Chapter 231 The Untouchable Eliphas

The position of the black church was unknown to anyone. Everyone moved there through the Book of Legis in a particular place. Each of the high priests had a life and occupation as a human, disguised among the followers of angels.

"Conceal thy movements, for my adherents are scarce in number, but they possess the power to guide multitudes," was the first sentence of the Reverse Testament book. So although the Daemon Servus were few in number, they were all people of great influence in their respective countries.

One of the high priests was Father Joseph; his real name was unknown; he was one of the Ordo of Seven Devils, the Daemon Servus's High Priest. He had the height of an average adult, with slight wrinkles on his face. He was also the high priest who replaced the previous high priest, whom Birawa the Rounds had killed.

Upon making the decision to launch an assault on the academy alongside his loyal followers, he briskly traversed through the streets of Oxwadeshire City, his countenance marked by an unmistakable annoyance.

"That woman, Mother Laveya, must be hiding something."

He, or perhaps everyone in the room, was aware that Laveya was hiding something, just as Laveya also knew that everyone was aware of it.

"But, which one?"

There was a lot of information given by Laveya, and the most important one was, "The one who summons Satan can command him." Although Laveya might be lying, everyone believed that particular point everyone believed. Because Laveya and everyone in the Ordo would never lie about Satan.

"Father Alester should have also forced her to explain further! Ruling Satan must have restrictions and conditions other than using the blood of the cloven grail."

Many holes were left in Laveya's information.

Laveya's information was riddled with numerous unaddressed gaps. The specifics regarding the request, the parameters for its utilization, the appropriate timing for invoking it, and even the assurance that Satan's hand would be summoned were all conspicuously absent. This lack of clarity left Joseph in a precarious position, uncertain of how to proceed or make sense of his predicament.

"Father Alester must have deliberately kept quiet about this; as the first and oldest high priest, he probably knew about it from the beginning, but he kept quiet so that only a few people knew about it."

After pausing, and thinking about his plan to attack the academy, Joseph's smile became even wider.

"Yes, let it be. Father Alester and Mother Laveya will all be unable to move once I get the hero's blood. If I put Percival's blood into my grail and then kill the 200 slaves I keep underground, I will immediately summon Satan and make a contract with him! That way, I'll become Satan's direct subordinate!"

The town of Academy, Oxwadeshire, is in the central part of the kingdom of Wildenhall. A 5-meter-wide river and rock walls surround the town. In addition, the academy is also surrounded by walls that are oddly shaped and irregular. It was as if the walls were made of sand that tried to cover the entire city in a circle but stopped halfway.

"There is only one entrance for the carriage, and from the shape of these walls, the people inside would immediately notice if anyone entered through the top, and since this is an academy, they must have guards and human amnis detection, meaning that going through the top is impossible."

Joseph entered the academy, and he bustling scene of individuals adorned in distinctive school attire. Among them, he noticed a group of adults donning uniforms that set them apart from the students. Joseph speculated that these individuals were responsible for safeguarding and overseeing the city's welfare.

Joseph decided to wait until nightfall to attack Oxwade Academy in the city's center.

That night, the streets were still not quiet. It would probably never be quiet as many students wandered around and hung out at night. But that was an advantage for Joseph because then he could walk casually to the academy casually without being suspected.

He then recalled Joseph and Laveya's expressions during the discussion, and he realized that both of them were underestimating him.

"They were both convinced from the beginning that I wouldn't be able to get in. The academy must have many strong people to stop just one high priest. I assume that at least 5-6 high priests are needed to attack the academy.

That means if I wanted to attack the academy with only 200 people, I would have to infiltrate one by one at regular intervals, and that would waste a lot of time and be troublesome."

Walking towards the back gate of Oxwade Academy, Jospeh tried his best to hold back his laughter while thinking, "That must be what you guys think, right?!" Joseph slashed his hand and drew a large circle of blood on the ground beneath it.

"God Blessing, Calling Servant," Joseph muttered. 'You look down on me because you don't know my god's blessing, and you don't think I'll use it either!'

For the high priest and all members of the daemon servus, using the god's blessing was blasphemy; doing that is forbidden by the Ordo because it was equivalent to asking angels and spirits for help. However, there is no written rule in the order that actually states that they are forbidden to use the god's blessing. In fact, one of the reverse testaments says "Do as you will, and follow your desire," which Joseph interpreted to mean that he could use it as long as it was for his own desire to become the only direct subordinate of Satan.

