Chapter 19

The fifth-level priest stood with a cold expression, watching the battle from a distance. However, a divine spell he casually cast had already greatly enhanced the strength of the believers here.

The pressure on Rais and the others instantly increased. These believers were already fearless and difficult to deal with, and now with their attributes enhanced, they were even harder to handle than before.

Jiran glanced at the fifth-level priest, thinking for a moment and decided not to approach. He was only in his twenties, and challenging a level fifty BOSS monster would be a surefire way to die...

In this world, the gap between Bronze and Silver tiers was enormous, as evidenced by Rais being able to withstand the attacks of several third-level warriors. This was partly due to Rais's injuries, which had significantly reduced his strength, making him even weaker than a regular fourth-level warrior. The priest was fifth-level! One level higher than Uncle Rais!

Fortunately, the priest, holding himself in high regard, did not personally join the fight, only casting supportive divine spells from a distance. Otherwise, this battle would have been impossible to win...

For now, it was still manageable. They should seize the opportunity while the priest was negligent and not on the battlefield, quickly eliminate these believers, and then surround the fifth-level priest. There might still be a chance of victory!

Jiran then glanced at the remaining two mages.

Now, on the side of the True God believers, only five warriors and two mages were still fighting. The pressure from the five warriors was significant, but Rais and Bambek could still hold their ground. The key was the two mages, who cast various spells, which were much stronger than Lydia's. Lydia had been interrupted while casting a spell and was now unable to cast any more. Only Aileen could pose a certain threat to the two mages. However, the two mages had mutually reinforced their defensive spells, and Aileen, being only third-level, could not break through their shields with her powerful bow...

This was the moment for Jiran to act. He had a plan in mind and focused on a mage who was casting a spell.

"Zhi Chi Tian Ya" (Close-Range Leap) activated! In one step, Jiran rushed to the mage's side. The other mage reacted quickly, immediately casting a defensive spell on the mage in front of Jiran!

However, Jiran did not attack immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath and raised his longsword.

"Jian Qi, Burst!"

Upon reaching level twenty, Jiran had two sword auras. Sword auras could be used to cast sword skills, but they also had other uses, such as the "Burst Sword Aura."

"Burst Sword Aura" consumed an entire sword aura, and its effect was to temporarily increase all of Jiran's attributes by fifty percent. During this time, Jiran's strength could even surpass his own level!

Of course, this was in terms of the levels in this world.

In an instant, a layer of white light enveloped Jiran. The white light rippled, like sword auras constantly pulsing. The longsword in his hand glowed even brighter, and with a swing, he struck heavily at the mage!

"Thunder Strike!" Another thunderous sound interrupted the mage's spell. The mage was dazed and stumbled back. However, Jiran pressed forward, his longsword aimed at the mage's head!

Although the mage retreated, he was not particularly afraid. He still had defensive spells, so it wouldn't be easy to break through. Now was the perfect opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the intruder who had infiltrated their mage team and caused significant damage!

He quickly pulled out a scroll from his pocket and tried to tear it open with both hands.

However, his actions stopped.

Jiran's sword, like cutting through tofu, instantly split the light shield formed by the defensive spell in two!

The mage's eyes widened in terror, and this was his last expression in this world.

To be honest, using "Thunder Strike" to directly kill someone was a sight too gruesome to bear. The sword had struck the top of the mage's head... One could imagine how brutal the scene was. But Jiran suppressed the urge to vomit, pulled the sword out with force, quickly bent down to pick up the scroll, and then turned to charge at the other mage!

The other mage retreated in terror, casting a defensive spell and grabbing the necklace around his neck. Another blue light shield enveloped him, indicating a different type of defensive spell.

However, what could a mage do when a nimble swordsman got close? His death was only a matter of time.

At this moment, more warrior believers came to help. Jiran did not tangle with them, dodged the warrior's attack, and with a "Tide Break," severed the warrior's arm, then turned and left!

Tangling with a warrior while a mage attacked from the side, even he could not guarantee a safe retreat.

The current situation was already good. Although his sword auras were depleted, he had killed another mage and picked up a magic scroll!

Turning again and activating "Zhi Chi Tian Ya," his true qi was almost exhausted. But it didn't matter; he had retreated to Lydia's side.

