Chapter 305: Fluctuation Mirror

Chapter 305: Fluctuation Mirror



At the top of an administrative building, four or five fully armed guards lay dead, their faces frozen in terror.

Extor and Burgess, on the other hand, stood overlooking the Minster Trade District, gazing at the sudden appearance of a gigantic shadow of a little boy.

"High Priest, should we let Freeman control the Gaze Orb?" Burgess asked respectfully, standing tall beside Extor.

During Extor's 'retirement,' Freeman had vied for power with him and even managed to suppress him to some extent, causing Burgess to harbor significant resentment towards Freeman.

This time, the ancient evil artifact, the Gaze Orb, which Burgess had finally managed to retrieve, was being handed over to Freeman for control, making Burgess feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Why are you so untrusting?" Extor smiled.

"He's holding back a significant portion of Minster's forces. Isn't that a good thing?"

Another person Ren didn't recognize, a gray-robed wizard holding a wooden staff, was introduced by Neror as the Duke of Minster's advisor, a Second-Level Liquid Mage.

The original uninvited guest turned out to be from the Black Flame Cult! And the messenger who had just reported, now rushed in, panting, as if there was important news to convey.

"Yes, this time it's even more powerful. It directly took down a Quasi-Legendary from the cult with a single strike! It's so damn impressive!"

Furthermore, the person who was very likely to succeed Extor as the High Priest of the Minster Province, was brutally beaten by an unknown assailant who appeared out of nowhere! The critical point was that despite their formidable strength, they launched a surprise attack!

As soon as the words left his mouth, many in the audience immediately understood upon hearing the name 'Hunting God.'

Ren first comforted the beautiful lady Jennifer and instructed Vereri and Evelyn to protect her.

A group of people dressed in Peacekeeper and City Guard uniforms surrounded the area, while also evacuating the nearby civilians.

Ren slowly stood up and took a few steps back, choosing not to launch a direct attack for a specific reason.

Outside the window, black pillars of light shot into the sky, brimming with surging energy.

In simple terms, there wasn't a single capable fighter among them! The suppression function of the demon array was somewhat wasted.

But the next moment, the entire person was hit by a cylindrical shape of black flame, instantly turning into a burning human, letting out a painful wail! "Oh no! Evelyn!" The young and beautiful noblewoman covered her mouth in horror.

This scene naturally caught the attention of the Duke of Minster, Admiral Edward, and the ascetic monk from the imperial capital, their faces changing in shock.

Of course, in his eyes, the young people present were not even close to being Quasi-Legendary, let alone peak Great Knights.

The correct version can be found at 69 Book Bar!

"Burgess, do your best, I believe in you!" Extor patted Burgess's sturdy shoulder.

In the front row of the viewing platform, two people stood up. One was the Punishment Knight Brandul, whom Ren had met before.

"No wonder they call him the Maister Siege Hammer! The only mistake is in the name, not the nickname!" The new swordsman marveled.

At this moment, the hard surface of the ground showed a crater-like depression, with countless spider-web-like cracks radiating outwards.

"Your Excellency, do you mean I can also partake in this ceremony?" Burgess asked, his face filled with surprise and excitement.

"It's the Black Flame Church!"

In his anger, Burgess spat out blood, his face turning bright red! He struggled to stand up, wanting to launch an attack, but his hands were already shattered, and over ten ribs had broken, piercing his lungs, making his movements extremely difficult. After several failed attempts, he couldn't succeed.

"Burgess!" The Black Flame acolytes beside him stared in shock, unable to express their astonishment. Burgess was a Tier Two Demon Array user specializing in physical enhancement and combat.

Immediately, he was pulled into a long, transparent shadow, struggling to circle around Ren several times before being dragged into the dark, hardened mithril warhammer in Ren's hand! Ren's decisive strike against the cult's high-ranking member naturally inspired the audience to launch attacks on the surrounding Black Flame acolytes.

The Duke of Minster's eyebrows furrowed, and the next moment, he took out an ancient bronze mirror from his chest and shone it at Extor. A flash of light passed, and Extor disappeared from his original spot.

