Wizard Immortal

Chapter 744 Backstab

"you……"

Upon seeing Adir suddenly appear before him, the old man was startled and instinctively wanted to say something.

On the spot, a silver longsword swung down, unleashing an unparalleled sword aura in an instant.

Streaks of silver light flickered in place, and a silvery glow enveloped everything.

The place was shrouded in silver sword energy, and everything around was invisible except for a pure life energy that flickered and enveloped the old man in front of him.

A boundless sword aura erupted, and endless power permeated the area. A void was blasted into the place, and in an instant, it seemed as if everything had disappeared, leaving only the pure true spiritual power surging forward.

The old man's aura vanished completely in an instant, replaced by the aura of the golden semi-divine artifact.

At the most crucial moment of Adir's attack, the old man made a decisive move, using the power of that golden semi-divine artifact to conceal himself and completely envelop the power displayed by Adir.

Then everything before my eyes began to vanish.

The power of the rules was distorted, and all matter was destroyed layer by layer under that sharp sword energy, collapsing directly from the most basic structure, leaving no trace.

This is an attack that goes straight to the source. Under Adir's sword, no matter how strong or tenacious you are, you will be directly shattered from the most basic structure. Even a single cell or a drop of blood can be cut off without leaving a trace.

It can be said that, based solely on the power of this sword strike, no one present could withstand it head-on.

The old man in front of them was undoubtedly not capable of that either.

The power of the golden semi-divine artifact roared. At this moment, the golden semi-divine artifact howled, as if sensing the terrifying power contained in this sword, its divine essence was reviving and roaring.

A tremendous power was reviving, and terrifying divine power emerged from that golden semi-divine artifact.

A golden figure faintly appeared, transforming into the strongest barrier to block Adir's sword.

The two forces then began to collide.

Everything was approaching nothingness.

The place in front of them turned into nothingness. Around them, a crack appeared in space, a node created by the sword strike. It emerged and spread outwards continuously.

"Did it work?"

Kudoni and the others wavered slightly, their eyes filled with concern as they gazed at the sword strike that Adir had unleashed before them.

Without a doubt, this sword strike was extremely important.

As the leader of the Sun King priests present, the old man's importance was self-evident.

He was not only the strongest warrior on the battlefield besides Adir, but also the leader of the Sun King's priests. In terms of both status and strength, he was undoubtedly number one.

It can be said that once the opponent is defeated, the battle will be mostly over.

Without the opponent's control, the solar artifact in the void will also lose its controller, and this battle can end directly.

As for the subsequent counterattack by the Church of the Sun King, that's a story for another time.

With the power accumulated by the Church of Darkness over the years, they could simply hide in the deep mountains and forests. Relying on the divine power of the Lord of Darkness, no matter how strong the enemy was, how could they possibly find them?

If I can't beat you, can't I at least avoid you?

Before everyone's eyes, that faint glow gradually disappeared, and the presence within it was gradually revealed.

As the crowd watched, the old man's figure gradually came into view.

He is still alive, having withstood Adir's blow head-on, demonstrating incredible resilience.

However, there is no doubt that even though he is not dead, he is in a very bad state after taking Adir's sword head-on.

His body began to crack, covered with countless wounds, as if he had been torn apart in an instant, with not a single part of his body intact.

Pale golden divine blood flowed continuously from his body. At this moment, his aura suddenly weakened to the extreme, falling from near the peak of the mythical realm back to the legendary realm.

The power that had been barely increased by the blessing of the semi-divine artifact has been completely destroyed, and now it can barely maintain the power of the legendary peak.

This force, though still powerful, could still suppress 99% of those present, even after suffering heavy losses.

However, facing Adir in front of him, this level of strength was simply like throwing an egg against a rock, and it was impossible to confront him head-on as before.

The old man clearly understood this principle as well.

He gasped for breath, raising his head to look at Adir before him. His deep eyes seemed to be trying to convey something unreadable: "You actually..."

A hoarse and weak voice echoed from the spot.

The old man looked extremely weak at this moment, and even his voice had become extremely hoarse, lacking the confidence he had before.

His face still bore a deep look of disbelief.

Perhaps he didn't expect that Adir would be able to do this, forcefully knocking him down from mid-air and turning him into what he is now.

Once this victory is confirmed and spread, it will surely make Adir famous throughout the continent.

