Chapter 89: -77- The Great Knight of Uncertainty and Suspicion

"He’s still alive!"

"How is that possible? His injuries! His injuries are gone!"

As they gazed upon Sebastian, unscathed, the Judgment Knights were utterly astounded.

But soon, they witnessed an even more astonishing scene...

Sebastian took a few steps forward, approaching the still-intact Sealing Divine Technique Judgement Prison, pondered for a few moments, and then reached out a hand, lightly touching it.

At the instant of his contact with the Judgement Prison, which was reputed to be unbreakable from the inside by anyone below Legendary status, it trembled slightly and then suddenly collapsed!

As the Sealing Divine Technique crumbled, the dozen-plus Judgment Priests maintaining the Divine Arts immediately suffered a backlash, their faces simultaneously turning pale.

Blood trickled down from their nostrils and the corners of their mouths. Their bodies went limp, and they collapsed to the ground, falling into unconsciousness.

The expression of the Great Priest became even more solemn.

At the moment Sebastian touched the Judgement Prison, he distinctly felt the power of the Divine Arts being absorbed by the other party.

This discovery shook him greatly.

Because he had never heard of anyone being able to absorb power that had already been released, not even the Holy believers...

Charlotte, observing covertly, understood what was happening.

The Blood Favored possessed the power boost of the Blood Totem, which seemed to be granted randomly, and Sebastian, who had made a pact with her, received the power of "Divine Technique Counter!"

Of course, Sebastian’s "Divine Technique Counter" was a weakened version.

Perhaps because when the pact was made, it was the Holy Royal Court that was pursuing him, the place he resented to the core, his "Divine Technique Counter" was specifically aimed at the power of the Holy Royal Court.

Moreover, his counter was not "modification," but simply "termination."

Despite its weakened state because Sebastian’s strength was far greater than Charlotte’s, the effect of his counter was even better!

What surprised Charlotte even more was that, as Sebastian "terminated" the Judgement Prison, she felt through her connection with him that she had acquired a portion of the power of the Judgement Prison.

It was just like when she had first basked in the Holy Light and sheared the wool of the Holy Royal Court.

However, this indirect shearing was far less effective.

Even so, the Judgement Prison, executed jointly by more than a dozen priests, still managed to significantly increase the progress of her completely reset Blood Summon!

But unlike the previous wool shearing, absorbing the power of the Holy Light this time gave Charlotte a sensation similar to the pleasure of Blood Sucking.

That feeling was as if through the power of the Divine Arts, she was sucking the blood of a deity...

Charlotte felt somewhat astonished.

She didn’t know if this pleasure was something that only came with her advancement, or if it was due to unlocking the ability "True Ancestor Liberation," or perhaps it was because her consciousness had descended upon Sebastian.

But undoubtedly, with this promotion, her body and spirit seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.

It was not a mere advancement, but a deeper, more profound transformation.

Sebastian was also elated.

The most troublesome aspect of the Judgment Knights was their formidable Holy Divine Skill.

As Clergy, the Source Power within their bodies had long merged with the force of their Faith, endowing them with a combat capability far stronger and more enduring than that of ordinary Knights.

However, now that Sebastian had obtained the "Divine Technique Counter" targeting the Holy Royal Court, their power had become a disadvantage.

Even without having recovered to the strength of a Blazing Sun Third Tier, he now felt confident to take on a Great Knight!

At that thought, Sebastian raised his head and looked towards the Great Priest of the Judgement Court.

For many days he had been running, and now... it was finally his turn to strike.

He poured the red wine from his goblet onto the ground, tossed aside the goblet with elegance, and then slightly lifted his right hand.

Where the wine spilled, flames sprang up, and an Elf Sword, seemingly composed of flames, was slowly drawn by Sebastian.

"Fall back!"

As he watched the battle-ready Sebastian, the Great Knight’s expression grew tense, and he ordered the other Clergy.

Although the opponent’s aura was far less powerful than his, his Spiritual Sense told him that the other party was very dangerous right now!

He too drew his Ring Cross silver sword and charged at the other.

The two clashed in battle immediately!

This was Charlotte’s first time witnessing a fight between powerful individuals since her Crossing, and she had the freedom to switch between first-person and third-person perspectives.

On one side was a Blazing Sun Third Tier, described as a walking disaster.

And on the other side, although a Second Tier of the Silver Moon, she had once wielded the power of the Third Tier and possessed the ability to counter enemy Divine Arts.

The Great Knight and Sebastian clashed like two falling stars.

One was golden radiance.

The other, a crimson flame.

The power of the golden radiance was stronger.

Every strike of the Great Knight’s blade left horrific scars hundreds of meters long and several to even over ten meters deep on the ground.

Even as a mere spectator, Charlotte could sense the terrifying power within.

The trees in the forest, fragile as foam, were easily torn to shreds by the aftershocks of the powers, the soil overturning and creating chaos.

One could only be grateful that this place was clearly not within Bold City, but rather outside its walls.

Otherwise... just the aftermath of each clash between them could effortlessly destroy an entire street.

Should the fight continue unabated, without external forces intervening, they could easily lay waste to an entire district!

The golden radiance was overwhelmingly powerful, its brilliance dazzling.

By comparison, the crimson flame seemed much weaker.

However, despite its weakness, it stood firm like a boulder in a raging river, unmoved by the golden light’s assault...

The Great Knight fought with increasing alarm and uncertainty.

Although Sebastian’s aura was far inferior to his own, his Third Tier Blazing Sun power seemed greatly diminished upon striking Sebastian.

What’s worse, when he used Divine Arts, it was like raindrops falling into the sea, incapable of stirring even the slightest ripple...

The power of Divine Arts was ineffective against him!

He was able to counter Divine Arts!

The Great Knight quickly noticed the anomaly.

And this discovery further unsettled him.

Divine Lord above!

Since when did this Flame Elf acquire such a bizarre power?

And what on earth could possibly counter the great Holy Power?

With no feedback from his Divine Arts, the Great Knight couldn’t analyze Sebastian’s power; he felt as though facing an unfathomable abyss that devoured every explorative Divine Art he released during the fight.

The expression of the Great Knight turned more solemn.

After clashing with Sebastian once more, he suddenly retreated, standing far apart from him.

Sebastian’s breathing was also somewhat labored.

Although the "Divine Technique Counter" greatly weakened the Great Knight’s attacks, Sebastian, having lost a Rank, still found it difficult to defeat his opponent, managing only to defend himself.

However, after a bout of entanglement, Sebastian understood his current strength.

He no longer had any desire to fight and planned to disengage and leave.

"Lady Dark Night is still recuperating her power; this is not the time to directly provoke the colossal entity that is the Holy Royal Court."

"With the power to counter Divine Arts, I haven’t exposed Lady Dark Night’s secret, and he can’t fathom my depths..."

"It’s best to take advantage while the going is good and find a way to escape."

Sebastian harbored the intent to retreat.

However, as he raised his head to look at the Great Knight, he suddenly paused, a faint astonishment in his eyes.

The Great Knight was expressionless.

Different from his previous enthusiasm, his gaze now bore a lethal intent towards Sebastian...

"Be it a contract signed with the demons of Hell or an agreement reached with the devils of the inferno, no matter what nefarious power you’ve acquired... anything that threatens the existence of the Holy Royal Court must be purified!"

The Great Knight stated coldly.

Having spoken, he thrust the Ring Cross silver sword into the ground, dissipating his Holy Source Power, and slowly spread his arms.

As the Great Knight moved, a tangible spiritual power radiated outward from him, and a terrifying pressure rose from his being!
