Chapter 410 Holy Light
The chaotic battle unfolds in a village that has been destroyed.
Not long ago, the attackers regarded themselves as guardians of the land and people, as practitioners and disseminators of the holy light, as soldiers who maintained tradition and order, but now, they are just a group of hungry and crazy robbers.
Hunger, it can make people weak and bring death, but before it fully exerts its power, it can also make people go in another direction: crazy and cruel.
Wright didn't know how many people were attacking. He only felt that every ruin around him, every fence outside the village, and even the grass and earth slopes farther away were enemies. The screams of frenzy and even ecstatic came from all directions, and there was no sound of humanity in the shouts.
He waved the melt-cut sword in his hand, and the blade emitted a hot light due to the magic power. He was not a skilled swordsman, and even his long sword was not much stronger than a civilian holding a pitchfork. But he was tall and strong, Kong Wu was powerful. Every time he swung the sword, he was enough to drive those hungry and crazy enemies to far enough. In the swing of the long sword, he clearly saw the ugly appearance of the attackers.
They were wearing dirty and ragged armor and robes, their faces were stained with mud, and some even had dried blood on their faces. Their eyes were bloodshot and red, and their eyes were completely like beasts. They shouted and rushed towards the bonfire, towards the civilians, and even towards the soldiers who had completely wiped out their troops and were extremely frightened. They had long lost their rationality and fear in their eyes. They only had food and fire.
Countless attackers surged out of the darkness. The Cecil soldiers present covered the civilians and retreated while using the bunker to launch a counterattack. The dazzling beam of scorching rays kept tearing open one deadly flame after another in the darkness, but there were too many enemies.
A soldier threw a crystal grenade, and the grenade exploded violently on the other side of the bonfire. In the loud bang and strong flash of the explosion, several attackers were swept into the sky, and the enemy's offensive stopped slightly. It seemed that this devastating explosion left a terrifying impression in their hearts, making them instinctively afraid even in madness. However, their fear lasted for a short few seconds, and someone shouted loudly: "There are few people! Don't be afraid, they are few! Kill! Kill! They have food! They have food!"
The hunger and the highly tense nerves made these people completely lose their minds. They almost fearlessly began to attack the temporary defense line composed of Cecil soldiers. This complete chaos was effective all by instinctive "tactics": there were too few Cecil soldiers, and there was no "fire explosion" here that could destroy thousands of people. Under their crazy impact, the defense line composed of Wright and his comrades could only retreat step by step.
A fully armed Cecil soldier was equivalent to a low-level extraordinary person, but there were more than one extraordinary person among the attackers in the night. Wright saw the bright fireball and the charged sword flying in the dark. He waved the sword in his hand vigorously, slashing a fireball flying in the air to the side, and then cut off a long sword that stabbed from his side. But because of this attack, he used too much force and the melt-cut sword in his hand came out of his hand.
He staggered in his inertia, and a cool breeze that made his hair stand up from behind his neck. He quickly leaned down and then grabbed the attacker behind him with his backhand. He grabbed the attacker behind him, but he also successfully forced the attacker out for two steps.
Wright turned around quickly and saw clearly the appearance of the attacker. It was a knight in steel armor. Outside the armor was covered with a ragged white burqa. Half of the cloak that had been torn apart was hung outside the burqa. In the knight's hand was a long sword emitting a slight white glow.
The Holy Light Church's Knights.
When he saw the slight white light shining on the long sword, Wright's thoughts couldn't help but pause for a moment.
“It is different to face your fellow church members on the battlefield than to break out in the streets of the country… are you ready to face them?”
The knight holding the long sword seemed to have not expected that the big man in front of him would be so difficult to deal with after losing his weapon, but after a very brief shock, he reacted and then raised his sword to bully him. The holy light on the blade surged in the darkness, emitting enough heat to burn blood: "Go to die!"
The scorching heat from the holy light was awakened by Wright. He contracted his muscles and turned sideways violently, and he narrowly avoided the blow that stabbed his chest. Then he stretched out his arms and grabbed the attacker's wrist, twisting his strength to seize the enemy's weapon.
The holy light lit up near the knight's wrist, instantly forming a steel-like barrier and bounced away Wright's hand. Then the Holy Knight aroused a dazzling light and retreated at an incredible speed. Then he waved his sword, and a shock wave formed by the holy light was released from the front of the sword.
A bright arc of light hit the already shaky force field shield. The scattered holy light turned into scorching light particles, leaving a few burning marks on Wright's exposed skin. Wright took advantage of the last cover of the force field shield and rushed forward when the Holy See's knight was briefly stunned, knocking the knight to the ground like a tiger.
