The black armored knight's furious roar was so loud that it momentarily drowned out the demi-humans' battle cries.
"Flow Acceleration!"
After roaring, the black armored knight looked at the charging demi-humans ahead with a sinister grin, and his shoulder shifted.
The cold light emanating from the Corrupted Sword, as if devouring the sunlight under the strong illumination, formed a fleeting black shadow in the air!
Puff—puff—
Blood shot up into the sky!
Demi-humans fell to the ground, their bodies twitching.
It didn't require much effort; as long as they were cut by the blade of the Corrupted Sword, their wounds would uncontrollably bleed continuously.
Let alone these ordinary demi-humans, even Remedios, who had entered the Hero realm, almost died under this Corrupted Sword.
In the blink of an eye.
Dozens more demi-humans charged forward!
Facing the encirclement of the demi-humans, the black armored knight calmly wielded the Corrupted Sword in his hand, like slicing through melons and vegetables; no demi-humans could approach his surrounding area.
Gof, the leader of a demi-human unit primarily composed of trolls, saw this scene and immediately raised the spiked club in his hand, preparing to charge over.
"Gof!"
As soon as he made a move, someone called out to him.
Hector, the "Beast General," holding a dark golden longsword, shouted to stop him: "Don't act rashly, don't forget our mission is to clear out the undead."
"Moreover, someone from the human side has already arrived!"
Gof stopped in his tracks and only then noticed Remedios, wearing silver-white paladin armor, charging out from the crowd behind him.
"Die!!"
Remedios's eyes were icy cold, and her body moved quickly and lightly, weaving between the undead and demi-humans:
"Holy Strike Breakthrough!"
Remedios held the holy sword with both hands, erupting with dazzling white light, and the sword body instantly extended to half its usual length.
In an instant!
Boom—
Remedios and the black armored knight collided.
The fierce force impact sent the surrounding demi-humans, who hadn't reacted yet, flying, emitting screams and wails.
After being repelled, the black armored knight's face didn't show panic; instead, it was full of excitement and eagerness: "This is interesting!"
"Come on! Remedios, this time I won't let you escape!"
"You're the one who should escape!"
Remedios roared, her icy eyes radiating cold light.
The two warriors who had entered the Hero realm fought here again, and the powerful strength displayed in their every move was impossible to ignore; the surrounding demi-humans and undead were all killed by the aftershocks of their attacks.
They created a distinct empty zone!
Seeing the demi-humans who died from the aftershocks.
The faces of "Beast General" Hector and Gof both became somewhat grim.
The enemy was one thing.
That human named Remedios had never treated them, the demi-humans, as comrades from beginning to end.
Suppressing the anger in their hearts.
"Beast General" Hector knew that now was not the time for internal conflict with the humans, so he readjusted his troops and continued to advance, bypassing the two who were fighting in the front.
On the gray-robed mage's side.
He was surrounded by the army of Flame Archangels summoned by the [Sunlight Scripture] unit.
For a time!
All three powerful enemies were suppressed by the human side's strength; without the interference of the three Shadow Clones.
The combined forces of humans and demi-humans began to gradually approach the location of the corpse pit, and among the large number of low-level undead, some powerful undead monsters also began to appear.
However.
"Beast General" Hector relied on his powerful commander ability to carry out an overwhelming annihilation of the undead, who didn't have much intelligenceon the pit.
The location of the corpse pit was getting closer and closer!
Both the humans and demi-humans became more and more solemn; so far, neither the Death Knight nor the Alliance Leader had appeared.
Bang—
Bang—
Bang—
Heavy footsteps, like drumbeats on the ground, caused the earth to tremble slightly.
The tall figure, with corrosive black mist composed of negative energy escaping from its joints, finally appeared.
On the pure black armor, the fine red patterns, like blood vessels, became increasingly scarlet as the Death Knight ran.
The moment the Death Knight appeared!
Everyone's eyes uncontrollably converged on this powerful and terrifying undead creature.
A chilling aura spread!
The surrounding temperature dropped by one or two degrees with the appearance of the Death Knight.
In its scarlet eyes, the hatred for the living and pure malice made people feel a chill all over their bodies just by looking at it.
"It's the Death Knight!"
"Beast General" Hector's pupils shrank; he swung the blade in his hand, killed an undead closest to him, and quickly stopped:.
"Plan Three!"
A high-pitched, penetrating voice spread.
The demi-human soldiers, tense due to the appearance of the Death Knight, began to move apart to the sides.
