“All right, let’s do it again!”
Adolf launched himself in the air, his body glowing in bright holy light.
He had been transformed into a pure, holy spirit body, of which the harmonization with the holy light was far better than anyone else. He was many times lower in exhaustion rate and more powerful than others were.
Knowing that Adolf was all right, the templars cheered and fought on. The Gorefiend finally broke into the encirclement of the monsters. It swept Adolf up and onto its back.
“Fight!”
Adolf wasted no time. He brandished his saber and charged at the monsters.
…
A beam of holy light as if an ocean-splitting gigantic sword divided the endless Blacktide in half.
The Night Lord was clad in golden armor, the bright white light emitted from his body turning into spikes, shooting out, and wiping out any monsters that came close to him.
Unlike the Steel Lord, the Night Lord achieved the Palatinate realm through the orthodox route of dark energy. At the time, he had not started cultivating the holy power. He started off with dark energy, which had the most complete system and greatest potential. With a learner attitude, he started the arduous journey of cultivation. As if luck would have it, he had broken the limits and opened his mental Tidal Gate, which allowed him to connect to the sea of energy.
During the connection, the Palatinate’s power was unlimited. It was not just empty talk.
Just like the Night Lord. After he achieved Palatinateship, his biggest and most terrifying special ability was that he could maintain this state of connection indefinitely.
It was important to know that the rest of the Palatinates would only use the sea of energy as their ultimate move. The scouring of endless energy would seriously overload the body. But the Night Lord did not have this worry. The special ability he got after achieving Palatinateship allowed an indefinite connection without overloading his body.
“Show your face! I can see you!”
The Night Lord’s face stern, staring into the Blacktide in the distance. Behind him, a brutal battle was still raging on the holy city wall. In front of him was an endless sea of black water covered in black mist.
Whether it was the regular gray dinosaur-like monster, the stronger gargoyles, or other monsters like the giant beetles, nothing could come close within a hundred meters from him.
Within a hundred meters radius, the twisting force field naturally released by the Night Lord, combined with the massive amount of holy light particles, had cleared out a quiet and safe zone in the black water.
As if the Blacktide had sensed the threat, a large patch of black water suddenly surged and rose.
It caught the attention of the Night Lord. He sensed enormous evil energy rising as if it wanted to devour the surrounding energy. So he flew over here. Other than the original body, which was absent, he was the strongest around here. He must ward any enemies off, no matter what they were.
Out of the black water slowly emerged a huge black skull that could fit an entire sports stadium. On its face was a blood-red vertical eye.
In the distance part of the black water rose four spikes with black tentacles coiled around them. They were as tall as one hundred meters with pure blue oval light eggs on top as they fully rose. Not knowing what they were, but the Night Lord had a bad feeling about them.
“Got to take down the four sticks quickly!” He told himself as a pair of holy power long swords formed in his hands. Golden light particles flew onto the surface of the long swords, coating them into pale gold.
“Besides, I can test out my skills and see how they work about the breakthrough!” the Night Lord nonchalantly mumbled to himself, but deep inside, he did not feel that relaxed at all.
Raising his pair of sabers and putting the hilts back-to-back so that the sabers become a double-edged sword.
“Shadowing.”
He looked up and a huge black dragon with golden eyes and black wings emerged behind and circled around him. The shadowy black dragon spread its wings and shrouded him.
“Seal of the Shadowking, release!”
The wings of the black dragon glowed in white light. They slowly spread again, revealing the Night Lord inside. He had changed into a black armor dotted with white-gold patterns. As tall as a dozen meters, the black armor looked devilish and holy at the same time under the light of the holy power. Three hideous spiral horns grew on his helmet, with sharp barbs in all his joints. On the chest was a golden dragon round emblem that glowed with white light.
“I could only summon the shadow of Seal of the Shadowking last time. Now I could summon its actual body?” The Night Lord mumbled to himself inside the armor.
His hand was holding the black hilt hanging from his waist. The sword handle was crisscrossed like dragon teeth. The scabbards and guards had two majestic black dragon claws, one on the left and one on the right.
Down below, the huge one-eyed monster was rising out of the black water. His body was rising higher and bigger. Seconds later, as he fully rose on his feet, he had become as massive as a thousand-meter-tall mountain, overlooking everything under his feet.
Each of the black giant’s hands had nine fingers. A dense array of gray wheels were spinning on his body. Each of these wheels spun at different speeds as if clocks of different flows of time.
Giant python-like, red-eyed black dragons rose behind the giant all of a sudden. Each of these dragons was hundreds of meters long. There were bruises on them, their scales incomplete, and they were exuding an air of despair and pain.
“Black dragon…” The Night Lord’s voice finally got serious. His hand armor clenching the hilt was creaking loudly. A seemingly similar feeling came from his part of the Night Lord’s soul.
“It seemed you were the one that destroyed and corroded me last time.” He stood upright, relaxing his hands. “But now, things are different. Now…”
A beam of white light struck across the sky, cutting through all obstacles, like a mighty sword piercing through space. The white light gradually changed and turned into a majestic dragon with pure white gold eyes and white scales.
The white dragon broke through the black clouds, its golden eyes drawing two strokes of golden lines in the sky and straight into the red eye of the giant. White light accompanied by the moan of the dragon broke up the black clouds and illuminated the sky. Black blood started to rain down, and before it touched the ground, it turned into white light particles before dissipating in the air.
“Now, I won’t be defeated again.” Looking up at the one-eyed giant, who staggered backward, the Night Lord’s Seal of the Shadowking armor vibrated, emitting a massive amount of black particles.
“Kill!”
He clenched his sword and charged at the giant’s chest.
…
Near the Divine Pillar.
Lin Sheng seemed to hear some voices while in hibernation.
