Chapter 1366 - Judgment of Holy Light
Chapter 1366: Judgment of Holy Light
The egg couldn’t be destroyed, and the space here couldn’t be broken. That was the last resort that the 73rd God had prepared. Nothing could possibly destroy the defense that the 73rd God had left on the egg before his resurrection except the power of gods.
Elements, mana, and spells were as different from that kind of power as the hardest material that the Gilded Rose had developed was from the air around it.
It was impossible to destroy the egg. So, there could only be one ending. They would be stranded here until the moment of the 73rd God’s resurrection. Then, they would all be killed.
Countless runes appeared in Lin Yun’s eyes. The space around him was like a gigantic cocoon that was unveiled layer by layer. He tried to find out what was behind the blockage, but he could see nothing but the gray mist through the Magic Array and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. Every place had been covered up by the gray mist. It was absolutely impossible to leave…
To leave the place, one would need the power of gods, or at least the power that was on that level…
Bang…
A sword of holy light hit Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield, and exploded into smaller swords of holy light, which continued flying towards him. Ripples appeared on Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield. Countless law runes were hopping.
Lin Yun had no time to think at all when Dalton interrupted him.
“Fool, you dare to be distracted? You’re truly lucky to have survived to this day. However, today will be the end of your luck!” Dalton roared, and waved his staff. The Heart of Luminosity floated above his head, unleashing brilliance that wreathed him.
A hasty and magnificent spell echoed, as if countless pious believers were singing a hymn. Gradually, the clouds in the sky were ripped apart, and a glowing gate surfaced.
However, the gate was not opened even after Dalton’s chanting. The Holy Light Alliance’s ultimate technique of summoning archangels didn’t work…
Not just Dalton, the Chester Family failed to summon their beasts too. Only the beasts that they carried with them could continue helping them fight. The space in this place had been locked down completely.
Lin Yun thought that Dalton should realize what was going on. However, after failing to summon the archangels, he immediately took the Heart of Luminosity, and stuffed it in his own heart.
Instantly, Dalton’s body seemed to have turned into holy light. His robe turned transparent, and seemed to be made of light. Where his heart used to be, the Heart of Luminosity was constantly beating.
Infinite light gathered into feathers of angels behind his back, forming four wings that made Dalton much more intimidating than before. He seemed to have reached level 6 of the Heaven Rank all of a sudden.
Lin Yun frowned, and looked at Dalton’s new change with a headache. When he saw that Danason gave the Heart of Luminosity to Dalton so easily, he knew that this would happen. The Heart of Luminosity was much more powerful than expected.
The Heart of Luminosity was an archangel’s heart. When the Lord of Holy Light was alive, the angels he created were heartless and dreadful killing machines. Archangels never died. Even if they perished, they would be resurrected quickly. The heart of an archangel who couldn’t be resurrected would be the Heart of Luminosity.
It could transform the Holy Light Alliance’s mages into archangels that caused suffering to others…
Dalton looked quite cold. He was holding a glittering staff that was more than a meter long. As he waved the staff, endless holy light surged around him, and transformed the area within thousands of meters into a world of holy light. When he flapped his wings, the feathers on the wings dropped, and turned into little angels that were 20 centimeters tall with bows in their hands.
However, the little angels wore the same expression as Dalton did. They looked as cold as pure slaughter machines.
Swords of holy light descended from the sky at an astonishing speed. Lin Yun flashed among the swords for a few seconds. Then, he was already thousands of meters away.
Many light swords that were 100 meters long stabbed into the ground. There were even vague armored swordsmen who were holding these swords behind them.
“Damn it, an archangel! How can there be an archangel?”
All of Enderfa’s three faces were shocked. The one on the right side roared.
“It’s not an archangel at all. He’s just a counterfeit. He’s holding the heart of an archangel. Damn it, if this space weren’t so weird, it’s possible that he would’ve summoned a team of soul warriors…”
Enderfa’s middle face stared at the vague illusions that disappeared quickly after they just appeared with a solemn expression.
Lin Yun didn’t look any better.
The Lord of Holy Light was one of the most powerful gods even in the age of gods, but he was killed at the early phase of the war by Constance, the Lord of Wisdom.
When the gods had a total war, all gods were involved in it. The Lord of Holy Light joined the war very early.
After the Lord of Holy Light joined the war, it seemed to be going very well. The angels that he created were as overwhelming as locusts when they showed up. The Lord of Holy Light was never sorry however many of them were killed. He could create just as many replacements in his country after they died.
