Chapter 1096: Chapter 860, How Did You Not Die? (One more update today)_2 Chapter 1096: Chapter 860, How Did You Not Die? (One more update today)_2 The Pope clenched his fists tightly and slammed them hard against his chest.
Wu Heng's body was sent flying backward, but in the process, he spun around and aimed at the Pope, who was gathering golden light, towards his eyes, mouth, and nose.
The Pope's facial features vanished in an instant.
And they were just as instantly restored.
Ever since becoming a hero, magic spells appeared to take effect on him.
But the effect was also just a momentary one, not the kind he wished to see.
With the disappearance of the facial features, the golden light being shot was also aimed around Wu Heng's position, narrowly dodging it.
Bang bang~!
Two more gunshots rang out, the bullets striking the Pope's body, blocked and deflected by a golden shield.
The Pope turned around to see, as angels formed from energy appeared, heading towards the snipers lying in ambush around them.
Wu Heng unleashed his Superpowers [Burst Potential] and [Keratin Carapace] simultaneously, his skin surface covered by black keratin, significantly enhancing his body's attributes.
With a light tap of his foot, he rapidly closed the distance between them, midway [Summoning Thunder Skill] beginning to accumulate, and rolling dark clouds appeared in the sky.
Crack~!
Thick, silvery-white lightning bolts fell from the sky.
The Pope moved like a specter, Wu Heng constantly targeting the places where he landed, incessant thunder raining down from the sky.
Then, the Pope began to hum softly into the air.
A mirage appeared in the sky, the 'choir' in the great hall singing chants in neat rows, scattering the dark clouds above, turning the many skeletons below into white bones.
Wu Heng waved his fingers, and the Pope's mouth disappeared.
The mirage vanished.
“Another new anomaly!”
“Who's still fighting?”
Everyone at the square looked up, quietly discussing as they watched the several changing phenomena in the sky.
Just who's fighting the Pope?
That's the hero who's esteemed and only seen in legends and propaganda paintings.
Even if the people on the island would rather see the Island Master win.
And also don't think the Island Master has done anything wrong in this matter.
But everything depends on level and background.
In the future, Gold and Silver Island will be under The Holy Court's jurisdiction.
Among the crowd, still, some bold individuals released their Tamed Beasts, standing at a distance, staring intently at the Battle Zone.
“Lord Island Master!” Ranger said in surprise.
“Lord Island Master?”
He's not dead?
Wasn't he shot through the chest at the port?
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “Does that mean the Island Master isn't level 15? Since when could he compete against the Pope?”
And the fight's still going on.
Inside the association building.
The Xi Ligui sisters also overheard the discussions below.
Shi Yali said, “Does this mean Wu Heng just became a hero?”
“It must be him.” Xi Ligui's tone couldn't hide her helplessness.
If it weren't for this incident, Wu Heng, so young, having become a hero would also mean an increase in lifespan.
There would be no problem with their family accepting their relationship.
But now that he's become a hero, he's still no match for the Pope; they only hoped he could escape.
Shi Yali held her gently, “When he returns, we should give him a good talking-to for deceiving us, claiming he's always been level 15.”
Xi Ligui rested on her sister's shoulder, softly murmuring her agreement.
Above the battlefield.
Several Skeleton Flying Dragons circled in the air where the two were fighting.
The Skeletons seated on their backs were holding Machine Guns, rotating and relentlessly strafing the area below.
With a rat-tat-tat, the bullets converged towards the center.
The shields around the Pope shattered under intense gunfire, the bullets rat-tat-tatting against his body.
“Courting death!” The Pope shouted furiously.
Holy Light shot towards the Flying Dragons in the sky.
Wu Heng closed in quickly, winding up his punch, smashing the Pope sending him flying.
The Pope's body slid backward, but his will to fight was not diminished in the slightest.
After being knocked back by the punch, he did not immediately counterattack.
With a casual wave of his hand, a totem with The Holy Court's emblem at the top violently emerged from beside him.
He bellowed, “Divine Servants!”
Instantly, a wailing sound came from the center of the island, like the wind passing through a narrow valley.
From within the Church, among the congregants kneeling in prayer, streams of energy quickly converged towards the Battle Zone.
“What is this now?”
“It seems like something has been drawn away.”
