Chapter 669: Chapter 528 Silver Lamp

The sound of the gun did not affect the festivity in the camp whatsoever; the believers were even more frenetic, their insane laughter seemed as if even the darkness did not dare step within half a pace.

"Is he dead?"

In a corner of the hospital building, Sally used the moisture in the air to form a mirror in the sky to observe the situation in the highest-level office.

She knew how much the Tactile Sect valued this purge—not only had they dispatched her, a guard of The Gods of Four Pillars, but for the sake of speed, the Tactile Sect even expended the last quota of the Space Gate to transport her instantly from the Ya Sha Jin Zone to the Tribulation Zone.

Because of this, even though the target was already torn apart, Sally did not relax in the slightest. According to the Tactile Sect, the target should only be a Two-winged Mage, with a small chance of being a Holy Sanctuary Mage. But whether holy or not, the target could not possibly withstand her shot—the combination of the Destruction Sniper Rifle and the Sanctum-piercing gun bullet was lethal.

Now in the Land of Senluo, the number of Gun Masters was pitifully small, because the guns from the Gray Fox Era all had identity verification features, plus post-apocalyptic all factory lines were directly dismantled, so the factions at best could produce very poorly made Bird Guns, which were less efficient than using bows and arrows.

On the other hand, the Gun Masters active on the Land of Senluo were without exception, terrifying to the extreme, as they all stumbled upon guns from the Gray Fox by chance, which allowed them to embark on the path of magic.

Sally used to be a mage of the Destruction Mist Sect, following the Dust Tribulation Fire Technique. Her coming of age ritual involved touching the cherished guns of the Gray Fox stored within the sect, allowing a very low probability to pass the Gray Fox’s identity verification—she was the only one in the last ten years.

As she rose to prominence, the Destruction Mist Sect also expanded their influence until the Dust Tribulation Fire Technique completely dissipate, and she, along with the Destruction Sniper Rifle, then followed the Tactile Sect.

The power of the Destruction Sniper rifle was unquestionable. Even without any Technique Spirit enhancement, its tremendous kinetic energy could penetrate any building within 1000 meters. Paired with the Sanctum-piercing gun bullet Sally used, which were custom-made bullets for the rifle, they would release a spatial turbulence upon encountering a Holy Domain, tearing it apart. She only had three left.

Even though she was just a Two-winged Gun Master, she had already used this equipment to assassinate three Holy Sanctuary Mages.

In Senluo, the most dangerous mages were not the holy ones, not even the Legendary, but the Inheritance Mages—the mages who inherited the legacy of the Divine Era!

Through the "Refraction Prism," Sally saw the other two assassins had entered the office. They were not believers from the Tribulation Zone but were Main Priests from the Light Rotation Zone and the Ice-breaking Zone, both Holy Sanctuary Mages—to purge a rebel who might not even be of the Holy Domain, the Tactile Sect dispatched no less than three Holy Sanctuary combatants.

"O great Mercury Wooden Horse," Sally murmured. "The good follow you, the wicked admire you..."

Meanwhile, in the highest-level office of the hospital, two Main Priests stealthily approached the headless corpse.

Both were enveloped in their Holy Domains, holding their respective weapons, ready for the chance that the target might feign death.

They could not help but be tense; even within the Four Pillars God Sect, the target was a top-tier warrior. The vast majority of believers capable of the Host God Technique would never surrender, preferring instead to fight the Four Pillars God Sect to the death, rather than drowning in their ideals. And not only could the target use the Host God Technique, but also several Great Skills, even receiving the Blessing of The Gods of Four Pillars—a treatment not even the Tactile Sect received.

No matter how weak her real body was, she could perform the Tribulation Fire Technique, and her combat power was on par with that of a Legendary Mage. How could the two Main Priests possibly let their guard down?

Not only were they attentive to the corpse, they were also closely monitoring the movements of the Great Skills. However, it seemed that the Great Skills did not care about the death of their host. The small Flame White Tiger leapt onto the desk and paced back and forth, while the rabbit, lizard, and snake watched quietly, as if to say, "Make yourselves at home, don’t be shy."

The Main Priests breathed a sigh of relief, for their target was adept at commanding Great Skills, and they had been worried that the Great Skills would seek revenge to protect their master. Unlike Technique Spirits, which could easily be crushed, Great Skills would not dissipate until their essence was completely drained. However, even the most powerful Great Skills needed a Host God ritual to unleash their full might. As long as the target was dead, at most, the Great Skills would only be able to trample milk.

When they closed the distance with their target to within three steps, they struck simultaneously. The force of their punches and the moonlight obliterated the target along with the chair into powder!

Amidst the burst of blood droplets, they saw four cards falling down, unbelievably intact. They looked carefully at the content of the cards, then glanced at each other instinctively.

Gray Fox Era shopping cards from the Dragon Gate Array!

With these shopping cards, one could obtain the inheritance of the Gray Fox by finding his store!

But they quickly realized another problem—Sniper Sally must have also seen this scene. Their devotion to the Four Pillars God pushed aside the fleeting greed, and they immediately abandoned their weak desires, carefully examining other items inside the desk while standing in the pool of blood.

"Speaking of which, what’s her name?" The Main Priest of Refraction suddenly realized this issue. "She’s the Main Priest of the Tribulation Fire District, yet I’ve never heard her name..."

Ice-breaking Main Priest: "She doesn’t have a name."

"She doesn’t have a name?"

"Indeed. She was once the Tribulation Fire Holy Daughter, and after emerging from the Silent Spiral, she grasped a Miracle that obscured her own name, enabling her to avoid the majority of Reconnaissance Miracles. Furthermore, she has never adopted any alias, nor does she respond to any title that others might call her. She is the epitome of The Nameless."

