Chapter 170 An all-out siege!
Chapter 170 An all-out siege!
Chapter 170 An all-out siege!
Sillian took a deep breath, and the blazing white flames, instead of weakening due to the attack, suddenly burst forth with an even more dazzling and captivating light, as if a large amount of fuel had been added!
"Holy Nova!"
Centered on herself, she compressed the immense energy of light to its limit and then released it suddenly!
A pure white energy ring, containing the power of purification and expulsion, suddenly spread out, forcibly repelling Sori and Labour who were attacking from the side!
Sorina, who had merged into the shadows, was scorched by the holy light, letting out a painful groan as wisps of black smoke rose from her body.
Labour's dragon-scale-covered arm rubbed violently against the holy light energy, producing a piercing sound, and was even pushed back half a step by this explosive force!
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Silian pointed her staff high into the sky!
"Dawn's Spear - Judgment!"
The gemstone at the top of the "Radiant Light" staff converged to its fullest extent, and a blazing spear, several meters long and shrouded in runes, made of highly condensed holy light energy, instantly took shape!
It exuded a terrifying pressure and scorching heat that sent chills down one's spine, as if it were truly a divine spear of judgment hurled down—"Go!"
The light spear tore through the air with a resolute determination to destroy everything, not aimed at Brown who was closest to it, but straight at Sean who was casting a spell high above!
To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first!
Silian's combat instincts told her that the pale, silent enemy was the most dangerous and the one that needed to be interrupted first!
Sean's pupils contracted slightly, clearly not expecting that Sillian could launch such a precise and fierce counterattack even under such a disadvantageous situation!
He had to interrupt the complex curse runes, his ten fingers flying across the ground as he created rapidly spinning, twisting shields of shadow in front of him!
"BOOM!!!"
The light spear slammed into the shadow shield!
Blinding white light and darkness that devoured light annihilated and exploded against each other!
The violent energy surge caused the entire plaza to tremble!
The first three shadow shields that Sean had set up shattered almost instantly. It wasn't until the fourth shield that he barely managed to withstand the impact of the light spear. However, he himself was also thrown backward by the enormous force, and his face became even paler, clearly indicating that he had consumed a lot of energy.
"asshole!"
Brown roared in anger upon seeing this, feeling ignored and going berserk!
He held back, and the bone spurs on his arms suddenly swelled up again, like two ferocious spiked clubs, with dark energy enveloping them as if boiling!
"Soul-Splitting Bite!"
He pounced again, his claws crossing and tearing, leaving trails of black light that tore through space, aiming straight for Sirian's head and chest!
Meanwhile, having recovered, Sori once again blended into the shadows, like the most deadly viper, searching for gaps in Sirian's defenses.
Labour took a deep breath, and the runes on his dragon-scaled arms lit up, beginning to prepare a powerful dragon-breath attack!
Sillian had just unleashed the powerful "Spear of Dawn," and her aura had slightly subsided.
Faced with Brown's furious all-out attack, her eyes sharpened, and the "Radiance" staff instantly blocked in front of her!
"clang!!!"
A deafening clang, like metal clashing, resounded as the staff and bone claws clashed violently, holy flames and dark energy clashing fiercely!
The ground beneath Sirian's feet cracked inch by inch!
She managed to withstand the blow thanks to her skillful use of energy and the superior quality of her staff, but the enormous impact still caused her arm to go numb slightly and her body to slide back half a step!
At this very moment, when the old forces have just been exhausted and the new forces have not yet been generated!
The shadow behind her twisted and turned, and Sori emerged silently like a ghost, holding a short dagger made entirely of shadow that exuded soul-corroding power. He ruthlessly stabbed her in the back, aiming for her vital heart!
Meanwhile, Rabul's dragon breath was ready, and a scorching yet decaying shadow dragon breath roared in, sealing off her escape route!
Sean steadied himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and a silent mental spike once again attacked Sirius's mind!
A decisive victory!
Besieged on all sides, each attack is deadly!
At this critical moment, a resolute golden light flashed in Silian's eyes!
She didn't dodge or evade, letting Sori's shadow dagger pierce her back and let Labour's dragon breath blast her forward!
Just as the attack was about to strike, "Seraph's Embrace!"
All the luminous energy within her burst into flames in a near-self-destructive manner!
A colossal, six-winged angel phantom, composed entirely of holy flame, suddenly expanded and appeared from within her body, enveloping her completely!
This angelic phantom is both the strongest shield and the most ferocious attack!
Sori's shadow dagger struck the angelic phantom, melting away almost instantly like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun. He himself was burned by the scorching holy flames, screaming as he was sent flying backward!
Rabble's Shadow Dragon Breath struck the angelic phantom, unleashing a deafening roar, but it couldn't break through instantly!
Sean's mental spikes were also weakened and deflected by that blazing fire of the soul!
Meanwhile, at the core of the angelic phantom, a trace of golden blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that this defense beyond the limit was also a great burden on her!
But she managed to seize that precious moment!
"In the name of light—purify!"
Ignoring her injuries, she slammed the "Radiance" staff into the ground!
An even larger, tsunami-like holy energy surged wildly outwards in all directions from her center!
It was as if a real sun had risen in this dark land!
This time, she's going to forcibly clear the area!
Sirian's voice was no longer a clear shout, but a declaration containing endless majesty and determination!
