Chapter 166: The Griffin
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as it appeared, the Icicle went straight towards the furious Andrew.
Andrew saw it ing and immediately chanted a spell to produce a layer of stone wall above his head. He meant to block the Icicle that Benjamin had summoned. However, right after the two collided, the stone wall crumbled to shreds as if it was a piece of rotten wood. It could not stop the momentum of the Icicle even by the slightest bit.
"Master Bishop, save me!" Having seen this, Andrew was extremely shocked and began asking for help in a panic.
The Bishop gave him a look. He did not seem very willing to save Andrew. But after a slight moment of silence, the Bishop still decided to lend a hand. A Shield of Holy Light appeared on top of Andrew’s head, saving him from the icicle.
"Thank… Thank you Master Bishop….." Even though he was still frightened, Andrew did not forget to express his gratitude towards the Bishop sincerely.
Upon watching this, Benjamin was sneering in his heart.
Is he thinking that he will be fine now?
Thinking about this, Benjamin suddenly spoke in a loud voice. "Don’t you want to know what happened at the Imperial Capital? Whether the Pope is dead or alive? Fine, I will tell you what happened."
His words immediately caught the attention of the Bishop.
"So you DO know what transpired."
But Benjamin did not continue to talk. Instead, he once again casted the Icebreaking Spell, producing more than twenty Ice Arrows. In a blink of an eye, he began attacking Andrew, who was still under the protection of the Shield of Holy Light.
The truth is, he did not know what happened to the Pope at all. His words before were just to divert the attention of the Bishop so he would have the chance to kill Andrew.
Andrew MUST die.
For the sake of the others in the Mage Group, he had to do this!
The change in Benjamin was rather abrupt. In addition to that, everyone was focusing on whether the Pope was dead or alive, so no one was quick enough to react. Because of this, no one was able to help Andrew.
Under the double attack of Ice Arrows and Icicle, the Bishop’s sloppily maintained shield was destroyed. Andrew, who was previously protected under the shield, was not able to react to this change. As a result, he was pierced through his chest by a few Ice Arrows. As Andrew’s blood spurted out along with a little ice shred, the Bishop who looked like he loved being clean all the time, dodged the spurt of blood.
"You..."
Andrew fell to the ground in disbelief.
Benjamin gave him a cold stare as Andrew took his last breath.
If it was possible, he would want to behead Andrew and bring his head back to let others in the Guild to see so the others would be able to release their resentment as well. However, in this situation, he could not just do whatever that he wanted. Killing that man was already enough for him.
It was about time to go. He should flee now.
In reality, just as he had predicted, he could already hear the piercing eagle’s cry from afar.
"Have you caused enough trouble?" The Bishop’s tone was emotionless. It was as if he did not care about Andrew’s death at all. Nor did he notice the eagle’s cry which came from afar. He said, "Now, quickly, tell me what truly happened to His Highness the Pope?"
Benjamin flashed a smile to him and said, "Okay, let me tell you this. The Pope is actually dead. The one who showed up previously was actually a puppet manipulated by the Bishop in the Imperial Capital. "
The Bishop was stunned upon hearing this.
"Are, are you speaking the truth?"
Benjamin simply smiled. He did not say a word more.
Of course this was not the truth. He did not even have much impression of the Pope. He only took a glance of him once at the fire execution ground. How would he know what truly happened then? The reason he said this was only to divert the attention of the Bishop, so that it would be easier for him to escape.
Well, of course, if the Bishop believed what he said and fought even more furiously with the Bishop in the Imperial Capital, Benjamin would be glad to see this happening. It was monly said that "those who love drama in life do not mind how big or small the drama is
