757 Victory (1/2)

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.
