Lune stood at the forefront, staring intently at Lis. His eyes exuded fanaticism and greed, much like a famished traveler seeing a table full of delicious food right in front of him. That beastlike greed was something Lis could clearly sense. Looking at Lis, Lune smiled and flew to a spot not far from him, saying: "I’m very pleased to meet you, World Tree Favored, Lord Lis Kain." "If possible, I’d really like to talk with you for a while." "But... your scent is just too enticing, I can’t hold back any longer." Before he finished speaking, Lune’s body started to tremble slightly. This wasn’t fear or cowardice, but purely because he could no longer suppress the extreme desire and greed within him. Seeing Lune’s strange expression, Lis’s face changed a bit. He wasn’t worried about his own safety; he was simply disgusted by Lune. Seeing Lune’s demeanor, he understood that this guy was performing an exceptionally disgusting type of Hunting Ceremony. It involved completely devouring the prey, digesting fully. Although this method was cumbersome and disgusting, it undoubtedly allowed for more power to be granted and made digestion and mastery easier. But Lune’s gaze made Lis quite displeased. Next to him, Holmes seemed the most normal among the three. However, Lis knew very well that this one would not show any mercy. Lis hadn’t forgotten that he still carried the wrath of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts! What’s more, the All Beast Church had suffered significant setbacks at his hands. If given the chance, Holmes, as the Pope of the All Beast Church, would surely want to grind him to dust. "I really didn’t expect you’d prepare so much for me?" Lis looked at the three people in front of him, knowing clearly that they had many methods prepared for him. He had just contacted Joyce, Risa, and others, but now all his teammates were being blocked by unknown legendary strongmen. Although Joyce and the others were anxious, with the opponent’s pre-prepared intentional obstruction, they definitely couldn’t make it over in a short period. It simply indicated that the opponent had made ample preparation, blocking all of Lis’s help. Seeing this, Lis continuously cast various enhancing skills on himself while quickly flying to a distant spot. Seeing this, Lune and the others quickly moved forward to block Lis without any hesitation. The three figures were reflected in Lis’s eyes, and he remained extremely calm. Faced with this nearly certain death situation, it was precisely what he wanted to confront proactively. Furthermore, he also wanted to truly feel the power of those ascending the Path to Divinity. Holmes and Juliana were also strong, but the biggest threat was still Lune. In Lis’s perception, Lune’s aura was extremely aggressive. Among the three, Holmes was a Legendary Priest, Juliana was a Legendary Assassin, and Lune was a Legendary Hunter. Lis’s previous scene of kicking Juliana was seen by the other two. They clearly understood that Lis wasn’t like a normal Legendary Mage, unable to resist in close combat. So now Holmes had no intention of approaching, standing at a distance, casting various crimson divine arts to restrict Lis’s movements. And Juliana disappeared into the air, though Lis could feel a sharp and sinister aura lurking in the shadows. Ready to strike fatally the moment Lis exposed any flaw. Meanwhile, Lune had no concerns, brandishing a short blade as he charged directly towards Lis. Typically, hunters would use bows, arrows, and traps to whittle down enemies, somewhat resembling the combat style of casters. But Lune was entirely different; now he was completely unlike before. Shrouded in a flickering black sheen, Lune seemed to have swollen in size, his speed incredibly fast, instantly appearing in front of Lis. Swinging a blade at Lis, Lune’s beast-like aggression nearly sealed off all of Lis’s escape routes. Before Lis, countless Magic Shield lights flickered, the dazzling brilliance illuminating the expanse. Lune’s expression remained unchanged, and his descending blade directly cut at the Magic Shield in front of Lis. The sound of Magic Shields shattering echoed. Usually, it was Lis breaking through others’ Magic Shields; this time, he felt the powerless sensation. However, Lis’s Magic Power was far greater than a typical Legendary Mage, managing to barely withstand Lune’s attack as the shields regenerated continuously. Simultaneously, countless deep azure Wind Blades materialized around Lis, slicing fiercely towards Lune and the surrounding air. The black leather armor on Lune’s body flashed slightly, the Wind Blade before him dispersing, turning into gentle breezes brushing past him. At the same time, Juliana’s figure emerged in mid-air to his right rear, swinging