On the surface of Nazarick, a sky full of attack magic rained down on the exposed building in the middle of a "deep valley." Although the building's walls were made of special hard materials, they began to crumble under the fierce attacks.
As the fourth level's wall was damaged, water from the underground lake flowed out, forming a small waterfall. The great golem guardian hidden at the bottom of the lake was exposed due to the continuously dropping water level, but the Nazarick side clearly had no intention of activating this war destroyer, allowing the church army's magic attacks to pound golem guardian, destroying this war puppet's body bit by bit.
"It's like pouring water into a cup until the water rises above the cup and overflows."
At some point, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the fourth level's ground. A cold air rushed out of the hole, followed by a terrifying flying monster.
"The enemy has appeared!"
"All forces, be on high alert!"
Lakyus gave the order to the entire army with a serious face.
The total number of church troops dispatched this time was 100,000, of which about 13,000 were above LV85, 25,000 were above LV70, and the rest were mid-tier professionals with a lowest level of LV50. This huge number of people covered almost all professions in the combat system, and it was a combat legion with extremely comprehensive capabilities.
As the order was passed to the entire army, not only did the magic casters flying in the air, but also the archers lined up at the edge of the valley unleashed a rain of enchanted arrows. The monster forces summoned by the summoners and beast masters, with enhanced buffs from priests and professional commanders, rushed toward the monsters emerging from the great tomb.
Kill!!!
Facing the surging wave of monsters, Albedo and Shalltear took the lead as the vanguard of the assault, with magical enhancements provided by Mare, Aura, and the others in the back. They forcibly opened two gaps in the chaotic monster group, allowing their own troops to continuously advance.
What was surprising was that even though Albedo and the two others were eliminating a large number of summoned creatures as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, Lakyus and the others had no intention of stepping forward to fight. They simply watched coldly as they led their forces to approach.
"That woman!"
Albedo casually swung her battle-axe, beheading a summoned angel. Her eyes instantly locked onto Lakyus. She flapped the wings at her waist and quickly rushed toward Lakyus.
No matter the circumstances, killing the enemy commander was the best choice to defeat an army. If all the backbones of the Church of Destiny could be killed, the impact on the enemy would certainly be huge. So not only her, but other members of Nazarick were also charging into the main enemy forces, trying to defeat the enemy's command system in the shortest possible time.
The monsters summoned by the summoner army were easily defeated by the guardians of the Great Tomb. Normally, the highest level of summoned creatures could only reach LV70, and depending on the summoner's own level, the level might be even lower.
Seeing that the monster army rushing out of the great tomb had almost left the "deep valley" range and would be engaging in close-quarters combat with the vanguard of the church army, Lakyus and the others finally took action.
Golden light spewed out from the army commanders in four directions. Four huge energy spheres suddenly appeared above the valley, like four burning suns.
Not good!!!
A terrible sense of death shrouded their entire bodies. Albedo and the others' expressions changed, and they immediately rushed toward their respective targets at an even faster speed. Because retreating at this moment was useless at all, only charging could give them a chance to survive!
What a pity...
"[Duplicate Magic: Platinum Blast]"!!!
Lakyus, Fluder, Leinas and Quaiesse shouted out the names of their skills in unison. In an instant, the four energy spheres exploded at the same time! The destructive energy enveloped everything in the entire valley, including the monsters summoned by the church army, Nazarick's army, and the Great Tomb's main building. The attack, which was stronger than YGGDRASIL's Super-Tier Magic, caused a huge explosion that shook the heavens and the earth! A howling hurricane swept around, and the clouds in the sky were blown away by this terrifying power.
When the energy explosion subsided, the white smoke gradually dissipated, and the following scene appeared: the dense summons disappeared, as did the monster army from Nazarick. Only a few scattered black shadows were left—the level 100 guardians of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick!
"You despicable creatures! How dare you!!!"
Albedo, with white smoke coming out of her body, rushed toward Lakyus like a ghost from hell, wielding a kite shield and a battle-axe, roaring furiously and launching a heavy attack.
"Furious?"
Lakyus gripped Kilineiram with both hands and faced Albedo without giving up. Her cold eyes held a glaring flash of anger. "This is just an appetizer. Can you hear the wails of millions of citizens in hell, demon?!"
Sharp blades clashed, and Albedo was unable to withstand the opponent's strong force, her body uncontrollably retreating a few steps. Even so, she remained unfazed, "Hmph! The curses of the weak are so feeble that they can't be heard at all!"
"Then I will let you hear the sound of death clearly!"
Holy light quickly gathered behind Lakyus, forming a huge phantom of a female angel. As she clasped her hands together, a great holy sword formed in the blink of an eye.
Angel's Judgment: Judgment Sword!
Albedo raised her Kite Shield to defend. The holy sword came crashing down on the shining kite shield. Although the great force of the impact caused her to fall back continuously, it did no harm to her body, until...
Boom!
The second effect of the holy sword was triggered, and the entire body of the sword began to quickly shatter, causing a holy-attribute explosive damage to the target. Even without waiting for the smoke from the explosion to fully dissipate, Lakyus rushed in with Kilineiram.
On the other side of the battlefield, Aura and Mare, the siblings, frantically rushed out of the range of the [Duplicate Magic: Platinum Blast] attack. The closest to them were the western forces led by Zesshi Zetsumei and the Black Scripture team.
Swish!
A black shadow flashed, and when Aura came to her senses, Quaiesse, holding the Champion's Scythe, had appeared in front of her with a twisted smile on his face. The blade, shining with a cold light, sliced toward her slender waist like lightning.
"Magic Shield!"
A green magic barrier blocked the blade's edge. Although it was quickly broken by Quaiesse, it still gave Aura some time. If Aura had taken this opportunity to retreat, she most likely wouldn't have been able to escape Quaiesse's pursuit, but she didn't need to do that.
Gray swallowed the surroundings in the blink of an eye. Quaiesse was dazed for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in a gray space. The terrain around him was undoubtedly the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. Behind them were the Black Scripture and a portion of the Church army, but further away... there was no sign of the other friendly forces.
Quaiesse slowly raised his head and looked at Aura and Mare who were floating in the air, a calm smile on his face. "Is this a painting space... [Map of Mountains and Countries]?"
