Chapter 631: The Indifferent Jin Spirit Clan
Aokazha furrowed his brows and said, “Your Excellency the Cardinal, this is no joke. Are you saying that the sacred artifact was bestowed by the supreme deity? Otherwise, how could it restrain space?”
Joshua shook his head and sighed, “Although this sacred artifact was not given to our Church of Light by the supreme deity, it holds great significance for us. Previously, several spatial aberrant mages appeared on Ark Continent 6, and they were very difficult to deal with. Not only do they have strong attack power, but they can also escape without anyone being able to stop them. Our Church of Light once clashed with a spatial aberrant mage and suffered a significant loss.”
Aokazha and Alexis both nodded in agreement. They were well-versed individuals, and it was known that spatial techniques were notoriously hard to handle on Ark Continent 6. If one encountered a spatial aberrant mage, they would find a way to counter you, and if they wanted to escape, you wouldn't be able to catch them. That was precisely what made spatial aberrant mages so challenging to deal with.
Joshua continued in a deep voice, “Later, our thirty-first pope, at some point, discovered that he could use spatial techniques. However, he was also very clear that no one knew how this aberrant technique was acquired, nor did anyone know how to pass it on. So he thought of another way—he used himself as an experiment. He combined alchemy with ancient magic formations and, after many years of research, created a set of metallic magic formations specifically designed to restrain space and nullify spatial techniques. He dedicated his whole life to this, and during the experiments, he even sacrificed his life. Therefore, the thirty-second pope personally designated this set of magic formations as the sacred artifact of the Church of Light.”
Aokazha and Alexis could not help but show expressions of shock. They never expected there would be such a crazy person who used himself for experimentation just to deal with those who employed spatial techniques. After the shock, both showed expressions of admiration.
Alexis sighed, calming his emotions, and said, “With such a treasure, that would be wonderful. As long as we find Zhao Hai and set up this magic formation around him, we will be able to…”
Aokazha nodded and said, “I have already sent a letter to the clan. The clan leader has dispatched five ninth-level dragons to join the battle. However, during the fight, we can only use the Water-Repelling Dragon Pearl, which affects our attack power. Thus, the main force will still be the sea dragon clan.”
Joshua nodded, “Indeed, although that set of magic formations is extremely marvelous, its range is limited and can only restrain spatial aberrant techniques. It will have no effect on ordinary movements, so if we want to deal with Zhao Hai, we must think of a foolproof plan.”
Alexis nodded and turned to Yake, “Yake, do you have a way to lure Zhao Hai over? We just need to set up the magic formation in advance, lure Zhao Hai into the formation, and then send in experts to surround him. This is the only way.”
Yake nodded, “This shouldn’t be difficult. We can launch an attack tomorrow, then slowly retreat to draw Zhao Hai out. Today, Zhao Hai gained a significant advantage here; I believe he won’t let us off easily. Even if we don’t attack, I can push our defensive line forward and then gradually retreat while engaging Zhao Hai, leading him into the encirclement.”
Alexis nodded, “Alright, let’s do it this way. Don’t make any moves in the next few days. Focus on defense. Once the dragon clan’s experts and the sacred artifacts of the Church of Light arrive, we will eliminate Zhao Hai in one fell swoop. Once Zhao Hai is taken care of, we can clean up the mermaid clan.”
Aokazha nodded, “Dealing with the mermaid clan is tough, but it’s not without solutions. We just need to draw their forces here and then the dragon clan can send a large group to attack Mermaid Island. When the mermaid clan's lair is lost, it won't be a significant threat anymore.”
