Chapter 406: Chapter 272: Your Majesty Terence, the Express Delivery Has Arrived
“This is getting interesting.”
Lafa looked up at the sky and smiled slightly.
Hiss!
His crimson robe and flesh were completely shredded, revealing a set of bone armor that could be called perfect.
Fiercely intimidating, pure white, and shimring under the blood-red sunset.
Paired with his billowing long red hair, he resembled a statue of art.
...
Lafa’s hands ignited with Moonshine Fire, not dodging or avoiding, and instead he flipped his hands upwards toward the sky.
Clang!
Chen Lun brought down the Deathburn Sword heavily, and the broad greatsword was parried by a pair of strong bony hands coming together.
Ti seed to stop for an instant, and then a vast shockwave diffused in all directions.
Boom!
The ground cracked and spread like a spiderweb, followed by stones and dust scattering everywhere.
Black-purple flas, purplish-red flas, the swirling ripples of air, intertwined and entangled.
The high-temperature flas subrged two pale figures.
From a distance, one could see a dark, terrifying ball of black, purple, and red flas burning intensely, its warping heat distorting the air and blurring the surroundings.
Both Chen Lun and Lafa had their clothing entirely burnt away, but it seed both possessed extrely high fire resistance and weren’t reduced to ashes. However, even the pale armor and pure white bone were scorched red under such dreadful flas.
Chen Lun secretly used a bookmark to silently recover his life points.
“Not a bad concept, your sword skill seed to have borrowed from my ‘Moonshine’… But the gap is still very noticeable.”
Lafa’s face was covered by half a bone mask, his voice emanating from beneath it.
“Killing won’t be an easy feat for you, Archbishop Lafa.”
Chen Lun’s voice ca cold.
His pair of pale wings flapped forward, coiled, and pulled.
He directly dragged Lafa’s body in front of him and then locked his hands on Lafa’s shoulders.
“No need to think about repeating your old tricks, this ti my body won’t be easily damaged by the flas.”
Lafa looked at Chen Lun in front of him, seemingly recalling a past event.
“You talk too much, Lafa.”
Chen Lun said expressionlessly.
The next second.
Their vision suddenly darkened.
As if the day turned into night in an instant.
“Night Domain… Black Knight Bales?”
Lafa murmured the na quietly.
A man in pitch-black armor approached the two slowly, a black sword in hand.
“I didn’t expect you to have help, Mr. Magician… Too bad, even with Bales added, it makes no difference. I should thank you, though; I originally sent Jero to capture Bales, and he failed unexpectedly. Now that I can regain what was lost, I am very pleased.”
Lafa’s pale bone hand tightly gripped Chen Lun’s wrist, cracking and clicking. His Strength was extrely terrifying, the re force of his grip nearly crushed Chen Lun’s wrist bones.
“What do you think the Night Domain is for?”
Chen Lun ignored the severe pain coming from his wrist and still firmly held onto Lafa’s shoulders, grinning as he asked.
Two pairs of wings enveloped Lafa’s body, with myriad pale serpents writhing and watching attentively.
In this situation, although Lafa could choose to Bloodize and escape, He chose not to. Firstly, during the brief period of Bloodization, it was very likely to suffer fatal damage. Secondly, He didn’t believe that Chen Lun could hurt him; on the contrary, being so close was more advantageous for Him to kill Chen Lun.
“Why do you have the delusion that we’re joining forces against you, Archbishop Lafa?”
As Chen Lun spoke, Lafa’s smile gradually faded away.
“The Night Domain” is a unique power of Transcendents on the Moon Path, which one can master after ascending to [Sequence Six – Nightwalker]. It can create a dark area where the Caster not only enhances themselves but also blocks so of the external mystical forces.
The most important aspect is that the Night Domain can conceal perception from everyone except the Caster.
The so-called perception here is not just physiological senses, but also includes Mystical Accumulation like intuition, premonition, and Divination.
Bales, as a [Sequence Five – Dark Knight], had already pushed his Mystical Accumulation to the limit and was just short of the sanctification ceremony to be promoted to a High Sequence existence. The Night Domain he created was of such high intensity that it was pitch-black, and even Lafa, who descended in a physical vessel, had most of his perceptions shielded.
The battle-experienced and knowledgeable Archbishop Lafa imdiately grasped the Magician’s intentions in front of Him.
“You’ve set a trap?”
Lafa’s gaze sharpened.
Chen Lun didn’t answer Him, simply maintaining his smile.
In the darkness, neither could see the other, but at such close range, just by his tone, Lafa knew that the Magician must be smiling triumphantly.
Based on his earlier impression of the garden’s environnt, Chen Lun dragged Lafa and leaped directly to the left rear. A twisted blue vortex stood there, which only beca clear as the two approached, affected by the Night Domain.
It turned out that the previous battle had already been unknowingly shifted by Chen Lun to the vicinity of the buried Spirit World stone.
“A passage to the Spirit World.”
Lafa recognized the vortex.
He didn’t know where this passage led, but He knew that it definitely wouldn’t be anywhere pleasant.
Lafa’s gaze was icy as He squeezed with all his might.
Crack!
Chen Lun’s wrists broke with the sound, but in the next instant, a greenish light flickered, and the injuries healed as if they had never existed.
