Chapter 898: Chapter 741 Chaos_2

Based on the aftermath of the golden War General enduring triple the damage, the earlier strike should have hit this person. It should have caused injury.

However, the opponent appears completely unaffected.

“Is it my turn now?”

Wald XVIII adjusted his clothes and looked at the person standing opposite him.

As his words fell, he showed no intention of waiting for his opponent to react. Wald XVIII’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Xu Shuo!

The playful smile on his face was unabashedly arrogant.

His hand moved as swiftly as lightning, forming claws aimed at the youth’s neck!

Yet the next moment, his grip caught nothing but a phantom hologram, passing through a golden light shield.

This was the figure of the golden War General.

Soon after, the phantom of the golden War General, barely holding on, shattered into countless glittering particles that scattered through the air, dissipating along with a massive great sword wrapped in chains.

Meanwhile, Xu Shuo appeared at the location where the golden War General had been earlier, his expression showing slight surprise.

At the very last second, they had exchanged positions.

Wald XVIII’s figure froze mid-motion after his attack missed.

He raised his head to look at the figure floating mid-air and smirked with a lifted brow: “Fled? I thought you came looking for me.”

Xu Shuo remained silent, swiftly crafting Magic Sigils.

However, this time.

Wald XVIII gave him no chance.

His figure again instantly appeared before Xu Shuo, attacking at a terrifying speed. Xu Shuo instinctively defended, but the Magic Sigils in his hand dissipated.

Bang!

The force of the blow sent Xu Shuo flying, his body crashing into the ground below in an explosive impact, smashing through the rooftop into the building beneath.

The battlefield streets were devoid of civilians by now.

Or perhaps, if there were any, they were hidden somewhere, not daring to make a sound.

Within the empty house, a solitary oil lamp remained lit. After being overturned by the collapsing rooftop, it rolled onto the ground, finally coming to rest by Xu Shuo’s silver hair scattered across the floor.

Xu Shuo looked up at the figure in the air, picking up the oil lamp by his side.

Light from his fingertips infused with the Power of Light swept across the lamp, instantly transforming its glow into a flaming dragon of light that soared towards the skies.

Wald XVIII tilted his head in the air.

He casually extended a finger, touching the dragon of light as it charged at him. A pale force flickered in an instant, and the weak Power of Light Faith shattered effortlessly. The light dragon disintegrated in the blink of an eye.

Standing above, Wald XVIII looked down at the astonished figures inside the house, chuckling: “Anything else?”

Xu Shuo stared at him: “You’re an elf?”

“I thought the Papal Lord should have already known.”

“I’ve long been aware of Saint Vlaro Royal Family’s secret collusion with the Ice and Snow Elf Clan. Never imagined the current king of Saint Vlaro was actually a mixed-blood elf. Truly ironic.” Xu Shuo sneered coldly.

“You shouldn’t say that. I vaguely recall the Papal Lord having an Ice and Snow Elf by your side as well—so that wouldn’t be collusion?”

“…”

Xu Shuo narrowed his eyes: “Collusion? No. The bloodline of elves isn’t worthy. That thing is nothing but a slave. The Ice and Snow Elf Clan and the Holy See of Light will never form an alliance!”

As those words concluded.

Wald XVIII instantaneously flashed before him.

By this time, the opponent no longer concealed the chilling aura emanating from him. His gray-golden hair subtly shifted toward a pure white hue, and his deep blue eyes shimmered with intense radiance.

The Power of Dawn Belief surged, while the Power of Light Faith within Xu Shuo instinctively began operating.

However, facing this rampant and overwhelming Dawn aura, it seemed increasingly difficult to resist.

Xu Shuo furrowed his brow slightly.

The next moment, Wald XVIII, now at arm’s length, unleashed his attack!

Xu Shuo swiftly defended but felt an icy cold seep into his fingertips, which had been touched by the Extreme Frost. Unable to block Wald XVIII’s attack, his hand was tightly seized and immobilized in place.

Immediately afterward, an intense surge of Dawn Belief Force erupted powerfully from Wald XVIII!

Buzz—

A massive Dawn Magic Array materialized behind Wald XVIII.

However, in contrast to the Light Magic Circle earlier.

This array was only five to six meters in diameter.

Soon, a towering phantom Magical Beast emerged from the Dawn Magic Array Method.

The beast was snow-white in color, resembling a canine creature with a single horn curving backward from its forehead, a long mane on its neck, and five lengthy feathered tails trailing behind it.

The Dawn Beast radiated faint Dawn Belief Force, its slender figure making it only half-again taller than Wald XVIII as it stood beside him.

