World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 360

Varona showed no hesitation and walked towards Isa.

“Speak, there is nothing about our Fuxi royalty that can't be revealed” she said.

Isa raised her eyebrows from not expecting her to actually come closer.

And closer, and closer.

Under the watchful eyes of the guests here, Monarch Varona now stands in front of Isa.

They were only half a meter apart.

Foolish…

Isa silently mumbled to herself.

She can't help but admit that she's tempted to kill her right now.

Once Varona dies, Fuxi will definitely fall into chaos.

The Holy Empire is already in her hands, with her methods, she'll be able to take a big chunk off Fuxi as well.

Manpower, resources, riches, Professionists, they're all things that I need right now.

Isa slowly stood up.

She whispered: “Varona, I'll make this quick, your black crow, or more precisely the golden-armored guardian is a thief. He stole a treasure of the Holy Church, call him out to meet me right now, or I won't hold back”

Varona asked: “A treasure of the Holy Church? What would that be?”

Isa stopped for a moment, then answered: “At Madame Punta's banquet, he stole a painting”

“Painting?” Varona was suspicious.

Isa added: “The one that depicts Anna becoming the crown princess”

Varona looked at Isa with a very sarcastic expression.

She answered: “If I remember correctly, that painting belongs to the royal family, the King himself gifted it to Madame Punta as a decoration for her front hall, since when did it become yours?”
“Even if Black Crow had taken it, how did you know it wasn't princess Anna that gave it to Black Crow?”
“Princess Anna is the heir to all the fortunes of the royal family, she hasn't even spoke about her views on this yet. What right do YOU have to ask for an item of the royal family?”

Being questioned so, Isa fell silent.

According to normal logic, she really doesn't have any.

“Then, let us not speak of that” Isa changed the subject: “Your guardian not only stole those items, he also tried to assassinate me”

The banquet hall became rowdy.

Isa stared straight at Varona and emphasized every word: “Get him out here to see me, that is fine as well”

“You said he tried to assassinate you? That's very intriguing”

Varona's sarcastic smirk only became clearer.

In front of everyone here, she slowly explained: “As you all you, Black Crow and the dog deity are the great guardian deities of the Holy Church of Death, servants of the death god”
“And if you said Black Crow tried to assassinate you, that is indeed very correct”

“Correct?” Isa repeated.

“That's right, you stole the authority of the Holy Church, soiling the name of our god. Black Crow did his job and punished you, and yet you still don't understand?”
“If you truly are the Holy Church of Death's Pope, why would Black Crow want to have death befall yourself?”
Varona looked around and loudly declared: “That is why you will always be nothing but a heretic that stole to get her authority, that is why Death god himself will punish you”

Isa couldn't hold back her killing intent anymore and raised her hand: “Blasphemous! The true harbinger of you mortal's death is no one but me!”

A few cards appeared in her hands.

She wants to kill Varona.

In the blink of an eye, Varona disappeared.

Three youths appeared in front of Isa.

Gu Qing Shan let go of his hand from Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li's shoulders.

Using [Shadow Shift], they switched places with Varona.

“What!”

Isa's opened her eyes wide, unable to contain her surprise.

She felt an unprecedented sense of danger.

The very next moment.

Zhang Ying Hao held two coldly gleaming daggers, stabbing them at Isa's throat.

Ye Fei Li roared as a bloody glow flowed from his hand.

A longsword appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan as he stabbed it forward.

All three of them attacked at once, looking to kill her in an instant!

Zhang Ying Hao is the world renowned King of Assassins.

Ye Fei Li has far surpassed any 5th stage Professionists and became the strongest Man Killer Fiend.

Gu Qing Shan is an Ascended realm middle stage sword cultivator.

Sword cultivators are known to be excellent killers, not to mention how Gu Qing Shan is already a sword saint.

Even a cultivator who's a realm above wouldn't dare let a sword saint get so close to themselves!

Being caught off guard by three such people, no one in the world could stop it.

Even Isa would immediately be killed by the smallest of mistakes.

At the final moment.

A card appeared on top of Isa's head.

