Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 801: Pei Yan’s Fury

"Lin Daozi, do you find my words amusing? Or are you laughing at Pei Yan's foolishness?" Flamel turned his head to look angrily at the Immortal Palace, which had been watching from afar.

"Foolish? Yes! I am indeed laughing at some people's foolishness, but not Pei Yan's, I'm laughing at you."

Confronted by Lin Daozi's unabashed mockery in front of everyone, Flamel's pupils shrank instantly. He had endured enough humiliation already; if it hadn't been for Pei Yan's stubbornness that let the Immortal Palace slip away, Lin Daozi wouldn't dare to insult him so directly!

Unperturbed by Flamel's indignation, Lin Daozi continued, "Flamel, have you been in the Mage Tower for too long, studying Magic, that you forgot human affairs? You're talking about interests here, but don't you know your previous actions have truely touched others' interests. You assume that using interests to drive away the Demon Race had a devastating effect, shaming Pei Yan's prior words, enough to achieve your goals. But didn't you understand your opponents' temperament before entering the competition?"

Lin Daozi glanced at Pei Yan's side with a laugh and said, "He is someone who yields to softness but not force. Since arriving at the Daoist Realm, everything he has done is summed up in four words: kill to establish authority! Establish his authority! Establish the Investigation Hall's authority! But just now, you forced those under his protection away in front of the world's audience! Isn't this blatantly trampling on the Investigation Hall's dignity? This is no longer a dispute over interests; it is a battle of respect and honor. Do you still expect him to retreat at this point? It's not I who laugh at stupidity but you who's ignorant!"

Lin Daozi's mocking reprimand was not for quick verbal satisfaction nor to enlighten Flamel about his mistakes; he simply added fuel to the fire, making the battle between them unavoidable.

After listening to Lin Daozi's ridicule, Flamel lowered his head in silence. After a moment, he seemed to understand and suddenly smiled, relieved, "It seems my efforts were in vain. Newly rising forces will inevitably challenge the positions of the old, giving up the Investigation Hall's dignity just for my Magic Realm's prestige? There's no such principle in this world, dignity is always earned through strength."

He then looked coldly at Pei Yan, saying, "So our battle cannot be delayed, huh?"

"Yes, that's right! I don't want to wait a moment longer. Forget about securing a spot in the top three; in this competition, only one between us can remain, or perhaps neither of us will be left!"

As Pei Yan spoke, he activated the Demon Race Essence Blood within him to complete the Demon God Transformation and Blood Fiend's power, laughing mockingly at Flamel, "Or you can try using your mouth now to persuade the Dragon Realm and Blood Fiend to withdraw from the competition. I can give you five minutes, though I think it might be difficult with Dragon Realm, but you'll surely have success with Blood Fiend."

Boom! As soon as he spoke, Pei Yan completed the mechanization process and closed the faceplate, a shot from the electromagnetic cannon fired as the situation had reached the point where both sides had nothing left to say, leaving only the battle!

A violent explosion burst in front of the Magic Camp, with Lanloste, clad in heavy armor, bearing the brunt at the forefront as the Investigation Hall members charged in. He wielded his longsword, but instead of attacking Pei Yan, amidst the crowd's astonished gazes, he forcefully plunged the sword into his own chest.

A series of sharp sounds followed as he created a magical barrier that blocked all attacks from his side. Kneeling amid the blood gushing from his chest onto the ground, forming a Magic Array, Lanloste pulled back as Pei Yan jumped aside and decisively said, "Yet another damned blessing. Normal attacks can't break this defense, everyone back off, I'll handle it!"

The other four jumped to the sides, leaving the battlefield center to Pei Yan, who was not hesitant and flicked his fingers, and a light screen appeared. Under the dazzling brilliance, a full-powered plasma cannon fired at the defensive wall.

After the explosive aftermath dissipated, Pei Yan blew the rising smoke away with a gust, the defense light screen before him was shattered from such close-range attacks, but its presence effectively restricted Pei Yan and others' advances, buying Lanloste time to perform secret arts.

The knight who had been kneeling with his sword thrust into his chest slowly stood from the blood-drenched Array, hands clutched the sword hilt, pulling it out little by little. With each inch drawn, a blob of blood surged out of his body, and upon contacting the ground's Array, it coalesced into blood-red humanoids. When he fully withdrew the longsword from his body, he paused five times, standing beside Lanloste with five figures.

The five blood shadows slowly shed their blood-soaked shrouds, revealing fully armored figures. A voice sounded intent in Pei Yan's mind, explaining, "These are six of the twelve Round Table Knights from the Church of the three councils in the Magic Realm. Individually, they are no match for you, but their combined strength is formidable."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yan barely perceptibly glanced at the Immortal Palace's direction, sending a covert transmission to Lin Daozi with a smile, unable to transmit through secret techniques, he used a Nanomechanical Insect to silently question at Lin Daozi's ear, "Isn't it a violation for him to recruit reinforcements so openly?"

"Um!" Understanding the word 'reinforcements' after a moment's thought, Lin Daozi chuckled helplessly, "The five knights he's summoned, if strictly speaking, are dead, they are the spirits of the deceased Round Table Knights, temporarily revived by sacrificing his flesh through Holy Spirit Spell, essentially a summon, so it's not a violation. But do not underestimate them, oh, for during the summoning duration, they are living beings possessing peak strength from life, far beyond typical undead creatures!"

Regardless of his intentions for Lin Daozi's kind reminder, Pei Yan expressed gratitude, and amidst their brief exchange, Flamel in the Magic Camp pulled out three statue-like items from his arms. As he gently crushed them with his fingers, the statues broke one by one, and chantings flowed from his mouth, "Holy Gift! Great Holy Light Healing Technique! Holy Gift! Negative Effect Resistance Technique! Holy Gift! Blessing of the Gods!"

Amidst the chant's waves, three rays spread outwards centered on Flamel, and Pei Yan watched as Lanloste, who was pale and unable to recover his chest wound after using the summoning spell, regained his strength and armor before him fully restored, looking even healthier than before!