"How do you know so much about her?"

"My former Sect was hostile to the Holy Temple of Tribulation Fire. When she appeared as the Holy Daughter, I attempted to assassinate her several times, yet she always evaded me for various reasons. In battle, she never left any survivors, always ambushing our troops. Our Sect’s living forces were gradually eliminated by her, and eventually, the Holy Temple of Tribulation Fire launched an offensive against us, and with the Great Skills dissipating, our Sect was extinguished." The Ice-breaking Main Priest said, "That’s when the Four Pillars God Sect took me in. I held a grudge and advised the Tactile Sect, hoping that one day the Holy Temple of Tribulation Fire would be overthrown, yet..."

The Main Priest of Refraction understood his complex emotions: The Holy Temple of Tribulation Fire did indeed fall, but it had nothing to do with him. The enemy who had caused him countless troubles had become his colleague and was far more powerful than him, and even the favors of the Four Pillars God were more pronounced for her.

That’s probably the reason for joining the Tactile Sect... The Main Priest of Refraction continued to inquire, "Then you must have had some kind of nickname for her, right? Did you typically refer to her as ’that person,’ ’that woman,’ or just ’her’?"

The Ice-breaking Main Priest nodded, "Pretty much. Because she used to follow the Dust Tribulation Fire Technique, we referred to her as ’The Holy Daughter of Dust Tribulation Fire.’ After she joined the Four Pillars God Sect, the Holy Temple of Tribulation Fire took away her surname, so we called her the Silver Lamp Holy Daughter."

"The Silver Lamp Holy Daughter?"

"The Saint Heir in the Tribulation Fire Holy Temple is known as the Gold Lamp, and the Holy Daughter is known as the Silver Lamp. However, there are several Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters of tribulation, and this name is not exclusive to her," the Ice-breaking Main Priest paused then suddenly smiled, "But now all the Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters of tribulation have been slaughtered by her, and she is the only Silver Lamp Holy Daughter—and she is also about to meet with those companions she betrayed in the Void Realm."

Whoosh.

The two Main Priests suddenly felt a chill on their backs, a coldness piercing their bodies. They looked down to see blue flames tearing through their chests, blood freezing into blood ice, the icy flames spreading through their veins to their limbs and bones, their eyes even beginning to frost over!

It was too late to activate the Holy Sanctuary now, for the Holy Sanctuary couldn’t protect the inside of their bodies!

But how could this be? They had clearly torn the target to pieces themselves, unless it was the Time Faction Legendary Miracle "Local Time Reversal" or the Weak Faction legend "Blood Rebirth," there was no way one could resurrect from being turned into a pool of blood—

Blood foam?

They were momentarily confused, realizing the floor and office desk were as clean as new, without any trace of blood or flesh. But how could that be, where did the stuff from her head exploding go? The blood from her being ripped apart - where was it?

They blinked, only to notice what they thought was blood was actually wood grain, shadows, and patterns on the tile floor. Why did they have such an illusion?

"I’m not very fond of the title Holy Daughter, if you must address me," her voice was somewhat distorted, "you can call me Silver Lamp."

"Forget it, you might as well forget this name, I don’t want my information to appear in your Mage’s Handbook."

The two Main Priests struggled to turn their heads, only to see the figure made of blue flames stretching out a hand toward them.

...

...

Dust Tribulation Fire Technique!

Sally’s heart sank. Using the ’Refraction Prism,’ she saw a cluster of blue flames suddenly appear on the floor, instantly piercing through the backs of the two Main Priests, not giving them enough time to activate their Holy Sanctuary!

The blue flames were undoubtedly from the Dust Tribulation Fire Technique. When had the target become a host for the Dust Tribulation Fire Technique? And the Dust Tribulation Fire Technique couldn’t allow a person whose head had exploded to live, could it?

Wait, Sally suddenly remembered she had seen the Dust Tribulation Fire Technique!

That blue-flame squirrel!

But the blue-flame squirrel was clearly somewhere else in the office and had not hosted the target, what on earth was going on—

Sally froze suddenly.

She carefully observed through the ’Refraction Prism’ and confirmed the office only contained the Flame White Tiger, the rabbit, the lizard, the snake. The squirrel that was there just a moment ago was now nowhere to be seen.

People can’t live after their heads are blown off; their souls quickly sink into Hell...

Ordinary Mages can’t perform Blood Rebirth, but for Great Skills, as long as the origin isn’t completely depleted, they can recover instantly...

At this moment, Sally felt the sniper bird gun in her hand suddenly become heavier.

She looked down to see a squirrel pressing down on her gun muzzle.

In a daze, she saw the squirrel transform into a strange girl with glasses she had never met before, completely different from any description in the files, but Sally knew—this was her assassination target, The Nameless... or rather, by the name she had just chosen for herself, Silver Lamp!

Silver Lamp deflected the gun muzzle with her right hand and tightened her grip on Sally’s throat with her left hand, her gaze serene as a lake.

Sally finally understood the secret of this magic, "You turn Great Skills... into avatars?!"

"Don’t panic," Silver Lamp said indifferently, "Compared to the peace of the Void Realm, reality is just a moment of pain. When you return to eternity, you’ll realize everything was an illusion."

Struggling against her grip, Sally managed to squeeze out a few words from her throat, "Mercury Wooden Horse..."

"Actually, I’ve been considering whether to leave the Four Pillars God Sect, thank you Tactile Sect for helping me make up my mind."

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud boom came from the night sky, and Silver Lamp turned her head to see many pieces of rock being blasted from the outer wall of the hospital.

Although it was hard to see clearly in the night, she remembered that position seemed to be... the cell holding those Otherworld travelers.
