Chapter 462 - 311: I Will Blaspheme the Pope in the Bright Church Court
"I have to give it back?"
Su Xuan stared at the White Silk in his hand, lost in a brief moment of thought.
He didn’t know its exact purpose, but the White Silk exuded an intoxicating fragrance. If Vanessa weren’t right beside him...
"Hurry up and go in."
Vanessa urged Su Xuan, "That Kaelis girl is already inside, practically bursting with impatience. When she heard the Pope’s summons, she was even more eager than me!"
Vanessa’s words left Su Xuan confused.
He had never met Kaelis, but wasn’t she supposed to be Lucia’s mortal enemy?
Yet, from Vanessa’s description, this Kaelis was an even more fervent believer than she was, which he found rather surprising.
"Go on, hurry!"
Before Su Xuan could give it another thought, Vanessa decisively pushed him into the Land of Light Judgment.
The moment he stepped into the Land of Light Judgment, Su Xuan felt his entire body enveloped in a golden Holy Light. The light was gentle, yet the instant it washed over him, his Perception of Magic Power was completely blocked.
’I really can’t feel any Magic Power at all?’
Su Xuan looked at his hands in surprise. The loss of his Magic Power made him feel unprecedentedly uncomfortable, like a fish out of water that had lost the very Element it needed to survive.
"Hey! Who are you?"
Suddenly, a harsh question reached Su Xuan’s ears.
Su Xuan quickly looked up, his gaze fixed straight ahead.
A woman wearing a vibrant red cape and red-and-white armor appeared in his line of sight.
Her attire caught Su Xuan’s attention. He recognized it at a glance as the uniform of a Light Church Regulator, though it wasn’t the traditional style. It seemed to have been meticulously modified.
Furthermore, she wasn’t wearing the Cross used by Regulators for identification. This was likely because, as a Saintess, she didn’t officially belong to the Regulators’ ranks.
"You’re not from the Bright Church Court? Why are you here?!"
Kaelis’s voice was icy. She gently raised her right hand, and a long spear decorated with a banner materialized in her grip.
Her eyes were wide with fury as she glared at Su Xuan, questioning him harshly, "How dare you trespass in the forbidden grounds of the Bright Church Court? Do you have any idea what crime that is?!"
The moment she spoke, information about her appeared in Su Xuan’s field of vision.
[Kaelis (Legendary)]
Level: 85 (?/76,500)
Race: Human
Power: ? / Agility: ? / Magic Power: ? / Physique: ?
Growth: 12 (Gains 12 points to All Attributes per level)
Skills: (Expand)
Trait: [Saintess] [Celestial Feather Holy Spear]
Status: [Magic Ban]
’Level 85...’
Su Xuan frowned slightly upon seeing Kaelis’s information panel.
Her Level was about what he had expected. Clearly, under normal circumstances, he would be no match for Kaelis.
But now, within this Forbidden Land of Magic, it would all come down to a test of pure physical strength.
However, he was given no time to prepare. Kaelis’s body shot forward, charging at him.
Her speed was like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Su Xuan.
Her spear tore through the air, trailing a dazzling red glint as it stabbed precisely toward Su Xuan’s right arm.
In that split second, Su Xuan reacted instantly, activating his Half-Dragon Transformation. Crimson Dragon Scale Armor covered his entire body in a flash.
Although he hadn’t been able to bring Mare Rhine with him, he had borrowed a portion of the Destructive Giant Dragon’s Power before setting out.
The effect was the same as when he used Fusion, but this Power would only last for half an hour—
CLANG!
The tip of the spear collided with the Dragon Scales, producing a deafening clang of metal on metal.
Kaelis’s terrifying Power forced Su Xuan back several steps, and a small hole even appeared on the Dragon Scale that had taken the hit.
’So strong!’
After steadying himself, Su Xuan’s expression instantly turned grim.
He hadn’t expected Kaelis’s physical strength to be even greater than he’d imagined. Even in this Forbidden Land of Magic, her power was far superior to his.
Kaelis, however, did not press her attack. She quickly retreated a few steps, her expression grave as she watched Su Xuan from a distance.
She was just as shocked. This was the first time she had ever seen a Half-Dragon-man clad in Dragon Scale Armor. Just a second ago, this man had clearly been human!
A human who could transform into a Half-Dragon-man in an instant was extremely rare on the entire Magic Continent.
And now, one had appeared within the forbidden grounds of the Bright Church Court. This forced her to be extremely cautious. ’This man must be an Evil God Cultist,’ she guessed. ’He must be here for some sinister, unspeakable purpose!’
"Who in the world are you?"
Kaelis pointed her spear at Su Xuan again. The banner attached to it swayed gently with her movement, emitting a dazzling red glow.
"Hooo..."
Su Xuan didn’t speak, merely exhaling a long, slow breath. The breath seemed to carry the Power of a Dragon. The Dragon Scales covering his skin flared slightly, releasing wisps of white mist.
Immediately after, a brilliant red light flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes. His massive frame shot toward Kaelis like a cannonball poised to fire...
...
Elsewhere, Lucia sat quietly on a magnificent throne, her slender, jade-like fingers gently toying with a strand of her smooth hair.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in her golden-red eyes, and the corners of her mouth lifted into a playful smirk.
She murmured softly, "Those two have finally started fighting. Still, they’re making quite a racket. It’ll be a problem if they attract those old geezers..."
As her words faded, Lucia moved her fingertips. Golden Magic Power instantly gathered in her palm, then transformed into countless fine, golden threads that spread out silently in all directions.
