The hundreds of wicked god worshippers shouted in unison as if they were praying. Silvery light flew out from them and twisted and fluctuated in mid-air before finally forming the form of a tall, silvery figure.

This body of the figure was wrapped with a gigantic snake with its head held high above his head. It looked extremely monstrous and seemed to look exactly the same as the wicked god statue from earlier.

“Whoosh…”

The wicked god’s apparition was expressionless and had cold eyes, and emitted a terrifying aura. Then, the apparition transformed into a beam of light like a silvery tide, and let out an earth-shattering shriek before charging toward Ores.

A strong sense of danger appeared in Ores’ heart. Even Merlin and Wizard Dara, who were far away, could feel the terrifying power that the silvery tide contained.

“Last time, I was defeated by that wicked god apparition. Get ready, it’s almost time to make our move!”

Wizard Dara stared intently at the apparition, his face somber. He had already encountered that apparition before but when he realized he was no match for it, he escaped.

Merlin nodded and quietly began to make preparations.

“Freezing Storm!”

Seeing the huge wicked god apparition, Ores did not hesitate at all and cast Freezing Storm. This was his strongest attack. Immediately, cold air surged and everything around a hundred meters began to freeze into ice crystals.

“Boom.”

The silvery tide-like light that covered the sky clashed violently with Ores’ Freezing Storm, causing the void to shudder. Circular ripples spread toward all sides, and everything that came into contact with those ripples was instantly crushed to smithereens.

Smoke and dust dispersed, and the huge blast nearly blew Ores away. Currently, he was standing a distance away in the air. His face was pale, and he looked at the wicked god’s apparition in front of him with uncertain eyes.

Ores seemed to have suffered some minor injuries but the wicked god’s apparition had become even larger and terrifying. Its powerful life force enveloped the surroundings, making even Ores feel strongly pressured.

“Damn it, the wicked god had actually awakened. You managed to borrow the wicked god’s power. No one can destroy you besides the Glorious Wizards from the Glorious Palace.”

Ores looked at the humongous apparition and grew solemn. With just that brief contact, he understood that the wicked god believers in front of his eyes already exceeded his expectations. Going up against this apparition was not something that he could do.

Furthermore, he also felt a boundless will from that apparition. Although it was hidden inside the apparition and seemed to remain in a hazy state, Ores was sure that it was the wicked god’s will.

The wicked god was indeed dead but a dimensional god was slowly being born. As long as people did not stop believing in it for years, even if the wicked god was dead, a new wicked god would be reborn.

In other words, as long as there was faith, wicked gods would never be eradicated. This was why the Glorious Palace paid so much attention to the believers of wicked gods. Once they found any, they would issue some tasks and provide generous rewards to powerful Spell Casters who had destroyed these wicked god worshippers.

“Retreat!”

Ores did not hesitate at all. His body was like an arrow in flight as he quickly retreated. However, the fanatical wicked god’s followers raised their hands to their foreheads and shouted, “Haliadora!”

“Squeak, squeak, squeak.”

The silvery white apparition collapsed with a loud rumble into a black crow. This black crow also covered the entire sky when it flew, appearing very frightening.

Tens of thousands of black crows, all carrying a glimmering light on their bodies and possessing blood red eyes then crazily rushed toward Ores. Their speed was incredibly fast, and they caught up to Ores in an instant.

“Freezing Storm!”

Ores looked at the tens of thousands of black crows with a trace of fear in his eyes. According to legend, these black crows were the wicked god’s pets and possessed unfathomable mystical energy.

He had never thought that this group of believers would be able to summon the black crows, the wicked god’s pets already.

“Crack, crack.”

Cold air surged, and the black crows rushed forward were frozen one after another. Every time a crow was frozen, it would turn into nothingness as it never appeared in the first place.

However, more and more black crows which were unaffected by Freezing Storm still charged toward Ores successively. The shrieks from their beaks seemed to cause Ores some trouble in casting his spell.

“Rip.”

A black crow viciously collided with Ores, and a black light quickly appeared on Ores’ body. This light spread rapidly like a large black net, and enveloped Ores in it.

“Ahhhhhh… You damn bird, die!”

Ores roared pitifully. The places the black light spread began to rapidly decay, and even defensive spells could not stop it. Furthermore, there was a terrifying black-colored face as if going to replace Ores.

Rumor had it that as the wicked god’s pets, the black crows possessed incredible power. Now, they had only launched one attack against Ores but it could make a peak Eighth-level Wizard like Ores suffer so much. It showed just how horrible those black crows were.

“Boom.”

Ores’ body was ablaze with flames that rapidly flared up and spread. Like Freezing Storm, Ores’ Fire-type spells were equally powerful.

However, the black crows were countless. Each time the dark light managed to suppress the flames, a large number of black crows would hit Ores.

