I Just Followed You Out

Of the three, only the Martial Combat Faction Holy Knight, with the added protection of his armor, could barely keep up with Luo Jun's speed. The nun only felt a moment of disorientation before Luo Jun closed in on her!

At this moment, Luo Jun had already sheathed his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, raised his fist, and punched towards the nun's face!

Brush!

The fist suddenly disappeared when it was still a dozen centimeters away from the nun, disappearing into Different Space. At the same moment, Space Crack appeared behind Luo Jun, and his fist struck out, hitting him squarely in the back of the head!

It was that old bishop's ability again; he could deflect any attack. With that ability, even if I brought out my own Flame Turret and Longitudinal and Horizontal Giant Cannon, it would probably be useless. The Explosive Bullet and cannonballs would only end up hitting him; it was practically an invincible defense...

However, Luo Jun believes that true invincibility does not exist in the world!

After being punched, his body only trembled slightly, and then he nonchalantly threw another punch!

He was attacked again, but Luo Jun remained unfazed. Despite the attacks, he relentlessly pursued the nun and unleashed a Storm Magic barrage of blows!

"Ora ora ora ora..."

With his powerful Root Bone, his iron fists were like machine guns, unleashing a continuous barrage of attacks on the nun!

The old bishop's abilities were troublesome, but Luo Jun still managed to come up with a way to counter them.

Luo Jun guessed that this defensive method of redirecting attacks was either because he saw the attack coming and actively created space to redirect it, or because it was some kind of buff effect that, once applied, would automatically redirect all attacks to the attacker!

If it's the former, then all you need to do is be fast enough to catch him off guard!

Unfortunately, Luo Jun's machine-gun-like barrage of attacks, no matter how fast or how tricky the angles, was all accurately neutralized and reflected back onto him!

It seems to be the latter... Luo Jun's lips curled up slightly, that makes it even more interesting!

Using his speed advantage, he relentlessly pursued the nun, increasing the frequency of his attacks. However, these punches were only fast, but their power was less than a tenth of his previous attacks. When they hit Luo Jun himself, they were not enough to cause any damage! But the others did not have his strong physique, especially the nun from the Elemental School, whose Protective Qi Strength enough. Even if she were to be hit by one of his punches, it would be no joke!

I can take a thousand or eight hundred punches and it won't matter, but you'll be finished if you take just one punch!

In this situation, the defensive capabilities cannot be withdrawn, and spatial transfer is not about power. Regardless of whether his punch is heavy or light, the energy consumed to transfer a punch should be the same!

One punch can be redirected, ten punches can be redirected, but what about a hundred punches, a thousand punches!

Even if it only takes you a Breath Vital Energy to transfer a punch, I can drain you dry with just a few thousand punches!

Sure enough, as Luo Jun launched his frenzied, continuous attacks, the bishop's face began to darken, and the nun's expression changed from composure to panic... However, she had just used the Firebird's Ultimate Move and couldn't muster much energy for the time being. She could only barely unleash a few flames to counterattack, which was no match for Luo Jun!

"Quickly, activate the spatial lockdown again and trap that guy inside!"

Seeing that his energy was about to run out, Bishop Jacob used the intercom hanging in his collar to address the upper-level Holy See officials. "On my command, be ready to lift the spatial blockade at any time!"

Of course, the opportunity is only for a moment. The fact that "Night" could appear in [Utopia] without warning suggests that he may also possess spatial abilities or a magical artifact... Therefore, the spatial seal can only be opened for a moment and then immediately closed to trap him here!

While keeping an eye on the depletion of his internal energy, the bishop also kept a close watch on the three-way battle, and finally seized a suitable opportunity!

As soon as the bishop appeared, he gave a loud command, and the staff immediately obeyed, starting to tinker with the complex equipment.

As for the Holy Knight, he did chase after her wielding his greatsword, but Luo Jun was relentlessly pursuing the nun. When he rushed in, it became a three-way fight. The nun's melee combat skills were far inferior to the other two, and Luo Jun used her positioning to block the attacks, putting the Holy Knight in a very passive position!

The operators above were ready. Upon hearing the command, they immediately pressed the control lever. Instantly, the bishop felt his Space Ability released. He immediately cast a spell, and Space Gate appeared around the nun and the Holy Knight. Moreover, they fell into the portals in the direction they were moving in at that moment, without even needing to be warned!

At the same time, Space Gate appeared in front of him. He stepped through it and instantly found himself in a spacious hall. The hall was filled with instruments with a distinct steampunk gear design, and there were many staff members dressed in Holy See uniforms operating the equipment.

"Lift the lockdown now!"

A questioning voice suddenly came from behind, and the bishop felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw the young man wearing Half-Face Mask standing in the center of the hall, his hand gripping Sister Salina's neck. The Holy Knight Hank beside him was pointing his greatsword at him. "Release her!"

"Who are you going to trap inside?"

As a top-level containment facility, how could it not have restrictions on spatial abilities? With the spatial blockade activated, even Jacob, who specializes in Space Teleportation, can only use it within the containment facility's boundaries and cannot teleport outside. Only this level of containment can ensure that the mysterious beings contained within do not escape!

But that won't work now. This "night" is more difficult to deal with than he imagined. He can only use Space Teleportation to escape, leaving himself here.

