Chapter 1847 If They Are Desperate

"If they are desperate enough, they will take a flight here themselves," Jin added and the System did say that there were attempts to do so but the flights were all full. Even if they tried to be on the waiting list, it would only be possible to take maybe one or at most two of the Demon Exorcists to fly back into Italy.

At that point, when they are finishing up their conversation, it was about five minutes before midnight. Thus within the anti sound, anti visual barrier on top of the roof, Jin had made sure that the visuals coming from the birds were clear enough to see the entire battle at hand.

True enough, the Demon Exorcist Mages had already taken positions around the Colosseum, preparing trap formations as well as precasting spells so that they could use offensive lethal spells at the tip of their tongues.

At the same time, the Vatican Elite Guards had buffed themselves with the aid of the Demon Exorcist Mages as they were already in formation from the supposed petrification spell that Diego had cast previously. The supposed dimensional tear was also showing signs of breakage since what Diego did before they escaped the area was a temporary fix. Mages had consistently returned to the site to reinforce not only the dimensional tear but also the recasting of the petrification spell that Diego had done.

Since it was effective, they continued to do so while monitoring the situation until they were able to gather a force strong enough to defeat all of them in one swoop. Thus, that force had indeed been assembled and it would start its attack as soon as the clock strikes 12.

…Or so they thought.

Even though they had purposely extended the duration of the petrification spell and prolonged the fix on the dimensional tear, there were already signs of simultaneous breakage from both the spell and the tear. It was as if Diego had chosen the correct timing to handle these monsters.

"Why did the mages not kill them when they had been petrified?" Jin asked Lian as that was one thing he did not get. "It's not like they cannot cover the walls of the Colosseum and blast it with one big explosion."

"I think it's precisely because this is the Colosseum which is why they did not dare to do any extensively damaging spells. Imagine the cost it will incur on tourism. The main media will scrutinise the incident and the public would want answers."

"But it is not as if the Demon Exorcists is some kind of secret organisation. They are recognised." Jin said as the petrification spells finally broke and the Y'm-Bhi also known as Mutated Undead Warriors by Jin and Lian was active once more.

"All the more, the credibility of their actions will need to be justified since this is an ancient monument of the past that's filled with a loreful of history. Pardon the pun." Lian smirked a little when she replied. "Imagine the headlines. Demon Exorcists destroyed Colosseum in a bid to destroy monsters related to the unknown cases of serial killing."

"I will dig that." Jin smiled. After all, those places of relics can be repaired if they really want to. They ARE mages. Not like us cultivators who could only hold most offensive tricks under their sleeves."

"Anyways, It looks like the Vatican Elites are making short work of the group. They will probably make sure the dimensional tear is fixed as well." Lian said as she could also gauge the powers of those Vatican Elite Guards through her sensor skill and she noticed that they were not even near Jin's level as well. "By the way, can I ask what's your cultivation grade?" Lian felt that this question had been bugging her the entire day.

"Are you sure you would not be distracted if I told you the answer?" Jin queried.

"Yeah duh. I probably be shocked for a moment and then return to work." Lian replied and if Jin said if he was Grade 20, she would probably believe him as well.

"Ehhh Grade 4," Jin said so casually that Lian felt that it was a joke.

"Yeah, right. Come on. It is not like you really need to hide your cultivation even from your …erm employees?" Lian asked and Jin smiled.

"Ask the System. I am Grade 4, am I not?"

"Yes, the System had noted that Jin is a Grade 4 Cultivator."

"Well, he WAS a Grade 4 Cultivator. What's his grade now?" Lian asked once more as she could not believe that even the System had decided to play along with the joke.

"The System had no reasons to lie." The System reported and Jin even said that he was willing to take the heaven's oath right in front of her if she did not believe it.

"No… fucking way." Lian could not wrap her head around it. "You are a Grade 4 Cultivator?? Then what have I been doing with my cultivation if your chi and power intensity are so much different from mine." Lian mumbled to herself.

"Like I said, don't get distracted. I can swear to you an oath later when we are done with this if you really really want to know that I am not lying." Jin stated as he watched how the Mutated Undead Warriors were doing the very same thing that Jin had seen in his Demon Exorcists' point of view video.

"Even the Vatican Elites could not recognise the patterns? It did not make me feel like there's much brain in their actions." Jin shook his head in dismay. Eventually, the Guards felt that killing one at a time was the solution they had come up with. The causalities were numerous and it was to the point where the Mutated Undead Warriors started to aim for the Demon Exorcist Mages who were at the Colosseum stands.

Some of the Demon Exorcist Sword Magus were able to intercept them but their strength was nothing compared to the might of a Vatican Elite. So all they could do was to keep it at bay.

"It's going to be a long night," Jin grumbled.
