Chapter 1333: A Trial

The necromancers nearby were excited when they heard this. They held their breaths and listened quietly.
Chadwick opened his mouth, thinking he had nowhere to run.
Fang Heng was most likely the one who caused the Holy Mountain to explode.
Was there anything in the world that Fang Heng did not dare to do? Chadwick probed again, “I heard that something happened in Ochebrino?” Thinking back to the Holy Court’s headquarters, Fang Heng was still confused about the explosion on the Holy Mountain. He could not help but say, “Yes, I wanted to go over there to get something, but I accidentally made a bit of commotion.”
This was an admission, right?
Chadwick smiled wryly.
Was it really just a bit of a commotion?
After the huge explosion, the Holy Court would probably be reduced from a super-sized force to a normal force.
In the past, the Holy Court had spared no effort in suppressing necromancy, almost causing the legacy of necromancy to disappear. This time, the Holy Court had weakened, and necromancy flourished under Fang Heng’s leadership. It had already become one of the largest spell disciplines on the continent.
If this continued, it would be a problem if the Holy Court could still survive for a few years.
It was unknown who took the lead, but the crowd of necromancers started clapping.
Fang Heng was stunned when he heard the applause. He turned around and looked at the necromancers around him, shaking his head in his heart.
“No wonder, they’re just a bunch of elementary necromancers.”
The elementary necromancer was still full of vigor and was not calm at all. If it were the necromancer who had been cultivating for hundreds of years, they would not care about the life and death of the Holy Court and whether they were enemies. They only wanted to do research.
He did not have any fighting spirit and only wanted to torture everyone to death throughout his long life.
As he spoke, Chadwick brought Fang Heng through layers of encirclement and inspection to enter the mining area.
The dark light screen formed by the seven ghost towers firmly locked the plague aura within.
Fang Heng focused his attention on the entrance of the mining area ahead.
After hearing the news that Fang Heng was coming, Warren also rushed over with his men.
He had been busy for the whole day, and his clothes were stained with a gray aura.
Warren wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to Fang Heng, “I’ve worked with the Mage Association to build a magic barrier. The concentration of the plague aura is temporarily under control, but this is only temporary. The plague aura is getting stronger and stronger, and the defensive barrier needs to be continuously strengthened.”
The president and several vice presidents of the Empire’s Mage Association came with Warren.
After all, Fang Heng was one of the vice presidents of the Mage Association, and he had been in the limelight recently: The large-scale field magic summoned by the sacred tree broke through the barbarian army, and then he killed the archbishop of the Holy Court with the forbidden spell.
In addition, the rumors about the abyssal demon were also disturbing.
The Mage Association sent a large number of people to support them.
In addition, many feudal lords who had sworn allegiance to Tang Mingyue also brought their capable subordinates to help.
Even with the help of so many people, they were still at a loss after coming into contact with the plague aura.
The more they studied it, the more depressed they felt.
The plague aura was too terrifying.
Before Fang Heng rushed back, they had already tried many methods, but none of them had been effective against the plague aura.
Randolf felt uneasy and nodded at Fang Heng. He said, “President Fang Heng, there are too many people in Lincoln City. Once the abyssal demon breaks out, they will be the first to bear the brunt of the demon’s attack. It is best to evacuate as soon as possible for safety reasons.”
“Yes, I’ll control it. If necessary, we’ll evacuate some people and mitigate the risk.”
“Yes, that’s what I mean.”
“It will take some time before the abyssal demon breaks the seal. There’s no need for that for the time being. I’ll go in and take a look first.”
“Alright.”
Fang Heng exchanged a few simple words with the people from the Mage Association before walking into the depths of the mining area.
Other than him, no one else could stay inside the plague aura for a long time, so he could only enter the mine alone to investigate.
The thick plague aura had already drowned the entire entrance of the mine.
As they watched Fang Heng gradually disappear into the black fog, the capable and unusual people who had just arrived were all surprised.
That terrifying aura was extremely dangerous just by coming into direct contact with it, yet Fang Heng actually ignored it.
Soon, Fang Heng followed the tunnel he had dug earlier and entered the underground abyss again.
The journey was safe until he arrived before the familiar large-scale sealing magic array.
Fang Heng looked around and pressed his hand on the magic array.
Buzz…!
The magic array flashed.
For a moment, the world spun, followed by a sense of weightlessness. He entered the sealed space again.
Fang Heng immediately changed into his bat form and flapped his wings as he slowly flew down the abyss.
At the bottom, the abyssal demon was still in an extremely irritable state.
The black plague aura kept materializing, and even Fang Heng’s vision was blocked by it.
Helpless, Fang Heng could only rely on the sound of the abyssal demon struggling against the iron chains to determine the approximate location. It was not easy for him to grope to the bottom and return to his human form.
“Dong! Dong dong!!”
The abyssal demon struggled violently and kept banging its body against the wall. The metal chains that pierced into its body shook crazily, showing signs of gradually breaking free.
Cracks had already appeared on the walls that were holding the chains.
...
“I’m afraid it won’t be long.”
Fang Heng muttered to himself as he assessed the current situation. With a flick of his wrist, the Book of Oaths appeared in his palm.
The faint light emitted by the Book of Oaths was immediately swallowed by the surrounding black fog.
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
16 remnant chapters flew out of the Book of Oaths and floated around.
The skill description in the Book of Oaths did not mention absorbing the plague aura’s power, but Fang Heng had tried it once by chance when he was investigating.
He was certain that the Saint’s remnant chapter had the effect of absorbing the power of the abyssal demon.
Now, he only needed to think of a way to replicate what he had done back then and try to extract the power of the abyssal demon with the help of the Saint’s remnant chapter!
Fang Heng stood at the bottom of the abyss, furthest away from the abyssal demon. He carefully controlled the remnant chapter to approach the abyssal demon.
“Chi, chi…”
The Saint’s remnant chapter was already close to the struggling abyssal demon.
...
But there was no movement!
What was going on? Can’t the remnant chapter absorb the remaining energy?
Fang Heng frowned as he carefully recalled the scene when the Saint’s remnant chapter was triggered.
Oh, right.
He remembered that the Saint’s remnant chapter didn’t work directly on the abyssal demon. Instead, it was attached to a Holy long sword.
“So that’s how it is. I can only rely on the holy system’s sealed long sword as a medium to absorb energy.”
Fang Heng muttered to himself as he rummaged through his backpack.
[Item: Arbitrator-unsealed light holy sword.]
The sealing saint sword left behind by the Holy Court could seal the abyssal demon for a period of time..
