Chapter 655: The Saint’s Here

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

While Lu Shu analyzed the situation on the battlefield, he pondered over the best escape route available. A head-on confrontation with Francesco should be avoided if possible, as most likely he was equipped with unknown trump cards just like Howard.

Howard’s defeat was relatively easy because of Lu Shu’s suppression of his fire-type power. However, Lu Shu was not confident at all on whether he could survive a fight with Francesco...

Just a few minutes earlier, Lu Shu was still dissatisfied with the rate at which his character had been destroyed. After all, it was very disruptive for his performances, even though he had always purposely revealed himself to achieve some other objective. Nonetheless, Lu Shu was unhappy with his own acting skills...

But at this moment, he had no choice but to maintain Howard’s identity, which would land him in trouble. Lu Shu felt distressed. He had finally met his karma with the constant change of his identity.

Speaking of which, what on earth was the Department of Faith Theory up to? Did they not have any concerns for attacking such an important person of the Phoenix Society?

Moreover, if it were really Howard, not Lu Shu, who would be killed next, the Department of Faith Theory would have been the greatest suspect. In addition, those present who were not from the Department could probably let the cat out of the bag anytime.

There were no secrets in this world. More often than not, people who confided in others about their personal secrets would probably end up regretting their naivety...

There was another possibility, that the Department of Faith Theory was not afraid of the Saint because they had even stronger support.

Lu Shu suddenly pointed towards the sky, which was immediately interpreted as a move to summon his fiery phoenixes. However... nothing happened.

At this instant, Lu Shu turned and darted towards one direction, in which the energy waves were detected to be the weakest!

Without any hope of a peaceful treatment, he could only run for his life!

Honestly speaking, Lu Shu blamed this on Howard. It must be because of something he did that pissed off the Department of Faith Theory...

Nonetheless, it seemed that the rest had predicted Lu Shu’s escape route. The five-man formation was set in motion immediately with Lu Shu’s movement.

Only then did Lu Shu finally realize how terrifying five Class B’s were when they joined forces on a killing mission. The pressure he was under was even greater than the time he faced Takashima Tairatsu.

The two metal-type Metahumans were surrounded by numerous sharp weapons made of special metals, ready to fire them as missiles anytime. Lu Shu could even sense something more exceptional in the hundreds of metallic blades, the energy waves inside were extremely powerful!

It would not be an exaggeration if those metal-type experts claimed to be flying dagger users... Yet, the main difference was that their main advantage lay in the quantity of their weapons, and each metal piece were far less fatal than a flying dagger.

Tree branches swayed hard under the energy waves. Leaves fell down, but were shattered by invisible forces before they touched the ground.

Lu Shu felt stressed being forced into this situation, in which Francesco seemed to have complete dominance. He paced forward slowly, as his white cloak flapped in the air.

It was getting dark, but there was a holy glow surrounding Francesco.

With every step he took, Lu Shu’s heart shuddered in the force field formed by him and the five Class B’s. Francesco said composedly as he made his unhurried approach, “Did I not tell you before? You should be strong, fearless and calm, because wherever you go, God will be with you.”

His voice felt like shackles and chains. Suddenly Lu Shu saw a similar glow around himself, just like the one around Francesco. However, he could feel a suffocating force from the glow!

At that instant, Lu Shu realized the fighting techniques that the Department of Faith Theory used in the past, never focused on exceptional individual strength. Instead, their specialty had always been in group battles. They had their own army.

Hence, they probably had fatal strategies to kill their enemies together, provided that their inherited trade was complete.

The silver glow around Lu Shu increased in brightness as time trickled by. He might be completely immobilized anytime soon!

There existed an analysis on the Phoenix Society and the Department of Faith Theory. The Phoenix Society were characterized by a few aggressive members, including the Saint and Howard, and they focused on sudden increases in personal strength. However, the Department of Faith Theory were different, as they liked to weaken their enemies via restrictive means.

Hence, it was believed that the Saint dared to face the Puppet Master while the bishop of the Department had chosen to avoid the conflict because the Department had many unpredictable fighting techniques, and so did the Puppet Master.

Therefore, being more conservative, the bishop did not view it worth his time to fight unprepared.

Suddenly, Lu Shu felt an extremely strong energy from the sky. It exploded outwards with a loud bang. In utter astonishment, everyone looked up to see two figures clashing in the sky. The immense power that radiated from them distorted the surrounding space. From afar, it looked like a collision of two light balls.

Lu Shu was stunned. Apparently the two of them were not Class A’s from the Heavenly Network, because he knew Chen Baili’s and Nie Ting’s fighting styles. Their identity was clear, since they were not Li Xianyi nor the Puppet Master neither...

Chen Baili, Nie Ting, Li Xianyi, the bishop of the Department of Faith Theory, the Saint, and the two Puppet Masters; they represented the strongest forces currently on the Earth. They were like the legendary great masters, standing on the highest peak of the cultivation realm.

Using the exclusion technique, the two men in the sky could only be the Saint and the bishop!

It was totally unexpected that these two Class A’s would have come to this continent by themselves. No one even knew why they had come. When they met in the sky, the Saint initiated the attack.

It was said that the Saint was a bellicose man. He had picked a fight with the Puppet Master in the South American remains.

There were even posts on the Golden Foundation saying that the Saint wanted to defeat all experts and emerge as the sole overlord of this world.

But Lu Shu did not quite agree. The Saint would have fought with Nie Ting and Li Xianyi if he was really that powerful and confident... Certainly, though, Lu Shu would keep it to himself because none of the Class B’s in their right mind would want to cause themselves trouble by annoying Class A’s.

From the sky, the Saint looked down at Lu Shu, his voice was as cold as the undercurrents in the deep ocean. “Go.”

Overjoyed, Lu Shu ran off at once. You see, the Phoenix Society was a very reliable organization, for its leader had traveled such a long distance just to save him! Wonderful!
