Chapter 857 - 857 79 Strongman's Style_4

857: Chapter 79, Strongman’s Style_4 857: Chapter 79, Strongman’s Style_4 During the conversation, Hudson had already taken the Divine Artifact.

Immediately after, he activated the Mysterious Compass, sealing the divine aura.

To the naked eye, it looked just like an ordinary Knight Sword.

No one could imagine that this unremarkable object was actually a Divine Artifact.

The dramatic change directly affected the battlefield below.

The group of expert Clergy members, previously engrossed in their killing spree, could no longer focus on pursuing the Pirates and instead circled towards Hudson.

Unfortunately, all their efforts were in vain.

Warned, Maxim had learned his lesson and had no intention of descending to engage the enemy in close combat; he simply played with Magic Attacks from the sky.

Apart from the seven Eighth-order Strongmen among the Clergy who could take to the air to fight, only a group of Magicians could still provide fire support.

Regrettably, even though they found Hudson, the main culprit, they could not keep track of the elusive bear.

Being deliberately small, Belsden, relying on his absolute strength advantage, did not entangle with the enemy at all but kept moving around the battlefield, ambushing the Magicians.

Following the unfortunate death of a Cardinal, several Seventh-order Magic Instructors also lost their lives, with even more Warlocks and Great Warlocks being taken away incidentally.

Realizing the Dragon Knight was just a distraction, the alert members of the Clergy immediately ceased their pursuit and shifted to guarding the Divine Artifact.

But they were eager to escape, which Maxim would not allow.

A slightly slower Eighth-order Holy Knight was directly hit by the dragon’s tail, and before he could recover, Hudson finished him off with a sword.

The Divine Artifact truly was extraordinary as it penetrated even the defenses of an Eighth-order Holy Knight with a single thrust.

In the blink of an eye, the well-trained members of the Clergy formed a formation.

An elderly man with white hair picked up a Magic Wand and chanted incessantly, with light elements gathering around him.

Knowing the power of the Divine Artifact, Hudson was not foolish enough to take the hit; he slapped Maxim’s buttocks and instantly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The cunning Belsden had already vanished without a trace.

This baffled the old man holding the Divine Artifact, as he had already prepared half of the forbidden spell only for the enemy to disappear.

Stopping was out of the question.

He was not a Sanctuary Powerhouse and could only invoke the forbidden spell with the help of the Divine Artifact.

With the magic already halfway through, it was beyond his control.

While hesitating, the roar of the Magic Crystal Cannon had already sounded, and the intense vibration almost caused the magic to fail.

Without further hesitation, the old man roared and directed the forbidden spell towards the fleeing Pirates.

“Bishop Josip has fallen, Knight Yelach, you now take charge.

What should we do now?”

The old man’s question furrowed Yelach’s brows.

Their losses had been heavy in the recent attack.

If it occurred a few more times, they wouldn’t need to return at all.

“There are only a few Dragon Knights on the Continent, and the one who just attacked us must have been Hudson.

Everyone knows who it was, and we can settle accounts with him in the future.

But for now, we must survive and leave this place!

The existence of the Divine Artifact has been revealed.

The continuous artillery overhead must be the Navy of the Alpha Kingdom.

From the sounds of it, they are probably destroying the ships we left outside.

We must move quickly now, ensuring at least one warship is preserved!”

No sooner had he spoken than a tragic cry came.

A Sixth-order Gold Knight on the periphery had his head severed from his body.

The distant roar of the dragon then rang again, with Dragon’s Language Magic sweeping over their heads.

Terrified, the group hastily joined forces to raise a Magic Shield, and the white-haired old man again picked up the Divine Artifact.

However, the ambush came swiftly, and they evacuated even faster.

“Hmph!”

“Is Hudson of assassin origins?”

“He only knows how to ambush from behind and won’t fight us directly, showing not the slightest dignity of a Strongman!” the white-haired old man bellowed.

Driving a Divine Artifact is not easy, especially under insufficient mastery; forcing it can exact a heavy toll.

Of course, taking up the Divine Artifact to chop people like Hudson did without using the power of the Artifact itself, that was an exception.
