Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!-Chapter 94 - 93 Angry Bella
Chapter 94: Chapter 93 Angry Bella
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
The cultists had just set foot on the altar when the whole structure began to roar. Then, to their horror, they watched as the ground beneath their feet started to collapse, and with a series of screams, everyone on the altar plunged downward with the crumbling debris.
The platform that the group stood on was located at the front of the square, and from its style, one could tell it was indeed a creation of the Abyss. But no one knew what the altar was actually for. As an altar, however, it perfectly embodied the standard style of all similar structures—height!
The altar before them was dozens of meters tall, resembling the shape of a Maya Pyramid. For this reason, when the collapse began from the highest point, nothing could escape unscathed.
Viewed from above, the altar looked completely hollow, which is why the top where Fang Zheng and the Six-Armed Snake Demon were situated collapsed first. The supporting stone slabs and pillars around them also rapidly gave way. It was as if a massive hole suddenly opened up on the ground, spreading outward!
“This is impossible! Why has it turned out like this!”
Feeling the rapid descent, Bella couldn’t help but scream in panic. Of course, she guessed that the Little Angel had something to do with it, but what puzzled Bella was that the angel had no combat ability! And this altar, which had survived even the Goddess’s Light in the past, how could it possibly be destroyed by a noncombatant angel?!
Bella couldn’t figure it out, but Fang Zheng understood very clearly. To be honest, Nymph’s combat ability was indeed low, and if it came to potential, in Fang Zheng’s view, Nymph was probably only a bit stronger than Fina… after all, the Apprentice Priest was a true support Divine Shepherd and typically didn’t engage directly.
But that didn’t mean the Little Angel’s destructive power was weak. In fact, while Fang Zheng was fighting Bella, he was also listening to Nymph’s report. At that time, even he wasn’t sure, after all… the Little Angel’s combat ability… well, let’s not talk about that.
What Fang Zheng didn’t expect was that Nymph actually brought him a surprise!
She scanned the entire structure of the altar, deducing the most fragile supporting columns inside!
In other words, the Little Angel alone was as effective as an entire professional demolition and blasting team!
Indeed, in any world, knowledge is power!
Now, Fang Zheng was extremely grateful he had summoned Nymph. Although the Little Angel couldn’t help him fight on the front lines, her abilities and knowledge were too useful.
Take Bella, for instance. Had Fang Zheng summoned another, more combative angel, he might have had to charge headfirst into the fray and make his way to the altar. By then, Bella might have fully revived and conjured up some other trickery, leading to an unavoidable, arduous battle.
With Nymph, however, Fang Zheng easily evaded the cultists’ outer searches, and at a critical moment, the Little Angel disrupted Bella’s scheme, resulting in the Six-Armed Snake Demon having to battle him in an incomplete state.
If the entire process were compared to a boss strategy battle in a sandbox game, Fang Zheng was like someone who stealthily entered the boss room with divine teammate support and even applied a debuff to significantly weaken the boss. Moreover, the Little Angel had just caused arena destruction to the boss!
Such a divine teammate is just too adorable!
Fang Zheng silently gave the Little Angel a thumbs-up in his heart, naturally not letting go of this opportunity. The altar’s collapse was unexpected for Bella, but for Fang Zheng, he had been waiting for this moment!
The moment the ground collapsed, Fang Zheng flashed and pounced toward the Six-Armed Serpent Lord. This creature had no wings and couldn’t fly, and Fang Zheng had even foreseen her next moves!
“Bastard!”
Feeling the sword wind behind her, Bella was furious. She hadn’t expected to be outsmarted by a mere mortal in cahoots with an extremely weak angel. Now that the altar had completely collapsed, and more importantly, with the Array hidden beneath it seemingly thoroughly destroyed, her plan had truly failed!!
“I’m going to kill you!”
Although the Six-Armed Snake Demon couldn’t fly, Bella was no stranger to aerial combat. She roared and turned around, unleashing six waves of scimitar light behind her, swiftly stabbing at Fang Zheng. At this moment, Bella’s killing intent was intense, and she was full of confidence. Previously on the ground, this mortal had managed to narrowly dodge her attacks with those strange rolls, but now in mid-air, there was nowhere for him to roll, so Bella was certain that this time she could tear the detestable human to pieces!