"It's appeared again! It's that hammer!" A newly knighted messenger, excitedly pointed at the pitifully battered Burgess and introduced him to his relatives.

He stepped forward again, smashing the skulls of the dying Black Flame acolytes one by one.

Witnessing this, the Black Flame acolytes' hearts trembled with fear.

Seeing this, everyone's hearts calmed down.

Action: A group of people are gathered, with a tense atmosphere.

"Oh? No wonder you're so fearless. You've been prepared all along!" Faced with the encirclement of the three, Extor's expression finally became serious.

"And me!"

"It seems that the giant evil spirit is getting closer to Captain Minster's residence." Angus narrowed his eyes and spoke.

"All of you are talented youths of the Dragon Empire, hoping to contribute to the development of the Dragon Empire. Next..."

"Also, if you were to attract the attention of the Empire and the Goddess Church, then after this ceremony, with the blessing of the Great Hunting God, would it be for me?"

Hearing the voices of the crowd, Burgess naturally became aware of the name of the 'unknown' person before him - 'Ren'.

The scene became chaotic.

A dagger pierced a particularly hard object and was instantly deflected, while the Duke of Minster's ceremonial robe suddenly tore, revealing a dark golden knight armor with a unique serpentine pattern.

Two minutes ago.

Because usually, those granted the title of Baron are at most peak knights, and a significant portion are merely senior knights.

The entire structure of Minster is built along the mountainside, extending upwards to the mid-mountain area.

Furthermore, even if a few peak great knights were to appear, their strength would be suppressed to the level of senior great knights. With their strength reduced by a level, how could they possibly compete? "However, among you, there are a few exceptional individuals. It would be a real pity if something were to happen to them." Burgess stroked his chin thoughtfully, his gaze lingering on the group for a moment.

The third person emerged from a small door at the other end of the hall, holding a wooden staff and exuding a strong divine aura.

This was the top-tier Extraordinary Combat Skill, 'Annihilation Hammer'! "Boom!!!"

At this moment, the administrative hall where they were located was at the mid-mountain area, near the highest point of the city - the Griffon Platform.

"Extor, the Black Flame Cult's High Priest! I've been waiting for you. Using the same scheme twice, I'm not sure if it's confidence or stupidity."

"Fluctuation Mirror!"

Burgess seemed to understand the relationship between Ren and the two women, instantly thinking of a more exciting approach, his heart stirring with anticipation.

"It seems the death of High Bishop Gomes has truly agitated the nerves of the Goddess Church."

Numerous silver shadows appeared, their faces contorted in pain, surrounding Ren and being absorbed into the warhammer in his hand.

"Do you think two old men like us are enough?" Extor's expression turned solemn, but he soon smiled and shook his head.

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity to waste so many beautiful and tender noble ladies. There's no time to slowly enjoy them." Burgess surveyed the crowd with a smirk, speaking with a grin. Burgess wasn't worried about what this group could do.

Burgess coughed up blood while sliding down the wall, like a pile of boneless rotten flesh.

"I feel that Ren's warhammer seems even more powerful now."

He was embedded in the marble wall behind the ceremony platform.

It was as if he had just stepped on a crab, only to have a stronger one appear next to him. That was how he felt at this moment.

"I said to bring her and her over. It seems both of them are yours? You're quite the lucky one! Like this, if you're willing to be a bystander, I might spare your life."

"Just now, your advisor and the Punishment Knight from the Goddess Church have already gone to exterminate the evil spirit."

"Don't you know that your son, the knight titled 'Bavarian Spear' Haloween, has secretly gone to the Imperial Capital?"

The area was already set up with a Tier Two Demon Array.

"Burgess, having desires is a good thing. It's what drives people to act."

A silver figure drew a straight line, suddenly appearing before Burgess, holding a black warhammer.

"Boom!!"

The watching crowd couldn't help but look up, curious about who dared to disrupt the ceremony at this critical moment.

This formation had enhancement, suppression, and sacrificial functions.

