All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents Chapter 255 - 161: Archbishop of Death—Lu Cang

Discussing philosophy, solving puzzles, reading books, and practicing Combat Skills.

Lu Cang felt his life was quite refined.

If this were ancient China, he would probably be considered a man of letters, a scholar-gentleman.

Ti flew by, and soon, it was December 5th.

During this period,

Lu Cang spent his days borrowing Yuna’s Scholar knowledge. In the afternoons, he would attend a class, after which he would head straight for the Forbidden Book Library.

Using the temporarily borrowed Scholar ability, he blissfully absorbed knowledge.

With the Scholar’s knowledge extraction, Lu Cang’s reading speed was much faster than before.

Although he was spending less ti in the Forbidden Book Library,

his actual learning progress was even faster than before.

By now, Lu Cang had read nearly three hundred books from the Forbidden Book Library.

At this rate, Lu Cang estimated he could finish reading all the Forbidden Books in the library by the end of the month.

And it was on this very day.

The city gates swung wide open!

Sounds of celebration and cannon fire erupted from before the gates.

"Iz and the others are back!"

Lu Cang already knew they would be returning today.

In fact, he had received a ssage from them on the 2nd.

The matter over there had been completely resolved, but they needed so ti for wrap-up work.

’Right... It seems like the damage they caused wasn’t minor.’

’It makes sense they’d need to put a lot of effort into cleaning up.’

Lu Cang stood on the city walls of Kernoya. He hadn’t gone near the wilderness since the Month of Death and Destruction began.

The principle of "safety first" was always at the forefront of his mind.

Seeing the familiar Dragon Rhinoceros Carriage galloping across the wasteland,

Lu Cang’s heart was finally at ease.

’Looks like another peaceful day,’ he thought.

In Kernoya, cannons fired in unison and cheers shook the heavens.

Lu Cang transford into a streak of light and landed inside the Dragon Rhinoceros Carriage. All the familiar faces were there.

"Yo!"

"Brother! You have no idea what we’ve been through!"

BANG!

BANG BANG BANG—

The celebratory cannons and fireworks didn’t stop all day.

In a tavern, Chi Cheng raised a glass of white beer. "You guys don’t know this, but for the first few days after we arrived at the Valley of the Deep Fall, we didn’t find a thing!"

"But on the day the Moon changed! Thanks to Lu Luwei’s sharp eyes!"

Chi Cheng suddenly paused for dramatic effect and took a sip of his beer.

"Go on! Sharp eyes for what?!"

"What did she find?!"

"Damn it, just say it! What are you doing?!"

He was really driving the story listeners crazy!

"Do you know?"

"That Bishop from the Death Church, he wasn’t in the Valley of the Deep Fall, but tens of thousands of feet up in the sky!"

"Can you believe that? Tens of thousands of feet!"

"It was the end of the Cold Moon, with a blizzard raging everywhere. Who would’ve noticed soone hiding way up there in the freezing sky!"

"But the mont the Moon changed, Lu Luwei sensed sothing was wrong! She acted imdiately! Fired an Arrow into the sky! And interrupted that Death Church Bishop’s Ritual!"

"That’s why his Ritual couldn’t achieve its full Effect!"

"But even so! He still managed to summon a terrifying phantasm of the White!"

"Turns out! He had brought a Holy Artifact of the Death Church! A broken strand of hair from the White of Death and Destruction."

"Using this Holy Artifact to communicate with the White, he actually called down a worldly projection of the Pure White!"

"If that phantasm had been allowed to truly remain in this world, it would have caused imasurable destruction!"

"Thinking of the devastation it would bring to the continent, I was enraged! Even when faced with a Divine Spirit, I didn’t hesitate to act! I drew my sword and swung it against the heavens! I made an enemy of a god and held my sword against the Celestial Abyss!"

"You ask about Iz?"

"Iz just tossed a few spells from the back."

PFFT—

Listening from the side, Lu Cang almost spat out his drink.

’A few spells?’

’You an a Tier Six Root Magic?’

Lu Cang didn’t jump in to defend Iz, because he knew Iz would retort himself.

"Chi Cheng, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"If it weren’t for my Root Magic that destroyed its ’One Realm Death Knell’ technique, do you have any idea how many people on this continent would have died?"

Chi Cheng: "I’m just asking, was I the one who physically suppressed the pure white phantasm head-on?"

Iz: "Are you suggesting a Mage should be the one to physically suppress it head-on?"

"Besides, suppressing it head-on with Magic is still suppression."

"If Obades hadn’t been there to protect you, you would’ve died who knows how many tis."

"Hah, I was the one who dealt the finishing blow."

"You only look at the final blow? Not the overall contribution during the fight?"

"When it cos to overall contribution, mine was definitely the highest. Is your sustained suppression stronger than mine?"

"Are you questioning the suppressive power of my Magic?"

Heh heh...

’I’ve seen this scene more than once.’

Lu Cang looked to his side. "Sister Kumironi, everything should be fine now, right?"

A faint smile appeared on Kumironi’s face. "Mm, we’ve already checked. The Bishop sacrificed his own life to summon the pure white phantasm."

"Besides, Iz already blasted that entire area into nothingness."

"There shouldn’t be any remnants left."

’Isn’t that a little too violent?’

Lu Cang recalled the scene of Iz killing the Subrged Land Level Demon.

’He really did... blast it into nothingness.’

"The leader of the Death Church is dead. The remaining stragglers are no cause for concern."

"After this month passes, we’ll conduct another wave of clean-up operations. We can finally consider this thousand-year-old scourge of the Life Church to be eliminated..."

Kumironi sipped her tea calmly.

Her tone held a hint of lighthearted relief.

’This is not good...’

’How am I going to tell Kumironi that so of these so-called "remnants" approached just a few days ago?’

’And that they want to revere as the new "leader" of the Death Church?’

’Can I even say it?’

’No... I’d better not bring this up with Kumironi first.’

’I’ll talk to Iz and Chi Cheng first.’
