Chapter 381: Dusk Divine Weapon
Death was inevitable for everyone, but only now did Mary realise how terrifying it was.
In front of her, the raging flames moved closer to her, as if they wanted to devour her.
However, in a sense, dying like this would not be too bad—she would at least not be tortured by the Dusk Church's people and have a clean death.
Thinking to there, Mary sighed and closed her eyes.
At that moment, waves of light appeared within her body, causing her body to go through changes.
The golden pendant began to shine with light, and her surroundings seemed to change.
A feeling of warmth flowed into Mary's heart, and gave her a feeling of safety and security.
As such, she opened her eyes in surprise.
A hazy divine energy light had appeared around her, protecting her and looking incredibly holy.
In front of her, the flames had been split in half.
Mary stood there and looked at the Bishop and the others and calmed down.
"I'm still alive…" She thought to herself as she sighed in relief.
It seemed that Chen Heng had not abandoned her. Even though he had used her as bait, he had made sure that she would be safe.
This was enough.
She inwardly sighed before looking at the Bishop and the others, taking in their expressions.
"Just what kind of power is this?" The Bishop's expression was quite unsightly as he looked at that light, not knowing what to say.
The flames was something created by the Dusk Church, and contained the aura of their god.
Anything that was thrown in would quickly be corroded and burned, leaving behind their essence that would fuse into the Dusk God.
This was an extremely powerful method, and no matter how powerful one was, they would not be able to resist it.
However, Mary had survived.
Just what was going on…
It was as if from the start, they had underestimated that Viscount Hatim's power.
They never thought that his power would be able to do such a thing, and that he would be able to break into their headquarters.
None of the formations outside had been able to stop him.
They never thought that he would use a Prinecss as bait either.
"There's nothing else we can do…" Standing there, the Bishop gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Throw all of our sacrifices in!
"We need to have the Dusk Divine Weapon awaken as quickly as possible!"
"What about Princess Mary?" Someone asked.
"Do you want to go down and try?" The Bishop turned and coldly looked at that person, "Or do you want me to go in?"
That person immediately stopped speaking.
Outside, the sounds became louder and louder.
The ground was shaking, and it seemed that the person outside was incredibly close now.
In the air, divine runes flew, but were instantly suppressed and destroyed.
Sensing this, everyone present could not help but sweat, unable to imagine how powerful the person outside was.
This place was set up with the Dusk Church's divine runes over thousands of years, and the formations were incredibly powerful.
In the past, people had tried to attack this place, but were blocked outside.
However, these defences all seemed to fail now.
Finally…
Ahead, a crack appeared on the massive stone door.
This crack started off quite small, but began to spread like a spider's web.
In the end, with a light sound, the entire stone door shattered, causing dust to billow.
Within the dust, a figure slowly walked closer and was illuminated by light.
He was a young man dressed in white robes, and had clean and handsome looks.
His expression was very calm, and he gave off a unique and peaceful aura.
Faint divine light shone on his body, making him look incredibly unique and holy.
It was Chen Heng.
"You've finally come…" Standing there and looking at the young man, the Bishop deeply breathed in and said, "Well met, Viscount Hatim…"
"Yes, well met…" Chen Heng slowly walked over and looked at the Bishop, "Finding this ploace was not easy at all…"
"I wonder… is there some misunderstanding between us?" The black-robed Bishop deeply breathed and gave a stiff smile as he said, "In actuality, there's no need for us to do this… from the start, our target was just Prinecss Mary. We've never had any thoughts about you…"
He spoke sincerely, and this was indeed the case.
Even though they had plans to capture Chen Heng together with Mary, after their people had been taken down by him, they no longer dared to have any thoughts towards him.
Hearing the Bishop's words, Chen Heng stared at him, as if he was waiting for him to finish.
Seeing this, the Bishop inwardly let out a sigh of relief and said, "You see, there's no need for any conflict between us.
"Perhaps Princess Mary promised you some things, but what she promised you, we can also give you.
"Everything within the Kalo Kingdom is within our control, and if you are willing, we can pass the throne to you tomorrow. As long as you are willing to work with us, nothing is too much…"
As he spoke, he was making hand signals behind his back.
