Chapter 103 The Battle Between the Prophet and the Wizard
Chapter 103 The Battle Between the Prophet and the Wizard
The black-robed wizard was vigorously waving his staff on the high platform.
The magic crystal on the staff flickered continuously, causing the runes on the staff's handle to light up, and his movements, rising and falling like a dance or a ritual...
The burning flames before them spun rapidly like a tornado, rising ever higher. The flames coiled across the square like a giant fire serpent, taller than the temple itself, as if everyone were to worship beneath it.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Olympian believers grew even more fervent, chanting the names of the gods and raising their torches as if in response to the dancing fiery serpent. Meanwhile, the believers on the temple's side watched the miraculous spectacle in terror, speechless, some even wavering in their resolve…
Immediately afterward, the black-robed wizard gripped his staff with both hands and slammed it into the ground. The enormous, dancing fire serpent instantly transformed into countless swirling sparks, these countless sparks following some kind of will...
The scattered dots in mid-air form vivid and intuitive images.
At this moment, some insiders in the crowd led exclamations: "This is divination for the Kingdom of Argos!"
"The great prophecy foretold the grand destiny of that kingdom!"
The crowd was utterly astonished.
But before they could even gasp, the image formed by Mars gradually became clear.
They saw a horrifying scene:
The entire Argos was reduced to ruins; familiar buildings, houses, and even palaces had all collapsed, and the roads were littered with corpses and flames...
All the people of Argos died.
But only one shadow stood above all living beings: the First Prince, Perseus!
"What?!"
"What happened? Why was it a ruin in the prophecy?!"
"The eldest prince? Why does the eldest prince appear in the prophecy?"
"I saw so many corpses, so many people were dead!"
"What exactly happened?"
'
'
Fear arose in the hearts of those Olympian believers.
Many neutral citizens were also shocked by the devastating scene that emerged from the flames.
They were plunged into confusion and boundless panic.
Meanwhile, the wizard on the high platform who had cast this great prophetic spell, his eyes trembling and tears streaming down his face, made his judgment on the prophetic scene—
"It was Prince Perseus who was bewitched by the evil god!"
"He brought disaster!"
"All of Argos...will be destroyed because of Prince Perseus!"
The moment the divination interpretation was revealed, the entire crowd erupted in uproar...
Whether they were believers in the Olympian gods, neutral citizens, or even some who believed in God and the Messiah, all were deeply moved by this prophecy...
Because of their reverence for the fiery phenomenon, they instinctively believed the black-robed wizard's explanation, concluding that one day Argos would face destruction because of the eldest prince, Perseus.
Therefore, their great affection for Prince Perseus vanished in an instant.
Even many nobles who supported Perseus's succession to the throne began to waver after learning of this prophecy, and then planned to withdraw their investment in Perseus and support the second prince to obtain the crown of King of Argos.
Upon seeing the panicked expressions on the faces of the people, the black-robed wizard was secretly delighted.
This is his own, regardless of whether the prophecy can actually be fulfilled.
But as long as he manages to discredit Perseus and alienate the people of the Temple, his mission will be accomplished.
However, just as the crowd in the square was gripped by panic...
The believers inside the temple began to waver.
A voice rang out, "Your god is a false god..."
""
"Your technique is nothing but a bizarre and ingenious trick!"
"Your divination and predictions are all falsehoods and fraud!"
"Lost lambs, do not panic..."
""
"I will expose that wizard's lies and deception!!"
As this voice, filled with fervor and anger, resounded throughout the temple and the square...
All the people present couldn't help but turn their gazes towards it.
A figure emerged from the temple.
The man was dressed in a pure white robe with gilded patterns and held a scepter.
He was holy and noble as he slowly walked out of the temple, standing before the believers and above all people.
at this time.
Only then did everyone realize that the man's face was that of the High Priest of the Temple, personally appointed by the King.
Archangel Gabriel's closest friend;
The Messiah himself forgives the righteous who have died;
A healer who uses miraculous water to save lives and help the world;
A prophet who performs revelation and divination =
"It's Saint Zack!"
The crowd gasped in surprise.
Nazak, holding a scepter and trailing a long priest's robe, stepped onto the platform and stood opposite the wizard.
His eyes burned with fury as he stared at the wizard.
then.
In the witness of all people.
On that high platform.
The prophet in white robes, the wizard in black robes.
One man held a scepter bestowed by the king, while the other grasped a black, unidentified staff...
They faced off amidst the flames.
The prophet Zak cried out to all the people: "Hear well, peoples of Argos!"
"The scene in the prophecy was not brought about by the eldest prince!"
"But it is the eldest prince who will save you from calamity and destruction... and liberate Argos!"
As he spoke, the saint brandished the scepter, which ultimately pointed to the sky.
Meanwhile.
After the fiery phenomenon displayed by the wizard.
The second miracle appeared in the city of Argos |—
Suddenly, a dazzling holy light flashed across the sky.
In an instant.
Even the outline of the sun was obscured by that holy light.
The people couldn't help but look up at the sky.
But to their astonishment, they saw in the light a scene similar to, yet entirely different from, the wizard's prophecy: Perseus, radiant from head to toe, standing atop the highest point of the ruins.
He held aloft a long, gleaming sword.
And below.
The ruins were densely packed with countless people and soldiers.
They knelt before Perseus.
They shouted, "A new king shall rise!"
In an instant.
The people who witnessed two completely different divine prophecies were utterly bewildered.
The flames on the ground revealed destruction, while the holy light in the sky revealed new life.
Even the Olympian believers and the Catholic believers were just as bewildered as the general public at this moment.
.
I didn't know what to do for a moment.
And this time.
Upon seeing this, the black-robed wizard on the high platform sneered and said, "Priest of the evil god, you truly possess the power to bewitch people..."
"Since that's the case, do you dare to challenge me to a magical duel?"
"Let's see whose divine power is greater!"
"Let the people themselves discern..."
"Whose divination is the truth...?"
"Whose prophecy is false!"
The prophet in white robes held a scepter.
He was not a wizard and never made any pact with gods or false spirits.
He was not a warrior; he was utterly powerless.
He also did not possess any magical weapons, so he could not use the magic crystal to perform witchcraft or magic.
But he did not back down in the slightest.
Before the crowd, he answered fearlessly, shouting: "Apostle of false gods..."
'
"You, like a cunning beast, lead the lamb to the precipice of death!"
"And I will expose the fangs beneath your skin..."
""
"So that the righteous may come to the way of righteousness!"
"For I am a saint chosen by the Messiah..."
'
"The Holy Spirit is with me!"
