Versatile Mage: Unlimited Swordplay, Deconstructing Everything!

Chapter 176 Madwoman Ye Chang, the True Culprit of the Holy Judgment

In the vast temple of the goddess, there was not a single maid or guard.

Before the statue, Pamis maintained the demeanor of a temple matriarch, gazing at the woman in black whose face was mostly covered by a black veil.

A chilling, eerie atmosphere, incongruous with the world, rose continuously, as if it were the embodiment of a calamity that brought death to the world.

This person is none other than Salon, one of the seven cardinals of the Black Papacy.

“Pamishi, I know everything.”

With his hat brim lifted, Salang's cold red eyes seemed to see right through people as he stared directly at Pamishi.

"Oh, it seems my long absence has allowed you, this little bug, to turn quite a few of my people against me within the Holy See. But even if you know, so what? Soon your daughter will become the pinnacle of darkness and light. Shouldn't you be proud, Ye Chang?" Pamishi said calmly.

"Besides, your Bloodstone has returned to my hands, so how dare you appear before me?"

After saying that, Pamis flipped her hand and took out half of a deep red bloodstone that resembled a heart.

The Black Papacy is an extreme organization that exists to ensure the Pope's absolute control over the Papacy.

The seven cardinal churches imprinted a portion of their souls on the bloodstones of their bishops, with half of them under the control of the Pope.

Even the slightest hint of disloyalty can be used by the Pope to forcibly suppress a cardinal through the Bloodstone.

This is also the source of Pamis's confidence.

"Really? You really believe that bloodstone in your hand is real?"

Just as Pamis was about to activate the Bishop's Bloodstone, the bloodstone in her hand suddenly became transparent and then disappeared completely. Her hand was empty, as if the bloodstone had never existed.

Was the real phantom from that time?

Pamis knew perfectly well who was behind this change.

Lin Ling's innate talent is no secret to people in her position.

The bloodstone has been switched; it seems it was taken during the riot in the square earlier.

“Even without the Bloodstone, Ye Chang, you should know how long I’ve been running this place. You could say that I’ve already moved the Black Church’s roots here.”

Tread~tap~
Hailong, shirtless and disheveled, emerged from behind and to the left of Pamis.

To the right rear, an old man, clad in a black robe and hunched over, carrying a fishing rod, emerged from the shadows.

"The Ghostly Cult's Guardian Hailong, the Extradition Chief Scholar."

As Ye Chang looked at the two people who had appeared, an inexplicable pressure suddenly descended upon her shoulders. The smooth, uniform ground beneath her feet reflected the cracks in the rock bricks of the dome.

“I couldn’t stop Lin Ling,” Hailong said to Pamishi.

The claw attack from the Abyss Ancient Dragon nearly killed him. If he hadn't activated his shield and armor artifacts at the last moment, he would be dead in the collapsing mountain stream by now.

Fortunately, the Parthenon has no shortage of high-quality healing potions, and some of the most precious medicines are comparable to super-level healing magic.

“Ignore him. Things have escalated to this point; the people from the Holy Tribunal are already on their way,” Pamis said.

“I remember Lin Ling from the Dragon Kingdom was originally on the Holy City’s wanted list,” said Old Wen, who was carrying a bamboo fishing rod and stroking his white goatee.

A moment of silence fell over the scene. Asha'sya, hiding behind the statue, covered her mouth tightly, trying not to laugh.

Who would undermine their own boss?
The seal has been broken more than halfway, and regardless of whether these people end up fighting or not, she still has to get into the library.

“Kill her, and leave no trace.” Pamishi stopped dwelling on the matter.

Hailong and Elder Wen are among the few forbidden spellcasters in the Black Vatican, which is more than enough to ensure their safety in dealing with Ye Chang, who has a wide range of methods.

“Ye Chang’s ambition without the support of power is nothing but reckless courage.”

As if lecturing a junior, Old Man Wen casually sliced ​​through the space with the silver fishing line, creating numerous cuts.

Hailong also condensed the deep red lightning on his right arm, transforming it into a deep red lightning armor.

“If we’re going to die, we’ll die together, Pamishi. Do you think I would appear before you unprepared?” A trickle of black blood suddenly flowed from the corner of Ye Chang’s mouth.

The intense crimson lightning suddenly stopped, and the swaying of the fishing rod also quietly ceased.

Pami looked at Ye Chang in disbelief.

At the same time, all three felt some liquid flowing from their mouths.

Upon wiping it away, the black liquid that matched the one flowing from Ye Chang's lips was shockingly visible.

"When... how is this possible?!" Pamishi was somewhat incomprehensible. As she spoke, more black blood uncontrollably gushed from her mouth.

At the same time, Ye Chang's life force was also rapidly waning.

With each decline, more black blood gushed from the mouths of the three.

The elderly man, already quite old, was kneeling on the ground, coughing up large mouthfuls of black blood. He could barely hold onto his bamboo fishing rod and let it fall to the ground.

"Protect the heart!" Pami shouted immediately.

Putting aside her identity as Pope, she was no sham as the Mother of the Parthenon.

Her mastery of healing, light, and blessing magic is unparalleled in the world; there are fewer than ten mages who are stronger than her in these three areas.

In just a few breaths, she roughly understood how to resist this unknown toxin.

Hailong and Wenlong immediately mobilized their forbidden-level magical energy to protect their heart meridians, which slowed the spread and damage of the unknown toxin.

But the two men looked at Ye Chang with a hint of fear in their eyes.

They absolutely had no contact with Ye Chang.

Could it be that the poison was added beforehand?
Hailong's situation is somewhat understandable, but Elder Wen is almost always wandering around, his whereabouts are unpredictable, and even Ye Chang could not possibly track his movements.

Not to mention that Pamis has also been infected.

The temple's matriarch was poisoned.

If word gets out, the temple's reputation will be ruined.

"Are you avenging Wen Tai? All the people you've killed over the years are the ones who threw the guilty stones back then." Pamis chose not to make any rash moves at this point.

She needs to find a way to cure the poison first, otherwise she might really be dragged down with Ye Chang and die together.

"What happens to him is no longer important to me. I just want to kill you all," Ye Chang said coldly.

madman
Both Hailong and Wen Lao had the same thought: this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.

“I wasn’t the one who actually brought up the Dark Judgment back then,” Pamis suddenly said.

"Who is that."

The three noticed a slight shift in Ye Chang's gaze, which actually made them breathe a sigh of relief.

This madman's goal was clear: to kill everyone who participated in Wen Tai's Dark Judgment back then.

In the past decade, nearly half of those people have died for various reasons.

Ye Chang's influence is naturally present in this.

“Wen Tai’s brilliance was too dazzling back then, so he proposed to get rid of Wen Tai.”

"Who was the one who actually brought up the Dark Judgment back then?"

"Uriel, one of the seven archangels of the Holy City."

　I missed the match, boohoo, typing is such a pain.
