The day of the Church of the Mages' secret deal with the Divine Heirs was soon approaching. For the past two days, the person in charge of this matter in the church has been secretly preparing this matter according to a predetermined plan.

Lora didn't seem to notice that Atlvans had gone to the basement again the night before leaving. Atfan secretly monitored Rola's every move, and judging from the other party's behavior, Artfans's behavior of sneaking into the basement again before leaving was not detected.

The weather was not particularly good on this day, the sky was always overcast, and it seemed that it would rain at any moment.

Although Rusha was generally aware of Atvance's plan, Atellance didn't tell her exactly what he would do. However, Ai Rusha is also ready to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations.

Having been locked up in the basement of the church for some time, Rusha's concept of time was a little vague, all she knew was that while she was as quiet in the cage as ever, the door to the basement suddenly opened, and a group of church members loaded herself into the car with the cage and dragged it away.

The clearing north of Kiddell City seemed darker than the rest, not denser clouds but more like a layer of black fog. However, the people of the Church of Magicians did not care, and they quietly waited for the arrival of the Lord of the Divine Heir Clan in their mouths.

Rusha looked up at the sky, her reddish eyes suddenly widening.

"Black Demon Seed ......"

These four words came out of Ai Rusha's mouth, in a volume that she couldn't hear clearly. Of course, the people in the church didn't hear it.

As the representative of the church in this transaction, Rogge's expression was very solemn. First, he had to be cautious with the Lord of the Divine Heirs, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the possibility of an attack by Artevans at any time.

(We've been standing here for a while, hasn't Bayrans moved yet?) Could it be that Lora was wrong in his prediction and he didn't choose to come? ）

Rogge felt a little puzzled, after all, the people of the Divine Heir Clan had not yet arrived, and there were not many church members in the clearing, and this time was the time when Artevans had the highest success rate. But even though Rogge has been vigilant here for a long time, there is no suspicious figure.

Except for Rusha, everyone didn't know at this time that on the floor under their feet, a large black net was faintly visible.

After a few moments, a ray of light fell into the clearing, making the surroundings brighter.

The light quickly dissipated, and three figures appeared in the clearing, with Notek standing in the center, followed by his men.

"Tsk...... It seems that the time has not come.' Notek looked at the overcast sky, then at the gloomy surroundings, and smacked his mouth. Obviously, Notek was not happy with the weather.

"This is Master Notek, I'm Rogge from the Church of Wizards when we first met." When Rogge saw Notek's appearance, his frowning brows instantly relaxed, and his nervousness eased a little. He stepped forward.

Notek looked at Rogge as he walked over, his brow furrowed, and a look of disgust appeared in his eyes. He held out his hand and motioned for Rogge to stop moving forward.

"Needless to say, leave me what I want. By the way, this is your reward.'" Notek spoke to Rogge in a contemptuous tone as he pulled out a stone from his pocket with the seal of the Divine Heir.

"Good...... Okay, you guys, move the cage over.'" Rogge looked at Notek's look of disdain and sank his face. But the difference in strength was there, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only order his subordinates to hand over the cage containing Ai Rusha.

"Do humans only use brute force? Still, I'll do it myself.'" Notek snorted coldly when he saw a group of church members carefully removing the cages, and winked at his subordinates.

Notek's men nodded, and reached out, and several thin lines of magic stretched out, pulling the cage over.

"The deal is complete." Notek threw the stone over.

The stone arced in the air, and it didn't fall into Rog's hand yet. At this moment, a large black net suddenly appeared on the ground, constantly bubbling with a dark aura.

"Not good!" Notek immediately felt something strange from under his feet and floated into the air.

As soon as his feet left the ground, a strong black mist erupted from the large black net, enveloping the entire clearing.

"Is this Nightmare's accomplice!?" Notek immediately saw that it was demonic magic. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, and looked around at the gloomy surroundings.

(I see, the magic that shields the magical aura is emitted with the help of a dark cloud, and the ground is covered with this thin black mist, so even I didn't realize that a trap had been laid here.) ）

When the black fog erupted, the door of the cage was rushed open, and Rusha immediately used the cover of the black fog to melt into the darkness and escape.

Notek looked at the black mist-shrouded clearing, his brow furrowed, and his expression was displeased. Then he waved his hand and threw out a golden blade of light, trying to split the black mist.

As soon as the blade of light touched the black mist, it dissipated as if it had been hindered by something. Immediately after, the black mist quickly contracted, condensing into a dark spear and stabbing at Notek.

Notek was startled and mobilized a large amount of magic to release a light curtain that neutralized the black spear.