“CLANG!”
Indeed, just as Bella expected, Fang Zheng didn’t choose to dodge with a roll this time. Instead, he raised his Sky-Cleaving Sword and swept it forward. The gleaming sword light cut through the darkness, forming a lightning barrier that blocked the intersecting strike of Bella’s two scimitars. Then Fang Zheng’s body shook violently, using the impact to leap backward. The two scimitars narrowly missed his fringe, and if Fang Zheng had been half a second slower, his head would have already been Bella’s trophy.
But, that was as far as it goes!!
As Fang Zheng dodged, the last two streaks of scimitar light, like serpents in the darkness, silently emerged and lashed out at Fang Zheng once more!
This time, with no support to leverage from and suspended in mid-air, Fang Zheng had no way to evade this strike!
And this was Bella’s killer move!
“Die, mortal!”
Watching Fang Zheng’s helpless figure suspended in midair, a cruel and bloodthirsty joy surfaced in Bella’s eyes. She could almost foresee the delightful scene where the mortal before her would be sliced in half by her blade and then die!
However, what surprised Bella was that faced with her ultimate strike, Fang Zheng’s face did not show the surprise or fear she had expected. Instead, in that moment, Fang Zheng suddenly curled into a crouching position.
What’s he doing?
“Boom boom boom!!!”
The instant Fang Zheng curled up his body, accompanied by a rumbling collapse, a huge piece of the floor nearly grazed his body as it plummeted down. If Fang Zheng hadn’t curled up in time, he might have been crushed to death by the stone slab’s fragment without Bella even lifting a finger!
But what Fang Zheng did next took Bella by complete surprise!
Just as the piece of the floor whizzed past him, Fang Zheng thrust his foot against it with great force, and in a blink, his whole body accelerated, turning into a dazzling silver flash with sword in tow as he pierced through Bella’s web of blades. And in the next instant, the Sky-Cleaving Sword, carrying the breath of death, plunged into the body of the Six-Armed Serpent Lord!!
“Aaahhhhhhh!!!!!”
As the sword penetrated, Bella let out an involuntary scream. She could feel her life rapidly slipping away. As a Six-Armed Snake Demon, Bella was not inexperienced in dealing with undead creatures. But she could distinctly feel that the Power of Death entering her body was entirely different from the Negative Energy used by the undead.
It was true death!!
“Let go of me!!”
To Bella, never before had death felt so close; she even sensed the scythe of death had pierced her body, about to seize her remaining life!!
In that moment, the fear of death completely enveloped Bella’s heart. She roared and began to struggle, flicking her serpentine tail in an attempt to entangle the man before her. But unexpectedly, just as her tail came wrapping around, Fang Zheng stepped on her body and, pulling out his sword, leaped backwards. Beneath Fang Zheng’s forceful kick, the Six-Armed Serpent Lord’s body suddenly accelerated in its fall, crashing heavily to the ground.

“Phew…”
Landing on the ground, Fang Zheng let out a long breath; his surroundings were a complete mess. All around him lay scattered rubble and debris.
Before him, the Six-Armed Serpent Lord lay collapsed, her luck far worse than Fang Zheng’s; after falling, a huge stone had pinned down her tail. Now she could only glare fiercely at Fang Zheng, completely helpless.
“How is it possible? How could you dodge my attacks? What did you do!?”
Bella couldn’t understand how Fang Zheng could repeatedly dodge her attacks, let alone how he had foreseen everything at the end.
What did he do?
Hearing Bella’s question, Fang Zheng sighed and reached out to touch his eyes.
There’s always more than one way to utilize time.
To be honest, after learning his lesson from Shi Dong, Fang Zheng had almost given up on using time to control enemies—unless he intended to play with electricity or indulge in campus play, the costs outweighing the benefits. More importantly, if any of his enemies happened to be feigning weakness, just the backlash alone would be enough to give Fang Zheng a hard time.
But that doesn’t mean time has no other uses.
If one can’t affect external things then affect oneself!
Looking at the Six-Armed Serpent Lord before him, spitting blood incessantly, Fang Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth.
Miss, have you ever heard of Future Sight?
