Chapter 51: Meat, he really is meat!

All that could be seen was the deep interior of the red-brick hut, filled with spreading fire.

Hum~~

The extremely rich holy light blazed forth brightly.

It was more than ten times thicker and heavier than the holy aura within the previous fire.

At this moment, his connection to the Dark Sun Altar inside the house was completely severed by that scorching holy light.

"The holy aura of that fire is obviously very weak, so why…… did it suddenly become so rich and heavy."

"Moreover…… he is still a Shadow Mage!"

"No!"

He slowly turned his head, looking toward the "Shadow Mage" who had walked out from the shadows.

"He is not a Shadow Mage."

"The point is not his mage identity, but——"

Asen, after taking a deep breath, became even more cautious and careful.

"How does he know I have a connection to the altar, and even used an effective method to sever my connection with the altar."

"Moreover, he could obviously act more conveniently in the shadows."

"Why did he come out?"

A series of doubts surged in Asen's heart.

"He…… seems to be waiting for something!"

With that thought, Asen increasingly sensed something amiss, gathering his perceptive power to look at the thick, undispersing shadow behind the Shadow Mage.

He had just looked over.

The Shadow Mage's voice had already sounded.

"Oh! Have you finally noticed something's off?"

Ta Ke smiled lightly.

This mage family's pay-to-win youth looks quite formidable.

But under layers of protection, he probably hasn't suffered society's beatings.

Ta Ke's simple probe already confirmed this matter.

Just now, when Ta Ke threw the fire oil bomb into the house, he silently linked the spherical "Light-Shaping Spear" with the fire oil bomb under his 【Precision Correction】 control, achieving perfect coordination.

Inner light, outer flame, plus the fire oil bomb itself contains a hint of holy aura.

Some of the undispersed fire oil bombs, the things hidden inside, that guy simply cannot feel.

The combination of sorcery can produce many unexpected effects.

And now it perfectly counters the connection between the Dark Sun Altar and this Dark Sun Church genius.

"The condensed-state 【Life Plating】 ability is truly enviable."

"Then…… whose condensed-state Life Plating is stronger, mine or my Light-Shaping Spear?"

Ta Ke lightly waved his hand, and the shadow was dispelled.

There were as many as seven or eight Light-Shaping Spears floating behind Ta Ke.

Each one contained an astonishingly strong holy light and aura.

For a moment, it seemed as if light had returned to the world.

"Impossible, how could light be hidden in the depths of shadow, and moreover be such a rich light?"

Feeling that rich, heavy force, almost able to directly oppose the Dark Sun he controls.

Asen's heart trembled slightly.

He wasn't afraid of opposing the light.

But…… the opponent's means were completely unreasonable, even unscientific.

This greatly shocked his worldview.

"Who wraps holy light inside their shadow?"

"If shadow wraps holy light inside, is it still called shadow?"

"In fact……"

Ta Ke summoned with one hand, and a Light-Shaping Spear fell into his palm.

"As long as you grasp the power of sorcery with sufficient finesse and precision."

"Light and darkness can then walk together."

Ta Ke raised his hand, aiming at "Asen," this A-rank genius of the Dark Sun Church.

"Bullet…… light spear!"

The coordination between the Bullet Tendril and the Light-Shaping Spear, Ta Ke certainly hasn't put in little effort here.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out, and then the curtain fell.

Sizzle——

Sizzle——

The sound of two layers being pierced followed.

At this moment, Asen had already dodged several meters away, landing in the afterimage.

His solemn expression was carved onto his face like a stone carving.

"Fast, it's really too fast."

He knew how formidable the light spear imbued with holy aura was.

But the stronger the witchcraft that bears power, the more its two-stage casting can be effectively avoided.

Even if a certain witchcraft linkage is completed, it only provides a certain degree of enhancement.

But...

The opponent's light spear's two-stage witchcraft linkage.

It's completely absurd.

He had already felt the opponent's attack.

At the same time, using Dark Sun to draw out a phantom to avoid the opponent's attack.

But it was useless.

The opponent's spear seemed to aim at where his foot would land.

His own and the opponent's spear converged.

The two layers of extremely strong "Life Coating" just disappeared like that.

"Dark Sun!"

Arthur retreated while activating Dark Sun source energy.

Clusters of black, twisting, twisting spheres swiftly rose.

With each black sphere that rose, Taku felt the surrounding air grow a bit more viscous.

A kind of powerful area-restricting witchcraft.

Although he didn't understand its principle, Taku could see its characteristics in action.

And he seemingly lacked any means to counter this type of spell.

Lacking a counter, he simply wouldn't counter.

Taku bore the slightly viscous air.

He raised his hand again.

Bullet·Light Spear.

"Boom!"

The powerful light force pierced through again.

"Sizzle—"

The Light-Shaping Anchor pierced through the two layers of Life Coating once more.

He was completely no match.

At this moment, Arthur completely gave up resistance; his sole goal was to return to the hut, to the altar inside.

As long as he returned to the altar, using the Dark Sun power there, he could replenish his Life Coating.

Then he could stand invincible.

That light power severed his link to the Dark Sun altar.

He could not use Dark Sun's power to directly pass through.

"Running back is victory!"

Arthur launched a charge toward the hut.

And Taku, who had deliberately lured him out, would not let him go back.

"Blood Thorn Vines!"

A vine that had long been lying in wait in the house's courtyard suddenly shot forth.

A muffled "pop".

Arthur was yanked back several meters, and his path back was also cut off.

The repelled Arthur pressed down with one hand, and a Dark Sun meteorite fell.

The black meteorite and flames instantly submerged the vine.

Taku forcibly suppressed the already somewhat trembling bullet-tendril spell framework, again completing the linkage with the Light-Shaping Spear.

"This guy is really just flesh!"

In the midst of the attack, Taku couldn't help but sigh.

From the first glance at this mage family's "pay-to-win youth" Arthur.

Taku knew that this guy had basically put all his points into defense.

After all, this guy possessed the extremely rare A-rank extraordinary talent 【Life Coating】.

Naturally capable of enduring blows.

Moreover, he had also mastered the "Sheep Transformation" technique.

His main focus was a combination of "survival" and "control".

One has to admit, his thinking is quite clear.

Any other mage, Taku could teach them how to be a person in a split second.

But this Arthur withstood Taku's output of several tons.

Moreover, this Arthur was quite clever; knowing Taku was agile, after trying and finding he could not inflict effective damage or control on Taku, he immediately wanted to return to the "spring".

As long as he returned to the altar, he could obtain a replenishment of Dark Sun power.

To restore his Life Coating.

This guy, able to rise to his current position in the Evil God organization, really has something.

Raising his arm, Taku wanted to condense the Bullet·Light Spear again.

But looking at that Arthur who had already passed through the flames and was quickly approaching the house.

Using the Blood Thorn Vines again would probably be too late.

Ta Ke, aiming at the fire-rising red brick house, fired a shot.

This is just an ordinary bullet-tentacle shot.

But with this shot's attack,

The light-shaping spear·balls inside the house that burst forth with holy light seemed as if their fuses had been triggered.

「Boom—」

Deafening explosion, it burst forth with a bang!

Scorching holy aura permeated, dazzling, like angels descending.

It almost lifted the roof of the house.

And Ya Se Xun, he dove straight in fiercely.
