Chapter 542 A Mistake
“What?”
Eustace was taken aback by the revelation that the Archbishop possessed an Arcana!
Despite Constance’s assertion that it was damaged, Eustace couldn’t help but be intrigued by it. He harbored a desire to examine whether his System could extract it.
‘I’d probably get something awesome, right? Perhaps something other than Divinity?’ Eustace mused.
Similarly, upon Constance’s identification of the Arcana, the Archbishop was visibly alarmed.
Apart from the Pontiff and a select few high-ranking officials of the Church, no one should have been aware of his possession of an Arcana, particularly a Damaged Arcana.
“You!” The Archbishop exclaimed, swiftly regaining his composure.
He promptly erected a barrier within the room, fearing that the conversation and the commotion might attract unwanted attention. The revelation of his possession of such a valuable object could lead to chaos among various organizations. His status would be of little use against individuals driven to frenzy.
They would certainly do their best to obtain this item from him! It means that moving outside alone would no longer be possible.
Whom~
After casting the barrier, he resolved to launch an attack on the two, as no one should be privy to this secret.
Leveraging his status as an Archbishop, he intended to claim that these individuals had been possessed by devils. It should be quite easy for him to do that, especially with what had happened recently. He could just say that the Evil Spirit had transferred to them!
With this in mind, he wasted no time initiating his Spell Fusion. He was ready to eliminate them.
However, he was still too slow! He made a mistake in using a Spell Fusion that takes some time to activate!
“Hey! That’s dangerous! Stop that.” Eustace’s voice suddenly interjected as the Archbishop prepared to channel his energy through his Staff to empower his Spell.
Casting Spell Fusion without the Staff would make it longer and weaker after all. π¦.π€π°π
‘What?’ The Archbishop frowned as he felt something wrong.
It was then that he realized he was no longer holding his Staff!
Furthermore, his blindfold had been removed and was now in the possession of the young man.
“When did you—”
He was momentarily unable to move as he tried recalling what had happened. His Magic Zone was obviously working, and his belt’s Holy Force Field should be active!
It means that he should know whether a spell had hit him or not! Lastly, his heightened sense of surroundings as a blind person should be unmatched! He shouldn’t have missed Eustace’s ability to steal!
“How did you do that?” The Archbishop asked coldly. He wasn’t panicking, but he was certainly not in a good mood as his Holy Aura started thickening and slowly suppressing the two.
“Oh? I’m not expecting that as well. I didn’t know taking items from an Archbishop was easy. You didn’t guard against that? They’re not even Soulbound…” Eustace remarked while inspecting the items. He was indeed astonished at the effectiveness of his Traceless Shift against the elderly man.
This time, it was Constance’s turn to be surprised. She was always on her guard the moment the Archbishop had torn a space within their room that was supposedly protected by her Formation Art.
Although the Formation Art was hastily made by her, she was surprised by how it was not broken when the Archbishop used his Arcana to arrive here.
It only shows how this old man had incredible control over the Arcana despite being broken. There was no way she would underestimate him with her current weakened state.
She then shifted her gaze to the items Eustace was holding.
‘This guy is really too mysterious. I don’t think that by just having a Celestial Physique, you can already obtain such a cheat-like spell. What was even that Spell? It’s definitely not a normal one.’
Constance mused as she recalled some unique Spells with similar abilities, like Swipe of the Wind, Borrow’s Grace, Plunder’s Touch, and Uncalled Snatch. However, none of them seemed to be capable of going unnoticed by the old man’s defenses.
“Then it must be a Spirit Art I’m unaware of.” She muttered while looking at Eustace curiously.
Then, at this time, the Archbishop made his move! He was no longer holding back!
“Holy Smite!”
The Archbishop shouted in fury as he began to invoke two more Holy Arts! They were Sacred Spear and Sacred Fire.
Three Holy Spells at once!
Boom!
A brilliant beam of sacred light erupted from his fingertips, forming intricate patterns in the air before converging on Eustace.
The Sacred Spear also manifested above Eustace and was waiting for its descent. As for the Sacred Fire, it headed towards Constance to ensure she would not be able to save her partner!
Eustace, realizing the force behind these spells, swiftly opened his Grimoire, calling upon the power within to summon his Savage Murlocs.
The two Murlocks would probably die, but they were certainly a decent meat shield.
Then, the room was suddenly filled with frenzied screeches and splashes as the Savage Murlocs surged forth, their primal ferocity unleashed.
Eeek!
Their life was short, but these creatures were merely a ploy to buy time.
As the Archbishop’s Spells hit the tough meat shields he summoned, Constance also blocked the Sacred Fire aimed at her.
Then, she simply continued observing from the sidelines, patiently awaiting an opportune moment.
Eustace seized the opening as he activated his Shadow Mutilation Spell, casting an invisible mark on the Archbishop.
The latter knew he was hit by something, but he couldn’t guess what it was as he didn’t feel any threat or pain from the Spell.
However, he knew that unknown spells were dangerous.
Crash~
Without any hesitation, he flew outside the room by crashing through the window⦠He needed more space as there might be a need to escape or recuperate.
Because the Archbishop came out of the barrier he arranged, their battle was soon discovered by the people on the streets.
Several screams from the crowd were heard as they thought that an old man was thrown from the third floor of the building.
However, the three had ignored the people below them. Then, Eustace looked at the Archbishop from his room.
“You made it easier for me…” He muttered with a mysterious smile.