"None of you intended to let me go, yet now you expect me to let her go?" Luo Jun tightened his grip, and Shalina showed a pained expression as she tried to activate the flames on her body, but was suppressed by an even stronger force.

As an Elemental School, if someone gets their vital points grabbed at close range, there's basically no chance of escape.

Hank gritted his teeth in frustration, but there was nothing he could do. The priests around him also drew their weapons and pointed them at Luo Jun, but they dared not step forward.

"Stay away, all of you. He's not someone you can handle." The bishop dismissed the priests and looked at Luo Jun: "How did you get out here?"

"I just followed you guys out," Luo Jun laughed. "It's Teleportation Gate, not just you guys can use it!"

How could this be? The bishop had timed the opening of the Teleportation Gate perfectly, without consulting anyone. Even Shalina and Hank didn't have time to react; they simply fell in due to inertia, and the portal closed immediately afterward! Even if "Night" saw the Teleportation Gate and wanted to follow it out, it would still need time to react and change its course of action. There was no way it could have made it in time!

The bishop's thinking was actually quite good. Even if Luo Jun's reaction and speed surpassed theirs, he probably wouldn't be able to keep up with this kind of Teleportation Gate that was deliberately designed to catch them off guard... But the problem was, what if Luo Jun had already made preparations and was waiting for him to cast the teleportation spell?

In the instant before the Firebird exploded, the bishop used the Teleportation Gate to pull the Holy Knight away. At that moment, Luo Jun wondered why the three of them didn't teleport away with such a convenient ability. This underground containment facility was completely sealed off and its depth was unknown. Although there were definitely Secret Door for normal entry and exit, it would take him a while to find them. If the three of them had realized something was wrong and teleported away immediately, they could have trapped him here for at least a few hours, or even a few days.

But since they didn't do that, it means there's some kind of restriction within this facility; Space Magic simply can't connect to the outside world!

That makes things simple. As long as you demonstrate enough dominance, they'll eventually try to escape, either by opening the Secret Door or by breaking the spatial restrictions to teleport away. If you want to completely trap him, the latter is definitely the safest option!

Therefore, Luo Jun kept observing the bishop during the battle, waiting for him to use teleportation. To this end, he even deliberately created an "opportunity"!

The moment the Space Gate appeared, he threw himself onto Sister Salina and was ejected from the portal.

"Release Shalina..." The bishop raised his hands, trying to Soothing Luo Jun: "Any conditions are negotiable..."

"Now you know how to negotiate?" Luo Jun sneered. "Why weren't you so polite when we first met?"

"As a citizen of Zhendan, your sudden appearance in [Utopia] without the permission of the Holy See violates the International Otherworld Exploration Accord. According to regulations, we have the right to arrest you... We are merely fulfilling our duties..."

Luo Jun recalled that there was indeed such a rule in the academy's textbooks... however, the content of it restricted career explorers, and he hadn't read it much... After all, even if such a rule existed, it wouldn't mean much to ordinary people. Without the permission of the official organization, who could possibly appear in the world under its jurisdiction...

"My conditions have been made very clear," Luo Jun said in a deep voice. "I'm here to see Yuan Shouzhen. What is this place you mentioned earlier, Amgilla? Is he there?"

"Is that really all?" Bishop Jacob frowned. "Going to such lengths to use a device that allows you to travel to other worlds, how much did your employer pay you?"

"That's none of your business. Just answer my question!"

As he spoke, he mentally checked whether he had obtained accurate information, and the result indicated success.

The bishop sighed and explained, "Amgilla is a mysterious place in the Parami Region, passed down through generations. Its name means ' Eternity oasis in the desert.' According to legend, as early as six thousand years ago, the entire Parami Region was an endless sea of sand. The creator Deity, Karruth, created the first oasis here, allowing the ancestors of the Parami to live and multiply, establishing the earliest human nation. That oasis was called Amgilla!"

"However, later, due to war and disaster, the Deity were angered, and Karruth Divine Punishment by sinking this first oasis in the world into the sea of sand. The surviving Parami left the desert and established new kingdoms elsewhere. But without the protection of Amgilla, Parami never regained their former glory and were constantly invaded and enslaved by foreign tribes, until now, they have become a colony of the Utopian Empire."

"Myth stories?" Luo Jun frowned after hearing this. "I don't want to hear these vague and unfounded legends."

"Our understanding of Amgilla is limited to this," the bishop explained. "Before last year, none of the Ancient Parami artifacts unearthed here were over five thousand years old, and the Holy See simply regarded the Amgilla legend as a creation Myth found in every ancient civilization. Until the beginning of this year, someone found several artifacts in the central Hairub Desert whose style was highly similar to ancient Palamira artifacts, but after dating, their age was found to be over five thousand three hundred years!"

"Geological surveys show that the central Hairub Desert was purely sandy for at least tens of thousands of years, unsuitable for human habitation. Furthermore, the nearest water source is over two thousand kilometers away, and almost no one ventures there now. Why would people from over five thousand years ago go to the deepest part of this desert? And where did these artifacts come from?" The bishop looked into Luo Jun's eyes. "The only explanation is that a lost civilization truly existed there!"
