Chapter 889: Chapter 872: Occultism and Natural Science

”Clear the scene, Qilin!”

Lann shouted.

And the noble warhorse neighed as well, beginning to unleash its power.

”Whinny!”

The high-pressure environment was forming under the Qilin’s power.

In the church, there suddenly was an oppressive feeling as if dark clouds loomed overhead.

Soon, blue-white glowing spots appeared gradually on the floor of the Profound Church’s hall, due to accumulated charges.

Charge disparity formed, high-voltage electric phenomenon simultaneously occurred!

”Crackle!” *N

Several bright and ear-piercing thunder blasts suddenly appeared in the church.

This was nature’s thunderous force, the natural blue lightning.

A large group of Subterranean Bishops, caught off guard, were turned to charcoal by the thunder, not even having time to cry out.

The high-voltage electricity scorched their flesh, causing it to crack open with heat, revealing the tender deeper tissues inside.

In an instant, the density of fireballs being fired towards the second-floor terrace for suppression drastically dropped a level.

And on the church’s walls, Rong Buqiu, wielding the Thunder Cat Sword, used [Light Body Skill] to leap back and forth between the church’s wall carvings and decorations along the wall ledges.

”I’ve long seen you’re not good people, meow!”

To date, relying on the inherent agility and lightness of the Elu Cats, Rong Buqiu’s [Light Body Skill] hadn’t quite reached the level of Ancient Greek Phoebe, or the nimbleness of the Ninjas.

But it can certainly be said that running on rooftops and walls is no problem.

The slaves, weak and only capable of harming through slow climbing and sudden ambushes, were no match for the agility of the small cat.

So whenever Rong Buqiu dashed across the wall, those slaves either fell bleeding or failed to grip the wall tightly and were kicked down.

The threat from high above the terrace lessened considerably.

It seemed the pressure in the room where Rosalie was was reduced a lot.

But on the ground floor of the hall, Lann frowned after the Qilin released a burst of thunder.

The Qilin snorted in surprise.

”Huff?”

Lann had considered, that the priests entrusted to oversee Elderidge’s coffin and host such a Great Cathedral couldn’t be simple, nor could they be entirely wiped out by a single call of thunder from the Qilin.

Yet despite the initial loss of personnel, the damage was unexpectedly limited, catching both Lann and the Qilin off guard.

After the glaring and ear-piercing thunder, most of the bishops and Church Knights who reacted and counteracted merely had slightly charred outer garb under the Qilin’s thunder.

Most of them kneeled on one knee, clutching a hand to their chest in a prayer posture.

Moreover, following this motion, a dark and deep glow appeared on their bodies.

”Miracle [Profound Shelter].”

Lann murmured the name of the magic softly.

This was the first story in the Holy Scripture recommended by MacDonald.

Actually, before Elderidge committed the cannibalistic crime, Losric City had already discovered the power of the Profound and conducted some research, one of the outcomes being this [Miracle].

However, noticing the danger of this power, the research was timely ceased and sealed.

Afterward, the Profound Church was established, becoming a funeral church for the Undead, with this [Miracle] existing as technical support given by Losric to the bishops before taking office, teaching them to protect themselves.

After all, handling the dark blood accumulated by Undead required sufficient defense power; otherwise, nothing could be done.

The Profound was originally a peaceful and holy place, which therefore became a breeding ground for those terrifying beings.

This story detailing the [Deep Sea] could protect the worshippers of those terrifying beings.

To Lann’s understanding, this was a form of occult [Shelter].

But the issue was—the Qilin’s lightning was purely a natural force.

Although in the New Continent, countless absurd and exaggerated monsters emerged, all of them were naturally born creatures within the environment.

The Ancient Dragon was merely the group standing at the apex of the biological chain in nature.

The Qilin’s azure lightning was proof of this.

Yet pure natural lightning seems, due to the lack of mystery, suppressed by their magic in this world.

The life forms in this world originated entirely from the first flame, meaning that the ’life’ in this world, rather than biological ’life,’ is more akin to occult ’life’ in concept.
