Chapter 206: Chapter206-The Fall of the Divine Emissaries

The month-long major event finally concluded, and as expected, John and Qing led their respective factions to achieve the highest military merits.

In John's camp, the first half of the campaign relied heavily on Lily and Elaria's healing team, which amassed a significant amount of merit points.

Within just seven days, they surpassed 10,000 points, almost ten times more than the second place!

In the latter half, John discovered a new method to earn merits-using alchemy to create weapons and armor for the Everglow army.

John meticulously calculated that a Burn Mark Armor, which took about three minutes to craft, could earn him 100 merit points.

John could produce hundreds of such items daily, resulting in thousands of merit points each day.

On Qing's side, the approach was more straightforward and brutal.

Training troops, constructing fortresses, and other tasks were tightly contested by several merchant generals, but in the end, Qing managed a crucial overtake to secure the top position.

The rewards for this major event were unexpectedly two pieces of Demigod-tier equipment, which surprised John.

They received the Crown of the Goddess of Nature and the Staff of the Moon Goddess.

These items significantly boosted Elaria's capabilities. In exchange, Elaria gave the ring to Lily.

With their combat power greatly enhanced, John and his team began planning their counterattack against the Divine Emissaries.

According to Sara, the remaining three Divine Emissaries were currently gathered at the Snow Mountain Palace.

As soon as they were ready, they could launch their assault.

Before setting off, John and his team devised a meticulous plan.

Sara would distract the Order Emissary, John and Elaria would confront the Night Emissary, while Qing and Exiled Immortal would handle the Vengeance Emissary.

However, the snow mountain was an entirely new map, and none of them had ventured there before.

Moreover, the distance between Everglow City and the snow mountain was considerable.

The journey alone took nearly ten days.

Upon arriving at the snowy mountain, being a late-stage map, John and his team encountered numerous formidable monsters along the way. Creatures like the behemoths they had once faced in the Deep Forest were now common in the snowy mountains, with average levels hovering around 70, making them extremely powerful adversaries.

Despite their current strength, John and his team expended considerable effort to navigate through the dangers and reach the Snow Mountain Palace.

As Sara had described, the three remaining Divine Emissaries, led by the Night Emissary, were all present.

They were visibly surprised to see Sara and John's group arriving together. Initially, they thought Sara had paid a high price to bring John and his team here.

However, before the Night Emissary could even speak, the battle erupted.

According to their plan, John and Elaria took on the strongest, the Night Emissary.

It quickly became evident that had they recklessly charged up the mountain three months prior, they would have faced a tragic defeat.

Despite the absence of divine blessings, the Night Emissary's strength was leagues beyond War's.

John's current combat power had surpassed 35,000 points, marking him as the strongest and most formidable force.

However, even with this immense strength, John struggled against the Night Emissary's attacks.

Without Elaria's support, he would have likely been defeated within a hundred exchanges.

Unexpectedly, the turning point came from Sara.

Amidst the stalemate, where neither side could gain the upper hand, Sara suddenly erupted with power.

She not only managed to break through the Night Emissary's defenses but also succeeded in fatally wounding the Order Emissary, pinning her to the ground.

In an instant, everyone unleashed their most potent skills, overwhelming the Order Emissary with a torrent of attacks, ensuring her demise.

With the death of the Order Emissary, the Divine Emissaries' side faced an immense increase in pressure.

Sara rejoined the battle, assisting John and Elaria in their fight against the Night Emissary.

With Sara's sharp long-range support and primary offensive power, the Night Emissary was quickly forced into a disadvantage, retreating under the relentless assault.

Even at the end, when the Night Divine Emissary attempted to self-destruct her Authority, intending to take John down with her, Sara intercepted.

An arrow from her bow pierced the Night Divine Emissary's shoulder, pinning her to the wall and saving John from harm.

As for the remaining Vengeance Divine Emissary, with all her comrades fallen, she was quickly overwhelmed and slain.

Unfortunately, John was unable to capture the Authorities of the three Emissaries, and even their Demigod-tier equipment self-destructed, disappearing without a trace.

However, despite not gaining any new power, John felt a significant weight lifted off his shoulders with the elimination of such a formidable threat.

Now, only three apostles stood between him and his ultimate goals.

Before addressing the remaining apostles, John had to fulfill his promise to Sara.

He nullified the soul contract that bound her, restoring her freedom.

John couldn't deny that Sara's actions during the battle had shown genuine commitment, decisively turning the tide in their favor.

As for War Divine Emissary Windsor, John chose not to kill her, keeping her imprisoned in the Deep Forest where she was treated well, though Windsor herself did not appreciate it.

Once a high and mighty demigod, she now found herself powerless, unable to defend herself even against young elf maidens, a life of humiliation she couldn't accept.

To comfort her sister or perhaps out of her own weariness of living in constant fear, Sara made one final request to John before heading to the Deep Forest: she wanted her Authority removed.

Since Sara had voluntarily asked for this, John didn't refuse and extracted the Huntress Goddess's Authority, bestowing it upon Helena.

After all, Helena, having earned the recognition of the Godslayer Bow, was the ideal candidate to inherit the Huntress Goddess's Authority.

Anyone else would fall short in terms of compatibility.

With the Divine Emissary threat finally resolved, John and his companions split into two groups.

Qing, Helena, and Exiled Immortal stayed behind in the Snow Mountains to continue pushing forward with the main storyline, while John took the others back to Everglow City.

Although the large-scale event had ended, the main quest for Everglow City had yet to begin.

This time, John and his team had a significant advantage since the main quest in Everglow City was issued by Florence, Old Mac's daughter.

With this connection, they easily obtained the questline and spent nearly a month completing it, helping Florence collect hundreds of forging materials.

Their reward was a Demigod-tier armor.

Unfortunately, John found the armor impractical.

It hindered his ability to deploy his wings and affected his use of black flames.

Reluctantly, he gave the armor to Qing.

John genuinely admired the armor's sleek design, which resembled powered exoskeletons, unlike the bulkier traditional armors.

However, compatibility issues left him no choice.

On Qing's side, progress with the Snow Mountains' main quest was much slower.

Over a month had passed with no significant breakthroughs.

The main quest's objective in the Snow Mountains remained unclear, leading to further delays.

This meant that John had less than seven months left.

Time was running out, and John's combat power, though formidable, still fell short of the Demigod tier and was significantly behind the gods.

For instance, Divine Emissaries like Sara typically had a combat power around 40,000 points, qualifying them for the Demigod tier.

Though John was close, making further progress was challenging.

However, around this time, Deception, who had been missing for nearly half a year, suddenly reappeared, bringing with him some good news.

He had finally located the remaining three apostles' sealed locations in the Abyss and could help John obtain all their Authorities at once.

For John, this was an invaluable opportunity.
