Chapter 557: Chapter 75 Anvis’s Combat Skills
The spatial interference within the Radiant Secret Realm was intense, and Anvis was unable to open the half-plane pocket dimension to gather people for Fidels the Great Emperor’s treasure.
But relying on the omnipotent Magic, he still thought of a solution.
‘Group Shrinking Technique—’
As a pinch of Inversion Sand dissipated from Anvis’s hand, the radiance of Magic suddenly flickered among the crowd.
To avoid premature exposure, Anvis utilized the skill of silent casting and enhanced the Spell with Magic Extreme Effect and Spell Range Extension.
The people surrounding the altar hadn’t reacted yet when their bodies uncontrollably and rapidly began to shrink, and then Anvis swiftly captured them with replacement Magic, stowing them inside a special Sealing Box.
That was a common tool used by the Summoning School, usually for sealing large-sized or numerous freshly caught wild Magic Beasts.
Attached to it were various types of suppression and Sealing Class Magic, which could make the contained summons fall into a state of slumber and seal, preventing them from slaughtering each other.
If the crowd were in their normal state, Anvis’s magic would definitely not be this effective.
But after they were controlled by the Priest, not only was their Will almost gone, they were continuously being drained of Destiny Power by the Green Flame, leaving nearly everyone in a severely weakened state.
The most crucial point was that after being sneak attacked and controlled by the Priest, the various magical defense artifacts of the crowd were almost completely destroyed, leaving their resistance to Anvis’s Magic almost non-existent.
As Anvis released his Spell, the Priest instantly sensed the anomaly, swung his Magic Wand to mobilize the Divine Power within the Domain, and took control of everyone present, attempting to disrupt Anvis’s actions.
But since Anvis had seized the initiative, at least half of the people were successfully rescued by him.
Due to the battle for power between Anvis and the Priest, many ‘materials’ were lost, and the Green Flame at the core of the altar ceased its pulsing, causing the progress of the ritual to stall.
“Despicable Blasphemers, your soul shall be eternally scorched by the divine flames!”
Noticing this, the Priest’s face darkened, and as his words fell, a ghostly green Divine Power Flames ignited on Anvis’s body.
Unlike ordinary flames, this type of flame cannot be extinguished, because its essence is still Alien Divine Power in the form of flames, which can only be countered by an equal Level of power.
Anvis is not truly a Ninth Rank, and confronting it with his own Magic Power would be very costly. But for this, he had another way to cope.
A pane of pale white crystalline Shield materialized around his body. The ghostly green divine fire scorched its surface but could not penetrate this crystalline shield.
The power of Rai’s Egg Shell shared some origins with the power of this green flame, and it happened to be just the right defense for the moment.
“Is it you? You dare show up here?!”
Seeing the white crystalline shield, the Green Flame at the heart of the altar throbbed violently, conveying a Revelation to the Priest’s mind, catching him by surprise.
Once back in the Main Material World, the Divine wanted to meet this person in person, dead or alive.
A strong feeling named ‘jealousy’ welled up inside the Priest, sensing the astonishing Strength of this uninvited guest, further souring his mood.
In fact, the Priest himself was not adept at combat; he simply relied on the high Level of Divine Power and the formidable power of the Old God’s Favored to crush his enemies.
Logically, with Ninth Rank beings unable to enter the Radiant Secret Realm, these two tricks should suffice to crush anyone.
But unfortunately for the Priest, at the moment his followers were entangled with many descendants of the Nobles, and his Divine Power Domain was unknowingly breached, especially by a monster like Anvis with formidable Strength and even more powerful equipment, leaving the Priest in an awkward situation.
Originally, he had planned to delay time by relying on his many followers until the ritual was complete and the divine returned. Then, he would sacrifice everyone in the secret realm to the ‘divine’ so the divine could quickly regain their strength.
But now, most of the ‘materials’ needed for the ritual were stolen by Anvis, and the remaining part was not enough to support the completion of the ritual, which caused time to be on Anvis’s side.
It was already too late to transform followers on-site, and Anvis was surely not going to stand by and watch his actions. And if it’s just him versus Anvis one-on-one, the Priest had no confidence in quickly taking down the opponent.
“Repent your sins in despair——”
Seeing the current situation clearly, the Priest’s expression turned fierce as he continued to launch attacks on Anvis while decisively issuing a recall order to the three strongest followers on the sixth level, ready for a desperate fight.
Although the loss of these three followers would rapidly worsen the situation on the sixth level.
But the ritual is the core of everything. He would rather sacrifice himself here than accept the consequences of a failed ritual.
At this moment, Anvis was not in a hurry. He had already saved the target he intended to save, and the actions of the Priest had been thwarted by him.
At that moment, as he opened his protection shield and dodged around, he also took the opportunity to cast a few spell attacks toward the direction of the remaining people.
He made it look as if he couldn’t rescue the remaining people, he would just kill them on the spot, forcing the Priest to expend energy to defend.
The people he had saved before were carefully selected by him, and were basically the descendants of the Four Great Families and those close to the Four Great Families.
Seeing the Priest’s frantic and panicky appearance, it seems that he was running out of time to complete the ritual, how pitiful——
However, Anvis didn’t get to relax for long before reinforcements for the Priest finally arrived through the passage at the side of the high tower.
With the addition of three followers who were burning with green Divine Power Flames and whose strength was infinitely close to the Ninth Rank entering the battle, Anvis finally found himself in a tough fight.
Unlike those low-level bizarre creatures, these true followers possess intellect not inferior to that of humans, as well as a combat talent akin to instinct.
The three followers each have different core abilities: the giant clump naturally carries a powerful Spiritual Assimilation Field; the giant nest spider can release Mucus webs and a multitude of tiny spiders capable of corroding magic power; the Decomposing Giant Dragon possesses the ability to cast Divine-Class Magic.
Anvis once tried to use his Force Field Control Ability to forcibly split the battlefield and quickly kill the seemingly frail giant spider, but was desperately hindered by the other two followers and the Priest striking from a distance, ultimately without success.
Gradually, Anvis inevitably began to fall into a disadvantage. Being attacked by four entities between the eighth and ninth levels, even he couldn’t withstand it.
The Ancient Secret Scripture had no effect on the Priest’s strength, Anvis had some vague guesses about the reason, but now was not the time to delve deeply into it.
Watching the battle unfolding, the Priest’s expression gradually became complex. Anvis appeared to be in grave danger, as if just a little more effort would completely rob him of his ability to fight.
But at every critical moment, he would always pull out a one-time-use mysterious object or attacking item with the power of the Ninth Rank, directly blocking the attack or forcibly repelling the attacking followers, resolving the crisis.
In just half a spell’s time, Anvis had thrown out dozens of one-time-use mysterious items of the Ninth Rank. The Priest’s mentality also changed from contempt and regret to surprise and impatience, and finally to numbness.
He had originally planned to gather the strongest forces to crush Anvis, take back the ritual materials, and then figure out how to deal with the attacks of the many noble offspring.
But what he never expected was that after a long fight, Anvis still appeared to be in ‘grave danger,’ while the three followers had all sustained unclear injuries.
If the Priest still couldn’t understand that he was being played by Anvis, then he no longer needed to conduct the summoning ritual, and he should just apologize to the divine.
Just at this moment, footsteps could be heard again in the corridor leading to the sixth level. The Third Princess-Starlight, wielding a long-handled Magic Wand, led a group that had finally broken through the entire sixth level, emerging from the gate.
The reinforcements that Anvis had been waiting for, had finally arrived.