"Take it, see if you can use it!" Jiran threw the magic scroll to Lydia, then raised his longsword and charged at the warriors in front. On the way, he sheathed his longsword, reached out, and took the two-handed greatsword that Uncle Rais used to wield from his back!

This two-handed greatsword had always been on Jiran's back. After Rais started using the Bone Blade Sword, Jiran had asked for this sword.

The四季剑法 (Four Seasons Sword Technique) had two corresponding mental techniques: Heart Sword and Intent Sword. Heart Sword was agile, and Intent Sword was powerful. Switching to the two-handed greatsword and using the Intent Sword mental technique, Jiran's fighting style changed.

Just like Uncle Rais, he became a formidable barrier, unstoppable with his two-handed greatsword, creating a whirlwind with each swing!

Jiran and Rais became the main force blocking the warrior believers, with Ban and Beck assisting. Aileen focused on the remaining mage, while Lydia, at the back, tore open the scroll, her face pale as she controlled the energy within.

The dead mage had indeed hidden a good item; this scroll was a large-scale attack spell. The advantage of a spell scroll was that it didn't require incantation and could cast spells higher than one's own level!

However, for Lydia, the power of the spell in the scroll was too great. Her mental strength was almost unable to control it, and once triggered, she could only immediately throw it at the group of warrior believers!

A vast sea of fire danced in the air, transforming into fiery snakes that pounced on the warrior believers!

"Damned sinners, you who harm the children of the True God shall be severely punished by the True God!" At this moment, the fifth-level priest moved. Seeing his subordinates about to be killed, he decided to act. Without these people, dealing with this group alone would be difficult. It was better to eliminate them now and offer their souls to the True God's avatar!

Although he couldn't capture them, this outcome was still acceptable.

Facing the incoming fiery snakes, the fifth-level priest stepped forward, raising his hands: "The God says, the sins of the sinners shall be borne by themselves!"

A dark red light rose, enveloping all the warrior believers from below the fiery snakes. The fiery snakes, upon contact with this light, suddenly changed direction and flew back!

The fiery snakes were deflected back, targeting Lydia and Aileen!

Seeing this, Rais's eyes turned red. The fiery snakes were a fourth-level spell, and Lydia and Aileen couldn't withstand them!

"Damn it! You scum of the True God's cult!" Rais suddenly glowed with light, emitting countless auras. With a sudden swing of the Bone Blade Sword, auras formed a gale, directly rushing at the fiery snakes!

In that instant, the auras Rais released far exceeded his current level. All the fiery snakes were almost blocked by the auras, extinguishing in mid-air. The few that fell were intercepted by Ban and Jiran. However, after this burst of auras, Rais was panting, and the Bone Blade Sword dragged on the ground, his strength waning.

"Oh? To be able to burst to such a level, your strength should be more than this... Unfortunately, you seem unable to unleash that power now. So, become a sacrifice to my god honestly!"

The fifth-level priest was surprised by Rais's burst but quickly sneered and raised his hands again: "Lambs of God, offer fresh flesh and blood to your god!"

A dark red mist instantly appeared and merged into the remaining believers. Their eyes turned blood red, and their bodies visibly swelled. With a howl, these believers charged at Rais and the others again!

"Die, you monsters!" Beck suddenly shouted, his body glowing. The pseudo-artifact Jiran had made for him finally activated.

The increase in speed made his movements agile. His spear thrust and stabbed, targeting the vital points of the believers. Although the believers' bodies had swollen and their muscles bulged, their intelligence was clearly lacking, and they only charged recklessly. Beck's spear repeatedly pierced them, the sharpened spear easily penetrating their bodies!

However, strangely, the believers did not stop. It seemed the pain had been blocked, and they grinned, not dodging, and swung their weapons at Beck!

After several successful strikes, Beck found himself in a dire situation. A careless move resulted in a believer's sword slashing his arm, blood immediately spurting out. Injured, Beck had to retreat, while the wounded believers continued to press forward!

Aileen also kept firing arrows, but could only momentarily block the believers. The mage in the back, due to the fifth-level priest's divine spell, had lost his reason and was only instinctively casting his strongest spell. Aileen's two arrows pierced the mage but did not interrupt his incantation!

In an instant, the situation became extremely perilous.
