Chapter 231: 231
The fight started instantly .
Neither Safelia nor I hesitated . Both of us knew that there was not a peaceful way out of it .
And even if there was, we were not going to accept it .
A magic circle appeared behind Safelia . The magic circle carried a holy feeling and arcs of lightning circled it .
"Don't worry, prince . I won't kill you! I'm not so reckless as to kill a prince! However, I think nobody will mind if I left you half-dead, right?"
Before she finished speaking, her spell was cast .
Seventh-Layer Divine Spell, [Spears of Order and Punishment]!
Seven holy spears surrounded by lightning sparks left the magic circle . The spears flew towards me at lightning speed!
Despite Safelia just saying that she was not going to kill me, the spell she used was a lethal one! It was more than enough to kill any fifth-layer practitioner!
But well, I'm not a normal fifth-layer practitioner .
Without even looking at the spears, I moved . My body bypassed the spears and appeared right in front of Safelia!
At some point, a sword had appeared on my hand . The sword shone with sharp killing intent that slashed towards the saintess .
Safelia furrowed her brows . With a wave of her hand, the spears turned around to attack me . At the same time, a barrier appeared around her to defend her from my slash .
*BOOM!!!*
The sword and the barrier clashed . A powerful shockwave hit the room, destroying everything inside from the chairs to the tables .
Fortunately, I had put a barrier with defensive and soundproof properties around the room beforehand . Otherwise, just this clash would have blown half of the building .
The first clash was just the start of our fight . As soon as her barrier stopped my sword, I took a step back and evaded a spear of light . Then, I zigzagged around the room, evading the other spears .
Each spear pierced the ground, missing me completely . I looked at Safelia coldly and disappeared from my position, appearing behind her .
*Clang!*
Once more, my sword clashed with her barrier .
This time, though–
*Crack!*
The barrier cracked .
"!!!"
Safelia paled . She hurriedly cast another barrier, barely stopping my sword . Then, a teleportation spell appeared below her feet and moved her to the other side of the room .
When she reappeared, she looked at me with a grave expression .
"You… You are not a fifth-layer practitioner!"
I shrugged . "Shocked? Why do you think I dared to confront you, saintess?"
Safelia's expression darkened . "I see . To think you have been hiding your strength all this time . Heh, with this level of strength, it's not strange you are so proud and stubborn . However, you underestimate the power of a saintess!"
As soon as her words finished, an enormous power descended in her body!
That power was incredibly strong and carried a pressure that forced people to bow towards it . Yes, it was the power of a god!
"Do you think I'm a normal tenth-layer practitioner? Haha, Prince Claus, I'm a divine arts use, a saintess! Even if you were a twelfth-layer practitioner, I would not fear you!"
Divine arts practitioners were a bit different than mages and warriors . In a certain way, they could be considered stronger .
It's because using divine arts did not exclude using magic or martial arts . Quite the opposite, it enhances them . A mage can use divine arts to enhance the power of his magic and a martial artist can use divine power to strengthen his attacks .
The problem is that to use divine arts, you must have faith .
In other words, you must get the recognition of a god and receive feedback in the way of divine arts .
But earning the recognition of a god is not an easy thing . Unless you are a devout believer that dedicates a good amount of its time to pray or convert new believers, you can't get it .
Thus, the only ones able to use divine arts are people of the church . Well, there are some exceptions, but they are few and far between .
As for Safelia, she is not a normal divine arts practitioners .
She is the church's saintess .
And being a saintess has a few perks .
One of them being the fact that she can use divine power to forcibly enhance her cultivation, just like now .
Safelia's strength climbed crazily . In less than one second, her aura was almost as strong as Headmistress Evelyn's .
Blinding white light and lightning snakes crazed around of her . It was a manifestation of the two laws the Goddess of Order had earned the recognition of, order, and lightning .
Moreover, as the main god of the empire and humanity, the amount of faith the Goddess of Order could use was frightening . It meant that the power of her lightning and order laws was incredibly powerful, and the support she could draw from the world was enormous .
But when the Goddess's laws were about to drown me, I snorted coldly .
"Stop . "
It was as though my words were the law . Almost instantly, the power of lightning and order in the room froze!
Safelia was stunned . She hurriedly tried to regain control of the power, but I waved my sword .
A powerful sword intent erupted from my sword . The sword intent quickly covered the entire room, attacking the lightning and order laws and destroying them completely!
