BXBX NOVEL Chapter 813: Raphael
Chapter 813: Raphael
As soon as the badge shattered, a little light appeared in the entire space like a seed, revealing a sacred and solemn breath. Even the [Blue Star Kingdom] power could not conceal this breath.
Ze Hongen was thrilled as he rushed toward the ‘seed’ with all his remaining strength. Suddenly, he had a huge sense of crisis. His body had been wrapped in countless sharp qi.
“Sir Raphael, save…”
Ze Hongen’s cry for help came to an abrupt end. In the blink of an eye, his body was completely annihilated by the kingdom power.
Chen Rui wanted to keep Ze Hongen alive to ask about the Breeze Shadow Boots and other secrets, but he did not expect him to have such a move. He successfully activated the badge even with his chopped-off wrist. Chen Rui was inexplicably shocked when he heard the name ‘Raphael’.
Of course, he wouldn’t give Ze Hongen a chance to survive.
Chen Rui knew that time was extremely tight. After killing Ze Hongen with all his strength, he waved his hand without thinking and opened a light blue light door. At this time, the ‘seed’ had begun to rapidly expand into a glowing figure. Bursts of shocking breath spread out like a spider web in all directions.
Chen Rui seemed to hesitate for a moment, and his body was stuck by the ‘spiderweb’. The light of the [Star Gate] quickly faded.
In front of the magic mirror outside the Star Tower space, Carlisle and the senior college executives were also shocked by the annihilation of Ze Hongen.
“Old Dean…” Regiana said grimly.
Carlisle knew what Regiana wanted to say, and he shook his head, “Don’t worry, a powerhouse who can kill Ze Hongen is not someone we can detect or stop if he wants to enter the Star Tower silently. Besides, there is a Demi-God contract, the Holy Church…”
Before he finished speaking, the space in the magic mirror shook violently. With a ‘click’, a crack actually appeared on the mirror surface, then 2 cracks, 3…
“Bang!” The whole magic mirror shattered, causing Carlisle and others’ facial expressions to change drastically. What kind of power is this! Just the aftermath of the space shock shattered the magic mirror that integrated with the power of the star space!
In the Star Tower space, the violent shock exuded terrifying pressure. The Star Tower below protected by the space collapsed one after another, and all participants fainted without exception.
Finally, the terrifying shake was over, and a human figure gradually became clear in the dazzling light in the sky.
This was a man with long black hair and an extraordinary temperament as if he was detached from the world. Due to a special power, his facial features were a little fuzzy, but it gave a handsome and delicate feeling. There also seemed to be a habitual gentle smile.
The man kept a calm smile as he cast his calm gaze on Chen Rui who was struggling to hold on.
Chen Rui instinctively sensed a terrifying might that could terrorize his soul in the seemingly soft gaze as if it could crush his soul. This kind of ‘crushing’ was different from the ‘see through’ of Sariel’s Evil Pupil, but it was also extremely dangerous.
Chen Rui took a deep breath and used the devour power in his body, quickly offsetting the black-haired man’s coercion. He bowed, “Sir Raphael?”
“I can feel the collapsed water element kingdom breath in this space, Ze Hongen… has been annihilated.” With that said, the man’s eyes flashed. The ’spiderweb’ all over the space turned into a force field with a strange structure. The illusion power and devour power that covered Chen Rui suddenly collapsed. He was entirely sealed from all directions.
Not to mention people, even sound and light couldn’t get through.
“Nice illusion and devour power. It seems to fuse with the talents of some kind of dark creature.” Raphael’s indifferent voice echoed in Chen Rui’s soul, shattering the defense of his spirit power. “It’s just the power that hasn’t been kingdomized. It is not enough to compete with Ze Hongen; it is even more impossible to kill him, especially in such a short period of time after using the dominance badge. Compared with this process, I’m more curious about your courage… Your calmness seems to come within your mind. Don’t you know who I’m?”
“Of course I know. I’m just a little curious.” Chen Rui smiled, “I have heard about the famous Sir Raphael for a long time. It is an honor to see you personally today.”
