Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 271 Joint Expedition, You're Not a Human Mage?

"Whom I save and who I don't save is my business."

"Even if I healed the demon beast, what does it have to do with you?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable calmness and detachment.

She found the Parthenon's anthropocentric and clearly defined "sacred duties" narrative somewhat laughable.

"Insanity!"

"How dare you utter such blasphemous and immoral words that desecrate your duties and violate human ethics! This is truly an unacceptable heresy!"

"The Parthenon, upholding the will of the goddess and wielding the power of healing, will not allow a rebellious scoundrel like you to escape justice!"

"Heh." The only response she received was a very soft sneer.

Soraka was too lazy to waste any more words arguing about that narrow "way" and "sin".

Her patience had run out.

In his golden eyes, the last trace of confusion and gentleness vanished, leaving only a deep, icy coldness like the Milky Way.

"roll!"

Each word uttered was like a divine decree.

An invisible, overwhelming force suddenly descended!

The temple sage and the mage procession behind her felt the air around them suddenly become heavy.

Their bodies were irresistibly pushed hundreds of meters away from the core area where Soraka and Qin Yu'er were located.

The group scrambled to regain their footing, their robes disheveled and hoods askew.

However, the repercussions of Soraka's expulsion have not yet subsided.

A cold, domineering voice suddenly crashed down from the heavens!

"Those who defy the will of the Holy City and protect heretics shall be punished equally!"

The gray sky seemed to darken even more, and a blinding holy light tore through the clouds and descended suddenly!
The light faded, revealing the cold and stern figure of the Archangel Far.

She was clad in armor, and enormous wings of light slowly folded behind her, emanating a chilling energy fluctuation.

She hovered in mid-air, her icy gaze instantly locking onto Soraka and Qin Yu'er on the ground.

Eric's report enraged her. How dare someone so blatantly defy the will of the Holy City and even expel its envoys?
This is not only a provocation, but also a desecration of the Holy City's supreme authority!
This arrogance must be crushed with swift and decisive action, so that the world will never forget the consequences of disobeying the imperial edict!
Soraka tilted her head slightly to meet Fal's gaze, her golden starry eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

"Huh? 'Heretical'?"

"Qin Yu'er, what heinous and unforgivable evil deeds has she committed?"

"Just because of her magical talent, you're going to label her a 'heretic'?"

"Heretics are heretics!" Far's voice was firm and unwavering, leaving no room for explanation.

In her view, within the deeply ingrained logic of the Holy City, the power to define always rests in the hands of the strong.

Any force that exceeds their control and may threaten the Holy City's transcendent status, regardless of its nature or the wishes of its owners, must be labeled "heretic" and eliminated.

This is the ironclad rule that allows the Holy City to maintain its supremacy over the magical world!
The former Holy Son, Wen Tai.

These are the victims who were once gifted, powerful, and difficult to tame.

And then there's Feng Zhoulong, who will one day dare to break down magical barriers, develop fusion magic, and shake the very foundations of the Holy City's magical authority. And finally, there's Mo Fan, who will completely master demonic power and become an evil god…

They were targeted by the Holy City because they threatened its status.

On the other side, the mage Parthenon, who had just regained his footing, saw the arrival of the Archangel Fal and his eyes lit up with hope.

She quickly composed herself, suppressed the humiliation in her heart, and bowed deeply to the platinum figure in the sky, her posture respectful: "Your Excellency Archangel! Your arrival brings divine guidance to this chaotic situation!"

"This woman has not only blasphemed the divine duty of healing and arbitrarily aided demons, but she has also shielded Qin Yu'er, whom the Holy City defines as a heretic. Her actions have committed a double crime! Our Parthenon Temple is willing to join hands with the Holy City to purify this root of rebellion!"

Far's cold gaze swept over the other person, and he nodded slightly.

Although the Holy City and Parthenon belong to different domains, they share a surprising tacit understanding on the fundamental principle of maintaining their own absolute authority.

Soraka's displayed power (especially her legendary "resurrection spell") and her act of protecting "heretics" have touched the most sensitive nerves on both sides.

After a brief, silent exchange, a temporary alliance was formed instantly.

"Blasphemer, accept the holy judgment!"

With a swift movement of her right hand, Fal formed a spear of holy light in her palm!

The spear was wreathed in destructive lightning and blazing white holy flames.

Without testing or holding back, Far immediately unleashed the [Divine Judgment - Spear of Annihilation]!
With a cold command, Far's arm swung down suddenly!
The light spear tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek, and transformed into a platinum meteor that pierced through the heavens and earth!

The target was none other than Soraka and Qin Yu'er beside her!
Far's intention was extremely clear: this strike would wipe these two "heretics" who dared to challenge the authority of the Holy City from this world!
Let everyone know that the only consequence of defying the Holy City is annihilation of both body and soul!
Qin Yu'er's face turned deathly pale; the aura of death emanating from that spear of light was extremely strong!

However, Soraka didn't care at all!
She didn't even make any obvious defensive moves.

She simply stood there quietly, her golden eyes sparkling like stars.

A seemingly thin "night curtain," yet seemingly containing an endless starry sky, silently unfolded before her.

【Divine Judgment - Spear of Annihilation】 crashed headlong into this "night" with a world-destroying momentum.

Then... it disappeared.

There was no explosion, no shockwave, not even a ripple.

The raging holy light of retribution, the destructive lightning, and the blazing holy flames—all the energy was instantly disintegrated by an irresistible, vast power, returning to eternal silence.

It was as if that devastating blow had never happened.

The wind on the Finnish ice sheet seemed to freeze at that moment.

Only silence remained.

The eyes of the Archangel Far in the sky suddenly narrowed, filled with disbelief and a hint of... surprise!
What power is this?
This is absolutely not any known magic system!

Star magic originated from the Heavenly Father. The Holy City is sensitive to this kind of magical power, and even forbidden techniques will have some magical traces.

However, just as the "night curtain" unfolded before Soraka and swallowed her [Divine Judgment - Spear of Annihilation].

There was no surge of magical energy, and no sign of elemental particles being mobilized.

Human mages could never possess such abilities that violate the fundamental laws of magic!

A chilling thought instantly seized her mind: "You...you're not a human mage?! You are...some kind of unknown demon incarnate?!"