Ren, standing next to Nelor, whispered, "This is the Goddess Church's Ascetic, usually in seclusion at the Cohen Cathedral, with Quasi-Legendary strength. The Goddess Church is really pulling out all the stops."

Any one of his deputies could clear out this group.

"Cough~~~ Cough~~~"

The Innate Spell 'Shadow Shield' broke!

As Nelor's words ended, a strange pattern began to emerge on the ground.

"Don't even talk about him, a Legendary against this guy, even his two subordinates, Freeman and Burgess, can't compare to him either."

"At that moment, Burgess was seething with anger!"

"Because the air currents generated by his full sprint were comparable to the storm at the muzzle of a cannon, even the peak Knight Evelyn beside him could withstand it, but a commoner like Jennifer could absolutely not."

"Right then, they saw several Griffin Knights fly swiftly from the Griffin Platform towards the location of the evil spirit, while from the administrative hall, two teams of elite guards, a knight carrying a two-handed hammer, and a white-robed mage walked out."

"Is their action going to fail like this?"

"The effects of the evil array are now beginning to show, many people can clearly feel an invisible restraining force appearing around them."

"Actually, if Freeman were here, he would certainly give a reminder, making their High Priestess Ekelst be cautious about that young man called Ren."

"Up, deal with them!"

"Swiftly, the Black Flame Acolytes were killed in a great defeat, while Ren quickly gathered the ten portions of soul energy required for the 'Phantom Strike'."

"Due to the 'Fluctuation Mirror' clearly pulling Admiral Edward and a few others into a mysterious place, Ren was temporarily unable to join the battle on Edward's side."

"Before the words faded, Burgess only felt a flash of flowers in front of him, instantly setting off an alarm in his heart!"

"As for the Viscount, although his strength has risen to a higher level, most of them have just entered the Great Knight stage, and a very few, like Angus, are veteran Great Knights, which can be counted on one hand."

"Damn, how can this guy look even more ruthless than a regular Black Flame Mage!"

"Under this suppression, he actually beat the Black Flame Acolytes, whose strength was enhanced by the evil array, into a retreat!"

"You, and you, and you, the three of you come over obediently, I can spare your lives!" Burgess's eyes flared with fury, pointing at three women.

"But now, with Freeman being distracted, he naturally couldn't give any reminders."

"Right then, a group of black-robed figures suddenly rushed out from all sides of the hall, and a tall black-robed man, emitting a strong aura, walked in."

"Burgess, who was a Viscount, pointed at the three women, instantly felt a bit flustered."

"Bad, we are now in a powerful evil array." Neror looked around the administrative hall, noticing the five large pillars outside, and exclaimed in dismay.

"Your orders, my lord!" Burgess bowed in a show of respect after receiving Ekelst's affirmative reply.

"Inside the evil array, the battle's outcome is uncertain. Just the number of people in the hall, many of whom are ordinary noble family members, could suffer heavy casualties."

"But this guy has his mind set on the upper level."

"Hehe, it seems this move is quite practical, isn't it?"

"Ren followed the gaze of the two people."

"Your courage is truly impressive!"

"Based on your nearly Legendary status, do you think you can possibly stop me?" As the other party's words grew more intense, their aura also grew stronger! At that moment, a loud voice came from the back of the hall, interrupting Ekelst's speech.

"Minster Duke, I didn't quite hear what you said, could you please repeat it?" Ren's face remained calm as he slowly stood up and said.

"Assassin!!" A group of guards drew their long swords and shields, forming a protective circle around the Minster Duke.

"Is this the empire's hidden ace?"

"Not a single living mouth is left?"

"Clang!!"

The Hardened Mithril Warhammer, deformed on impact, broke through dual defenses, and struck heavily on Burgess's crossed forearms! "Boom!!"

"Indeed, I must make a contribution, but not for the Dragoon Empire, but for the great Hunter God!" a deep voice echoed.

He is one of the higher-ups in charge, responsible for the Minster provincial near-half region activities.

"Hehe! This is a holy artifact!"

"May the Goddess bless!"