The Holy Knights struggled hard and let out an angry roar. The holy light kept gathering on him, causing his strength to rise step by step. But Wright pressed the enemy's chest tightly, pressed the other party's neck with one hand, and grabbed the enemy's wrist holding the sword with the other hand. He would not let go even if the scorching holy light on the other party's body ablates his palm: "Why?!"
"I'll kill you!!" The Holy Knight roared, and the scorching holy light blew out from his sword. The scattered light even burned Wright's shoulders. However, Wright just grabbed the Holy Knight's wrist more vigorously, and even shattered the holy light barrier on the other party's wrist: "Why?!"
The Holy See Knight looked at the angry enemy in horror. He watched the other party's flesh and blood burned in the holy light, and watched the rune light in the other party's armor extinguish one by one in the overload. However, the pressure he felt was increasing. In the horror, he shouted loudly: "What are you talking about!?"
"You bully the weak and plunder the innocent, you attack the civilians, you are greedy! You have committed almost every crime in the sacred book!!" Wright completely crushed the holy light barrier at the wrist of the Holy Knights, and even crushed the other's wrist. In the tragic shouts of the Holy Knights, he punched the other person in the other person's face, "Why! Why are you, those who are extremely sinful, still using the holy light!?"
His second punch was heavily swung. As the enemy's blood was splattering, the last bit of rune light in the magic terminal was completely extinguished. His whole body was exposed to high-intensity erosion of holy light for a long time. The magic weapon's protection was finally overwhelmed and the overload was destroyed.
Just as Wright finally fainted the Holy See knight in front of him, another enemy wearing a white burqa and holding a long sword of holy light rushed from behind him.
Wright felt the sound of wind coming from behind his head and felt the stinging pain of the holy light burning his skin again. However, he had no time to turn his head. He could only rush to the side as quickly as possible. At this moment, he also saw the person who attacked him from the corner of his eyes that the person who attacked him was the second Holy See Knight.
The second Holy See Knight did not give Wright a chance to stand up again. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Wright completely lost his balance and had no way to dodge, he had already swung his sword and slashed it down again, but at this moment, a stone suddenly flew out from the darkness not far away.
The powerless stone hit the shoulders of the Holy See's knights without causing any damage, but it slowed down the sword of the Holy See's knights by half a beat. The sword made a bloody hole in Wright's face, and the latter took this opportunity to turn over and get up.
Wright saw the person who threw the stones not far away, next to the entrance of the cellar, Emily was standing there blankly, still in the posture of throwing the stones.
The Holy See knight roared angrily, and with a swing of the sword, a blade of holy light silently crossed the darkness and pierced the little girl's chest.
Emily fell down in front of Wright's eyes.
Anger, hatred, or something else... Wright didn't know what emotions were coming to his mind at this moment and occupying his thoughts. He only knew that this was something he had always followed the way of the Holy Light and tried to restrain. He was temperate, he controlled himself, he was tolerant, he was controlling his emotions all the time, but at this moment, his mind was finally filled with those emotions.
The anger and confusion that had accumulated for a long time were pressed at this moment.
He seemed to have forgotten the Holy See knight who was so close to him. At this moment, there was only the little girl who had fallen to the ground in his eyes. He rushed towards the entrance of the cellar and rushed to Emily.
The little girl had her last breath. She breathed hard, and the flesh burned by the Blade of the Holy Light kept cracking in her breath, and blood poured out from the charred wound, pulling her even more towards death every second. Wright knelt in front of her, but after seeing the wound, he knew that it was too late.
But the little girl just tried to open her eyes and looked at the big man in the darkness.
She seemed to laugh, and Wright only heard a very faint sentence coming into his ears: "Big Uncle, there is really a circle of light around you..."
The Holy See Knights came behind Wright, and he looked at the enemy who seemed to have lost his mind because of the death of a little girl, then raised his sword high and swung it down without any mercy.
The long sword was destroyed in the collision between light and light.
He opened his eyes wide in fear and watched the tall "Cecilian" slowly stand up, a layer of light flowing like liquid enveloped the whole body of the "Cecilian", covering his armor, covering his skin, and covering everything about him.
Just like light cast.
Wright opened his eyes, and the holy light surged in his eyes, and in the shocking wound on his face. He raised his light-cast arm, grabbed the neck of the Holy See, lifted him into the air little by little, and slowly exerted force.
The Holy Knight struggled hard, and the scorching holy light made smoke appear on his body's flesh and blood. In the fear of death, he widened his eyes and stared at Wright's eyes: "Lord... curse you..."
"I-curse-curse-it!!"
Pure brilliance burst out from the gaps in the armor of the Holy See's knights. In this unprecedented clear light, the flesh and bones of the Holy See's knights instantly qi.
