Chapter 137: Stop Him!!

Chapter 137: Stop Him!!

The two-plus hours did not feel long. However, the Sanctuary Church had likely given up on certain actions and freed up many hands, making Zheng Yichen feel nothing but exhaustion now. The other side was specifically focusing their efforts against him. The Light Refraction Art that had been released smoothly earlier would now be destroyed within half a minute of appearing each time.

Zheng Yichen could tell they simply wanted to rapidly weaken the Black Mist before dawn.

“Damn it, I never thought the sun could look this beautiful!” When the first ray of sunlight appeared in the sky, the White Moon in the sky also gradually faded, as if fading to transparency. The Black Moon persisted a bit longer, appearing extra conspicuous in the sky, but that was all. As the sun truly rose, the Black Moon completely vanished.

After the Black Moon and White Moon disappeared, the Black Mist began to recede. By now, the Black Mist’s range had shrunk back to its original size and was extremely faint. Zheng Yichen gazed silently at the figure within the Black Mist. How did his Loli turn into… a mature lady!?

Without the Black Moon, the Light Screen in the sky also lost its effect. Probably lacking the support of external power, it began to dissipate. At that moment, Zheng Yichen reached out and grasped it. A rather incredible situation occurred. Without external power support, this thing became a whole entity.

It was no longer like before, where grabbing a part only allowed him to grasp that portion. Now, as he pressed his hand against this Light Screen, the entire layer began to be grabbed!

However, Zheng Yichen’s grabbing speed couldn’t match the dissipation speed. By the time he finished grabbing, the Light Screen had already dissipated by two-thirds!

Even so, his actions left the Sanctuary Church’s higher-ups speechless. What a joke! Once the casting of that Light Screen ended, it would turn into a completely uncontrollable state. How could that dragon control it? Even if only one-third remained, it was something that shocked them to the core. Before they could act, Zheng Yichen moved even more swiftly and preemptively.

The Light Screen he grabbed was continuously stuffed by Zheng Yichen into the Magic Weapon Summoning Book. Of course, to prevent others from noticing anything unusual, Zheng Yichen, with some embarrassment, stuffed the Magic Weapon Summoning Book into his mouth. To outsiders, it looked like Zheng Yichen was devouring the Light Screen.

“Stop him!!”

Seeing Zheng Yichen charging toward the Black Mist, a Bishop of the Sanctuary Church pointed at Zheng Yichen and roared. Although the Black Mist had greatly faded, the threat still remained. They needed some time to cast the Arcane Arts on the people in the Campsite, temporarily making them immune to the Cursed Witch’s ability.

Moreover, because they had maintained the Light Screen for so long, their high-tier combatants’ condition had declined to less than half of their peak state. They needed some time to recover their own condition. After all, this Black Mist had persisted much longer than they anticipated.

Even if the Cursed Witch’s power wouldn’t have much left, the threat was still significant. According to the original plan… the Witch Hunt should have ended hours ago!

Zheng Yichen now charging straight into the Black Mist seemed like a brainless move, yet all his previous actions showed that this Little Dragon was very shrewd.

“Those who block me will die!!”

Seeing many figures rising into the air from the Campsite below, Zheng Yichen widened his eyes and roared. A wave of sound, almost tangible, blasted from the large megaphone in his hand. The sound was so loud that the megaphone overloaded and shattered. But the effect was obvious. Many people in the Campsite covered their ears, and those with weaker constitutions even had blood seeping from their ears.

“Cough… that hurts.” Rubbing his throat, Zheng Yichen muttered painfully. He had just used a sound-related Magic. The effect was similar to the Lion’s Roar Kung Fu, but he had overdone it this time.

Although it greatly affected the low-tier soldiers, for the high-tier combatants, while the sound waves were uncomfortable, the actual impact was minimal. They only paused briefly before returning to normal. To this, Zheng Yichen thought… you guys are tough!

He directly activated the Propulsion Devices mounted on his body. This time, the equipment wasn’t just the wings, but also his limbs and torso. These didn’t directly boost his combat power, but they allowed his speed to reach explosive heights. Yes, these were all Propulsion Devices!

With everything at full power, even if the pursuers behind could now easily handle Zheng Yichen in a fight, in terms of frontal combat power, Zheng Yichen couldn’t compare. But now, his speed was like cheating; those people couldn’t catch up either!

Even with Magic, they needed to be able to lock onto Zheng Yichen. Not all Magic was like those improved by Dan Marina, with special homing properties. As long as you mentally locked on, you could fire it toward your own backside, and with enough Mana, it would still hit the target.

“……” The pursuers watched as Zheng Yichen pulled further and further away from them, their expressions turning odd. What the hell? How could that dragon’s speed be so fast? Even with speed-enhancing Magic, it didn’t make sense. They had also used similar acceleration Magic during the chase, and quite advanced ones at that.

“Hey! That Little Dragon’s gear is pretty good…” A man in black robes looked at the distinctly mechanical-looking Propulsion Devices on Zheng Yichen’s body. They all had good enough eyesight to have judged early on that Zheng Yichen could leave them in the dust speed-wise precisely because of those Propulsion Devices.

They didn’t know the thing was called a Propulsion Device, but that didn’t stop them from recognizing its effect.

“Hmph, no matter how good, it won’t end up in your hands!” Another man glanced at the black-robed man and snorted coldly. Participants in the Witch Hunt came regardless of identity, so there were both good and bad among them. The black-robed man was a quite powerful and somewhat famous member of the Dark Church.

Normally, this guy was wanted, but because he participated in the Witch Hunt, the warrant was temporarily suspended. Of course, someone like him didn’t join the Witch Hunt to atone for crimes, but for the abundant benefits involved!

To get enough high-tier combatants to participate in the Witch Hunt, the Sanctuary Church had made concessions in many areas. Not to mention during the Witch Hunt itself; after it ended, there would be a peace period for distributing the spoils.

“That’s not necessarily true.” The black-clothed man chuckled darkly a couple of times, pointed a finger at Zheng Yichen who was speeding away wildly, and several solid black lines descended upon Zheng Yichen’s body. Enjoying his high speed, Zheng Yichen stumbled, feeling his body grow weak and powerless.

“Tsk… a Curse, huh…” Zheng Yichen glanced back indignantly. Normal Magic, except for large-scale area-of-effect types, required aiming to hit. Curse Magic didn’t need that; it could directly descend upon the target. Now that he encountered Curse Magic, Zheng Yichen wasn’t surprised. This stuff was bound to come sooner or later.
