Chapter 22: The First Battle of the Demigods
The "Predator-Blooded Cross" is a secret organization that has only appeared in the past two or three hundred years, and it also believes in the "true creator".
This organization wants to change society, change the world, so that the transcendent is no longer hidden, and becomes a true ruler in the eyes of everyone, so there is no taboo about showing power in front of people.
For example, Tony Donn, the "Bishop of War" who was chasing Ince Zangwill to Stern Station at this time, unabashedly flaunted his abilities.
Confident that he would become a "conqueror", he only thought that he was above ordinary people, and without hesitation, he condensed dozens of spears made of incandescent flames in his hand and threw them towards the platform and the train that had just entered the station.
For Tony Towne, because of his own fanfare, the demigods of the church may come to stop him at any time, and he has no time to carefully screen the "prey" that played him once before, it is better to use this simple and crude indiscriminate attack method to force the prey out.
Anyway, that prey was strong enough to be killed by such a simple attack.
As for the deaths and injuries of ordinary people? What does that have to do with him?
At the same time, Hugh on the platform felt a strong fear in his heart, as if he were a small animal targeted by a seasoned hunter.
The pressure from the spiritual plane made her raise her head in a cold sweat, and then she saw dozens of spears of flames, like meteorites, falling from the sky!
Before he had time to think about it, Hugh immediately put a golden mask on his face, and while trying to "imprison" or "exile" the spears, he shouted for the passengers and the platform staff to take emergency shelter.
But at this moment, the void in front of the flame spear suddenly fluctuated like the surface of the water, forming illusory "doors", and those spears disappeared the moment they touched the "door", as if they had "traveled" to another world.
This is a comprehensive application based on the "Mystic Mage's" banishment and transmogrification abilities, which can banish enemy attacks out of this world.
Naturally, it was Abner who struck, although with a slight move, Hugh could avoid the direct attack of the Flame Lance and deflect to a tributary of fate with only a few minor injuries, thus completing the role of "Prophet......
But the price of this is that the train and platform are hit by the demigod ability, killing and injuring hundreds of people!
Abner was not a compassionate saint, but he couldn't sit back and watch such a thing happen.
If I didn't encounter it, I didn't forget it, but now the attack is happening right in front of my eyes...... And I have the power to stop!
You can find the opportunity to play again, but if you don't do some things, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
In a flash of thought, Abner used the secret technique of the "Mystic Mage" ability to block the attack of the strange "hunter" path demigod.
This comes from the knowledge contained in Alvin Abraham's "semi-mythical biomorphology", which is naturally used by the current Abner, as if it were derived from instinct.
This situation also made Abner realize the necessity of his life as a "reader...... Except for the "reader", even if the knowledge contained in the "pure white eye" is obtained by those who are extraordinary in other ways, I am afraid that it will be difficult to apply it in this way.
Tony Towne, the "War Bishop" of the Predator-Blooded Cross, apparently did not expect that there would be a demigod hidden on the train platform, he was slightly stunned, and then became angry, and his eyes were locked on Abner, who had appeared because of his ability...... Or rather, the image of the "professor" of Abner.
After all, no matter how conceited and rebellious he was, he knew that he couldn't defeat a demigod in a short period of time and hunt another demigod...... And with a little delay, the Holy One of the Church will come, and it may not be so simple to retreat when the time comes.
So after a quick weigh-up, he decided to retreat immediately.
However, before retreating, Tony Towne decided to teach the nosy demigod a lesson, preferably to inflict a heavy blow on him and let him be caught by the church.
As soon as he thought of it, Tony Towne pulled out a javelin from behind...... Unlike the previous Flame Lance, this is a real, extraordinary material spear, although it is only a one-time consumable, but it has extreme speed and must-hit attributes.
He took the javelin in his hand and made a throwing motion at Abner, and then the javelin appeared on the latter's chest as if it had crossed space.
What's even more terrifying is that this javelin also comes with a "lethal attack" that has been sublimated to the demigod level, no matter where it hits the target, whether it has a stand-in or damage transfer, it is equivalent to a weakness attack!
But the javelin was blocked in the end!
The fatal blow didn't move any further, for in front of it was a book with a dark brown cover.
The book looked ordinary, bound into the inner pages of the usual yellow-brown parchment, but it was not as broken as the outer two layers of clothing, and not even a single notch appeared.
"Grossell's Travels"!
And at the back of "Grossell's Travels", there is also a book with a dark cover and made of unknown materials: the Necronomicon.
Seeing that the attack of the "hunter" demigod did not even penetrate the first layer of books, Abner breathed a sigh of relief, and also stopped preparing to activate the "blessing of the god of beauty" on his forehead.
Glancing at the figure that flew away quickly with the help of a throwing reverse push in the air, adhering to the idea of "coming without being rude", Abner did not hesitate, and accumulated light in his hand, and also condensed a spear, a spear that was so pure that it seemed to be composed of pure sunlight!
This is the "Gun of Darkness" of the "Darknessless One"!
The Darkless Spear passed through the "door" in the void and quickly appeared behind Tony Towne......
Immediately after, there was a "boom", blazing to the extreme, and the miniature sun that was enough to illuminate the city erupted!
Since the explosion occurred at a high altitude and far away from the city of Stone, people just felt that the sunlight was suddenly dazzling, and when they looked up, they found a huge and dazzling halo around the sun, forming a "solar halo" phenomenon.
Only Hugh, who had been keeping an eye on development, and the "Night Watchman", "Punisher Substitute", and "Mechanical Heart" squads who arrived quickly, understood what was going on.
And just when everyone's attention was attracted by this second round of sun, a single middle-aged man with dark gold hair and a high nose took advantage of the chaos to leave the station and disappeared into the crowd on the street.
And in his hand, an unfolded notebook faintly revealed the words written in it:
“…… After a provocation at the port, Tony Towne of the Predator-Blooded Cross once again targeted Ince Zangwill and launched a hunt for him, in the process, the aspiring 'War Bishop' attacked the steam train station indiscriminately, regardless of the lives of ordinary people.
"Tony made the judgment that best suited his character, so there was nothing wrong with such a move.
"But a bit of a coincidence, a strange powerful Sage was at the station at this time, and he blocked Tony's attack.
"The plan to force Ince out did not succeed, and Tony Towne had to make the decision to retreat temporarily for fear that the Holy Beings of the Church would come to surround him, but he was annoyed that the demigod on the platform had ruined his hunt and decided to teach him a lesson......"
A few lines are crossed out below.
"Unfortunately, Tony Don is so confident in his own strength that he completely ignores the possibility of the enemy catching his attack and counterattacking, which is not quite in line with his hunting instincts, but in this world, everyone can make mistakes, and that's reasonable!"
A few lines were crossed out again.
"In the end, Tony Towne survived through the 'Void Gate' despite being successfully attacked by the 'Silent Spear' with the powers of 'Cleavage', 'Fatal Attack', 'Curse of Weakness', 'Gate of the Underworld', 'Paralyzing Toxin' and 'Punishment'.
"Unfortunately, he was badly injured and won't be able to pursue Ince Zangwill again for at least a month."
……
At the same time, Abner, who had "teleported" away before the official Extraordinary's arrival, muttered to himself:
"Won't you die?
"Demigods, especially demigods at the level of Sequence 3, are really hard to kill!"
