The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing Chapter 409 - 255: Merlin: Dealing with An Su, I Will Person

Could it be that the God of Law demands much from his apprentices... or was it a test he deliberately set up?

Several possibilities flashed through Bishop Morgan’s mind.

"Nonsense," rlin said in a subdued voice, "I’ve placed bets in the casino too."

Where the hell do you get the face to rectify the misconduct of the Radiant Followers... Bishop Morgan’s face was full of disbelief, a case of the upper beam being not straight and the lower beam being crooked!

"Moreover, An Su’s father..." Bishop rlin maintained an upright expression, "also bribed ."

"You took their money and still want to ss with their child?" Bishop Morgan admired rlin’s daring ability.

"Not exactly..." rlin’s expression was subtly complex, "His dad paid to increase the difficulty."

According to the exam rules, scoring thirty points was considered passing, and all An Su needed to do was to clear this third room to beco a Church Deacon, officially entering the ranks of civil servants, no longer able to withdraw voluntarily.

"..." Bishop Morgan expressed his inability to comprehend these modern tis, questioning this bizarre way of doing things.

Compared to these ancient behaviors, his own fondness for children seed quite refined.

An Su was still unaware of rlin and his old dad’s covert operations,

He happily scavenged all the Druid materials, carrying his ’Blood Redemption Long Blade’—since summoning had involved sacrificing a good deal of vampire blood, the Long Blade of Redemption had significantly shrunk, perhaps more aptly called the ’Blood Redemption Dagger’ now.

Clutching the dagger in his left hand and hoisting a sack of materials on his right, he pushed open the study’s grand door and walked out contentedly.

In the twilight spread before him on the corridor of this world, guided by the stars, he arrived at the door of the next examination room.

The entire door was pure and flawless, distinctly different from the chanical doors of the Alchemical Church or the Druid’s vine-covered wooden doors. The door seed to be made of layers of gently floating clouds, its outline resembling the fluttering wings of angels, sowhat similar to the ’Heaven’s Gate’ he had seen on the tenth floor of the Magic Association, filled with a holy aura.

Following the order of drawing lots, the next examination room belonged to the Radiant and Blessed Church, An Su’s ho field.

Since rlin wasn’t setting the questions—this old fellow had already been stripped of his examiner status—An Su was rather relaxed.

A reward level... he humd a little tune.

In a relaxed mood, An Su pushed open the Door of Radiance and stepped into a new world, a fierce white light erupted in front of him, and amidst a bout of dizziness, the surrounding scenery underwent a drastic change.

The Plague Forest outside the window had disappeared, replaced by a desolate plain. The grayish-white plain stretched to the horizon where silhouettes of churches were faintly visible, bathed in a crimson sunset.

The red sunset that gradually engulfed the silhouettes of the churches was an overwhelming blaze.

The voice of the star resonated in his ears.

[Saint An Su Moningsta...]

[Identity confird]

[Artificial Nether World—]

Unexpectedly, a sense of unease rose in his heart.

An Su had not yet fully observed his surroundings, and even before the celestial notifications had finished, he saw a dark shadow flash before him. An assassin wrapped in a long black robe had already closed in on him, an icy bone spike protruding from its elbow, instantly slashing toward An Su’s throat!

He hadn’t anticipated being elbowed as soon as he entered, and unable to dodged in ti, had to instinctively step back, barely avoiding the sharp edge. The bone spike grazed past An Su’s skin, drawing traces of blood.

This intensity is not right...

An Su’s pupils contracted slightly, feeling like the questioner was more eager for a speed run than he was.

The examination notice hadn’t even finished broadcasting, yet it had already started...?

And this outrageous door-killing move!

This design... seems like the designer was stabbed with a dagger by a teacher right when entering the school as a child!

If it weren’t for his saintly soul’s early warning, a typical Fourth Tier Magician caught by such a close-range sneak attack would likely be dead on the spot.

There’s simply no ti for chanting in close-quarters combat.

Having failed the initial strike, the assassin’s hood hid a stitched mouth gap from which thin white vapors erged. Its shape shifted, and the bone spike in its elbow drew a sinister arc in the night sky, coming at An Su again.

This ti, prepared, An Su was not so easily caught by the assassin. His body, strengthened by nurous sacrifices, was now a match for a Third Tier warrior. Although close combat was typically fatal for Magicians, An Su was an exception.

He slightly lowered his body, leaning his weight to one side to dodge the sharp bone spike, then stepped forward, his slender fingers pinching the Blood Dagger, lightly crushing it as if a painter dabbed his brush, scattering the crimson sky onto the assassin.

It had not anticipated An Su having this move. As the blood mist infiltrated the assassin’s lungs, Holy Water imdiately began scorching its organs.

Seizing the opportunity of its weakness, An Su’s left foot crushed the stone pavent and forcefully kicked into its abdon. The blow was mighty and heavy, causing the assassin’s body to first arch like a bow, with nurous air currents bursting forth. In the next instant, it was violently thrown backwards, smashing hard into the wall and raising a cloud of dust.

[Artificial Nether World: Dawn Approaches]

[Rank: Fifth Tier (Holy Tier)!]

The once-interrupted celestial broadcast resounded anew near An Su’s ear.

Not only reverberating in An Su’s ears but also echoing in all the spectators’ ears. Although the voice was deep and faint, it stirred tumultuous waves in everyone’s hearts.

How many...?

Everyone doubted their own hearing, even the most experienced and prestigious dignitaries stood up in unison, all displaying expressions of astonishnt. Fifth Tier? Holy Tier?
