Chapter 482 - 431 : Death vs Light 2 (1/2)

The gate that transported the undead from Green-Leaf to the Bard Realm wasn't big enough to teleport the whole army at once, nevertheless, it was able to teleport a few millions every few seconds.

Aborak accompanied the first bulk and appeared in the Bard Realm only to witness an organized army composed of Righteous Holy Knights. Five differently clothes figures stood at the front of the army, each and every one of them emitted a powerful and unique aura.

The Lich King wasn't the least bit fazed by this sight, he banged his dusty staff on the ground, causing all the present undead to unsheathe their weapons and bang their foot on the ground, ready to finally start fighting.

There was only ten million undead, more or less, however, every dozen of seconds, the gate behind the Lich King would flash with a blinding light and another batch of undead appears.

One of the three Cardinals glanced at the excited army before focusing his gaze on the eerie Lich King.

”This is not a place for you to do as you please. Let us not resort to bloodshed and end this peacefully.”

Unfortunately, Aborak turned a deaf ear to the Cardinal. The commander of the undead army pointed his staff at the army of knights before them and released a loud and chilling screech.

Like a pack of hungry wolves, all the undead ran toward the Holy Knights. Although there were only five hundred or so Holy Knights, their individual strength was extraordinary.

Sadly, they greatly underestimated the number of undead as the normal skeletons would descend on the knights and cling onto their limbs, bounding them while their comrades finished the job.

It was a horrific sight as even these god-like knights weren't able to defend against ten million skeletons. Furthermore, with each passing second, the number of undead drastically increased.

Within a minute, a third of the Holy Knights were killed, as for the undead, one million were turned into ash. However, what was more astonishing is that Aborak would re-summon those falling undead in a split second.

The five leaders of the holy knights finally decided to make a move and personally target the Lich King. Three Cardinals joined hands to execute a powerful light attack while the two commanders of the Holy Order raised their swords and flew at the undead leader.

Five Overgods, experts in their own fields and experienced fighters launched a joint attack. Were Aborak alone amidst this army, he surely wouldn't have been able to resist but the truth was completely different.

The Cardinals' attack was faster than the commanders' as a blinding arrow of light flew at Aborak, obliterating anything in its way and even purifying the nearby undead just by its aura.

When it was about to clash with the motionless Lich King, who showed no signs of resisting, a golden enveloped him and easily stopped the strengthened Holy Arrow.

In the end, the arrow wasn't able to penetrate through the barrier so it dispersed into countless specks of lights. The two commanders, who had incredible speed and were clad in golden armors were stopped in their track by a gigantic entity.

It stood proudly and majestically before the two Overgods, its abyss-like eyes locked onto them and its mouth wide open, showing its long and terrifying fangs.

It was none other than the White Tiger, the Divine Beast that specializes in speed and offense. However, it wasn't just the White Tiger, just next to the flashing gate was an enormous Black Turtle that quietly floated in the air while supporting the Lich King and defended the army from dangerous attacks.

Using its Gravity Magic, the turtle caused the two commanders to plummet downwards and this opportunity was grasped by the White Tiger which appeared before the commanders and slashed with its claws.

The two Overgods weren't newbies, they raised their shields and successfully blocked the strike but they didn't expect the tiger to spit some lethal acid at them.

They managed to block most of the incoming acid by conjuring a Holy Barrier but such a measure lasted for a few seconds before it crumbled like glass.

The two commanders didn't retreat as that would make the Divine Beast attack the army of Holy Knights. Such a decision was definitely foolish as the Tiger suddenly disappeared from their sight and by the next second, one of them was sent flying toward the Black Turtle. The other commander wanted to save his comrade but the large figure which blocked his sight while angrily growling caused him to abandon such thoughts and focus on the opponent before him.

The commander who was sent flying toward the turtle met his end merely seconds later. He was trapped in an illusion which he was unable to break from. In the end, he was killed by fifty Bone Dragons which relentlessly attacked him from all sides.

Normally, an Overgod can't be killed this easily but this commander was trapped in an illusion, his mind was elsewhere and his body was motionless and without protection. Moreover, Holy Magic is vulnerable to Death Magic so it wasn't that surprising to see fifty fully-grown Bone Dragons rip the commander into shreds.

***

The three Cardinals wanted to join the fight but were unable to as the Lich King cast some sort of a strange technique that imprisoned the three of them. A small case made of bones appeared around them, trapping them like rats.

Although it didn't last for long, the time Aborak bought was enough for the Divine Beasts to finish the two commanders. It only got worse for the Holy Dominion when Arthur appeared along with Radolf and Midolf.

Arthur first glanced at the Holy Knights then at the two dead commanders before letting out a laugh. From then on, it was totally one-sided and a cruel sight to behold.

The Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon unleashed a torrent of attacks on the trapped Cardinals, literally roasting them alive and leaving them no chance to beg for forgiveness or retaliate.

As for the Holy Knights? Midolf's raging winds and Radolf's eternal black flames finished the remaining Holy Knights within minutes.

25 minutes after the beginning of this fight, all the undead appeared in the Bard Realm and the army of the Holy Dominion was thoroughly destroyed.

There were many spectators watching from afar but none dared to lend a hand or provoke Arthur after seeing what just happened. Some were even smart enough to record the fight in a crystal. The sequence of the fight spread to all corners of the realm in less than an hour, bringing fear to its inhabitants, who didn't know what Arthur's intentions were.

”A good fucking gain!”