As the "Radiant Light" staff plunged deep into the scorched earth, the vast, ocean-like magical power of light within her, along with the power she gained by burning her life essence, poured out without reservation!
"Boom boom!!!"
It was no longer an energy ring, but a real, pure, blazing white ocean composed of liquid holy light, surging, expanding, and exploding wildly in all directions from her center!
At that moment, she seemed to have truly transformed into the core of the sun!
An endless burst of light and heat erupted!
The brightness instantly exceeded the limit that the human eye could bear, illuminating the entire Nar Palace and even most of the city as if it were daytime—no, it was a million times brighter than daytime!
No shadow can hide!
All the filth was vaporized directly!
All the negative energy screamed and dissipated as if it had encountered its nemesis!
"Ugh!!!"
Brown, who is closest to the plant, is the first to be affected!
His agonizing screams were drowned out by the ocean of light!
The boiling dark energy and hideous bone spurs on his body surface melted and collapsed at an unprecedented speed under this absolute baptism of light, like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun!
He was violently swept away by that torrent of pure light, his body charred and carbonized, emitting thick black smoke, before crashing heavily into the distant ruins, his fate unknown!
Sori was even more miserable!
He himself has the highest affinity with dark energy and is almost powerless against such extreme purification by light!
Before he could even let out a proper scream, his body, which had just been forced out of the shadows, burst into flames in the white light, like a paper doll thrown into a furnace!
He desperately tried to resist by channeling his dark energy, but it only made the burning more intense. In the end, he turned into a screaming ball of fire and was thrown away violently. His aura instantly weakened to the extreme, clearly indicating that he had suffered a devastating blow!
Labour was in slightly better shape; his dragon-scaled arms had extremely high resistance to energy attacks.
But in this pure ocean of light, he could only roar as he shielded his body with his dragon-scaled arms, forcibly suppressing the shadow dragon breath back into his body!
He was pushed backward by the tide of light, his dragon scales sizzling and emitting wisps of blue smoke. Although he barely withstood the purification, he was clearly not feeling well, and his internal energy was in complete chaos!
Even Sean, who was high up and originally intended to continue casting the spell, had a drastic change in expression!
Although the surging tide of light was weakened by the distance, it still made him feel extremely uncomfortable and threatened!
He had to abandon his spellcasting once again. His pale fingers moved rapidly, and layers of shadowy barriers appeared in front of him, like building a dam in front of a flood!
The barrier shattered and reformed repeatedly under the impact of the light tide, emitting a teeth-grinding cracking sound. Although he eventually managed to block it, he was forced to retreat repeatedly, looking quite disheveled. His usual composure and calmness finally disappeared!
The dark legions surrounding them suffered utter annihilation!
The low-level shadow puppet didn't even last a second before it vaporized and disappeared!
The wolf-headed man and the shadow warrior let out mournful howls amidst the tide of light, their bodies melting like wax figures!
The ghostly warhorses beneath the headless horseman neighed and vanished, their armor turning crimson in the holy light.
distortion!
In a single, indiscriminate outbreak, more than a third of the dark creations were completely purified and destroyed!
The entire palace square, and even the streets further away, were swept away by this devastating wave of purifying light!
All the remaining darkness was swept away, leaving only scorched earth and a blinding white expanse!
As the light gradually faded, Sirian's figure reappeared.
She knelt on one knee, supporting herself with the "Radiance" staff, panting heavily. Golden blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, falling onto the scorched ground with a hissing sound.
Her brilliant blonde hair seemed to have lost some of its luster, and her face was as pale as paper. Clearly, the attack just now had exhausted her enormous strength and might even have damaged her very essence.
But her eyes remained sharp, like burning gold, fixed on Sean and Labour, who, though disheveled, had not lost their fighting ability, and Brown and Thauri, who were still clueless about their fate in the distance.
She successfully cleared the area, but at a great cost.
The battlefield fell into an eerie silence for the time being.
Only Silyan's heavy breathing and the occasional sound of distant building ruins collapsing could be heard.
Sean slowly lowered his hands, which had been maintaining a defensive posture, and for the first time, a clear and gloomy anger appeared on his eternally pale face.
He looked at Sirian with eyes as cold as a venomous snake.
"It's truly—an astonishing death throes."
His voice was hoarse, carrying a dangerous air of a wild beast driven to the brink of despair.
"But that's enough. Rabble, kill her!"
Rabble shook his still-smoking dragon-scaled arm, let out a low, violent dragon roar, and approached the obviously weakened Srian step by step.
Sillian struggled to her feet, gripped "Dawn's Radiance" tightly, and prepared to face the final and most brutal battle.
Sillian was breathing heavily, each breath pulling at her internal organs as if they were about to shatter.
Golden blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth, dripping onto the ground and burning small craters.
She forcefully squeezed out her almost depleted source of magic, her fingers gripping "Dawn" trembling slightly from the excessive force, but her spine remained straight.
His eyes, burning with golden flames, were fixed on the approaching Rabble and the distant Sean, whose aura had turned dangerous and sinister.
Labour let out a low, inhuman roar. On his dragon-scaled arm, scorched by the holy light, shadow energy surged restlessly once more, repairing the damage and adding to his ferocity.
He stomped his foot on the ground and charged toward Sirian like a heavy battering ram, his speed and power not diminished much by the impact!
Sirian's eyes narrowed, and she was about to muster her last bit of strength to fight back. However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
