Chapter 749: Level 14! (3)
"The Flower Knight… is already a person from hundreds of years ago. If she’s still alive, she’s already an Intermediate Wizard now,” the head priest muttered.
"Back to the main topic, Lord head priest. According to our cooperation agreement, shouldn’t the Church return the item that belongs to us ghouls?” The young noble asked when he saw that the head priest kept changing the topic.
The head priest coughed and said, “That thing will be returned, but your mission is not perfect…”
"Why? Lord head priest, are you trying to go back on your word? I’m here with the sincerity of the Ghoul Hut.” The young man’s eyes turned pitch-black, and a surging corpse aura appeared behind him, turning into a terrifying squirming evil spirit.
The flame emblem on the head priest’s chest flickered. He smiled and said, “Don’t be anxious, Earl Johnson. This is Skyfire City. If you want to attack me, the saint will immediately sense it. At that time, with your Ghoul Earl’s strength, there’s a high chance that you won’t be able to escape.”
"Humans are dishonest creatures… Indeed, I can’t defeat a saint, but I’m confident that before the saint kills me, I can bury Skyfire City with me. Without faith, you’re nothing!” The young man threatened.
"My friend, I’ve already said that we, the Church, will do what we promised.
Don’t try to clash with us. In the upcoming era, without the support of the Church, it will be difficult for your Ghoul Hut to gain a foothold. That thing can be returned to you in a few days. I, Elkeson, swear by the Eternal Fire that I am not lying.” the head priest said.
"I hope so,” the young noble said coldly.
After the discussion, the young noble left.Ten days later, under an abandoned mass grave in the Molten Kingdom.
The young noble received the item sent by the head priest… a green ghost claw.
"If your Ghoul Hut intends to use this to perform an evil ritual, we won’t interfere as long as it doesn’t happen in the Molten Kingdom. Otherwise, don’t even think about getting the other parts of the Ghoul Prince. My suggestion is to go to… the Peacock Kingdom. After the matter is done, we can also return the other parts of the Ghoul Prince to its original owner.” The head priest revealed a sinister smile after saying that.
"Don’t worry, we’re partners…” The young noble smiled and said.
After the head priest left, the young noble carefully sized up the claw. It was rotten and densely covered in dancing maggots and red hair. It emitted an extremely thick stench of corpses and an ominous aura. Ordinary people might fall into endless madness just by looking at it.
This was the Ghoul Prince’s claw, the remains of a level 6 existence. In the later stages of the last convergence of the Heavenly Spheres, this prince was dismembered after being suppressed by the saint of the Church of Eternity and sealed in the forbidden area of the Church.
"With it, the incarnation of the saint that can summon the Father of Plagues will descend.”
The young noble looked excited. Above his head, a black corpse aura soared into the sky like dark clouds, enveloping the mass grave.
"How can there be no stage for the ghouls in such an exciting and interesting new era? Prepare to welcome the arrival of the ancestor of the ghouls, the source of all evil and the Unclean Great Ones!”
In the lush forest of giant trees, Levi and Kaku appeared from the altar. He stretched his muscles and breathed in the air that was different from the air on the other side of the altar.
"The density of elemental power should be about the same as the outer sea region of the Endless Sea. Of course, this is only the density of this area. It might not represent the other areas of this plane.
"In short, the cultivation of wizards is unaffected here. I have to take down this plane. At the very least, I have to become an overlord and gain a foothold.” Levi was determined.
He looked at the fallen statue on the other side of the altar, the strange scaled man with wings on his back.
According to the information he got from Kaku, this Two-Winged Crawler was an Ancient Saint from a long time ago.
It was called “Winged-Hand Ancient Saint”.
Winged-Hand Ancient Saint came from the Flying Lizard Clan. This clan of Crawlers had wings similar to that of pterosaurs. They were one of the few Crawlers that could fly.
Currently, among the thirteen Ancient Saints of the Ancient Saint Empire, the third Ancient Saint, Skybreaking Ancient Saint, was a Flying Lizardman.
In the civilization of the Ancient Saint Empire, the highest existence among the Crawlers was the Ancient Saint!
Below Ancient Saints, there were four levels: Insect, Lizard, Snake, and Ancient Serpent.
The insect level was the most common crawler, like the ordinary Lizardmen of the Kaku Tribe. Their strength was basically between the level of mortals and knights, and some elites might be at the level of grand knights.
Lizard-level, like the chief, who was comparable to a legendary knight and even had some ability to cast spells, were usually the Commanders of small tribes.
Snake-level, on the other hand, was the Commander of a medium-sized tribe with hundreds or thousands of people. They could match Second-Circle Wizards.
The Ancient Serpent level was the Commander of a large tribe with more than ten thousand people. It was comparable to a Third-Circle Wizard. In the entire Ancient Saint Empire, there were only a hundred such tribes.
Above the Ancient Serpent was the birth of the blood of the Holy Snake. Those who grasped the Ancient Saint Aura and possessed the dignity of an Ancient Saint were Ancient Saints!
From the looks of it, the Ancient Saint should be a Fourth-Circle Wizard. Perhaps because of the breathing technique, the Dragon Clan’s aura was too dense, and these Lizardmen mistook him for an Ancient Saint..