a long whip to disperse the Wind Blades headed her way. After casting a venomous look at Lis, Juliana immediately swung the long whip, several black and purple light ribbons slithering like long snakes towards Lis’s body. A sense of danger surged through his heart, and Lis prepared to use Purification Spell, while dodging swiftly. But at this moment, the pale white light ball in Lis’s hand scattered, and his body sank, unable to evade Juliana’s black and purple ribbons. This was Holmes’s well-timed coordination, forcing Lis to take Juliana’s skill head-on. Juliana’s black and purple ribbons penetrated Lis’s body, instantly inducing extreme agony, relentlessly jolting his nerves. Lis’s brows furrowed slightly, instinctively wanting to use a spell to block the sensation internally. But then he dismissed the thought. This was a unique ability of the believers of the Abuse Goddess, capable of inflicting extreme pain and torment. For those with weak wills, it could even lead to mental collapse and death. For powerful professionals, though they could control their bodies to block the pain feeling, this would also slow down their reactions. Facing such perilous situations, any mistake could lead to irreversible outcomes. Isn’t it just a bit of "small pain"? Seeing her strike succeed, a hint of taunt appeared on Juliana’s face before she vanished back into the nearby gray mist. Enduring the pain, Lis took a few steps back, looking at Lune in front of him. The three of them didn’t seem to have fought together previously, but powerful strength and abundant experience allowed them to coordinate, bringing out their best abilities. However, for Lis, the most surprising was still Lune. Regardless of whether it was withstanding his attacks earlier or the Wind Blade attack, the disparity was evident. It wasn’t about magic’s power, but rather like a gap in rank. It felt as if he was using a wooden sword to strike a concrete wall. No matter how much power Lis infused, breaking through Lune’s defenses was very difficult. Lune’s strength, honed through countless times like coal compacted into a diamond! This was the power of a strongman on the Path to Divinity? Lis mused, truly feeling the uniqueness of the strong. He couldn’t afford to hold anything back or be careless! Lis silently thought. Although he’d come to this trap with the plan to "die" here, he couldn’t just accept death without resistance. It was a rare opportunity; he certainly wanted to experience the battle style of Evil God believers and the uniqueness of strongmen on the Path to Divinity. Lune made no hesitation and swung his blade at Lis. Just then, with Lune’s attacks estimating his movement range, Lis’s mind suddenly went clear. He dodged the incoming strikes with ease and moved skillfully out of harm’s way. "I didn’t expect you to be so prepared for me?" Lis looked at the three in front of him, knowing full well that his opponents had prepared much more for him. He’d already contacted Joyce, Risa, and others, but right now, his allies were all being intercepted by unknown Legendary Strongman. While Joyce and the others were anxious, their pre-planned attempts to intercept him were surely going to prevent them from arriving anytime soon. One could only say that the other had prepared enough to block all of Lis’s allies. Seeing this, Lis continuously cast various buff skills on himself as he quickly flew into the distance. Lune and the others, seeing this, did not hesitate to quickly advance and intercept Lis. The three figures reflected in Lis’s eyes, his mind now extremely calm. The current situation, which seemed almost certain death, was something he had actively chosen to face. Moreover, he wanted to truly experience the strength of those on the Path to Divinity. Holmes and Juliana were very strong as well, but the greatest threat was still Lune. In Lis’s perception, Lune’s aura was extremely aggressive. Of the three, Holmes was a Legendary Priest, Juliana a Legendary Assassin, and Lune was a Legendary Hunter. Lune had seen the scene when Lis kicked Julian, and he understood very well that Lis was not like a normal Legendary Mage; he did not lack the power to resist in close combat. So now, Holmes had no intention of approaching, staying at a distance to cast various crimson divine arts to limit Lis’s movements. And Juliana disappeared into the air, though Lis could feel a sharp and insidious aura lurking in the shadows. Waiting for any flaw in Lis’s defense for a fatal strike. However, Lune didn’t think that much, waving a short blade and charging directly at Lis. Generally, a hunter would use bows, arrows, and traps to wear down enemies, in some sense similar to a caster’s combat style. But Lune was completely different; now he