GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2344: Show Your Resolve.

Even before Legion-10 finished speaking, the divine beast had kicked someone else and severely injured them. This unfortunate godclad was Sir Kris. The clawed limb of the blue cock had directly impaled him.

He was using a divine artifact with the Aegis shield to defend himself, but the shield had collapsed without putting up a fight as soon as the foot of the peacock struck him.

The divine artifact had failed him because of the spiritual impact of the divine form of the peacock. Legends can’t use divine artifacts, but weak divine artifacts can’t be used against them either.

Even epic godclads and normal godclads couldn’t withstand the spiritual impact of seeing the divine form of a legend while they were alive. So there was no way something made out of their corpse could stand up to the divine form of a legend.

If it were the vine plant that injured him like that, Sir Kris would likely not survive it due to the use of the rank 2 Death Mark, rank 3 Stun, and rank 5 Bleed divine abilities.

Even if the vine plant didn’t use any of these divine abilities, the fact that its limbs were made of the rank 4 Blood Limbs divine ability would have doomed him easily.

The Blood Limbs would have drained him of all his life energy, grown stronger, expanded, and then crushed him from within. But the limb of the divine peacock wasn’t so great at killing.

The injury caused to Sir Kris looked heavy and serious, but it was nowhere near enough to kill him because the injury was purely physical. His life energy was intact, so he would remain alive for a long time more.

In fact, Sir Kris was still capable of fighting and resisting in his state. He grabbed onto the leg of the divine peacock and used his whole strength to trip it up so that the others would be able to subdue the beast.

He was putting in a lot of work, but his teammates were still lagging behind in achieving their aim. The beast was just too strong for them. It appeared that Sir Kris was being dragged and tossed about for nothing.

In terms of strength, the divine beast might be stronger than a rank 8 demigod. This was also the case for its defense.

This enhanced defense and strength is why the beast was so difficult to subdue. The peacock wasn’t using any divine ability, but it didn’t need to because the divine form might be an ultimate divine ability on its own.

In this state of liberation, the peacock possessed the strength and defense of giants. But it also possesses the speed of travelers.

It was as if the divine beast was using Speed Boost divine ability of the pathway of travelers, the Strength Boost divine ability of the pathway of giants, and the Copper Skin and Iron Bones of the pathway of divine abilities.

Even their claws and wings were so sharp that it was as if they were using the Sever divine ability of the pathway of killing. So it will be very difficult for them to catch up to the divine beasts, block an attack of theirs, and subdue them.

The failing nobles quickly came to the conclusion that they needed to use a powerful ability to subdue the divine beasts or risk more deaths. So they used their domain divine ability.

The first legend said, “Divine beasts are forbidden from moving in this city.”

The second beast said, “Divine beasts are forbidden from resisting capture in this city.”

The two divine beasts were struck by the rules immediately and were forced to become still. But the legends who used the rules on them didn’t go unscathed.

The two legends staggered after making the rules and even stumbled. They were struck by a wave of fatigue immediately after the rules took effect.

Even though they basically set the same rules to affect the same targets and were sharing the burden, the drain of spiritual energy was still enormous for them. It was because the targets they were using the domain on were divine beasts and also nobles like them.

The form of a divine beast has an innate resistance to the effect of divine abilities. It would take a lot of power, both physical and spiritual, to subdue them.

What’s more, the beasts also have the rank 7 divine flesh of the pathway of nobility within them, and Reinfield City was their territory too. These two similarities caused the two legends to not have the 90% reduction to spiritual energy expenditure when using their domains that they normally should.

And since the divine beasts were stronger than them, they needed to expend a lot of spiritual energy to subdue them. The worst part was that they couldn’t subdue them for long after expending so much spiritual energy because they couldn’t last long under such a severe strain.

The time that the beasts would remain immobile was nowhere near enough to tie them up securely. Even if they managed that, it was nearly impossible for them to prevent the Divine Beasts from using their own divine abilities when the Divine Beasts recovered their spiritual energy.

The angel of killing chuckled in amusement at this moment and asked them, “So what will it be? Will you liberate your divine form and try to subdue them, or will you bring out someone stronger to subdue them, or will you quickly end them when you still have the chance?”

“I am curious to see what you will do. Show me your resolve.”

The angel of death appeared to be very curious about what they would do next. Legion was also curious to see if these nobles will continue to be stubborn in their stupidity or do something smart for once.

It appeared to be a smart decision to Legion, but they weren’t the only ones who thought so. Many people also thought that the smart decision was to kill the two divine beasts.
