Chapter 171 Hassaka: Pierced by Young Master Kael in One Strike (10.2K, 69/76)_3
Before this, Mr. Luxius had said that there was an enemy of his in Muxue Castle, one whom he had remembered for so many years with a heart heavy for revenge, yet whom he hadn't conveniently killed off. This was sufficient to demonstrate the considerable strength of that enemy himself.
And Kael, with information from the future, of course knew that this seaport city housed a god-chosen one.
That was the god-chosen of Yuragalan, the God of Death, and of the half-humans, the Earthly ones.
A seaport city, and not the Royal Capital of the Orean Independent Kingdom, was unlikely to have two such rare and powerful individuals appear in succession. It was highly likely that this god-chosen was the same enemy Mr. Luxius had once had.
On the continent, where the number of races like the half-humans was relatively large but scattered all over the place, the simplest method to fully harness the believers as a resource was to cluster them together.
However, the nature of the half-humans made it difficult for them to gather in one place. The Orean Independent Kingdom was the largest source of faith for the entire half-human divine system, bar none.
For a deity like Yuragalan, it was impossible to occupy a large amount of faith in this kingdom, after all, there were higher gods above him.
If they killed that hidden enemy in the castle, there was a chance it could draw the wrath of Yuragalan, and it was very likely that the deity was currently watching everything unfold from His divine realm.
Hearing Kael bring up the matter of the god-chosen, the expressions of the surrounding mages became a bit more cautious.
Yet, Luxius didn't show much reaction, only saying with a smile, "Regarding our coming to Orean, the gods of the Humans are also aware."
The implication was that this matter also involved the human divine system, and they didn't need to worry so much when taking action.
Kael laughed. With this, even if he accidentally killed him, there would be gods above to take the blame.
The eyelids of the surrounding mages twitched as they found Kael's statement incredibly arrogant.
Upon hearing there was a god-chosen in the castle, their first reaction shifted from capturing all half-humans to capturing all half-humans at the smallest cost.
As for killing a god-chosen… well, that was still pretty tricky!
But at that moment, Kael's indifferent expression didn't seem like a bluff; how could a mere Transcendent dare to speak with such audacity?
Thinking this, they felt their slight fondness for the beautiful boy turn into other speculations...
This child was too arrogant!
"Then, I'll begin!"
After receiving Luxius's affirmative reply, Kael took a calming breath. He already felt he was somewhat unable to control the boiling energy within him. So, he gently flicked his fingertip forward.
Vast mixed energy gathered in front of him.
The System panel began to flash wildly.
All sorts of abnormal statuses surfaced on him, but before they could fully take effect, the unflappable Kael pushed the two energy orbs in his hands forward. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"Lock onto the enemy's position..."
"Activate the Magic Model..."
"Generate a one-time fully automated smart core..."
"Rune operation..."
"Void coordinates locked..."
"Let the bullet fly..."
Kael made a gesture with his hand like firing a handgun and softly said,
"Bang!"
The people around him looked at each other, not understanding what Kael had just done, but in the moment of their hesitation as they considered asking, a brilliant meteor streaked across the sky.
Like the magnificent might of the gods descending from heaven, a terrifying shockwave whipped up a gust of wind, causing the figures of the mages in the sky to sway. Before they could steady themselves, they heard the sound of the water curtain barrier shattering.
The tower that had been releasing energy attacks around it instantly disintegrated from top to bottom. Someone inside the tower bellowed in rage and, wrapped in terrifying energy, charged straight at the falling attack. Yet, less than half a second later, he spewed a mouthful of blood mist and was blasted into the ruins of the tower by the plummeting attack.
From within the Lord Mansion came cries of terror, and the Lord standing by Kael's side looked at the young and handsome boy as if seeing a demon beside him.
And at that moment, Kael, who had penetrated the defense barrier of the Lord Mansion, slowly closed his eyes and dispelled the Magic Light from his body as the dazzling seal of the "Life Treasury" faded atop his head.
"Indeed, storing magic power for just 30 days is still far from enough..." Kael murmured with a sigh, already aware that his recent attack had not killed the god-chosen.
Even though he estimated that the god-chosen now lay in the ruins with hardly any power to resist, the fact that he didn't kill him with a single strike was still disappointing.
"The defensive barrier of Muxue Castle is more formidable than I anticipated..."
Kael's somewhat grumbling comment left everyone not quite knowing what to say.
"Why? Why does the Bell Federation have such a monster?!" the Lord of Muxue Castle said, looking distraught. He hadn't even understood how the defenses of the trusted Lord Mansion had been breached in an instant.
But he knew that his kin, still stubbornly resisting inside the mansion, must be looking utterly despairing now!
However, this group of envoys from the Bell Federation had no thought of stopping now. The moment the water screen barrier vanished, everyone immediately sprang into action.
"Charge with me! Let's see how many heroes these little dwarves have!"
