Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 172 Peaceful years
In the northern district of Backlund, Arianna, wearing simple long-distance running clothes and barefoot, calmly gazed at the Sodrak Palace in the distance.

The royal angels divided the Sodrak Palace into different 'locations', which made it impossible for even her to fully see the battle taking place in the palace. For example, she couldn't see what was happening in the main hall where George III was.

But that had nothing to do with her. She just needed to keep an eye on the battle in the sky.

As long as the royal angels did not actively seek help, and as long as the dark stars did not move away from their positions, none of this would concern her.

At this moment, the sky there has been dyed a brilliant purple. From a distance, it looks like a gorgeous nebula descending on the earth, which looks quite beautiful. But under this beautiful environment, hidden is the terrifying and pollution that makes people feel palpitating.

Even if an ordinary person just takes a glance at it, his soul may be polluted by unknown factors.

But the next moment, the pervasive darkness spread rapidly like a tide, enveloping Backlund's sky as if it had no boundaries. The brilliant purple nebula was also shrouded and isolated by the darkness. Even if the residents of Backlund looked up, they could only see an endless, dark night, unable to perceive the danger hidden above that "dark night".

It was Archbishop St. Anthony who took action.

Although he was only a Sequence 3 Saint, and his strength was not enough to fight the Dark Stars directly, it was not a problem for him to simply resist and isolate the pollution they leaked.
-
Rumble!
Above the Sodrak Palace, Drink Augustus was already in a tough fight.

Every time the Dark Stars strike, they will summon a large nebula that covers the entire sky. However, this seemingly beautiful and gorgeous nebula not only hides deep pollution, but more importantly, this nebula will explode if touched, and even cause a series of explosions!
As early as when these star creatures first visited this world, the Beyonders used countless bloody examples to reveal a truth to future generations:
Never underestimate these starry creations, even if it’s just a casual attack from them!
Because even if they are Beyonders of the Warrior Path who are known for their strong physiques, or even if they are Sequence 2 Angels 'Glorias' who are best at frontal combat, if they are defenselessly placed in an entire 'Nebula', the consequences will be either death or injury!
Even if you survive by chance, you will suffer from the pollution of the starry sky.

Unless the gods intervene personally, the rest of their lives will be tortured by pollution, or even out of control!
The former Sequence 2 'Glory One' had the protection of the God of War and could easily remove the pollution in his body. But Derink couldn't do that. The Loen royal family did not have their own gods, and it was not easy to ask the gods of the three major Orthodox Churches to help. This was the price they had to pay as a royal family when they enjoyed the right to compete with the Orthodox Churches.

But fortunately, as a Sequence 2 angel of the Judge Path, Delink's extraordinary ability symbolizing balance is enough to suppress the starry sky aliens like Dark Stars! It is better to say that they are in the Order Sequence and are usually the natural enemies of the starry sky creations!
No matter how densely packed the meteorites and nebulae summoned by the dark stars were, as long as he isolated them in different 'locations', these seemingly terrifying pollution and attacks would never have any effect on him.

Drinker in the sky and the dark stars seemed to be not far apart, or even close at hand, but in fact they were separated into different 'spaces'.

As long as the dark stars cannot directly break the order of the space they are in, no matter how fierce their attacks are, they can only wreak havoc in their own "space" and cannot affect Drinker, who is close at hand but in another "space".

But if the dark stars were just like this, the battle wouldn't be so difficult!
boom!
A tremendous amount of energy suddenly emanated from the body of the dark stars, which looked extremely distorted. The brilliant purple light ball quickly enveloped it, and all the energy around it returned to the void space, from infinitely large to infinitely small, and finally disappeared out of thin air.

When it appeared again, it was already in the space where Delink was!

It appeared silently behind Drinker, and its two shriveled but extremely thick and ferocious arms were reaching towards Drinker's body!
Snapped!
The outstretched arms suddenly clasped together, as if to completely crush Drinker in between. While the arms were waving, a large area of ​​brilliant purple nebula was simultaneously summoned.

Rumble!
The continuous explosions left no doubt that once you were in it, death would be your only fate.

However, Drinker remained where he was.

At the moment when the dark stars disappeared, he divided the 'space' again, and found himself in another different 'position'.
-
In the main hall of Sodrak Palace, George III still sat on the throne.

It seemed that no matter what accident happened, it would not be able to move him at all, let alone make him come down from the throne.

In front of him were six hooded assassins. They wore uniform black armor, hoods and veils, and held black knives in their hands that were distorted in strange shapes but seemed ordinary.

From their appearance, they were much taller than ordinary people, even those of the Feysac people who claimed to be descendants of giants, but they were far from being as tall as giants. Their figures were slender and graceful, not as bloated and huge as giants, but gave people a different kind of beauty.

But just like their profession, they are elegant yet deadly enough.

George III looked down at the black knife assassins below, his eyes were extremely cold, but seemed to carry a trace of deep worry:

"What are they hesitating about?"

The moment they appeared, battle was inevitable.

George III knew very well that they were coming to kill him, and there was no way he would surrender and give up resistance.

He is a Sequence 1 angel, the strongest being under the true God!
No one can kill him unless the true God himself!
The only question is, what are they waiting for?
George III's eyes narrowed. No matter what they were waiting for, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him.

and so--

George III raised his right hand and pointed at the assassin in front of him.

Everything has rules and follows certain laws.

If the 'Judge' path mastered by the Loen royal family exists as a practitioner of order, then the Black Emperor path is a distortion of order!

As practitioners of order, the Extraordinaries of the Judge Path can formulate rules that are beneficial to them in an area based on the underlying rules. On the contrary, the Extraordinaries of the Black Emperor Path can also be order twisters, and are best at finding loopholes in order and rules, tampering with, adding or using existing rules to make them work for themselves!
In a sense, the two are diametrically opposed, yet not identical.

