Chapter 150 An Su is Tortured for the First Time

"it seems you have done quite some re

"if i had left a bit earlier... it wouldn't be my turn."

the crimson bishop's robe fluttered without any wind.

the brilliance within merlin's pure white pupils grew ever more intense, as he softly chanted incantations, ignoring the surrounding tempest, the iron cavalry had set foot in the gardens of heaven, with lightning scorching everything, countless pure white petals turned to ash beneath the hooves of the cavalry.

in the eyes of an su, myriad splendid laws dissipated and then reconverged, myriad intricate and beautiful magic circuits appeared around merlin and then receded in an instant.

this was the magic of a demigod.

calling it 'magic' hardly seemed fitting; it was more apt to call it a 'miracle'.

the choir's sacred hymns echoed in the ears,

a great angel manifested behind merlin, a face so breathtaking and holy it overpowered all else in the world with its beauty.

the great angel's eyes were pure and flawless white, much like merlin's pupils, spreading six divine wings that filled half of the sky. he held a holy spear composed of brilliant light, slowly descending upon the iron cavalry, like a judgment.

[judgment of light]

[holy rank. demigod magic]

[blessing magic]

[magic power consumption: unknown]

as merlin chanted the final prayer, light showered down.

the divine light tenderly stroked across everything, with blood spurting alongside the light.

countless heads soared into the sky, as all the iron cavalry were beheaded in an instant, the soaring blood mingled with the warm holy light, creating a uniquely sublime beauty.

the light of judgment,

one judgment, and all were slain.

[effect: the guardian angel makes a judgment call on all targets, beings of a lower rank than the caster will be beheaded] enjoy new stories from empire

[note: merlin andre is a devout radiant bishop. according to his many years of research, death can also be a rare branch of the holy light]

"..."

an su felt that all before looked rather heartwarming: the singing, the beautiful angel sisters, and the blessing of the all-encompassing holy light was rather healing, only for it to abruptly end in heads dropping dead.

seeing an su's confusion, merlin explained, "the first part of this magic i copied from my teacher, but the latter part is my own creation."

he was somewhat surprised by an su's reaction.

witnessing such a battle at the demigod level normally would have left a third order saint trembling in fear, yet this young an su, after his initial shock, gradually calmed down and even appeared to be lost in thought.

"i copied and then slightly adapted it,"

"to focus more of the holy light deep within the brain."

so, it turned into blowing up heads... an su stared at merlin.

"may i ask where is your teacher now?" an su inquired.

"oh, he has retired, the radiant shepherd of the previous generation."

when mentioning his teacher, a shadow seemed to pass over the holy light in merlin's eyes, perhaps reminiscing about the times spent with his mentor,

"i never really understood why he retired so early."

an su felt he knew the reason.

"so you plan to?" an su asked tentatively.

"as you've seen, you've already learned the two greatest secrets of magic creation. now it's your turn to copy this epic magic and make it your own—that should be quite simple."

merlin showed a calm and serene smile to an su, the smile so kind and peaceful, his eyes radiating pure white sincere holy light.

a god of law?

a god of law is gold.