Chen Lun at his limit, was also terrifying in strength, still holding on to Lafa and refusing to let go.
When Lafa realized He couldn’t break free from the bind, He imdiately decided to abandon His own arms. The ferocious bone hands fell off on their own, and then He swiftly flickered backward.
He desperately broke through the encirclent of the two pairs of pale wings, taking countless hits in the process, which caused fine cracks to appear all over His white bones.
But Lafa ignored them, for in a few breaths’ ti, He would recover as good as new.
At that mont.
A tall Black Knight erged from the darkness behind Him, exuding a majestic purple glow.
Lafa turned His head and cast a cold glance at Bales, then delivered a kick straight at him. Blood erged, entwining around his white-boned lower leg, which shot past like a pale spear.
Clang!
Bales blocked the kick with his sword, then arched his back, bent forward, and crouched down—
Launching into a fierce shoulder charge!
It was the most standard block and bump from the Knight Swordsmanship, perfectly executed by Bales.
Boom!!
Lafa was uncontrollably sent flying backward, tumbling into Chen Lun’s arms.
“Lafa, I’ll take you to a nice place to recover.”
Chen Lun made the sign of the cross, tightly clutching Lafa’s head, then said with a deep chuckle.
“You…”
Lafa’s words were cut short as Chen Lun dragged him into the vortex of the Spirit World.
The two vanished without a trace, and the Spirit World Stone, exhausted of Strength, shattered outright.
The overturned dark hemisphere over the manor gradually dissipated, revealing a ss of ruins. The Black Knight looked down at the broken stones on the ground, silent.
After a long while.
“Good luck, Jack.”
He said.
Floey and Noah rushed over.
“Uncle Bales, how are things?”
“The plan went relatively smoothly, but the outco is still uncertain… Trust in him.”
The Black Knight answered.
Floey pursed her lips.
Noah looked at the two of them and showed a determined expression.
“Mr. Jack will succeed!”
Players who had been watching from afar stared blankly, clueless about what had just happened.
Dongyang was the first to think of the mission panel description, which included gathering enough mbers to wait in Fossil City.
He instinctively opened the guild channel, and soon, nurous ssages popped up.
“—It’s here, it’s here! Vice President! We saw it!”
“—It’s Jack! And he’s with soone!”
Dongyang said to Polaris Chenxi and the others around him:
“It seems like Jack has taken that BOSS to Fossil City!”
“?!”
The others showed surprised expressions.

Buzz!
Two figures tumbled out of the blue vortex of the Spirit World.
Lafa suddenly delivered a sharp elbow to Chen Lun’s chest. The latter retaliated, slapping forward with two pairs of pale wings on his back.
Boom!!
Amidst the loud noise, the two finally stopped grappling and flew back in opposite directions.
“Where is this?”
Lafa regrew two bone hands, and with a few clicks, forcefully straightened the neck twisted by the force of the wings, and said coldly.
Looking around, Lafa saw high walls and so tall buildings, all unfamiliar. In the distance, it seed there were many weak ants hiding atop so tall buildings, peering this way.
Tens of ters away, Chen Lun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled.
“Your grave.”
As the words fell.
A blinding golden light descended from the sky.
A man in a white robe with golden patterns and a white crown stood bathed in the golden radiance, hovering in midair like a deity, looking down upon the two.
That indifferent gaze seed to regard them as two sinners.
Behind him, four or five more figures appeared one after another, exuding an imposing aura—all of them Mid Sequence practitioners of the Sun Path and high-ranking clergy of the Sun Church.
“Terence…”
Lafa’s pupils shrank.
“This is the Sun Church of Fossil City!”
But then.
Lafa chuckled softly, turning his head to look at Chen Lun with a mocking expression on his face.
Lafa felt Chen Lun’s actions to be akin to suicide. Even if he brought himself here, facing Terence, Chen Lun would still face certain death.
To drive the wolf away only to be devoured by the tiger? A mutual destruction?
No.
The one to die would only be the other.
Because Lafa was simply an Incarnation in a vessel.
Though destruction may cause so damage to the true self, it could not shake the foundation, which was why Lafa was so brazen.
Regarding Chen Lun’s actions, Lafa could only think of one word: foolish!
Little did he know.
Chen Lun had already quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
‘The plan succeeded…’
After altering the plan in the Spirit World, he imdiately sought Mr. Bales’s help and rushed to the Sun Church of Fossil City.
In a quiet corner near the church, he dropped another Spirit World Stone, creating a passage from Jack’s manor to here.
Chen Lun’s mission was to bring Lafa here and use the power of the Sun Church to destroy his powerful Incarnation.
When he noticed that the Sun Saint Terence in the sky focused his main gaze on Lafa, Chen Lun knew his bet paid off.
As the Archbishop of the Red Apple Church, using successive incarnations in vessels to destroy Yellow Iron City and many other towns and villages, he was far more likely to attract Terence’s hatred than himself.
And he just needed to stand silently at a distance, waiting for events to unfold.
As players from afar began to notice him, to notice all that was happening, Chen Lun also received the long-awaited notification—
[Completed Promotion Task: A Dangerous Ga!]
[Acquired Main Occupation “Aerial Acrobat (Destiny Faction) – Sequence Six”!]
