Chapter 720: The Divine Race Appears
In this enormous hand, there was a rope made of countless thin strands, looking somewhat terrifying, resembling strands of hair.
Zhao Hai slowly withdrew his psychic power from the shadow puppet, and he understood that the giant flying claw, which was about the same size as Xu Wanying's axe, was none other than Berry's domain.
Berry's domain seemed to have three main abilities. The first was invisibility; Berry's domain inherently had an invisibility function that was more advanced than her own. Even the light magic couldn’t break through the invisibility of her domain.
The second ability was likely the grabbing function of the giant flying claw. The claw wouldn’t have taken that shape without reason, so Zhao Hai believed that this flying claw had other uses, possibly being as flexible as Berry's hand.
The third function might be psychic attacks. The rope behind the flying claw was definitely not an ordinary rope; otherwise, it wouldn't have looked like strands of hair. Zhao Hai boldly concluded that this rope might have the ability to execute psychic attacks.
Just as Zhao Hai was speculating, the giant flying claw moved. It lunged forward and grabbed onto the protective shield surrounding the pope and his two companions. The shield flickered and was directly shattered in two places, only stopping at the third layer, thanks to the red-clad cardinal wielding the Staff of Light, who had taken precautions by creating multiple layers of shields. Otherwise, this attack would have surely left the pope and his companions seriously injured or worse.
The pope and his companions gasped in shock, not understanding how their two layers of shields had been broken so suddenly. But they quickly thought of Berry, as they had just seen her go invisible, and now they were suddenly under attack without knowing who was behind it, which naturally led them to associate it with Berry.
However, they couldn’t find any trace of Berry. Just as the mage with the Staff of Light was about to reinforce their shields, Xu Wanying moved.
Xu Wanying had been keeping an eye on the pope's actions. Upon seeing Berry suddenly disappear, he was taken aback for a moment before swiftly cleaving downwards with his axe, breaking through the two layers of shields. At this moment, the pope and his companions were left with only one layer of protection.
Berry seized the opportunity; the rope behind the flying claw suddenly moved, and with a fierce whip, it coiled around the pope's protective shield, then stopped moving.
At that moment, Zhao Hai noticed that the three members of the church of light had all stopped moving, standing there as if they had turned into clay statues.
Zhao Hai knew that these three had fallen victim to Berry's psychic magic. They likely thought they were still in a battle with Berry's Xu Wanying, totally oblivious to the fact that they weren’t moving at all.
Zhao Hai realized that this time, Berry had won. Although the pope and his allies possessed three divine artifacts, artifacts, no matter how powerful, were not truly divine-level experts, so they could not escape Berry's psychic attack.
Under Zhao Hai's watch, Berry's flying claw lifted once more, gently placing its claw on the pope's last layer of shield. Then, the claw tightened as if it were a fist, violently smashing through the last protective barrier.
The flying claw slowly approached the pope. Just as it reached above the pope's head, ready to take him down, a sudden burst of white light erupted from the Holy Codex, blocking the attack. At the same time, the pope and his companions suddenly regained their senses.
Meanwhile, Xu Wanying took the opportunity to unleash several axe shadows aimed directly at the pope and his companions. Before they could react, the Sword of Judgment flew out of the red-clad cardinal's hand, spinning and blocking all of Xu Wanying's attacks.
Following this, the Staff of Light emitted several protective shields, encasing the pope and his companions in the center. They were momentarily stunned by the sudden change, but then joy filled their hearts. As they reached for the three divine artifacts once more, an ancient voice echoed, "You dare to attack my divine race's servant? You shall face the punishment of my divine race!"
