Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 298 Mourning in the Holy City, Returning Home on a Flying Dragon
kind regards.

In his view, the olive branch extended by Raphael was an olive branch.

It will inevitably be like a bomb falling into the water, causing Lu Ran to be shocked and frantic!

This is an invitation from the Holy City to become an archangel!

No one would refuse.

Raphael firmly believed this.

After all, in his view, having the opportunity to become an angel was a blessing earned through eight lifetimes of good deeds!

However, the next second, he heard something that shocked him.

“I refuse,” Lu Ran said calmly.

He seemed to have expected this, and with a calm and nonchalant expression, he refused.

He refused?

He actually refused?!
Raphael took a deep breath and squinted at Lu Ran.

It turns out that there are people who would refuse the Holy City's invitation; that's truly an eye-opener!

It's important to understand that the Holy City is not comparable to the Parthenon.

The angelic souls of the Holy City will return on their own!
In other words, the Holy City will not decline suddenly like Parthenon did, due to the disappearance of Parthenon's spirit.

The reason Raphael invited Lu Ran to become an archangel was also related to the angel soul embryo!

The whereabouts of the three archangels, Michael, Remiel, and Sariel, are currently unknown. They believe that they must have been killed by Lu Ran!
However, neither the angelic soul embryo nor the angelic artifacts returned to the Holy City.

This left the archangels, led by Uriel, bewildered and puzzled.

They guessed it was related to Lu Ran.

After all, Michael knew that he had invited Remiel and the others who had returned to the Holy City.

But the result was that the three archangels disappeared, presumably dead!
The fact that the angel soul embryo and the divine artifact have not returned can only mean that Lu Ran hid them away!
"Hmph, since you've refused, then I won't stay." Raphael turned and left.

Raphael left, and Lu Ran didn't even turn his head back from beginning to end.

"It seems the Holy City's patience hasn't reached its limit yet."

"Knowing that the angelic soul embryo is most likely in my hands, how could you still hold back?"

Suddenly, Lu Ran smiled.

He vaguely remembered that the archangels in the Holy City were never of one mind!
At least some people wanted Michael dead.

That way, no one can threaten him.

holy city.

"Raphael has sent back a message."

Archangel Raguel paused, then said angrily:

"Lu Ran did indeed refuse!"

Archangel Uriel was not surprised by this. He said calmly, "Now that it has been confirmed that Lu Ran has no intention of joining the Holy City, the deaths of the three archangels can be announced."

"The deaths of the three archangels cannot be concealed."

Raguel nodded heavily.

"By the way, what about the Zu family?"

Raguel's face was gloomy. He knew that if the information provided by Zushi had not been wrong, how could the three archangels have died?

Uriel sneered:
"The Zu clan is located in the Nine Provinces. Do you think they can still live peacefully?"

"Even our angels failed; the Zu family is just making a joke of themselves."

At the same time, a hint of apprehension flashed through Uriel's mind.

Michael is very talented. His trump card, combined with the other two, can transform him into a sixteen-winged seraphim!

Even so, he still died.
Lu Ran can even control angel soul embryos, which he is very wary of!
Even if he had secretly cultivated to the sixteenth wing, who knew what Lu Ran's trump card was?
"Fine, let the soul reside with him a little longer. Heaven will grant me strength."

The scene shifts. A city, radiating golden light and perpetually glowing like the sun—the Holy City!
On this day, black feathers were stuck everywhere in the streets.

Dead still
What was once a sacred city has now been transformed into a desolate, black city.

Black feathers everywhere
This is a mourning ceremony only performed when an archangel falls!
Moreover, there was more than one fallen angel!
Everyone living in the holy city was puzzled, bewildered, and lost!
That's a high and mighty archangel, isn't it?
Did the archangel fall? Or did all three fall at the same time?
What a joke!
Has the Dark Dimension attacked?
The entire city's inhabitants wore expressions of sorrow.
The mourning ceremony was presided over by Archangel Raguel, who looked down upon the entire city, his voice stirring the emotions of all its inhabitants.

"Michael, Remiel, and Sariel, the three holy angels."

"We will definitely find the murderer and bring him to justice, no matter where he is hiding."

Let us forever remember their pioneering spirit.

"."

The murderer was none other than the heretic Lu Ran.

It was Lu Ran who killed the three angels, and Raguel and Uriel both knew it.

But they can't say it!
Even though three angels have fallen, they can still raise their arms and shout, stirring people's hearts.

But if the people of the Holy City knew that one person had simultaneously slain three archangels...
This will inevitably cause panic!
The sacred order they established was bound to collapse.

At this moment, most of the people in the Holy City believed that the fall of the three archangels was related to the underworld and the dark dimension.

if not?
In their minds, who in the world could possibly kill an archangel?
holy city.

After the goddess ceremony ended.

Not long after, Lu Ran heard about the Holy City's mourning ceremony from Asha'ruya.

"Oh? You didn't expose me. Interesting."

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems that the Holy City has no intention of breaking off relations with him yet!

However, a major battle is inevitable sooner or later; it's just a matter of time.

Instead of calling for war, the Holy City gave him time.

Next, he will use the River Styx to refine the angelic power of Michael, Remiel, and Sariel to nourish himself!
half a month later.

A giant dragon's shadow streaked across the Pacific Ocean.

"Thank you, Austin, for giving me a ride," Lu Ran said with a smile, patting the dragon's body.

Soon, the voice of Ottoman's mind came:
"I should thank you; the soul of the Ancestral Dragon has been of great benefit to me."

The soul of the Ancestral Dragon naturally comes from the Angelic Artifact!

That is, the ancestral dragon's soul sealed within Sariel's sacred dragon tooth staff!
The fact that it was able to instantly kill the Light Dragon was largely due to the suppression of the Ancestral Dragon's rank.

Now that he has devoured the Holy Dragon Fang Staff, the Ancestral Dragon Soul within it has naturally nowhere to reside.

If Lu Ran does not devour it, the dragon soul will return to the Holy City.
I might as well just feed it to Austin and let them bond.

After all, having absorbed the essence of three archangels, his cultivation and spiritual realm had long surpassed the boundaries defined by mages.

Above the highest level of cultivation?

The tenth realm of spiritual power?

He is far superior to that now.

Now, even without using the power of the Undead Emperor, he can easily defeat forbidden spells.

As for forbidden spells, he could naturally awaken them directly.
"Let's go back to Asuka City first."

In fact, Lu Ran had previously left an anchor point in Asuka City, which could be used to teleport directly to Parthenon in an instant.

But if there's a dragon rider available, Lu Ran wouldn't refuse.

The shadow of a dragon appeared, and thousands of miles away from Asuka City, the dragon's claws reached into the ocean.

The waves nearly capsized a sailboat thousands of meters away.
"Hmm? Baxia, you're here too."
