resilient.

This was the result of combining the strange creature’s ability with their own, resulting in the effect of one plus one equals two.

Hiss!

The invisible threads swept past. Even the metal lampposts and walls were sliced cleanly.

They closed in on the centre, cutting off the High Priest’s escape route and forcing him to face the arrow head-on!

Puff!

The white arrow collided with the high priest’s front claws. It barely pierced his skin before sinking into his black flesh.

“Hmm… At best, you are equivalent to the third stage of the ‘Dark Chaser’. Without this monster, you would not be my opponent.”

The black flames on the beast of darkness’s body became incomparably powerful, melting the white bone arrow. The high priest tried to find a way to break out of the encirclement. It was obvious that he was extremely wary of the animated strings.

He stared at Olivia and his expression changed slightly, “Cocoon has already joined forces with the ‘Crimson Moon’?”

“Continue to hold him back. I will go up and fight in hand-to-hand combat.” Lin did not answer at all. A crimson light flashed in her eyes. Her hands became daggers as she charged up the building.

“You…”

Olivia could only stare at Lin’s back, unable to say anything to stop her.

Aaron watched the scene but there was nothing he could do to help.

The two girls couldn’t possibly fight and pray at the same time.

“But … is the High Priestess’ fighting that bad?”

He thought for a moment and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. “Something doesn’t feel right …”

No matter what, the High Priest was still an extraordinary expert who had completed the eclipse ritual and transcended mortality!

How could such an existence, half a step away from the shackles of humanity, be forced into such a state by a low-level Beyonder?

“Die, old man!”

Lin rushed to the roof and saw the High Priestess tied up in a very small space.

The High Priest turned to look and a sinister smile appeared on his face, like a cunning old wolf who had finally found his prey.

With a leap, he entered the shadows and his body suddenly disappeared!

[Shadow Leap]!

This was the ability that the high priest had been hiding. The next moment, he jumped out of Olivia’s shadow and plunged his sharp claws into Olivia’s abdomen!

To him, Olivia, who wielded Flesh Sceptre, was his greatest enemy!

As long as he got rid of her, he could easily deal with the rest!

“Pu!”

Olivia coughed up blood, but the wound on her abdomen healed quickly, and a large amount of flesh grew around the wound.

This healing spell from the Flesh Sceptre had clearly exceeded the High Priest’s expectations.

Olivia took the opportunity to turn around and swing the sceptre!

Bang!

The sound of something striking was heard and the High Priest screamed as he fell into the shadows and disappeared.

“Olivia?”

Lin jumped down from a height of over ten metres. As she landed, the sound of her legs breaking could be heard, but she didn’t care. The lower half of her body turned to blood and then back to a pair of complete legs as she ran over.

“I’m… fine!”

Olivia tried her best to take in her surroundings. “Watch out for a sneak attack from the shadows!”

“I pray to the Lord …” Lin didn’t spot the enemy and immediately prayed again.

Aaron shook his head, knowing that the High Priest had already left.

After all, Olivia’s previous blow had also injured him, especially the life force from the Mother Tree of Flesh. It was highly poisonous to the followers of the Black Sun!

Who knew, the High Priest might even be able to give birth to a little beast of darkness?

Aaron didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the thought, and then he began to react.

Olivia had used a flesh spell to heal herself instantly, and her counterattack was successful. Although it was considered a good move, this kind of healing came with corruption, so she still needed to be purified.

…

In the evening, Olivia and Lin returned to the department store.

“Sorry … If I had been more careful today, maybe I could have kept him …”

Olivia spoke first.

She felt she had made a mistake this time. Under the Lord’s reminder, she clearly had the initiative, but she still couldn’t keep the High Priest and instead revealed her trump card.

“It’s not your fault. I’m too weak, and… the previous battle has affected me greatly… I can’t use the Flesh Sceptre anymore…”

Lin calmly analysed: “If I, a beyonder with the ‘red’ spirituality, use the sceptre, the effect will definitely be better!”

She paused: “I made some mistakes this time. I can assure you that I will not take the initiative to cause trouble for those Black Sun heretics before I am promoted again.”

“I think just the opposite.”

Olivia said suddenly: “Now is the time… Only the healing spell of the flesh sceptre contains this level of contamination, if the high priest is hit by it, he will be severely injured in a short time and unable to recover, this is the best chance!”

“You mean?” Lin’s eyes lit up.

“Take this opportunity to raid Black Sun City, the headquarters of the Black Sun Church!” Olivia said, “It’s best to kill the high priest directly!”

As for the complete destruction of this church?

Olivia didn’t think much about it.

After all, as long as [Black Sun] exists, even if the other party is completely wiped out, the Black Sun Church will inevitably resurface soon. This is a predictable thing.

…

“You’re really looking for trouble.”

Aaron covered his forehead, his face full of helplessness.

“Although this plan is quite feasible, and Lin who holds the ‘Flesh Sceptre’ can even kill a ‘Dark Chaser’ easily, I always feel that there will be some variables… For example, at the end, if those evil believers summoned [Black Sun] like crazy, got an answer, and so on. They didn’t consider that aspect, do they think I’ll block it for them?”

“I’m sorry… if [Black Sun] really comes, there’s nothing I can do…”
