Chapter 14: Slaying the God’s Servant!

From the Gods at least exist at the level of [Demigods].
Due to the nature of the divine realm, their challenge difficulty likely doesn’t differ much from that of True Gods, as the divine kingdom constantly restores their divine power value. If the damage dealt to them cannot exceed the speed at which they recover, the final result is being slowly worn down by these demigods. Most demigods are experienced foes in battle, but fortunately, among the followers of the God of the Hunt—Mara, there are no spellcasters, and the demigod in front of him is purely melee, relying entirely on divine power for spellcasting.
——“Dimensional Lock! [Divine Power Conversion]”
In the face of the demigod’s ferocious attacks, Soren showed no sign of fear. Since the opponent had sealed his spatial teleportation ability, he would naturally seal the opponent’s as well.
——“Killing [Domain]!”
——“Fear [Domain]!”
——“Shadows [Domain]!”
——“Death [Domain]!”
——“Plants [Domain]!”
Soren couldn’t afford to enter a war of attrition with Mara’s demigod, as the longer it dragged on, the more detrimental it would be for him.
Faced with the fierce attacks of the enemy, he activated the five domain abilities he mastered. As the power of divinity enveloped him, the space around Soren began to twist gradually; this was the power of the divine kingdom colliding with his domains, causing the already unstable plane to become even less stable.
——“Arcane Missile *5!”
——“Lesser Missile Storm!”
——“Isaac’s Advanced Missile Storm!”
——“Mayoufu Acid Arrow!”
——“Fire Arrow!”
——“Mayoufu Meteor!”
A torrential downpour of spell attacks surged towards the charging demigod Mara, who seemed caught off guard by Soren’s ability to unleash so many spells instantaneously, and was almost immediately overwhelmed. At that moment, it was hard to tell how many attacks hit; amidst a torrent of chaotic missiles, the demigod was nearly obscured.
Two flames appeared in Soren’s palms.
Against the demigod Mara, Soren did not use melee attacks, as the opponent’s physical damage reduction was over 80%.
In other words, this was similar to a Demigod Lich.
——“Saint Form!”
Soren’s storm of attacks also provoked the wrath of the demigod Mara. As a beast-shaped divine servant, she was equally capable of countering with divine techniques. Unfortunately, as soon as Soren activated his Saint Form, he became immune to lower-level spell effects, while higher-level divine techniques require casting time. At this moment, the Mayoufu Meteor flames in Soren’s palms had already been thrown.
The damage of Mayoufu Meteor was not high.
But this damage was remarkably stable; each Mayoufu Meteor he cast dealt 5 points of damage, directly penetrating Mara’s immunity defenses and causing damage effects she could not resist.
God-slaying spell!
This title is not merely for show; even Soren could not resist this damage effect of less than 5 points when activating his divine form.
Once it was 5 points of damage.
Soren could create 20 Mayoufu Meteors with a single spell, totaling 100 points of damage.
If those 20 Mayoufu Meteors were to be thrown by a wizard, regardless of whether they could hit a demigod like the opponent, just the time taken to throw all 20 would be enough for the demigod to kill them several times over.
But!
Soren’s attack speed was incredibly fast.
He mastered the [Perfect Dual Wielding] specialty, and the Mayoufu Meteor flames were condensed in the palms of both hands. This meant he was in dual-wielding mode.
In this case.
Soren’s rate of fire was like a torrential storm; flames streaked across the sky, and a single ‘Mayoufu Meteor’ spell was used up in just a second or two.
Immediately following was another instant cast spell, and the Mayoufu Meteor flames reappeared in his palms.
BIUBIUBIU~!
At this moment, Soren resembled a high-caliber machine gun, with the missile storm from before still fading. Following that were the ceaseless Mayoufu Meteors.
The burst damage at this moment likely exceeded 1000 points!
Even though Mara’s demigod mitigated part of the damage and spell effects, after using three ‘Mayoufu Meteors,’ she was already on the verge of death due to Soren’s assault. The majority of the damage was inflicted by Mayoufu Meteor, with over half of the previous lower-level spells being evaded by the enemy. However, Soren’s intention was to use low-level spells to create a diversion. The real offensive against the enemy was the god-slaying spell’s damage that ignored immunities.
——“Greater Restoration!”
The excessive damage immediately alerted Mara to the danger. With the surge of divine power, she sought to cast Greater Restoration on herself.
This spell could directly heal all injuries.
Even if she was brought to the brink of death by Soren, she could instantly be fully revived.
However.
This spell required time to cast.
