Chapter 621 Opening

621 Opening

Acting swiftly, he promptly alerted Magnus, Chad, and Lisa that a confrontation might be imminent and he might require their assistance to safeguard the townspeople from any potential harm.

With this precautionary measure in place, Vale addressed the suspected Demon Saint while fully on guard.

”Are they yours? Those items looked sinister... I wonder, why would you bother circulating those cursed items if you have the power to create chaos without them...” Vale queried, adopting a composed yet inquisitive tone as he sought to engage the enigmatic visitor in dialogue.

He wanted to know more about their plans and also about the Demon Saints themselves.

They were basically showing themselves in broad daylight as if they werenʼt afraid of any Arcanists that could hunt them down!

ʼAre they that confident that no one could hurt them?ʼ Vale thought as he prepared for a fight.

”Haha... You could say so. I placed all those curses in them so I noticed when they disappeared. I didnʼt expect someone to easily see through that. However, since youʼre an incomplete Immortal, I guess itʼs not that surprising,” the enigmatic individual responded with a sardonic chuckle while gradually materializing a black sword from the void.

To be precise, the weapon was entirely composed of black energy, fashioned into the form of a sword.

It became evident that a confrontation with this person was inevitable.

”Although your physique isnʼt that great... You should still have some Divinity in your body... It should still give some nutrients I need.” The mysterious figure remarked, alluding to Valeʼs inherent Divinity.

”Divinity? So youʼre really a Demon Saint...” Vale acknowledged, simultaneously instructing Yvaine to retrieve his Doombringer Sword.

Upon drawing his sword, electric sparks began to emanate from the blade, as if it were being charged for the impending clash.

”Good sword!” the Demon Saint commented as he swiftly lunged toward Vale with his dark sword in hand.

Concerned about the potential danger posed to the townspeople, Vale promptly activated the Fiendʼs Wrath Spell, which had already reached the Perfect Realm.

Whom~

The activation of the spell covered Vale by a distinct beastly aura that boosted his strength.

Boom!

The ensuing clash resulted in a resounding impact, propelling the Demon Saint into the cursed forest!

Valeʼs unexpected surge in strength, courtesy of the amplified spell, caught the Demon Saint off guard, tipping the scales decisively in Valeʼs favor.

”What an incredible physique… I didnʼt expect that youʼre a Knight—”

Before the Demon Saint could finish his words, he realized that his opponent was preparing to unleash an unexpected spell, contrary to his initial expectations.

He had anticipated a close-combat confrontation with the strength that Vale had shown. He knew that the strength that threw him away was something that no human could possibly do!

It was no wonder why the Demon Saint was taken aback when a potent surge of Holy Energy enveloped the surroundings.

”Holy Smite!”

A resplendent burst of sacred energy descended from above, engulfing the Demon Saint and searing his corporeal form.

Astonished by the overwhelming power of the attack, the Demon Saint found himself questioning the true identity of his opponent.

”So powerful?! Am I contending with a high-level priest?”

The realization dawned upon the Demon Saint as he fought with the powerful holy spell.

The unexpected descent of a level 10 or Perfect Realm Holy Smite caught him off guard, inflicting considerable damage.

He used a Physical Defense Spell just now because of Valeʼs Fiendʼs Wrath Spell… He didnʼt expect a sudden switch of Arcane Path from him!

”Aaagghhh!” A thunderous bellow echoed through the vicinity as the Demon Saintʼs horns surged with black energy, repelling the holy smite and averting further injury.

As the residual smoke dissipated, the Demon Saint observed the lingering effects of the attack on his body, only to witness his injuries gradually dissipate as a radiant purple light emanated from his horns.

”Not bad! However, you shouldʼve seized that opportunity I presented to you...” The Demon Saint remarked as he propelled himself toward Vale with a menacing aura.

That Holy Smite was a powerful spell and there was no way that his opponent could immediately recover from that… Furthermore, it mustʼve exhausted his energy!

Empowered by an ominous force, the Demon Saint exuded a formidable strength that Vale had never before encountered in his adversaries.

Clang!

In an instant, their swords clashed as the energy of lightning and the force of malevolence created a shockwave that destroyed the surrounding trees and killed the innocent wild animals around.

Nevertheless, while Vale and the Demon Saint engaged in a relentless exchange of swordplay, Yvaine found an opportunity to leave Valeʼs side to set up an ambush at a later time.

ʼTsk… Did I not fully recover yet? Why am I struggling against an incomplete Immortal?ʼ The Demon Saint thought as he realized that his energy was being consumed too quickly in each clash against his opponent.

It was something very unusual, so he could only blame the environment.

He couldnʼt help but condemn the human realm that was still filled with Arcane Energy and not Evil Energy.

It was a shame, but if cursed artifacts had fully activated and created chaos, he would surely have had enough energy to kill the pest in front of him!

ʼYouʼre lucky, incomplete Immortal!ʼ

The Demon Saint then burst with power, aiming to cut his opponent into two!

On the other hand, Vale didnʼt care about Demon Saintʼs sentiments as he executed the Shadowblade Dance technique, deftly maneuvering through the chaotic flurry of strikes and counterattacks.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The clash of their blades reverberated through the air, accompanied by the crackling discharge of arcane energy that continuously destroyed the surroundings!

Nevertheless, despite the ferocity of their duel, neither emerged as the clear victor.

ʼSo, annoying!ʼ

The Demon Saint felt incredibly frustrated as he couldnʼt get a clean hit on his opponent.

Although he was immune to many Spells, he couldnʼt maintain this for long.

”Youʼre lucky, young man… Once the Abyss Realm starts merging into this Realm, I will not be this weak! Letʼs face again once Iʼm ready!”

As he said this, he immediately turned his back and was about to use a mysterious spell to disappear…

However, Vale has been waiting for this opportunity!
