Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 223 - : Contained Object of the Ancient Castle Bureau

Chapter 223 -223: Contained Object of the Ancient Castle Bureau

A severed head, its sullied brain pulp flowing out, a hazy soul was rising up, initially in the guise of a middle-aged man, then it began to undergo violent mutations, blood-red vines, wailing mouths, twisted bodies…

Hum!

Mid-transformation, a hand reached out, flames of burning light receding quickly to restore calm.

Tang Qi, having just fed another piece of fuel into his Melter, slightly lifted his head, the golden light in his eyes gradually fading. Before him, the Pollution Pool, having lost its source, was rapidly deactivating, taking advantage of the filth still obscuring the view.

Tang Qi stretched out his hands, and a red, dazzling fire burst forth in the palm of his hand like a spectacular firework display, “burning” all the contaminants in the sealed space to ash.

Almost at the same moment, with the Knight’s Sword no longer maintaining it, the sealed space began to dissipate, a repulsive force ejecting Tang Qi.

When he reappeared on the white stone plaza, what everyone saw was a tall, imposing figure holding an exaggeratedly large Jason cleaver in one hand, and in the other hand, a simple Knight’s Sword.

Next to him, the bisected head was rolling out.

“Done.”

Tang Qi seemed to finally remember the “persona” he prepared for himself. After playing the role of “Savior” for once, he appeared before everyone with an image of cool detachment.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

The crowd’s gaze was first drawn to the severed head at Tang Qi’s feet.

Then they looked eagerly at Tang Qi… and the Knight’s Sword in his hand.

Holy Confessor!

The Knight Sword of Martin Sims!

Even rookies who had just stepped into the Mysterious Side knew that it was undoubtedly a High Order Curio.

Tang Qi initially thought so too until a special image appeared in his eyes.

[Curios: A completely ordinary Knight’s Sword.]

[State: Intact.]

[Information Fragment One: An ordinary Knight’s Sword, casually taken up by an Ascetic named Martin Sims to suppress a piece of the Evil God’s intestines. The Power of Confession it contained has mostly dissipated, and when the last bit of the Power of Confession vanishes, it too will disappear with the wind.]

[Information Fragment Two: Those who are not acknowledged by Sims cannot wield this Knight’s Sword.]

[Information Fragment Three: You have not been acknowledged by Sims!]

…

“Hmph.”

The last Information Fragment almost made Tang Qi summon the power of the Melter just to destroy this useless sword.

Although he maintained his cool demeanor on the surface, he couldn’t help but roar inside, luckily still with a sliver of rationality persuading himself.

“Calm down, calm down, it doesn’t matter if you’re not acknowledged, even if you were, it would be hard to use it. The Bright Church will not allow a relic of Martin Sims to fall into other hands, especially a Knight’s Sword that can suppress an Evil God.”

“So, it’s best to just use it to scam the Church.”

“No one can take away my spoils without paying a price,”

Tang Qi coldly snorted, then firmly stated.

Everyone then saw Tang Qi dragging a blade and holding a sword, walking straight to the side of Sith, who was lying before the ruins, struggling to heal himself with the Holy Light. Tang Qi hesitated for a moment, as if he was reluctant to sit on the dirty ground, but eventually crouched down.

Dragging the large cleaver behind him and placing the Knight Sword in front of both of them, he spoke in a detached tone, “Interested in buying the sword?”

Sith: “…”

Hall and the Transcendents: “…”

Everyone thought that the image of this strong savior of Messer City suddenly seemed to crumble, but soon they recalled Tang Qi’s criticism of the Confessor. Since he was someone bold enough to say that Martin Sims and the Bright Church were not up to par, his current open and honest act of selling the Confessor Knight Sword seemed reasonable.

Sith, still with a large hole in his chest, coughed a few times, then replied with a smile, “You saved Messer City. I think the higher-ups of the Church would be willing to buy back Lord Sims’ Knight Sword at a reasonable price.”

Seeing the old man so cooperative, Tang Qi’s mouth curled into a smile. He casually stuck the Knight Sword into the ground and began to chat with Sith.

More precisely, Tang Qi was seeking knowledge about the Mysterious Side from Sith. While the transaction had not officially started and their rapport was good, Tang Qi seized the moment to seek knowledge. Who wouldn’t want mysterious information offered freely by a Bright Knight?

Although Tang Qi’s combat power had surpassed most Professionals, he knew very well that in a one-on-one fight, he might not be a match for Sith, the Bright Knight. The decisive factor in his ability to take down Gary Ross, aside from some unexpected elements, was still the Melting Furnace Power’s restraint over the Evil God.

If he lost the Melting Furnace Power and relied only on Monster Power Technique, Fighting Skill, Curios, and the witchcraft from Ralph’s notebook, his strength would indeed reach Professional Level, but it would definitely not be enough to resolve this disaster.

As Sith unilaterally imparted Mysterious knowledge, the reinforcements Hall and Sith had summoned finally arrived.

Gary Ross was dead, and the Evil God’s Intestines had been sacrificed by Tang Qi, but the Pollution Pool left in the sky was still in operation; the citizens of Messer City were still twisting and falling into corruption. The black curtain of rain and poison gas enveloped the city; such a massive “endgame” was beyond the capacity of any individual present to solve alone.

However, with the Ancient Castle Bureau working together with the Bright Church, it was a different story.

The first to arrive were members of the Bright Church from Secret Phoenix State, a group of “Priests” shrouded entirely in black robes. They appeared like ghosts on the battlefield, which resembled ruins, and first greeted Sith, who was lying beside Tang Qi.

The Priests then gathered together, and beneath their black robes, a chant that soothed the soul began to rise. In their midst, a small, Sun-like object appeared—it was a white-winged orb blinking in and out of sight, now hanging over the entirety of Messer City.

“Disperse the sins!”

“Boom!”

Accompanying the collective shout of the Priests, the already bright light of the orb burst forth in a monumental explosion. Its gentle, holy radiance instantly replaced the Pollution Pool; at that moment, Messer City became like daytime.

Soon, it began to rain again.

But this time it was different. A vast canopy of white rain descended, lasting for several seconds.

Within those seconds, all the “Pollution” within Messer City was cleansed, and the citizens in the midst of corruption and transformation started to revert from their monstrous forms. Exhausted, their faces blank and confused; they slumped onto the streets or within their homes.

Their state at that moment was such that they probably thought they were dreaming.

As time went on, they would eventually wake up and realize what had befallen them and what had happened to Messer City as a whole.

It was during this time that a truck with a flamboyant design, seemingly coated with a special paint, drove onto the battlefield with a thunderous rumble.

Several Black-clothed Agents quickly descended from the truck. After performing extremely complicated operations, the doors of the well-sealed truck compartment opened amidst the hissing of steam, revealing its contents.

Even Tang Qi involuntarily took a sharp breath.

Feeling an ominous premonition, in the depths of his eyes, a rich ghost light was gathering.
