Chapter 364: Chaotic Battle
Li Wei watched through the hummingbird’s eyes.
He saw a massive, cloud-piercing mountain peak appear outside Storm City.
In that instant, a name surfaced in his mind.
’The Earth Demon Beast!’
Savinia had a companion that was an Earth Demon Beast.
Back then, after that Earth Demon Beast had merged with the earth, its revealed form had been hundreds of meters tall, even larger than the Floating City.
Now, it had grown even more massive.
It was like a true, towering mountain peak.
It was hard to imagine that this was a living creature.
Seeing the Earth Demon Beast, Li Wei realized the Legendary Witch Lich was about to make a move to seize the Goddess’s Tears.
He had guessed they would strike at this moment.
Emotionally, Li Wei had hoped the Legendary Witch Lich would wait until everyone had been healed by the Goddess’s Tears before trying to steal it.
But it was obvious that neither the Light Divine Sect nor the Legendary Witch Lich’s group cared whether the people of Storm City lived or died.
One side acted only for its faith.
The other, only to obtain the Goddess’s Tears.
Nothing else mattered to them.
After the Earth Demon Beast appeared, Storm City immediately entered a state of war.
Li Wei saw several openings appear on the Earth Demon Beast’s body.
Then, countless Skeleton Monsters spewed out from within the Earth Demon Beast.
It was like a torrent of water from a high-pressure hose.
Tens of thousands of Skeleton Monsters were sprayed directly into Storm City.
Storm City had already activated its Defense Barrier.
However, the city walls’ defensive Magic Barrier had a limited height.
The Earth Demon Beast was taller than the Defense Barrier.
Countless Undead flew over the city walls and fell into Storm City.
A rain of Undead began to fall upon Storm City.
Innumerable Undead descended from the sky.
Most were shattered on impact, but a few managed to land safely.
The shattered Skeleton Monsters simply picked up body parts from other skeletons and reassembled themselves.
Many bizarrely-shaped Undead appeared within Storm City.
There were skeletal Undead with six arms and no legs.
And skeletal Undead that were all legs and no torso.
It was utter chaos.
But the Legendary Witch Lich had achieved her goal.
The massive number of Undead that had fallen into Storm City created immense chaos.
The entire city was thrown into disarray.
The City Defense Army and the Extraordinary Professionals were running around the city putting out fires, and even the defensive forces on the walls were significantly reduced.
The Undead could now bypass the walls and enter Storm City directly.
There was no longer any point in concentrating all their forces on the walls.
Countless Low-to-Mid Tier Undead tied down the vast majority of Extraordinary Professionals within Storm City.
A large number of humans were gathered outside the Divine Hall of Light.
The vibrant aura of life attracted a horde of Undead toward the Divine Hall of Light.
"Filthy Undead, you are forbidden from approaching the Divine Hall of Light!"
"Purify the Undead!"
Bright Knights, Bright Guards, Guardians of Light, Priests, and other Extraordinary Professionals all moved to intercept and kill the Undead approaching the Divine Hall of Light.
The Grand Priest gazed at the cloud-piercing Earth Demon Beast in the distance, a trace of worry in his heart.
The thing they had feared had come to pass.
The Legendary Witch Lich truly dared to risk attacking the Divine Hall of Light to steal the Goddess’s Tears.
The Miracle Ceremony, centered on the Goddess’s Tears, primarily functioned to heal, purify, and dispel.
It had no combat capabilities.
In other words, not only did the Miracle Ceremony lack any offensive power or Defense Power, but it also required them to expend energy protecting it.
If the Legendary Witch Lich wanted to destroy the altar and the divine statue, then the Divine Hall of Light would have no choice but to protect them.
The Divine Hall of Light could not allow the divine statue to be destroyed in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
No matter the cost, they had to prevent the statue from being destroyed.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The Grand Priest heard a whistling sound from the sky.
Looking up, he saw three figures appear overhead.
Trace, with black wings sprouting from his back, flew through the air, gripping Minotaur Arno by the horns.
Taking advantage of the commotion caused by the Earth Demon Beast and the countless Undead, they had used the chaos to approach the Divine Hall of Light.
They had now arrived above the plaza of the Divine Hall of Light.
The trio flew right over the hummingbird that Li Wei was controlling.
Li Wei recognized Trace as the young man in black who had nearly been killed by the self-detonation of the Radiant Magic Cannon last time.
Trace let go, and Minotaur Arno allowed gravity to take hold, plummeting toward the ground.
Savinia sat on Trace’s back, directing him to fly downward.
"Trace, get down there, quickly."
"I know, don’t rush me."
WHOOSH!
Minotaur Arno fell from the sky.
A Paladin from the Divine Hall of Light stepped forward to meet the falling Minotaur Arno.
The Paladins guarding the altar and the divine statue were all Tier Six Paladins.
Their strength was immense.
Facing the Paladin’s long spear, Minotaur Arno threw a punch.
The terrifying Power made the very air blur.
The speed of his fist instantly broke the sound barrier.
BANG! BOOM!
The fist and spear collided, and the resulting shockwave sent a large number of ordinary people near the altar flying.
The Paladin’s expression changed.
His arm was trembling; his opponent’s power was too great.
Even with the enhancement from a Priest’s Power Blessing, he couldn’t withstand his opponent’s power.
And that was with his opponent throwing a hasty punch to counter his attack.
"Combined Attack Array!"
The Paladin took a step back and shouted.
Three other Paladins rushed over and began a righteous group assault on Minotaur Arno.
"Holy Light Purification!"
A Priest from the Divine Hall of Light cast a Divine Art from the side, supporting the Paladins.
The light of the Holy Light Purification fell upon Minotaur Arno.
It had no effect.
A large number of platinum-gold runes appeared on Arno’s body.
Seeing this, the Priest’s face filled with shock.
"A Blessing of Light! Why does an Undead have a Blessing of Light?"
With the Blessing of Light on him, ordinary Light Divine Skills were useless against Arno.
Unless it was a High Level Divine Technique cast by an expert at the Grand Archbishop Level.
And even a Grand Archbishop’s High Level Divine Technique would have its effects greatly weakened.
’A Light Undead!’
It was an absurd combination, yet here it was.
The Priest had no idea who could have bestowed a Blessing of Light upon an Undead.
His Holy Light Purification Technique was completely useless.
The power of the one who had cast this Blessing of Light was likely immense.
’Could it be one of the Grand Archbishops from the Divine Hall of Light?’
While the Priest was stunned into a daze...
...Arno went all out, single-handedly knocking back the four Paladins and charging toward the Grand Priest on the altar.
The Paladins and the Priest tried to pursue and stop him.
Savinia and Trace descended from the sky.
Trace shouted, "Your opponent is me!"
The black wings on his back suddenly expanded, transforming into two Demon hands that clawed at the group on the ground.
"Holy Light Purification Technique!"
"Holy Spear Stab!"
PFFT!
Trace was instantly sent flying hundreds of meters, coughing up blood.
Savinia was speechless.
Minotaur Arno could overwhelm them because he was immensely powerful and possessed an ability that countered Light Divine Skills.
The fact that Trace wasn’t killed in a single exchange already proved he was quite strong.
After all, his opponents were Paladins and Priests, who specialized in countering the Undead.
Savinia paid them no mind. She leaped onto the altar and began to dance gracefully.
As she danced, the sound of an imperceptible flute spread out.
"ROAR!"
The victims of the Green Corpse Cold instantly erupted.
Tens of thousands of the afflicted, spurred on by Savinia, charged madly toward the altar.
