Summoning the Holy Sword

Rhode wasn’t concerned about the battle progress between Celestina and Duran. In fact, after he summoned Celestina, the Undead Army responded. While the air troops kept the soldiers busy, the ground troops led by the Skeletal Trolls quickened their pace as they swarmed like huge waves that crashed into the towering ‘dam’.

Barrages of arrows that were released from the enemy rear disrupted the soldiers. Although Agatha cast ice walls to deflect the arrows, many defenseless soldiers were still struck. The battle progress above the city walls was chaotic as the Gargoyles and Vampires attacked simultaneously.

Rhode knitted his brows. He thought that Cullen would distribute his forces in order to lower the holy spears’ lethal threats, but didn’t expect Cullen to do the very opposite. It seemed that Cullen had grasped his biggest weakness—the lack of manpower!

Cullen held 100,000 troops while Rhode had less than 10,000. Although the holy spears were powerful, each of them could only eliminate up to 1000 Undead Creatures in each attack. Not only that, the holy spears also had ‘cooldowns’ before the next attack. On the other hand, the Undead Army advanced quickly too. Would it be worth it for them to sacrifice up to 6,000 Undead Creatures in order to arrive at the city walls for close combat?

Rhode knew the answer clearly.

However, he didn’t expect Cullen to be this determined. Cullen gathered his troops together and charged forward in waves! As long as Cullen succeeded, Rhode would be doomed!

Rhode had to admit that this tactic was great. But he had no intentions of switching his moves. Another dazzling light beam descended and struck the Undead Creatures, which blasted a wide gap in the sea of Undead Creatures.

However, the gap was quickly refilled by the surrounding creatures. The Undead Creatures didn’t stop until the second light beam…

“It seems like this human is running out of ideas.”

Beni said in a rather nervous tone, which was rare to see. She knew how ingenious Rhode’s plan was, but the situation was too intense as though two boxers were continually probing each other with light punches in the ring and the one who found their opponent’s weakness first would throw a heavy punch for the win. There would only be one winner.

One winner.

“…”

Rhode unsheathed his sword slowly as though he was pondering. But shortly after, he pushed the sword back in and said in an ice-cold tone.

“Do it.”

Dark magical powers coalesced.

Cullen raised his arms and gazed at the fortress. The group of 300 Necromancers behind him stood in their positions inside the forest. They chanted in unison as the dark magical powers twisted into infinite strength.

This shall be the start of our victory! Cullen said inwardly. But a glaring golden radiance flashed before his eyes. His heart skipped a beat almost instinctively and he had a premonition…

Boom!

The golden radiance blasted Cullen into the sky like a rag doll and he crashed to the ground heavily. Not only that, but the golden radiance also splashed and engulfed the flabbergasted Necromancers. Before the Necromancers reacted, a dozen more golden radiances flashed from above the fortress once again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

That was an incredibly strange scene, which the Necromancers’ skulls and bodies exploded to the sacred golden radiance for no apparent reasons. Although the sacred golden radiance brought about a dreamy view, it was a complete nightmare for them.

“Ambush! Defend!”

The Death Knights who stood before the Necromancers summoned their bone shields. But… was it enough?

Above the silver-whitish tower.

The Dawn Angels squinted, lifted their heavy, enormous crossbows, and aimed ahead. Shortly after, golden arrows appeared out of thin air and slotted into their crossbows. Then, they pulled the crossbow string back and golden radiance dazzled in a flash.

The sacred golden arrows streaked across the sky, penetrated the bone shields, and instantly exploded as they struck the Necromancers.

Boom!

Cullen crawled to his feet. He looked incredibly terrifying with half his skull already blown off. If it wasn’t due to the fact that his Soul Core wasn’t present in this body and the magic tool activated itself in the sense of danger, perhaps all he could do now was to return to his phylactery in his Mage Tower.

“They are Dawn Angels! Don’t reveal yourselves!”

Cullen commanded and gritted his teeth, which the Necromancers scrambled to behind the hillsides and boulders.

However, they were too late. The sacred golden arrows pierced their bodies and erupted in massive explosions that enveloped them completely.

But this was only the start!

“The Necromancers are eliminated, Sir Overlord.”

“Good, Miss Beni.”

Rhode nodded in satisfaction. Then, he snapped his fingers.

“Alright. It’s about time for our guests to enjoy a passionate hospitality.”
