Chapter 263: Domineering
“Grandpa, hurry and cast Radiant Glory! Expel this evil magic!” Florida shouted in a panic as he looked at the dumbfounded Ferguson.
The shocked Ferguson only reacted when he was reminded by his grandson. The magic staff in his hand burst forth again with the holy force of light as his aged voice resonated throughout the valley, “Oh noble God of Light, hear my calls. Disperse all darkness—Radiant Glory!”
A powerful light tore through the sky. Holy light elements permeated the air above the entire valley. The black-green layer of clouds created by Han Shuo’s Canopy of Necromancy immediately began to disperse under the radiance of the holy light, and disappeared without a trace in a short time.
Brilliant light scattered throughout the valley and intermixed with the numerous stars that dotted the sky to emit a soft light. As the holy force of light descended, the deathly air was quickly dispelled. The dark creatures summoned by Han Shuo started smoking under the rays of the holy light, and their speed and power were hindered.
However, the resurrected dead bodies weren’t much affected by the strong light from the Radiant Glory. Even though their skin also began emitting white smoke, they could still move freely, so they rushed straight at the troops of the three great powers.
The experts who died thanks to Han Shuo’s necromancy magic also had the presence of dark creatures on them. However, they’d only just died after all, so this dark presence was very weak. This enabled them to barely manage to resist the rays of light magic.
The Cairo mercenary band still had around twenty people left thanks to Han Shuo’s assistance earlier. They took advantage of the House of Menlo being stunned senseless to escape the encirclement of the three great powers and flee to the entrance of the valley.
Han Shuo knew the Canopy of Necromancy would certainly be dispelled wherever the Radiant Glory shone upon, and that the summoned dark creatures similarly wouldn’t be spared. However, a bit of acid from the Acid Bog had been already released earlier, so the men chasing Laureton’s group were more or less affected by this acid.
The House of Menlo was the one most affected. Their magical creature mounts panicked when they stepped into the acid, their feet and legs quickly consumed by the acid. This looked similar to the effects that Radiant Glory had when hitting dark creatures.
Adam Menlo had originally rushed at Han Shuo with a ferocious momentum, he was now waving the golden spear around to block the seven bone spurs. He kept cursing nonstop, evidently angered to death.
“You old thing, you want to kill me? Keke!” The three clones suddenly vanished, revealing the original Han Shuo now standing ten meters above Adam Menlo. His pupils were deep red as he cawed madly, the killing aura around his body condensing onto his arm. As Han Shuo’s hand smashed downwards, the focused killing aura rushed violently down like layers of blood.
“Damn it!” Adam Menlo cursed loudly. The spear had been defending him against the seven bone spurs was forced to change directions and head upwards instead. He pushed the fighting aura of a sky rider to its limit, forming a silver curtain of light to block the invasion of the bloody waves.
However, this force had been distilled from Han Shuo’s murderous aura, a terrifying power embodied within him. A thick killing intent that could cover the heavens and earth dropped down like a cage, its force comparable to a mountain. The curtain of light formed by the fighting aura could only resist for a span of two breaths of time before it was obliterated by the bloody waves.
Rumble! A loud explosion resounded. The bloody waves were like a river from the galaxy, surging over both Adam Menlo and the golden-winged roc. They drove the super rank magical creature straight down into the ground, creating an earthquake that shook the mountain wall.
Seeing that Han Shuo had shot down both their head of house and the golden-winged roc, the experts of the family suddenly panicked. They gave up chasing Laureton and swarmed to where their leader had fallen. As soon as they arrived, they saw both Adam Menlo and the golden-winged rock struggling to their feet. The men immediately surrounded the two.
When Han Shuo saw that the House of Menlo had already surrounded their head of house and the golden-winged roc, Han Shuo stood still in the sky and didn’t continue to attack. The golden-winged roc was obscuring his vision, so he couldn’t see if Adam Menlo was dead or alive. His terrifying presence and blood red eyes returned to normal after a while.
Han Shuo’s current strength could easily deal with a sky rider or a great swordmaster, with the little skeleton, victory was even more assured. However, the reason why he’d been able to thoroughly trounce Adam Menlo and the super rank roc just now was mostly likely due to the abundant killing aura that had filled the valley.
His one attack earlier had released all the killing aura he’d absorbed from the valley. Han Shuo had regained his calm. He once again summoned the three yin demons to surveil every moment within the valley.
