Age of Adepts

1516 Chapter 1516 - Seeking Life in Death

Being a great wizard was not supposed to be that easy to die from.

After all, witches were protected by too many strange sorceries of damage transfer or alternate death. Even in the face of certain death, they had a great deal of means to survive in death.

But these were useless in front of a killing god.

It seemed that the gigantic double-sided axe, which was hideous in appearance and filled with an air of killing and destruction, possessed the terrifying effect of annihilating souls. All the witches struck by the giant axe, while their bodies burst, their souls could not escape, and could only become the bloody sacrifice of the other side in a miserable howl.

Inevitable, Body Splitting, Soul Annihilation....

Not to mention, just by sight, Grim was able to tell the three rule characteristics of the giant axe in one breath. The rule characteristics that he didn't know about, let alone the mortality it hid.

Colin the Great Sorcerer, being a Body Refining Sorcerer, already possessed an immortal body, yet in front of that giant axe, he was killed and shattered by an axe without even a chance to resist....

The second unlucky ritual was the Great Wizard of Sara.

Seeing Colin's miserable state, the Great Wizard of Sara had actually swiftly fled far away.

But unfortunately, he apparently hadn't run fast enough, nor had he escaped far enough!

The giant axe pierced through the sky, breaking through the void, and nailed down the back of the Great Wizard of Sara across a distance of more than ten miles. The sorcery shield, elemental barrier, magical protection, and even the rule barrier were all punctured in front of the old and austere axe like a soap bubble.

As soon as the giant axe slashed him, the body of the Great Wizard of Sara split apart like a prisoner of five horses. And his soul didn't even have time to howl before it was directly swallowed by the giant axe.

In mid-air, a clatter of scattered flesh and broken witch robes spilled into the sky, with broken witchcraft ornaments and two or three items that shone with a strong magical aura mixed in.

The Great Sorcerer of Sara had fallen!

Recalling the giant axe through the air, that tall orc swept his eyes across the room and swiftly locked onto the only two remaining great wizard figures.

Grim and Rick.

As for the 6th ranked Grand Sorcerer Brielle, the moment the tall orc showed up, he had already escaped without hesitation.

Both Grim and Rick, however, had tripped over their own opponents and had yet to escape a hundred miles away at this point. However, they had split up and fled, and were now nearly a hundred miles away from the Orcs' main temple.

Once they exceeded a hundred miles and left the added range of the Orc Lord's Temple, this Killing God, Garon Arcadas, who suddenly appeared as a deity himself, would not be able to maintain the power of a 7th rank True God, and would also be strongly suppressed by the bit rule system.

Therefore, both Grim and Rick, the two great sorcerers, were playing the game of flight, doing their best to rush towards that line of life and death!

Killing Garon frowned slightly.

Mile 86 and Mile 93.

The two remaining Grand Sorcerers were already close to the limit of Gion's divine attack, and at their speed, it looked like only one more would be left.

With a sweep of his eyes, Galleon swiftly locked onto Grim.

It couldn't be helped, who let Grim have a sudden burst of power before leaving, but he had spiked an Earth Prophet in such a short amount of time. An Earth Prophet who was at the 5th level and had opened his spiritual wisdom was nothing, but such an action still exposed his great fighting potential.

The other Riker Grand Sorcerer, on the other hand, had inflicted a meager amount of damage on the Dark Demon Dragon....

As soon as the two phases were contrasted, Galleon, the 7th Order Killing God, didn't hesitate to aim his third and final target at Grim.

Exhaling with a hey sound and straining his wrists, Galleon took a throwing stance, and the giant double-sided axe immediately broke through the void and swiftly chased after Grim.

Grim, who was still flying rapidly over the Central Mountain Range, was suddenly chilled physically and mentally, while the chip in his mind immediately sent out a miserable and sharp alarm.

"Warning, warning, perception of strange divine mind lock...attack will arrive in 1, 27 seconds!"

"Can it be defended?" Grim communicated swiftly with the chip in his mind.

"With the sorcery protection and rule power that this body currently possesses, it is unable to resist this level of the Lord's Artifact... Once the Lord's Artifact attacks this body, the survival rate of this body is zero..."

"Run for your life with a flame billet?"

"Ineffective!"

"Flame jumping?"

"Ineffective!"

"The Book of Filth and Darkness and the Fire God Pearl together to block?"

"Ineffective!"

"Don't tell me it's ineffective, tell me a way or means by which I can live!"

"Rules Fusion!"

"Rules fusion? You've parsed all the knowledge of rule moving?"

"Rule move parsing progress 31%... The current knowledge possessed is not yet sufficient to support the subject to perform a complete rule move. However, it is barely enough to allow the subject to perform a limited rule fusion... However, forcing rule fusion will bring extremely serious consequences to the subject, so please be careful!"

"Prudence my ass...I'm dying now, what's the point of thinking about the aftermath not the aftermath...immediately...immediately ...Now...just give me the rules fusion!" Grim issued the last order almost as a roaring rage.