The main force of the angels were archangels, who were terrifying beings above the Heaven Rank already the moment they were created. Whenever the archangels were deployed, they could change the outcome of a battle.
The archangels were fearless and emotionless. They were pure slaughter machines. Furthermore, even after they died, the Lord of Holy Light would withdraw their hearts back to his country and resurrect them.
In addition, the bravest warriors under the Lord of Holy Light’s command would transform into soul warriors after they died. When archangels threw their swords, the soul warriors would pick them up and fight…
Also, the warriors of every species that worshiped the Lord of Holy Light might turn into soul warriors after they died. That was quite terrifying. In terms of the number of experts, they were even more unstoppable than the army of the undead.
Although Dalton was unable to summon the soul warriors, the illusions suggested that the Lord of Holy Light’s kingdom wasn’t as damaged as expected, and that there had to be a lot of archangels and soul warriors left there…
The swords of holy light on the ground, which were all 100 meters tall, vanished one after another. Dalton seemed to have foreseen that it was impossible to summon soul warriors here. A streak of light appeared in the sky, stretching all the way from Dalton to Lin Yun, and forming a gigantic glittering bow that was a dozen meters tall.
Instantly, an arrow that was almost 20 meters long was shot out of the bow. Because of the streak of light, the arrow hit Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield the moment it was shot.
Dazzling light burst out. It seemed that endless corporeal light was grinding everything in it. Around Lin Yun’s body, everything had been vaporized into nothingness.
Before the power of the arrow wore out, Dalton flapped his wings, and appeared behind Lin Yun. The illusion of a giant that was 200 meters tall and wore thick armor arose behind Lin Yun, and slashed him with a cross sword that was 150 meters long.
Lin Yun frowned, and spouted a few law runes, enshrouding his body in a ball of darkness. Instantly, the ball expanded and banished the power of holy light within a radius of a kilometer. Darkness consumed the area without a sound.
At this moment, the cross sword that the illusionary giant waved hit the dark space too.
The dark space collapsed in the center like a balloon that had been blown up. Then, a spot of light glittered in the center and exploded, driving away all the darkness. However, Lin Yun was already nowhere to be seen.
In the sky, Dalton seemed quite cold. He was surprised that Lin Yun disappeared too.
“Damn you, heretic, darkness must be expelled by holy light!”
“Idiot.”
Lin Yun floated in the sky. In front of him, a magic electromagnetic cannon that was 100 meters long appeared. A compound Four Element Bomb surged out of the barrel, and hit Dalton’s shield two kilometers away instantly.
Dalton flapped his wings and crossed them in front him, forming another arc-shaped shield. But all of a sudden, a darkness law rune appeared in the tip of the revolving Four Element Bomb. The purest power of darkness exploded, and broke Dalton’s light shield.
The darkness Four Element Bomb that had been prepared for Dalton hit his wings. A terrifying power burst out, covering a radius of hundreds of meters. The pure power of destruction was filled with darkness power under the influence of the law of darkness.
A glimmer of light rushed out of the power of darkness and destruction, with a lot of smoke popping up.
The power of light and the power of darkness were most contradictory. Light could purge darkness, but darkness could also corrupt light. It was the amount that mattered.
That was just a level-9 spell, but it had caused more damage to Dalton than the most powerful level-9 elemental spell would’ve.
Dalton’s four angel wings had been blackened and corrupted. His white wings were turning gray too, and even his skin had been contaminated by darkness. He seemed as miserable as if someone had poured concentrated sulfuric acid on him.
However, the moment Dalton escaped from the area of destruction, holy light glowed on his skin. Then, his contaminated skin and wings were all restored. All his wounds were gone. The power of darkness had been exiled…
Lin Yun floated in the sky gloomily, and Enderfa, who had been floating next to him, looked so terrifying as if he had just stepped on sh*t…
“Damn it, this is exactly why I hate archangels. It’s annoying that they can hardly be killed. The Lord of Wisdom tore the Lord of Holy Light’s soul into pieces after he killed him because he was nauseated!”
Enderfa’s middle face couldn’t help but curse. His other two faces both agreed. Obviously, they were annoyed too.
Lin Yun was annoyed as well. Holy light mages were quite spurious. Pure holy light mages had little combat ability until they reached the Heaven Rank, but after they reached the Heaven Rank, their combat ability would rise among the best. It was almost cheating that they could restore their wounds immediately as long as their vitals weren’t hurt.
