Chapter 522: Is This Dead Skull Messing With People?

From the body of the god-crafting warlock Radiad, Anthony had already noticed that these fellows of the Warlock Alliance all had a somewhat arrogant mindset to varying degrees; upon careful analysis, he found that these fellows had simply had things go too smoothly for them.

They had been driven off the ground by the Lich King using the numerical superiority of his undead, but they didn't feel they had lost — they just felt that you had more people.

Living atop the Starburst Array, they were already standing in an invincible position, with no sense of crisis, and combined with the Starburst Array's invincibility, it gave them a feeling of being omnipotent.

So apart from the Lich King, they feared no one, and ultimately developed this overconfident, arrogant mindset; even knowing it was the God of Life, Radiad still dared to swagger right up close.

In fact, even if Feti hadn't acted at the time, Radiad still couldn't have done anything to the God of Life — not to mention that its main body was now on Seeing Ange's shoulder; even a branch of the Life God Pool, Radiad couldn't destroy.

But now, Hayden clearly knew they were a Pope and an Archangel from the Shenjiede Sect, yet still maintained this attitude; besides arrogance, there was a more important reason — the Light Church of this world was too pathetic.

They didn't even have a god, only two archbishops left — archbishops who couldn't exercise a god's will were worse than ordinary mages, nothing but charlatans.

And Hayden happened to know one of them, knew his strength, and naturally didn't take a higher-ranked Pope seriously.

Even if the Pope was ten times stronger than the archbishop, so what?

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that this Pope Anthony had a 'god' backing him, and this god happened to be right beside him, and was now flinging out a spiritual tendril that had stuck onto him — awkward.

Hayden was first stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Leichner's spiritual tendril?" The moment the words fell, he suddenly felt a great force surging over, dragging him over to be slammed down with a few good thwacks.

The moment the first slam landed, Hayden's form exploded apart with a boom, turning into a cloud of smoke.

Seeing Ange's spiritual tendrils also transformed from four into countless thread-like strands, and with a fierce yank, a layer was torn off from Hayden's smoke.

Hayden let out a muffled grunt, and in some panic burrowed toward the ground.

Having a layer of smoke torn off was equivalent to having a large chunk of his form sliced away; although it didn't hurt, the loss to his form was severe — a few more tears like that and he'd be left with nothing but a soul.

Why can spiritual tendrils be used like this? Leichner's spiritual tendril was only one; even if it stuck him, it would only tear off a tiny bit of form — no, something's off, something's off!

Thud — Hayden crashed headfirst into the floor; the smoke couldn't penetrate the floor.

When he came to and looked, he saw Seeing Ange radiating divine light, a beam of light linking him and Seeing Ange together — Guardian Bulwark.

"This Guardian Bulwark is just too much — everyone else uses it for protection, but he uses it to grab people, way too practical." Lord Nai Ge Li Si complained gloomily.

Who would have thought that the most practical use of Guardian Bulwark wasn't for protecting people, but for grabbing people — the self-forming-law Guardian Bulwark is a divine technique; once cast, it forms a bulwark while simultaneously pulling oneself to the target's side.

Once the bulwark forms, for those outside to attack those inside, they must break through the bulwark; this isn't some protective shield or magic barrier — this is a bulwark; a defense of this level could only be broken barehanded by a monster like Locke, and even then it was a bulwark that had been blown through by the Breath of Repose.

Admittedly, Guardian Bulwark wasn't as thick as the Holy Heaven Kingdom's, nor as thick as the Main Plane's, but it was still a bulwark; its greatest flaw was that when activated, those outside couldn't attack those inside, and those inside couldn't attack those outside either.
