The bright white light and the blue needle twined together, forming columns of blue and white on the pasture with light energy radiating in all directions over the grassland. The cultists, teachers, and students of Baine University retreated as far as they could to avoid this place.

At the gate of the university, a transparent, triangular shield protected several students and professors. They were taking Cainphas and slowly backed away. Among the students was an eye-catching female student, whose face was 70% similar to Mylissa’s. The Heavens had endowed her with a small waistline and breasts that looked like they were about to burst out of her black shirt. Her long blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders as she fired green spiked bullets from a black submachine gun, which was over one meter long. It was a charge gun, one of the standard-issue weapons of dark-energy technology.

“Isabel, the teacher is badly wounded. We must find a deblocking agent immediately. The master has terrible hemorrhage. Otherwise...” said the youth on the side.

“Where is Professor Ayr? He’s an expert in healing!”

“He’s still isolated on the outside!”

“Damn it!”

Isabel Cador appeared calm, but she could not hide the worry in her eyes. She had just returned from her mission when she encountered the cult attack, which came as a surprise to her.

“I haven’t encountered such a situation for many years. It happens the moment I am back!” Isabel looked a little upset. It was no longer a situation a student like her could handle. As one of the top three in the list of students, she could only play the support rule behind the frontline.

Oppressor-class elites, apex Three-wingers, and even Five-wingers pounded the lines of defense of the university. On a normal day, the Three-winged Darksiders would be elites, a rare breed. But now, they were playing the role of foot soldiers.

As a shock wave of over ten meters exploded and expanded in the distance, a blue needle twined with a white light flew from afar and scraped past Isabel. She froze, too scared to move a muscle. And then cold sweat trickled down her body, and blood oozed out from the cut on her left face.

“I-I was almost KO’ed!”

“Be careful ... it’s a fight between the Five-wingers. “Cainphas’s coughing voice was heard from behind. “I didn’t expect the blue-tailed guy to break through...” Before he could finish, he covered his mouth and coughed again.

The teachers and students quickly retreated into the university. As soon as they left, a light curtain with a crescent symbol rose from the ground just outside the school’s gate.

“Yes! The SET defensive force field is activated!” A professor sighed with relief.

This layer of defensive force field gave them a sense of security. But they still could not move their attention away from the fighting in the distance.

“Who is that person? A reinforcement?” Isabel watched as the halos burst out. She murmured in horror.

“Not a reinforcement. It’s an elite coming for the important items of the Sevenlocks Tower. But if it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t be able to come back in,” A professor said, adjusting his glasses.

“Is it ready?” Cainphas looked at the professor.

“Ready. The Moon Basin will arrive in half an hour. The Vice-Chancellor is also on his way back, arriving in half an hour too.”

“Then wait.” Cainphas sighed. “If not wrong, the university is not Bluetail’s target. It will take them at least three days to defeat the SET defense system here.”

“Then what are they after? They are paying such a high price for it.” A professor held his wounded arm and asked.

“I don’t know. Maybe— Watch out!” Cainphas suddenly barked. A huge energy flow that looked like magma exploded on the film as the blue-and-white light beam hit the SET’s thin defensive film at the gate. It sputtered before disappearing.

Liquid and gaseous white holy power, mixed with blue spikes, with huge kinetic energy, bombarded the sturdy defense system film. Frightened, everyone scattered. Only when they saw the defense system still held up, they calmed down.

“It’s time to end this!” Cainphas murmured.

...

“Scorching Gaze!”

Hundreds of eight-eyed squirrels emerged from behind Bluetail, staring and shooting laser-like blue beams in the form of a cone toward Lin Sheng.

“Heresy!” Lin Sheng raised his right hand and parried in front of him. A circle of pure white halo, much like a white disc, appeared around his hand, blocking all the beams. At the same time, he straightened his palm into a knife shape and chopped forward.

Driven by the Rock Dragon blood, his dark energy, and holy power came together, bursting out with explosive force. As soon as the energy left his hand, it materialized into a simple oval-shaped disc, as thin as the wing of a cicada, and shot at Bluetail.

The elliptical disc flew at high speed, driven by the explosive force, hitting Bluetail at its waist.

The dark-energy defense film on the disc and Bluetail clashed, trying to cut through each other’s defense.

Bluetail was sweating profusely after a long fight. He was half-exhausted. Things got worse for him when the disc hit him, further speeding up his energy consumption.

He was desperate and stepped up his dark energy output. This time, dozens of giant tails swelled behind him with spots of blue fluorescence.

“One Tail!” He roared in a low voice, his tails behind him merging into a long, slender one with only the thickness of an arm.

“Hunter’s Ring!”

The long tail curled into a ring, spinning before it disappeared. When the ring reappeared again, it had surrounded Lin Sheng.

The long tail tightened its ring, trying to bind Lin Sheng up. Bright light as strong as the sun exploded out of Lin Sheng’s holy power to push back against the constriction of the long tail. At the same time, he used his arms and pulled off a move of nineteen slashes. Each slash carrying the power upsurge of three energies cut into a long tail.

However, his attack strength was still one step below that of a Six-winger. He could barely delay the squeezing of the blue tail.

At last, the slender blue tail wrapped around his Armor of Dawn, which creaked in protest.

Lin Sheng’s occult had never been powerful because his strength lay in his defense, not attack.

As the blue tail kept tightening and Armor of Dawn held its ground, the fight became a stalemate.

On the grass below at the installation location of the soul vessel, the light column hit two guards and struck them unconscious to the ground.

Another one had his arms charred when he tried to block the holy light with his bare hands. “Final... activation...” He struggled, kneeling on one knee on the ground, extending his charred trying to activate the device.
