Chapter 177: Combined Technique
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Outside the Imperial Palace of the Empire, a group of golden armored guards was standing and waiting with axes in their hands . That was because the Emperor had given the order not to allow anyone in and disturb him .
At that moment, Andy looked serious . He could see the entire situation at Thunder City through Rody’s mask . Naturally, he knew about the powerful lightning spell cast by hundreds of Roland sorcerers .
"Is it combination of sorcery?" In a serious manner, Andy asked Sky who was standing beside him . "Did you say that they are using a combination of sorcery?"
Sky nodded and then shook his head and frowned, "Old skeleton, I only heard you describe it but I have never seen it for myself . However, according to your description, it should be the legendary combination of sorcery . It was a legendary spell that allowed the sorcerers to combine their magical powers . For example, it is impossible to break a wall with the punches of a hundred soldiers . However, if the powers of those hundred punches were to be concentrated into one punch, it would become possible!"
"I understand what you mean…" Andy furrowed his eyebrows . "However, doesn't the combination of sorcery only exist in legends? I heard that it was the sorcerer's strongest technique during the God and Devil war . It was also the legendary strongest sorcery . . . "
Sky pursed his lips and said, "You are wrong, The combination of sorcery emerged during the war with the Mystic Dragon . . . As men were God's people, they were natural enemies with the Mystic Dragon . During that era, human sorcerers learned how to use the combination of sorcery from God . However, this technique was lost after thousands of years . "
Andy stood up and then slowly sat back again and laughed . "This sounds like trouble… Hundreds of their ordinary sorcerers are already so powerful . If there were a few high ranked sorcerers or a few saints from the Temple, using forbidden spells together . . . that scene, I dare not imagine . "
Sky pursed his lips and replied, "I have never heard of such powerful sorcery . If it were used, I am afraid that the sky would also collapse . Even people who practice 'Domain Force' may not be able to resist . I know that, during the legendary demonic era, a Kara clansman with 'Domain Force' was killed by this combination of sorcery . "
Andy became supercilious and said, "Looks like you people with 'Domain Force' are not omnipotent . A few sorcerers are enough to kill you?"
Sky replied, "According to what you say of the Saints from the Temple, their strengths are about the same as Sacred Swordsmen and Holy Knights . However, when encountering a person with 'Domain Force', under normal situation, even several Sacred Swordsmen and Saints may also not be able to defeat a person with 'Domain Force' . This is a high-level strength that a difference in numbers cannot overcome . However, if a few Saints were to use combination of sorcery, even a person with 'Domain Force' may also not be able to withstand the attack . Besides that, what do you even think people with 'Domain Force' are? However powerful we are, we are still humans . We are not Gods! If the opponents are willing to suffer losses and send out hundreds of thousands of Sacred Swordsmen, then they are able to have a fair fight with a person practicing "Domain Force' . The strength of people with 'Domain Force' is not inexhaustible; surely there will be a time when they can be depleted…"
Andy nodded and said, "No wonder the people from the Roland continent suddenly become so brave and dared to invade us! Originally, they should have been very thankful that the Radiant Empire did not intend to fight them . However, now they dared attack us in our land! Hum, is the combination of sorcery really so powerful?"
Having said that, Andy glanced at Sky . Sky immediately jumped up and shouted, "Don't try to take advantage of me! I am not a fool! If it were really combination of sorcery, they would just need a few Saints to kill me . Don’t you even think about it!"
Andy sighed and said, "Is your life so valuable? You are already a few hundred years old and yet you are still afraid of death? However, this is really a headache… Their high ranked sorcerers have not even appeared . What are they waiting for? How did they suddenly learn combination of sorcery, when this technique had been lost for so many years? Don't tell me, some shitty God taught them?"
Sky rolled his eyeballs and said, "Actually, the combination of sorcery may be terrifying but it is not the only terrifying spell . There are other methods that can be used to compete with it . For example, the magician's combined technique . The combined technique and the combination of sorcery have similar principles . If the two methods were used against each other, it is still not clear which would win . This combined technique, like combination of sorcery, had also been lost for thousands of years and only existed in legend . "
Andy sighed and asked, "So what should we do? Should we go to the Church and pray; God, please come quickly and teach us this combined technique!"
Andy suddenly jumped up . He had a strange expression . His eyes looked surprised and vigilant .
"Fatty, that day in the Imperial Palace, the Pope used the God’s Vanquish . I did not see it myself but you did . The God’s Vanquish should be a kind of combined technique . Am I right?"
