Chapter 385: Chapter 373: Divine Descent Technique at the Cost of Legend!
“Councilman Harrov, you have faced that false god before, so you must have some understanding of her…” Aurora looked towards the two Legendary Councilmen and asked.
Harrov and Vittorio exchanged glances, then shook their heads and sighed before speaking. “I can only say that the gap is even greater than you’d imagine!”
“Does that mean that even if you joined forces, you’d still be unable to contain that individual?” Aurora frowned, asking with confusion.
“In fact, Edwell’s Divine Descent Technique wasn’t fully completed. We merely had a brush with that so-called false god,” Harrov said quite helplessly.
“She used only one Divine Art from beginning to end… Although I barely managed to block it, I had not the slightest assurance that I could break it!” Vittorio added on the side. “In fact, if it weren’t for Master Lynn ambushing and killing Edwell, the Caster, we probably would have all died there!”
At this point, Vittorio paused, recalling that powerful Divine Art which seemed capable of prohibiting space and time, which shattered their magic in a mere moment, not even Lynn’s strong and bizarre ‘Undying Flame’ was spared.
...
Upon hearing this, the Wizards present were all utterly shocked.
About the great battle within the royal capital, the participating two councilmen and Masters Lynn and Rafael had all been tight-lipped. The others could only glean some insights from the few words spoken by Pearce and others. Thus, they had always thought it was the Legendary Councilmen who had defeated the church’s false god and successfully expelled the adversary.
But the reality turned out to be vastly different from what they had imagined.
If even the united Legendary Councilmen stood no chance against the opponent, then what could they do if the other side used the Divine Descent Technique again? Would they not just be lambs to the slaughter?
At this thought, Sanchez and others were instantly filled with dread, and noisy discussions soon began to reverberate throughout the meeting room.
Some even felt that they should immediately withdraw from the Kingdom of Hadlata and return to the Wizard Land, relying on the sea to hold their ground, and then find a way to repair the defenses of the Mist Sea.
This idea quickly gained the support of nearly half the Wizards. Since the false god Elara’s strength was far beyond their expectations and they saw no hope of defeating the opponent, they felt it was not bad to stay in the Wizard Land, just as they had done before.
Seeing that the ‘retrenchment faction’s’ arguments were becoming increasingly heated, Lynn soon felt he couldn’t sit back any longer and had to remind them, speaking out.
“Don’t forget, the church sent an expedition fleet to the Mist Sea this time, which means they must have found a way to locate the Wizard Land. Thinking of going back to defend now is just sitting ducks waiting for death!”
The Wizard Land is simply too small, with a population of just six hundred thousand and severely lacking in resources, its continued closure would greatly hinder the development of industry.
Furthermore, for the plan of the Magic Kingdom, they had invested a significant amount of time and effort, not to mention the innumerable resources. If they withdraw now, the loss would be enormous!
“Then what do you suggest we do? Master Lynn? Even with you and the two councilmen taking action together, didn’t you still fail to win against that false god? At least in the Wizard Land, we can still take advantage of the terrain to block the church’s expedition army at sea,” a Wizard supporting the retrenchment faction said somewhat angrily.
Tic also nodded, as no one wished to retreat in such a stifled manner if there was a way.
The victories of these two wars were achieved with the lives of many Wizards, and they too had contributed significantly…
“At least we are all still standing here, which means the situation has not deteriorated to the point of needing to retreat,” Lynn said, his demeanor calm, immediately drawing everyone’s attention back to him.
“I believe that ‘Heaven’s Gate’ is not a Divine Art that can be easily used, otherwise the enemy should have used Divine Descent when the Imperial fleet was heavily damaged…”
“Isn’t that right, Lady Aurora?” Lynn turned to ask.
Aurora nodded her head; this coincided with her own conjecture.
The council members present immediately fell into deep thought. They had just been intimidated by the words of the two councilmen, and now they realized that the church probably couldn’t employ Divine Descent Technique at will.
“Lord Vittorio, have you probed any useful information from the brain of the captured cardinal?” Lynn looked expectantly toward the Magic Creator and asked.
After the end of the kingdom’s war, they had captured quite a few priests and bishops, among whom Cardinal Pulson, whose rank was the highest, was the most likely to know this information.
However, due to issues of faith, this was not an easy task. Pulson’s memory was protected by a powerful Divine Arts force, and it was easy to be backlashed when rashly probing memories with Spiritual Magic, so the task fell to Vittorio.

“According to Pulson’s memory, using that kind of Divine Descent Technique might require a legend as a sacrifice!” Vittorio spoke thoughtfully.
In just five days, he hadn’t been able to completely unravel Pulson’s brain, but he still obtained a lot of useful information.
For example, throughout the hundreds of years of history of the entire church, there were only six records of using ‘Heaven’s Gate,’ and the casters were undoubtedly legendary clergymen. After the war ended, these people often immediately retired to the second line or even suffered a decrease in lifespan, with one saint reportedly dying only a few years later.
Obviously, it was not easy to bear the power of a god, for once the technique was employed, whether successful or not, the church side would inevitably lose a top battle force.
In addition, he speculated that the entity of ‘Ella’ might be in another space, that so-called heaven, subjected to certain limitations, and could not stay in the outside world for long…
Vittorio shared all his speculations.
Sanchez and others were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. With this information, they wouldn’t have to worry about the false god flying over while they were sleeping and annihilating them all.
Unless absolutely necessary, it was unlikely that any legend would easily give up their power and life.
According to their intelligence, the church currently had five legendary figures in public—Edwell was an anomaly, not accounted for in their intelligence.
Such examples should only be singular, after all, it’s not that easy to make a breakthrough to legendary.
Keep in mind that the Legendary Councilmen of the Wizard Land are accumulated over time, with considerably longer lifespans.
A great wizard could break the human limit and live to about two hundred years, but how long a legendary wizard could live, no one knew…
For instance, the eldest councilman among them, Vittorio, whose specific age was unknown, but he had been in the Wizard Land for more than three hundred years and his experience was quite mystical. It was rumored that this Legendary Councilman was not particularly talented, and it wasn’t until he was over one hundred eighty years old that he broke through to the legendary realm…
