Chapter 51: Killing the Goddess!
August 23, 2016
Author: Floating Tower (诸生浮屠)
The Sixth Sense is a very powerful ability.
It can bring an incredible intuition for danger, and when the crisis of d*ath approaches, one will have a strong sensation.
Swarming poisonous insects are everywhere.
They don’t know what strange thing they are; they seem to be some kind of magical creature, and spells and flames cannot k*ll them instantly. The feeling of danger is getting closer because these bugs are too small in size and too numerous in number. The ant-sized flying insects leave Soren with nowhere to dodge.
“Brother, be careful!”
On the battlefield, the only one with an incredibly strong Sixth Sense is Vivian, the naturally blessed Sorceress. The little girl sharply perceives the crisis and immediately teleports to cast a Legendary Spell.
——“Time Stop!”
The countless flying insects instantly freeze in mid-air. Although they are magical creations of a deity, they still cannot escape the effect of Time Stop.
“Good opportunity!”
Soren suddenly realizes this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Vivian’s support gives Soren a chance to launch a surprise attack. The Goddess of Toxicity, Talona, is a deity who does not use weapons; her full name is “Goddess of Toxicity and Disease,” and her weapon is the rough hand, which is legendary for unarmed attacks. Because she governs disease and toxins, Talona’s hands automatically trigger various effects of diseases and toxins upon contact with enemies. This ability is extremely lethal for mortals, and combined with her Domain Power, even thousands of professionists may not be able to surround and k*ll her.
But for Soren, who has incredible immunity, once the distance is closed, Talona’s unarmed attacks will be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
——“Shadow Assault!”
——“Phantasm!”
Soren’s rush seems like a signal!
In an instant, the entire battlefield’s situation is reversed!
His figure splits into two during the jump, and two identical Sorens appear in front of the Goddess of Toxicity, charging in from both sides, wielding silver-white curved blades. At the same time, the power of the Shadow Plane envelops the area; the aura of d*ath spreads, and the power of killing temporarily suppresses the Sphere of Toxicity, as Soren prepares to close in for hand-to-hand combat.
On the other side of the battlefield.
The Withered Ones serving the Goddess of Toxicity and the believers serving the Goddess of Torment suffer devastating blows because, at the same time Soren casts Phantasm, Gloria under the night sky also splits into two, and a torrent of spell attacks covers them like artillery fire, instantly engulfing all the Withered Ones.
But this is just the beginning!
The seemingly distracted Fallen Witch, Corinna, also gets serious. She casts Phantasm as well, and the two black-robed Fallen Witches take separate actions, unleashing countless spells that flood down like a torrential river.
It should be the simplest for Vivian.
The little girl herself has crushing spell attacks, and because Lilian exists within her, her impact after casting Phantasm is even greater than Soren’s!
She is the only one at the scene who can unleash the full power of Phantasm.
Two figures of Vivian appear on the battlefield, with the main body controlled by Vivian herself and the avatar controlled by Lilian’s consciousness. The first wave consists of thousands of Arcane Missiles, forming a torrent that envelops the followers of the Lady of Torment with completely omnidirectional strikes.
In that moment!
The entire battlefield was transformed, even the Princess widened her mouth in surprise and murmured, “What spell is this?”
Phantasm.
One of the core spells lost during the Arcane Empire period!
………………
Puchi!
A spray of bl**d filled with decay and toxin splatters as Soren expressionlessly swings his curved blade, severing the rotting flesh from his arm before converting divine power to cast a Restoration spell. In front of him stands the battered Goddess of Toxicity, Talona, with many of the pustules on her body having burst. The divine bl**d has decayed due to her divinity, turning into a liquid with terrifying corrosive properties. Everything touched by her bl**d becomes intensely toxic and is filled with a stench of decay.
The winner and loser are already obvious.
Soren’s figure disappears from its original location, reappearing directly behind the Goddess of Toxicity, accompanied by a silver-white bizarre glow, as he swings his blade down to behead her.
Thud.
The headless, scarred body collapses. With Talona’s d*ath, a brilliant divine radiance spreads, a large part of which flows into Soren’s body, while another part disperses among the others on the battlefield.
A ray of divine radiance enters Gloria’s body.
A ray of divine radiance enters Vivian’s body.
A ray of divine radiance enters the Princess’s body.
What surprises Soren is that at the moment the Goddess of Toxicity dies, a beam of light representing divine power actually flies towards the nearby Fallen Witch, who shudders, and this light merges into her body.
The divine essence scattered by the d*ath of the Goddess of Toxicity consists of more than a dozen rays.
Apart from the majority obtained by Soren, even the character Chouhou in combat received 1 point of divine value, and there were also individuals among the Withered Ones in the enemy faction who gained power from the Goddess of Toxicity.
A series of data frantically appears before him:
“k*ll the Goddess of Toxicity – Talona!…”
“Extract target soul energy!… You have gained 6,300,000 points of Killing Experience!…”
“The target possesses divine power!…”
“Extract target divine power!… You have gained 45 points of Divine Value!…”
“The target possesses Godly power!…”
“Extract target Godly power!… You have gained 25 points of Godly Value!…”
………………
“Divine profession fields conflict!… You cannot master the 【Disease】 divine profession!… You gain partial information about the 【Disease】 domain!… You master the 【Disease】 domain!…”
“Would you like to convert the 【Disease】 domain into energy for the 【d*ath】 domain?…”
“Divine profession fields conflict!… You cannot master the 【Toxicity】 divine profession!… You gain partial information about the 【Toxicity】 domain!… You master the 【Toxicity】 domain!…”
“Would you like to merge the 【Toxicity】 domain into the 【Wanderer】 divine profession?”…
………………
No surprises.
Soren does not fully integrate with the divine profession of the Goddess of Toxicity, the only connection being the d*ath brought by disease, and the Wanderers excel in toxins; these two divine professions cannot be compatible with the professions Soren holds, so he can only master a fallback domain ability.
This is also why Talona’s power scattered among many individuals.