Sky closed his eyes to recall the spell used by the Pope that day . Without doubt, there were several Bishop Elders that had transferred their magical power to the Pope .
"Possibly…" Sky’s expression changed . "Now that you mention it, I think you are right… After all, combined technique and combination of sorcery were in the legends . I have never seen any of these spells before but after listening to you, it seemed like . . . "
"Haha haha…" Andy could not help but laugh . "Then, this is interesting . Combined technique and combination of sorcery; the two God’s religions fighting each other . Haha haha…"
Sky frowned and asked, "Old skeleton, don’t you think it strange? Why did humans suddenly master the strongest legendary sorcery and the strongest legendary magic? Is it the interference of those guys in heaven? At the end of the day, humans, regardless whether they are from Roland continent or Radiant continent, both worship the same guys in heaven . He gave the northern Roland continent the combination of sorcery and taught the Radiant continent the combined technique . . . then watch the two fight each other . Is this fun?"
Andy shrugged and replied, "Who knows? Maybe those guys in heaven are crazy . . . "
Sky frowned . "If there were really such combined technique, it would not be difficult to put down the cavalry of northwest grassland and even the powerful Reuenthal . "
Andy hmphed at Sky and then said, "Would that Pope consent? Even if he has the combined technique, he will not tell us . He will also not send more people to help us . The problem in the Northwest is necessary for him to keep the Empire's influence in check . That old guy cannot wait for the Church to rule the Empire . Why would he help us to put down the Northwest? He might help the people from the North but I think we should handle the situation at the Northwest ourselves . If that doesn't work, fatty, you can go and deal with it . Otherwise, it would be a waste for someone, with 'Domain Force' like you to just sit here the entire day?"
Sky looked at Andy and coldly said, "You want me to go to the Northwest? What is going to happen to you when I go to the Northwest? Old skeleton, others may not know but I can see your weakness! The Emperor’s body had already consumed a lot of your spiritual power, right? How long can you continue to support yourself? If someone decides to attack you, will you be able to fight back? You are a skeleton and your magic power will not replenish! Moreover, the Church is still puzzled that the Emperor had suddenly recovered . There is also the vampires, who may come looking for you because you have suppressed Prince Barond . They just need to send a few masters to attack you . Even if they cannot kill you, they can still exhaust your spiritual power and then you will be finished . I am here, by your side, to accompany you and to protect you! When there is nothing going on, I can help you to replenish your strength . If I were to leave, what is going to happen to you?"

Andy no longer laughed . He silently and calmly looked at Sky for a while before he said, "Fatty, both of us have lived for hundreds of years . However, if I do not experience a few interesting things in my life, then what would be the purpose of living? I have already spent two hundred years sleeping but the whole of last year was the most exciting . "
Sky sighed and replied, "You are really good to that boy… You risk being exterminated just to help him… However, I cannot leave you . I do not have many friends . You and that boy are my only friends . That boy had already bathed in the blood of the Mystic Dragon and will not die so easily . I only need to look after you . I do not care about other people, or the Empire or the Northwest Region . "
. . .
Outside the Imperial Capital, a carriage rushed towards the direction of the city gate . The person driving the carriage was a robust middle-aged man . The beard on his face made him look unusually valiant . He carried an odd-looking longbow on his back and a flexible whip in his hand . He gently flicked his wrist and the whip stretched out into the air, making a crisp sound . Behind the carriage was a group of the Empire’s garrison cavalry . It was led by a robust young man . He had a heroic expression but his left arm was wrapped with an armband . He went to the side of the carriage and loudly said, "Miss Myka . We have reached the Imperial Capital . "
The window of the carriage opened . However, the person that revealed her face was not Myka . Instead, it was Diane .
Diane looked at the young officer and laughed . "Mr . Oliseh, you must be very excited . Once you enter the Imperial Capital, you can join the Lightning God’s Whip . "
The young officer, Oliseh, showed excitement in his eyes . However, he remembered something and his eyes turned gloomy . He then said, "It will be an honor to risk my life for His Excellency the Duke . My late father will also be proud . "
Darke who was driving the carriage was about to speak . However, before he could turn his body, Diane glared at him and shouted, "Hunter, you better hurry up! If it were not because of you, we would have reached the Imperial Capital a long time ago!"
Darke trembled and force a smile . However, he still turned to look at Diane . He looked at her tenderly before silently swinging his whip again .
