Chapter 862 - Star
"God's Eye. "
A huge eye on the pope's back widened and released a purple flash forward.
"!!!" The four experts came to a halt when the purple light passed them.
"What is this? I can't move." One of the experts gritted his teeth and looked at his body. Despite using all his power, he somehow couldn't move his body.
"This should be the famous Eye Ability the pope has. The Divine Technique unique to those from the Vatican. This is the reason why they usually don't take off their blindfold." One of them recognized the pope's ability and informed the others.
Unfortunately, it was too late. They had been trapped by this eye.
"Hurry up and break free from this technique."
"Use all your Magic Power!"
The experts from the Griffith Family started to panic as they would be vulnerable to any attacks from Mythical Rank Experts.
This was also the reason why whenever the pope went outside, he would be protected by the four Great Holy Knights.
Pope Franz never killed anyone because his ability was focused on defensive skill, restraining ability, and inhuman Future Eyes that could predict the enemies' movements. He had been using the defensive skills and future eyes to protect Theo this whole time.
If not, he wouldn't be able to stop all these Mythical Rank Experts for so long. Now that Theo had received his words a bit, he thought there was no need to hold back anymore and restricted all these Mythical Rank Experts.
Normally, the pope would give them a second chance and let them go back as long as they didn't attack him again. Or if they still attacked him even after all this, the four Great Holy Knights would finish them off when the pope took away their ability to move.
However, since the pope's mission was only to bring Theo to his destination safely, he simply flew away as soon as he used that skill.
Theo also left the scene. But after a while, he took a look at his back, wondering if he should kill them or not.
'No. Even if they're restricted, I won't be able to kill them. Their Magic Power alone is enough to disperse my attacks." Theo let out a long sigh. After all, the pope wouldn't kill any of them.
In the end, he chose to let it go and focus on his goal.
Even though Theo was shaking his head in disappointment, the pope still smiled, knowing that Theo was someone that could be taught.
'He's indeed a good child.' Pope Franz thought while closing his eyes again.
…
Italy.
The building that was used as the battlefield for Valerie and Eric had been ruined.
However, Valerie dropped to her knees as she kept panting, not being able to hold out against Eric. Her wound contributed greatly to this, so she knew she was going to die here.
Eric, on the other hand, hadn't suffered any injuries. Valerie had indeed forced him to use half of his Magic Power from those illusions, but it wasn't enough.
"This is the end. I should applaud you for holding this long. However, I won't let you buy more time." Eric extended his hand and moved forward, trying to blow Valerie's head away with all the Magic Power he had to kill her.
However, when his hand was about to hit her, another hand emerged from the side. The hand was covered in golden flame and released an even more powerful Magic Power that blew all the magic power away.
The shock wave from the clash between the Magic Power shook the area and blew away all the rubbles and even the cloud of dust scattered around.
"!!!" Both Valerie and Eric widened their eyes, never expecting to see the man here.
"Marzio!"
"Big Brother."
Marzio's expression was grim as his rage leaked out of his eyes. If a gaze could kill, Eric would have died hundreds of times already.
"That's enough. I'm not going to let you harm my sister again." Marzio said with a trace of killing intent.
The pressure coming from the clash of their Magic Power became even stronger and even shattered some rubbles in the area.
Suddenly, Eric leaped back as though he had lost in the confrontation. However, the real reason he retreated was that he didn't understand how Marzio could slip through his illusion.
After all, he should have been able to sense him when he entered the illusion.
The moment he landed 30 feet away from Marzio, Eric raised his hands and clutched them, activating the illusion again.
The building was about to be restored as the rubbles began to fly back to their original place.
Marzio raised his forefinger as a golden light shone on the tip of his finger.
"O' Star, guide me." Marzio waved his hand and released five star-shaped lights that flew in all directions as though they were random.
However, Eric understood what Marzio planned to do. He even shouted, "No!"
Eric created a few more pillars to stop Marzio's lights but to no avail. The stars somehow flew around like they were living creatures.
All of them avoided all the obstructions on their path.
As soon as they reached their destination, the stars expanded and shone brightly.
Somehow all the illusions started to melt as though they were in front of the real stars.
"You… How do you know?!" Eric gritted his teeth, never expecting Marzio to find his weakness.
"Everything is the star's guidance." Marzio waved down his forefinger as the sixth star fell down, cracking the illusion realm from the outside.
When it shattered the illusion realm, the star shone again, melting the remaining barrier until they were nowhere to be seen.
"…" Eric realized Marzio had been prepared for this one attack. So, he knew he should be retreating right now.
But Marzio stated with a calm tone, "You have harmed my sister and now you want to go… The stars have guided me… And they said it's checkmate."
The moment Marzio said those words, Eric's body trembled as he raised his head, finding an old man accompanied by two armors.
A huge white-colored circle appeared, forming a pentagram within the light circle… Leonardo gradually opened his eyes as everything was ready.