Although he didn't hear any wind or perceive any foreign objects approaching, Grim's soul was inexplicably frantic. He had vaguely sensed the approach of death, and could even detect the murderous brutality on the blade of that giant axe.

The hidden Book of Filth and Darkness and Fire God Pearl within Grim, who was running for his life, gushed out rule power beyond its limits and quickly filled his entire body.

In the next second, Grim's body, which was flying swiftly in the high altitude, suddenly paused for a moment, then continued to fly away at an extraordinary speed.

The one who was standing silently before the Orc Lord's Temple, Garm Ug, raised his head, and his fierce and cruel eyes fell through space somewhere in the distance.

There, just now, that unassuming little wizard had used some sort of means to get rid of the Deity's divine lock, disappearing for a brief, microscopic moment.

"Integrate yourself into the rules of the bit plane system and use the bit plane system to evade the divine mind lock?" Garon's ugly, hideous face smiled fiercely, "Dare to play this game in front of me, looking for death!"

And 97 miles away, the giant double-sided axe that flew out of the void and passed straight through the void of Grim's soul apparently didn't strike the other party's original body.

However, with a muffled grunt from that distant Grim, the giant double-sided axe suddenly erupted with a powerful and incomparable divine power ripple, shattering and messing up all the bit rules within a radius of dozens of miles.

On the other hand, the Grim who had forcefully incorporated the means into the rules emerged out of the void covered in blood. Being forced out of the rule system by the disordered rule power had already caused him to suffer unspeakable horrific injuries.

The surface of his body was still intact, but everything inside had been turned upside down. All the flesh, blood, tendons, veins, and organs were no longer in their original locations, but randomly appeared in any number of places within his body.

This might not be considered terrifying, but what was terrifying was that every bit of flesh and blood, every piece of skin was imbued with the power of the twisted and alienated rules. The current Grim, if it wasn't for the protection of the Book of Filth and Darkness and the Fire God Pearl, which kept his soul from being disordered, he would have been completely alienated into a pile of flesh and blood monsters that had lost their minds.

A hundred miles away, that 7th Order Killing God Galleon who was standing in front of the Orc Lord's Temple reached out to catch the giant axe that had returned in response to the call. Sensing the breath of life that had suddenly appeared again a hundred miles away, the Gion's eyes snapped and an appalled expression appeared on his face.

"Not dead? How is that possible? A little sorcerer of no more than 5th level was able to escape my rule strangulation? That's impossible!" Garon was also appalled.

Honestly, with his battle power of a 7th rank True God, it was still a handy way to kill a few low ranked witches with a casual chop. Therefore, that axe strike just now, Gion really didn't pay too much attention to it.

Even when that little wizard behind us integrated into the rules, Gion didn't pay too much attention to it, and still just dispatched it with his bare hands.

Therefore, when that little sorcerer's soul breath resurfaced, even Gion was a little appalled. And just as it tried to re-lock the opponent's breath, that little worm had already escaped from the divine Mind's locking range without hesitation.

Such a bizarre change made Garon a little irritated as well.

Damn it, these little bugs from the wizard civilization sure were all crafty, so that they could all get away with it.

Garon's face couldn't help but gloom.

On the back side, the beast high priest who had weakened to the point of weakness, and who was strong enough to lean on his thin body and lean on his wooden staff to step out from the palace, knelt down in sincere fear.

"Garon Great God, it was my subordinate's incompetence in not blocking the witches' attacks that forced you to reveal your true form. This is my subordinate's sin, please lower your punishment!"

Garon didn't turn back, but swept his eyes around the devastated and devastated Central Mountain Range. Several great sorcerers had joined forces to attack and fight, also bringing an unimaginable and terrifying disaster to this sacred land of Orcs.

Even with Galleon's powerful divine mind, he could sense the miserable and dying life near the Orc Shrine. It was a fluke that half of the original 300,000 orc elite of the Central Mountain Range remained after this calamity.

The orc elite here are all devout believers of the deity!

As one of the only seven Faith Places in Galleon, such a loss was devastating, and would also have some impact on its divine power supply.

If it was a normal moment, it might have been able to make up for it in time. But at this juncture of intense struggle with the witches, a weakened divine power was not a good omen!

Garon's face was as pale as ever, and he said sternly, "This time it's not your fault, but a conspiracy by the witches. The Panda Plane is under siege by the witches, and I've taken the time to rush back, so I must rush back now. Those few remaining sorcerers, you must hurry up and gather your strength to drive them out. Remember, make sure to guard this temple, I will leave the projection here for a while..."

The Beast High Priest hurriedly lay down on the ground, terrified to respond to the order.

The Pandar Position... that seemed to be the origin of the God of Hatred, Ernus!

If something were to happen there, Ernus wouldn't be a matter of losing one or two bilocations, but rather a big event where the Gion's original body and the Gion's divine kingdom could fall.

If we go by this analysis, it seems a bit of a diversion for these great sorcerers to run and attack the Mutas bit, though!
