Chapter 1359: Targetted
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Knight Keynes dragged Knight Momo out of the central temple and directly threw him into his world. With 100 fists of heaven, Knight Momo was blasted into pieces.
Since he was in knight Keynes’ world, the soul beam that should appeal never did. All of his energy was absorbed. Even his soul never returned to the Guardian Wings.
It was the biggest punishment the holy kingdom could give to a holy knight, forever banishing his soul and destroying its last bit of hope.
Knight Keynes was just as furious even after killing Knight Momo. He still felt like Knight Lancelot’s death had not been repaid.
“Ah!” He roared and unleashed all his energy, forming a wave in the sky.
No one around was dared to make a sound. Even the saint kept his mouth shut. By that point, only 2 god rank knights were summoned, and one was already dead. No wonder Knight Keynes was losing himself.
There was nothing he wouldn’t do, and even the furthest town could sense his energy.
This included Thief God Milton.
Immediately, Thief God Milton paused in mid flight and turned to the source of energy.
At the same time, he sent a message to Abel through the soul chain.
It was the energy of a god rank, so it must be his target.
Abel was just about to enter his training room after sending off headmaster Eugene when he got the message.
“Milton, track down that knight. But be careful, don’t directly look at him and let me know as soon as you find him!” Abel commanded.
Abel himself had learned knight skills, and he had a half god knight as summon. He knew how powerful a knight’s senses were.
Even half god no.1 could sense a gaze without looking.
It was a knight’s intuition, which was what made them almost impossible to assassinate.
Still, Abel had already figured out a solution.
He was planning to head to the ocean soon and resurrect Knight Lancelot, but it seems like he now had to wait for Thief God Milton.
When it came to who that gold rank knight was, the strongest possibility was Knight Keynes.
He knew knight Keynes was the one who destroyed the howling castle, the pride of the wizards.
Although he never met those wizards working in the howling castle, he shared a mission with the Lightnings in the Howling Castle before.
The Howling castle was a great piece of architecture, so he had to make Knight Keynes pay.
Thief god Milton flew in full speed, but as he approached the god rank energy, he retracted his energy and merged with the current of the atmosphere.
By that point, knight Keynes had returned to the Central temple. He ignored everyone around and arrived at a private courtyard.
He was still furious, so he did not hide his energy. Although his energy did not harm anyone, it cast a looming heaviness over the temple.
No one said anything. They all knew knight Keynes was losing himself, which gave Thief God Milton’s the perfect chance to get his location.
“Master, I’ve found the god rank knight!” Thief god Milton connected to Abel and said.
Finally!
“Magic circle spirit, forbid anyone from entering the Golden castle !” He first connected to the Magic circle spirit and then connected to Doff “Doff, forbid any god rank from entering the Battlecry plateau, any request must wait before I finish my business!”
After everything was set, he connected with Thief god Milton again and got the location of Knight Keynes.
Thief god Milton was not flying. Instead, he was hiding in a forest 5 miles from the central temple.
He was not looking at the central temple directly. Instead, he used the corner of his eyes while keeping his soul calm.
Abel didn’t know how powerful knight Keynes’ senses were, but he was about to take over Thief God Milton, and this way, he would be able to hide the thick murderous scent he had.
Abel looked up, it was noon, and it was not the best time to make a move. Especially since knight Keynes might have some power of the will lurking within his god rank energy.
Therefore, Abel found a comfortable spot for Thief God Milton to sit down and waited for knight Keynes to retract his energy.
Meanwhile, the saint was not looking good as he sat in the temple. What knight Keynes was doing could impact his authority.
Therefore, he stood up and connected to the guardian wings.
Soon, a white glow with the energy of the demon from beyond beamed down on knight Keynes in the courtyard.
“My lord!” Knight Keynes immediately dropped to his knees and said with the most respectful tone.
All of a sudden, his fury was defused, and as calmness kept washing over him, he started to get tired.
It was what the saint wanted. A good night of sleep should help knight Keynes calm down.
As the ambassador for the demon from beyond, his will was perfectly executed.
After a day of running and fighting, Knight Keynes’ soul was drained, and he slowly plunged into a deep sleep.
Through Thief God Milton senses, Abel clearly sensed what was happening.
He waited for a moment. After he was certain that knight Keynes’ energy had faded, Thief god Milton stood up.
His invisibility and penetration spell was ignited at once as he flew towards the central temple.
The night was about to fall, and the only glow remaining was the guardian wings.
Abel was familiar with the central temple, and knight Keynes’ courtyard was near the back.
The central temple’s defense was top notch, and everywhere was surrounded by high walls.
Those walls were all filled with magic patterns, and things only got more tight in the temple.
Abel smoothly controlled Thief god Milton and arrived at the top window of the central temple. It was where he entered last time.
But there was something different this time. Not only were their magic circles as protection, but there was also an extra layer of crystal shield,
If he broke it, it would definitely alert the guards around.
Seems like he had to find another route,
Therefore, he arrived at the front entrance. The main gate was shut, but the side entrance was open,
There were 2 mad knights standing on each side as guards.
They definitely beefed up their defense since Abel started causing so much commotion. After all, mad knights were already very prestigious in the holy kingdom.
Thief god Milton approached the side entrance, and Abel retracted his consciousness. Just like that, Thief god Milton floated forward like a ghost.
It was not easy to trick a mad knight at such close range.
Knights were born with powerful senses, and there was no way Thief god Milton could do so alone with his spells, especially since they were only around 2 meters away from each other.
However, Abel was a knight himself, and he had a half god knight as summon. He had a good understanding of the intuition, so he knew the best way to bypass the senses of knights was to let go of his consciousness and let Thief God Milton move like a dead body.
He connected with thief god Milton through the soul chain and pressed Thief God Milton’s consciousness in as well. All Thief god Milton’s body did was continue his original trajectory forward.
He also held back Thief God Milton’s own intuition as he passed by the knights, and finally, he successfully got in.
Once again, Abel has arrived at the familiar temple. He turned to the spot where he stole a statue, and there was already a new statue there,
From its surface, Abel could tell it was altered by faith, and it could forge holy crystals.
In fact, there was already a faint silhouette of a holy crystal forming. But there were still some days until an actual holy crystal was formed.
He knew what was happening in the holy kingdom recently. They have definitely increased the praying time of their followers.
Even the chapels have started doing more ceremonies to strengthen the praying power as a way to generate more faith.
However, Abel knew his priority and turned away from the statue for now.
“Oh!” Thief god Milton suddenly noticed a new barrier in the temple, and he couldn’t bypass it no matter what.
The barrier was made of a familiar energy, the energy of the demon from beyond.
Thief god Milton might be able to bypass the energy barrier of normal gods, but the demon from beyond was just too powerful in comparison. He just couldn’t match up with it no matter what.
Luckily Thief god Milton wasn’t flying too fast, so he could stop in time.
“What a laughable barrier!” Abel smirked and took out the crystal angel statue.
With a bit of faith, energy wrapped around Thief god Milton and he reached his finger forward.
As soon as the 2 energy made contact, the barrier recognized Thief god Milton as trustworthy and opened up a path for him.
