Volume 4: Super-Tier Awakening & The Ancient Capital Calamity
The sky above the Black Vatican’s main stronghold was choked by an oppressive, roiling layer of blood-tinted thunderclouds that completely eclipsed the moonlight. The crushing weight of a peak Super-tier pressure made the surrounding space feel as viscous as asphalt, while violent gales shrieked through the stone crevices like weeping ghosts and howling fiends. At the epicenter of that blood-soaked maelstrom stood Sharlock—the Red Cardinal who had lorded over the Divine Continent branch for the past decade. Right now, he had completely shed his usual veneer of calm, haughty composure.
His face was grotesquely contorted, his bloodshot eyes bulging as if they might burst from their sockets, and thick veins throbbing across his pale forehead like writhing earthworms. Rage, humiliation, and a paralyzing dread at seeing his centuries-old sanctuary reduced to ruins twisted together, driving the malevolent spiritual energy within his body past its normal limits.
“Lin Feng! You drove me to this corner... I will make you taste a thousandfold more agony than death itself!”
Sharlock’s roar tore through the night, carrying the grating screech of colliding metal. As one of the supreme leaders of the Black Vatican, he commanded two of the most noble and devastating magical elements: the Poison Element and the Curse Element, both of which had already touched the threshold of the ultimate Super-tier Level 3!
“Boom!”
