Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 845: Holy Light Baptism

Three absolutions! This alone shows how seriously Lin Junzhao values this spell, and it made Pei Yan break out in cold sweat. After fleeing from the battlefield, he had retreated over a hundred meters, terrified of the falling net behind him.

On the other side of the battlefield, watching Pei Yan escape from his deadly move, Flamel's eyes instantly turned blood red: "Damn it! How lucky he is!"

"How lucky he is! Are you an idiot? You hid the Line of Destiny within other spells to lure him into the trap. Everything was done flawlessly, yet the moment he saw the Line of Destiny, he had no hesitation in escaping the trap. Don't you understand what this means? He recognized the origin of this spell at first glance. How ridiculous! I've never displayed this spell to anyone, yet the other side knows it clearly!"

Faced with Moira's disrespectful words within him, this time Flamel surprisingly did not get angry or scold her. After merging, he could truly feel Moira's source energy rapidly declining after casting the spell. She was right; she had a reason to be angry!

"Is it the Demon Race?" Once the seed of doubt is planted, any small matter can make it grow quickly, eventually breaking through the ground to become a towering giant. Flamel, whose mind had been led astray, shifted his suspicion back to his former allies.

"Whether it's the Demon Race or not is irrelevant. Let's first think of a way to handle the current battle!"

Moira's reminder brought Flamel back to his senses. He looked up, gazing into the distance. Obviously, Pei Yan was badly frightened by this spell, and he stood far away, not daring to launch an attack. This might be an opportunity!

With this thought, Flamel retrieved a pile of objects from the storage necklace. Upon seeing these things, Moira lurking in his subconscious exclaimed: "Are you sure you want to use it? You should understand that even if we win this battle, we won't be able to participate in the following individual matches due to overexertion!"

"Moira, do we still have a way back? Pei Yan was right—we cannot afford to lose. Only by winning this battle can we maintain the status and honor of the Magic Realm. As for the individual matches, I believe our teacher will have a solution afterward! As you said, what we should focus on now is this battle in front of us! The cornerstone of his realm is willing to sacrifice his life, so why should everyone in the Magic Realm be seen as cowards afraid to die?"

"Moreover, if this spell succeeds, will we still need to worry about having no strength for the next match?" Flamel sneered as he stuffed the five small puppets in his hand into his mouth, biting off and swallowing the heads. After a flash of black light, the puppets in his hand transformed randomly into black smoke and dissipated into nothingness.

Having done all this, Flamel's figure flickered, pulling the thousands of fate threads in front of him as he launched an attack toward Pei Yan. Terrified by Lin Junzhao's words, Pei Yan dared not touch the dense threads, so he could only temporarily retreat under their pressure.

"You don't need to hide anymore! This is no longer the Line of Destiny. Although that thing is terrifying, it also has its limitations. Only within the short minute after its release does it contain that mysterious power. How long has it been? Not even that bastard's true self could make destiny power last this long. Now it's nothing more than a disguised source energy line."

Betrayed! Upon receiving Lin Junzhao's reminder, Pei Yan was suddenly enlightened. However, he found himself forced into the spell's shooting range. Realizing the danger, Flamel quickly cast a spell and shouted, "Immediate Chant: Holy Light Forbidden Curse. Holy Light Baptism!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Before the words were even finished, a beam shot out from Flamel's palm. With no chance to react, Pei Yan, misled by the fake Line of Destiny, was directly struck in the chest by the beam. Then his body was enveloped by a holy light descending from the sky.

"Is Pei Yan going to be eliminated? What did that person do for Pei Yan to be on the verge of elimination after just one attack?" Outside, watching Pei Yan enveloped by the beam of light, Liang Qian shouted in panic and confusion.

"Don't shout! Look again, that isn't the elimination light used in matches. They are different!" Wang Wenze pulled Liang Qian into his arms and pointed to the light screen to reassure her.

Seeing this, Liang Qian took a closer look. Indeed, compared to the relatively gentle and blue-green elimination light of the match, this light was much more intense.

However, before Liang Qian could relax her anxious heart, a voice made everyone present tense up again.

"Being hit by this light is worse than being directly eliminated!"

The crowd turned to see the speaker, who was none other than Xila, the Child of Origin of the Demon Race, observing from the gallery after withdrawing from the competition. Hearing this, Gu Shenghui furrowed his brow in confusion and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"The Pei Yan you know may never return!" Xila said this as she faced the fierce crowd's gaze, knowing it was not the time for suspense, and continued: "The Forbidden Technique Flamel just used does not target the body but the soul. Those shrouded in holy light will undergo complete baptism in body and mind, becoming fanatical followers of the Bright Church in the Magic Realm!"

"Brainwashing? Are you saying Pei Yan will be brainwashed by him?" Wang Wenze immediately understood what he meant and exclaimed.

"Brainwashing? That term is quite apt. Yes, you could say that! Those baptized by holy light will sever all family, friendship, and love ties, holding only reverence for the church. It means that even if you appear in front of him and hinder the church's interests, he will kill you without hesitation!"

After hearing this, Wang Wenze and the others were filled with horror. To see their former ally become an enemy in an instant was arguably the most vicious of spells. Unlike the others' panic-stricken reactions, Gu Shenghui remained calm after hearing the whole story. He waved his hand to signal everyone to stay calm and said calmly, "Don't worry! You shouldn't forget that person is still there!"

Within the battlefield, Flamel looked at Pei Yan enveloped in holy light, took a long breath, then took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the blood seeping from his nostrils. Instantly casting high-level magic after fusion was no longer difficult for him, but to cast a forbidden curse that touched the balance of Heavenly Dao immediately, he had to pay a certain price.

To achieve this goal, he swallowed five chanting puppets. These puppets would replace his voice in his body, with each puppet quickly chanting a segment of the forbidden curse. Only then could he achieve the immediate cast of the forbidden curse. The negative effects of this method were also evident, with the chanting speed multiplying by five and the consumption speed likewise multiplying by five. Releasing one forbidden curse had exhausted him to the extent of consuming the source energy and spiritual power needed for five forbidden curses!