Xu Shuo froze slightly upon seeing this beast.

This time, he was genuinely surprised.

Because summoning this type of Guardian God’s Acolyte generally required the powers of a Faith Executor.

And frankly speaking.

Catalina’s Guardian Beast was undeniably more imposing.

This comparison certainly made this one seem… delicate.

Xu Shuo, his expression turning peculiar, said the expected line: “Impossible! Guardian God’s Acolyte can only be summoned by someone wielding the Power of Faith. You are not the Executor of Dawn in this generation!”

Wald XVIII chuckled softly.

“Papal Lord truly doesn’t know?”

His voice turned dark and chilling: “If you truly don’t know, then chasing me here this time is nothing short of a suicidal move, idiotic to an absurd degree.”

Xu Shuo gazed at him: “Your Majesty’s arrogance is a little early, isn’t it?”

As he finished speaking, Xu Shuo felt a tremendous force emanate from his restrained hand, twisting his freezing right wrist toward the beast’s jaws.

The beast’s mouth stretched wide, filled with razor-sharp teeth.

Its jaws expanded grotesquely, consuming half the creature’s body as they darkened to resemble a black hole, eager for the offered meal.

The beast’s massive fang-filled maw exhibited black hole-like suction.

Gripped tightly by Wald XVIII, Xu Shuo’s feet stumbled as his body uncontrollably fell toward the maw of this beast.

Wald XVIII’s smile was mocking: “I hope the Papal Lord can satisfy my little pet’s palate. It’s been ages since it’s tasted something of such a high level, and so long since it’s had a bite of the Power of Light Faith.”

As he spoke, Wald XVIII loosened his hold on Xu Shuo.

The Dawn Beast’s sharp teeth began to close slowly.

Before being dragged in, Xu Shuo reached for a fruit knife with his free hand and, with Radiance imbued, flung it forward instantly.

The knife, propelled at light-speed, soared faster than imagination.

Especially at such close range.

Even Wald XVIII, reflexively dodging, couldn’t fully evade and was slashed across his face by the blade.

The blade, empowered by Radiance, pierced right through the thick walls of the house and disappeared into the outside night.

Within the room.

Wald XVIII gently wiped the blood from his cheek.

This time, the wound was deep, his face continuing to leak fresh blood.

His somber gaze locked onto Xu Shuo, whose Light Power shimmered brilliantly. Wald XVIII sneered coldly: “Still have some fight in you? Trying to sharpen my pet’s teeth?”

Suddenly, Wald XVIII raised his hand, forming a striking gesture.

In an instant, a gash appeared on the right side of Xu Shuo’s face—a wound deep enough to expose bone. Crimson blood seeped down his cheek, dripping onto the white pleated collar at his neck.

Not the rules of that dagger weapon?

Xu Shuo’s weakened Light Power strained against the beast’s grip, feeling the sharp pain on his face and feeling slightly regretful.

Then.

His already heavily depleted Power of Faith dwindled further. The golden Light Power flickered unsteadily, and Xu Shuo groaned softly.

Wald XVIII stood nearby, mockingly watching Xu Shuo struggle.

But at that moment—

Xu Shuo’s body stiffened abruptly as he noticed something, lifting his gaze skyward.

At the same time, Wald XVIII’s cold smile faltered briefly as he sprang backward instinctively.

“Boom!”

A massive white claw slammed down!

It directly sent the delicate beast with five feathered tails flying!

Dragged by the beast’s black-hole-like suction, Xu Shuo, being too close, was thrown to the ground by the sudden force, his body covered by spreading ice.

Within this stark frost.

A gargantuan Phantom Beast descended from the skies. Its towering figure reached tens of meters, its gray-and-white fur thick and heavy, with an appearance blending tiger and bear features—that of an unparalleled ferocity!

This was Catalina’s Guardian God’s Acolyte.

Back in the Holy Land of Elves, it had been summoned before, only to be slashed into snowflakes by the golden War General’s sword.

But Guardian Beasts.

Can be repeatedly summoned as long as there’s Faith Power.

Yet now…

That didn’t seem to be the point.

Above the tiger-bear Guardian Beast, floated a figure clad in the Holy Court nun’s attire—the Ice and Snow Elf surrounded by dense Dawn Belief Force, her expression icy cold, and divinely imposing.

Wald XVIII raised his head in shock, the confusion in his eyes seemingly genuine.

Xu Shuo lay prone on the ground: “…”

Damn it, Catalina! You’ve completely sabotaged my plan!

…
