Chapter 2673 - 892: Children, the Brightest Light Is Born in the Darkest Hour (Massive Hush) [6/10]
(For the brother "Whale and Azure Sky" Extra Update [1/5])
The Master of Hunting is an absolute antagonist.
He possesses all the traditional virtues of a qualified villain. For instance, even when the Great Marshal of the Jackal Wolves at the Lord’s position has been killed and the entire army is relentlessly being scorched from the sky by Heavenly Fire, this Evil God still refuses to bow out gracefully.
Perhaps it was because Murphy publicly executed a Hunting War Spirit in front of Him, igniting the Master of Hunting’s wrath. In any case, the divine power field surrounding the battlefield not only remained unlifted but faintly showed signs of rebounding.
Previously, the cooperation of the Eastern Holy Spirit with the "Hall of Valor’s opening" had severely damaged the divine power field, and it only needed to naturally dissipate. But Lin hadn’t anticipated that the Master of Hunting would be this greedy.
Its servants have already failed, but it clearly hasn’t "had enough."
Now, as the Evil God is about to awaken, perhaps sacrificing all the wolf people on the western front would enable Him to open His eyes tonight, to hunt down the Dog Murphy who killed His Hunting War Spirit right in front of Him, personally, in place of His useless servants.
With such reasons driving Him, from the perspective of the Master of Hunting, perhaps continuing this war and using the Transia People’s airships’ Heavenly Fire to wipe out the wolf people on the ground is the optimal solution.
As the divine power field strengthened again, the wolf people, initially driven to retreat leaderless, once more turned around with bloodshot eyes. Their inherently simple minds, suppressed temporarily by their faith, were infused with something even more terrifying into their savage forms.
Making them forget defeat, forget the torment of the blazing fire, forget the threat of death, and even forget themselves, they were once again incited by extreme thoughts to rush back to attack the advancing Transia People aided by sky artillery.
This time, they no longer sought victory, it was purely a marionette being sent to its death.
This vicious tactic immediately threw the battlefield into an unpredictable scenario, where the Transia Warriors who followed Murphy out of the position to chase the enemy fell into being surrounded again.
Seeing the unfavorable situation from an airship, Old Qin disregarded any conservation of ammunition and ordered the last of the projectile firepower to be thrown down from the three airships.
He tried to blast a path for the warriors on the ground in this manner.
However, Triss, who did not follow Murphy in the chase and remained stationed at the position, saw things clearly. To break the impasse now would require the most direct method.
The Master of Hunting was reconstituting the divine power field, but since it had been purified before, a small-scale divine purification could solve the problem from the Origin.
The Crimson Witch immediately turned back to the purification ritual used for communicating with the divine power, where the Knight of Liwen, who had recently held a wave of purifying divine power from the Eastern Holy Spirit, lay unconscious, alive or dead.
This Knight of Liwen really was a chronic "blood-spitter."
Just like a certain sect leader from another world, he coughed up blood for amusement.
Earlier, at the Blackflame Mountain Pass Death Plateau, she risked calling the Eastern Holy Spirit to break the enemy for the players, and she coughed up blood then, which put her in a wheelchair for half a month. This time was more severe, with Lin’s descent taking longer and involving more divine power.
If not for the Holy Spirit itself allocating out power to protect her, she might have burned to ashes when the purifying power exploded just now. But even so, this reservist "Dragon Lady" wouldn’t hope for her injuries to heal within a couple of months.
And if she couldn’t increase her strength quickly after this, when Lin uses her body to release power next time, perhaps no one would be able to save her.
After all, LiWen only carries half of Calum’s bloodline.
She’s not considered a true "Dragonborn" and does not perfectly align with the power of the Star Realm Dragon.
"Are you okay?"
Lady Triss stepped forward, using Spiritual Energy to help LiWen up. She poured a vial of secret medicine meant to stimulate spirit recovery into LiWen’s mouth, patting her back, and asked:
"Can you hold on?"
"The noise outside is still echoing, I can sense the Evil God roaring, He is infuriated. The Master of Hunting is chanting Sir Morphy’s name and still refuses to bow out, it seems the Lord of Transylvania did something terrible to Him."
LiWen, now blind, coughed. This clever knight didn’t need Triss to spell it out to understand the Blood Vulture Duke’s intention. She said:
"I must communicate with my God once again; we must call upon the Fire of World’s Purification again to drive back the Evil God, help me reorganize the ritual! Lady Triss."
"If you do it again, you could die, couldn’t you?"
Triss was relieved by LiWen’s understanding but also expressed concern, saying:
"Just experiencing divine power on a large scale before had already brought your body to the brink of collapse, and that was with the Eastern Holy Spirit deliberately allocating power to protect you - are you truly ready for such a noble sacrifice?"
"Who would want to die if they could live..."
LiWen said helplessly:
"But Biqi is still on the battlefield, isn’t she? If I don’t complete this divine purification, that fool might not come back. If I knew how perilous it was here, I should have helped persuade Lord Kudell to let her join the God Slayer expedition.
So, help me up, I need to call the Holy Spirit’s Power once more."
"Tsk, your relationship truly is enviable and terrifying to others."
