Chapter 863

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Leon’s sword looked similar to the one he had used in his first attack previously, but they were actually vastly different. When he had first started fighting with the dragon, the dragon’s powers were that of the mid-legendary level. If it had not been immortal, Clito and Asner as a duo could have easily slain it. However, now, the dragon was already at the demigod level. Even if it was at the weakest demigod level, a demigod was still a demigod and higher than that of legendary levels. Just as how those of the advanced level had to group together to fight legendary-level individuals, legendary-level individuals also had to work together if they wanted to defeat a demigod. This was the reason why the Legendary Masters had worked together to attack the dragon, and they still had some difficulty then. If Leon was not present with Sui Xiong’s artifacts, they would have perished long ago.

Now, Leon had apparently used a single attack to completely suppress the dragon and fully damage it!

Did this not hint that Leon somewhat possessed skills at the demigod level that were of higher levels as well?

“That’s… that’s impossible!”

“How could this be? He wasn’t this strong just a moment ago…”

“My goodness…”

Watching this, the Legendary Masters all let out exclamations of shock, and there was the general sentiment that they had wasted the last few thousand years of their lives being inferior! After all, if Leon could be so powerful at some a young age, there was no excuse for them as elders.

They all had the assumed idea that Leon had suddenly crossed into the Demigod Realm and had secured his position there due to Church of Void Mask’s strength, and that he had then utilized his new strength as a demigod. As to why he had suddenly been able to become a demigod, they assumed that it was not because Leon was too strong but rather because the dragon had become too weak.

After all, such a vast magic array with Positive Energy was unheard of before. The waves of Positive Energy flowed like strong sea waves, and this was even rarer. The dragon was clearly made up of evil and chaos. In such an array, its powers would definitely be heavily damaged, and it was not impossible for a master in the Demigod Realm to slay it with one strong blow of the sword.

However, in the sky, Sui Xiong and Wenner could see clearly that when Leon had waved his sword, the shadow near his soul had become two shades clearer.

“The God of Eagle is now one step closer to resurrecting. If you want to stop it, it’s about time you took action,” Wenner cautioned in a low voice. Sui Xiong nodded and was about to do so before a sudden thought occurred to him, making his pause in his tracks.

The resurrection of the God of Eagle required three things at once: a carrier, energy and opportunity. The carrier was of course a demigod that possessed his blood, and this was Leon Igor. The energy came from the faith by disciples and the opportune timing was the moment of Leon crossing to the Demigod Realm. Currently, Leon was only using the God of Eagle’s powers to achieve the abilities of a demigod, but he had not actually reached the demigod level physically yet. That opportunity had not presented itself yet. In other words, Sui Xiong could afford to wait a while more.

From a safety angle, it would definitely be wise to take action now to get rid of the traces of the God of Eagle in Leon’s blood and soul. However, if Sui Xiong did so, Leon would not be able to actually become a demigod. After all, this process required not just ability but opportune timing. If Leon missed this chance, he would probably have to wait a long time for the next chance. Sui Xiong thus reconsidered his choices and eventually decided to wait a little longer. He would take action against the God of Eagle after Leon had executed the most important step. For this, he needed to make such preparations first to make sure that everything went smoothly.

Sui Xiong smiled slightly, and his clone that was exploring Eagle Wing City suddenly disappeared. No, actually, it became invisible and changed into a shroud in the air above the city. This shroud of mist was extremely thin till it was invisible to the naked eye, especially if one was unobservant. It could not block sunlight and could not block the wind and clouds either. The only use of it was to prevent communication between Church of the God of Eagle within Eagle Wing City with the outer world.

After the shroud of mist had been up for a while, the clergymen within Church of the God of Eagle all had shocked and anxious expressions on their face. Originally, with the renewed hype about the God of Eagle’s resurrection, they had been able to gather their lost faith and transform it into Divine Power at their altar. However, this had suddenly disappeared.

Their altar did not possess the power to store the power of beliefs and could only store a little Divine Power. With the cut-off in communication with the source of faith, this Divine Power became a scarce resource that was slowly depleted.

For those who could work in the church, they were all extremely faithful to the God of Eagle, and their faith would not waver simply due to the loss of their Divine Powers. However, while they were devoted, they could not say the same about the outer disciplines outside of the church. No matter what, the God of Eagle was still a fallen god and he was unable to provide the most important thing to his disciples: a final destination for their souls to rest. Without this benefit, to expect the outer disciples to be fully devoted to the God of Eagle was rather difficult. In this case where Divine Powers were cut, the Archbishop of Church of the God of Eagle’s first reaction was that there was probably someone who had tarnished the reputation of their god and convinced the people so.

He then dismissed this thought as no matter how easy it was to convince people of new thoughts; it was rather impossible that someone had converted thousands of disciples in one go. If someone really had such an ability, he definitely would be a strong god or someone that they could not mess with.

The Archbishop was a decisive man and he seldom hesitated in stressful situations. He immediately came up with a plan, gathered a few stronger Sacred Warriors and sent them to investigate the situation. These Sacred Warriors were all devoted disciples of the God of Eagle as well and they immediately set out on their mission, roaming the streets anxiously.

However, once they had reached the main gates of the city, they somehow bumped into a solid yet invisible wall and were extremely puzzled. Watching the Sacred Warriors push against the “wall painting” that was floating in the air, Sui Xiong couldn’t help but laugh as it looked rather silly. His plan to segregate Church of the God of Eagle did not only cut off Divine Powers but was also physical in nature. Now, the church was completely sealed off; not only were those on the outside not able to enter, those who were inside also could not leave.

Sui Xiong had done so naturally to fully cut off the source of the God of Eagle’s faith. As a god who had fallen earlier on, the God of Eagle could not directly gain his energy and power from people’s faith. Now, he needed to gather faith through the church’s alar and use magical objects to convert the faith to Divine Powers for use.

Now, without a Divine Power source, the God of Eagle was helpless even with tricks up his sleeve. He would not be able to execute any plans that he had previously prepared.

Sui Xiong smiled, and his eyes shone with satisfaction. This was the idea of solving from the root of the issue. As long as the God of Eagle lost his Divine Powers, even if he wanted to resurrect, he would not have enough energy to do so.
