Chapter 615 - Blind Faith
GDK 615: Blind Faith
“Forget about finding the attackers for the time being. The most crucial thing right now is to protect the pillars of the empire below us.” From that murderous face of Han Shuo’s, Ayermike Cotton could tell that he was about to seek those aggressors deploying the forbidden light magic and finish them all.
However, if Han Shuo were to leave in search of the casters right away, then there would be one less powerful shield to protect those at the plaza down below. From all the signs he gathered, the forbidden magic ‘Radiant Blast’ ought to be jointly deployed by several experts of the Church of Light. Even Ayermike Cotton did not have complete certainty of protecting every person below on his own.
“Right. Let’s shield the people below from the power of the Radiant Blast.” Han Shuo snapped out of his fantasy after hearing the reminder. He did not rush to seek and destroy the Church of Light aggressors.
On this subject, something was really baffling Han Shuo. His consciousness had an extremely expansive coverage area. Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, he should be able to locate at least a trail of those aggressors. He had fully concentrated his attention into tracking the havoc makers as soon as he spotted abnormalities with the element of light above the plaza. However, most unexpectedly, he couldn’t detect the whereabouts of those aggressors. This situation was obviously rather odd.
“What’s the matter? Why has the sun suddenly become so glaring? It’s making me dizzy and uncomfortable.”
“Yeah, for some reason, I’m absolutely stifled. Could it be that a rainstorm will pour down soon?”
On the plaza, those clueless nobilities raised their heads and looked all around with their hands shielding their eyes from the sun. Although most of these people of high positions had little to no experience in magic or martial art, nonetheless, they could sense that something was wrong.
As for those experts with unordinary achievements in their cultivation, they could faintly sense danger from the abnormality of the elemental energy of light. However, as it was the top-notch experts of the Church of Light who were deploying the ‘Radiant Blast’ magic, most of these people couldn’t give a precise explanation for the irregularity they sensed.
“Something isn’t quite right,” Lawrence, the King of Lancelot Empire, although poor in martial arts, was able to sense danger in the stifling atmosphere around him.
“Don’t worry. With Bryan here, not a thing will happen to us,” Fanny, who had just claimed her position as chancellor announced, standing on stage confident and smiling. It was as though she wasn’t worried at all.
“Yep. If that brat is here, this place will definitely be safe. You bunch of cowards, what are you all afraid about? Perhaps you will actually get killed if you run away from this area where Bryan could watch over.” After witnessing Han Shuo’s might, Firenze now had blind faith in Han Shuo, just as Fanny had. He looked at the cowardly ones disdainfully and ridiculed them.
After hearing from Lawrence, Fanny, and Firenze, those who intended on making an escape turned hesitant. Then, when they saw the three standing their ground so calmly, after weighing in their minds for a while, they decided to stay behind as well. However, they were still shivering and had no certainty of their fate.
They gasped, “The sky is turning dark!” As those adults considered their choices, a tender cry of surprise rose through the air.
When the crowd raised their heads and looked, they found the bright sky to be suddenly covered by layers of dark clouds. Those dark clouds looked like they were formed out of squid ink, and had blocked off the gaudy, brilliant radiance coming from the sky.
The view was as though a giant painting of the night sky had been rolled open, turning the sunny afternoon into pitch-black midnight.
While this unusual phenomenon occurred in the sky, a sinister, eerie aura enveloped the plaza. Multiple bloody radiances launched and fused with the dark clouds. They seemed to be altering the properties of the layers of dark clouds, making them even thicker and firmer.
“Bryan has made a move. Don’t worry, we will be alright.” Lawrence was so relieved when he saw the bloody radiances in the sky that he simply had to shout it out.
Having befriended Han Shuo for many years, Lawrence was long aware that aside from necromancy magic, Han Shuo also cultivated in an extremely mysterious martial art. Lawrence was one of those few who had seen him deploy his demonic arts. Therefore, as soon as Lawrence saw the bloody radiance, he became certain of his conjecture and knew that Han Shuo had taken action in protecting them from the Radiant Blast.
“That’s right. Bryan has taken action,” Candide calmed the crowd. He too let out an obvious sigh of relief.
Those with deep relations with Han Shuo and those who had seen Han Shuo strike were all greatly relieved. They blindly believed that Han Shuo could neutralize the threat of the forbidden magic that was targeting them. However, most of the nobilities and students who didn’t know Han Shuo that well were not as confident. They looked all around anxiously and were ready to flee for their lives at any moment.
Han Shuo, who had been putting on defenses with Ayermike Cotton and Graeae on the clocktower, sensed that the ‘Radiant Blast’ spell had ripened. “It’s coming! Get ready!”