Whoosh—
Thousands of demi-humans were all mobilized under the command of "Beast General" Hector, like an arm directing a hand; the movement caused by such a large adjustment.
Immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the entire battlefield.
Trying to contend with a legendary undead like the Death Knight with numbers alone was useless.
The Baharuth Empire had once captured a Death Knight.
The so-called elite troops were at an overwhelming disadvantage in front of the Death Knight; the Empire ultimately had to send its trump card, Fluder, and his many high-level disciples, using the rogue aerial bombardment magic.
They only barely managed to capture it alive by exploiting the Death Knight's inability to fly.
Although this matter was a secret, the impact of the Empire's heavy losses during that period was still noticed by investigations from various countries, they just didn't know the specific reason.
Soon—
A straight, empty path was created by thousands of demi-humans.
After sacrificing the lives of more than 50 demi-human brethren, the Death Knight was finally led into this straight passage.
Directly opposite was the [Sunlight Scripture] unit!
As an annihilation unit and a covert unit, the members of the [Sunlight Scripture] were rarely subjected to such intense scrutiny.
The usually cold Captain Nigun subconsciously straightened his back, looking up slightly to face the Death Knight that everyone feared.
Hmph!
Holy Kingdom and these damned demi-humans, use your own eyes to witness the might of the Theocracy!
"No matter how evil an existence is."
"In the face of absolute purifying power, it will only vanish!"
Captain Nigun's expression was solemn and dignified; he took out an irregular, translucent crystal from his backpack, which looked like several cone-shaped crystals of different sizes joined together.
Minori, who had been closely observing this scene, immediately looked at the translucent crystal.
"Sealing Crystal!"
Minori's eyes lit up as he looked at the crystal containing a soft, pale white energy inside:.
"As expected, it's this item."
Sealing Crystal is a magic item with similar effects to a magic scroll.
It can release the magic injected into it, but the biggest difference from a magic scroll is that Sealing Crystal can freely store magic from the "First Tier ~ Tenth Tier."
In addition, Sealing Crystal can be used multiple times, while a magic scroll can only be used once.
This was a magic item that even Minori wanted to get his hands on, equivalent to having a magic scroll that could be used infinitely.
"I thought it would be something else."
Minori felt a little disappointed at the same time, thinking that in the current situation, the Theocracy would use other magic items:.
"Think about it carefully."
"The angels summoned by the magic item should also be affected by Nigun's innate ability, so this is indeed a magic item more suitable for Nigun to use."
Looking at the Sealing Crystal in his hand,
Captain Nigun became excited, his hands trembling slightly.
200 years ago.
An existence called the Demon God descended upon this world, causing destruction all over the continent, and the power sealed in the crystal was a powerful force that could eliminate the Demon God!
The manpower, material resources, and cost consumed to inject this power into the Sealing Crystal were already inestimable with money.
It's just.
Facing the legendary undead "Death Knight" and that Alliance Leader, this was necessary power.
What a pity!
The Alliance Leader [Zurrernorn] had not appeared.
The other party should also be guarding against the Theocracy's power; since you dare not show yourself, then I will eliminate the Death Knight first, but after seeing this power.
The other party should run away... Hah!
"Appear! The dignity of the highest-ranking angel!"
This thought flashed through Captain Nigun's mind; he raised the Sealing Crystal in his hand, and his fervent voice echoed across the battlefield:.
"Dominion Authority!"
In an instant—
An indescribable sense of oppression was released from the Sealing Crystal.
Everyone couldn't help but look up into the sky; it was as if a sun had appeared there!
Holy light beams continuously sprinkled down from above!
The dazzling white light was not blinding; instead, it had a peaceful warmth, making people want to kneel down and pray devoutly.
Large amounts of white feathers condensed and sprinkled down from the light.
As the dazzling white light contracted.
A massive angel, covered in radiance and far exceeding the size of ordinary angels, appeared in everyone's sight; it was an entity that looked like a collection of wings.
On the angel's head, there was a yellow halo, and it had three pairs of wings, one large and two small; it no longer had the metallic texture of a construct like low-level angels, but rather real white feathers.
What was strange!
The Dominion Authority had no head or feet, and held a golden scepter symbolizing kingship in its hand; although it looked a bit strange, it didn't give off any sense of fear.
A faint scent of fresh grass wafted into everyone's nostrils.
The rotten, foul smell in the air was cleared the moment the Dominion Authority appeared, and the air quickly became clean.
