Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple Chapter 473 473-The Alliance of Multiple Enemies

John, unprepared and caught off guard, was abruptly taken to the Sunset Mountain Defend Wall by Duke Arsena.

Upon reaching the Defend Wall, John's expression was one of frustration.

He felt that Duke Arsena's current actions were incomprehensible.

"Why do we need to discuss important information here at the Defend Wall? Moreover, I don't think this place is necessarily safer than Storm City. Isn't the Defend Wall closer to the Dark Realm?"

Faced with John's questions, Duke Arsena did not provide any answers.

Instead, he stood with his back to John, looking towards the direction of the Dark Realm.

John took a few steps back, sensing that sothing was off with Arsena.

Just as he stepped back, Arsena suddenly spoke.

"You are indeed a very powerful adventurer. You quickly noticed that sothing was amiss. But what I am curious about is whether you can defeat right here."

Duke Arsena's voice changed to that of the Mystery Protector in the latter half of his speech.

John could see that Arsena had completely transford into the Mystery Protector.

"Did you impersonate the Duke just to lure to the Defend Wall? What is your purpose in doing this? Or do you believe that you can successfully defeat this way?"

While John was sowhat surprised, he was not overly fearful.

He was well aware that the strength of the Mystery Protector was not far off from his own.

Moreover, John was carrying a number of powerful scrolls with him.

These scrolls could provide significant assistance in the upcoming battle.

The Mystery Protector chuckled lightly and said, "Of course, I cannot defeat you on my own. But who told you that I intend to duel with you alone? Don't you think I might have allies?"

As the Mystery Protector spoke these words, John felt a similarly powerful presence rapidly approaching from behind.

Without even needing to look back, John could guess who it was – his long-standing enemy and soone who harbored deep hatred towards him, Darklord.

The alliance between Darklord and the Mystery Protector was sothing John could never have anticipated.

After all, Darklord had moved his guild to the Frozen Fortress, another important town in the Northern Myst Empire.

It seed unlikely that the Mystery Protector would go there.

How had these two co to work together?

A flurry of questions swirled in John's mind.

However, he knew that the most crucial task at hand was to prepare for the imminent attack from both the Mystery Protector and Darklord.

Mystery Protector was already strong, and Darklord's strength likely improved during this ti. For John, quickly defeating them would not be an easy task.

"Surprised, aren't you? I've chosen to challenge you again. Last ti, you collaborated with the Blue Sea Guild to put in a great crisis, so this ti, I naturally decided to cooperate with Mystery Protector to put you in a similar situation. It's only fair – a battle of equals. If I had defeated you right from the start, wouldn't that have been too boring?"

Darklord said, clearly in high spirits. With the help of Mystery Protector, he felt his victory was assured, facing John with a combined assault.

John remained calm and asked Mystery Protector with a slight smile, "I'm not sure how much you know about Darklord. As a Legend Magus of the Northern Myst Empire, you should be a mber of the Order Faction, right? If so, how can you cooperate with a mber of the Mystery faction? Are you not aware that Darklord has already sided with the Mystery faction?"

John was trying to avoid a two-front battle, hoping to persuade the Mystery Protector to at least remain neutral in his fight against Darklord.

In John's view, as a Legend Magus of the Northern Myst Empire, the Mystery Protector should definitely not be collaborating with the Mystery faction.

However, the reply he received from Mystery Protector indicated that the situation was far more complicated than he had anticipated.

Mystery Protector maintained his smile, seemingly having anticipated John's question, and responded calmly, "Of course, I'm aware that Darklord, as an adventurer, has collaborated with the Mystery faction.

However, my goal is to eliminate you.

As long as I can achieve this, I am willing to cooperate with any faction.

Even though our Northern Myst Empire is currently in a hostile state with the Mystery faction, as a Legend Magus, my relationship with Darklord, a very powerful adventurer, is not hostile."

As he spoke, Mystery Protector transford into a streak of blue light and vanished from the spot. In the next instant, he appeared right beside John.

John could imdiately feel a surge of powerful Arcane energy; Mystery Protector was no longer interested in further conversation and launched an attack on John.

At the sa mont Mystery Protector made his move, Darklord also drew his Mysterious wand.

"This ti, you'll pay a heavy price! John, there's no escape for you this ti!" Darklord shouted nacingly towards John.

Simultaneously, Darklord finally unleashed his most powerful Mystery Spell, Mystery Infestation.

[Mystery Infestation (Mystic Spell)]

[Spell Description: The great Mystery Saint bestows the power of Mystery upon his loyal followers. The followers of the Mystery Saint can converge their Mystery power to form a trendously powerful curse. This potent Mystery is capable of corrupting everything it touches, driving all beings into absolute madness.]

[Skill Effect: Causes damage equal to 70% of the target's maximum health with Mystery attribute. Reduces the target's maximum health to one-third of its original value. Weakens the target's healing effects by 50%. Spreads to other nearby enemies, causing 75% of the main target's damage.]

Mystery Infestation was clearly the most powerful spell Darklord could wield, and he could not cast it without his Mysterious wand.

But now, he had successfully unleashed this formidable spell.

John, already in a dire state from the attack of Mystery Protector, was in no position to perfectly counter Mystery Infestation.

In such a critical situation, John had no choice but to use an ocean attribute scroll he had with him.

The mont he brought out the ocean attribute scroll, it transford into a blue barrier.

While this barrier couldn't completely block the incredibly powerful Mystery Infestation unleashed by Darklord, it provided John with so crucial reaction ti.

Taking advantage of the extra ti afforded by the scroll, John quickly teleported to a nearby location.

However, John couldn't teleport far as Mystery Protector had set up a spatial magic barrier in the area.

Unless he could defeat both Mystery Protector and Darklord, there was no way for him to escape the battle.

Having narrowly dodged his opponents' attacks, John steadied his spirit.

Naturally, he was extrely angry, not expecting Mystery Protector to beco a direct adversary.

After regaining his composure, John calmly addressed Mystery Protector, "Do you really think that no one else will find out what you have done? If Duke Arsena learns that you have beco my enemy and are collaborating with mbers of the Mystery faction, you won't be able to escape unscathed. The Northern Myst Empire will surely make you pay."

Mystery Protector's mood was no longer as buoyant as before.

He had initially thought that his and Darklord's combined assault would be enough to definitively eliminate John.

Who could have imagined that their most powerful spells would only cause John so trouble and not pose a significant threat?

John was still able to continue fighting and had not fallen into a state of panic.

He even had the presence of mind to question Mystery Protector directly, a question that Mystery Protector naturally could not answer.

Mystery Protector had already resolved before the action to eliminate John.

In his view, as long as John was eliminated, no one would find out about his cooperation with the Mystery faction.