Oliseh laughed bitterly and said, "Miss Diane, Darke has already been driving the carriage for two full days . I suggest we let one of my men replace him . "
These words made the dozen cavalrymen behind them excited . These young soldiers had been following Myka and Diane for days and had admired their beauty . To drive the carriage for these goddesses would be a heavenly task .
Diane looked at Darke's back and lightly said, "No need . That guy is nothing special but he is talented in driving carriages . "
Oliseh gave a wry smile as he looked at Darke with a complicated and sympathetic expression .

Oliseh was Allier’s son . He was originally the captain of the local garrison . When his father was killed in battle, Rody had promised to recruit Oliseh into the Lightning God’s Whip . Rody then entrusted the entire matter to his subordinates .
At that time, Sky was curious and was in a hurry to get to the Imperial Capital to join in the fun . However, Darke's injuries had not healed . As a result, Myka and Diane were left behind to take care of Darke, while Sky left first for the Imperial Capital .
With the Duke’s orders, Oliseh’s transfer was quick and simple . He then followed Myka and Diane to the Imperial Capital . Although he was late by many days, when finally he saw the Imperial Capital looming in the distance, he was excited .
Oliseh also had different thoughts in his mind .
When he first saw Myka and Diane, he was shocked by their beauty . Listening to them talk, he knew that Myka was the woman of His Excellency the Duke . Naturally, he did not dare to have any ulterior motives . However, being young, he ended up falling in love with Diane at first sight . Although his father had just died and he had no mood in pursuing girls, the love in his heart grew stronger every day .
Diane was pleasant to everyone except Darke . She was fierce and harsh to Darke . Originally, it was because she was angry that Darke had delayed their trip . In the end, she found fault with Darke every day as it was fun .
The journey had been fun . Oliseh secretly admired Diane while Diane continued to bully Darke for fun . Meanwhile, Myka felt anxious . She heard that Rody went to the North to fight a war and was worried for her sweetheart .
On the other hand, Diane was very confident . She had seen Rody use the Mystic Dragon Purge in the valley to kill Wuya . Naturally, Diane had great confidence in Rody's strength and was not worried at all . Along the way, she comforted Myka . "That guy has a lot of luck . Now he even has terrifying strength . I don't think there is anybody else, besides Sky, who could kill him . " However, Myka still looked melancholic every day . The only time she laughed was when she looked at how Diane bullied Darke .
Diane noticed that the girls around Rody were very intimate with him . Even though Myka was a prostitute, she had a certain quality that made Diane feel inferior . Besides this, that day Myka had declared: "I will be his concubine" . That bold declaration of love made Diane gasp in surprise . She was extremely sure that she would not have that kind of determination .
On top of that, she already knew that Rody was madly in love with the daughter of the Tulip Family . He was even willing to risk his life for Nicole . This kind of affection would be extremely difficult to replace .
Although, in the beginning when she was by Rody's side she had an inexplicable feeling, as things gradually developed these feelings disappeared . . .
On reaching the city gate, Oliseh entered the Imperial Capital and was transferred straight to the barracks of the Lightning God’s Whip . At that time, Myka started to worry .

Where should I go? Nobody knew where that fatty went the moment he reached the Imperial Capital . There was no news of him ever since they departed .
Rody went to the North . So where should I go? Should I go to the mansion of the Duke of the Tulip Family? Should I go and see Miss Nicole like this? When I meet her, am I supposed to just say that I am Rody’s…
Myka became dejected again . Diane noticed and asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
Myka sighed and said, "This whole time, I have been thinking of quickly reaching the Imperial Capital . Now that I have reached the Imperial Capital, I do not know what to do . "
Diane shook her head and said, "Obviously the first thing we should do is find that fatty . Who knows where that guy went . "
Myka lowered her head and thought for a while . She then looked up and suddenly smiled . "I have decided . "
"What?"
Myka lightly said, "At first, I wanted to go straight to the North and find him . However, after some thoughts and since he is now fighting a war, if I were to go there, I would only be a burden to him . Since I want to be his woman, I cannot become his burden and give him more trouble . So…"
Myka smiled peacefully . Her voice was firm and left no room for doubt . "So I decided to stay in the Imperial Capital . I will find a place to stay and wait for him to return!"
"Wait? How long will you wait?" Diane frowned .
Myka smiled faintly . Her tone sounded as if everything was very simple . "Regardless of how long it will be, I will wait!"
Diane was stunned as she looked at Myka for a long time before she sighed and said, "You are really strange…"
Myka shook her head and lightly replied, "There is nothing strange about it . When you have finally decided to give yourself to a man, the world becomes that simple!