A card obscured in a brilliant flame, one that came from the Devils' God Asmodeus.

The flame completely scattered to reveal the card inside.

An antique clock was depicted on the card.

Countless skeletons had climbed onto the card, giving their everything to stop the clock hands from moving.

[Devil God card: Devil's deal with time]
[Note: Automatic-type high-ranked card, at the time of a fatal threat, freeze all attacking enemies in place, duration 5 seconds]

The card then shattered into tiny sprites of light.

At the same time, a male voice hurriedly rang out from Isa's mind.

“Isa, a mysterious death god has been watching you”
“This card I gift to you should be enough to kill the enemy that threatens your life!”
“Remember, attack with everything!”

5 seconds begun.

The 1st second!

Listening to Asmodeus' message, Isa still hadn't regained her composure yet.

In front of her, Gu Qing Shan, Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li were stopped in place.

An invisible air had enveloped them, including the daggers, the bloody glow and the white crescent sword slash, everything stopped in place, unable to move.

They were frozen in time.

While facing them, in the next second, Isa had drawn 11 cards at once!

The 2nd second!

Isa discarded the unusable cards and redrew them.

A full 5 seconds of being able to resist is more than enough for her to attack with her full power!

She smiled cruelly: “Trying to assassinate me? Die!”

The 3rd second!

Isa infused her power, about to activate the 11 cards in her hand.

From Gu Qing Shan's side, another sword appeared.

But before this sword could move, a blood-colored scroll appeared out of nowhere!

[A Moment of God's Lapse]
[Note: Automatic-type high-ranked scroll, at the time when your enemy is about to unleash a fatal attack, their mind will become blank, duration 3 seconds]

It started to release an intense red light.

Seeing that scroll, Isa screamed like she just saw the literal devil himself: “No! Bloodcloak!”

She then fell blank as if she was hit on the head with a bat.

[A Moment of God's Lapse] had activated!

The clock hand ticks, the 4th second!

The 11 cards on Isa's hand dispersed and disappeared.

In this second, both sides couldn't move a muscle.

The 5th second quickly came.

And the 5th second ended!

Bam!
Bam!

Two minute sounds rang out at the same time.

[Devil's deal with time] and [A Moment of God's Lapse] both ended.

Both sides were able to move again.

Three powerful attacks full of killing intent continued heading for Isa.

But this time, Isa didn't let her guard down.

She hurriedly drew cards while shouting: “Hurt!”

Hurt is the most powerful fighter of the Holy Church.

As long as he holds them off, I will have enough time to use my cards.

Isa believed this wholeheartedly.

The first card appeared in her hand.

Zhang Ying Hao's attack came.

“Parry!”

Isa yelled out as she held the card up.

Zhang Ying Hao was knocked away.

“Disperse!” Isa then drew the second card.

With a ‘pfoom', intense wind blew the bloody glow apart and swept Ye Fei Li away.

Isa flew backwards, shifting her body slightly.

She was giving Hurt an opening to come and receive Gu Qing Shan's attack for her.

As long as Hurt stops Gu Qing Shan's sword, she'll be able to draw two cards!

With two cards, I'll have enough time to catch my breath.

But no one came.

Gu Qing Shan's sword stabbed straight at her heart.

Isa's expression warped and bet her life on the next card drawn.

As she glanced at the card, she was overjoyed.

This was a defensive card.

As long as Hurt comes, with this card, she'll have more than enough leisure.

Isa instantly activated this defensive card.

A holy shield appeared from thin air, blocking in front of her.

Stab!

A second sword had stabbed her from behind straight through her heart.

Isa went stiff.

This is the killing blow.

Secret Art, [Swallow Returns]

There was no card to protect her behind her back.

Isa struggled to turn and looked at Hurt.

Great Holy Apostle Hurt's hands were burning with a holy white flame, but he silently stood there.

He had restrained himself to not enter the battle.

He was backing off.

“W…hy?” Isa questioned.

Hurt's eyes were bloodshot, clenching his fists tightly: “You killed my brother, he held nothing but absolute loyalty to you, but you killed him!”
