Capítulo 647: Chapter 165 Borrowing a Cup
Chapter One Hundred Sixty-Five
“Excellent, thank you all for your enthusiastic support. I can assure everyone that you will definitely not regret your decisions today!”
After all the interested forces signed the contract, the envoy put away that odd docunt.
“Hehe… Now, please continue to enjoy the ball tonight, I shall take my leave first.”
Amidst a burst of eerie laughter, the envoy and his guards made their way directly to the exit of the venue.
At this mont, within the dance floor, nurous Professionals had collapsed into disarray, the short but intense sensory stimulation had left them completely in a state of bewildered consciousness.
The blood flowing from their wounds dyed the stage red, adding a thick sense of sinister oddity to the scene, as if it were an altar hosting so kind of evil ritual.
“This… Lord Shute, is it really right for us to cooperate with them?”
Witnessing this scene, Alisa’s lips trembled, and she couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
Her knight’s instinct made her utterly reject this ‘evil,’ but her noble upbringing told her that such actions were in the best interest of her side.
The fierce conflict between the two made her unconsciously grip the hilt of her beloved sword, internally confused about what to do.
“You need to learn to adapt to these things, Alisa.”
Noticing her turmoil, Shute walked over to her side and gently patted her shoulder with his armored right hand.
“I understand how you feel, but you must realize one thing: the world does not operate on our will, and we cannot save everyone.
Sotis, to achieve our ultimate goal, as long as it does not violate our bottom line, making compromises in other areas is acceptable.”
“But that envoy displayed the powers of the Alien God believers, showing no regard for human lives at all. If those nobles from the Empire cooperate with them, won’t it lead to extensive casualties among the common folk?”
At this point, Roche couldn’t help but speak up.
After all, he was born in the Karlars Province of the Empire, and his family still lived there. He did not want his actions to overthrow the existing rulers and liberate the common people to result in even more civilian casualties.
“Roche, I think you might be misunderstanding one fact. Revolution, from ancient tis to the present, when has it been bloodless?”
Shute glanced at Roche’s tense expression, then at Matt, who also had a sowhat stern face, and couldn’t help but sigh.
“The establishnt of the Ancient Magic Empire ca at the cost of several joined kingdoms’ capitals being utterly destroyed by the Floating City, and the most stubborn resistors were turned to ashes along with the millions of people living there.
The foundation of the Three Great Empires of the Continent ca at the cost of two full years of bloody turmoil. During those years, every region of the Continent was engulfed in war, and no place was safe. Even walking on the streets, one could die from the unpredictable Superposition Magic at any mont.
In the course of history, all we at Starfire can do is try to minimize the bloodshed and shorten its duration as much as possible, that’s all.”
……
On the other hand, the envoy who left the venue also encountered a bit of trouble.
In Dragon Shadow City, walking alone at night on the streets is not safe, and even if accompanied, it is best to not have less than three people.
Of course, this excludes the High Rank Professionals.
After casually dealing with so troublemaking thugs, the envoy’s pace suddenly ca to a halt, his gaze behind the silver-black mask growing intense.
Unlike those good-for-nothings, he could clearly sense that a tangible threat was approaching him.
“There’s no need to keep hiding, my lord, may I ask your intent?”
Sensing a familiar aura, the envoy spoke coldly, his gaze devoid of any emotion as he looked towards the street corner ahead.
There, a figure whose body was entirely cloaked in a black robe, their specific identity unclear, slowly stepped out.
“Quite simple.”
From beneath the black robe, Anvis gave a faint smile.
“I wish to borrow your cup for a few days of entertainnt, may I have your permission for this small request?”
“A cup? Ignorant one, are you foolishly seeking the power of the divine?”
Upon hearing this, the Envoy seed to have heard sothing amusing.
“I can sense the Power of Desire surging within your spirit.
However, one with an unknown identity, let give you a piece of advice. If I were you, I would imdiately change my path. For at the end of the road before you, the divine has already been waiting for a long ti.”
“I don’t think so, illustrious Envoy.”
Anvis shook his head, speaking in an even tone.
In fact, it was only from the mont the cup appeared that Anvis truly understood that this was the actual focus of desire he had been pursuing.
Consequently, he temporarily set aside the situation at the eting place and imdiately gave chase.
Indeed, that cup might be an incarnation of the power of so Alien God, but the number of Alien Gods that had their eyes on him were enough already, this one would make little difference.
If he could fully absorb the Power of Desire contained within that cup, then perhaps it would be enough to allow his Desire Seed to truly advance to the next stage.
“You have made a wrong decision.”
Seeing that Anvis was unmoved, the Envoy regained his expressionless deanor.
Without any apparent action, at the next mont, his Guard struck without warning, a black bolt of lightning instantly cleaving towards Anvis, aiming to catch him off guard.
But to the surprised gaze of the Storm Mage, the black lightning that struck Anvis’ figure passed through as if nothing, silently lting a deep hole in the alleyway behind him.
“Illusion Technique?”
Glancing at the street which was suddenly shrouded in a thin fog, the Envoy waved his hand and a faint reddish hue enveloped the Storm Mage.
And so, in the eyes of that Storm Mage, the figure of ‘Anvis’ which previously stood there suddenly vanished, only for a new figure to reappear atop a roof nearby.
“The power of the divine really is convenient…”
With a helpless look at the Eighth Rank Guard who had discovered his true body, Anvis adjusted the Illusion Light Ice Domain from its initial covert mode to an aggressive one.
“But I think, the power you have obtained must have so sort of limitation, doesn’t it?”
.….….
Just like its onset, this battle between two of the Eighth Rank lasted only a brief ti before coming to an abrupt end.
A huge illusionary domain, emitting white light, covered an area spanning several miles, isolating all external peeping.
After surviving through three Ninth Rank one-off attack Mysterious Objects, generously sponsored by the Bishop Yanile, the Envoy and his Guard still could not withstand the fourth.
Thanks to Anvis deliberately controlling his output, he did not completely purify the two of them right away.
Although the Power of Desire can contaminate Holy Power, it also depends on the quality and quantity difference between the two.
Removing the mask of the Envoy, Anvis placed a hand upon the face of said Envoy and then, controlling the operation of the Desire Seed, patiently used the Power of Desire to extract the cup little by little.