Yet the demigod was not concerned about this. The divine techniques she cast were converted from divine power and were based on an energy-formed body. This was the divine kingdom of the God of the Hunt—Mara. Here, there were almost no enemies capable of interrupting her casting. Therefore, as long as Soren could not kill her within those three seconds of her casting, she would be able to restore all her vitality. Within the divine kingdom of the God of the Hunt, the demigod could almost infinitely use this high divine art.
Near-immortal!
As long as the divine power within the kingdom was not exhausted, the hunting demigod could infinitely use full restored divine arts.
But!
How could Soren possibly allow the opponent time to cast? This was not his first exploration of the divine realm.
He had suffered multiple failures in the past precisely because he had been drained to death by full healing spells, unable to eliminate the last vestige of the divine servant’s health while the opponent continuously cast ‘Greater Restoration’. Ultimately, the entire legendary adventurer team used up all their spells and items, forcing them to retreat.
——“Divine Power Shockwave [Single Target]!”
——“Edict: Death!……”
Faced with a hunting demigod nearing death, a cruel smile appeared on Soren’s face as he raised his hand to unleash a divine power shockwave, directly inflicting 120 points of true damage.
Next.
The power of the Death Domain activated, and Soren cast the ‘Edict: Death’ spell, at which point Mara, who was about to complete her casting of ‘Greater Restoration,’ had less than 120 points of health remaining.
Execution!
Soren had long possessed the ability to execute enemies with less than 240 points of health remaining.
Divine Power Shockwave.
Edict: Death.
These two abilities combined were meant to deal with enemies that could restore indefinitely, achieving a vicious execution effect against those with up to 240 points of vitality, with the former causing true damage from divine power, and the latter directly ignoring immunities for annihilation effects.
“No!!!……”
When she realized what spell Soren was about to cast, the hunting demigod let out a roar filled with disbelief and anger, but by then, it was already too late.
What immunities! What resistances! What will!
All complete nonsense.
There were only two ways to counter the ‘Edict: Death’. One was having health above the threshold that triggers death, and the other was having divine abilities that directly grant immunity to all ‘instant death’ effects.
Soren did not possess immunity to ‘instant death’ effects, and a hunting demigod certainly did not have that either.
Thus, if she fell into death’s door and was hit by ‘Edict: Death’, she was destined to die!
Dissolution.
Under the effect of the legendary spell ‘Edict: Death’, the life form of the hunting demigod began to dissolve directly. Her remaining life was stripped away on the spot, and her entire body began to rapidly dissipate, accompanied by the brilliance of divinity. A stream of divine power began to flow toward Soren.
A line of data appeared before him:
“Killed the hunting demigod—Mara!……”
“Extracting target’s soul energy!……you gained 1,250,000 points of killing experience!……”
“The target possesses divine power!……”
“Extracting target’s divine power!……you gained 10 points of divinity value!……”
“The target possesses divine power!……”
“Extracting target’s divine power!……you gained 5 points of divine attribute value!……”
“Discovered divine power affinity!……”
“Divine power affinity is 65%!……Divine power conversion!……you extracted 72 points of divine power from the current kingdom!……”
………………
A faint golden soul crystal materialized.
Soren waved his hand, and it fell into his palm. This was the soul crystal of the hunting demigod, confirming that in life, she was a high-ranking legendary follower of the God of the Hunt—Mara. After death, she was nurtured by divine power in the divine kingdom, and the effects of her soul crystal exceeded those of other creatures.
This soul crystal would be a tremendous waste to use for creating golems.
It could be used to directly create a Tower Spirit!
Furthermore.
It could potentially create a guardian Tower Spirit like Tower Spirit 13, a demigod guardian with divine power.
“Hm?”
“Indeed, the harvest within the divine kingdom is great!……”
Soren glanced at his data statistics and murmured, “I’ve already reached 100 points of divinity! As long as I completely integrate the divinity, I can upgrade to [Moderate Divinity]. At that time, all attributes can +1 again!……”
“The divine attribute value has also reached 41 points.”
“I wonder if I can increase the divine attribute value to above 50 points within the divine kingdom of the God of the Hunt—Mara!……”
“I hope no one else will snatch my demigod prey!……”
“The current divine power value is 213 points.”
“The killing experience is enough to upgrade my profession level!……However, the priority now is to integrate divine power!……After all attributes get +1, I’ll see which profession level is better to upgrade!……”
Time is running short.
Soren had nearly exhausted his spells. He needed to memorize them again.
Then, the divine power also needed to be integrated and upgraded, but he was somewhat worried about being robbed of the prey within the divine kingdom by others. Soren wasn’t overly concerned about the wealth in treasures; what he truly cared about was the enemies guarding those treasures.
This is a significant source of divinity and divine attribute.
Fortunately.
So far, in the divine kingdom, only Lady Silver Moon had entered. With no other deities around, there were few who could compete with Soren.
