The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

Thirty members of the Radiant Moon Knights simultaneously channeled their magic, and streaks of dazzling light condensed in the air.

Faced with such a massive display, Ars simply pointed his sword at Orina in the very center.

"It is said that the chief priest of the Papacy of Bysma is exceptionally beautiful, a beauty rarely seen in the world."

"Now that I've seen her in person, she truly is a beauty that is unparalleled in the world!"

"Why don't you stay and become my woman?"

"Perhaps, if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare these people's lives."

Sugar's fists slammed together in front of his chest, lightning flashed, and his killing intent surged!

It transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot straight away!

"Be bold!"

"How dare you publicly disrespect Lady Orina!"

Lydia followed closely behind, her earth-attribute magic, which had a very strong defensive effect, enveloping Shug, who was at the front.

"Blasphemy?"

"So what if it's blasphemous?"

Ars remained arrogant, showing no fear whatsoever.

"In the face of absolute power, I can trample any morality or law under my feet!"

"No one can punish me!"

"Today, I will not only kill you scum, but I will also make Orina kneel before me!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Chapter 241 Inherent Magic - The Eighteen Rashomon Gates

Ars's arrogance was not without reason.

As a dual-attribute mage of fire and lightning, although he had not completed the fusion of magic, the physical enhancement brought to him by the lightning attribute and the unparalleled explosive power of the fire attribute directly turned him into a killing machine.

In addition, the Blood Eye Greatsword's ability to become stronger the longer it fights, means that in a one-on-one situation, no one can defeat him!

Shug's fighting style is quite similar to that of the Knights of the Moon.

Lightning granted her extraordinary physical abilities.

Whether it's high-speed movement or striking weak points, it's incredibly precise.

Moreover, it was incredibly powerful.

With brass knuckles on his fists, Ars was forced to retreat steadily as the wind from his punches whistled through the air.

On the other side, Lydia's sword whip was unpredictable, its attack trajectory impossible to foresee. Each time it grazed Ars, earth magic would flow into it, gradually sealing his magic circuits.

One is one of the three high priests of the Bysma Church, and the other is the leader of the Radiant Moon Knights.

Regardless of who it is, they are all stronger than Spencer, who was brutally killed by Ars.

With both attacking simultaneously, Ars was overwhelmed and injured repeatedly, seemingly being completely suppressed.

At the same time, another thirty members of the Radiant Moon Knights surrounded and attacked Dunn and Bane!

Bane, who had been lying on the ground barely alive, was suddenly lifted up as if by something. His eyes were bloodshot, his muscles bulged, and he was uttering incomprehensible words.

Despite his mediocre magical talent, Bane fearlessly charged forward against thirty agile and powerful members of the Radiant Moon Knights!

For a time, the fight was evenly matched!

Two members were pierced through the chest and died instantly. Two more members had their hands broken and were kicked away.

As the two members were devoured by Dunn, the thick and pure magic power almost caused his rotting body to fall off completely!

Only large patches of decay remained on his face!

We are just one step away from a full recovery.

Just then, the magic circle in the sky, which had been brewing for a long time, emitted a strong light!

Orina brandished her scepter, then slammed it into the ground with a low shout!

The purest and most brilliant light poured down from the magic circle like a waterfall!

The Knights members, along with Shug and Lydia, immediately dispersed!

The radiance struck Ars and Dunn squarely!

The entire empire could see this divine light of punishment descending from the heavens.

But before the light faded, Ars's signature maniacal laughter emanated from within.

"Hahaha!"

"Is this the light of divine punishment? How laughable, how laughable!"

"It's just a tickle!"

"Olina, it seems you are not as powerful as others say."

The light faded, and Ars stood unharmed in the same spot.

However, this was not because the power of the Divine Punishment Light was too weak; the real reason lay in the Blood-Eyed Greatsword in his hand.

During battle, the Blood Eye Greatsword can absorb the blood of its enemies and store it in its Blood Eye.

In subsequent battles, if the user suffers a fatal blow, as long as they still have a breath left, Blood Eye can heal the user back to health.

Moreover, while healing the user's injuries, the blood stored in the Blood Eyes can also temporarily enhance the user's abilities and magic power.

The most fatal flaw is that this kind of improvement... has no upper limit.

Only when the battle ends, the bloodshed dissipates, and everything returns to calm will this amplification gradually fade away and eventually return to normal levels.

The Blade of Slaughter, truly deserving of its name.

They exist solely for the purpose of better killing.

Shug and Lydia are among the strongest on the continent. As soon as the light faded, they immediately noticed that Ars's magic power had increased significantly.

They exchanged glances.

This man's strength has increased!

The next instant, Ars launched an attack.

He exuded a thick aura of blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was ferocious.

"Ladies!"

"That's enough fun!"

Ars was so fast that even Sugar couldn't catch a glimpse of him. It wasn't until the greatsword appeared right in front of him that he finally reacted and hurriedly dodged.

However, this attack was just a feint.

The lightning-attribute Shug is not only fast and strong, but also has a very abundant magical energy reserve.

On the other hand, Lydia, though not weak, is destined to have a slow magical response speed due to her earth-attribute magic.

This is a good starting point!

After missing his target with a single blow, Ars first used the pillar of fire to temporarily trap Shug, and then without pausing, he made a sharp turn and pounced on Lydia, who was not far away!

Lydia reacted quickly as well.

He retracted his sword whip, held it horizontally in front of him, and continued to retreat.

At the same time, the ground beneath Ars's feet became soft and muddy due to earth magic!

However, this method only reduced Ars's speed to a very limited extent. His sword still carried an unstoppable momentum, heading straight for Lydia's neck!

Unfortunately, Ars's judgment was inaccurate.

Admittedly, as an earth-elemental mage, Lydia's magical influence is the slowest among the seven elements.

However, she is the leader of the Moonlit Knights.

And how could the leader of the Radiant Moon Knights, who are skilled in assassination and infiltration, be an easy target?

Ars's attack objective was too obvious.

Lydia stomped her foot on the ground, and the earth instantly began to tremble!

Without Lydia and Ars making any other movements, the distance between them suddenly began to stretch and grow!

At the same time, eighteen enormous stone gates rose from the ground!

Ars quickly changed his position, but the stone gate also rotated around Lydia as the center, continuing to aim at Ars!

The reliefs on the stone gate depict ferocious demons!

Like a gateway to hell, it was sinister and terrifying.

Seeing that he could not escape, Ars charged straight at him.

but,

Something strange has happened!

The moment Ars passed through one stone gate, the distance to the next stone gate began to increase once again!

The surrounding scenery stretched infinitely into the distance.

At the same time, the relief on the stone gate that Ars had just passed through also changed to Ars's appearance.

Ars had no time to think. He continued to draw blood from his blood-red eyes to enhance his speed and accelerate forward!

As he passed through the second door, everything around him stretched out into the distance once more!

Lydia, whom he was about to catch, was now a thousand meters away from him!

All that remained in my field of vision was a small, blurry human figure.

In the end what happened!

Ars's previous arrogance vanished, replaced by incomprehension and confusion.