A Sun King priest whose strength had reached the pinnacle of the mythological realm was actually knocked down by Adir in a direct confrontation and fell directly to the ground.

This event is a momentous one, worthy of being recorded in epic history, even though it has been passed down through the ages.

It can be said that after this night, Adir's reputation on the continent will surely spread even further.

"Leaving now leaves room for maneuver..."

On the other side, Kudoni slowly walked forward and looked at the old man who was now weak and frail, and spoke to him.

He didn't want to push things too far.

This is not because he doesn't want to, but because of rational considerations.

The old man before them was a priest of the Church of the Sun King. Killing him would mean a fight to the death with the Church of the Sun King.

Although the current situation may seem similar, it is different in a way.

Even if they are both locked in a life-or-death struggle, there is still a difference in their strengths and weaknesses.

As a church left behind by the supreme god, the Church of the Sun has existed on the continent for a long time and has made many enemies, not just the Church of Darkness.

If the old man before them is not killed, the Church of the Sun King will be hostile to the Church of Darkness, but under the current circumstances, it will be impossible for them to send too many forces to suppress him.

But if the old man in front of you is killed, the situation will be different.

Killing the priest of the Sun King is the greatest provocation.

Even if the Church of the Sun King is concerned about its own reputation, it will inevitably fight the Church of Darkness to the death. At that time, the forces it sends out will be vastly different from those before.

Now that the Lord of Darkness has successfully revived, Kudoni cannot take this risk.

Ultimately, now that the Lord of Darkness has successfully revived, the most urgent task is to help him grow stronger and regain his former power.

Once the Lord of Darkness has fully recovered and regained his former strength, then everything will be much easier.

When that time comes, a true god will descend, and there will be no need to worry about the attitude of the Church of the Sun King.

However, we still need to consider this now.

The old man slowly raised his head.

He gazed at Cudoni in the distance, listening to his words in silence for a long time without uttering a sound.

Rationally speaking, he understood that leaving was the best option for him at that moment.

At this moment, with his defeat by Adir, the power of the Sun King's priests has been reduced to its limit.

Without his control as the high priest, the power of the Sun Artifact will be further reduced, and in the end, it will probably be suppressed by that constantly resurrecting Dark Eye.

The same thing happened on the battlefield below.

He was no match for Adir before him, even when he was under various enhancements, let alone now that his aura had dropped to its limit.

Behind him, although there were more than a dozen sun priests whose level had reached legendary, they were nothing to Adir.

Given their strength, it wouldn't take them long to kill these sun priests.

It would probably be much easier than chopping vegetables or cutting watermelons.

At the very least, if you want to cut a watermelon or chop some vegetables, you'll need a kitchen knife.

Adir could kill them without any trouble; it would only take him a flick of his finger.

"good……"

His expression remained calm for a moment, then he sighed and finally said, "Let's go..."

As the old man finished speaking, some unusual movements occurred among the dozen or so sun priests.

However, their excellent training meant they didn't say anything, but simply watched the old man in front of them in silence, silently obeying his decision.

A young man dressed in a golden robe, who looked no different from the other priests, stepped forward and helped the old man.

"This time, I lost..."

The old man gazed ahead, at Kudoni and the baby in Hilna's arms, and sighed deeply, feeling somewhat lost.

The incarnation of the Lord of Darkness is of great significance to the Church of the Sun King.

This is not only the first truly descending deity of this era, but also a deity involved in the realm of light.

Originally, if he had obtained the reincarnation of the Dark Lord, the Sun King's recovery process would have been greatly accelerated.

Now, with the intervention of that mythical knight, this plan has undoubtedly failed.

It's even unlikely in the future.

With a powerful knight who has reached the pinnacle of mythology standing there, anyone who wants to cause trouble for the Church of Darkness should first consider whether their claws are strong enough.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but sigh, feeling a profound sense of loss.

puff……

A soft sound rang out from the spot, a sound like the crisp sound of a long sword piercing flesh.

The old man paused, then subconsciously looked up at his chest.

A golden longsword emerged from his chest, stained with pale golden blood.

"This is……"

A faint pain came from my chest.

Feeling the pain and the power constantly fading from his body, the old man turned around with some uncertainty and looked to the side.

Standing beside him now was the golden-robed priest who had come from behind and supported him earlier.

"Kaido, you..."
