Chapter 837 - The Praying of Tens of Thousands of Believers

Chapter 837: The Praying of Tens of Thousands of Believers (Part One)

[TL Note: Hey guys, this chapter is longer than an ordinary chapter, so we broke it down into three parts.]

After hearing the arrogant laughter of the golden skeleton, Fei subconsciously inspected that mysterious stone pillar inside his body.

Just as the golden skeleton said, Fei wasn’t sure when, but the mysterious stone pillar started to tremble slightly, and it was sending Fei a mystical emotion which was filled with unwillingness.

At the same time, the cosmos which was created by the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace] started to release a strange energy wave. It was light and gentle like waves on a beach; it wasn’t trying to attack Fei at all. However, there was a hidden and vicious power which was hard to detect. It wasn’t trying to harm Fei; it was only trying to dilute and weaken the blood-like connection between Fei and the mysterious stone pillar.

“Since the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace] doesn’t attack me directly on the surface, my life is in no immediate danger. As a result, this mysterious stone pillar, which is the [Scepter of Creation], won’t release its power and break this god-tier magic array for me… All of this means that this golden skeleton knows about the [Scepter of Creation] better than me. He tried his best and planned this perfect trap. This trap has no weakness since this golden skeleton has thought of everything.” Fei was quite shocked when he thought everything through.

There were insane secrets on this golden skeleton; its identity was a giant mystery in itself.

Fei guessed that this monster was a powerful entity during the ancient Mythical Era. Otherwise, he wouldn’t call himself a god, and he wouldn’t know so many ancient secrets.

Besides, if he weren’t mighty in the ancient times, he wouldn’t have appeared beside the Mythical Altar, and he wouldn’t have been able to instantly recognize the [Throne of Chaos] and the [Scepter of Creation]. Most importantly, if he weren’t insanely strong, he wouldn’t be able to escape after his flesh corroded away and his skeleton was the only thing left.

This entity was like a living fossil. It didn’t matter who was standing against this monster; they would tremble in fear.

In the last few encounters, Fei was able to obtain a little advantage. However, he ultimately fell into the trap that was set up by this monster who calculated carefully.

When Fei pulled that half of the [Scepter of Creation] out of this skeleton, it felt like he opened Pandora’s Box, releasing demons and tragedies into the world. However, if he didn’t do that, both Angela and Elena would have died.

Could it be that all of this was determined by fate?

“I have to think of a way to break out. D’Alessandro is leading more than 40 Moon-Class Elites toward Zenit, and they will probably arrive in about six to seven days. No one can predict what is going to happen next. Both the Zenit Empire and the Chambord Kingdom will be in immense danger. I have to hurry back… but this magic array…” Fei forced himself to calm down and start thinking of a possible solution.

…

Outside the magic array, that golden skeleton finally slowly calmed down.

While he observed Fei as if he were a cat looking at a mouse, the red light in his eyes finally dimmed down and disappeared, and his white hair which was fluttering without wind also slowly fell back down. The evil and murderous aura could no longer be sensed from him as he returned to the decision maker of the church inside the Leon Empire. No one was able to tell that a terrifying demon was hidden inside this genial and kind body.

As he slowly walked out of the hall of the No.1 Church of Leon, more than 20 priests were standing on both sides of the gate respectfully. They were of various levels, and they were all wearing black uniform robes with white crosses on them. When they saw Priest John, they bowed to greet him.

“Tragedy fell upon the region, and the devil has visited the realm of gods. Right now, this devil is locked inside the godly array in the hall of the church. I need all the kids in the Gerland Parish to open their arms and contribute their power. They have to pray to the gods and increase the power of the godly array to melt this terrifying devil.”

Bishop John issued an order.

“As you wish!” None of the priests dared to voice any objections.

Soon, the bell inside the No.1 Church which hadn’t been rung for many years sounded again, and orders were being sent into the Gerland Parish quickly. More than 60,000 people who were priests, priests-in-training, holy knights, holy knight apprentices… All the members of the Holy Church in the region were woken up from their meditation and sleep or disrupted from their work, and they kneeled and prayed the gods sincerely while holding crosses in their hands.

Streaks of silver holy power flowed out of their bodies and appeared in the air. Soon, these streaks of holy power merged and became thick rivers. Gradually, many thick streams of white energy flowed in the sky and rushed toward the tall and majestic No.1 Church in the center of the region like the milky way, disappearing into it.

This was a type of terrifying force!

With the continuous injection of holy power, the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace] inside the No.1 Church grew brighter and brighter. The white lines and energy paths emitted blinding light, and the entire hall became a sea of holy power. The white energy flames enveloped everything.

This god-tier magic array was being used to its maximum, and it was outputting a unique energy, trying to wash Fei who was in its center.

From Fei’s perspective, the cosmos which he was in became even more profound and mysterious. The stars in this cosmos grew even brighter, and the space around him became more real, completely fooling his senses.

Also, that strange energy coming at him from all directions like a flood also became more powerful.

Like a godly lullaby, Fei became a little dizzy and sleepy, and even his thoughts became slow like snails that fell into a swamp.

Many mystical energy fragments flashed in Fei’s mind. Although it seemed like they were orderless, the king could clearly sense that they were rushing toward that mysterious [Scepter of Creation] in his body.

This process was overbearing, and Fei could only accept it passively.

Fei wasn’t able to resist, and the mysterious stone pillar was also only shaking lightly, looking like a drunk toddler who was still enjoying more liquor. It seemed like it couldn’t resist this energy and absorbed all of it with a little unwillingness.

Fei felt more and dizzier.

…

“This energy…”

Emperor Juninho of Leon was still chatting with Buckingham inside the Royal Palace, and he suddenly detected something. He stood up from his throne abruptly and looked toward the direction of the region of the Holy Church inside Gerland City through the stone window. In the direction, he saw many white flames burning in the sky as if someone were trying to wash the dark sky with milk. It was beautiful yet strange.

“What is happening? How come the Holy Church rang their warning bell and is treating this as a grand invasion?” Emperor Juninho became serious.

At this moment, Buckingham also discovered something. After a moment of thought, he looked shocked and surprised as if he suddenly thought of something.

“You know what is going on? What is happening?” Emperor Juninho noticed Buckingham’s change of expressions.

“This… should be caused by the King of Chambord. He must be after that mysterious master…” Buckingham didn’t try to hide anything from this great ruler whom he respected and admired a lot, so he told Emperor Juninho everything about that blood-red skeleton, and how much emphasis that the King of Chambord placed on this mysterious master. In the end, he thought for a bit and added, “For something, I feel like the King of Chambord is really worried about this. In fact, he is putting more emphasis on this issue compared to the slandering from D’Alessandro. If I’m not wrong, he must have tried to find this mysterious master in the Gerland Parish of the Holy Church before leaving and saving Zenit.”
