Chapter 816: Chapter 195: Holy Image Destroyer!

Helquinn?

— He’s merely a Dragon Knight.

If he had come here riding a dragon, Ernino might have been a bit apprehensive and called on the Supreme Heaven to kill him.

But without his dragon, he’s just a vengeful spirit of a Dragon Knight who died somehow—what does it matter if he reached the Sixth Power Level because of his deep-seated grudge?

It was revealed to him by the Supreme Heaven that reaching the Sixth Power Level through “Profession” and “Heritage” offers a much higher achievement than reaching it through becoming a Phantom Demon!@@novelbin@@

If one can reach the Sixth Power Level through Profession and Heritage, then after death, they are almost certain to become an Apostle of the Pillar God.

They could even establish themselves as a Celestial Marshal…

Conversely, even Transcendents who were only at the third or fourth energy levels in life have a chance to become Phantom Demons of the Sixth Level or even higher after death.

Your Level in life is what counts; after death, it’s just combat power!

Helquinn brought chaos to the Kingdom, and by slaying him, one could undoubtedly become a “Hero”!

[Reputation]is a form of strength!

[Faith]is also a form of strength!

“— This is my answer, Supreme Heaven!

My great father!

This is the gift I offer to you, another possibility on the Path of Strength!”

Ernino closed his eyes, whispering reverently.

At his side, the Endless Blade kept emerging endlessly, whooshing forward — shattering and incinerating all enemies before him, utterly obliterating them!

While the priests by his side froze.

Most of them disapproved of Ernino’s defiance of the Giant traditions.

Now, they saw clearly—this was a usage completely different from that of Uther Galoch!

Uther Galoch preferred to condense the Wounded Branch into a sword identical to his own body, manipulating it with a non-existent phantom.

In effect, it was like countless non-existent, undefeatable warriors fighting the enemy.

One could say, this was the traditional method since ancient times…

Yet King Ernino only used “the least force,” slashing out the moment it condensed!

Precisely because it was small, it was also less costly.

It wasn’t about creating “countless Uther Galochs” to destroy the strong among the enemies; instead, he directly summoned a meteor storm that annihilated all enemies!

It wasn’t so much a battle, a war… it was closer to destruction.

It was terror, death, deterrence!

Not only deterring the enemies but also deterring them—intimidating these priests who had warned the Giant King to follow tradition!

Outside the city, the Skinless Ones were still confused by the sudden disappearance of their enemies but soon bellowed and charged at the Night Fiend.

Ernino also detached a section of the sword, flying it towards the Night Fiend like a bird, creating disturbances and suppression.

The wails in the city, the roars outside, together with the collapse of buildings and the rumbling of the earth, all erupted concurrently.

— But at that moment.

“Uh…”

Ernino suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, as if something foreign had appeared in his body.

It was as if a “second heart” had formed in his lower abdomen, rhythmically pulsing.

He shook his body.

His armored, massive body only took a few steps yet made the ground rumble and kicked up dust.

…It was a curse.

When?

Ernino was slightly startled internally but didn’t panic.

“Dispel the curse for me!”

He immediately ordered the priests around him.

As long as the Supreme Heaven was there, everything would get better…

Suddenly, from the ground he had been continuously bombarding, leisurely floated a jet-black thick smoke.

It transformed into a black long spear in mid-air, and with the speed of lightning, it plunged through Ernino’s abdomen!

The intense curse poured further into his body, causing that thing in his abdomen to instantly enlarge.

His stomach swelled suddenly, and the intense pain drenched Ernino in sweat.

“Quick!”

He immediately issued another command, feeling increasingly angry.

—You took the opportunity to attack me just because I moved the suppression slightly?

Thus, Ernino directed all the attacks aimed at the Night Fiend back towards the ruins, initiating a continuous bombardment toward the area where Helquinn was.

But at that moment—

A flash of lightning appeared before him, and a brave Lizardman Warrior wielding a sparking long halberd suddenly appeared from nowhere—killing three priests with just two moves!

And in the instant the lightning flashed.

A deep red sword quietly emerged from behind him, slashing ferociously toward Ernino’s neck!

Clang—!

That was supposed to be a decapitating surprise attack.

But at that moment, it struck a suddenly appearing red light shield!

However, Helquinn, emerging from the void, did not cease his attack.

It started with one slash.

After one slash, there were three.

The speed increased rapidly, almost forming a solid curtain of water—as if what he was wielding was not a “super-heavy” weapon weighing hundreds of kilograms, but a light drifting dagger.

In just an instant, the light shield was full of cracks.

Like the explosion-proof glass in front of a car enduring a harsh impact, it was not only full of cracks but some pieces had even fallen off.

Ernino’s attention was momentarily drawn by the Lizardman Warrior who suddenly appeared and killed three priests—he had never really been on a battlefield, nor had he ever fought a life-and-death battle with anyone.

The sudden death of the three “Cervical” level priests caused his body to go numb, and his mind went blank in an instant.

And by the time he regained his senses, it was too late.

The single successful strike from Helquinn, coming from behind Ernino, split him from his left shoulder to his spine!

Protected by the deep red armor bestowed by the Supreme Heaven, this fiercely intense strike, however, could not reach the bone!

Yet the suddenly wounded Ernino was drenched in cold sweat, his cries of agony sounding like the cries of an elephant.

Ernino knelt down, and the pain and anger fueled his fury.

The Giant King endured the pain, enlarging his left arm several times and swinging it rearward with a roar—

But even Ernino himself did not realize that at this moment, he unconsciously did not utilize the power of the “Wounded Branch,” which could instantly transport.

Because it was not originally his own, he couldn’t think of it in the first moments of the unexpected attack—

However, Helquinn once again vanished into the void, dodging his strike.

But at that moment, Ernino painfully grasped his own stomach.

It was the “Implosive Curse” from the Night Fiend!

Seeing the distant Night Fiend shaking his finger at him, the curse inside him drew on the pain from his back and grew rapidly.

But at that time, he was utterly unable to counterattack the Night Fiend.

He could only call back his sword, forming a wall of sword blades around himself, guarding against Helquinn’s surprise attacks.

However, “Helquinn” had no intention of continuing the fight.

With his own restraint, the curse from the Night Fiend was enough for him to endure…

Just a fifth power level with divine armor, he could not unleash the power of the Divine Artifact.

He held [Caligula’s Right Arm], slightly squinting his eyes.

He was charging forward, in an endless and murky yellow vista, charging with the posture of the dead.

Holding the deep red giant sword.

That was the weapon transformed from the apostle of Supreme Heaven, the “Tyrant” Caligula!

He had already killed the Patriarch of the Supreme Heaven, severely wounded the darling of the Supreme Heaven, and taken an arm from the Supreme Heaven Apostle.

And now, Aiwass’s target was…

The Holy Image of the Supreme Heaven venerated in the Royal Court!
