Chapter 676: Chapter 29: Tongue, I XXX! (Part 2)
“Hmm.” Rocky put on a “that’s exactly right” smug face, “She originally couldn’t beat . If I hadn’t wanted to see what kind of power the legendary Seven Music Spell had, I wouldn’t have been injured by her.”
Rocky could only say this, otherwise, admitting he got scared and ran away after seeing the enchanted Seven Music Spell—unless the opponent’s body couldn’t hold out first—he’d have died on the spot, and were his injuries really just because of the cost of this finger?
How could he say that!?
But the current explanation wasn’t much better. Hearing Rocky received the Seven Music Spell head-on, Fenris’s expression turned strange, and his gaze was like he wasn’t looking at a normal person, which naturally made Rocky even more angry.
But before he could vent, a Knight hurried over: “Lord Bishop, the Star Relic Church has sent representatives to support us.”
“Star Relic Church?”
Rocky was first stunned, then he rembered there indeed was such a matter, the envoy from the Contract Land had said that people from the Star Relic Church would co to help.
Which ant, the three churches were gathering?
And then what about those three pieces of corpse blocks?
Rocky’s expression beca complicated, but he didn’t say much, rely suppressing his displeasure and nodding: “Let them co.”
Not long after, a middle-aged woman dressed in a starry magic robe was brought before Rocky, it was Isaiah’s student Mina.
Upon seeing Rocky and Fenris, Mina first gave a slight bow as a greeting, but before she could speak, her eyes caught sight of Rocky’s prominent right thumb, as if it was giving her a thumbs up—upon closer look, she found out it was the only finger left on Rocky’s right hand, which startled her further.
This imdiately made Rocky, who was trying to calm down, lose it again, almost blurting out “What the hell are you looking at?”, but rembering the person’s identity made him hold back.
“Are you Isaiah’s stu… hmm?” Rocky frowned, sensing sothing amiss, “Why is it another woman?!”
Why the word “another”?
Mina was puzzled, as she could sense an indescribable dread and aversion in Rocky’s words, but it wasn’t directed at her specifically; it seed to be against won.
Although she had heard that those from Rhein preferred talking to the sa sex, she hadn’t expected it to this extent.
“Mr. Isaiah is my teacher.” Regardless, maintaining basic decorum was necessary, “We were also summoned by the Contract Land, but since Rhein and Eternal Nightmare’s top officials are both here, he thinks there’s no need for him…”
The sentence stopped midway.
Because this was the mont she realized Rocky was clearly injured, and quite seriously, since his finger had been plucked off.
This ant they had already confronted that Taboo Scholar and had actually lost?
“Mr. Isaiah didn’t co in person?” Fenris said, “A troubleso helper has appeared beside that Taboo Scholar. If Mr. Isaiah could join us, we might stand a better chance.”
Then Fenris explained last night’s events to Mina.
After listening carefully, Mina’s brow also furrowed a little.
Even that Seven-Tone Player who turned the Holy Sound upside down had co, and joined with that Taboo Scholar.
Two dangerous individuals teaming up was indeed troubleso, no wonder Rocky got beaten up badly, losing even a finger.
But after plucking, why leave one behind? Was it left for him to give himself a thumbs-up?
That was just too insulting.
Of course, Mina only entertained this thought privately and wouldn’t say it out loud.
“I understand the situation broadly.” Mina nodded slightly, “I will report the situation to my teacher, but I’m unsure if he will co.”
“What?” Rocky said coldly, “It’s already like this, and he’s still hanging around the Naless Town watching?”
“Of course not watching.” Mina said, “It’s just that my teacher isn’t in good health. Everyone knows the Star Relic Land is on the edge of the continent. The journey here has already been a considerable burden on his body; he needs to rest to prepare for the upcoming gathering.”
Hearing this, even if Rocky was dissatisfied, he couldn’t continue to complain.
After all, in terms of rank, Isaiah from Star Relic’s position is comparable to their Pope; as a bishop, he naturally had to be cautious.
But if Isaiah doesn’t co, relying only on him and this sleeping Cult Leader to go against ‘the Tongue,’ Rocky thought he better figure out a way to escape.
Yet Mina spoke again: “Although my teacher can’t co personally, he has appointed to help, so the Star Relic Sect will contribute to the upcoming actions.”
“Oh, Miss Mina, is it?” Fenris’s eyes lit up, and he imdiately asked, “As the chief disciple of Mr. Isaiah, you must be very powerful, right?”
Mina shook her head: “No, my teacher’s strength is too transcendent. Even though I’ve been with him since childhood and worked diligently, I’ve only learned about thirty percent of his skills.”
Rocky was imdiately unsatisfied: “How co only thirty percent?”
“There’s no helping it. My teacher is too powerful, and learning thirty percent already makes the best among his students.” Mina said earnestly, “But please believe , I can be of assistance, especially on clear nights, which allow to utilize my full strength.”
Fenris nodded slightly; they were aware of the Star Relic Sect’s characteristics.
“Let’s discuss our next plan.” Fenris said, “We must continue the crusade. We cannot leave the Taboo Scholar unchecked; once he masters that knowledge, it would be catastrophic for us all. However, I wonder if Bishop Rocky can handle it.”
Rocky widened his eyes: “What the hell, how could I no…”
Before he could finish, his face suddenly froze, and his once angry pupils gradually lost focus.
“Bishop Rocky?” Fenris quickly noticed Rocky’s abnormality, “What’s wrong with you?”
Rocky didn’t respond but slowly fell backward, then with a “thud,” fainted into the carriage like he had passed out.
Fenris was shocked, he only ant to encourage Rocky; he didn’t expect to knock him out!
Would this be considered murder?
Fortunately, the waiting Rhein Priests noticed and hurriedly surrounded him.
“Don’t worry, Lord Bishop is just tired.”
“Yes, you two please go back first.”
The two Rhein Priests skillfully moved Rocky into the carriage and closed the door in one seamless motion, so by the ti Fenris and Mina reacted, the carriage door was already locked.
“What’s going on?” Fenris puzzledly scratched his head, “Why do they seem so unsurprised? Does Bishop Rocky always have this problem?”
Mina said nothing; she simply stared pensively at the carriage door.
If it’s just ordinary fainting, it’s nothing, given Rhein’s constant pursuit of living without restraint to the point of bodily dysfunction is normal.
But Mina had recently seen a similar situation in another person.
That person was her teacher, Isaiah.
And her teacher’s fainting was due to Taoyuan Village’s summoning.
Mina squinted slightly, pondering.
Could it be that Bishop Rocky is also a holder of a corpse block?
Within Taoyuan Village, an angry roar resounded throughout the entire space.
“Tongue, fuck you!”
