Chapter 420: Meteorite Rain
A sapphire ring shimmering with a faint light was worn on Trissy's hand, which was as delicate as white jade, the two reflecting each other's brilliance.
A strange power erupted from that ring; Klein felt as if he were suddenly standing in the coldest of storms, with endless chill pouring into his body.
The intensity of this power was perhaps not great, and if Klein were to use all his means to deal with it, he could have resisted, but the essence of this power was absurdly high, giving Klein the urge to kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness.
This was a blessing from the "Primordial Witch," and for Klein, this kind of blessing was a natural disaster.
Therefore, after seeing the shimmering light of that sapphire ring, Klein naturally lost his nerve; he lowered his head directly and took a step closer to the "God's Singer."
His spirituality clearly told him that the strength of this power was entirely capable of killing a Qunas Colger.
Moreover, this power involving a True God should be something for the "God's Singer," this Saint, to resolve.
Do not confuse the "God's Singer" with the "Sword of the Goddess" of the Evernight Church; the name "Sword of the Goddess" comes largely from the Sealed Artifact they wield.
But the "God's Singer" truly represents the favor of the "Lord of Storms."
"Lightning!" As the power of that sapphire ring began to erode the world, the expression of the "God's Singer" suddenly turned heavy and serious.
The "Lightning" chanted in Ancient Hermes really sounded like the ballad of an "Ocean Singer"... "frightening."
In short, this was Klein's first impression; that rhythmic, powerful force erupted from the "God's Singer," condensing into bolts of lightning the size of water barrels.
The appearance of these lightning bolts took only a second to reduce the banquet venue to ashes, and this luxurious villa became ruins.
"Heh..." Trissy looked at the increasingly terrifying lightning gathering and laughed softly.
Afterward, she extended the finger wearing the sapphire ring to point at the sky, her body gradually undergoing Virtualization, merging into the Spirit World.
The "God's Singer" did not even pursue Trissy, but instead looked up at the sky, his expression extremely ugly.
"Witch Sect!" the "God's Singer" gritted his teeth, but as the Archbishop of Backlund, he had more important things to do.
He flew up directly, carrying that already gathered ball of lightning, and headed toward the sky.
"Meteorite Rain..." Klein also looked somewhat dumbfounded at the gradually clearing trails in the sky.
Several meteorites burning with raging flames descended from the sky, tearing through the firmament, with their landing point being the Backlund Queen District!
That terrifying flame caused the sky itself to burn, crashing down at an unstoppable speed.
"Truly insane..." Klein's mouth twitched; he had not expected Trissy to escape in such a manner.
There was no need to doubt the disaster that would be caused if they landed on the ground, and as the Archbishop of Backlund, the duty of the "God's Singer" was to protect Backlund, which directly threw the choice to the "God's Singer."
And then, everything followed its natural course.
Trissy escaped easily, while the "God's Singer" had to deal with that batch of meteorites.
"Natural disaster... is this the promotion direction after the 'Witch' Pathway? From 'Assassin,' to disease, ice, and then meteorites... very dangerous!"
Klein thought for a moment and leaped up directly, "Utilizing" and "Amplifying" the Rule to keep himself rising; he wanted to go and see how the "God's Singer" handled the meteorites.
He arrived at a height of several hundred meters and looked up in the direction of the meteorites.
The meteorites left several indelible trails against the backdrop of the sky, their momentum terrifying.
But the "God's Singer" did not fear this Meteorite Rain in the slightest, meeting the difficulty head-on with great stubbornness.
This was likely the way the "Storm Pathway" resolved meteorites.
The terrifying lightning had already fully formed into a storm, turning into a ball lightning with a diameter of a hundred meters, and collided fiercely with the Meteorite Rain descending from the sky!
Boom—!
Terrifying thunder resounded throughout all of Backlund; many ordinary people shrank their heads in fear, wondering why there would be thunder when the weather was so nice today.
"Impressive," Klein remarked as he watched the ball lightning collide with the meteorites.
If it were him dealing with it, the "Sea God Scepter" would certainly not be enough, yet now the "God's Singer" had used his own power to shoulder this wave of meteorites.
"Trissy is actually able to summon meteorites; this is truly a natural disaster. There is no problem with that ring being rated as a Zero-level Sealed Artifact." Klein landed in the ruins; there was no longer a need to worry about the Meteorite Rain.
And after waiting for less than a minute, the "God's Singer" descended from the sky and arrived before him.
"Apologies, I..." Klein spoke first.
"This is not your fault." The expression of the "God's Singer" was much paler than before; outputting such terrifying lightning in an extremely short time had left even him unable to bear it.
As for Klein's previous behavior of leaving Trissy, not a single fault could be picked out.
"What does the Witch Sect want to do?!" The "God's Singer" looked at the ruins the villa had turned into with an ugly expression.
"Duke Negan has been killed," Klein said.
The "God's Singer" did not speak, only staring at a charred corpse in the ruins; the dissipation of the lightning power had just destroyed the villa, and while the living nobles and servants were fine, this deceased Duke Negan had been affected by the lightning and turned into a charred corpse.
Points of light condensed from the charred corpse; that was the Characteristic of a "Judge."
The expression of the "God's Singer" darkened by another two shades.
"Archbishop!" The Punishers of the Storm Church and the former bodyguards of Duke Negan all rushed over.
"Collect Pallas's remains, then thoroughly investigate everyone at this gathering!" The voice of the "God's Singer" held no emotion.
"Also, send a telegram to the Cathedral; issue a warrant for the Witch Sect in all Storm churches!"
After finishing his instructions, the "God's Singer" flew directly back to the Saint Wind Cathedral; this time, intercepting the meteorites had caused his Spirituality to be consumed rapidly, and he needed to return to pray to the "Lord of Storms" to stabilize his state.
"My MI9 will assist you," Klein said to those Punishers.
This time, Klein had confronted Trissy, and although he had failed to protect Duke Negan, he could be considered to have done his duty; did they not see that even the Archbishop of the Storm Church had been unable to resolve that Witch?
"Terrifying, I still have to face Trissy..." Klein worried for himself.
He returned to MI9 and dispatched many personnel to assist the Punishers; he also wanted to obtain some intelligence on the Witch Sect from the Storm Church.
Afterward, Klein locked himself in his office, cut off from the outside, and took out that Magic Mirror.
He did not even wait long before black ripples appeared on the surface of the Magic Mirror.