Then, the two figures, one after the other, walked out, seemingly to deal with the giant evil spirit event Ren had just heard.

"Oh, Minster Duke, it seems you have a lot of confidence. What makes you think you can face me and win?"

The Minster Duke slightly adjusted his attitude, walked to the forefront with a smile, and began his speech: "On the last Sunday of the Blooming Month, I humbly represent the great emperor"

Ekelst completely disregarded them.

The Swordbearers present witnessed the arrival of their division leader, and many of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside her, a young man, one of the newly promoted barons, blushed, perhaps due to his pursuit of her or his relationship with her.

Suddenly, a mocking laughter echoed through the hall, an obvious provocation directed at the Duke of Minster.

Black Flame Shelter, Break!

"Captain, look over there!" Vereri frowned and pointed towards a direction outside the window.

The young man's combat power was slightly above that of a Second-Level Liquid Mage, but with just one strike, he was severely injured by the young man in front of him.

One after another, the sudden changes left the audience overwhelmed.

"Serpent-Wrapped Armor, I didn't expect it to be on you." The bodyguard suddenly tore off a human skin mask, and his entire body's aura changed abruptly.

Many ladies and young ladies' long skirts were lifted and covered their heads, revealing pairs of dazzlingly plump legs.

The young man had barely utilized half of his strength when he was heavily injured.

The voice, like a surround sound, made it impossible to pinpoint its origin.

After all, the young man's Black Flame Wall had just burned a young knight to a crisp, yet it didn't seem to intimidate him, which Burgess found interesting.

With a 'slap' sound, a transparent human-shaped shadow appeared from Burgess's shattered body, showing signs of pain.

However, the previous scene made his expression turn sour.

As for the young people present?

"Burgess, activate it!"

Damn! This guy wasn't lying! I always thought he was making excuses for his mission failure, but there really is such a monster. Ren approached Burgess, who was in a state of panic, and lightly struck him with a hammer.

Burgess was hit like a beast, his arms bending unnaturally, and his whole body was blown away like a cannonball for several meters.

"That's right!" The Duke of Minter smiled slightly at the appearance of the other party, and he continued,

But at this moment, he immediately protected his chest with his hands, bent his legs slightly, assuming a defensive posture, and a black shield appeared on his body, seemingly an innate spell protecting him.

Enhancement, which enhances the strength of one's allies, and in this demon array, the quasi-legendary power will be enhanced to near-legendary limits, almost legendary! Suppression, on the other hand, suppresses the enemy's strength.

"Black Flame Wall, a Tier Two Demon Array, be careful, the opponent is at least a Tier Two Demon Array Master." Neror whispered.

The Black Flame Cult, Ascetic, and Holy Artifact made their consecutive appearances.

"Huh, you're not bad! You're actually a Great Knight, that's rare. Good, you're qualified." Burgess looked at Ren with a hint of surprise.

In fact, if it weren't necessary, Ren didn't plan to join the fight.

At the same time, black flame vines wrapped around his body.

This left the audience a bit at a loss for a moment.

Ren frowned slightly, deciding to observe for now, as he was unsure if the Empire had any more tricks up their sleeve.

Extor also smiled and said,

He immediately stood up, seemingly ready to launch an attack.

"It's good that Admiral Edward and the Duke of Minter were prepared."

The Swordbearers who came to attend the award ceremony were thrilled to see Ren's might, as if they had found their pillar of support, and they immediately became excited.

"It seems we can start now." Extor nodded as he watched this scene.

At this moment, only the mirror remained, floating in mid-air, its surface becoming hazy like mist, seemingly not of this world.

Ren could clearly see a large, semi-transparent boy shadow pulling a female doll, wreaking havoc on houses like toy blocks, step by step, from the Trade District towards the Administrative District!

This was normal.

"Holy shit!"

"Sir, the Empire's people are so foolish, falling for such simple trick twice!"

In the air, several Griffin Knights hovered, constantly interfering and throwing short spears to attack, but against this enemy, their efforts were in vain.

Seeing this, Ren turned his head and said, "Neror, cast Feather Fall on me!"
