Chapter 702: The Believer
Chapter 702: The Believer
Lindsey and Alice burst into the battlefield, a surprise to both sides who were already engaged in combat. Especially with the appearance of a Sixth Stage Awakened, a Righteous One with an incredibly powerful will, the entire battlefield trembled.
Alice immediately charged into the crowd, her combat skills vastly different from when she led her troops. Her formidable will didn't leak out; instead, it condensed around her, forming her own domain.
All miracles were now hers to command.
Alice didn't have the golden glow of the Law or any grand, sound-filled displays. She simply moved through the battlefield.
With each horizontal slash, enemies were inexplicably knocked to the ground by an unimaginable force, then losing consciousness under the pressure of her will.
The original attackers and defenders, including the most powerful Awakened among them, were only at the Fifth Stage.
Alice's direct approach was like a warhammer striking the ground, creating a dent in the earth. Beneath the walls, chaos quickly ensued.
Lindsey followed closely behind, not seeking to steal the spotlight. He held an iron rod, smashing down on the besiegers that Alice had missed.
"Heretic! Madman!"
Most people, upon seeing a Sixth Stage Righteous One, would lose their fighting spirit and even actively avoid confrontation.
As such, these people naturally shifted their focus from Alice to Lindsey, who appeared ordinary.
Mere seconds after joining the battle, Lindsey saw a flash of black light swiftly approaching, aiming a fierce stab at his face, with more of the same following closely behind.
Clang!
Lindsey swung the iron rod in his hand forward. His equipped weapon, the Extinction Blade, was chosen for its indestructible quality.
Snap!
The black light was a straight blade of peculiar material. When the two weapons collided, the latter shattered instantly, dissipating into the air and transforming into pure Essence.
However, Lindsey wasn't concerned about this weapon. He was examining the information provided by his Detection Skill.
[Faith Blade - After advancing, believers can manifest miracles through their inner will. These weapons often bear unique personal traits due to the differences in their users.]
"The power of believers..."
"Their personalities are indeed controlled, but it's also because of their faith that they've truly attained the power of Awakened?"
Thud!
As he mused, Lindsey swung the rod horizontally, shattering the surrounding faith weapons. He then lifted his leg and kicked the charging enemy in the chest.
Lindsey's movements were lightning-fast. His opponent had no chance to dodge, let alone react.
Lindsey held back his strength for this strike, but the Awakened who had just tried to attack him flew backward, unconscious and unable to resist.
Clack, clack—
As Lindsey lifted his left leg, he felt his right foot, still on the ground, become immovable. This wasn't due to any mercy he felt. Instead, the surrounding air inexplicably solidified, forming steel-like shackles that locked his ankle firmly to the ground.
"He's been controlled by the Vicar!"
"Take him down!"
The surrounding believers, driven to frenzy, closed in instantly. They continued to summon their black faith weapons, almost simultaneously attacking Lindsey.
"..."
Lindsey's gaze swept across the scene, making an instant assessment.
The attacks from these fanatical believers were all aimed at the most lethal parts of the human body—the head, heart, and chest.
"Hmph!"
"In that case, I won't hold back either."
Boom! The next second, the believers surrounding Lindsey didn't even have time to scream before their bodies were lifted into the air, flying away in different directions.
Lindsey simply swung his iron rod in a circle. From above, the trajectory of the fanatic's fall resembled a blooming African daisy.
Looking down from the sky, the fanatic's trajectory as he tumbled was like a blooming African daisy.
Lindsey's attributes were now far beyond that of a normal person.
Even without activating his Focused State, he merely swept the iron rod horizontally, and these third and fourth-tier Awakened ones found it hard to resist, flying backward and following in their companions' footsteps.
At this moment, Lindsey's gaze fixed on the left front.
There was a fifth-tier Awakened one there.
The opponent stared intently at Lindsey's ankle, and the skill of solidified air was likely their doing.
A cracking sound followed by a thud!
Lindsey stomped his left foot downward.
With hundreds of points of strength, he instantly shattered the solidified air, leaving a footprint with cracks on the ground.
"..."
"Hiss—"
The fanatic across from him gasped in shock.
The fanatic activated his skill, and the air between them instantly solidified into a wall of sturdy air barriers.
But it was all in vain.
Lindsey simply swung his iron rod, not even using any skills, and these walls, strong enough to withstand a car's impact, were shattered by him.
This was a fifth-stage Follower.
But he could barely hold Lindsey back for even a second! With steady and terrifying steps, Lindsey approached the opponent.
"You... Ahh!!!"
The fanatic's eyes turned red, and his body trembled.
His inner obsession urged him to launch an attack, but his body's instincts trembled in fear.
The next second, Lindsey extended his palm at a speed the opponent couldn't react to.
The fanatic was directly grabbed by the throat, his legs helplessly giving way as his upper body struggled.
At this moment, Lindsey looked around again.
After their surprise attack, the hundreds of besiegers were now in disarray.
"..."
Lindsey raised an eyebrow and glanced at his task bar.
The Sky Island Battle was indeed marked as completed.
He stood in place, holding the fifth-stage Awakened captive in one hand and checking the rewards with the other.
[Equipment/Material: Living Wing Parachute]
[A foldable parachute that can be freely folded. When the wearer falls from a high place, opening it at a sufficient height will prevent fall damage. Due to the living wing design, the wearer can control their descent direction more freely in the air. Can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A specially designed parachute, of lower value.]
Lindsey naturally flipped through an old synthesis formula.
[1 Emergency Breather + 1 Isolation Suit + 1 Long-Life Lantern + 1 Flippers + 1 Faraday Cage + 2 Drills + 1 Parachute + 3 Adrenaline + 1 Toilet = Multi-Utility Survival Gear]
Most of these messy items could be crafted with iron ingots.
He only lacked the isolation suit and the parachute.
Lindsey raised an eyebrow, "Now that I have the parachute, I remember I can make the isolation suit with High-Pressure Seastone."
Lindsey pondered his synthesis list.
"Ahh!"
But before he could start synthesizing, the captive in his hand struggled violently.
- An aura of fear.
This man stared intently at the direction of the city wall, as if he would die on the spot if he didn't break free from Lindsey's grasp.
"Hmm?"
Lindsey turned his head.
On the city wall, he saw a guard filled with hostility.
The guard had already drawn his bow, aiming an arrow at Lindsey and the captive in his hand.
"..."
"Even though it's clear we're here to support them, they still treat us with hostility."
Seeing the situation on the city wall, Lindsey sighed, which was also within his expectations.
He called out to the Righteous Lioness beside him, "Alice!"
"We've captured the enemy, let's retreat!"
