Chapter 727: Kuang Xin is unaffected by 539_2
"They have realized it, and your teacher has realized it too," Sogros' swollen, ragged, and thick forefinger swept across the vast steel cavern, finally resting on the girl not far from his side, "So, what about you?"
"Me?" The girl lowered her head again, a hint of confusion flickering in her eyes.
'Could what he said actually be right?'
If illnesses no longer caused pain and suffering, nor made one feel the passing of life, then the illnesses themselves would no longer signify any calamity.
If everyone could really join this big family, then there would indeed be no need to constantly dispute over the scarce resources for living in this world, and the peaceful era of our dreams would naturally descend.
The teacher was such a knowledgeable, talented, and even wise and kind person; the path he approved of was probably the right one, right?
However, in the corner of her eye, the sight of the swordswoman who had never given up the fight inadvertently broke into her train of thought.
The guardian enforcer Miss, really... was quite beautiful!
Why, then, transform into such an unsightly and appalling form?
"I think, this is wrong..."
The girl whispered softly.
Her will grew more and more determined.
The Spiritual Energy within her was now completely centered around her will.
As her conviction shifted with firmness, the previously stable high-dimensional channels suddenly began to flicker.
Chains of light like beams of light tightly constrained the girl's limbs, and the pain in her body constantly assaulted her senses.
But she had grown accustomed to this kind of piercing torture; pain had never been able to dissolve her will. In fact, under the challenge of such willpower, her level of Spiritual Energy continued to grow and advance.
It was because of this talent and heart, which others did not possess, that she had been able to qualify as a channel for the Eternal Fiend Great Demons to pass through.
It was also because of this talent and heart, which others did not possess, that she could now completely reverse the high-dimensional channel with herself at its core.
"I think, this is wrong."
The girl slowly flipped head over heels, causing even the chains of light binding her to twist into a twisted shape.
Since the channel had opened, the invisible whirlwind of Spiritual Energy that had been spinning in the right direction started to abruptly reverse at this moment, its counter-spinning force pulling all the little demons on the circular plaza back into it, drawing them into the oval light hole above the platform.
An endless suction force from within the light hole targeted Sogros' back, but for the first time, a look of furious anger appeared on the face of this ever-smiling defiler.
He retrieved a bone staff topped with a skull from nowhere and nonchalantly tapped it towards the grey light hole above.
Subsequently, the reversing whirlwind stopped, the boundless suction force stopped, and the figures of the little demons being pulled into the light hole... also paused within that eternally shrinking moment of change.
Sogros' eyes were intently fixed on the girl, filled with a profound sorrow, "I had high hopes for you to become the most powerful child under our 'Benevolent Father.' I firmly believed that you could grow to surpass me. But... you should not have rejected me!"
"Reject your ass!"
A fierce axe blow suddenly smashed towards Sogros' fat head from the side.
Kuang Xin, wielding a massive axe, descended from the sky and cleaved down!
"Pfft!"
The attack, having been blessed through the ritual, now carried the potent addition of Spiritual Energy burning power, slicing into the flesh as effortlessly as a hot knife through butter, cutting in half an inch instantly.
Caught by surprise and utterly unprepared for the attack, Sogros' spellcasting was abruptly interrupted mid-way. The little demons, whose bodies had been shrinking and diminishing to a point while being pulled into the channel, were once again swept up in the rotation back into the light orb.
The ferocious suction once again acted on Sogros' back, causing the flesh there to stretch in a grotesque manner.
Kuang Xin, who took a step back after landing with his axe in hand, looked defiantly at the giant figure before him that was more than twice his own height, "Being that ugly and you still dare to recruit people? Haven't you looked at yourself in the mirror to see what you look like?"
Damnit, orcs are ugly! Demons of desire are ugly! There are no good-looking creatures in this game!
Elves are somewhat better to look at, but he has absolutely no interest in those slim, scrawny types!
Fuck, every single one of them is so damn ugly, what else can they do if not fight?
Fuck your mom!
"Holy shit! Xin!"
"Kuang Xin! My God!"
Gu Lan and Dai Lian were howling from a distance.
"How the hell can you still have weapons?!"
"I'm a Saint Heir, a bit of privilege makes sense, right?" Kuang Xin tilted his face, smugly satisfied.
He looked at the big guy in front of him, his face full of provocation and combativeness.
During the recent ceremony, he had absorbed a considerable amount of power—physical energy +1.2, insight +0.9, reflexes +1.1, mystique +2.0, Spiritual Energy +50/50.
Such violent growth made him feel a wild power rampaging inside, craving to vent crazily, but oddly there was some kind of barrier that kept this impulsive outburst somewhat muted, like scratching an itch through a boot, unable to truly satisfy.
But anyhow, doing something was always right!
"You..." Sogros stared at Kuang Xin's eyes, full of surprise, "How is that even possible!"
The authority granted by the merciful father was always accurate, and the "sacrifice" provided for the so-called "Saint Heir"'s arrival was genuine and substantial.
While he would not be wholly annihilated, it had been a given that a great demon, only slightly weaker than himself, would possess him.
Coming into the material world, he considered that anyone could be his enemy on this trip, but he never imagined that this certain comrade, taken for granted, would turn against him.
Not to mention that, at this moment, it seemed like his opponent was entirely unaffected by possession or the toxic cloud's influence, showing none of the reactions a normal human should have.
"Be careful! Use your Spiritual Energy to resist the toxic cloud, or your strength will be severely limited!" Gong Yan called out from outside the battlefield.
Fighting within the toxic cloud, the enemies gained a slight boost, yet they had to use their Spiritual Energy to counteract the various negative effects the cloud brought, such as blindness, weakness, reduced mobility, impaired vision, and so on. This give and take was why they struggled even against armed Believers who were merely regular humans with guns.
"I know!" Kuang Xin, reminded, fixed his gaze on his opponent. He realized that the pulling force effective only on demons might not be of much use against this big guy, "But it doesn't affect me!"
Kuang Xin grinned, "After all, I am still their Saint Heir!"
Even though he openly rebelled, the other party's area-of-control toxic cloud still didn't update its friend-or-foe detection program in time—obviously a bunch of idiots!
Hehe!
Sogros casually waved his staff-carrying right hand toward the gray light hole above his head, and the force pulling at his flesh instantly vanished.
When he fully focused his attention on the small creature challenging him, Sogros invoked his high-dimensional authority.
To deceive the authority descended from the merciful father, even at the most basic level of detection, meant that the opponent possessed an incredibly formidable background.
So with a single glance, Sogros's eyes narrowed into a dangerous slit.
There were several different auras on his opponent...
To cheat the authority from the merciful father, one must possess a comparable authority for cover...
"We four sides don't interfere with each other's waters..." Sogros stared intently at Kuang Xin, his dull voice sounding somewhat naive, "We've been at peace for so long, there's no need to cause unnecessary disputes."
Kuang Xin fiercely didn't give a damn, "Who the hell is with you four-siders?!"
His hands itched for a fight—he just wanted to brawl!
His axe gleamed, and Kuang Xin took the offensive!
Sogros, who had been patient up until then, could no longer hold back, "I have given you enough respect!"
"Whoosh!"
A green Energy Bullet shot out from the bone staff, heading straight for Kuang Xin!
