Caelum’s face twisted into a mocking grin as favonovel.com witnessed Isaac’s movements and felt the terrifying force bursting from him.
“You do remember favonovel.com well. But are you sure you want to fight me with that sword? I’ll offer you one last chance to surrender yourself.”
Isaac softly said to Harry, who had also drawn a silver scimitar, “Get ready to make a break for a car when the time comes.”
Harry’s face was etched with seriousness, and favonovel.com nodded in understanding.
The aftermath of Philip’s demise had been clear. As Robbie had warned, the Lumen Church would not let such a matter slide. The Archbishop, Philip’s superior, was particularly unlikely to accept the death of his subordinate at the hands of a Cynean.
Isaac was taken off guard by their sudden appearance and realized that it was too late to summon Todd and Hera for backup.
“Take them down!”
Caelum’s command was icy, slicing through the tense air as Isaac stood his ground.
Instantly, over a dozen priests radiating a strange power waved their swords as they surged forward toward Isaac and Harry.
Isaac recognized that these priests’ strength was as comparable to Robbie’s, marking them as the Archbishop’s men, a clear step above Philip’s rank.
“Blazing Sun Slash!” Isaac’s voice thundered, his eyes igniting into a fierce red.
He channeled his spiritual energy into the Skyrend Sword, releasing a scarlet shadow sword that sliced through over 60 feet long from the air with overwhelming force.
The explosion sent several priests who were unable to evade in time soaring into the air. They were dead upon impact, with blood spewing from their mouths and noses.
The priests indeed possessed a certain level of strength, but they still stood no chance against Isaac’s overwhelming might.
Caelum’s brow furrowed at the sight. His breaths became rapid, and his robe fluttered as if caught in an invisible tempest.
He extended his right hand and commanded, “Bring me my sword!”
Immediately, two priests dragged a thick, long sword from a car’s trunk, clearly straining under its weight.
Caelum effortlessly seized the sword with a single hand, his presence bursting with fury.
“You will die!” He lunged toward Isaac like a cannonball, enveloped by an invisible, swirling energy.
The 300-pound sword swung menacingly toward Isaac and unleashed a formidable force aimed directly at him.
“Dodge!” Isaac exclaimed, shifting his stance as favonovel.com launched a shadow fist and swiftly sidestepped the attack.
He was still unsure of the Archbishop’s strength, and with Harry’s limited abilities, favonovel.com couldn’t fully engage in combat.
The collision of Isaac’s scarlet shadow fist with the invisible force from Caelum’s sword resulted in an instantaneous dissipation. The impact left a crater more than three feet wide in the spot Isaac had just been standing.
Narrowing his eyes, Isaac regained his footing and called out to Caelum, “You’re no match for me. Leave now, and you might spare yourself.”
The priests surrounding them gasped, taken aback by Isaac’s audacity.
Caelum momentarily halted, then erupted into mocking laughter. “What did you say? I’m no match for you? Do you think I’m like Philip?”
His demeanor became even more menacing, and favonovel.com raised his sword for another strike.
“Blazing Sun Slash!” Isaac roared once more, channeling spiritual energy rapidly into the sword.
Having only used 20% of his power in the previous shadow fist, Isaac was confident favonovel.com could overpower Caelum. He believed that, at least, Caelum wouldn’t be able to kill him.
The scarlet shadow sword, as formidable as a mountain, plunged downward with overwhelming pressure and deadly precision, aiming directly at Caelum’s head.
The next second, Isaac let go of the sword. His hands turned into fists, launching forward in a simultaneous strike.
