Chapter 417: Shaman's internal war
Mars' cultivation was above Luz's, so normally this sneak attack would not have worked. But Mars had spent a long of energy and did not have his guard up against Luz, so Luz's sneak attack worked.
Luz was a determined person, since he decided to kill the High Priest, he of course would not hold back. His personally refined Seven Segment Centipede could kill anyone with a single bite, but it could not kill the man in front of him. When the centipede bit Mars, Luz's palms came forth and slammed into Mars' chest. Although the Shaman Sorcerers did not practice any cultivation techniques, just Luz's True Spirit Realm cultivation releasing his spirit energy was enough to generate a very powerful destructive might.
Mars' ribs were shattered and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Just like a glass person being shattered, he flew through the air and slammed into an altar where a large dent was formed.
"High Priest!"
The expressions of the Shaman Sorcerers all changed as they stared at Luz who had launched the sneak attack.
The priests on Luz's side stood up and they all stood in front of Luz.
A Shaman priest roared out with a face of anger and confusions, "When faced with the enemy, what are you doing!"
"What am I doing? I actually want to ask Mars what he's doing!" Luz came forward with a cloudy expression and not a single Shaman blocked him, "Attack Green City? This is clearly him wanting to perish together, but he wants us to jump into the pit of fire with him! Even if we win, what significance does a ruined Green City have for us? Even if we win, can we bear the anger of the Eternal Forest? The Savage Highlands are treating us as a disposable piece, are you willing to accept this?"
The Shaman Sorcerers had ugly expressions.
Luz said, "I have already come to an agreement with the new City Lord. As long as we separate from the Savage Highlands, the Shamans can settle here and we will receive Green City's protection. Perhaps, our influence will drop greatly, but we will finally be free!"
The Shamans were split into two factions, one supporting Mars and the Savage Highlands and one supporting Luz and the Green City Shamans. Both sides began to break out in confrontation.
"Jie, jie, jie.... ." A figure appeared from the hole in the altar. He had white hair and was covered in blood, looking like a terrifying ghost. His skin was already rotten and there was poisonous blood coming from within him, it was clear that he was severely poisoned, "A good traitor looking for glory. Without the religion in the Highlands, where would the Green City Shamans come from? Today I'll exterminate a rebel branch like you!"
The expressions of Luz's priests all changed.
This old fogy was bitten by Luz's Seven Segment Centipede in a situation where he had no defenses, and then he took two palms from Luz. He still didn't die from all of that? The High Priest was even stronger than people imagined.
Mars saw Luz's ugly expression and he immediately revealed a wild smile, "Surprised? You haven't learned all of the Highland Shamans' skills!"
While he was speaking.
Mars spat out several bugs and each one was like a leech filled with blood, but they weren't moving at all. Their bodies turned black as they released poisonous gas, turning into poisonous blood as they eroded a large part of the floor.
The other Shaman Sorcerers immediately understood.
The High Priest had put several gu insects in him and these gu insects parasitized off him. When Luz's fatal Seven Segment Centipede bit the High Priest, these gu insects sucked away most of the curse energy and poison. Therefore, even if the High Priest's injuries were not light, they were not fatal.
Luz was not feeling good, but that did not mean he would collapse. Luz was very clear on the might of his Seven Segment Centipede, so even if the High Priest cured himself of most of the toxins, there would still be a small part left in his body. Adding in the injuries from the two palms, he would not be able to recover that quickly.
"Then I'll ask you to teach me in the Savage Highland's witchcraft!"
Luz released his source spirit. It was grey in colour and when it condensed, it took the form of a fierce looking puppet. This puppet had small eyes and its mouth was drawn back to its ears. Its seven orifices had insects drilling in them, making it look very fierce.
Each Shaman's source spirit all looked like this.
This was like the Southern Summer's Giant Shark Gang. After the Giant Shark Gang members accepted the baptism of the sea race's inheritance, their source spirits changed to resemble giant sharks. After the Shaman Sorcerers became Shaman Sorcerers, their source spirits would also change to take the form of this sorcerer. The Shaman priest's witchcraft powers came from this source spirit.
Mars also released this source spirit. His source spirit was clearly stronger, as his source spirit instantly appeared, shooting out a tooth. This tooth was not big, being the size of a human's tooth, but it was covered in witchcraft runes. It flew out with the source spirit's power and only a hard to see grey form was sent out.
The tooth concealed fatal witchcraft energy. Luz quickly moved to the side and a Shaman Sorcerer standing behind him was hit instead. It was like a drop of water had landed on him and the tooth disappeared without a trace.
Almost in the next second.
