Chapter 505: The Bone King Was Also Cultivated?

Shengzai previously claimed to be a kingdom adventurer, and this man with a stern face was the kingdom’s strongest warrior captain.

Thus, the Bone King naturally assumed Gajef was a warrior stronger than Shengzai.

The appraisal spell revealed level 33…

How to put it? At first, the old bone was somewhat surprised by this result, but once he processed it, he found nothing strange about it.

Shengzai is a kingdom adventurer and still has items and abilities to conceal his level and strength; so wouldn’t it be perfectly normal for the kingdom’s strongest warrior captain to possess such items and abilities too?

No, in the old bone’s current view, the kingdom’s strongest warrior captain is likely even more inscrutable.

Although Shengzai concealed his level and abilities, they could still faintly sense a dangerous aura emanating from him.

But on this strongest warrior captain, they felt no such danger—instead, he seemed utterly ordinary, like a common man.

This suggests the kingdom’s strongest warrior captain is concealing his power even deeper than Shumaro the King!

Hmm, the Bone King felt his analysis was flawless.

The “Sunlight Scripture,” as an elite unit of the Sellen Theocracy, had members whose levels were almost all above fifteen; by the standards of this world, they were indeed an elite force.

Gajef’s knight order was likewise the kingdom’s elite knight unit, with an average level roughly matching that.

But the Sunlight Scripture members were mostly spellcasters, and after surrounding Shengzai and the others, they commanded their subordinates to summon numerous “Flame Archangels.”

Upon seeing the Flame Archangels, the old bone watching from afar immediately showed surprise.

Because “Flame Archangel” was a second-tier summoning spell in YGGDRASIL—if he remembered correctly, the summoned angels were around level 11 to 15.

In other words, the magic in this world is actually part of the same system as YGGDRASIL?

And another thing he found deeply puzzling: if the Sellen Theocracy intended to ambush and kill the kingdom’s strongest warrior captain, what use were these low-tier trash angels?

Shumaro the King was a figure who made even him feel danger, meaning the king’s true level was likely already at a hundred.

And if the kingdom’s warrior captain was even stronger, then he too must be at that level—so what good were dozens of fifteen-level trash angels? They couldn’t even scratch the warrior captain!

But soon, when he saw the Flame Archangels fighting against Gajef’s knight soldiers, the Bone King suddenly looked enlightened: “Ah, so the purpose of summoning these trash was to counter trash?”

“Fourfold Sunlight Slash!”

Watching Gajef effortlessly eliminate four Flame Archangels with his martial art, the Bone King felt a peculiar sensation.

He then turned to Yarbed beside him and asked: “Yarbed, what do you think?”

“Trash! Slightly stronger than ordinary ants, but a little too much force and you might crush them by accident.”

Hearing Yarbed’s assessment, the old bone couldn’t help but cough awkwardly.

Though Yarbed’s words were sharp, to be honest, the Bone King felt the same inside.

Could it be that the kingdom’s strongest warrior captain hadn’t concealed his strength at all—that his true level was simply this mediocre?

But if that were true, then what about Shumaro the King?

He casually crushed a Flame Archangel flying toward him, his gaze toward Shengzai filled with clear confusion.

The Sellen Theocracy needed to keep the assassination of Gajef secret, so the Sunlight Scripture had no intention of letting any of the villagers of Karn or these extra adventurers survive.

But soon, the Sunlight Scripture’s leader, Nigen, realized something was wrong.

Gajef, the kingdom’s strongest warrior captain, was understandable—he was a human who crossed into the hero realm, and the Six-Colored Scripture’s bishops wanted him dead because his power might threaten the Sellen Theocracy in the future.

But what about these other adventurers here? Why did their displayed strength, in Nigen’s eyes, now seem even greater than Gajef’s?

Flame Archangels were only second-tier summonings, yet they possessed strength comparable to “Silver-tier” adventurers—yet now they were being slaughtered like melons and vegetables by these adventurers?

“Damn it, I didn’t expect besides Gajef, there’d be these other troublesome ones.”

“Everyone, use magic! Focus fire first on the knight with the sword!”

What was originally a guaranteed win with dragons overhead had now dragged on due to these interlopers.

So Nigen quickly grew impatient and ordered the Sunlight Scripture to focus fire first on Shengzai, who had slain the most Flame Archangels.

Watching a flood of first- and second-tier YGGDRASIL magic converge on Shengzai, Gajef showed concern, while the Bone King wore an expression of pure amusement.

Though these Sunlight Scripture humans were weak, if they could finally witness Shengzai’s true power, that would be perfect.

“Holy Ray,” “Poison,” “Shockwave,” “Fire Rain,” “Fear,” “Green Jade Coffin,” “Laceration,” “Binding,” “Charm Human!”

A torrent of first- and second-tier magic surged toward Shengzai as one.

Yet just as these spells were about to strike Shengzai’s body, a green barrier suddenly flared around him.

These spells, all below third-tier, slammed into the green barrier—and not even a ripple formed.

“This is impossible! You’re a warrior—how can you block so many spells at once?!”

Seeing Shengzai standing motionless, untouched by the barrage of magic, both Gajef and the kingdom’s side and Nigen and the Sunlight Scripture were stunned.

Only the Bone King and Yarbed showed no surprise at all.

After all, if Shengzai—who made even them feel danger—could be killed by such low-tier magic, then they’d be the ones who should be shocked.

It seems the Pokémon world’s moves work here too. Now I’m curious what powers from other worlds would look like in this one.

Correct—Shengzai’s ability to block the Sunlight Scripture’s magic was the Pokémon world’s “Mystical Guard.”

As Shengzai extended one finger, a massive pillar of fire erupted from his fingertip the next second!