"I'm going to see who ...... it," and in the middle of his sentence, Notek saw the extra figure in the clearing, and his face showed a hint of surprise, but then his face became gloomy and even a little angry.

Atfans was sitting leisurely in the cage, looking at Notek with a smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Notek." Artevans put his hand on the cage, and in an instant, the cage shattered into powder, and Artevans slowly fell to the ground.

The two men brought by Notek, as well as the people from the Wizard's Church, were all eroded by the black fog because the attack just now was too sudden and could not resist in time.

Rog reacted in an instant, protecting himself with flames, but was still knocked unconscious by the powerful dark aura and fell to the ground.

At this moment, a black shadow that was almost imperceptible was surrounding Rogge's head, absorbing something from Rogge's brain.

Notek's attention was all focused on Artevans, and he didn't notice the dark shadow.

"Artevans, hmph, you haven't even died yet, it seems that that old guy Siya really thinks about the friendship between master and apprentice, and leaves you a way to live." As he spoke, Notek gathered the light on his body, and the power of the oracle surged violently in his body.

"However, since you are here, then I will eradicate you on behalf of the Divine Heirs!"

A bolt of light broke through the clouds and rained down on Artefans' head. The astonishing power and speed of the Light seemed to tear through the space around it.

"On behalf of the Divine Heirs, what a nice thing to say. But do you really think you'll be able to defeat me?'

Artevans glanced at the holy light above his head, and as soon as he raised his hand, a black vortex appeared above him.

The light came into contact with the black vortex and was gradually disintegrated and swallowed. Eventually, this holy light, which could destroy almost the entire clearing, was completely absorbed by the black vortex and disappeared into mid-air along with the black vortex.

(I haven't seen him for a while, has he actually reached this point, isn't it good.) Do you want to use the oracle to leap here, no, it will attract attention, and the old man will definitely find out. ）

Notek's expression was very solemn, and the black vortex that Artevans had just released easily devoured Notek's almost strongest moves. In other words, the strength of Artevans is close to his usual strength. But Notek didn't dare to enter the jump easily, after all, his actions this time were completely secret from the Divine Heir Clan, and Siya, as the archbishop, did not allow such behavior.

On the other side, Artevans was also a little surprised that the black vortex he had just released could easily resist Notek's attack.

Ever since waking up at the borders of the Cole Mountains, he has felt something strange inside him, even though he can't really see through his interior. It seems that he has more energy.

Although Artevans has improved a lot, he doesn't plan to fight Notek here, he knows that Notek's strength is still above him. If Notek is forced to perform an oracle leap, Artevans will be in a desperate situation.

Looking at the corpses of the members of the Church of Magicians on the ground, and inadvertently glancing at the dark shadow surrounding Rog's head, Artevans suddenly had an idea.

"Notek, why didn't you attack, you want to avenge the time when you were in Tole Village, don't you?" Atfans said to Notek in a provocative tone.

"Hmph, I'm going to take your life now!" As he spoke, a magic circle unfolded behind him, and balls of light flew out around the magic array.

(exactly what I want...... ）

Artevans wiped his left arm with his right hand, and a layer of black mist attached to it. Then, he raised his left arm and bounced the balls of light into the air again and again.

The orb of light was bounced off the black mist on Atfans' left arm, and some of it flew towards Notek, while the rest of the ground hit the corpses of the church members on the ground with precision.

Faced with the ball of light flying back, Notek did not panic, and swung a blade of light to shatter the ball of light. But then, Artevans turned into a black mist and punched Notek.

Notek raised his arm to block, and in an instant, the black mist dispersed, filling the entire clearing, obstructing Notek's vision for a while.

Notek activated the shield to protect himself while he watched his surroundings intently, ready to respond to Artevans' next attack. But until the black fog dissipated, Artevans did not attack again.

At this time, in the entire clearing, except for the corpses of the people of the Wizard's Church and two of Notek's men, Notek was left standing alone, and Artevans had long since disappeared.

The black shadow that had originally surrounded Rog's head disappeared immediately, and was never noticed by Notek.

"Human, what a waste!" Looking at the corpses of church members lying on the ground, Notek said in disgust.

Looking at the two subordinates who had already fallen, Notek waved his hand, and the corpses of the two subordinates turned into specks of fluorescence and disappeared with the wind.

Just as Notek was about to leave, a light suddenly lit up in the overcast sky, blowing the clouds away.

When Notek looked up, he couldn't help but frown, his palms sweating from nervousness.

The light gradually condensed into a sentence. "Can you explain to me what you've just done, and what you've done behind my back, Notek. I'm in the village of Pano, waiting for you. - Siya. ”