The Shaman Sorcerer let out a pitiful cry.
Large amounts of blood came from his mouth, but it was more accurate to say it ran out. Most of his body's blood came out of his mouth, eyes, and nose. His eyes, brain, and vital organs all sprayed out as fragments as this Shaman Sorcerer fell to the ground as a dry corpse.
Luz waved his sleeve and six-seven armoured bugs gathered in his palms, finally forming a little ball half the size of a fist.
This time it was Mars' turn to quickly dodge.
The insect ball Luz threw out exploded on the wall and the entire Shaman temple shook several times. There was an exaggerated flower of blood that bloomed from the insect ball and instantly left a large mark on the wall.
"Only so-so!"
Mars gave a cold laugh.
Although Luz's skills were only second to Mars, his cultivation was too lacking. This was not easy to make up for, so Mars was 70% certain that he would win.
There was no time.
The Seven Segment Centipede's poison spread through his body.
Mars suppressed the poisons, but his face sunk more and more. The priest robes on him began to tremble as a powerful witchcraft energy came from the seven orifices of his source spirit, like releasing a tornado around himself.
Everyone could feel Mars' intentions.
He decided to take care of Luz with a big witchcraft technique.
But at this time, something no one imagined had happened. A vine suddenly penetrated the walls of the temple and instantly pierced through Mars' back, coming out his chest. The bloody vine continued forward until it hit a pillar, shattering his heart and lungs instantly. Mars was thrown into the air by the might and his eyes popped out as a look of disbelief covered his face.
How was this possible?
How could the temple be so easily penetrated?
When Mars looked at where the vine came out, it was where Luz's insect ball had created a flower of blood. He instantly understood something.
The target of the insect ball was not him.
The blood was filled with a strong witchcraft energy that was like strong acid being sprinkled on the wall, quickly corroding it. Finally it created a large hole which also weakened the defensive power of that part of the temple. The gnomes' vines were already surrounding the temple, so they could certainly feel any parts of it weakening. Clark directly chiseled through the wall, causing Mars to be killed by the vine.
"You shouldn't dream of a better ending if I die!"
"I'll take you all with me!"
Mars' figure wriggled a few times as his white hair suddenly turned scarlet red. There were many small bumps on his skin like many insects moving inside his body. There were more and more of them as his body began to become bigger, as if he was turning into a balloon filled with air.
"This is bad."
"He wants to self destruct!"
"Quickly run!"
The Shaman Sorcerers cried out in fear as they scrambled to be the first to escape. Mars body released a large sound as the entire hall was filled with a layer of blood colour. This was an explosion formed from Mars' witchcraft energy, so it also contained a strong curse power.
Some Shaman Sorcerers slow at running were splashed by a bit of the explosion.
Their bodies became uncontrollable and they began to inflate like Mars did. They became large balloons that exploded with waves of blood red energy which caused others to explode when it landed on them.
This was no longer just self destruction.
Mars used his self explosion to cause several dozen people to explode as well.
If this was used in the dense center of a city, perhaps it could blow up an entire city.
Luz led less than half the Sorcerers out and the temple became a sea of blood.
Clark immediately raised his hand, "Quickly seal the Shaman temple, don't let this energy come out!"
The Green Religion priests made their move, causing layers of vines to be added on, finally turning it into a wrapped up grave. The vines were several feet thick and contained this energy in the end. Even if the explosion inside was strong, it could not come out at all.
"Powerful, truly powerful!" Delores patted her rich chest, "That old thing is truly ruthless. Luckily we didn't participate in the battle, otherwise we would have suffered a large loss."
"The Shaman High Priest is dead, the battle is over. We can go over now."
When Chu Tian led Delores over, the gnomes were already cleaning the battlefield. The several dozen Shamans led out by Luz were currently being trapped by the gnomes, waiting for punishment.
Luz shouted out when he saw Chu Tian, "Sir City Lord, we have done what you have asked for!"
Chu Tian hinted at the gnomes to release them.
The gnomes did not immediately comply and first looked to Clark.
Clark had no other choice. The reason why the gnomes could easily win was mainly because of Chu Tian, so he could only wave his hand, "Let them go."
Chu Tian threw the antidote to Luz, "You have made the right choice. There is no benefit to fighting to the end right now and I think you do not hope the Shaman followers will all die in this fight!"
Luz kept nodding.
This battle was the Shaman's complete loss.
If the Shaman believers all died and without fresh blood to supplement their losses, the Shaman Religion would be unable to recover. There was no meaning to this fight, the Shaman Religion had already collapsed, so they did not have another opportunity!
