Chapter 946: Force

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

The power of the A-virus was strong to begin with. Afterwards, the 'Stairway of the Sun' had even absorbed the mysterious extraterrestrial meteor and gobbled up Treebeard's Golden Fruits in the world of the Lord of the Rings, providing it with an enormous amount of energy and allowing it to separate into an animal form and a plant form. Finally, after the breakthrough challenge battle in this world, it also devoured one of its own kind. It had matured into a rather formidable stage by now.

Therefore, although Sheyan's 'Pestilence Monarch' was naturally weak against holy divine power, the divine power could only restrain 'Pestilence Monarch' to some extent, and was not completely immune to it!

Were priests and monks immune to sickness? At most, their chances of falling ill were smaller, and their conditions less severe. Therefore, Sheyan successfully spread his pneumonia to the Cardinal. The symptoms flared up immediately!

The first symptom that surfaced was severe coughing and expectoration. Sheyan's disease could be said to be quite strong so the negative effects were also very severe!

The Cardinal's brows furrowed because he could immediately feel the unbearable itch and pain in his throat, trachea, and lungs. A lump of thick, sticky phlegm was stuck in his throat, blocking his breathing, and he was forced to cough it out! Currently, in Sheyan's vision, the Cardinal was surrounded by a holy light, but there was a mass of black air around his respiratory tract.

As soon as the Cardinal became aware that something was amiss, he immediately directed the holy glow around his body towards the areas where the disease attacked. The black air signifying the disease was almost instantly overwhelmed by the light. However, Sheyan knew very well that with the Cardinal's current strength, while he could perhaps alleviate the symptoms of the disease, it was impossible for him to cure it!

Sure enough, the Cardinal soon frowned and lightly coughed twice. The phlegm that was made by germs was corroded by the holy power. Although the strong holy power had held the upper hand from the very beginning, Sheyan and Aziz still found an opportunity.

Aziz was a formidable guy. Even when the situation presented no chances, he would create one himself. When the Cardinal coughed, he naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip. He raised his rifle with one hand and fired a shot. The glow around the bullet that shot out kept fluctuating and in the end the bullet was set ablaze.

When the Cardinal recovered from the cough, the bullet was only five meters in front of him. It was impossible for him to avoid it!

However, the Cardinal simply raised his hand and placed his palm in the bullet's path, then tightened his fist!

On the fist, the holy light glowed so brilliantly that the radiance almost blinded Sheyan's eyes! The bullet that was trapped in the Cardinal's fist could not penetrate through his palm at all. A dull explosion sounded. A few jets of black smoke mixed with flame gushed out from the gaps between his fingers, each of them half a meter long! It was obvious that Aziz's shot was very powerful, but not as powerful as this monster called the Cardinal!

He caught a bullet with his bare hand!

"Heathens....who spread diseases....." the Cardinal did not look at Aziz who injured him, but instead stared at Sheyan. His words were spoken in a plain voice devoid of any emotion, containing only coldness. They felt like a sub-zero cold wind which blew through the barren Siberian wilderness, freezing the minds of people who heard them!

Even Sheyan, who had never been afraid of anything, felt a chill creeping up his spine when he heard the Cardinal's judgement. Those who were judged to be heathens, no matter how famous or important they were, had never had a good ending! Only one thing awaited them, and that was inhumane torture. And after the torture, they would be burned to death! ! ! !

The Inquisition's execution by fire of was definitely not as simple as being burned to death. Instead, the heathen would be tied to an ox cart and covered with rosin, then paraded around!

All of a sudden, the Cardinal raised his right hand loftily. In his hand rose a white ball of light. The ball of light didn't look very impressive and was even a little yellowish and dim.

The only thing special about it was that the ball of light would beat like a heart! Furthermore, its rhythm could actually affect the heartbeats of others, forcing their hearts to beat with the same rhythm!

Aziz fired three consecutive shots, but all of them were blocked by the Cardinal's other hand! The Cardinal nonchalantly threw the three flat and deformed bullets onto the ground.

