Chapter 274 With Me Here, None of You Can Touch Her Part 2
With this elder's words, the others couldn't help but show longing and greed.
It seemed that cultivating a Saintess would also earn them rewards from the divine statue. The higher the Saintess's talent, the more attractive the radiant blessings they would be rewarded with by the Radiant divine statue.
After the greed, there were still some more sensible elders.
"Wait, I heard they were also summoned by Malvin. Will it be okay for us to do this..."
"Hmph, this is our Temple's family matter. No matter how powerful Malvin is, he can't interfere!"
"That's right. Unless he wants to go against all the Fate Track churches in the world!"
"Then there's only one last question. If we train a new Saintess, what about... Freya?"
At these words, the elders still had some hesitation.
After all, they had also invested a lot of effort into Freya.
But...
"With a new Saintess, the old one naturally becomes useless."
"The Temple can't possibly have two at the same time. Freya must disappear."
"Don't waste her. Let's sacrifice Freya to the divine statue. Consider it her best fate as a Saintess."
"Seconded."
"Agreed."
"Heh!."
The last "heh" was obviously out of place.
The six elders immediately frowned, not yet realizing who among them disagreed.
After a second or two, they came back to their senses, causing each elder to instantly feel a chill down their spines, with some even directly standing up from their chairs.
Because it was a man's voice.
How could there be a man among them?
"Who?!"
The six Radiant Elders, greatly shocked and alarmed, nervously looked around. Only then did they discover that at some point, someone was actually hiding in the shadows of their meeting room.
Reji stepped out from the darkness.
Before he could even speak, a dazzling radiance flashed from the side. It was a vigilant elder directly using a spell, a sixth-tier spell, Extreme Light Spear, directly attacking Reji.
As for Reji... Experience tales at empire
Without even turning his head, he slightly raised his hand, and the spear of magic, filled with rich radiant power, was forcibly stopped in midair during its flight.
Then, the entire form of the light spear seemed to wail as if being ravaged by immense magical power. With a "snap," it completely collapsed and shattered.
"W-What?!"
They could also neutralize sixth-tier spells.
But for Reji to do it like this, without using any additional spells, as if relying solely on the dense magical power around him, was enough to make the structure of a sixth-tier spell collapse without even getting close...
Such a terrifying magical power fluctuation made the six Radiant Elders extremely frightened.
Of course, what shocked them even more was that as Reji walked out of the shadows, revealing his true appearance...
"H-Hero?!"
After recognizing Reji's identity, the elders felt slightly relieved. Although they didn't understand the Hero's powerful strength...
Glancing at each other, one of the great elders asked with a hint of nervousness, "Lord Hero, you're here to..."
Before she could finish half of her sentence, Reji's figure disappeared. The next moment, a tremendous force struck her face.
Slap!
Reji didn't waste words and slapped this elder, sending her flying.
The elder's skin, which was well-maintained and glossy thanks to the holy water, swelled up rapidly under Reji's slap. She spat out blood from her mouth, and even several of her teeth were knocked out.
"Y-You!"
Reji's speed was too fast. The other five elders were still in a daze, perhaps too shocked by what had just happened.
After all, the six of them were all lofty existences, the leaders of the entire Radiant Temple, the revered and respected Radiant Great Elders. When had they ever...
Slap!
Another slap.
Splat!
Another elder, spitting blood, was slapped away by Reji. Her voluptuous body heavily slammed into the temple wall, twitching non-stop, unable to even stand up.
Finally, the commotion here made the Templar Knight guards outside a bit curious.
Several guards quickly walked to the door and asked the elders inside uncertainly, "It seemed like there was some noise just now. Do the elders need any assistance?"
Inside the room, with two slapped away, the remaining four Radiant Elders trembled before Reji, no longer having the aura of elders.
They didn't even think about resisting or escaping anymore.
To them, Reji was no longer an enemy but a feeling of hopeless powerlessness.
Afterwards, Reji walked up to an extremely frightened elder, showing no mercy or tenderness, not that they could be called tender anyway.
Although these elders all appeared to be eternally youthful and beautiful women, in reality, they were all maintained by holy water. Their internal bodies had long been unknown how old they were.
He directly grabbed the elder's slender neck like an eagle catching a chick, lifting her entire body up. The elder's limbs flailed about as her face turned red from suffocation.
In front of Reji, their proud seventh-tier strength seemed like a mere decoration, like a baby against an adult, with no power to resist.
Now suspended in the air with Reji gripping her neck, perhaps due to extreme fear, this Radiant Elder suddenly clenched her thighs together. Then, a foul odor began to permeate the room as certain liquids flowed down her inner thighs.
"N-Nothing's wrong!"
"Don't come in! Don't! Get out! All of you, get out!"
The terrified elders naturally understood Reji's intention and immediately shouted at the guards to stay away. Although the guards had never seen the elders in such a state of desperation, they quickly left in the end.
Seeing the elders' cooperation, Reji casually tossed aside the elder he had been choking, who was on the verge of fainting from suffocation.
Afterwards, he walked to the conference table and sat in the main seat, looking down coldly at the six disheveled Radiant Elders in the room.
"Crawl over here."
Reji crooked his finger. The remaining three elders didn't dare disobey and truly crawled on all fours like dogs, not even caring about their sacred robes. They stuck their buttocks out and prostrated on the ground in front of Reji.
"I came here to tell you two things."
"First, how should I put it..."
"With me here, don't even think about touching her."
The elders weren't fools and clearly understood who the "her" Reji referred to.
"Second…"
"Take me to see your divine statue."