From the circle of blood he created, one by one, people in dark red robes came out, all of them were the Servus led by Joseph.

"I already know Percival's position and where he is sleeping. 200 Servus should be enough to create an uproar; in the middle of the uproar, I will kill Percival and put him in the grail!"

Suddenly, a voice whispered next to his ear.

"Oh my? Your plan is simpler than I thought." The hoarse voice instantly shattered Joseph's superhuman composure, causing him to jump backward into the forest behind the academy's wall.

"WHO ARE YOU?!"

'No, that look, he matches the data Father Alester provided.'

An old man two times the height of an adult human, with white clothes covered with various plants, also wore a large hat topped with various plants. The plants on top of him were moving around, not because of the wind, but because the roots were moving unnaturally. His hair was not visible because it was hidden under his hat, but his long beard could be clearly seen hanging down until he had to tie it around his body.

"Eliphas Ingranius the Untouchable!" shouted Joseph.

"Hmm hmm of course you know me; I'm quite famous in this world, but I hope with my name spread, people like you won't even try to come here."

Joseph immediately prepared with the Book of Legis, then ordered all his men, "Attack the academy!"

All of them immediately ran quickly, jumping towards the academy; originally he did that to measure the ability of the famous Eliphas, but as it turned out,

'He let them pass?!'

In an instant

-BOOM

One of the academy's buildings exploded, which was also one of Joseph's plans.

"Hahaha! This way, the academy will be destroyed! Are you just going to stand by and watch the academy crumble?!"

"It's fine anyway; from the start, taking care of it will be tiring, and I also don't want to use the troublesome magic to kill you all at once."

"Magic? FUHAHAHA? What the hell is that?! You're just pretending to be brave! I know about you; you never run, right? Although you have great mana, and vast knowledge, in return, speed was taken from you! A curse earned from too much knowledge!"

"You misunderstand; it's a curse but not a side effect."

Eliphas raised his hand and pointed his finger at Joseph.

'What the heck did he try to do?!'

In front of his finger came a ray of light, and it swirled around to form an imperfect square with a circle in the center. The circle was like a collection of two luminous threads, black and white, trying to destroy each other, but because of it, the energy of 'destroying' was becoming bigger and bigger.

'There's no amnis circle, that means, is that his god's blessing?'

"Not at all," Eliphas replied as if he knew Joseph's thoughts.

"It's amnis; closest to magic. It's just that you don't realize it when I use it.

Mana is affected by emotions and thoughts, and because of the god's curse I have, I have gained the ability to 'reach my enemy quickly,' so even though I walk slowly, I have an acceleration that is 10 times better for mana.

As a bonus, I'll tell you something. This ray you see in front of you is a ray that can only be created for ten years."

The Book of Legis shone, and Eliphas was shot with two black arrows from behind.

"You think I'm going to let you blabber on!" shouted Joseph.

"You will be a bad student."

In an instant, very fast and very precisely, the light was hurled at Joseph,

As a result, Joseph's body was instantly burned, melted, and destroyed in just an instant. However, Joseph felt like he had been melted for ten years.

"You can call it magic. I named it 'God Particle,' but I realized this ability was too dangerous and would cause a tremendous explosion. That's why I included an amnis mixture that creates gamma rays around it.

This ability also has a time dilation effect, which works between mana and the world. Meaning, the time dilation between 'feelings' and 'reality' makes the mind run fast, and the world feels really slow to you.

Although here you die in an instant, in your mind, you have already felt the dissolution of that body for ten years while alive."

Eliphas sighed, then looked deep into the forest.

"Have you understood? Hopefully by showing this, you will not come to the academy in the next 100 years, or forever," it turned out that someone was watching Joseph. Because Eliphas noticed it, the watcher immediately got goosebumps and fled in fear.

"OOohh... How long have I been standing? 10 minutes? That's 5 hours in that world. My body must be very sore."

"That's because you used your god's blessing to fight the weak!" his staff suddenly spoke, with a lady's voice.

"This is very necessary; in this century all heroes will be born, and I want to make the academy a peaceful place of learning for them."

Eliphas clapped his hands, making the whole world monochrome, and the monochrome world was sucked into Eliphas' hands.

The academy burned down, and everything was as if it had never happened.

"Controlling space, time, and amnis simultaneously is really tiring; I'll ask Elis to bring me a lot of wine later."