However, Sheyan also noticed that when the Cardinal was accumulating energy into the ball of light, some black air had seeped into the main blood vessels all over his body. This was the special effect of Sheyan's disease : high fever! It forced the enemy's MP consumption to double when the enemy tried to use any ability!

Anyone who dared to attack him must pay the price!

The priest robe made from flesh on the Cardinal's body soared as his eyes flashed an icy glint:

"Cleanse those terrible sins of yours with your flesh! Go, my servant!"

As the Cardinal's words ended, the ball of light on his palm floated towards Sheyan and Aziz. Aziz wasn't someone who was easily scared; he fired a few shots at the ball of light in quick succession without any thought of defending himself. However, all the bullets merely penetrated through the ball of light and hit the meat wall at the back.

The ball of light sped up with every attack it took, reaching Aziz almost instantly! Aziz's pupils contracted when he saw this. He continuous tumbled to dodge the ball. Aziz's dodging technique was honed through blood and fire, he should have easily been able to avoid the ball of light, but the ball of light instantaneously accelerated and attached itself to Aziz's body in the blink of an eye!

The moment the ball touched him, Aziz issued a blood-curdling scream. How horrible did an attack have to be to make someone as cold as Aziz lose his composure like this? A series of exploding sounds came from Aziz's body, followed by a scorching smell. What surprised Sheyan the most was the fact that Aziz was sent into a state of near death in no time at all!!!

"How could this be?" Sheyan wasn't surprised that the enemy's firepower was so strong that Aziz sent to a state of near death.... After all, Aziz wasn't Zeus. There's nothing strange with him being fragile.

What really surprised Sheyan was the fact that Aziz entered a state of near death!

It must be known that only in a battle between contestants would there be 40% weakening in damage and the protection of the state of near death! Unless a contestant had an ability like Sheyan and Reef's 'Life-link', they would usually not enjoy the protection of the state of near death when they were attacked by storyline characters!

That could only mean that the Cardinal, who appeared as if he was going to take over the world, was actually a contestant! Who exactly was he???? Right now, Sheyan only knew that above the Growth Hunters were the Awakeners. Growth Hunters were similar to a crude steel ingot, while Awakeners were like steels that had started to undergo further processing and shaping.

For example, if a steel ingot was suitable to become a knife, then becoming an Awakener was like being formed into a blade. If a steel ingot was suitable to become a hammer, then becoming an Awakener was like being shaped into a steel block. If a steel ingot was suitable to become a gun, then after becoming an Awakener, it would at least take the shape of an elongated rod....

So was this Cardinal in front of him an existence which surpassed Awakeners? But he looked like a swindler and a bit like a storyline character too. However, Sheyan thought about Reef who's also like that.

So what if his realm went against the rules and gave the two of them a Golden Side Mission? The other realms weren't just gonna sit back.

Sheyan was sure that this strange, huge underground female reproductive system was definitely not something a single realm had the power to produce, which meant that....it might be something that multiple realms produced together by combining their intruders quota!

They gave up the opportunity to send more people into this world in order to arrange a terrifying situation where people with overwhelming strength could come to this world! They wanted to make sure both Sheyan and Aziz die!

Sheyan is a man and not a God, but his speculation and grasp of the situation was at least 70% right. Strictly speaking, the Scarlet-Robed Cardinal standing in front of them right now was only a clone. Yes, he was similar to the clone which Sheyan fought in the breakthrough challenge, so his personality was a bit weird. He was something in between a contestant and a storyline character, but his strength was not diminished at all!

When Sheyan saw Aziz enter a state of near death, he immediately rushed forward, since the two of them were on the same boat at the moment. He slammed his shoulder into the ball of light and sent it flying from Aziz's body to prevent Aziz from dying here.

As soon as Sheyan came into contact with the strange ball of light, his whole body shook. He immediately understood why Aziz reacted the way he did!