People were gazing up, talking among themselves.
In the battle zone, energy converged upon the totem supported by the Pope.
Above, a massive rift slowly emerged.
And within the rift, one could see a gigantic avatar with wings on its back, standing ready behind, waiting for the rift to slowly open.
“Enough, you can die now.”
For a Pope to take action personally was already a loss of face.
Then, being bombarded by that peculiar weapon at the harbor, delayed by an avatar, he watched as a hero emerged before his very eyes.
And now it has even come to a deadlock, every result as if it were a slap in his face.
Being continuously slapped in the face by an insignificant figure, the insults piling up more and more.
Now, all of it can come to an end.
From the rift, an overwhelming presence was emitted, the huge figure of the avatar became ever clearer.
Even Wu Heng, bold as he was, could feel the threat and pressure at this moment.
If what's behind truly comes forth, he feared he might actually die.
“Wu Heng, leave first!” Glenda's voice appeared by his ear.
Bella also followed, “Wait a few days before coming back, no rush for now, keep calm.”
Wu Heng narrowed his eyes, looked at the crack in the sky, and said: “Let's try again.”
He swung his hand fiercely to the side.
A rift likewise appeared next to him, followed by the roaring opening of a huge stone gate.
Unlike the opponent's slowly forming rift, it opened in the blink of an eye, exposing the Electromagnetic Cannon.
“Let's talk with the truth, fire at it!”
Boom~!
A ray of light shot out, fiercely crashing into the rift on the opposite side.
After the explosion, a fiery tornado surged skyward, engulfing the figure inside and filling the entire rift.
The Pope wore a look of surprise.
Wu Heng quickly said: “Fire at the Pope.”
Clack clack~!
The Electromagnetic Cannon turned its direction, its barrel facing the Pope.
Boom!
A massive explosion erupted, the second shell inscribed with the attribute of thunder, spreading thunder and lightning across the sky.
Wu Heng and the Pope were simultaneously blown away.
Both charred all over, the rifts they had summoned vanished at the same time.
“Is that all you've got?” Wu Heng stood up awkwardly, continuing to taunt.
The Electromagnetic Cannon had been prepared in advance to fire at ships at sea.
But unexpectedly, it was used here.
“Heretic, you deserve to die.”
“Stop that talk, if you can, come at me.”
Just as the two were about to clash again.
Suddenly, another figure fell from the sky, landing between them, dressed in a black gown, facing the Pope, “Have you caused enough trouble? Do you really think The Holy Court can replace the Association?”
Lilith had arrived.
The Pope narrowed his eyes, straightened his body, and said: “Wu Heng attacked Holy Court personnel, did not cooperate with investigations, Lilith Leader's arrival is timely, join me in capturing him first.”
Lilith sneered, “Are you senile? You come to someone's home, turn the place into this, and then talk about attacking Holy Court people?”
“Did you not receive the letter I wrote to the headquarters requesting assistance with the investigation?” the Pope cast a sharp look over.
Lilith replied: “I received it, you go back to the Holy Hall first, leave the rest to the headquarters to communicate with you.”
“Today, I want an answer from this kid,” the Pope looked behind her at Wu Heng, his gaze icy.
Wu Heng also spoke up, “Lilith Leader, today is a good opportunity, let's join forces to kill him, all of The Holy Court's assets will be yours, I'll take the blame afterward.”
The Pope's eyes hardened, his gaze cautious towards Lilith.
Although both were heroes, Lilith's race and profession indeed weren't exactly upright.
Lilith looked at the Pope, revealing a smile, “What do you think about this proposition?”
“The two of you joining forces can stop me? You might as well not go back to being the Leader of the Association,” the Pope said.
Lilith spoke: “I was just speaking off the cuff, why so serious? The headquarters has given an order, the Association is in charge of the investigation, why don't you go back and wait for news, how does that sound?”
“Hmph! Then I'll see just how the Association intends to investigate,” the Pope said coldly, transforming into a beam of light, vanishing from sight.
Lilith then looked at the ruins around her, frowning at Wu Heng, “How did you survive this?”
“Leader, what kind of question is that!”
On the sea surface.
The Pope, facing the remnants on the sea, his eyes full of rage.
“Wu Heng, you wait!”