After the man absorbed the archangel’s heart, and transformed into an archangel, he became even more annoying. He could hardly be killed until his heart or his head were blown up.
On second thought, the Lord of Holy Light, one of the strongest gods, died in the early phase of the battle. It definitely had a lot to do with this matter. It was very wise of Constance to tear the Lord of Holy Light into pieces that he couldn’t revive from.
The battle turned into an impasse. Even if Lin Yun used the embodiment of the Elemental Spirit King, it was impossible for him to kill Dalton who had transformed into an archangel.
He caused grave wounds to Dalton when he hit him with darkness spells, but it didn’t really work.
The archangel’s heart contained enough power for Dalton to fight a long time. He had to fight the war of attribution, and look for opportunities.
He was stronger than the man when he unleashed his strength. With the help of the Magic Array and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, he could even find a chance to hit Dalton easily. However, he couldn’t possibly defeat Dalton, which made Lin Yun angry.
Archangels were truly annoying…
Squatting on Lin Yun’s shoulder, Lord Shawn looked at Dalton regretfully.
“What a shame. He’s a counterfeit archangel. Archangels have the purest soul energy. If only I could swallow one of them…”
Pure archangels were emotionless and fearless. They were pure slaughter machines, and their souls were blank. Of course they were pure…
Lin Yun stared at Dalton, and ignored Lord Shawn’s whining. Seizing another opportunity to wound Dalton and destroy his holy light shield, he suddenly roared at Lord Shawn.
“Now is the time!”
Lord Shawn, who had been staring at Dalton, opened his third eye, launching a ray that was as thick as a finger. It crossed space and hit Dalton precisely. Weird waves surfaced on Dalton, and there was pain on his cold face. He slowed down too.
Immediately, both the Book of Death and the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras glittered. The Book of Death automatically opened, and the Origin Chapter provided enhancement. Spells flew out of the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, and erupted from the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel.
Immediately, a dragon that was completely enshrouded in darkness opened its wings above Dalton’s head, and spouted a mouthful of breath that was as sticky as ink towards Dalton.
The breath, which contained pure power of darkness, crossed the sky, leaving black marks on its way. It seemed that even the space had been corrupted by the power of darkness.
The blackness hit Dalton. Instantly, the collision of darkness and holy light raised a huge amount of smoke. Dalton’s skin turned gray, and his angel wings turned black too. He looked like a fallen angel that had betrayed holy light.
Instantly, Dalton seemed to have lost all his power. He fell from the sky, and was hit by a number of Four Element Bombs. Fierce explosions burst out on the ground, and destructive power arose one wave after another. The mountains nearby were all razed to the ground.
After more than 10 seconds of explosions, a spot of holy light appeared again, and flew out of the area of destruction, turning into Dalton’s deformed body.
All his limbs were cut. His left hand and left leg were gone. His angel wings were broken too. He looked like a skinned ghoul. He couldn’t have been more hideous.
However, on his chest, the holy light was still emitting and spreading. All his wounds were quickly healed. His severed left hand and leg grew back. The broken angel wings reappeared too. He flapped his wings, and countless feathers dropped, purging the remaining power of darkness.
The cost of complete recovery was only the dimming of the Heart of Luminosity on his heart. As time went by, the Heart of Luminosity was even replenishing its power.
“Sh*t…”
“Damn…”
“How disgusting…”
Lin Yun was gloomy. Enderfa cursed with all his three faces. Even Lord Shawn pulled a long face and gnashed his teeth.
That was truly annoying. The last strike was already the best opportunity he could find with the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Magic Array. Even so, Dalton wasn’t killed.
If he had known the law of darkness better, at least level 5 of the Heaven Rank, Dalton would’ve died a million times.
The greatest reason why the Holy Light Alliance had been attacking darkness mages and undead mages was likely that they were their greatest enemies. The Holy Light Alliance had killed countless dark creatures, dark mages, and undead mages.
However, most of the Holy Light Alliance’s members who died were killed by them too. The Heaven Rank holy light mages rarely died when they fought other experts, even if they couldn’t win—unless their enemies were too strong.
Dalton raised his staff and announced solemnly, “Stupid heretic and filthy walker in the darkness, the protection of holy light makes me fearless. All darkness shall be purged, all evils shall be judged…”
He charged forward again and fought dauntlessly…
Then, the battle became a complete impasse…
