Chapter 757 There were two types of people who would suddenly use an ultimate ability on the battlefield without saying anything .
The first type would be foolish newbies . They would want to be the center of attention, which would naturally result in their deaths in the very next moment .
The other type would be veterans who would run away right after acting pretentious… ahem, I meant who were confident and strong enough to suppress the entire battle after a display of their skills .
Dawn's Holy Light illuminated the entire battlefield . My tactical weapon that I had especially prepared for the cruel Holy War had a strong buff effect, long duration, low consumption, and many other benefits . Although the debuff was only effective against the demons and undead, this was quite acceptable when compared to Dawn's strengths . The only real weakness was probably…
"…It's a little too good at taunting the entire battlefield . "
The first to arrive before me was a bone dragon and two small squadrons of gargoyles . Bardi's dragon knights and griffin knights had been unable to block every single aerial undead troop .
If this had been in the past, I would have required some time to deal with such a level of opponent, but now…
"Holy Light . "
I praised the Holy Light in a low voice, causing the hovering Dawn sword to glimmer with even more blinding Holy Light . But this time, the Holy Light was gathering rather than spreading .
One, two, 10, 100 streaks of Holy Light flew through the sky . The undead flying didn't even notice that they had been attacked until after they were destroyed .
Although I needed to maintain my Holy Light sword Dawn, this didn't mean that I would be defenseless .
I controlled the beams of light with my hands . Every movement of mine caused a beam of light to shoot towards an undead target .
These beams of light were highly effective . Every single beam targeted a high-level flying undead .
"Towers 1 through 71! Ready, aim, fire!"
Dawn created Holy Light turrets which made all this seem like a tower defense game . Combat was as easy as needing to click . The turrets' attack speed was far faster than the undead's reaction speed . All the targeted flying undead were directly sent crashing into the ground .
The beams of light formed a net of Holy Light as golden explosions kept occurring in the sky, making the most beautiful fireworks . There was no space at all to pass through the turret fire .
This was probably the easiest battle that I had ever experienced . I killed several hundred high-level undead in just an instant . Even though the results were wonderful, I didn't intend on hunting the undead to the end .
"This uses up far too much energy…"
In just 30 seconds, I had created 312 turrets of Holy Light, resulting in 1/3 of my Dawn sword's Holy Light being used up . If I did this two more times, then Dawn's light would immediately be extinguished .
In a way, Dawn was also a part of my body . I also felt slightly weakened after using up 1/3 of its total Holy Light .
Still, I had achieved my objective .
The first wave of undead attacking me had been eradicated . The human side had also gained precious time from this .
A thorny forest had been raised in front of me as Piranha Plant warriors crawled out from within . The royal dragon knights and dragon knights were both protectively surrounding me .
The slowly rising Holy Light sun dispelled all darkness . It was my understanding of Chaos and search for Holy Light that made me create this Dawn sword as the natural enemy of all Chaos .
"Pure Holy Light, please grant me the strength to dispel this darkness . "
I half kneeled and prayed devoutly in a self-hypnotizing method to strengthen my connection to the Holy Light . The Elemental Tide in the area began to roil and furiously gather even more light .
Meanwhile, the Holy Light sun in the sky began to glow yet again .
"…Isn't this too ridiculous? His Holy Light capacity and affinity are far more than the pope's . "
It was quite understandable why I had been referred to as the God of Holy Light's illegitimate child back in the day . My outrageous affinity for Holy Light had evolved to its utmost thanks to the additional support of my Arbiter's angel bloodline .
"Holy Light, how is this possible…"
"Desecrator . "
At this moment, even the most devout worshipper of the God of Holy Light would doubt their own belief .
I spread open my wings of light from my War Angel form, causing countless amounts of light to gather on my wings at a speed visible to the naked eye . My elemental affinity for gathering Holy Light had far surpassed even the highest-level angel .
Someone that the Holy Church treated as an evil heretic was actually such a powerful user of Holy Light? This made the Holy Church's teachings about how "The God of Holy Light will grant power only to the most devout worshippers" nothing more than a joke .
"Why does his method of using Holy Light seem so much like using magic…"
"Stop making things up . Do you want to be judged as a heretic?"
"There's no mistaking it . He's controlling Holy Light with the method to control the elements . "
"He didn't pray or utter any religious praise . He didn't even connect to divine power…"
I could easily hear the archmages discussing my Holy Light show with each other . Now that I had displayed my method of using Holy Light at such a close distance to them, they would likely look at Holy Light from a new angle in the future .
This was exactly what I wanted .
The rain suddenly stopped as the clouds in the sky began to distort as if they were afraid of my pure Holy Light .
"Roland!"
The screaming clouds transformed into a gigantic undead face that cast a shadow over the entire battlefield . This face was rather familiar to me .
"Shupnus?"
I could sense that Shupnus was an incredible master of water magic, which wasn't in my information about him at all . It would seem that this Undead Emperor had hidden much about himself which was worthy of researching .
As for Shupnus hating me? It wasn't like there would be a lot fewer who hated me without him .
Unlike what the information on Shupnus's personality suggested, he didn't rashly rush at me in a fit of anger . The low number of undead here wouldn't possibly be a match for the human allied army after the heavy rainfall and darkness favoring the undead had been dispelled .
Shupnus glared at me one last time, and then retracted the clouds while flying off into the distance . He had retreated .
The high-level undead also unhesitatingly began retreating, while the low-level undead cannon fodder were left on the battlefield without anyone to care about them . In fact, the low-level undead were forced to use their utmost strength to cover the intelligent undead's retreat .
This was why Undead Calamities would always repeat themselves . It would be meaningless to only slay some undead cannon fodder as long as the high-level undead and Undead Lords weren't eradicated . Yet, more than 90% of an undead army would consist of cannon fodder .
Judging from the results, the human side had obtained a glorious victory… But based on everyone's serious expressions, not a single person would think that this was a glorious victory .
The undead had attacked with a force that was less than 10% the size of the human allied army and still succeeded in causing a great number of injuries and deaths . Injured warriors were moaning in pain and shouting for help everywhere on the battlefield even now .
This had given a good impact to the arrogant humans—an Undead Calamity would never be easy to deal with . Even if the humans were superior in average power level, this was no hiking trip or vacation . Being careless would still lead to total annihilation .
Meanwhile, all the archmages surrounded me . I could pretty much guess what they wanted to ask .
I thus brought out a book that I had personally wrote . This was a book that the fairies would be publishing for me starting next month . This book's title and contents would surely shake the entire world .
"It's Time to Get off the Divine Altars: the True Nature of Holy Light . "
Perhaps this would indeed be my final attempt to steal believers from the Holy Church, since if the God of Holy Light lost enough worshippers to no longer be a God, there would naturally be no more need to steal any more worshippers from him .
