Chapter 98 - C98 Divine Life Link

Cold Wind managed to kill Flaviens.

Flaviens' spirit form was eliminated. Its smoky body dissipated and wisp natural energy was formed on where he died.

Then, it coursed towards General Sean. However, his body could not handle it all. Thus, it was absorbed by the Divine Mark instead.

Clink!

On the Flaviens' death, the staff that he used was left. This staff was corrugated, which is contrary to the typical straight staff.

Just like how Flaviens used it a while ago, this could destroy the order affinity of the Divine energy; therefore, dissipating it.

However, as Cold Wind looked at it, he refused to believe that the staff only had that purpose. There is something familiar to it that he did not understand.

The staff seemed to be akin to a family at the same time not.

Confusing, but that is what Cold Wind felt right now.

In the end, he chose to consult his Lord, the higher being. His Lord might know it. If not, he did not believe that Allen would not have any insights on it.

"My Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death. Please enlighten this lowly one what to do with this evil thing."

After a while, he felt the Divine Mark in his soul heated up. Then, his pupils glowed in a golden hue which enhanced his vision. At the same time, he knew that his vision has been connected to Allen, his Lord the Divine Spirit of Life and Death.

Thus, with that, he had a better view of the staff.

At the same time, his body stiffened out of nervousness.

He saw the complicated engraving of the staff. There are many intersecting lines.

Each of them overlaps one another to form a seemingly simple but complex figure.

'This is not a work of a human.' Cold Wind commented inwardly.

"This is a demonized Divine weapon. Keep it for a while, I'll be there," Allen concluded and commanded Cold Wind.

The Divine weapon could be demonized. A demonized Divine weapon simply means that the order affinity of the Divine energy is made chaotic.

Likewise, a demonic weapon could also be purified. This would mean that its chaos affinity would be put in order. Or in other words, the chaos will be turned into an order.

How is this possible? Chaos and order are linked together, without chaos, there would be no order. Likewise, without order, there would be no chaos.

This seemingly simple logic is the basis of demonic energy and Divine energy.

Meanwhile, just as Allen finished speaking, the Divine Mark within Cold Wind gushed out some of its Divine energy and condensed into an array that sealed the demonized Divine weapon.

A/N: See the ranks and such in the auxiliary chapters.

As smoky Flaviens died, the negation of energies had already disappeared and the faith and Divine energy could now freely flow.

Of one looked at the staff, it would look like it was coated with a crystal-like something.

Meanwhile, as the staff was sealed, if it could not be seen, it could not be detected.

The array used the concept of Allen's authority over death.

Most of the time, death is neglected especially when we are enjoying life. However, it was silently lurking behind us and was simply waiting for the opportunity to strike.

Again, as mentioned, this comes from the concept of a world within a leaf and leaf within the world.

…

Meanwhile, a man was holding the sword in his hand as he dashed forward. With every swing of his sword, it would be akin to splitting mountains apart.

The man is wearing a sleeveless shirt with a scarf covering the lower part of his face. At the same time, there were knives hung on his waist.

Along with that man is a group that was wearing dark clothes. Some are holding swords and spears while the others are holding tomes with them and more.

Each of the things that they are holding is a weapon they use to fight.

These weapons contained traces of Divine energies. However, they did not contain any traces of a Divine Spirit's authority.

This group has been challenging its limits for a long time now.

This group is none other than the first generation of the Plague River Church.

They had lots of improvements ever since they left for a journey. Of course, although they are far from the rest of the followers, they are extremely close to their Lord.

At this moment, they are fighting mummies.

The mummies that looked scrawny and fragile had the strength of a general. Furthermore, they come in a great number.

Alone, they are easy to deal with. However, if they come in a great number, they would be akin to ants besieging a bigger insect.

But the Plague River Church is not a big insect themselves. They are merely a small colony of ants. Thus, if a bigger colony of ants attacked them, they would be dead in no time.

Indeed, they are small by themselves. But, with the help of their Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death, they would be bigger than mountains.

At this moment, the mummies are coming from all directions surrounding them.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Meanwhile, an unexpected event happened. The Plague River Church dropped their weapons. Not because of fear but because they clasped their hands and prayed.

"Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death. Your name spreads through the land. You are the master of Life and Death. Cleanse this abomination of death. No one is worthy for the authority of death but you alone, Lord."

They said the same words as if they are of one mind.

Well, indeed, they are rather of one mind.

Plague River Priest might not be a genius in terms of spiritual energy; however, he is a genius in terms of faith energy.

He created a technique that allows one to have partially link minds using the seed of faithfulness.

This might not be much at normal times, however, this s very useful when war comes.

Plague River Priest called this technique the Divine Life Link.