was not the same as before. His entire being surged with a pitch-black brilliance, seemingly swelling in size, darting quickly to stand in front of Lis in an instant with a vicious aura like a fierce beast, almost completely sealing off Lis’s direction of dodge. Numerous flashes of magic shields shimmered in front of Lis, illuminating the entire space brightly. Lune’s expression remained unchanged, his cutting blade slicing directly into the Magic Shield before Lis, the sound of shattering echoing continuously. The sound of the breaking Magic Shield echoed incessantly. Usually, it was Lis who broke through others’ Magic Shields; this time, he felt that same helpless sensation. However, Lis’s Magic Power was considerably more ample than a normal Legendary Mage. With his Magic Shield constantly regenerating, he barely held off Lune’s attack this time. Simultaneously, countless deep cyan Wind Blades formed around Lis’s body, slashing violently towards Lune and the surrounding air. The black leather armor on Lune shimmered faintly, dispersing the approaching Wind Blades that whisked past him with a light breeze. Meanwhile, in the midair behind and to the right of Lis, Juliana reappeared, snapping a long whip to disperse it, allowing the sharp, venomous tendrils to coil towards Lis’s body like serpents. Lis invited the pain, enduring it, while continuing to fight back. Ignoring the agony, he focused on assessing his enemies. He realized that the three of them seamlessly harnessed their strength to enhance each other’s abilities, performing at their best together. Yet for Lis, who now faced this nearly certain death situation, it was something he proactively wanted to confront. Furthermore, he wanted to truly experience the strength of those who were stepping onto the Path to Divinity. To him, Holmes and Juliana were powerful, but the real threat was Lune. In his perception, Lune’s aura was intensely aggressive. Among the three, Holmes was a Legendary Priest, Juliana, a Legendary Assassin, and Lune, a Legendary Hunter. Lis had kicked Juliana away previously, which the other two had witnessed. So they knew very well that Lis, unlike an ordinary Legendary Mage, would not be completely powerless in close combat. Right now, Holmes had no intention of getting close, staying a distance away and casting various scarlet Divine Arts to restrict Lis’s movements. While Juliana had vanished into thin air, Lis could sense a sharp and sinister aura lurking in the shadows. Waiting for Lis to show any weakness, so she could strike a fatal blow immediately. Lune, however, didn’t consider so much and rushed towards Lis wielding a short blade. A typical hunter profession would use bows, arrows, and traps to maneuver and exhaust the enemy, similar in some way to the style of caster professionals. But Lune was entirely different; now he was completely different from before. Enveloped in a dark light, Lune appeared to have expanded a size, his speed incredibly fast, arriving in front of Lis in an instant. With one slash towards Lis, Lune’s overwhelming ferocious momentum nearly blocked all of Lis’s escape routes. A myriad of shimmering Magic Shield glows flickered in front of Lis, illuminating this stretch of heaven and earth brilliantly. Lune’s expression didn’t change, and the sharp blade cleaved directly into the Magic Shield before Lis. The sound of the Magic Shield shattering continuously echoed. Previously, it was always Lis who broke through others’ Magic Shields, but this time, he felt that same helpless sensation. However, Lis’s Magic Power was far more abundant than an ordinary Legendary Mage’s, and amidst the continuous generation of the Magic Shield, he barely withstood Lune’s attack this time. Simultaneously, countless dense deep cyan Wind Blades formed around Lis, slashing fiercely towards Lune and the surrounding air. The black leather armor on Lune flashed slightly, dissipating the Wind Blades that appeared before him and brushing against his body like a breeze. At the same time, Juliana’s figure emerged in mid-air to Lis’s right rear, brandishing a long whip to dispel the Wind Blades slashing towards Lis. She flicked the long whip, entwining it around Lis’s body like several sharp, venomous arcs. Despite enduring the pain, Lis focused intensely on assessing his adversaries. Witnessing the situation, he knew their preparations had maximized their strengths. It was clear to Lis that he was not like an ordinary Legendary Mage, incapable of resistance in close combat. Now, facing the nearly certain doom, he was ready to confront it head-on. It was also an opportunity to truly feel the might of those who have embarked on the Path to Divinity. But above all, it was Lune who posed the greatest threat to him.
