Chapter 386: The Attack: Part 3
The pure white chain swung with great force and thundered down on a black-masked man.
*Bam!!!*
The black-masked man could not resist the force at all. He was hurled out and smashed into a bronze statue in the street.
The statue collapsed. Black masked man’s body was like experiencing a power outage, the light of dark energy flickering on and off. He tumbled to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He tried to prop himself up, but he couldn’t.
“Tell me, what organization do you belong to? What is your ident.i.ty?” Lin Sheng stood at the gate of the suburban park, quietly watching the man on the ground.
He chased them down here, managed to stop one of them, and recovered what was stolen. It’s just that one of them seemed to be aware that these things were the reason they’re being tracked, so they dropped everything and managed to escape.
Lin Sheng took the notebook and squeezed it gently. The notebook crumbled and burned to ashes. He stared calmly at the man on the ground, waiting for his answer.
“If we dare come here, we surely not fear of death. Your threats mean nothing.” The man laughed in a low voice. “Kill us, kill us, and this Holy Sanctum will be destroyed… If we die here, the three secret realms and the government of Miga will not spare you!”
“Will not spare us?” Lin Sheng sneered. He looked around. Many of the holy warriors around were obviously disturbed by this.
It’s not unusual for people to feel uneasy when they heard that their organization was about to confront so many powerful forces, but Lin Sheng did not care.
Even nuclear bombs could not work against the strong ones at the level of Palatinates. Because the vast majority of Palatinates had a premonition of great danger, and they had a powerful ranged attack, they could have detonated the bomb before it went off. And as long as it’s not the explosive power of the core area, most Palatinates could handle it easily.
By this point, a Palatinate was actually a higher life than ordinary life.
“Since you can’t say anything, you’re of little value.” Lin Sheng was going forward to kill the man.
Suddenly a great threat, of the most subtle kind, rushed out of his mind.
The blood coursed wildly through his body and his skin contracted rapidly. Pale yellow dragon scales began to emerge. His body also began to change slightly. His muscles swelled and he was taller than ever. Two spiraling black dragon horns began to grow on his head. The pupils rapidly turned to pure gold. A layer of illusory translucent armor in yellow halo covered the Armor of Dawn, protecting his entire body more tightly.
From a distance, he looked like a humanoid mecha in heavy armor.
*Bam!*
At that moment, a ray of light came roaring from the distance with unimaginable speed. The light traveled more than ten times the speed of sound. In the blink of an eye, it crossed a distance of thousands of meters and landed right in the middle of Lin Sheng’s chest.
Dark energy weapon!! And that’s a very powerful individual weapon!!
Having used such weapons, Lin Sheng instantly identified the source of the threat. It took less than 0.3 seconds from the time he noticed something was wrong until the attack reached his body. It all happened almost instantaneously.
*Crack!*
Soon, the first layer of yellow armor was broken.
The ray of light shot through the first layer of yellow armor. The surface of Armor of Dawn glowed with white light, converging madly on one point in an attempt to counter this great penetration. But it didn’t help.
The ray of light, bit by bit, pierced through the extremely thick sacred force layer and finally landed on the dragon scale on Lin Sheng’s body.
A great power burst forth from the light. Instead of relying solely on the initial burst speed, it kept generating momentum, accelerating over and over again.
Lin Sheng’s yellow dragon scales collided with the light and fine scales kept splashing out of it. But fortunately, the successive obstacles in front of him gave him a little reaction time. In a split second, he grabbed the light and pulled it out.
*Bam!!!*
The light was pinched and turned into a small piece of metal dust the size of a hand, dissipating into the air.
The entire process took less than a second.
The men of the Holy Sanctum around didn’t react until later. They all rushed off in search of the suspect. Then some of them rushed in the direction of the light, trying to catch the a.s.sa.s.sin. Had it not been for the fact that Lin Sheng had pulled out that light and pinched it, they would have thought Lin Sheng was dead.
“It’s so powerful…” Lin Sheng looked down at his chest. Though protected by two layers of armor, there was still a clear wound hole in his dragon’s scales, several centimeters deep.
“It’s a lot more powerful than the long-range heavy strike I used last time… Such weapons, even the Sevenlocks Tower does not have this level of technology. The only ones with this kind of technology are the three secret realms.”
Lin Sheng’s heart went cold. It was clear that the three secret realms were really about to attack the Holy Sanctum.
“Fortunately, because of the disguise, they didn’t pay much attention to me. Otherwise, if they knew that I was the core of everything, it would be the Palatinates who came to a.s.sa.s.sinate me. In that case, don’t blame me for flipping the table!”
Lin Sheng’s heart was filled with anger. On one hand, he was shocked by the shot, and on the other hand, he was disappointed with Carte Blanche.
It was impossible to carry out such a powerful a.s.sa.s.sination on him without the acquiescence of Carte Blanche. So in any case, the Carte Blanche was on the opposite side of the Holy Sanctum.
Lin Sheng then glanced at the dying man.
“Keep him. He’s a heretic! He’ll be used as fuelwood for burning the holy flame.” He was building the Darkspirit Gate and needed a lot of offerings.
Two men came forward in silence, dragging the dying man and tying him up, and carried him down.
Lin Sheng did not pay attention to Tenko Kasumi. It was not a long distance, and he could find out what was going there only by simply turning his attention to it in his mind.
He gave a few quick commands and went straight to the division of the Holy Sanctum.
Now that they had come to this point, it’s time to activate it.
Two minutes later…
Lin Sheng stepped into the little temple in the Holy Sanctum and quickly came to the prayer hall.
In the magnificent pure white hall.
The people stood on the thick carpet, watching Lin sheng going up the prayer stage step by step, and standing on the prayer stage.
Having offended so many powerful forces, the future of the Holy Sanctum teetered, and no one knew where it would lead. Some of them there had probably lost their faith.
However, that was alright. As long as one’s mind was impure, he would soon lose all the sacred power due to the collapse of faith, and would also lose part of the dark power coming from the sacred power. Everything would be brought back to its original shape, or even worse.
Lin Sheng stretched out his hand, and a little sacred power flowing through the tips of his fingers.
In his rapid writing and sketching, the sacred power soon turned into a series of invisible symbols and sank silently beneath his feet. At the same time, bit by bit the sacred power from Lin Sheng’s body poured into the ground along his feet.
The Nexus Disc of the sacred power font buried in the ground slowly began to light up with mysterious runes.
With a crisp sound, the pure white holy flame suddenly ignited on the disc.
Lin Sheng closed his eyes and a large white oval sphere appeared in front of him.
A line of numbers popped up at the edge of the oval sphere.
“Five.”
“Four.”
“Three.”
“Two.”
“One.”
The whole sphere burst into a brilliant white flame. And at the same time, a familiar electronic voice rang out.
“Connecting to the sacred power certification…
“The ritual is confirmed.
“Welcome to the Central Sanctum System.”
