Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 463 Chapter463-A Meaningless Battle

Under John's assault, Shatras could no longer maintain her most powerful state.

The formidable life force and the power of the Sea God that had been swirling around her eventually dissipated.

"I told you before, I really didn't want to fight you. I came here solely to investigate clues related to the Mystery force," John said, facing Shatras, who had been significantly weakened.

He did not pursue further attacks, as his purpose in coming here was not to battle the Naga Faction.

Shatras, still reeling from John's words, was not entirely convinced.

She continued to suspect that John might have other hidden motives.

However, in her current state, she was no longer capable of continuing the fight.

As a Legend Magus, Shatras had no issue in assessing her opponent's strength and realized that John's power had surpassed hers.

If John were a magus himself, then he would undoubtedly be among the strongest of the Legend Magi.

"Why would you come to our Naga Faction to investigate clues about Mystery forces? We don't have any clues related to Mystery forces here. Our Naga Faction is facing a tremendous crisis right now. We wouldn't have sealed the entrance to our tribe if it weren't for this immense crisis," Shatras expressed her confusion regarding John's statement.

If what John said was true, then it might indicate that the Naga Faction was indeed threatened by the Mystery Faction, a possibility Shatras, as the Legend Magus of the Naga Faction, had to consider.

"The great crisis you are facing could very likely be caused by Mystery forces. I genuinely want to help you, and you've seen the extent of my strength. With my assistance, your tribe could resolve its crisis more quickly. If you don't believe what I say, then take me to your queen. I believe she will understand the situation. If you refuse to take me to her, I may have no choice but to eliminate you and the surrounding Naga Faction guards. Remember, it was you who attacked me first, not the other way around. I believe that by doing this, the Naga Queen will have to intervene personally."

John was losing patience.

He felt that continuing this dialogue would only worsen his situation, making it imperative to find a more direct way to resolve the matter.

John's words indeed instilled fear in Shatras and the guards of the Naga Faction.

His display of immense strength in the previous battle had made a significant impact.

After careful thought, Shatras called over one of the nearby guards.

"Inform Her Majesty the Queen about the situation here immediately. I believe once she is aware of what has happened, she will make a swift decision. Until the Queen makes her decision, I will not take any further action."

While Shatras realized that informing the Queen might not greatly affect her own position, as the Legend Magus of the Naga race, she had more factors to consider.

John did not object to Shatras's decision.

His goal was to ensure that the Naga Queen was informed about the current events.

If the Naga Queen could personally intervene, John would be able to determine whether she had collaborated with the Mystery Saint.

John was now very familiar with the nature of Mystery forces.

If the Naga Queen had allied with the Mystery Saint, she would inevitably be tainted by the Mystery forces.

Once this was confirmed, John's next course of action would be clear: to eliminate the Naga Queen.

After the Naga Faction guard left, John and Shatras continued their standoff.

Though neither wished to continue fighting, both were resolute in not backing down.

Shatras was determined not to allow John into the Naga Faction without the Queen's approval, and John was unwilling to relinquish his current position.

John felt the fight with Shatras was pointless, but he needed to make it clear that his patience had limits.

After a while, the Naga Faction guard returned and addressed Shatras, "Magus! The Queen has issued an order. She wants you to bring these three intruders to the palace."

Shatras was visibly surprised upon hearing this order.

She hadn't expected the Queen to agree so readily to John's proposal.

"Are you certain this is the Queen's command? Are you sure you haven't misunderstood? You should be well aware of our current situation. It's not favorable for the Naga Faction. If you've miscommunicated the Queen's will, it could plunge our Faction into grave crisis. Please, confirm once more, what exactly is the Queen's directive?"

Shatras wanted to be cautious and ensure the Queen's intention was accurately conveyed.

The Naga Faction guard had no choice but to repeat the Queen's message, which was identical to what he had initially reported.

After confirming that the Queen indeed wanted to see John and his companions, Shatras led them towards the palace.

On the way, she took a moment to caution John: "Although I don't understand why the Queen agreed to your proposal, I think you should still be careful. I admit your strength is formidable, but the Queen's power surpasses yours. You don't really believe you can defeat Her Majesty, do you?

"The Queen is already very troubled by the crisis facing the Naga Faction. She must be very angry right now. Don't provoke her further; if you do, the consequences will not be pleasant for you."

Shatras's words served a dual purpose: cautioning John to be careful, and also exerting some pressure on him, as she sensed that John might be somewhat dismissive of her.

As a powerful Legend Magus, Shatras had never encountered an opponent as formidable as John.

Her previous adversaries had all been weaker than her.

Her warning underscored the seriousness of the situation and the potential risk of underestimating the Naga Queen, who, despite the crisis, remained a powerful and potentially unpredictable figure.

John simply nodded in response to Shatras's words.

His purpose in coming here was not to quarrel with the Naga Queen, but rather to verify his own conjectures.

Soon, the group arrived at the outer area of the Naga Palace.

Shatras instructed a guard, "We have arrived. Inform Her Majesty the Queen."

The guard quickly returned from the palace and relayed, "Her Majesty the Queen is ready to see you, the intruders. The Queen expects you to clearly explain the purpose of your visit. If you cannot provide a reasonable explanation, Her Majesty will undoubtedly be very furious. She forewarns you so that you might prepare a convincing reason."

The Naga guard conveyed the Queen's message exactly as it was given.

While the Naga Queen was clearly angry about the intrusion, she also understood that anyone capable of breaking through a Legend Magus's seal would be a formidable force.

Moreover, humans have always been members of the Order Faction.

This situation indicated that the meeting with the Naga Queen was critical, and John's response could significantly impact how events unfolded from this point.

The Naga Queen was not keen on becoming outright hostile with humans, who were allies within the Order Faction.

She understood that anyone capable of matching Shatras in strength must be among the strongest of humans.

The Queen even began to suspect that John might be a hidden powerhouse from the Northern Myst Empire.

Her main question was why the Northern Myst Empire had not informed her of John's arrival.

John exchanged glances with Adam and Blue Sea.

They all understood that the crucial moment was approaching – they needed to quickly determine whether the Naga Queen had been corrupted by Mystery forces.

After preparing themselves, they entered the palace.

At the heart of the Naga Palace, the Naga Queen waited patiently for the intruders.

In fact, the moment John and his companions entered the palace, the Queen sensed John's formidable power, which put her on high alert.

This encounter was pivotal, not just for John and his companions, but also for the dynamics between the Naga Faction and the human representatives of the Order Faction.
