#2851 - Black Fog Area

A leader-class creature.

And a high-intensity leader at that.

Coupled with the numerous Arcane Red Crows and the Codex of the End coiled around the Binding Stone Coffin, it's very difficult for the team to deal with.

In addition to members directly under the Holy Court, there are also two player squads participating in this operation.

The leaders of the two player squads looked at each other, both realizing the problem was thorny.

The situation is not good.

What we've encountered in the hall are all high-level creatures from the high-level game world - the Arcane World.

"The Binding Stone Coffin is an arcane creature, inherently immune to most magical effects. Only melee and ranged physical attacks are effective."

"It's tricky. Most of us are proficient in magic, with very few even having melee skills. This group of arcane creatures is even better at locking onto targets with ranged spells, and ranged physical attacks are intercepted. We've tried several times, and it's impossible to get close."

"Indeed, it's very difficult." Player squad leader Klen shook his head, glanced down the stairs, and said, "It's hard to completely eliminate the Black Mist Pillar with our strength alone. How about we wait a bit longer? The Federation's official forces should be gathering soon, right?"

"Don't even dream about it. The West District Federation has always seen our Holy Court as a thorn in their side. They're probably delighted that the Holy District is encountering the Black Mist. Wanting them to come and rescue us is just wishful thinking."

Worry flashed in Klen's eyes, "The Black Mist is still spreading. If we don't resolve it quickly, I'm afraid its intensity will only increase, and it will affect the believers in the nearby church area."

"Everyone, don't be impatient. Let's rest for a while and then try again."

Archbishop Wolfe raised his hand to stop the players' discussion, and said, "Later, I will try to control the Binding Stone Coffin. Please assist us in finding a way to clear out the surrounding Arcane Red Crows and Codex of the End, weaken the number of arcane creatures, and then we'll make further plans..."

Everyone fell silent.

It seems that taking down the leader creature in one go is impossible.

We can only spend time slowly grinding it down.

Hopefully, we'll make it in time.

The players looked at each other, no longer saying much, preparing to recover their condition and try again.

Suddenly, two players in the team specializing in perception stood up, looked towards the stairs, and whispered a reminder, "Careful, someone's coming."

Is it someone from the West District Federation?

The players immediately became alert and stood up, looking towards the rear.

Huh?

He's alone?

The Black Mist area is full of arcane creatures. They were only able to enter the sixth floor with the help of Holy Court Archbishop Wolfe.

"Halt! Who are you?"

Fang Heng raised his head, gazing at the group of players gathered at the entrance of the sixth floor.

Thirty-two people in total.

Judging from the perception feedback, other than the Archbishop, who is relatively difficult to deal with, the others should be easy to handle.

Looks like they're resting.

Fang Heng quickly made a judgment.

He and the Holy Court are already mortal enemies, there's no need to hold back.

However, he can't unleash his full strength outside of the game, so he needs to be careful.

Let's test it first.

Consider using the aura of Holy Studies to blend into this team, and then find a chance to kill them.

Fang Heng looked around and asked, "Is that Archbishop Wolfe?"

"Who are you? What business do you have with the Archbishop?"

"Do not be rude!"

Behind the group, Wolfe got up and stood up, stopping the players. He stared at Fang Heng for a moment, then a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, but he still respectfully bowed to Fang Heng, "Holy Court Archbishop Wolfe greets the Great Sage."

What the hell? Great Sage!?

Listening to what Wolfe said, everyone, including the Holy Court believers, had a look of disbelief on their faces.

Him?

The Holy Court's Great Sage!?

Beneath the God King, the Twelve Sages.

In the Holy Court, the Great Sage can already be considered second only to one and above all others.

And he just appeared in front of them like this.

And he looks like such an ordinary young man?

After the initial shock, someone took the lead, and everyone knelt on one knee towards Fang Heng.

"Greetings, Great Sage!"

Fang Heng was also a little confused, and the surprise on his face flashed away.

That's right!

He suddenly realized that his current identity is Fang Bai!

After the restriction on the Divine Artifact Mimicry identity was lifted, he didn't use Fang Heng's body shape and appearance to come to the West District Federation in order to avoid trouble. He's currently using Fang Bai's identity.

And Fang Bai's identity in God's Domain is still the Great Sage!

After killing Su Ziyue in God's Domain, he chose to leave in order to avoid being seen through by the Holy Court's Twelve Sages.

Fang Heng never expected that an Archbishop in the real world could recognize him based solely on his appearance and body shape?

"You recognize me?"

Wolfe raised his head and explained: "Since the God's Domain crisis was resolved, God's Domain has ordered a comprehensive search for your news in all worlds. Your appearance is recorded in all our cathedrals. In fact, we discovered that you took a train into the West District Federation in the early stages through some system comparisons."

"However, since you didn't reveal your identity and didn't go to the Holy Cathedral, we believe that you may have other important matters that need special handling. In order to avoid causing you trouble, we decided not to disturb you."

Good heavens.

So it turns out that his actions were being monitored by the Federation.

The Holy Court's power in the real world is evident.

"I see, rise, everyone."

Everyone then stood up.

Fang Heng scanned the group of players, looked at Archbishop Wolfe, and didn't say a word.

"Great Sage, please rest assured, these people are the Holy Court's most loyal believers, you can completely trust them."

"Wolfe, how much do you know about the West District Federation's Starmap Project?"

"The Starmap Project is a cooperative agreement secretly reached between the West District Federation and the Scavengers. According to the content of the cooperation agreement, the West District Federation will establish a Starmap under the guidance of the Scavengers, and at the same time establish a front line to resist the spread of the Black Mist."

"Is that so, it doesn't sound bad, and it doesn't affect our Holy Court."

"Great Sage, you don't know, Great Sage, this move is also a last resort. The Scavengers are a race that integrates technology and the mind. They have always been technologists. There is no possibility of cooperation between us and the Scavengers."

Wolfe shook his head and explained, "Moreover, the Scavengers' purpose in establishing the Starmap is not just for protection. Once the Starmap is fully established, our world will be under the Scavengers' surveillance, and the entire world will be controlled by the Scavengers."

"At that time, I'm afraid our Holy Court will be driven out by the Scavengers."

"Great Sage." Player squad leader Klen cupped his fist towards Fang Heng and said, "Not only that, but recently we also discovered that the West District Federation is colluding with the Scavengers, secretly stimulating the Black Mist, trying to gradually spread the Black Mist, so that more people are in life-threatening danger."
