CHAPTER 718: Comprehension of the Domain
At this moment, the cardinal of the church of light, holding the Staff of Light, gently raised the staff and softly chanted a few spells. A light shield appeared in front of the pope and his companions, protecting them within the light.
Another ninth-level expert was about to raise his Sword of Judgment, but it seemed he sensed something and suddenly dodged to the side.
However, even then, he did not completely evade the attack. Instantly, four deep wounds appeared on his left arm, with flesh torn and blood gushing out.
At this time, Berry's figure also appeared about ten meters away from the injured cardinal. Unlike the gentle demeanor she had when with Zhao Hai, her fingernails now extended over a foot long, glistening with a cold light, looking quite terrifying. Her right hand, except for the thumb, was stained with blood, and four drops were dripping down from her nails.
Berry giggled, her laughter still sweet but sending chills down people's spines. While laughing, she raised her bloody nails to her face, sticking out her little tongue to lightly lick the blood off her nails. This seductive action became particularly sinister due to the blood on her tongue.
Zhao Hai realized that Berry's attack was not limited to her nails; even her laughter and previous actions were forms of mental attacks. The succubus controlled her mental attacks so well that they were incredibly subtle, making it impossible for ordinary ninth-level experts to detect them. If Zhao Hai hadn’t enhanced his mental power, he would have missed it too.
Zhao Hai looked at Berry with some surprise, not expecting her to have such a wild side, which truly astonished him.
The three members of the church of light were also very surprised; they had not sensed Berry sneaking up on them, which seemed impossible.
All three were the strongest experts in the church of light; otherwise, they wouldn't be wielding divine artifacts. Because of this, they were very confident in their abilities and did not believe anyone could silently approach them.
What they did not understand was the prowess of the succubus clan's stealth. Zhao Hai had already reached divine-level strength, and he had inadvertently fallen for Berry's trick, let alone them, who were merely ninth-level experts.
Berry let out another seductive laugh and slowly began to disappear. The three members of the church were startled; the one holding the magic circle quickly added several layers of shields around them, while the pope opened the Holy Codex once more.
While Berry attacked the cardinal, Xu Wanying’s clone had already wiped out the ninth-level experts of the church of light. Given their absolute numerical superiority and comparable strength, the church's ninth-level experts had no chance of resistance.
Zhao Hai waved his hand, enveloping the members of the church of light in a dark mist. When the black gas dissipated, the church members had already turned into undead beings. Zhao Hai pointed at the eighth-level experts of the church; those undead beings immediately charged towards them.
This time, Zhao Hai did not transform those undead into skeletons but rather into zombies, maintaining their original appearances. This was significant as the church members watched their comrades get killed, which was already shocking enough. But now, they had to confront those former friends and superiors, weapons drawn and approaching them with cold expressions, which terrified them.
Under these circumstances, how could the morale of the church members hold up? Moreover, the ninth-level experts released by Zhao Hai were exceedingly strong, leading to a chaotic massacre.
At this moment, Xu Wanying encountered trouble; the light sword kept entangling him and was incredibly powerful. Xu Wanying had unleashed over ten shadowy projections of his ax, yet he still couldn't block the light sword.
Just then, the pope released another light sword, targeting Xu Wanying again. After launching this light sword, he did not close the Holy Codex but instead solemnly stated, "God says, all illusions in my eyes are real, Eye of Truth!"