Ores’ body decayed rapidly. His eyes sunk in and the scent of blood filled the air. It was as if even the white of his bones could be seen. It truly was a horrible sight.

Hit by such a heavy blow, Ores could no longer support his spells, and in an instant, tens of thousands of black crows drowned Ores. Ores’ life force was completely extinguished immediately, and all that was left was the cawing of crows.

Merlin, who was hiding in the distance, revealed some fear in his eyes upon seeing this sight. He turned to Wizard Dara and asked, “Wizard Dara, you haven’t seemed to have mentioned these black crows. Hehe, even Ores could not stand up against the wicked god’s pets and was killed by this group of believers. How did you manage to escape back then?”

Merlin felt that Wizard Dara seemed to have hidden some very important details.

These black crows made even Merlin feel threatened, so there was no way that Wizard Dara was unaware.

Wizard Dara’s face was also grim, and he said solemnly, “The last time I came, those believers did not release the wicked god’s pets. Or, they did not have the ability to summon the black crows back then. If this is the case, then the wicked god they worship will continue to grow stronger. That cannot happen. Now is the best chance to stop them.”

“Now?”

Merlin’s eyes were cold. He had just seen those terrifying black crows but Wizard Dara still wanted to destroy those wicked god’s believers. He really did not know what Wizard Dara was especially relying on.

Seemingly aware of Merlin’s dissatisfaction, Wizard Dara explained, “Now is indeed the best time. This opportunity has gathered most of the wicked god’s followers, and they’re even the most fanatical and strongest followers. Only if they gather would they be able to summon the black crows. However, from their earlier fight with Ores, they’re now exhausted. As long as we seize the opportunity and take them by surprise, we will be able to get rid of them in one go. It won’t be difficult to destroy the temple of the wicked god.”

Merlin’s heart wavered. He continued to look into the distance. Sure enough, the black crows in the sky gradually disappeared while the faces of the fanatical followers revealed traces of weariness, showing that they were very fatigued.

They had just killed the powerful Ores. As a peak Eighth-level Spell Caster, Ores was not someone who was easy to kill. Thus, these wicked god worshippers did their best to kill Ores, and were now at their weakest.

There was indeed a possibility of success by following Wizard Dara’s suggestion, but there was also the possibility of failure. Even if it failed, Merlin did not have to worry. He had Traceless Wind, and coupled with the fused Pandora Demon Ability Flash Wind, his speed was so fast that even Ninth-level Spell Casters would be unable to catch up.

Thus, in the worst-case scenario, he could immediately escape from this place. He would not end up like Ores, who was killed by the black crows.

Thinking about this, Merlin nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll move together. We’ll kill them in one blow. We can’t let these wicked god believers have the chance of fighting back.”

Thus, the two began to brew their power and waited for the opportune time.

Very quickly, the moment came. When the black crows in the sky completely disappeared, the wicked god’s believers all turned away and relaxed their guard as they prepared to enter the temple.

“Now!”

At that moment, Wizard Dara roared and directly flew out. The entire sky was covered with a terrifying flame. Wizard Dara was also a powerful Wizard who was an expert in Fire-type spells.

“Shadow Assassin!”

Although Wizard Dara was the first to rush out, Merlin’s spell was obviously more effective. In a flash, the originally clear sky seemed to darken at once.

Endless Darkness Elements gathered and formed a dark area where even Mind Power could no longer probe inside. This was Merlin’s new Fifth-level Spell. With the fusion of the terrifying Pandora Demon Ability Darkness Heart, it caused Merlin’s Darkness spells to become even more powerful.

However, it was far from over. This was only the beginning, and Merlin did not dare to be careless. He had seen how terrifying the black crow’s power that was summoned by the wicked god’s believers earlier, and he was not willing to face the endless black crows.

Thus, after releasing Darkness Assassin, a cold aura appeared on his body again, and translucent lights covering hundreds of meters came crashing down, trapping dozens of followers inside.

“Glacier Country!”

With Darkness Assassin and Glacier Country, dozens of worshippers were controlled by Merlin in an instant. There was no resistance at all.

Compared to Merlin’s ease, Wizard Dara’s sudden attack did not seem to go as smoothly. Merlin turned to see that the believers who were wrapped in flames began to emit silvery light that contained a hint of divinity, and managed to resist Wizard Dara’s Flame spell.

“Foolish degenerates, you shall receive the severest judgment from God!”

While resisting the burning flames, the followers began to chant again as if praying for protection from their wicked god. Just as Merlin was about to help, faint silver light began to appear from his Glacier Country.

Unlike what Wizard Dara said, the wicked god’s believers did not seem to be killed easily by using surprise attacks.

In an instant, Merlin and Wizard Dara’s faces changed drastically. The situation had changed. It had exceeded their previous estimations and became out of their control!