“I’m not interested in accepting the worship of ants.” Raphael said flatly, “If you need honor, then let it be the last emotional experience in your life.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Rui suddenly felt that the space of spiderweb turned into a cage with countless icy killing intent. Raphael only needed a thought to annihilate him completely. Under this absolute strength gap, any subtle technique was futile. There was no room for resistance at all.
The terrifying chill suddenly stopped because of a word Chen Rui said, “Abyss.”
Raphael raised his brows. His eyes seemed to have a surprised expression, “What do you want to say? Last words?”
Although Chen Rui nearly died, he still seemed very determined and shook his head, “Sir was summoned by Ze Hongen. If it was just to kill a Saint-level ant like me, it would be such a waste of power. Don’t sir want to get something more valuable? Actually, whether it’s a last word or death, it’s meaningless to the avatar. Sir should know it better than me.”
“Avatar?”
“I’m not so arrogant that I dare to face the sir directly with my real body, even if sir’s power is only a trace.” Chen Rui smiled slightly, “Besides, Ze Hongen’s strength was almost close to the peak stage of the kingdom, how can he die in the hands of a Saint who has not even kingdomized?”
This sentence was not false. Raphael was likely to sleep in the huge statues of the Holy Light Mountain. Like Sariel and Satan, this badge could only summon an avatar. However, even the avatar was definitely not what he could handle now. Chen Rui could feel that Raphael’s avatar was at least the level of his old father-in-law, Dragon Emperor Auglas, and the actual combat power was definitely above Auglas.
So the one who stayed here was the avatar, Shura.
In fact, Chen Rui still had 2 trump cards in his hand that should be able to compete with Raphael’s avatar, Sariel’s Evil Pupil badge and Satan’s snake pattern badge, but he was in the human world now. Whether they could be summoned across spaces was still a problem, not to mention they were not easy to deal with. Even if the summoning was successful, it would expose a lot of things and bring future troubles.
“I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense.” Raphael looked at the crowd below, “Your real body may be hidden somewhere. If this space is destroyed, you and your avatar will disappear completely.”
“It seems that sir still doesn’t believe that my true body has left.” Chen Rui shrugged, “The reason why I have left an avatar here is not only to witness Sir Raphael’s heroic manner, but also to make a deal related to Abyss with Sir Raphael.”
“Go on.”
The word ‘Abyss’ made Raphael’s eyes flicker. The life and death of this person had been completely squeezed in his hands. It would be easy to destroy, but as the other party said, a precious summoning badge would be wasted to just kill some ants. Ze Hongen was already dead, and the dead was worthless. It was better to listen to the deal and see if he could get anything valuable.
“I can provide the most important intel of the abyss, but I want to know the answer to a few questions.”
“How do I know that the intel you provided is valuable?” Raphael’s gaze showed a bit of disdain, “Perhaps you’ve only heard this rumor occasionally.”
“Really?” Chen Rui smiled, “I have a simple illusion technique, please allow me to show sir.”
With that said, Chen Rui’s eyes flicked with faint red light, and the magic power that was disintegrated by Raphael gathered again. The space here was locked by Raphael’s power. Neither the image nor the sound would be transmitted, so Chen Rui didn’t have to worry.
Scenes after scenes appeared in space like a movie.
Endless blood red, the suffocating, hot, glamorous and beautiful Flower of Abyss, countless the abyss creatures, endless death and destruction… Raphael’s gaze turned to a figure in the distance of the abyss army. She was a female, but he couldn’t see her face clearly, yet he could feel the extreme hatred. In fact, this illusion was created by Chen Rui in combination with the memory and data in the ancient alchemy civilization city, the ‘Sky Wheel’. However, whether it was the memory crystal or Doruda’s data, there was only a rough description of Quilliana and no specific appearance, so Chen Rui used a rather vague ‘expression technique.’
“Hatred God…” Raphael shook slightly, retrieving his calmness.
“Yes, Quilliana.” Chen Rui answered in time, “The Black Death Followers are trying to get her to descend.”
The last sentence was obviously made up.
Raphael finally moved and reduced the pressure, but he still kept the space sealed, “Tell me all you know, I can let you go, but only this time.”
Chen Rui shook his head, “All I want is the answer. After getting the answer, sir can destroy this space or my avatar at will.”
