I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 266: Melee

Watts is in danger, something he cannot ignore even though Nadox has always hated him and the Sarkic Cult and the Chaos Insurgency work together. Nadox is a representation of knowledge, wisdom, perception, and mystery as one of the Four Saints of the Sarkic Cults.

He claimed he didn't need to be concerned, but he later used his divination technique to see inside Site-114. It had been a while since he had seen anything concrete, but when combined with the other facts at his disposal, he was able to positively identify the assassin who had killed Sarn.

Special Advisor Zhang Jue was the sexiest man in the SCP Foundation at the time. He was an Asian man with dark hair and dark pimples. He had just recently become well-known a year prior, and all the Foundation knew about him was top-secret.

Therefore, even after learning of Zhang Jue's talent, it was difficult for Nadox to identify him. He had no knowledge of the specifics of Sarn's passing and just believed that Zhang Jue had prevailed via deception.

No matter how well-known the Foundation's advisor was, in his eyes, he was simply a regular person, and no matter how powerful he was, he was still an ant. It was rather unexpected for him to witness the conflict between Zhang Jue and the Chaos Insurgency.

The martial prowess of this young man, who served as an advisor, could not be understated. Even though they were not weak guards from the Chaos Insurgency, they could not hold out against the opposite side for even ten minutes.

There was a certain element of surprise in this, of course, but it also demonstrated that this young counselor named Zhang Jue actually has two skills. I'm worried that the son of the Chaos Insurgency leader would have been interred here if he hadn't arrived.

He didn't give a damn, but it wasn't good for the larger good. They still required the assistance of the Chaos Insurgency until things were under control. That is why Nadox decided to intervene.

"Advisor Zhang, it's good to finally meet you." As he spoke, he held up his scepter.

Watts remained skeptic after Nadox's speech and desired to remain here to witness Zhang Jue's execution. Joseph forced him to retreat.

"Young master, this is not a place to stay for long, don't cause trouble for Lord Nadox."

Watts looked at Nadox and then looked viciously at Zhang Jue, but in the end, reason prevailed and left this place of right and wrong together with Joseph. Zhang Jue did not chase after them, but looked at the cardinal in front of him.

He was a smart man, and at the first chance, he figured out who Nadox was. When Alfred and his entourage reached here from the back, he was going to start speaking. The only route to Saarn's location was through this location.

Nadox immediately jumped up in shock when he spotted Alfred. Alfred's might was apparent to the unaided eye, unlike Zhang Jue. Nadox was a sorcerer as well, and he could more clearly sense the magic aura coming from his body.If the magic power of an ordinary wizard was a small stream, then this white-bearded, white-haired wizard, the magic power in his body was like a vast ocean.

Zhang Jue grinned as he observed his side's troops arrive "What do you say? Scared? Now is too late to flee."

Nadox folded his hands and gave a small head shake. "The Lord has given me power, what is there to fear, even if my body dies?"

As he finished speaking, the aura of crimson flesh and blood that was emanating from his body seemed to thicken. Around him, a group of those flesh-and-blood monsters had gathered as well. Nadox was ready to fight Zhang Jue and Alfred simultaneously, making the ultimate sacrifice.

However, he was unafraid since he could resurrect Lord Saarn once he had recovered. Suddenly, a light appeared on the pagoda hidden deep within the city.

Zhang Jue scowled. Alfred also adopted a somber look. Saarn, who had become frail from handling the nuclear bomb, appeared to be getting better. The balance of power on the field would be completely tipped if he were to live through this time.

Zhang Jue stopped in front of Nadox and said to Alfred at the back, "Old man, I'll handle him."

Alfred was having a headache on how to deal with Nadox, when he saw Zhang Jue volunteered, he was worried, "Young man, don't be cocky. That man is not that easy to deal with."

Nadox had been in charge of the daily operations of the Sarkic Cults, engaged in conflict with the Foundation and the GOC, prior to Saarn's ascent to the gods.

He was unquestionably a great soldier and politician, to put it roughly. People frequently just recall the acting godfather's name, forgetting that he is actually a powerful warlock.

Saarn's power increased significantly as a believer, especially once he was successful in reaching the gods. He could easily take on a few MTF squads by himself with his present level of combat prowess.

Zhang Jue received guidance from Alfred since he was able to tell right away that he wasn't a bad strength. who was Zhang Jue, though? He had never been a coward, whether the adversary was a ghost or a god.

He grinned at Alfred and uttered the simple phrase "Don't worry."

Although time was of the essence and he was at a loss for words, Alfred had no idea where Zhang Jue got his confidence. The entire strategy would be scrapped and there would never be another such fantastic opportunity if Saarn recovered.

All that remained to be done at this point was to hope the young man would hold off a bit longer. Alfred skipped over the two and continued on his journey with his followers and apprentices. Nadox tried to stop it by casting a spell while holding the scepter, but Zhang Jue could not have allowed him to get away with it.

He alone raised his long, black sword before charging directly towards Nadox. Zhang Jue had always considered himself a mage with a scepter in hand, but he had never anticipated to be as skilled in the art of physical fighting.

They truly fought to a draw when their weapons clashed, shooting brilliant sparks.

A melee wizard?

Zhang Jue didn't actually know this. Nadox was uneasy, but he was uncomfortable even more. He hadn't engaged in a contentious conflict like this in a very long timecertainly not since he rose to fame.

He didn't have time to react since Zhang Jue was moving so quickly. He was only responding instinctively. Without Lord Saarn's power enhancement, he would have been rendered defenseless a long time ago. He had no idea that the young man in front of him would be so problematic for him.

He had to deal with Zhang Jue right away before going to help Lord Saarn. Nadox spotted a space and thrust his scepter deeply into the ground while muttering a prayer. Immediately after, a number of red lightning strikes fell from the sky and were aimed directly towards Zhang Jue.

"Bless you!" Zhang Jue swore and jumped in front of it to avoid it. You are causing me a lot of problems, really!

When Nadox was fixed, Zhang Jue yelled and swung his sword at him using "Paralyze" and "Terror Projection" in conjunction. Nadox was not so simple to handle; he quickly snapped out of his stupor and avoided Zhang Jue's blade.

No one was able to acquire a clear advantage as they traded blows back and forth. Even murdering each other without using a killing move wasn't that simple. They each avoided fighting wildly for a similar reason.

They are aware that neither of them individually is the true winner.

Those flesh and blood monsters simply cannot defeat the skilled magicians without Nadox to stop them. Alfred has now taken the group of magicians to the pagoda where the Sarkic Cult's sacrifice ceremony is held.

On top of the ritual platform, Saarn, the new deity of flesh and blood, is watching them impassively.
