Chapter 65 - Divine Punishment (I) (2/2)

Furthermore, even they did, it's not like the enemy was going let them climb the mountain leisurely without attacking them in the process. the other way they could do this was only if they had a powerful mage among them that could launch a powerful long-range attack to distract them and break their formation. Unfortunately, the 4th imperial prince was the only powerful mage among them. They weren't even sure that he could cast such a long distance spell either. Furthermore, This was a test issued by him, which means that if they asked him for help, they would automatically fail the test. Not only that, they don't even know where he went.

While the Lightning Corps Including the four imperial knights were racking their brains in finding a way to get out from this dangerous situation, an unexpected sight unfolded.

An enemy soldier looked up at the sky and fell down to his knees. It was like a domino effect as the rest of them followed.

In the sky, directly above their heads, a huge black hole appeared. The black hole expanded again and again until it encompassed half of the mountain they were standing.

Darkness encompassed that particular location of the mountain as the sunlight failed to pierce through that black hole. It was as though the sky was torn and a huge gap opened.

Looking at the huge black hole up in the sky, they felt a deep sense of primal fear as though they were looking at the most dangerous thing in the world. Their instincts told them to run but they were unable to move a single muscle for some reason.

Suddenly,

~Bzzzzt, bzzzzzt~

A rain of lightning arrows poured down from that huge black hole like a heavenly punishment. There wasn't any sound of thunder but the crackling sound of the lightning arrows that poured down from the black hole like a divine punishment.

fifty, a hundred, two hundred, five hundred, a number of lightning arrows that couldn't be counted with the human naked eye, struck the men in black that were hiding in the mountains like a meteor shower.

They let out pained screams as the lightning arrows pierced through their throats and heads and burned their skins. Even the 3rd rank warriors couldn't overcome the pain as the lightning arrows pierced through their bodies and burned them from the inside.

Not only that, they weren't struck by one but multiple lightning arrows at once. Every time they got hit, they let out deathly screams and collapse into the ground. There was no way they could get away from that heavenly punishment. The men in black killed by the lightning arrows fell to the ground and quickly turned into charcoal.

It only took twenty seconds for the men black that were on the left side of the valley to be completely destroyed.

”...”

”...”

”...”

In front of the more than two hundred men black that had become charcoal, the whole valley of death was soaked in silence, whether it was the Lightning Corps, the four imperial knights or the enemy, their mouths were wide opened as they were watching that unbelievable scene in from them. They had no idea where the black hole came from nor the lightning arrows.

The lightning Corps and the four impartial knights were even more baffled because they didn't know since when they had such a powerful person backing them. This kind of power was enough to lay waste a small city and only a high-rank mage would possess such a power.

In a split second, Mark who was the most powerful and knowledgeable of them, quickly came up with a frightening possibility of who that person might be.

” No, It's impossible.” Mark's face turned slightly pale, finding it hard to accept this truth.
