Chapter 570: Unique Faceless One III

Lime used the sharp pike that her bayonet had and pierced the skull of the Flaming Bear. She killed the Flaming Bear with the help of Imiter and it turned into particles of light. The weak intelligent monsters scattered upon seeing the strongest monster die while those with less intelligence continued their attack.

Imiter and Lime teamed up with one another and disposed of the weak unintelligent monsters. They were both exhausted as soon as they killed all the monsters, but the threat is still not yet finished. An ominous magic circle suddenly manifested in front of the house of Imiter.

Lime could not understand this feeling, but she felt disgusted or rather utter repulsion from the energy that came out of that magic circle. Imiter suddenly tensed up as his entire being sensed something dangerous coming out of the portal.

A hooded individual came out of the portal and if one looked carefully then they will notice that the being did not have a face. The hooded being looked around where he landed and saw Lime, but it did not take its time to look at her. The one that the hooded being looked with great bloodlust and anger is none other than Imiter.

"Traitor!" The hooded being suddenly stated as it raised its four hands that had no specific structure.

[You are in the Presence of a Faceless Priest.]

[An emergency quest has been created for all of the players in Sonate Village.]

[An additional quest has been assigned to you due to unlocking a hidden condition.]

The Faceless Priest casted four lower tier spells at the same time which are all Mana Bullet. Four concentrated calls of mana are hurled specifically towards Imiter and ignored Lime. The little boy suddenly turned his body elastic and dodged three out of the four Mana Bullets.

"Imiter!" Lime shouted as she fired her bullet towards the Faceless Priest.

The Faceless Priest did not bother dodging as it has a barrier to protect it that is made up of miasma provided by the Dark God. It believed that the attack will not even reach its robed, but it suddenly got shocked because the bullet bypassed the barrier. 

The bullet that Lime fired struck the chest of the Faceless Priest and it screamed in pain as a mark is embedded on its body. That mark is the rune that translates to the word 'people'. The Faceless Priest tried to heal that mark using magic, but it would not heal no matter what.

The faceless priest then searched the collection of memories of what that mark meant, and it got pertrified. This mark is one of the most feared rune marks of the dark gods because it came from the True Saint. A saint that is not made using holy power that came from the gods but from the positive energy that individuals exuded.

The Faceless Priest tried to contact its god, but its message could not be sent. It noticed that it could receive instructions from its god but not converse with it. Something is blocking its message from reaching its beloved god.

The faceless priest tried to escape since it knew that delivering the news that the True Saint has been revived to its god is more important than the traitor. It started to chant the magic spell to open a breach when it heard the sound of gunfire.

"Purge!" Lime stated as a blast of golden energy came out of her bayonet.

The faceless priest screamed as its head got pierced by the attack that dealt double damage to it. The magic circle also got cancelled which overloaded the magic circuits of the Faceless Priest. 

"Purge!" Lime once again used the same spell as she saw that it is effective against the Faceless Priest. The faceless priest then return fire immediately by launching four fire balls at Lime. She then activated the skill that is present in her True Saint Armor.

"Benevolence!" Lime stated.

Her armor glowed and a dome covered her and Imiter. The four fire balls did not even dent or scratch the barrier that she made but she lost a lot of mana. Imiter then stood up as his eyes became ablaze. His worst nightmares have finally come true as the dark god that it once served has been summoned to the Pandemonium universe.

"Let me fight with you, Lime." Imiter stated as he formed his two hands into scythe like weapons.

"That being is dangerous, Imiter! Even I do not deal much damage against it." Lime stated as she saw that the damage, she dealt is only 4% of its total health.

"You do not need to worry as we only need to buy enough time for others to come. Also, your attacks are hurting it. We can win this." Imiter stated but it also sounded like he is saying it to himself.

"No mater what. I will protect you!" Lime stated as she poured mana into her bayonet.