The awakening of the Dusk Divine Weapon was not so simple and required some time.
Chen Heng had come too quickly and suddenly, and they had not awakened the Dusk Divine Weapon yetl.
The reason why he was saying so much was to stall for time.
Facing him, Chen Heng did not respond and continued to stare at him.
Just as the Bishop was about to speak again, Chen Heng finally spoke.
"Your words make sense…" Chen Heng looked at the Bishop before sighing and saying, "But… what makes you think you have the right to negotiate with me?"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions fell.
Because in front of them, they could sense a massive energy surging towards them.
Flames began to burn, and turned into a massive sword of flames that descended towards them.
Boom!
The underground world seem to explode, and countless divine runes flew and disappeared.
If they were hit by this, they would definitely die.
"No!!" The Bishop roareda s he looked into he air.
The surroundings were reduced to nothingness as it was covered by the flames, creating a sea of flames.
Chen Heng continued to stand there, but he frowned.
He could sense that the people in front of him had not died, and were still alive.
This should not be the case.
That attack had not used his full power, but it would have been enough to kill them many times over.
With their power, they should not have been able to survive.
As he thought to himself, he turned and looked ahead.
Faint smoke rose up as the flames were quelled.
Ahead, the Bishop and others were still standing there, but their faces were pale and they gasped for breath.
In the air, a command medallion hung there, giving off a fearsome aura.
It was a golden medallion with inscriptions on it, looking quite unique and giving off an ancient aura.
Boundless might appeared, like a god was about to descend, giving one massive pressure.
Immediately, many people's expressions changed.
"Divine weapon!" Within the pool of flames, Mary's expression fell as she looked at the golden medallion in shock.
She had already identified what this thing was.
"Aktor, you are indeed very powerful…" The Bishop slowly got up as he gasped for breath and stared at Chen Heng viciously, "Powerful to the point that all of us are not a match for you at all… even all of our defences were nothing to you…
"But so what?"
His expression was cold as he revealed his true nature, "in front of the glorious Dusk God's divine weapon, you are nothing. Now, repent for your arrogance! I will use your blood to sacrifice to the glorious Dusk God!"
If the Dusk Divine Weapon awoke a bit later, all of them would have been devoured by those flames.
He did notw ant to experience this again.
In order to repay this, he wanted to viciously take revenge and pay back hundreds or thousands more.
"Dusk Divine Weapon…" Standing there and looking at the golden medallion in the air, Chen Heng could not help but frown.
However, following this, he came to his senses, "It seems that you were stalling time to awaken this divine weapon. However, it seems that this divine weapon has not truly awoken…"
In front of him, even though the Dusk Divine Weapon's power was great, it only had part of its power.
"So what?" The Bishop did not deny this, but his expression became a bit grimmer.
Originally, the Dusk Divine Weapon still required some time to awaken. It not only required blood sacrifices, but also a special ceremony.
However, Chen Heng had not given them this time.
The all-important Mary had not been sacrificed, and they did not have time for the ceremony either.
Even though the Dusk Divine Weapon had been awakened, it was not completed, and did not even have half of its true power.
However, even so, this was enough.
"Lowly mortal, tremble under the Dusk God's light!" The Bishop said coldly.
Following this, massive light exploded out.
In the air, the golden medallion gave off golden light.
Boundless golden divine runes appeared, each one containing terrifying power.
At that moment, the golden divine runes burst out, creating a unique domain.
A pressure that originated from the laws of the world began to appear.
At that moment, even Chen Heng's expression changed.
"Is this the power of a divine weapon?" Chen Heng thought to himself as he frowned and felt some pressure.
A divine weapon, and even one that had not fully awakened, was not something that ordinary people could resist.
However, it was not completely hopeless for Chen Heng.
"Let's give it a try…" Chen Heng thought as he looked ahead.
"Let's see how powerful this world's so-called gods are…" Chen Heng thought as his soul became pure and all thoughts disappeared.
His expression was calm and he did not retreat, and instead advanced.
