CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 331: INVINCIBLE EMILY (REQUEST FOR MONTHLY TICKET)

Above the sky, Lette’s divine sense swept over the entire First Empire Capital time and again.

But the result was that there were almost no life forms with high magic power reactions in the city.

This meant that there were basically no people in the city who could be considered as mages.

This surprised Lette, since according to his prior calculations, the mages from the Truth Workshop should have been driven into the Imperial City, preparing for a last-ditch stand.

But why had this group disappeared entirely?

Not only them, even the Imperial Palace within the Imperial City was utterly empty.

The nobles inside the palace, even the soldiers responsible for guarding it, had all vanished.

"Hiss... Could it be!"

Lette’s gaze cast downward, landing on the Sky Sage.

He exuded an unknown evil, with a soul power that was extremely full and heavy, not at all like someone who had just resurrected from the Nether Beach!

"Joanna, Joanna!"

"Lette, I’m here."

Lette established a link with Joanna using the Holy Prayer Technique: "Check if just now, at the First Empire Capital location, any dead spirits went towards the Nether Sea or Nether Beach."

After a quiet moment, Joanna’s voice once again sounded in Lette’s ear.

"No, not a single one."

Lette frowned deeply: "Then... I’m afraid it’s not good."

The people disappeared, but no souls went to the Netherworld, which could only mean that their souls had become sacrifices or sustenance for the Sky Sage’s resurrection.

The time when the Three Great Sages were at their strongest was merely at the Legendary Peak.

Now that he is resurrected, not only has his strength not declined, it has even increased?

This could only be the reason.

"Such a ruthless move, not even sparing his own people."

Lette was somewhat speechless, still expecting to settle accounts with these bastards after the city fell.

But the other party’s leader had taken care of it beforehand.

The roaring sound resounded as Emily swung her crowbar, launching an attack.

But her attacks were mostly evaded by the enemy.

How to attack an enemy who could manipulate space at will was a difficult question.

Emily tried many ways but was unsuccessful.

Neither energy nor matter could attack the opponent’s body. Moreover, the opponent’s abilities were unaffected by the effects of Mad Elemental City.

At the same time, the Sky Sage could build various magic arrays around himself using pre-prepared casting materials.

Even facing Demon Extermination Witch Emily, he handled it with ease.

Fortunately, Emily’s domain also greatly restricted the opponent.

No matter how powerful the Sky Sage’s magic was, it couldn’t have any effect within the domain.

Only his adept space magic could pose a threat to Emily.

The two quickly entered a stalemate, with Emily’s spiritual power being overwhelmingly strong, suppressing the opponent from extending his Holy Domain.

The Sky Sage was limited in his methods if he only used space magic.

Moreover, her beast-like intuition, combined with the absolute speed brought by the Wind and Thunder Zone, made space magic repeatedly fail.

Neither could do anything to the other, and it seemed like they were just going to keep at it.

The Sky Sage was also very frustrated, feeling that after his return to the world, with the blessing of the powerful Evil God,

he could finally take revenge and settle scores with the enemies who once destroyed the Tower of Truth one by one.

With his backer, not even the Holy Light Goddess was worth mentioning.

However, he never expected that his first battle after resurrection would end up so disgracefully against a little girl.

All his methods were rendered useless, and he was even in a suppressed state.

Space magic must always be on the defensive; a moment of neglect could provide the opponent an opportunity for a powerful strike.

Moreover, this girl was just an individual combatant under that Holy Sin’s command.

At this thought, the Sky Sage felt a chill run down his spine, his hopes for revenge dimmed.

Before his resurrection, he thought it was his disciples and followers who were too weak. A mere Holy Knight, a mortal, how strong could they be?

Yet after fighting Emily, he realized things were not as he imagined.

Damn it, hadn’t he just been dead for a hundred years?

A hundred years ago, the Holy Light Church had to gather the strength of the entire Continent to barely contend with the Tower of Truth.

He alone had fought against several Legendary Strongmen before being killed by a sinister plot.

But now, he appeared so incompetent!?

"Enough! You’re forcing my hand!"

The Sky Sage could no longer endure this humiliation, enveloping himself with space magic, gathering a mass of blue-black light at the head of his Divine Staff.

So dirty, so evil, so ominous.

Emily shuddered all over, instinctively distancing herself.

She recognized this power; it was the same Power of Corruption that permeated the Holy Light Cathedral during that time.

"Let everything, including your soul, turn into pus!"

The Sky Sage grasped with one hand, and the Power of Corruption exploded instantly, staining everything around in a blue-black hue.

Everything began to corrode under this power, and Emily tried to escape, but heard the Sky Sage’s laughter from behind.

"Hahaha, it’s useless! I am the Sky Sage, did you think you could escape?"

In the next moment, the surrounding space twisted and distorted continuously.

Though Emily had already escaped the range of the blue-black light, in a moment of distraction, she found herself once again within the coverage of the Power of Corruption.
