Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple
Chapter 608 581-We Were All Deceived
Chapter 608 Chapter581-We Were All Deceived
The moment John and Shatras stepped through the portal from the Dark Realm back into Storm City, they found themselves right in the midst of the battlefield where Flame Knight and Duke Arsena were engaged in combat.
The sudden appearance of John took both Flame Knight and Duke Arsena by surprise.
However, they quickly adapted to the situation.
Flame Knight shifted his focus away from Duke Arsena and Natasha, launching two powerful dark magic spells directly at John instead.
These formidable spells prevented John, who had just emerged from the portal, from immediately joining the fight.
Moreover, Shatras, who was severely injured, was right by John's side.
Duke Arsena, of course, was not about to stand idly by and watch Flame Knight's attack succeed.
The Duke promptly cast a divine protection spell, safeguarding John and Shatras for the moment.
Thanks to Duke Arsena's intervention, John narrowly avoided Flame Knight's assault.
He first ensured Shatras was in a relatively safe location before diving into the fray himself.
However, this time, John had no intention of collaborating with Duke Arsena and Natasha to completely eradicate Flame Knight.
John merely wanted to inform Flame Knight of a crucial development that had occurred within the Dark Realm.
"You continuing the battle with us in Storm City is utterly pointless. Are you not aware of the situation that has arisen in the Dark Realm, something all Devils dread?"
John articulated, casting a wave of confusion over everyone present.
However, Flame Knight, being a Devil, was not easily persuaded.
He suspected John's words were merely a tactic to disrupt his focus.
As such, Flame Knight disregarded John's statement, persisting in his assault.
Nonetheless, John did not cease his attempts to convince him. John was acutely aware of the critical need to inform Flame Knight that the Mystery Saint had been resurrected.
Given the resurrection of the Mystery Saint, it was clear that this entity now represented the most formidable adversary for both the Order Faction and the Dark Faction.
It was imperative for the Dark Faction and Order Faction to unite in vanquishing the Mystery Saint.
"I must inform you that the Mystery Saint has been resurrected! And his revival took place within your Dark Realm! Do you not deem it necessary to return to the Dark Realm to thwart the subsequent actions of the Mystery Saint?!"
John's revelation profoundly startled Flame Knight.
Even Duke Arsena and Natasha, standing beside John, found the news utterly astonishing.
The idea that the Mystery Saint could suddenly be resurrected was beyond their imagination.
From their perspective, had not all their actions been focused around the Dark Faction?
The emergence of the Ocean Sage had indeed implicated the Mystery Faction, but how could the Mystery Faction possibly leverage the Order Faction's maneuvers to resurrect the Mystery Saint?
Initially, Flame Knight shared the same confusion and disbelief as Duke Arsena and Natasha, questioning every word John said.
However, it didn't take long for Flame Knight to sense the dramatic changes unfolding within the Dark Realm, realizing that John had not been lying.
Noticing the shift in Flame Knight's expression, John pressed on, "What I must tell you is that we have all been deceived. The attacks by your Dark Faction on Storm City, and our Order Faction's assaults on the Dark Realm, were all based on misinformation spread by the Mystery Faction.
Have you forgotten why your Dark Faction launched attacks against our Order Faction? Do you not recall who provided you with that plan?"
John's series of rhetorical questions led Flame Knight to connect all the dots regarding past events.
It dawned on Flame Knight that Kingserp might have been deceiving them all along.
In the moment of this realization, Flame Knight's gaze turned towards Duke Arsena's palace, only to confirm that not a single demon remained within its walls.
Kingserp, who had entered Duke Arsena's palace, had also vanished without a trace.
This confirmed that Kingserp had indeed been exploiting Flame Knight all along.
Upon realizing this, Flame Knight was engulfed in extreme rage.
It was inconceivable to him that as a Devil, he had been manipulated by an adventurer, and it was only through John's intervention that he became aware of this deceit.
In his fury, Flame Knight summoned an immensely powerful dark energy, creating a wall of devil flames so potent it seemed capable of incinerating everything in its path.
"Do not assume that just because you've provided me with some assistance, I shall express gratitude! My failure this time was merely due to the misleading influences of you damnable adventurers! Next time, I will not be so lenient with you Order Faction insects!"
Flame Knight declared, before choosing to teleport away. For Flame Knight, securing the safety of the Dark Realm was of paramount importance.
If the Mystery Saint had indeed been resurrected within the Dark Realm, all Devils needed to rush back to besiege the Mystery Saint.
Even with the combined forces of all Devils, success was far from guaranteed.
Following Flame Knight's departure, the other demons from the Dark Faction also vanished.
The crisis looming over Storm City was thus averted.
Duke Arsena, who had been strenuously fighting until now, could finally cease his efforts and collapsed to the ground.
Natasha, standing beside Duke Arsena, was also in a dire state.
John first checked the conditions of Duke Arsena and Natasha.
After ensuring that they were not in critical condition, he then turned his attention to Shatras, whose injuries were significantly more severe than the other two.
John reasoned that if Shatras was not in grave danger, then Duke Arsena and Natasha were likely also manageable.
"Try not to speak! You've sustained severe injuries in the previous battle! We no longer need to worry about the safety of Storm City for the time being! The Dark Faction is unlikely to launch another attack on Storm City soon. I will ensure you're returned to the Naga tribe as quickly as possible because it's only there that you can recover to your optimal state swiftly."
John was well aware that Shatras had a lot he wanted to say.
However, John felt there were more pressing matters at hand.
Ultimately, Shatras heeded John's advice, refraining from further conversation and simply accompanied John back to the Naga tribe.
Upon their return to the Naga tribe, Shatras and John met with the Naga Queen.
After carefully listening to everything John had to say, the expression on the Naga Queen's face turned quite grim.
Although the Naga Queen had hoped that John and his companions would eliminate the Abyssal Fearmonger, and their mission had indeed been successful, the threats she now faced had become even greater.
The Naga Queen had never anticipated that the Mystery Saint could harness the power of the Abyssal Fearmonger to resurrect successfully.
"I might have underestimated the capabilities of the Mystery Saint! I genuinely believed it was impossible for him to resurrect within the Dark Realm!
I can imagine how alarmed you must have been encountering such a situation. Thankfully, you all managed to return safely. Our Order Faction is unlikely to face many threats in the near future.
As John mentioned earlier, the Dark Faction will soon be engaged in a decisive battle with the Mystery Faction. Should the Mystery Faction gain the upper hand, the Dark Faction might seek our assistance.
If the Dark Faction emerges victorious, the Mystery Saint will be slain once again. Should the Mystery Saint be killed again, the cost of his resurrection would be significantly higher."
"Regardless of who wins or loses between the Dark Faction and the Mystery Faction, it is good news for us. After all, both factions are our adversaries."
The Naga Queen meticulously analyzed the current situation.
She and John both felt that after the series of events they had experienced, it was time for them to take a moment to patiently recuperate.
The assault on the Dark Realm had left all the Order Faction's mightiest in a dire state.
Every powerful member of the Order Faction needed time to rest and recover.
Therefore, John decided to leave Natasha in the Naga tribe and proceeded to Southern Harbor.
In John's view, since the Mystery Eye Gemstone was obtained in Southern Harbor, the Ocean Sage there might provide him with some answers.
