Chapter 685 - Fishing Up Easy Benefits (1/2)

As the swarm of spirits were about to engulf them, the three Priests waved their staffs and chanted out an incantation. Their bodies ignited with fierce holy flames.

When the spirits came in contact with the flames, they wailed out in pain as they were burned out of existence.

The old priest’s robes fluttered back and forth. With his entire body enshrouded by holy flames, he looked like a deity in the flesh.

“Vanquish all darkness, by the will of the God of Light…” The old priest chanted out an incantation. A pillar of light descended down on Necromancer Vorderman.

Sure enough, these three priests wouldn’t allow themselves to be killed so easily.

The elderly priest appeared to be holding something. Nie Yan focused his gaze. His heart trembled. In the hands of the priest was a chapter from the Book of Order!

The chapter emitted a dazzling light. This was a formidable holy power!

For NPCs the chapters from the Book of Order were exceptional off-hand equipment!

Nie Yan felt a warm feeling on his chest. The Great Prophet Medal emitted a faint glow, informing him there were nine chapters from the Book of Order in the vicinity. He gasped in astonishment, nearly losing his grip and falling off the ceiling.

The old priest had two chapters. As for the other seven... Nie Yan shifted his gaze toward the cloaked figure standing off in the corner. They were in Qin Han’s possession!

Could it be that Qin Han and Vorderman were running around collecting chapters from the Book of Order?

What exactly were those two planning?

Nie Yan was filled with doubt. When he killed Qin Han last time, he didn’t drop any chapters from the Book of Order. This was proof he had only started collecting them recently! In such a short period of time, he had actually acquired seven chapters! With the aid of Necromancer Vorderman, his speed was simply astonishing!

“Vorderman, hurry up. Stop fooling around,” Qin Han urged in an annoyed tone. They had already wasted enough time here.

At this moment, Vorderman waved his staff and summoned a monstrous black wraith. It let out a sharp cry and pounced toward the three priests.

“Die, you stubborn old fools!” Necromancer Vorderman cackled madly.

BANG! BANG! The two younger priests were sent flying back by the wraith.

The old priest struggled to wave his staff. He invoked a powerful holy light to defend against the wraith. Necromancer Vorderman was too strong. He stood no chance.

BANG! The wraith rammed into the old priest, sending him flying back before heavily crashing into the ground a dozen meters away. He groaned out in pain. Two chapters from the Book of Order dropped out of his hand.

Even though all of them were legendary figures, Vorderman could already be considered a demigod. The three priests were not his match.

Necromancer Vorderman's lips cracked into a satisfied smile. He had finally defeated those three priests. He started walking over to the two chapters from the Book of Order. Nie Yan became anxious. If Qin Han obtained these two chapters, he would have nine in total! Even more, he would continue collecting the others. A thought crossed Nie Yan’s mind. Should I try stealing those two chapters?

Nie Yan judged the distance. He was 100 meters away from the two chapters. Meanwhile, Vorderman was already within 20 meters of them. If he went through with it, he wasn’t even sure he could keep his own life, let alone get to the chapters before Vorderman.

Thinking to this point, Nie Yan could only give up on the idea. What surprised him a bit was that Vorderman still hadn’t discovered him. It appeared the stealthing ability of a Shadow Dancer was much greater than he originally thought. Since it was like this, he decided to stick around a while longer and watch how things would play out.

Necromancer Vorderman stood over the corpse of the old priest and let out a dastardly chuckle. “The Chapter of Essence and Chapter of Perseverance are finally in my hands. Did you powerless dregs really think you could keep them away from me? What a joke!” He bent down to pick up the chapters. As his hand came in contact with one of the chapters, his entire body froze. He let out an enraged roar, “DAMMIT! YOU RATS! WHAT DID YOU DO!?”

A powerful holy light bound Necromancer Vorderman. At this moment, the elderly priest slowly struggled back to his feet.

“You vile undead, die!” The old priest waved his staff. A raging sphere of holy flames condensed in his abdomen, rapidly expanding before swallowing him whole.

A trace of fear flashed across Necromancer Vorderman’s face. He didn’t expect such a turn of events. The three priests had hidden a powerful formation inside the chapters. He had accidentally activated it and was now completely immobilized. At this moment, the old priest detonated all the holy energy in his body to release a powerful explosion.

As death loomed over him, the red flames in Necromancer Vorderman’s eye sockets suddenly throbbed.

BOOOOOM! Nie Yan felt like his whole world had turned into a dazzling whiteness. All he could hear was a loud ringing in his ears. He couldn’t open his mouth to speak, and his mind stopped thinking as well. It was as if he were in purgatory.

Just what kind of effect did this elderly priest’s self-destruct spell have?

A long time later, the white light slowly dissipated. Nie Yan could finally see the surroundings again as the ringing in his ears gradually faded. The entire shrine was unscathed. There was no damage to it at all. Vorderman and Qin Han were collapsed in the middle of the hall, while the bodies of the three priests had already disappeared without a trace. Only the two chapters from the Book of Order remained.

The self-destruct spell was a special type of holy magic. It only affected creatures of darkness. So, Nie Yan was completely unharmed while Vorderman and Qin Han had received serious injuries.

Nie Yan’s gaze landed on the two chapters from the Book of Order. His heart trembled. He pushed off the ceiling and leapt toward the two chapters. Just as he closed in on them, he noticed from the corner of his eye Vorderman struggling back to his feet, swaying unsteadily.

Nie Yan widened his eyes in shock, a cold chill running down his spine. He still isn’t dead!?

However, there was already no turning back. Nie Yan extended his hand and shot out a web line at the two chapters.

Even though he was still in mid-air, his aim was pinpoint accurate. The web line stuck to both chapters.

With a flick of his wrist, Nie Yan pulled the two chapters into his hand.

“Got it!” Nie Yan cried out in elation, his heart racing in his chest. However, he couldn’t celebrate too early.

As Nie Yan landed on the ground, he broke into a roll to reduce the impact of the fall. Gazing over in Vorderman’s direction, he spotted Qin Han slowly getting up to his feet. The two had suffered heavy damages, especially Qin Han. His robes were torn to pieces, revealing patches of black, scorched skin. He had been shielded by Necromancer Vorderman. With his own strength, there was no way he could defend against the old priest’s self-detonation.
