Benjamin looked at the bishop in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little solemn.
The operation to capture Changhe Town went very smoothly just now. The king's performance was on point, and he almost walked into the city hall openly and captured the entire town. Unexpectedly, a bishop would appear halfway.
- He had scanned the town before, and the bishop was obviously not there.
Is it a trap? The church had long expected that they would attack Changhe Town, so it was waiting here for them to come in? But... if it was really a trap, I'm afraid this bishop wouldn't be the only one coming.
Benjamin was a little confused.
However, with the enemies right in front of him, he could only put these problems aside. Thinking on the bright side, there is only one bishop here, so it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with.
"I hope you people can stay calm and stop trying to provoke the king's dignity all day long." The elder bishop looked at Benjamin, the hatred in his eyes clearly revealed.
"It doesn't matter." Benjamin shook his head and said, "Since you dare to appear here, you should be ready to die, right?"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands expressionlessly.
Groups of ice mist suddenly emerged from under his robe and spread around.
"Are we going to... start a fight?"
In the streets below, all the people looked up at this scene and couldn't help but take a deep breath, wondering what kind of changes they would face next.
The young man who flew out of the crowd should be a mage, but... the old man who appeared with the mayor in his arms, was he the bishop of the state church, or was he from the church of the Kingdom of Horli, as rumored
People were a little confused and didn't know what to believe.
But deep down, they found that they seemed to vaguely hope that... that mage could win.
The soldiers led by the general clenched their fists unwillingly, wishing they had a bow and arrow on their back or a few guns on their waist, which could help in this situation.
Unfortunately, they didn't bring anything. Therefore, facing the battle in the air, they could only stand by and watch.
"This... Master Benjamin, you must not lose."
The king hid in the crowd and muttered nervously.
At this moment, the bishop in the sky just snorted. He threw the mayor in his hand casually into the crowd, causing a burst of exclamations, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Then, he stared at Benjamin and recited a spell.
The holy light quickly condensed in the dark night sky.
Surprisingly, Benjamin was the first to cast the spell, but it was the Bishop who was the first to attack.
Seven phantom crosses condensed by holy light appeared in the sky, seeming to form some strange formation, advancing towards Benjamin at an unhurried speed.
Benjamin raised his eyebrows.
He has never seen this trick before. However, when the seven crosses were pointed at him, he could clearly feel that the elemental activity around him had slowed down. The water vapor that carried him flying had to consume more mental energy to maintain it.
What magic is this
He didn't catch it hard, but dodged and flew to the side. At the same time, the ice mist scattered around formed a big hand and suddenly grabbed the bishop.
Seeing this, the bishop seemed to know that the Cross of Holy Light could not hit Benjamin. Therefore, it controlled them to turn around and aim at the big hand made of ice mist.
In the blink of an eye, the big hand collided with the strange cross formation.
Ding!
There was a strange crisp sound in the sky.
Benjamin frowned.
The moment the big hand made of ice mist came into contact with the Holy Light Cross, it suddenly stopped as if it had been restrained. The crosses suddenly began to tremble, and then, with a buzzing sound, they disappeared into the air together with Benjamin's ice-mist hand.
"The power of holy light can purify all evil in the world." The bishop spoke at this time, clasping his hands and saying with a pious look.
Benjamin curled his lips in disgust.
Even if you fight, you don’t forget to preach. How pious is it...
At that moment, he suddenly increased his speed and flew around the bishop in mid-air. Ice blades condensed around him and shot out towards the bishop - his idea was simple, the cross formation could only face one direction, so he would attack from all directions!
At this moment, Benjamin was like a spiral bomber, flying while bombarding the bishop with dense ice blades. The people below were also dazzled.
In response, the older bishop just tore off the cross hanging from his neck.
It was a silver metal cross with fine workmanship. It looked completely different from those life-saving crosses. The first round of ice blades was blocked by the life-saving cross on the bishop's body. Then, the bishop held the silver cross and recited an obscure incantation.
The silver cross suddenly began to glow, and a faint wave of magic power spread.
This is... advanced magic
A bad premonition came to Benjamin's mind.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the dark night sky, and a beam of light fell from the crack, landing right on top of Benjamin, who was flying at high speed. At that moment, it seemed as if a thousand pounds of weight were pressing on Benjamin. His body trembled and he was suddenly unable to move.
Benjamin tried to struggle, but he couldn't move at all. He couldn't even control the water vapor around him, and his face darkened.
He does know this trick.
Holy Light Chain is a very strange magical technique that can use the power of Holy Light to hit an enemy 100% and bind it. In the words of the church, it is using the will of God to forcibly imprison the sinners in this world.
But... after all, it is also a high-level magic! This thing takes several minutes just to chant. How could the bishop release it instantly
Benjamin's eyes could only fall on the silver cross.
"Ignorant people, have you seen this? This is the power of the Holy Light." The bishop spoke at this moment and said to the crowd below, "No matter how evil the mage is, he can only surrender to the will of God."
People looked at the beam of light in the sky and couldn't help but hold their breath.
This...is this a loss
"Hey, do you think you've won? How can a fight be so leisurely?" However, a voice suddenly came from behind the bishop.
People were stunned for a moment, then looked into the light pillar, only to find that the people in the light pillar had long since disappeared.
Benjamin appeared behind the bishop at this moment, and the distance between the two was extremely close. His hand gently patted the bishop's shoulder, and the tip of his nose could even touch the back of the bishop's head.
In his hand, a dagger without any magic power was pressed against the bishop's back.
—Using the state of nothingness to escape from bondage is just a piece of cake.
The bishop's expression did not change at all.
"Sure enough..."
Just when Benjamin was about to use the dagger in his hand to completely resolve the battle, the bishop used his right hand to crush the life-saving cross that had been hidden in his palm. In an instant, the Holy Light Shield opened and bounced Benjamin away from him.
At the same time, seven more crosses of holy light emerged from the air at some point, slowly forming the original formation, aiming at Benjamin, who happened to be bounced away at this moment.
The bishop turned his head and gave a sneer.
"You've attacked us so many times. Do you really think I'm defenseless?"