And George III is the culmination of both approaches!
This was not only because he switched from the Judge Path to the Black Emperor Path midway, but also because while he was a Sequence 1 'Prince of Order Killing' of the Black Emperor Path, he also held a magical item comparable to a Level 0 Sealed Object, a magical item made from the Beyonder characteristics of the Sequence 2 angel of the Judge Path, the 'Balancer'.

"Hiding is prohibited here."

A majestic voice solemnly announced that the rules of the entire main hall changed in an instant!
Very suddenly, a figure appeared silently in front of George III——

She was standing in the main hall, just behind the six female assassins, but George III was completely unaware of her presence! This meant that even if she sneaked around him or even stabbed him silently in the back, George III would not notice it at all. Such a threat was undoubtedly fatal to George III.

This was the teardrop that had quietly sneaked into the main hall. She had originally wanted to take action directly—

But she couldn't bear to destroy the scene of loving father and filial son, so she watched the play until now.

George III's expression remained stern as ever, and he once again raised his hand towards the black knife assassins, but this time, his brows wrinkled slightly - he couldn't lock onto multiple people at the same time.

But under the constraints of rules and order, all hidden things will be exposed.

Assassins who have lost their ability to 'hide' are nothing but a group of lambs to be slaughtered!

George III quickly regained his composure, it was just a little more troublesome to kill him.

Just in case, let's start with the most threatening one. George III looked at the last figure that appeared, stretched out his hand, and pronounced calmly:
"It is a capital crime to trespass into the palace."

The king clenched his hands, and the rules were distorted in an instant.

Under his empty grip, an invisible terrifying force was constantly approaching the target, the teardrop replica, leaving no doubt that she would be "squeezed" into a meat paste under this terrifying force, leaving no trace of her body!
when!
With a clear sound, the deep blue energy turned into a surging circular barrier at the end of the staff. At the same time, the rule power that was crowding in from all directions, as if to crush the teardrops of the replica body into a meat paste, also disappeared in an instant, as if nothing had happened.

【Kaliah Return】

[One of the magics of the Kalia royal family.

After being able to wave a staff, dispel magic and pray,

Then use the strength you endure to transform it into a floating shining sword.

Magic that belongs to the Andy Defense Academy of the Kalia Royal Family.

When did the moon and the stars go their separate ways? 】

The offset power of rules was eliminated into nothingness, but a number of transparent, floating shining swords, about a foot long, condensed in front of the replica teardrop, guarding her like loyal guards, forming a dense array composed of countless shining swords, like a large number of nets!
call out!call out!call out!
One after another, pale blue swords cut through the sky like meteors, their sharp edges revealed, shining with cold light, and shot towards the king on the throne as nimbly as swimming fish!

Snapped!
George III's eyes were cold, and there seemed to be a sharp blade unsheathed in them, captivating people's souls.

The next moment, the "rain of swords" that had originally turned into a sky full of sword lights that completely covered George III suddenly changed direction and shot towards the black knife assassins surrounding him!

He forcibly distorted the rules of this place and distorted the attack target of the brilliant sword.

A sky full of shining swords whizzed towards them, but the figures of the black knife assassins had long disappeared.

The shining swords fell like rain, and the sound of "dangdangdangdang" was endless, piercing the ground in an instant!
Although the extraordinary people of the Black Emperor and the Judge's Path were not as good at escaping as the Gou Sanjia, under the rules they made or distorted, as the only beneficiaries of the rules, even if they could not be said to be invincible at the time, they were at least invincible!
Unless the other party can completely ignore the rules.

Only God can do this.

The wind howled and George III looked forward.

The six assassins who were dodging the rain of swords just now had already come in front of him with black knives in hand - it was not a flash, but a speed that was used to the extreme, and it was difficult for ordinary people to catch sight of them!
George III snorted coldly.

Six black knife assassins came at the same time, the black knives in their hands flashed with the cold light of death, that was the weapon that once killed the Golden 'Godwin'!

George III still sat on the throne, without moving at all from beginning to end.

Amid the interlacing of cold rays, the assassins stabbed their colleagues and their sisters with their sharp blades!

Demigods of the Black Emperor sequence can distort the rules and cause attacks that should have hit to deviate.

The 'Prince of Order' can go one step further. He can freely control the direction and target of all attacks within the range.

No matter who they want to attack, their ultimate target can only be each other!

In the sharp black knife of Bilou, the power of destined death flashed with the light of death. Anyone who was stabbed would die.

Dang Dang!

The sharp blades crossed each other, and the black knives were knocked away from each other and deviated from their trajectories.

George III was not surprised at all and waved his hand gently.

The figures of the black knife assassins disappeared one after another, as if they had never existed! But in fact, their figures had not moved from beginning to end. It was just that the power of the rules pulled the distance between them and George III to infinity, making it impossible for them to really get close to George III.

hum!
The blade in the hand of the only surviving black knife assassin made a sharp buzzing sound, and the destined death broke the rules at that moment!

The figure that was about to disappear solidified again, and she stabbed George III with the blade in her hand without any hesitation.

However, in an instant, the rules changed again:

She was clearly swinging the blade towards George III, but the edge of the blade stayed in front of George III, even though the two were very close!
They belong to different spaces, a world apart yet yet close at hand, and they can never hurt George III.

The power of the black knife can break the shackles of rules, but before the black knife buzzes again.

The assassin's figure faded and disappeared in the main hall.

In the end, there were only three people left on the field.

George III's expression remained indifferent. In fact, he could have killed those assassins.

But there wasn't enough time.

He could only solve the main problem first and then deal with the rats in the gutter one by one.

Below the throne, the teardrop-like figure watched all this quietly and understood something.

She has figured out the rules.