The members of the [Sunlight Scripture], seeing the Dominion Authority in the air, all made gestures of prayer, their faces full of fervor and worship.
"Beast General" Hector, Rokesh, Go Gin, and others, their eyes became dull, unable to believe it.
Just the aura emanating while suspended in mid-air!
Made Rokesh and others dare not make the slightest rash move, and fear even surfaced in the depths of their eyes.
What is this?
How could weak, cowardly humans possess such terrifying power!
The people on the Holy Kingdom's side were also full of shock.
Kelart subconsciously pursed her pink lips; no matter how good she was at disguising herself, at this moment, she inevitably revealed a shocked expression.
"What is this..."
"What is this power, how is this possible...!"
The gray-robed mage seemed to have been stimulated by something; his cheeks twisted together, and he shrieked as he forcibly retreated from the battlefield.
The dark armored knight, who was fiercely fighting Remedios, hadn't even figured out why Remedios, after being attacked by the Corrupted Sword, hadn't suffered continuous bleeding.
When he saw the appearance of the Dominion Authority!
The aura of death surged into his heart.
"Bastard!"
The black armored knight took advantage of Remedios's momentary Stunned, took a sword strike head-on, and retreated as if fleeing.
They suddenly understood why the Alliance Leader had not appeared!
"In the presence of God, vanish!"
Captain Nigun spoke excitedly, raising his arm and pointing at the Death Knight in front:.
"Activate 'Extreme Holy Strike'!"
This was the power of 7th Tier magic, a realm that humans could absolutely not reach, belonging to the level of a Demon God.
There was no astonishing scene.
Only a pure pale white beam of light fell.
Except for Minori, everyone present was unable to capture the trajectory of the magic attack.
"With my speed, I probably can't avoid it either."
Minori's gaze slightly condensed, reflecting the stunned eyes of the surrounding people.
'Detected 7th Tier magic "Extreme Holy Strike", requires Faith-based Caster Level (43-49), current conditions met'
'Consume 1 Skill Point to master?'
Minori simply glanced at the information on his attribute panel, not paying much attention.
This was a magic attack oriented towards "evil" existences.
It would cause huge damage to enemies like undead, or enemies with negative karma, and could be considered a targeted magic.
However.
One of Minori's passive abilities, "Master of Magic", could maximize the variable effects in magic.
This magic could unleash its maximum power in his hands, even against opponents with "good" or "positive" alignment.
With his current player level, he could also summon 7th Tier angels; this skill could be mastered at any time.
"It's over."
Captain Nigun looked at the Death Knight that was hit, and a winner's smile had already appeared on his face.
This was an inevitable outcome.
Everyone present felt a strange sense of relief in their hearts; having dealt with the Death Knight, the crisis in the hilly area was half resolved.
The pale white beam of light dissipated!
Only to see.
The Death Knight looked as if its entire body had been burned, emitting hot white steam, its demonic horns on its head were broken, and even the black tower shield was covered with dense cracks.
This was clearly a sign of being heavily wounded, but—the other party had not vanished, still standing silently in place!
The joyful expressions on the faces of Rokesh, Kelart, and others all froze, as if they had seen something incomprehensible and unbelievable.
Even ordinary people could feel the indescribable, insurmountable power of the magic attack released by the Dominion Authority!
How could the Death Knight withstand it!
The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence at this moment.
Minori, on the other hand, noticed that Captain Nigun didn't show any surprise, and he understood: "Indeed, the Slane Theocracy is very aware of the Death Knight's characteristics."
He had just noticed.
When the Dominion Authority activated "Extreme Holy Strike," it did not use the special ability to break the golden scepter to strengthen the attack.
"Hmph!"
Captain Nigun snorted lightly; failing to eliminate the Death Knight in an instant, it lacked sufficient shock value, which was a slight regret.
This couldn't be helped; it was because the Death Knight had the special ability to not die immediately no matter how severe the attack it suffered.
It was just a matter of attacking again.
Thinking of this, Captain Nigun prepared to have the Dominion Authority attack again.
"Holy Hammer"!
In this eerie silence, a Angel Of Tranquillity suddenly flew out from above and rushed in front of the Death Knight.
A silver nail hammer, wrapped in holy light, heavily struck the Death Knight's body!
Crack—
The Death Knight didn't even make a move to dodge; it was struck on the head with one blow, its body trembled, and it turned into black residue, dissipating like snowflakes in the sunlight.
Only the black tower shield, covered in cracks, remained quietly embedded in the ground!
