Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 371 - 177 The High Priest and Her Dog of a Man_2

Indeed!

Philomena readily discussed the story with Wayne, differing on whether to demolish the museum.

Philomena insisted on tearing down the building. The larger the scene, the more tragic the ambush, the higher the compensation demanded.

Wayne disagreed, believing one could act ruthlessly, but still maintain a semblance of humanity. If one’s heart became too dark, one would dare to earn money in any unscrupulous way—then there’s no saving them.

His argument was sound; Philomena didn’t want such disciples from the Moonlight Church, and agreed with Wayne’s reasoning.

The second wave of Knights attacked, and not only the armor but also other items in the historical exhibit came to life.

The most outrageous were a troop of clay soldier statues, rolling up to the battlefront with their glistening, pitch-black, old-fashioned cannon.

The pressure on the twins surged. Merging gun and sword, they deftly maneuvered left and right, protecting the High Priest and the dog-man from harm.

To one side, as fierce fighting raged, Wayne and Philomena started their argument again.

"How come only thirty percent!"

Wayne was greatly dissatisfied. It was his idea, his story, and yet he still had to look at Philomena’s face for thirty percent—had he become a beggar?

Philomena hadn’t even knelt down, so why should he!

"No way, add another twenty percent, or I won’t cooperate, and you’ll get nothing." Wayne insisted firmly, fifty percent was already a friendly price, and he couldn’t accept any less.

"I don’t care if I get nothing; I never really cared." Philomena said indifferently.

Wayne glared at her. Seeing that she stood her ground, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, Aunt Mina, I’ll take just thirty percent, and let’s consider the other twenty a gesture of respect for the elderly."

Philomena shot back an angry look. She wasn’t old, just not as young; compared to a twenty-year-old girl, she was just a few months older, that’s all.

There was no need for outsiders to stir up trouble; they were about to come to blows over an uneven division of loot.

And they hadn’t even gotten their hands on the loot yet!

Boom!

A cannon shot echoed, one wall of the exhibit hall collapsed, and the ground was strewn with glass and rocks.

The Knight in armor on a sculpted horse fell to the ground in pieces, while several nearby military-clad soldiers were shattered by solid cannonballs, their blackened stone limbs scattered amidst a puff of grey smoke.

The second assault ended, and the fluctuations of magic power in the vicinity intensified. The Magic Array merged, projecting the Magic Array Diagram, covering the entire floor of the historical exhibit hall.

"A Spatial Barrier, that trick again..."

Philomena scorned, "Wayne, does your Magic Department only know how to backstab—have you no new tricks?"

"Don’t shoot, I’m friendly."

Wayne considered himself not on the same path as the Magic Department; it was only because of the Lando Family that he carried their name.

As the two conversed, Wayne tensed his muscles and Philomena released his arm, withdrawing her weapons from the Dark Domain.

The Full Moon Pistol, as well as a temporarily substituted Single-edged Sword.

The Waning Moon Single-edged Sword, custom-made for her, was extremely expensive and could not be replicated in a short period, so she made do with another Single-edged Sword for the time.

She looked at Wayne, expecting him to wisely initiate the trade.

Wayne pretended not to notice. Trading was fine, but speaking first was a loss. It was his hard-earned spoils of war; he wouldn’t sell it cheap.

"Roar roar roar——"

The Magic Array opened a space portal, and familiar Dragon Blood Modifications fell through, unarmed with guns or heat weapons; only filled with fervor.

"It’s not a portal, the Magic Department has already ambushed us." Philomena deduced the truth through the shape of the Magic Array Diagram, "Throw away that itinerary, from now on I go wherever I please."

Without the Forbidden Magic Domain, the Dragonblood Soldiers with thermal weapons didn’t seem impressive; without Wayne and Philomena lifting a finger, twin Mages could handle it all.

Their magic firearms fired rapidly, the magic-infused, flame-attached bullets devastatingly lethal. In just moments, they slaughtered a squad of Dragon Blood Modifications.

Wayne frowned. It was too easy; such a child’s play attack couldn’t harm Philomena. Framing intentions were clear, the Magic Department could easily blame it on the other churches.

Come on, at least have a Forbidden Magic Domain!

Hum hum hum————

Ask and you shall receive. Grey ripples swept across the scene, the Magic Array Diagram vanished like smoke, and the Four Elements scattered in the air also disappeared without a trace.

Forbidden Magic Domain!

Philomena sighed again, reliving the Forbidden Magic Domain, recalling the severe losses of the last time, her heart filled with hatred for the Magic Department.

Seeing the High Priest’s expressionless face, unflustered, Wayne guessed she had a contingency plan, so he didn’t immediately take action, opting to wait and see.

Boom!

The wall ahead shattered, and four Dragon Blood Modification transformed into Crocodile Men, bearing their fangs and claws as they lunged over.

The twin Mages protected Philomena behind them, and to Wayne’s amazement, each fought against two Dragon Blood Modifications without falling short.

That was utterly absurd. ƒreewebɳovel.com

From Wayne’s observations, the twins were capable, but with limited Essence of Life, they shouldn’t be able to display such exaggerated close-combat abilities.

Unless...

They weren’t human!

Out of curiosity, Wayne inquired, but Philomena didn’t respond, only saying, "The Magic Department hasn’t set up a Mirror Space Projection Barrier, we can leave anytime."

"Let’s wait and see, I’m curious what the other side is planning."

As the other party avoided the topic, Wayne ceased his questioning, now curious about the twins. If they were Magical Beings similar to Dragon Blood Modifications, the Moonlight Church must have gone further down the biological research path than the Magic Department.

The twins could use magic, had magical power, intellect, and usually observed him coolly, not lacking in independent thought and personality...

Attack another assumption; they were first human, then modified by something akin to Dragon Blood.

That would make sense!

Wayne watched as the twins dismantled the Dragon Blood Modifications. The latter had clear weaknesses; while their flesh could regenerate, their bones could not. Once bones were ripped from their bodies, they became invertebrates, still alive but non-threatening.