“3 questions.” Raphael pondered slightly, “I can choose not to answer.”
“Okay.” Chen Rui knew that his chips were actually limited, “But sir, please answer a question first.”
“Say it.”
“What is it in the Light Divinity Temple?” Chen Rui spread his hands, “Although with my strength, I don’t deserve to know the answer, but I really can’t suppress my curiosity.”
Raphael’s gaze flashed a strange light, “The things that create and change everything, even if it is god…”
Raphael didn’t say anything more, but looked at Chen Rui lightly, indicating that there was no more to follow.
Chen Rui secretly cursed the tease. A map in his hand floated to Raphael, “This is the distribution and overview of some important bases of the Black Death Follower.”
He prepared this picture to be given to the Holy Church earlier, but he did not expect that the middleman was 1 of the 3 major leaders.
Relying only on Chen Rui’s personal strength, it must be quite difficult to deal with the mysterious cult. He must borrow the force from the Holy Church, and several important bases in it were all under the jurisdiction of Shura’s ‘leader’ Angelie. Exposing them to the other party could also make his undercover plan proceed more smoothly.
After the map disappeared in Raphael’s hands, Chen Rui asked the 2nd question, “In fact, I have also asked Ze Hongen the first question. He mentioned that there is a supreme artifact part called ‘Wind Badge’ in the temple. I want to know more about the ‘Wind Badge.’”
“Hmph! It seems that Ze Hongen really deserves to die.” Raphael frowned, “For God, this is a taboo. As the spokesperson of Light God, I won’t answer your question.”
The spokesperson of Light God? Chen Rui sneered secretly in his heart. The Breeze Shadow Boots is ‘God’s taboo’. What does it mean? Are there any stories about the Demon Realm’s 7 artifacts?
“The Black Death Follower disguised into wizards in the Nightmare Wilderness to confuse the orcs, deceives the faith of the orcs to worship the Evil God, hold blood sacrifices, and use the faith to make Quilliana descend…” Chen Rui selectively said what he had learned about the Nightmare Wilderness. 90% of these things were true and the rest were false. Quilliana’s arrival was naturally false. Raphael did not doubt him. His facial expression had become solemn.
“If what you are saying is true, then this is indeed something that must be taken seriously…” What interests me is, why do you know so many secrets?” Raphael nodded, “It seems that it is more valuable to keep you alive so that it’s worth my effort. “
“What does sir mean?” Chen Rui was startled, “I have a 3rd question.”
“I don’t want to answer anymore, you are not qualified to trade anymore.” Raphael returned to his calm smile and moved his fingers. Chen Rui felt that the strength fluctuations around him became extremely weird. The surrounding spiderweb space suddenly turned into crisscrossing light that penetrated Chen Rui’s body.
When Chen Rui was penetrated by the light, he did not feel any pain. It just seemed that countless silk threads passed through his body multiple times and came straight to his soul. Not only the avatar felt this penetration, even the soul of the original body felt it which was shocking.
“[Dimension Soul Shackle].” Raphael’s voice was still very calm as if he had just done a trivial thing. “The ability to seal the soul is very rare, especially across space, but for an all-powerful archangel, it is not surprising. I’m not only Cherub but also Domination and Potestas. I’m the closest existence to god, and I have the power that is far beyond your imagination. The basic power of an avatar is soul power, and your soul has been locked. Even if it’s just an avatar, it’s impossible to return to the original body.
I believe I will get more valuable things from your mouth. “
“As expected to be 1 of the 3 archangels, I wonder how does Michael and Gabriel’s strength compare to yours?” Chen Rui sighed.
“This is the 3rd question?” Raphael said calmly, “Unfortunately, you have lost the qualification to trade.”
“This is not the 3rd question… Well, Raphael, 1 of the 3 archangels, Cherub, Domination, Potestas, the closest existence to god, cast the Dimension Soul Shackle on me. As a result, my avatar could not return to its original body…” A strange smile suddenly appeared on Chen Rui’s face, “Before the result, there is 1 more sentence, provided if this is just an ordinary avatar.”
Raphael raised his eyebrows and saw that the ‘avatar’ sealed by the Dimension Soul Shackle disappeared suddenly.
