"Impossible…" Such a thought appeared in the minds of all the remaining militiamen. They couldn't possibly defeat this monster.

The disparity in strength was too great; they couldn't even clearly see Liens's moving figure.

Fear gradually accumulated, and little by little, under immense terror, someone finally broke.

He let out a loud cry, dropped the longsword in his hand, and turned to flee into the distance.

And then, like a chain reaction,

more militiamen successively dropped their weapons and ran, leaving only a few who still clutched their weapons tightly.

Although they were nervous, and their companions' flight deepened their panic, they never gave up picking up their weapons and launching attacks at Liens.

Though, it had little effect.

But their persistence still allowed them to await the hope of Life.

"Stop!"

"Didn't you hear… I told you to stop!!"

An angry voice resounded on this slaughter field, followed by a massive fireball hurtling towards Liens.

How huge was that fireball? Its diameter was taller than Liens himself.

"So, you've come," Liens thought to himself.

At the same time, he stopped pursuing the militiamen and turned to face the enormous fireball with a serious expression.

Then, he raised the longsword in his hand and swung it forward, charging up power.

Subsequently, the air in front of Liens seemed to be split open, emitting a sharp screeching sound.

Following that, the huge fireball still in mid-air instantly split into two halves, then exploded.

"Boom!"

A fierce wind carrying a heatwave swept over Liens, making his already tattered clothes even more precarious.

It was as if they could leave their owner at any moment, carried away by the wind, pursuing their own freedom.

The sword strike, similar to a sword qi, was an attack Liens formed by using the Wind Element within his body to mobilize the external Wind Element.

It was an attack ability he only gained when the elements within his body reached a certain level, and it was also the result of nearly a month of training in the Monster Forest.

However, while called sword qi, the principle of that strike was actually more like a Wind Blade, just more concentrated and sharper than an ordinary Wind Blade.

Liens looked up into the sky, where an old man with white hair and beard was suspended in mid-air.

With his good eyesight, he could see the staff the other party was raising and the still-angry expression he hadn't put down.

Through Elemental Vision, Liens could see colorful elemental reactions on the old man suspended in the air.

It was somewhat similar to the Elemental Baptism Potion he had seen before.

It was like various elements mixed together but not turning into a single color; instead, they continuously highlighted the characteristics of their respective elements.

"Why are you slaughtering innocent ordinary people? Aren't you afraid of being wanted by the Four Great Powers?"

Realizing that Liens was somewhat difficult to deal with, the old man did not descend from the sky but continued to maintain his magic amplification, questioning Liens.

Liens was also aware of the bounty the old man mentioned.

It was recorded in Lucrezia's notebook—Extraordinary Ones, without special reasons, are not allowed to wantonly kill ordinary people.

Once discovered, they might be placed on the wanted lists of the Four Great Powers and the corresponding national wanted lists.

Although this could not completely stop Extraordinary Ones from harming ordinary people, it did, to some extent, curb the behavior of Extraordinary Ones treating human lives as consumables.

And the so-called Four Great Powers are the forces led by the three True Gods, as well as the Magic Council, which is the strongest force apart from the True Gods.

These forces are the four largest Extraordinary One forces in this world, with branches in almost every country.

Among them, the Adventurers' Association is the most widespread and numerous.

And the wanted lists of the Adventurers' Association are commissions that can be claimed by many Adventurers.

In short, no matter which one Liens offended, he would only be able to continue living off monsters.

Therefore, regarding the old man's question, Liens said directly:

"I'm afraid!"

"But I want to know even more, what exactly is the magic ritual you've set up here?"

"If I don't know, I'll be very uneasy."

"As long as I'm uneasy, I'll want to kill… So, you'd best tell me the full details of this magic ritual, exactly as it is."

Hearing that Liens dared to threaten him, and in such a manner, the old man was so furious his teeth itched, wishing he could use the staff in his hand to poke out his mouth.

To prevent him from uttering such arrogant words again.

"Quickly… otherwise, I'll continue killing. I don't have time to wait for you to slowly consider."

Seeing no reaction from the old man, Liens continued to threaten.

"You!"

The old man's face turned red with anger.

"Nimophila, aren't you going to do something about this situation? He has violated the prohibitions of your Four Great Powers, and there's no sign of remorse whatsoever."

Seeing Liens's arrogant attitude, the old man directly shouted across the air to someone.

He felt that with his own strength, he might not be able to stop Liens from continuing to kill, so he could only call for help.

"Hmm? Is it that unlucky?"

When Liens heard the old man's shout, he immediately felt a bad premonition, feeling that his hopes might be dashed.

"Sigh… The thing I dislike most is fighting and killing."

A gentle voice sounded.

Subsequently, a very beautiful woman with light blue long hair and an exceptionally alluring figure appeared before Liens and slowly walked towards him.

"So, young man, can you just surrender and come with me?" Nimophila said to Liens with a calm expression.

Liens's gaze turned to her, his expression becoming even more serious.

He hadn't even noticed the existence of other Extraordinary Ones around him before.

"Hmm?"

"Are you a Priest?"

Liens frowned and asked Nimophila.

In his Elemental Vision, he didn't perceive any elemental reactions on Nimophila's body.

Excluding the very small possibility that "she is not an Extraordinary One,"

the remaining possibilities were either she was hidden by some alchemy tool or magic, or she was a Priest.

And from the single type of element floating around her body, as well as her delicate appearance,

Liens boldly speculated that she was most likely a Priest.

Why so certain?

This goes back to the characteristics of Priests.

Among the three mainstream professions, the True God's Priest is the most special one. This chapter was uploaded by the team at *.

And what determines this peculiarity is a very special thing the True Gods bestow upon them—Divinity.

Yes, you didn't misread, and you didn't mishear.

It is Divinity.

A high-ranking power that only gods possessed before the War of the Gods.

From this, you can probably slightly understand how special current Priests are.

As for the power of Divinity, it's very simple—elemental control.

Unlike Liens, who indirectly influences external elements through internal elements, and mages through magic power, Priests directly control them.

And the strength of the Divinity within a Priest represents the number of elements they can absolutely control.

Of course, Priests can only absolutely control a single type of element; other elements can only be slightly influenced.

Otherwise, Knights and Mages wouldn't need to fight Priests.

They could just kneel and surrender, making themselves more comfortable.

However, even so, at the same stage, the True God's Priest is still the strongest profession.

And the types of elements they control are related to the True God they follow.

Currently, the elements represented by the three True Gods are Heavenly Light's Light Element, Life's Water Element, and Adventurer's Wind Element, respectively.
